  • Chimac is the newest Korean fried chicken place on Queen West near on the north side of Queen between Bathurst and Spadina close to the corner of Portland. The place definitely looks more upscale from the many KFC places I've been to both in town and out. We arrived around 630 and we were able to get a table. I found it sort of unusual that they had pillows in some of the seats. Really the pillows are plump and in a chair there'd not be much room to sit with them but what ever it's different I suppose. They do have what you'll see at some Asian places is that they have call buttons on the table. You don't have to wait for service or for a server to pass by to flag if you want a refill on your water or anything really, just use the button. It may seem informal but it's practical and saves time don't ya know. We were a party of 3 and we wanted a variety of flavors and enough to satisfy our fried chicken cravings so we went with a whole chicken, bone in and selected 3 sauces (Yangneom, Pa Dak and Jack Daniel all on the side. As each is described: Yangneom - sweet & spicy Korean sauce Pa Dak - wasabi sauce with green onion Jack Daniel - Jack Daniel based chili oil sauce The mountain of chicken eventually came out. Honestly for a full chicken it looks like a lot but when there's 3 of you and it's bone in it's not as intimidating as it may first look. I noticed the batter on it was rather crunchy and so thick, bubbly - almost looked like Popeye's. That's really not that common from what I've seen from my KFC experiences. If you didn't tell me this was Korean fried chicken (or supposed to be) I would have no idea and it's not really distinguishable as such. I suppose what I'm saying is that most KFC places I've ever been to the coating of the chicken is not like this. It looked more like any other fried chicken. The batter is rather thick and since it's a whole chicken the pieces are also indistinguishable. I had no idea what I was grabbing for the most part if the pieces were not a wing or drum since the rest were just some sort of piece of chicken coated so thick I couldn't tell what anything was. The chicken was fried chicken and the sauces were on the side served in dishes large enough to dip and turn our pieces in to get them sauced. The sauces had some good flavor but nothing really stood out to me. I was expecting much more boldness from something that says wasabi (even the mashed potatoes at the cheesecake factory served with the Hibachi steak have the wasabi flavor) where the Korean chili sauce was just meh and the JD sauce which was 3 bucks didn't seem special. Chimac to me on this occasion didn't really impress me. I love fried chicken and I have had it at many places and this experience for me just wasn't necessarily memorable. It doesn't help that the prices are sort of in the Mymy league but for what it's worth the service and place is nice. Even though Kaboom is far from what may be considered the more traditional KFC places like Mymy, Dakogi or the Fry - they're still my favorite KFC place in Toronto.
