Food is excellent. The wings/drumsticks combo in the spicy flavor is my husband's favorite. We have dined in and ordered food to go- and even after taking the order to go and eating at home, the chicken was still crispy! The fried rice is very good. The only thing I would like to see change is that they offer Yum Yum sauce. Overall, we love it there!!

Chi Maek is absolutely top notch! You can't go wrong. Their Korean chicken is so good I can't help but order it every time I go in. I have to go two days in a row some weekends so I can have the chicken one day and try one of the other dishes the other day. Bulgogi is excellent. I'm waiting for the cold weather to order the bi bimbap. Their kimchee is stellar. Love this place!!!!!

Ordered and sat down. I guess they were supposed to ask me if it was to go? Server came and asked how many in my party. I said I ordered. He went back and got my hardly sauced wings. Don’t like that they didn’t have much sauce. The fries were good and they gave a good amount of pickled radish but it had an artificial sweetener after taste. Not happy and would not recommend.

Speaking as a local and someone who has been around NYC and Philadelphia's Korean restaurants and made/enjoyed authentic homemade dishes, it's a pretty solid restaurant I go to often. Currently one of two Korean restaurants in the Lancaster, PA area. Bone-in and Boneless wings/Strips are available alongside a sampling of popular Korean fare, some Japanese, and fusion. There is a good mix of dishes for those who love spicy and those who are not, so you should be okay.
The soy-ginger sauce for the wings is delicious and the spicy sauce for the wings is SPICY! with a sweet finish. It's hard not to order almost everything off the menu to try it all. I recommend if you can, to ask for your bibimbap with an overeasy or sunny-side up egg if you can for a more authentic meal. My family loves the wings, bulgogi, and japche.
OVERALL, they're a good casual dining spot with dishes that are a great introduction Korean food. I strongly recommend eating here to get away from the chain restaurants that are EVERYWHERE on Lincoln Hwy. You get your money's worth and it's delicious.
Vegetarian options: Tofu options are available
Parking: It shares a parking lot with Chipotle, Jersey Mike's and an AT&T.

The place was a little dirty upon coming in. I never heard of this franchise before and I love a good Korean Fried Chicken place so I came in with an open mind despite cleanliness. I ordered half wings and drum sticks, french fries and fried rice. The fried rice is delicious and so we're the fries! I think I had the fries with Parmesan Cheese and spices. They were crispy but it did lack a little salt.
The wings were not so crispy compared the drum sticks. The spicy sauce was better than the soy garlic. I felt it was underwhelming in flavor. I felt for that reason, I removed a star for it. In comparison to Bon Chon, I thought Bon Chon their competitor, did a better job. Other than that, the food was good. Will I be back to give it another chance? I will consider as establishments deserve that.

Best fried chicken I have ever tasted in my life! The picked radish side is crispy and delicious. The octopus balls are very tasty and interesting. I never had anything like it.

Hands down best chicken in the area, and I’ve tried it all around here. Both the soy garlic and the spicy were amazing (More a fan of the spicy). Great customer service as well, 10/10 would recommend.
