About Chimek Northbridge

Chimek delivers saucy Korean fried chicken, towering burgers, and craft comfort eats right into the Northbridge late night. Regulars head straight for the wet-style glazes—think fiery Dak Gang Jeong and rich Gochujang coating crisp bone-in pieces and tenders. The kitchen leans hard into cross-cultural diner mashups, stacking fried chicken onto waffles, packing popcorn chicken over mac and cheese, and building heavy Seoul burgers layered with melted cheese and pickles. Tables stock disposable plastic gloves to tackle the saucy mess head-on. Pair a sharing tower with cold beer or a carafe of somaek to wash it down.

  • Wet-Glazed Fried Chicken: Crispy wings and bone-in pieces come tossed in heavy Dak Gang Jeong and Korean Gochujang glazes rather than dry rubs.
  • Korean-American Comfort Mashups: Diners can order fried chicken paired with waffles, popcorn chicken over mac and cheese, or stacked burgers.
  • Gloves for Mess-Free Dining: The kitchen provides disposable plastic gloves at the table so diners can dig into saucy chicken mess-free.

  • Affordable, Heavy-Hitting Value

    Generous meal sizes and budget specials like weekday discounted burgers deliver filling comfort without a steep bill.

    Really good and worth the price. The chicken was crispy and tasty, and the portion was filling. Definitely a good student deal 🫶

  • Heavily Glazed Wet-Sauce Styles

    Rich, generously coated wet sauces like Korean Gochujang and Dak Gang Jeong give the chicken deep, bold glaze flavor over standard dry dustings.

    the more "wet" style sauce puts it above some of the more dry rub styles at other places

  • Shareable Platters and Towers

    Generous shareable towers, large platters, and casual seating make it a natural hangout for friend groups sharing a meal.

    Ordered the tower, was plenty of food for 4 big Bois. Very tender and delicious

  • Soju, Somaek, and Upbeat Energy

    Chilled soju, somaek, and craft beers paired with upbeat music videos create an energetic, carefree late-night party vibe.

    Platter was great, I’m especially fond of the chicken tacos. However, the corn cheese did not tailor to mine nor my friends’ taste buds :( we found that the cheese powder was way too concentrated. On another note, the staff were really friendly and we had great banter over alcohol and making YouTube videos, haha. Overall a great late night munchies restaurant :))
