Chick & Jajang

"I was pleasantly surprised by this place. Last-minute decision to eat here on a rainy Friday night by the better half as this is right up their gastronomic alley. Very friendly staff and good service. One person (I think was owner) works the counter (so be patient if the place is really busy, 2 tables of medium-sized groups were seated and they managed fine). Everything came out of the kitchen piping hot shortly after ordering. Rave reviews on taste and quality from the better half. I had the boneless soy garlic chicken and it was very good. Taste and quality reminded me of another large similar chain that offers the exact fare a little further south. However, this recipe was tweaked and had more of a homemade quality that I liked. Also of note, the owners (mom and pop type) appear to be honest, hardworking folks who aren't screwing over their customers by price gouging when it comes time to settle the bil. When the receipt came, I noticed the suggested tip is calculated only on food and drink total. I appreciated the honesty. Some places inflate the tip by also including the tax in those suggested tip totals, that is scamming you out of a couple extra bucks $$$. Will definitely stop in again."

"Great portions, and yummy fried chicken flavors. The price is decent for how much you get. Small menu but I like that because it takes the hassle out of ordering when there is too many options. Jajangmyeon is huge and can be shared between two. We definitely over ordered when we also got a large portion of fried chicken. I'm in food coma right now. Honestly with price of everything these days, this place is super fair! Also they do take away :)"

"I tried Chick & Jajang in Daly City and ordered a large chicken with two flavors: chili and honey and cheese. While the overall taste was satisfactory, there was an issue with the cooking process. The chicken had an excessive amount of flour coating, resulting in an imperfectly cooked texture. The coating remained undercooked, affecting the enjoyment of the flavors. Despite this setback, the chili flavor provided a nice kick, and the honey and cheese flavor offered a unique combination. However, the execution fell short due to the excessive flour coating. On a positive note, the chicken was generously sized and had flavorful seasoning. The crispy exterior would have been enjoyable with a better-balanced flour coating."
