“ Our first time here and we loved it! Had a Wagyu burger, K-Chicken burger and seasoned fries. Everything was delicious! Served piping hot. Fast, friendly service. Can’t wait to return. ”
“ Omg this place is so good!! The k-chicken burger had a delicious bun and crispy chicken. Also tried the seasoned fries, cheese curds, and k-popcorn chicken jr. with honey butter. Everything came out fresh and super crispy. The staff was welcoming and the vibes were good with warm lighting and old cartoons playing. Def coming back to try the rest of the menu ”
“ Creative combinations that made for a delicious meal!! I had the Kimchi Grilled Cheese and loved the combination of kimchi with the cheese and sourdough. My sister had the Bulgogi Burger which she really enjoyed - perfectly crispy and grilled. Also the service was top notch and super friendly. Glad to have this spot in the neighborhood! (: ”
“ EVERY SINGLE ITEM IS A MUST TRY! I cannot believe every single food on the menu hit, even ones I thought I wouldn’t like. It’s a relatively small and cozy joint, with awesome art decor and great staff. They have two types of selections you can choose from: either Korean fried wings from Chimmelier or burgers from Oh G Burger. The Korean fried wings were so crispy and the flavors were so good. We went with butter honey and omfg spicy dry rub (which are flavors I usually don’t get) and it was SO good and crispy. Even when we box leftovers and at it the next two days, IT STILL HIT and was crispy! The burgers, fries, and sandwiches all had a bit of Korean infused flavors and all were so good. I am not a huge kimchi fan so I didn’t think I’d like the kimchi sandwich but omg that was fire. Everything else also tasted so good, I was so impressed. My friends got the breakfast burrito that I didn’t try but they swear it’s the best breakfast burrito they’ve had haha. Overall, great service, awesome vibes, and amazing food. 10/10 would come back and I’ve recommended this place to my friends! ”
“ Super excited to try out this Korean fried chicken spot! It shares a location/kitchen with Oh G Burger which I will have to try another time. Great service. There's limited table seating but also bar seating inside. Outside there are tables shared with the Peet's next door. After tip, our order was $100 which felt a little high but fully fed 4 adults with leftovers. I would come back The food really hit the spot and was delicious. -8 piece wings in soy garlic: super crunchy and flavorful! One flavor per 8 pieces -Medium popcorn chicken in OMG (signature dry rub): really enjoyed this flavor and you get a big portion of the popcorn chicken -Corn cheese: super cheesy and delicious. Good portion size -Tteokboki: not favorite flavor (personal preference) but still tasty -Shrimp toast: served cut up in bite size pieces and perfect for sharing. Perfectly toasted and flavored -Seasoned fries: good fries ”
“ Hidden cripsy korean chicken! This place is such a vibe. I finally got the chance to eat here after watching an Instagram reel about an influencer reviewing this place. I was greeted from what looks like the owner. He managed to handle incoming orders and people who were curious about this place. In order to try different flavors, you must pay for two orders. I got soy garlic & honey butter with a side of corn cheese. Iced water is provided. I must say, you are given with gloves if you do not want to get your hands sticky. The chicken was crispy and the corn cheese was very cheesy that it was delicious with the chicken! I ended up finishing the chicken with my girlfriend and her cousins. This was great, thanks! Located on a busy street with street parking depending on availability. ”
“ This is a cute, combination restaurant along Solano ave: a burger and fried chicken (chicken + sommelier for the name) place. I tried the Korean fried chicken and it was tasty! 8 wings, a side of fries, and a drink for ~$25. Fries were seasoned, slightly spicy, fresh, and tasty. Chicken was tasty, but a bit bready and with some cartilage. Vibes were fine but maybe 15 total seats including a couple tables outside, a stool/bar up against the kitchen and music was groovy but a bit loud. Manager was nice and helped me through the menu. Would come here again! ”
“ Outstanding burger with outstanding service! I have been craving a really good burger for a while. My standard places (Five Guys or Habit) just haven’t been doing it for me. I was in the Berkeley/Albany area and decided this would be a good time to try a different burger place. Oh G Burger x Chimmelier was the best rated burger place in the area that I was in. It was also the most out of the way. But I never been to that area so I decided to go for an adventure. I am very happy that I did! I ordered the standard double smash burger with Oh G sauce and tater tots. The burger was thoroughly greasy in the best way possible! A hamburger is not health food. A good hamburger should be 20% fat and thus greasy. This is an outstanding hamburger! And I’m so glad that other reviews mentioned the tater tots. They were fluffy, crunchy pillows of potato delight. I had forgotten how wonderful a tater tot can be! And the burger and tater tots together were just over $18 before tip. That’s right in line with what I pay at the other places I go, but this is a far superior burger. I will be back again, hopefully soon. An unexpected plus was the outstanding person working the front of the restaurant , Nivea (pronounced Ni-VAY-ah, NOT like the hand lotion). I’m a very observant person and my work involves increasing productivity (nerd alert!), and I developed as habit of observing how people do their work, especially in service jobs. Sadly, it seems that most people working in customer service jobs today have little to no interest in serving customers. That is not the case with Nivea. I came in at 7 PM on a Sunday night, so it was late in the shift the restaurant was full. She greeted me quickly and with genuine warmth and a smile. When I asked where the restroom was, she gave me clear instructions and also warned me that it might be a little wet in there. I watched her move around rapidly, serving all the different customers. Then she took the opportunity to clean up the restroom, then she was back filling up the water, pitcher moving rapidly to get it done quickly. When a large group that was seated at the counter, asked her what type of ice cream was used in the milkshake because they really liked it, she went to the back and got the information. I think there were only three workers in the restaurant at that time, two in the kitchen and Nivea in the front of the house. That’s a lot of work and responsibility to be on one person and most people in food service would not manage it, but she handled it with grace. I’ve never met Nivea before, I just think it’s important to recognize outstanding work whenever I see it, as it is becoming increasingly rare. She was totally caught off guard when I told her what I thought about her work. The group seated at the counter agreed with my observation that Nivea is an excellent server and worker. Nivea, if you happen to read this, there are many jobs in and out of customer service where your positive energy and diligence will take you far. Don’t sell yourself short. And to other restaurant owners in the Berkeley/Albany area: if you’re looking for a good food server, come by Oh G Burger x Chimmelier, and ask is Nivea is working. If she is, order some food, sit down, and enjoy the food and the service. ”
