My husband and I came here to eat the bingsu and it did not disappoint, the appearance and taste were all A+! I love the nice and cozy atmosphere with lots of cat decorations. The fried chicken was pretty good too but definitely the highlight for me would be the bingsu. The servers were really nice and explained how things worked if you never been here before which is always good.

Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

My husband and I came here to eat the bingsu and it did not disappoint, the appearance and taste were all A+! I love the nice and cozy atmosphere with lots of cat decorations. The fried chicken was pretty good too but definitely the highlight for me would be the bingsu. The servers were really nice and explained how things worked if you never been here before which is always good.
I had an amazing experience at Chick Master. I was welcomed warmly and got a table quickly. The staff was very friendly when serving my food and drinks which came out promptly. My girlfriend and I tried the fried chicken with the house special sauce, the furikake rice, the uji matcha green tea, the iced Spanish Carmel macchiato, the Szechwan inferno hot pot, the mango bingsu, and the dango. Every food and drink I tried was delicious, but the star of the show was the Szechwan inferno hot pot, followed closely by the mango bingsu. The hot pot had a variety of meats, but there’s vegetarian options too, and it’s also peanut-free. I was shocked at how flavorful the broth was, and it was just the right amount of spice for me and my girlfriend. The mango bingsu looked beautiful and had a nice subtle sweetness. Overall, Chick Master was a 10/10, and I’ll probably be coming here every weekend and/or in between my classes.
