OPENINGS
Chi Mac
This Korean fried chicken favorite, which has a location in the University District, has opened a second location in Bellevue’s Factoria Mall. Though the name is inspired by the early-2000s Korean trend of “chimaek,” the pairing of crunchy fried Korean chicken with a Korean beer, neither location is currently able to serve alcohol due to the absence of a liquor license, which the establishment is working on.
