Chick N Roll has opened its second location, in Chesapeake.
It serves Korean fried chicken wings and chicken bites, sandwiches and wraps. It also has a beef bulgogi panini and a burrito wrap. Specialty coffee drinks, lemonades and milk teas are also available.
There’s one thing missing from the menu: sushi rolls. This Chick N Roll, which opened last month, doesn’t sell them because another establishment in the same strip mall does. The Portsmouth site still has them.
But don’t chicken out from visiting; this place is cozy and offers fantastic poultry.
The floor-to-ceiling windows bring in enough light to make the matte black chairs, tables and walls look bright and modern. The light bulbs dangling from the ceiling have a warm glow, providing comfort for people dining in.
The restaurant has two kiosks for customers to place orders; they sit on a gray and white counter in the back. Staff can assist if something goes wrong or can ring up the order at the register.
Hyon LeRoy, who owns Chick N Roll with Alex Joo, said the chicken is marinated for 24 hours and cooked fresh daily.

The soy garlic chicken wings at Chick N Roll in Chesapeake.
That must be the secret to the spicy and regular soy garlic chicken wings; they’re delicious. The skin is crispy but not fried hard. The sweet, savory and sometimes spicy flavor is succulent and leaves the fingers sticky.

The katsu chicken sandwich from Chick N Roll in Chesapeake.
The katsu chicken sandwich is tasty and crunchy, too. It’s thick and juicy breast meat with Japanese style demi-glace sauce on a kaiser bun, topped with pickles, cabbage, red onions and American cheese.
Clucking good.
