I came here for the first time today (1 Apr 2024). The restaurant is well lit and very clean. The cashier was nice and explained the questions I had regarding the menu.I received my order in about 10 minutes after i sat down which I think is pretty quick. I ordered 1/2 chicken with curry flavor, curry snow onion tenders, curly fries, rice, and two milkshakes (reese’s and oreo).The chicken was hot, juicy,and tasted fresh. The curry flavor was really tasty, the curry has some spice to it but I wouldn’t mind if it was a bit spicier. The curly fries were good and taste seasoned. The portion sizes are big and you get your moneys worth; each entree came with pickled radish as well.The milkshakes weren’t too thick too drink and taste like what you’d expect. I did find bits of cookie and chocolate in the respective flavors so thats a plus.Overall I really enjoyed everything and I will be back to try more flavors.Parking: CM Chicken is in a shopping center. There is plenty of free parking.Wheelchair accessibility: CM Chicken is located in a shopping center. There is handicapped parking close to the restaurant and the tables can easily be configured to accommodate customers in wheelchairs.

It was my first time trying Original Chicken and it was so delicious. The owner is also friendly.

Small owned local business with juicy authentic fried Korean chicken. We were recommended by a friend and have never been disappointed! We order here often, our favorites include the spicy garlic chicken and original snow chicken (let me not forget to mention the yummy side of pickled radish). The chicken is always juicy and tender with an excellent crisp on the outside without being overbearingly salty like many fried chicken establishments. Additionally, the staff there is so friendly!!! If you’re in the area this is a must try :)

Ordered takeout, and the Korean chicken was flavorful. The pickled radish was so good!

Great chicken, their wings are fantastic! Very spicy and the food comes out hotter than hot. Great fries too!

Amazing for takeout Korean chicken even compared to the large number of other options in the area. The 'peck hot' is in fact, very hot.

Very good fried chicken with delicious flavors. There's a lot of different flavors to choose from but it seems that you can't go wrong with any. I wish they came with more sides especially for the price, but other than that it's great.

We ordered snow onion chicken online. When we got there to pick up, the worker said the order was never received. They had turned off their online ordering system. The funny thing is the order went through on our side, with email confirmation and credit card charged. We had to wait even longer for them to make our order once we told them in person. After we got our order and went back home, and then noticed that they didn’t even completely fulfilled our order… we order snow onion chicken but they forgot the onion and white sauce. We had to drive back and get our complete order. I would not recommend this location.

The chicken was incredible. The curry tenders were crispy, saucy, and very flavorful. Can't wait to try their sandwiches

Great chicken tenders. Lightly breaded and cooked to perfection with the right amount of spice. Will be returning for more.

Great taking chicken. Can't go wrong with the flavors. Find what you like. I usually do to go and the chicken is still good. One of my favorite fried chicken places. It has a good value for the price. Classic favorites are original, garlic and soy tikku. Don't order hot unless you can really handle spicy. This hot is hotter than a normal hot.

I went here randomly for the first time. Upon walking in, there were menus for people to take or look at which I thought was great. The employee who took my order was nice. I ordered the fish and chips meal. It was delicious. I’m going again in a couple of weeks to try the chicken.

My brother and I came here for the first time and we loved it! I got a regular chicken sandwich and he got the waffle chicken sandwich, both were excellent. They were crispy and very flavorful, the coleslaw was delicious and a perfect topping. I'm a little sensitive with spicy food so I got the mild to play it safe, and I'm glad I did because it was about as much as I could handle - in a good way. My brother loves spicy food so he got his sandwhich hot, and he said it was perfect. The atmosphere inside the restaurant is very inviting and clean. The lady who took our order was very nice, and our food came out quick. We will definitely be back, and can't wait to try more items from the menu.

2023 review - I got some chicken tenders here and they are just ok. Tenders were ok with the sauce helping me chew it down. A lot of the chicken shops need to start working on the basics and honing their craft. This way I can go to the best rather than a catch all. Great examples is raising canes. Also unsure if this establishment is CM chicken or pecks chicken. They do Korean fried chicken and Nashville chicken. How can you be great at both? Techniques are vastly different and it doesn't appear that they have the capability to scale to this point. I get Korean vibes with all the Korean liquor but Nashville chicken just confuses me. Pictures of BTS and Sergio Leone2018 review - I heard about the one in DC which has great ratings. So I figured I'd give it a shot and drive relatively 20 minutes to come here and get some fried chicken. I got the spicy chicken and the soy garlic chicken.Spicy chicken - 10 pieces of spicy chicken winglets for 11.99. Coming from a person that has worked in the carryout industry for a significant period of time, the chicken is flat-out expensive. There is only two ways for this chicken to be priced like this. The first method would be if the chicken was the bomb and the second method being if they hooked you up with a lot of food. They did not hook me up with a lot of food and the chicken was not the bomb. I'm not sure if they try to manipulate the spice in order to cater to the local area but it tasted like a honey hot sauce type of spice. Don't get me wrong, it's spicy but it's not the spice that I'm expecting for a Korean Fried Chicken.Soy garlic - this was more of a redeeming Factor for the store. It was sweet yet slightly Tangy and had an overall good umami into the chicken. This was expected as it's a soy garlic which is hard to mess up. Like the spicy chicken, the price is ridiculous and not justifiable.
