We were so happy when they opened here. Cuz i can only taste good Korean chicken at Fairfax or Annandale area. But at the begin chicken was so good and has been changed a bit. And now they closed!!!!! Not even 6 months yet. So i am waiting BBQ chicken at cary town. Super good korean chicken. it seems really hard to survive in Richmond.

Really good chicken here--crispy and tasty. I got the Red Pepper flavor.What's also nice is the little things this place does for takeout. Boxes are kept closed with rubber bands (thank God no one chose staples) and the boxes have a hole at the top that will keep the chickens crispier a bit longer.

Good food I would come back but I do believe Bonchon is better. Overall a good experience though.

This is my favorite fried chicken place in all of richmond, and in all of Virginia. Choongman chicken is amazing with its double fried Crispiness and Korean nostalgia. I recommend this place to anyone who wants to taste REAL fried chicken. Korean fried chicken is the best ever, and you have to be kidding me if you choose KFC over this.

Used to be my go-to for the delicious chicken but the service at this downtown Richmond location has changed that FOR GOOD. The manager/franchiser, whoever was manning the place the last time I visited, REFUSED to honor the happy hour beer CLEARLY ADVERTISED on their menu. I wanted a draft beer, he told me the draft was broken. Then I ordered a bottle beer, he rings it up as full price and then acts like he doesn’t know how to apply the discount. Of course I walked out and this clearly explains why the place has been empty the past couple of times I’ve visited. Such a pity. Never again.

quality korean food, but you should know it's spicy. if you're not familiar with korean food, still don't start with the spicy dishes. it's a whole different cuisine from the spices most americans are used to, so i'm not sure if it's more spicy, but it's a different kind of spicy. and the hot dishes are really hot. pricey, but fair, if you're seeking some quality korean fried chicken.

Richmonds' best fried chicken. Awesome deal for college students who want a affordable meal between classes. They have lunch special Monday to Friday 11AM-3PM for $7.99. The special comes with an entree, drink, and a side. It's worth the hype, definitely check it out.

They are not playing around with the wings here. Succulent, juicy, perfectly fried and absolutely delicious! We got the garlic spicy and red hit pepper flavors and they threw in a free order of 5 fries drumsticks. Lots of food! We actually made this into two meals and my husband eats a lot! The size of the wings were a lot larger than we expected. I really enjoyed the wings and I'm no expert in Korean fried chicken but I do like this place over Bon Chon. Anyway, give them a try! You won't be disappointed.

CM Chicken place has really good fried chicken. The sauces are too spicy for me but that's okay if you like a little spice or spicy food you want to try their chicken. I got just the fried chicken freshly made as you order absolutely delicious even their fries are good and they give you entirely too many but thank you anyway it is true that they have very good food they have variety of styles of chicken, family meals and whole chickens cooked, onion rings, curly fries they also have fried calamari, fried shrimp, even fish and chips also the gentleman that was working the counter was such a pleasant gentleman. I asked him questions he answered them to help me choose what I wanted .... Please Enjoy be safe Peace and Love ????

No onions in your Snow Onion Chicken! Just make sure everything is correct from what you ordered. I guess the korean manager abandoned it.
The food was absolutely delicious!!! Cozy atmosphere with a chill vibe. I wish they had more sides, but the chicken is the star. Great place. Will definitely return. Food is better in store than delivered. Drinks are on the expensive side, but can be worth it.

I usually like this place but something is going on with the kitchen. I placed an order on 7/23. The food and was burned. I mean inedible. It was as if they began cooking and forgot about what they were doing..The young man behind the counter did provide a refund but no explanation of the poor quality of food. The management/owners need to see these complaints.

Onion rings were burnt and so were my wings. I ordered my food on grub hub then came to the location and the guy told me the onion rings burned is how they make them!! Really... Never again

Here we have the curly fries ( always fresh and hot), the soy garlic wings, and the red hot tenders. The red hot tenders are always so good and give off just enough spice that'll leave you thirty but not in tears. As a spice connoisseur I would personally Revert back to their garlic spicy flavor next time in replacement of the garlic soy. Definitely a place to visit in Richmond!

Got the curry tenders, great amount of food for the price. Flavor was amazing and it even came with a tasty side. Would definitely recommend, can't wait to try their other flavors!!
