We had the Half size Garlic Soy Chicken and it was delicious! Crispy skin, juicy meat, and savory sauce. It was spicy and I’m not sure if it was supposed to be as the menu didn’t indicate that garlic soy would be spicy, maybe someone put the Red Hot sauce instead by mistake? Regardless, it was delicious! Servers were very attentive. Dining room was clean but the mens bathroom floor did need some mopping. Still a great experience and we’ll definitely be back!
I’m eating at Chungman Chicken right now and it’s amazing! The chicken is super crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. The flavor is exactly what I was craving, and the portions are generous too. The place has a nice vibe and the service is friendly. Definitely a spot I’d come back to again!
The Korean chicken wings were absolutely delicious! Perfectly crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and coated with the right amount of flavorful sauce. The portion was great, the taste was addictive, and I’ll definitely be coming back for more. Highly recommend if you’re craving something tasty and satisfying!
Great portions!! All the flavors are great and they offer a lot of different options for flavors. Best korean fried chicken in the area
The food never disappoints. Personally a fan or their Hot BBQ, spicy with tang. Also their Red Hot Tikku is amazing. I came across CM when I was looking for spicy chicken and I've been hooked and keep coming bakc when in the area. Staff is very courteous and attentive. They have kpop and and pop music playing on TV for guests.
This is our third time at CM chicken and it’s delicious as always. We always make sure to get the chicken gizzards. They’re so crispy and crunchy. The red hot flavor is so spicy but worth the pain. The staff are very polite and the food comes out quickly. We will always be back!
I have eaten here several times and it is always amazing. The Snow chicken tenders are my favorite followed closely by the curry snow chicken. And it comes with complimentary sweet dikon radish! The staff work fast too. For making things fresh, I'm always amazed at how quickly it comes out.
A little pricey but tasty. Garlic soy green onion fried half chicken (~$18) to go. The pickled radishes weren't as good as other places. Got the spicy sweet red sauce and lemon wasabi sauces on the side. Both good ($2 each).
