CM Chicken - Columbus

We've been going to the CM chicken down in Cincinnati for years and have enjoyed it. This CM chicken is more 'Korean' in the aesthetic sense, with 3/4 of the TV's playing Korean channels, with numerous KPop posters on the walls. Service was incredibly fast, good and authentic Korean flavors that remind us of being back at Thunder Chicken in Myeongdong. Pepper was wonderful, very attentive and kind. The locale is clean, although that busted men's bathroom door could use some work. Highly recommend!

This place is perfect, no notes 📝. The food is DELICIOUS, everything comes out so quickly, the entire staff is super friendly and great, and the prices are good! When I travel into Columbus for any reason I always stop here for at least one meal! The flavors are all fantastic, my personal favorite is the cheese monster and the garlic soy and my partner loves the spicy one! This is my favorite Korean fried chicken and honestly I can’t suggest this place enough. The chicken is so juicy and to breading is so crispy, even if you get saucy ones. I always go with the tenders, and I leave full and happy!

There is a new KFC in town, this is Korean Fried Chicken. CM chicken is a new regular part of my eating regiment. We have been there a dozen times, great for interviews, office team meetings, a quick snack, any time of day or week. Note: they are following the new trend of smaller shops and are closed on Mondays. Great spice options, also like the fact that they give you a choice of chicken tenders and traditional wings. I really like the garlic sow and have had the monster cheese chicken several times as well. When we stopped in yesterday, we tried their 3 piece lunch specials. This was great, since I was visiting with 2 friends. We each picked a different spice and then switched so we each got to try one piece of each of the spices. They always surprise me on how fast the food comes out. They also provided pickled radish, a Korean favorite, free at the table as an appetizer. Unique taste, a little vinegar, but definitely worth a try. They also have regular fries and for a small uncharge, curly fries or waffle fries.

I had the pleasure of visiting CM Chicken in Columbus for the first time with friends and family, and I must say, it was a delightful experience. The restaurant is well-maintained, creating a welcoming atmosphere that makes you feel right at home. From the moment we walked in, the service was attentive and friendly, making sure we had everything we needed without being overbearing. Our server was knowledgeable about the menu and offered great recommendations, which helped us navigate the diverse selection. Now, let's talk about the food! The Korean fried chicken was the star of the show—crispy, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. We tried a variety of sauces, and each one brought its own unique twist to the dish. The sides complemented the meal beautifully, adding to the overall experience. Overall, CM Chicken exceeded my expectations. It’s a fantastic spot for anyone craving delicious Korean cuisine in a relaxed setting. I can't wait to return and try more from their menu! Highly recommended for a casual outing with friends or family.

Our favorite Korean chicken restaurant! CM Chicken is the best fried chicken we ever had. We always go here for dinner, and the chickens were freshly cooked. It's super crunchy but still meaty, super flavorful, delicious, and, best of all, has a lot of servings! We recommend their snow chicken, garlic soy chicken, and their wedge fries! Our servers are friendly, alert, and check us out if we need something. The atmosphere of the restaurant is nice too. I love the way they decorated the walls. I wish CM Chicken had a branch in Pittsburgh, though. I doubt we could find anything like this back there!

This fried chicken can compete and to me is better than the American standard fried chicken. Super crunchy, but not greasy and the sauces are amazing! We had the half chicken with the spicy garlic and it was plenty spicy. Their fries were battered and delicious. I had the snow onion sandwich and the balance of flavors was amazing! The side of pickled radish were delicious and our server took the time (on a busy Saturday afternoon) to review their menu with us. Comfortable seating and a bustling but not loud or obnoxious variety of TV to watch while you wait for your food. We'll definitely be back!

Love love love love this place! We usually order take out and everything is always delicious. My favorite is the tikkudak style chicken. And I know the main thing here is chicken but the sliced onions you can get on the side are a must have. They're cool, light, crisp and refreshing. We get them with every order. And the pickled raddish!
