CM Chicken — straightforward korean in Lincoln Park. The kind of cooking that doesn't need to explain itself. "Amazing spicy garlic sauce, goes well with the tenders which were fresh, hot, and crispy" — Olivia H

“The chicken is… great.”
The chicken is… great! It takes a little bit to prepare, but worth the wait! Snow onion and green onion are by far the best two, and great combination as well! This CM also has soju and beer, and price is affordable and not too high! Service is there for you if you need anything, but without pressing too much, which I like! Overall, this is a great place!

“This is me and my partner's favorite Korean Fried Chicken spot.”
This is me and my partner's favorite Korean Fried Chicken spot. We've once ordered from here 6 times in a span of two months. The original soy garlic chicken is my favorite, but the curry and snow onion are delicious as well. Sometimes, we order the cheese curds which is also super yummy. And I appreciate the free radish that the chicken comes with when we dine in. This place is a staple for us and is miles better than Bonchon.

“I came looking for spicy chicken and cold beer and I found it.”
I came looking for spicy chicken and cold beer and I found it. The spicy garlic chicken tenders exceeded all expectations (which were high) and the delicious Korean beer helped wash it down and soothe the burn. I will be back soon!

“Such a treat to have good Korean fried chicken.”
Such a treat to have good Korean fried chicken! My friend and I had the honey garlic tenders and snow onion tenders; both were a hit. Service was fast and witty. We also each had soju (the melon was nicer than the peach, but both were good). We'd easily come back.

“Love that this moved into the city from Glenview.”
Love that this moved into the city from Glenview. Got the soy garlic chicken which was quite flavorful. Tried the spicy gizzards as well which has a nice texture and packed some heat. If you like spice, get this dish. The curly fries were quite good. Service was attentive and fast. This is the most authentic KFC spot in the city.

“Great crispy chicken wings.”
Great crispy chicken wings. Service was excellent. Not really a big draw back but this location didn’t have the pickled radishes like the others.
