“This place was great.”

This place was great! Seemed to offer to take your order via register, and also on a tablet if you so choose. It could use a tad better house keeping, the tables were still tacky, and some still had coke rings on the table. Overall a great visit and the food was awesome. 7.2/10 on the food!

CM Chicken is amazing!! The food is so fresh and crispy. The workers are very sweet and helpful. I enjoy the honey garlic tenders! Also, they provide gloves for eating and toothpicks. Great drink selection! 감사합니다!

“New choongman location.”

New choongman location! My other favorite go-to is in Glenview. This one was is now my go-to in Chicago vs the other Chicago CM locations. They have a small parking lot so if it is busy hours, I would get chicken to-go. The interior is pretty small so only about 3 tables for four people and a single window seating area. The water and utensils are self-serve. The chicken tenders were tasty and crispy. I always get spicy garlic with radish and snow sauce and onions on the side. I felt like the sauces here were healthier tasting/home-made vibes. The curry tenders were good too. Overall, would highly recommend!

“Got the snow onion whole fried chicken.”

Got the snow onion whole fried chicken! The owner accomodated us dining in even when we came in less than 45 minutes before closing time.

“If you enjoy hot, crispy Korean chicken wings, this is the place.”

If you enjoy hot, crispy Korean chicken wings, this is the place. And their fries were hands down the best I have ever eaten in a fast food place. Also, kind and attentive service with a smile. What is not to like! Lower score for atmosphere because there was a pallet of soft drinks and a bike in plain sight, and I felt their place was not there and they should be docked for it, but that did not really detract from the quality of the food. They have a pretty extensive menu which includes many Korean staples as well as snacks and several flavors of wings and chicken. Unfortunately they were out of a cold noodle dish we would have loved to try, but I am looking forward to going back for more.

“It's really sad and annoying when businesses close early.”

It's really sad and annoying when businesses close early. This is the third time this place has closed early by at least 30min. I will no longer be their customer. I tried calling in order at 8:20pm. Then arrived there at 8:40pm. And employ said they were closed. Oh one more thing. I know a lot of Mexican restaurants that never close early. I'll be going there from now on. 😆 🤣

“Disappointing experience.”

Disappointing experience. Drove over from Portage Park due to listed hours of 9pm close time. Arrived and walked inside at 8:29pm. I picked up a menu and began to look over options. I was informed promptly at 8:31pm that the kitchen closed for orders at 8:30pm and that they could not accept my order. For a new business it seems strange to close for orders 30 minutes before closing time. It is also strange that as a new business which is likely interested in winning over new customers, they would turn me away 1 minute after their "kitchen closing time" instead of accommodating me to give me a great first time experience. Maybe I'll return to give them a shot another time. Should change hours to close at 8:30pm if they stop taking orders at that time to avoid disappointing others.
