I found the worst Kong dog 👍 I do recommend. You should try and taste this pain and stomach ache.
CM chicken had been the go-to place since my wife and I tried it back in its Glenview location.
We waited 30 minutes for subpar food. The Chicken sandwich is just a few tenders in a bun.

“Got the chicken sandwich and tteokbokki to share.”
Got the chicken sandwich and tteokbokki to share. Sandwich was so good and rice cake was authentic. We got a combo and the Portion was bigger than I thought.

“Korean fried chicken will always hit the spot.”
Korean fried chicken will always hit the spot! This restaurant is the perfect place to come to take a break from your studies and enjoy a delicious meal. The restaurant is super casual and a fun place to share heaping loads of chicken with some friends. We tried the spicy garlic chicken, the snow onion wings, and the tteokbokki. The chicken was incredibly crispy but still juicy and tender. Both of the sauces were good and balanced well with each other. If you’re seeking out Korean fried chicken in Evanston, CM is the place to go!

“Awesome Korean style chicken.”
Awesome Korean style chicken. Crunchy and delicious flavors. All white meat tenders were so good. The bone in half was delicious in Sweet Korean sauce. Honey garlic was pretty good too, definitely going back. The service was very welcoming and kind.

“Staff is too friendly and nice to be true.”
Staff is too friendly and nice to be true. We arrived when there was literally no one (3pm) and they were not only fast, but super nice! Regular fries are extremely crispy and not oily at all, and the chicken is something else. Please get the snow one or the one with green onions, must try!!! Decoration also on point, so we will be back!

“Quick and great service.”
Quick and great service. We ordered variety of food and everything was great. I highly recommend garlic spicy sandwich. A lot of people sleep on this menu and you got to try it at least once.

“I’ve been waiting for months for this CM Chicken to open and it did not disappoint.”
I’ve been waiting for months for this CM Chicken to open and it did not disappoint. We got a snow 1/2 chicken, and shared it between two people. It was delicious. A Korean Fried Chicken place is exactly what Evanston has been needing for so long, and it’s great that’s its finally here.
