CM Korean Fried Chicken

I heard the hype about Korean chicken for a while just never had it....until I went to a chicken and beer festival. I became an instant fan but was sad that I lived on the oppopposite side of town. Then I heard of a second location opening in broad ripple and realized I was going to be close so this was my chance to stop in. This location is specifically advertised as take out only, but there is like on long bar table when you walk in. It's a smaller establishment so I see why it would be take out. Upon arrival, there was k-pop playing with posters of different groups on the walls. One of the employees greeted me as I walked in and could tell I was a first timer so he went through the menu with me. I decided on some sweet chili chicken tenders for my husband and garlic soy chicken wings for myself. I also got an order of spring rolls and decided to try a Korean drink. The drink was a strawberry cream soda which was very good. It had no caffeine, no preservatives, and no corn syrup. After about a 10 minute wait my food was ready to go. It smelled so good I was tempted to open it up on the ride home. Once I got home, my husband and I dove in to the food. The chicken was so crispy and the garlic soy had a little kick. I understand why it's their most popular flavor. I got about 7 wings. I don lt remember becauae I demolished them so fast. There were about 5 chicken tenders and they were a nice size. My husband struggled to finish the last one, but he did. Overall the hype is there. I'm very glad I got the opportunity to visit and though I'm not in the area often I will be sure to stop here again.

CM Korean Fried Chicken makes amazing fried chicken--crispy, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. Every bite was packed with that signature crunch and just the right amount of seasoning. If we were talking about just the food, this would easily be a five-star spot.However, the price is definitely a downside. While I don't mind paying for quality, the cost was high enough that I'd think twice before returning. On top of that, it's takeout only, which made things tricky since it's not close to me. After spending that much, I wasn't about to let my food get cold on the drive home, but eating in my car wasn't ideal either.If you're nearby and don't mind the price, it's absolutely worth trying. But for me, the combination of cost and lack of dine-in options makes it more of a once-in-a-while treat rather than a go-to spot.

I was over in the Keystone Avenue area with my daughter today and she wanted to try CM Korean Fried Chicken.I'll start my review by saying that the food was much better than I ever expected it to be, by looking at the place.So let's start with the pros. The chicken (we each got strips but they also have wings, as well as bone in chicken) was on point and executed very well. They were juicy and hot. I ordered the sweet chili strips and they were breaded and tossed in the sauce and excellent. My daughter ordered the Hot White Onion tenders and they came with a bowl of cold but spicy creamed garlic type sauce and a separate container of sliced onions. Likewise she said they were very good.Each of our lunches came with about 6 tenders, which was definitely enough for a meal.Now let's discuss the cons.There is really no place to eat inside and it's set up as a purely take out location. No tables, no customer accessible restroom, etc. They do have a very small counter like area at the front of the restaurant with some chairs setup for waiting on your order. That all said, we actually ate at that counter because quite frankly I wasn't paying what I did for 2 orders of chicken strips & 2 canned drinks, even as good as they were, to eat it in my vehicle.Next, the prices are high for what is in the end just chicken tenders (albeit very good ones) either tossed in sauce or served with a side of sauce. Our bill after tax for 2 orders of tenders (no sides) and 2 canned drinks after tax but before tip (yes they have a tip line for completely carry out chicken) was right at $45.We were there during the weekend. It does appear that may have some lunch specials Monday thru Friday during the mid day that likely has some smaller portions for less $$.Parking was OK as it was in a strip mall type location.So if you want some good Korean cluck and you're not too worried about saving a buck, give CM Korean Fried chicken a try.

I ordered online. It was easy to use but it would have been helpful if anywhere it said what the estimated time was for preparing or when it should be ready for pickup. Having never been here before we just guessed and went 20 minutes after ordering- it was ready. There are a few counter seats but this seems like a to-go place. We ordered spring rolls - 4 came in the order. These were good, had an interesting Asian spice or flavor I couldn't place. 2 sets of seasoned wings - spicy garlic and sweet chili. These were both really good. Messy and coated in sauce but very juicy wings. Pretty rich honestly. The spicy garlic had a nice kick and the sweet chili was sweet as expected. I think there were 8 wings per order. We also tried a Korean corn dog. The Original Fish Sausage. Maybe I'm not well versed in corn dogs but I wouldn't order this again. The outside was crispy but the inside came in 3 different sections it seemed. The tip was maybe a yellow cheese, followed by the mild white cheese and then a hard chewy sausage situation at the very bottom. I wouldn't get this again.

My daughter is the sweetest person ever. She decided to treat me to lunch today & got us the lunch special. I had the wings combo with French fries. I opted for the honey garlic sauce. The chicken was crunchy, hot to temperature & the sauce was perfect and so flavorful. I was a little scared because the lunch special only offered 3 wings haha but it was more than enough. The wings were a nice size and very filling & the fries were also good. My daughter said the people were very friendly. It's small inside but she said it's very clean. They have an option to dine in but she got our food to go. The prices are a little higher than I would prefer for a lunch special ($11.99) but the food made up for it & thank goodness she paid for it haha. I suggest going to check them out.

I was lured into CM Korean Friend Chicken after watching an influencer on Instagram. Wow is this delicious! I really enjoyed all the options for the sauces. Fried chicken with a Korean flair! I was even more surprised at how tasty the yogurt fries are! The Korean drinks were delicious as well. It was a bit pricey though for a fast food place.. $98 for 4 people! Yikes! Also there was only a counter to wait for take out. It was fun to have a unique experience, but I could not go often for the price.

Amazinggggg Korean chicken sit down and carry out restaurant. We've been 3 times and love it! They are adding things to the menu and are very excited to try their new sauces and flavors. The curry chicken sandwich is a must. Be careful getting anything spicy. Their spice levels are through the roof and I love spicy but it's a little too hot for me. That's my reason for 4 stars. I love spicy food and I struggled to eat one of their chickens that had a mild spice level. Their wings and tenders are so delicious with flavor and are perfectly deep fried which mouth watery sauces. Service is middle of the road as far as speed but it's because they make everything so fresh.

Well I wanted to see what the hype was all about so I came here for lunch! The cashier was pleasant and patient while I checked out the menu. I got a 7 piece wing with golden curry sauce and Cole slaw. The hype is right! This chicken was crispy and flavorful, the sauce has a sweetness but also a mild spice with garlic and herbs, it was fantastic!!!! The Cole slaw is regular slaw but not too sweet, definitely recommend!!!!

Late lunch here in BR. New place opened last week. Garlic Spicy Drumsticks, and Sweet Onion Fries were good, well seasoned, and not overly garlicky. You will need water to wash it all down. Service was fast, but there was only 1 group ahead of me.

Great tasting chicken with a thick crunchy breading. They have a small bar top area, but this is really a carry out joint. I wish they didn't use styrofoam containers, but they do poke holes in the top to realease steam that would make the chicken soggy. The soy garlic has a touch of heat and a great garlic kick.
