CM Chicken - Columbus

I went with an out of town friend and we had a really good meal. The restaurant kitchen closes 30 minutes before the listed closing time, so keep that in mind. We ordered 2 different version of chicken tenders, plus some kimchi. The waitress brought us some pickled daikon radish which was a welcome addition to our meal as it helped cut the spice from the chicken. Things worth improving: They were out of drumsticks which was a bummer because that is really what we came for. We ordered tenders instead. There was a flickering spotlight above us and it felt like there was thunderstorm happening outside just from the light flickering. It was distracting but would be easy enough to fix. The restaurant was out of rice, which I can honestly say I have never experienced at any Asian restaurant ever before. The rice would have been a welcome addition to our meal. We didn’t order any of the fried foods, but almost all of the side dishes were deep fried foods including 3 types of fries (regular, curly, waffle) and similar items. Adding more authentic Korean banchan options would allow us to create a full balanced meal. Catering to an American pallet is fine, but restaurants should know that many of us are eating out for authentic experiences and not just endless deep fried foods. Highlights: Our waitress was super sweet and accommodating, and even walked us through the menu and gave us her suggestions for the best dishes. There were many TVs playing Korean cooking and music videos, and this added to the ambiance and was a nice touch.

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!

Friendly staff, service was great, food came very quick and was hot! We got two type of wings. Spicy garlic and garlic soy. We also got the steamed eggs and rice cake. (Tebokki) 👍👍🔥🔥🔥

This is exactly what I wanted. The chicken is incredibly crispy and came out blazing hot. I almost died and went to heaven eating the spicy garlic. It's right on the border of painful and delicious. It's a great place and I'll definitely be back.
