About

CM Chicken is widely loved for its crispy, flavorful Korean fried chicken. Many customers call it a hidden gem, especially for a quick bite before a movie. While the food is consistently praised, the owner's management style is a frequent topic of debate, with some finding him kind and others feeling he is pushy or rude. It is a go-to spot for those craving authentic spice and crunch.
