Listen - this is THE place for Korean fried chicken. Seriously. No one else can beat these guys - the number of options, the staff (so sweet and helpful), and the flavor...-chef kiss-! Some how even the regular wings have a kick to them, not sure how that works but I'm here for it. If you have a spice adverse family member I would recommend sticking with no sauce because they still have a little kick. The soy garlic is a little sweet and a little heat. The spicy has a lot of flavor and definitely a spicy bite! I haven't tried the red hot because I'm not that brave lol, but everything here tastes amazing. The chicken is super crunchy, flavorful and the heat is awesome. The fries are a nice addition and somehow stay crispy even if they get delivered. I've eaten here at least a dozen times and they are solid every single time. Highly recommend - pro tip: order sauce on the side to try all the flavors and figure out which one is your favorite! read more

I rarely give. 5/5 but this one deserves it . I googled and found this place . Amazing service . The guys in the front desk were always smiling and very accommodating.. they had lots of tables inside to sit and dine . Best thing is , they have beer taps and some amazing beers - blue moon etc. was worth it . Tried some spicy Korean chicken and it was just amazinggggg.. superb crispy and nice spice .. priced right . Got a 10 pack wings for about 16$... lots of parking outside . Very very quick service . Will surely visit again when I pass through ashburn. read more

Foods tasty. Service can get a little backed up but that's ok. Sides are tasty too. Rice, seasoned fry's and slow are good. My only issue is the lunch whole chicken should be renamed lunch half chicken. Note to people who do not like spice - the basic soy is a little spicy I'm cool with it but you should know. And if you order take out... you may have an accident because the smell is so good it's distracting. read more

10 wings per order. The snow onion chicken wings are the best ones. They just hit like no other. The crunch and freshness of the onion and the creaminess of the sauce with the savory salty taste of the fried chicken is great! I definitely frequent this whenever I crave fried chicken. I always order online just for ease and pick up after 20 minutes. read more

TL;DR: This is my family's go-to korean chicken place, so have been ordering here for a long time! But recently noticed that wing sizes are getting smaller :( *Ambiance: A pretty small restaurant with a few tables inside. But is always lively with K-Pop music videos playing on their TV. I usually just order to-go here though. *Food: My go-to is always the soy garlic chicken and curly fries! Perfect amount of sweet and spiciness, and crispy! My only thing is that portions and wing sizes are getting smaller :( *Service: Service has always been great and really quick. I always order to-go, and they are very quick and efficient with payment! read more

Stopped going here after they cooked spoiled chicken. Be careful. Poor management of raw meats. We ended up throwing it away. read more

Love ChoongMan Chicken (or CM chicken) and great that there is an Ashburn location. It's super crispy and love the their spicy flavor. So good, but they don't have tikudak! Not sure about ambiance (since I usually to-go) but they always give me extra radish which says a ton about GREAT service. read more

Choong Man Chicken - Ashburn - My review - Chicken Wings Near Me - Ashburn, Virginia

I went here with a large group. Everyone said the food was good. The service was excellent. The reason for the poor review is that I wasn't able to eat here due to all of their food having peanut in it. There's a warning on the menu stating this- which is good to know for anyone with peanut, wheat, soybean, or egg allergies that they will not be able to safely eat here. A bit disappointing since the people working there were so nice. I sat with my friends but was unable to eat at this place. We will look for another restaurant with safe food options in the future. Hope they change their practice and do not continue to exclude those with dietary restrictions. Another side note - no vegetarian meal options - only sides which leaves vegetarians with no real options. With so many vegetarian options available it would be really easy to sub in veggie chicken and make it more inclusive. Also not sure why they say peanut is in everything as I didn't see a peanut dish on the menu - laziness on the owner or a CYA move - really strange and limiting for business and clientele. read more

I am so glad Choong Man Chicken opened up a location in Ashburn. Their KOREAN FRIED CHICKEN IS THE REAL DEAL. When my friends get together we would go to their Fairfax location near their apartment, but this is closer if the craving hits. What is korean fried chicken? If you haven't tried, you are missing out honestly. Go get some now. It's uniquely fried, crispy and crunchy outside and tender and hot inside. I usually get the wings either in soy garlic or snow onion (really great sauce to put over the wings), or hot which is fairly spicy. Some of my friends like the tenders. I say try both. It usually comes with radish cubes. They have curly or regular fries, Calamari, and some other sides too. Overall, ditch those chain chicken wing joints and support a locally franchised business with some delicious and hot fried chicken. It's sure to satisfy the craving and I know I'll be back. read more

Choong Man Chicken - Ashburn - Original wings with snow onion sauce on side, hot wings, curly fries. All delicious - Chicken Wings Near Me - Ashburn, Virginia

Just finished a long hike at Great Falls and needed a place to eat close to home where I could take my dog along. I've eaten here once with friends, but was slightly put off by the snow onion chicken (just bc I personally am not an onion person) but I remember loving the soy garlic wings. Idk if it was the hangryness or the heat wave but the chicken hit different this time. We ordered the soy garlic wings (10 pcs) and fried drumsticks (5pcs) with a side of coleslaw. I was literally drooling as I was eating everything. The side radish was one of the beat radishes I ever had and was a perfect palate cleanser for when I wanted to switch between the two flavors. The coleslaw portion was unexpectedly huge but absolutely delicious. The chicken itself was soft and tender - came right off the bone. I love how the chicken wasn't spewing grease everywhere and cmon the soy garlic is AMAZING - sweet, savory, and a lil kick to it. The sever was extremely accommodating to us especially since we needed to eat outside for our dog and gave us everything we needed for our meal. He helped us out with the menu items because my mom wanted to order too little and I wanted to order too much! My family is always in the mood for fried chicken so this definitely will be our go-tos from now on :) read more

ASHBURN, VA 03/12/20 DINNER TAKE-OUT +The owner-operator lady was very friendly and nice. +The decor and layout was okay. I liked the pre-stacked bags meant for chicken bones, at each table. -No loyalty rewards program. -The lunch specials could use some improvement. -There was no happy hour menu or mention of it. -I only noticed one big screen television, so good luck watching sports on weeknights and weekends. -Limited options on alcoholic beverages. Overall, I would return because I do like me some Korean fried chicken. Not sure if it would involve bar drinking or take-out. Will have to check back in with this fried chicken and beer joint in a few couple months. DM me if you see some cool things develop! read more

Another take on Korean fried chicken! The snow chicken is a must try if you love garlic. The sweet garlicky sauce plus chicken plus crispy onions are just perfect together! read more

Tasty and crispy!!! The snow onions are a must have. I look forward to trying the other menu options.

Great chicken! WOW. I just saw the place while out and about and we stopped in to try it out. got take out, garlic soy chicken and some dumplings. my mouth is still toasty warm as I write this review. the chicken is tender and moist, the coating is crispy and crunchy, the sauce is sweat and spicey hot! the dumplings have a tasty filling encased in crispy outer pocket of deliciousness. yes, I said that. this is my new go to for a spicey chicken fix. you need to head over and try this. the staff is also super helpful in making a choice if you are unfamiliar with the menu, as we were. read more

It used to be very good. They changed the batter and it has a spice in it that ruins the flavor for me. This and their questionable food handling makes it a no go for me. read more

Was super excited when this place opened up, as our favorite Korean Chicken place closed during Covid. Ordered 2 orders of boneless tenders. Got home, and my son and I raced to the kitchen, excited to dig in. We each grabbed a helping and simultaneously but crunched down on bone. Like ALL bone. No biggie. Simple mistake, right? They'll fix it. They wouldn't. So an hour and a half later, when they refused to even meet in the middle and replace half of my order with the correct food, I was left with cold, boney chicken and out $40. Total rip-off. read more

I bought dinner expecting CM Chicken, only to find out they're rebranding to Chicken 4U--felt like false advertising. More importantly, the chicken was disappointing. It wasn't crunchy or flavorful. The original had a strange smell, and the garlic soy chicken barely had any sauce. Even the popcorn shrimp, which used to be my favorite, tasted like frozen, pre-battered shrimp. Really disappointed and won't be coming back. read more

The chicken was very tender so no complaints there. However, the soy garlic & spicy soy garlic was a on the sweeter end so if that's your preference, you'll love this. Would definitely go back to try the other flavors! read more

The food I ordered was delivered on time and was the tastiest chicken I've ever had. You made a believer out of me.

Since this location is fairly new and also in a spot where people don't really know that it's there, it's a great wait time and a date night spot. The soy garlic wings and snow onion wings tend to be my go-to, but I am also a fan of the curry wings as well. There's plenty of screens where you can watch the game, or just listen to karaoke / kpop. The staff here are extremely friendly and helpful if you have any questions, and fairly attentive as well. read more

Best fried chicken around. Great service and delicious food. I eat a piece, hot, right out of the box before I can make it home!

U aint died and gone to heaven 'till you've had CM Chicken. Often, when we're driving past Ashburn Village, on Route 7, our youngest will dream out loud, "I'd sure love some fried chicken"... Somehow, the Koreans have figured out how to make chicken better than us. We usually just order the classic whole chicken for a family of four. They throw in pickled turnips, which is a nice sweet and sour compliment to the savory taste of the chicken. They chop the chicken into palm size pieces, so you'll occasionally get splintered bones; you need to be careful because you want to devour the chicken as it tastes so good. We always call in our order for takeout, though you can eat your meals there, and it's hard to make it home (5 miles) without diving into a piece because the smell is so good. Orders take about 10 minutes to fill. We first discovered CM Chicken during COVID as they would deliver to the car on the sidewalk (they'll still do that if you ask them to) There are other CM Chickens through Northern Virginia. Be sure to get the right one near you. read more

Small place, very friendly staff. I love the wIngs. If you can't eat spicy, do not order and then said its too spicy. I ordered lunch menu for 7.99, it comes witH 5 wings, rice, coleslaw and soda. Its better than fast food. Definitely will come back. read more

Choong Man Chicken - Ashburn - 3. Garlic Spicy Chicken. - Chicken Wings Near Me - Ashburn, Virginia

Choong Man Chicken what the heck. Your chicken game is on point - crunchy, tender, sweet, and spicy kick. But, your take out packaging game is an F. If you're going to package pickled radishes in a cup of radish juice at least double check your radish container lid is on tight before putting it into your standard paper take out bag with your paper boxes of chicken. Or put the radishes in a plastic bag by itself. This would have prevented my take out order of two boxes of chicken from falling onto my foyer floor with a puddle of radish juice. The foyer smells of radish juice and the backseat of my car also smells of radish juice from the bottom of the bag sitting on the car seat. Was very lucky the chicken wings didn't fall out the bottom of their individual paper boxes before I could make it to the kitchen. Chicken wings, would recommend. Take out orders, bring your own plastic bag. read more

I placed a "to-go order" today and the chicken I purchased was rotten. This wasn't the first time it happened to my order. The unfortunate situation of receiving rotten chicken and reaching out for a replacement has left me dissatisfied with the overall experience. The food quality was very disappointing, falling far below standards and leaving me with a regrettable experience. The owner at first was so reluctant about the refunds. After her staff also tasted the rotten chicken, as expected, he spat the chicken out immediately and confirmed. The owner finally refund my purchase. read more

This place is an absolute gem of NoVA. Hidden in the busy Ashburn plaza. As soon as you walk in you find yourself in the heart of some kdrama. Ambiance is incredible.

The real KFC. Korean fried chicken that is! This Choong Man in particular does it right! Most are franchises. Their lunch special is an excellent deal. For eight dollars, you get five tenders or wings, fries, coleslaw, pickled radish, and a drink if you are eating in the restaurant. As for sauces, I have tried to snow onion, the spicy snow onion, the soy garlic, and the garlic spicy. I prefer getting tenders instead of wings as I find them easier to eat. I love all of the sauces. The soy garlic is packed with flavor and probably my favorite sauce. It is sweet and has a very mild kick, but also not too sweet. The garlic spicy is definitely a kick up. Think of a Thai chili sauce that is spicier and with more garlic. When I first ordered the snow onion, I was pretty confused. It came in a container with this white sauce, a container filled with onions, and plain chicken. When I ordered the spicy one, it came with a little green sauce. Well come to find out, the white sauce is a creamy, sweet sauce that is absolutely delicious. On top of that, you dump the onions on top and have an amazing meal. My recommendation is to take the sauce and put it in the container of the snow onion, and if you have the spicy sauce as well, put that in the onion container also. Then, dump all of your sauce covered onions on the chicken. I love their fries, but I definitely prefer the curly fries. They are seasoned very nicely, and they always give you an exorbitant amount of food. Do not let the price tag for you. For $15, you get a ton of chicken that will last you two or three days. Highly recommend! read more
