    First of all, they changed their name (and the outdoor sign) to "CM Chicken". I've been meaning to check out their famous Korean Chicken for ages. There are many Korean Chicken restaurants in the Duluth and surrounding areas, but Choong Man Chicken seemed to stand out for some reason. I arrived super-early for lunch, and was seated right away. The place had a dark, barsy vibe...but they did play some perky K-Pop videos. Am thinking this place is more popular at nights...since chicken and beer is a thing (with Koreans). Anyway, the service was friendly...and the foods came quickly. Anyway, I tried their "Soy Garlic Spring Greens Chicken", which comes with a side of white radish. I also ordered a side or Rice. Since I came for lunch, I got the smaller portion, which was still substantial. As expected, the chicken was delish...but not quite what I expected. The chicken didn't seem double-fried (?) and wasn't crispy...which was disappointing. I guess to get the double-fried crispy, I should have gone with other flavors. I actually regretted not choosing their signature flavor, "Snow Onion Chicken"...as that chicken seemed more crispy. Overall, I was a tad disappointed...but mostly due to what I chose (?). Am thinking that I'll try their "Snow Onion" next time...and see if that'll merit 5 stars.

    Choong Man Chicken is a delicious spot for Korean fried chicken! It is located in the plaza with Teso Life, so there are a bunch of things to do before or after eating here. The server was attentive and the atmosphere inside was chill. I ordered the Garlic Soy Chicken and it was really yummy! Garlic soy is usually my go to flavor for Korean fried chicken and I am glad that the sauce was already infused in the meat as I know some other places like to have the sauce on the side. The chicken was super crispy and the meat was juicy! I also got the Cheese Monster Fries which tasted super good because of the cheese seasoning on top. My only qualm about this place is that the wings were TINY! I was expecting them to be a little meatier. But overall, this is a good spot for some crispy and flavorful chicken!

    We were craving some Korean fried chicken so we came here. Overall experience was good. We ordered the original and the garlic soy fried chicken. Food was good but there was too much breading and the garlic soy was very salty. We ordered some rice -not complimentary -for those who are curious but the radish is complimentary. We originally wanted to order the original and garlic but they don't have the garlic and said they now have the garlic soy chicken. (Just fyi for those who have been here before.) They should probably take it off the menu. Service was good, they have a QR code for the menu and food came out fairly fast. When we first walked in, it was kind of quiet but it could've been a certain time of the day that doesn't get much noise. It started to pick up closer to evening and I noticed more people ordering take out rather than dining in. But it's a pretty big space that's great for small or large groups. If you're looking for something fast, stop by here and check it out for yourself. Till then, let's eat!

    We are 7 on the group and we ordered all of the flavors of the tikkudak. All tastes great! We ate it with rice and also ordered the calamari. We like the side radish. We got full and finished everything. My brother ordered another of the red pepper tikkudak. I can only eat 1 of those. So good but really spicy and it will hit you after.

    The chicken is that good! We were supposed to snag a couple before pictures but this is all we managed to take. My husband and I placed an order through the phone to pick up. We ordered 1/2 spicy garlic chicken. And the regular 1/2 chicken. The flavor on the spicy chicken is amazing. Good amount of heat with a really nice crunch. We were lucky to eat it within minutes of ordering. I feel like the dining experience would've been an even better experience as it would allow for that proper crunch. When the chicken sits inside the box it will obviously get a little softer but it was definitely still awesome. As we arrived to get our order we were warmly greeted instantly as if they were just as eager as us to try the food Definitely a cozy atmosphere. Employees are wonderful. I will be coming back. The radish is also surprisingly wonderful

    My half eaten chicken, sticky rice and monster sauce. Don't hate appreciate!

    Let me tell you something... I thought I knew fried chicken but I did not! Love love love this place!!! It is true that frying chicken is an art and I enjoyed every minute of it! Choong Man Chicken offers a variety of chicken based sauces delicately cooked to impress! I suggest going with other people and mixing your orders to taste all they offer. Don't get me started on the coleslaw! BEST EVER!!! And I appreciated the serving of pickled radishes on the table. I ate the whole bowl. I will DEFINITELY be back! Thank you Chef Jeff for sharing your culinary vision and skill to us!!!

    This was my first time visiting this place, and probably it will be the last time... We got there and the restaurant was almost empty, but the ambience was good. First thing I asked was if the garlic chicken was spicy (I wanted to confirm) even when the spicy food on the menu has a chili as reference... The server told me that it wasn't spicy at all. I had a surgery and was not able to eat spicy and my mother didn't like spicy food... It took a long time for them to bring our food and when they did, we were impressed cause it was a lot of food (around 8 chicken tenders per plate) but when we ate... IT WAS VERY SPICY!!! We told the server and he bring us the plane chicken (we ordered one to share cause it was a big plate) It wasn't bad. But the real problem came when the server decided to send another person for the check. They were charging us everything (around 88$) which I consider it unfair, because I ask a hundred times if it was spicy and I told him I had a surgery!!! The second server just said that he was feeling sorry but 'Korean food is always spicy' but I live in this area, I'm going to Korean places all the time and never had that problem before. Either way, I asked and the first server could say that, instead he say that it wasn't spicy at all. At the end, the other guy didn't even come to our table. We had to pay everything. We were asked if we wanted 2 boxes to bring all that chicken home which it was kind of a joke for us. Terrible experience, terrible service!

    I give this place an 8 out of 10. My server didn't really explain which chicken was what, but we ordered the garlic spicy chicken and the garlic tikkudak chicken. They both tasted really good and had individually had great flavors. Their chicken isn't spicy at all even tho their description says spicy. This place meets the crispness of how Korean chicken should be cooked. I wished there were more authentic Korean side dishes to pair with the Korean fried chicken. The chicken that has the red base sauce to it tasted a mixture of sweet, chili sauce, & duck sauce. The other chicken that looked like plain fried chicken had a sweet glaze drizzled on top of it. In comparison to other Korean fried chicken I've tried in the past this place is definitely a place to try, but it needs more side dishes. There's nothing authentic about calamari and white rice.

    This place is kicking out some perfectly fried and slightly spicy chicken. I have zero complaints about the service, the joint or the food. It was all delish!

The Ramen came out in a togo container which i was surprised by had very little garnish no scallions and the noodles weren't even cooked all the way sadly, i know its ramen and takes only a few minutes to cook but that was a little sad, the broth was the saving grace, cause it was spicy, salty and had a lot of flavor. I really wanted to like everything, the chicken was perfect but the seasonings were not. I got fried chicken breast with cheese powder and I have never gotten it before so I wasn't prepared for it to taste like straight sugar. I also got the soy garlic sauce and no soy or garlic flavor was apparent to me which I love it was a light almost white sticky sauce on it. So I dont know of someone put the wrong sauce? I have had soy garlic sauce at other korean chicken places and its a thinner consistency more garlic and soy forward flavor and it usually brown. Maybe their version just doesnt have that. Not really hitting the spot. Also I guess I was supposed to get a salad with my meal but it was just shredded cabbage. The pictures show a green salad that other people have posted. Sadly disappointed on that note. The dressing was sweet too. The corn salad was sweet and cabbage filled. The onion mayo had a whisper of onion flavor and again I dont know if that is how its supposed to be. On last thing the spicy mayo had absolutely ZERO SPICE. Non existent spice spicy mayo made me sad. So if you like pink mayo, get that one. The cubed pickled daikon was the only thing that wasn't sweet and it was a nice relief from all the sugar. Maybe I should have gotten the spice chicken batter instead of the original. I want to try it again and approach it from a different angle on the menu.The chicken was perfectly fried moist and crispy. I really hope to update this with a different experience some time. It was a nice cozy little place near hmart.

Everything was fantastic; hot, flavorful, and fresh. Even the beverages were refreshing. The Lemonade was solid. The Peach Green Tea was new to my taste buds, and I really enjoyed it. I especially liked the Virgin Mojito, really nicely balanced and this would be my go-to drink for sure! If you're in the area, stop by and try it for yourself. I would absolutely return.
