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.

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!!!

3. Garlic Spicy Chicken
Liz Z.

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

6. Garlic Chicken
Guillermo P.

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!

Really good Korean fried chicken! The portions are huge. An order can easily be shared. This is the spot if you are craving hot korean fried chicken!

If you follow me on Google maps, Yelp, or Instagram @aka.thefoodguide, you must know how much I love spicy fried chicken. This restaurant was on my want-to-go list for a long time, and we finally decided to try them for dinner on the weekend. The place was almost empty. there was an hour for the business to close, but when we asked for the menu, the guy on the counter told us the kitchen was closing in 10 minutes so we opted for a to-go instead of dine-in. We got Snow Onion Wings and Spicy Garlic Chicken Tenders. The chicken was well coated with the sauce and they gave us white sauce and Onions on the side for the snow chicken. Wings and Tenders were perfectly cooked and fantastic flavor. I loved the numbing effect spicy tenders left on my lips.. Giving this place 4 stars because of the price point. 6 wings for $17 and $16 for 10-15 small bite sized pieces of chicken as tenders is way higher than any fried chicken or wings restaurant.

We had naengmyeon (cold noodles) and mandu (dumplings) for lunch at Naju Myunok yesterday. It was…read moregood. This is a popular, casual, quasi-cafeteria-style Korean restaurant in Duluth. This restaurant soft-opened in March 2024 and officially opened in April 2024 in the old Breakers Korean barbecue space near the defunct Gwinnett Place Mall, and I-85 at Pleasant Hill Rd (exit 104). It's spacious, but can fill up quick. We arrived at noon on a Saturday and there were still plenty of open tables. However, by the time we left, shortly after 1pm, it was packed with people looking for tables. Someone jumped on our table as we were getting up to leave. This is not a sit-down restaurant. Instead, you order at one of two touchscreen kiosks at the entrance and then wait for your number to be called to pick up your food. Everything is self-serve, from condiments to hot broth. You also bus your own table. Here's what three of us got: B3. Heo [sic] Naengmyeon ($16.99) - spicy sweet potato starch noodles with raw fish (should be spelled "hoe") C3-B1. Naengmyeon and Yuk Jeon ($20.99) - cold sweet potato starch noodles and thinly sliced beef pancake C1-B1. Naengmyeon and Dwaeji Yang Nyum Gui ($18.99) - cold sweet potato starch noodles and grilled pork neck D4. Kimchi Son Mandu ($11.99) - handmade kimchi dumplings My wife and I love naengmyeon. We thought Naju's version was good, especially in this fast-casual format. To nitpick, the noodles stuck together and the ice melted too fast. Regardless, I found the noodles to be delicious, refreshing, and satisfying. The spicy version came with a small bowl of icy broth on the side. The raw fish, beef pancake, and grilled pork neck were all tasty and of decent quality. As for the handmade kimchi dumplings, they were legit. Big and filling. In addition to naengmyeon, Naju also offers a variety of Korean soups (e.g., seolleongtang - ox bone soup and gomtang - beef bone soup) and LA galbi (grilled short ribs). During our visit, the pickup counter was staffed by a bunch of ajummas (Korean middle-aged women), basically Korean lunch ladies. I'd come back. This place seems ideal for a quick stop for an easy and reliable Korean meal / comfort food.

Maybe I just don't get this niche area of Korean cuisine but I found the cold soup kind of bland…read moreand most of the normal dishes I expect on a Korean menu, kimchi, the sides, japchae, etc. didn't seem to be there. The dumplings I ordered were kinda meh too. I feel like I could boil some Bibigo or Pulmuone dumplings from H-Mart and they would have been better. But again, this is a pretty big Korean area outside Atlanta and its possible I just don't know what I'm talking about on this one. In any case, it isn't really for me, and the dumplings were not great.

I do not feel as though downtown Duluth truly captures the amazing food scene of the city, but again, an old friend did like it enough to tell me about it. Inside was pretty spacious. High ceilings and bright. You have to go up front and order, and they'll give you a buzzer to let you know when your food is ready. Pretty standard so far. It's not too loud, even with the music playing in the background, so not bad for hanging out with friends after the food is done, though we didn't. We were all pretty disappointed with our food. It wasn't bad, thankfully, it was just meh. We could've literally drove 5 minutes away for better, so we left as soon as we finished. The good thing is you get to choose what protein you want with your dish, which is nice. However, the chicken katsu here is thin. Also, the K-Fried chicken doesn't really mesh with the pasta. It's like a skewer on the side of your main dish. You can eat them separately and be happy enough. I was ok with the bulgogi, but I would've expected better from a Korean establishment. I haven't tried every single protein option, but I won't lie, tofu in pasta isn't the most appealing to me. For the main dishes, it was pretty bland, especially the omurice. You need the egg and the protein for flavor. The Schezwan pasta wasn't even spicy. At least the carbonara was creamy as it should be.

"Mom's Kitchen Table", a literal translation to their business name, lives up to the name itself, no lie. The mom definitely uses fresh ingredients and put that extra care/preps to deliver the full spectrum of Korean home meals to the line - taste the banchans here and you will understand. A bit over-seasoned at times. but considering these are complimentary to rice, the main dish of a Korean meal, it is meticulously arranged to give the neutral umami you seek. One worry I have when I discover gems like this - the owner/mom must stay healthy and never retire, so everyone who are curious can experience it, at least once in their cycle. People who frequent other Korean restos may feel this restaurant is a bit pricey (a few bucks or so), but I will gladly pay for that few delta so I can have the best Korean home meal available in the area, period.

And wow, from K-Mom's service herself (and I think maybe her husband?) to the food taste AND presentation, this place is now on the repeat visit circuit. First let me rave about the banchan selection - not only is there 10 different banchan, they are quality banchan (see pics) ... my favorites were the anchovies w/ peanuts, spicy raw squid, radish kimchi, and shiitake mushrooms. The menu selection is your usual traditional Korean dishes and the prices may seem high but competitive w/ other Korean restos - and very worth it when you think about all the tasty banchan accompanying your meal. JE YOOK BOKUM - $17.99 Spicy stir-fried pork. Pretty good. Also came w/ a big bowl of seaweed soup (nice surprise and delicious) AND purple rice ... I love purple rice! YOOK GAE JANG - $15.99 My friend said it was very good! I only tasted the soup part and it was good! Overall, highly recommend - their food is a great example of 손맛 (sonmat). I'll be back for sure!
