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.

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.

3. Garlic Spicy Chicken

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!!!

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!

Surprisingly, craving this got me to come back a second time. The Fire Chicken Omelette Ramen had the same presentation, but Buddok ramen instead of sushi rice. Disappointing, because I could have just made Buddok ramen at home. The Schewan noodles were not spicy nor tasty. Takoyaki was good, on a bed of potato fries. Would order again. For the Beef Bulgogi Cheese Fries, the bulgogi is good, the fries are not. These fries are from the frozen section at Costco, make no mistake. They are bland, 2/5 star fries. Even if the bulgogi was on top of better fries, the bulgogi is dry and the cheese on it isn't melty or saucy, so the fries and the topping don't mix together well. Just a pile of dry food.

Shortly after we were seated, (literally 1-2 minutes) about 3 employees came to our table letting us know we needed to order within the next few minutes. It was like 10:05. I tried asking one of the employee what the meat options were and was just interrupted by him being persistent in us ordering and did not really answer our questions, mainly because I noticed some of the meat options were pork and I do not consume pork for personal reasons. My partner and I felt overwhelmed and just ordered something we thought would not include pork. After submitting our order another employee came by with the check already without us asking insisting for us to pay before our food even came out. Mind you the restaurant closed within 20 minutes at this point. When our food did come out, it did contain PORK!!! We just left shortly afterwards and left the food on the table.

This time, I brought my friend who has never had Korean bbq before for her to try. We went right when it opened so it was quiet. I told the server it was her first time and he was eager to explain everything to her. I don't think she was prepared at all what was about to grace our table He brought out a cart full of side dishes and start to explain what each one is along with the flavor profile. When he got to the scallion salad, she was just not loving it, but he told her to at least try and see what she thinks (don't knock it til you try it!) Then he said they're still getting the charcoal ready so it'll be a few more minutes and my friend's eyes just (like what?) So we start with trying a bite of all the sides. She enjoyed everything except the sliced onion salad. Surprisingly, she loved everything else, including the scallion salad! She's a texture eater, so I was weary of her trying the tofu, but she really enjoyed that too! So... the charcoal comes out, and she's just Then the server brings the grill with the cheesy corn, spicy bean sprout, and he poured in the eggs. Followed by the meats! Since she didn't really know what she likes, I made a few suggestions and the server suggests letting him bring us the most popular items first and we can work our way through the menu. What a great idea!! Started with brisket and ribeye and wow ... meats were fresh, paired with the sides, and the dipping sauces, it's just chef's kiss!! We then had bulgogi and pork belly and those were just bursting with flavor! The cheesy corn was good but burned too fast on the grill, the spicy bean sprouts are amazing, and the steam egg is my favorite . The only downside is that if you don't eat those sides that are cooking on the grill right away they'll turn dry and burned and it won't be as good. The cheesy corn also caused some splattering to our hands when we were cooking the meats. The server apologized for the oil splattering since he heard the squeal immediately soak up the oil from the cheesy corn so the splattering would stop. Overall, my friend gave it 10/10!!!
