    I've been wanting to try this place out for a really long time. My best friend and I found ourselves in the area and decided to go in. The vibe gives me a sports bar vibe; only thing missing is a pool table. There is a lot of seating for big parties. Some of the items on the menu were unavailable, which was a little disappointing. We ordered the soy garlic chicken - let me just say, WOW!! Those thangs are soooo good! We also got the snow onion chicken, their specialty, with onion rings and fries. The parking was okay, we actually found a spot on the street. Overall, the service was okay, and I would come back here, the food was definitely flavorful. One negative when I revisited for takeout, I asked the attendant for hand wipes because I had the chicken wings. She informed me that they have hand wipes, but only for dining, and they don't provide that for people who buy takeout. I thought that was weird. So gotta take away a star.

    The chicken here is one of a kind and matches up with some of the best. The chicken is battered well and the flavors they offer here are great. I highly recommend trying the curry wings with their onions on top its a perfect mix of freshly fried and fresh onion crunch/taste. You order from a kiosk so your interaction is limited with staff. So far, they are nice and happy to assist with recommendations but you do have to call to your server. There is plenty of seats to stop by with friends or family to catch a game or some beers after work. The location is large and very clean. They offer happy hour and some other daily specials you can find on their website. Only negative is that they need to change their paper they serve some of the items. It easily "melts" into the sauce because of how thin it is and it cant handle the amount of sauce most the orders have. The paper has ink and potential bleaches that people can unfortunately eat.

    Delicious! I got the red hot pepper chicken wings and they were perfect. The spiciness levels was on point. It has the exact kick to it. Great service and friendly workers.

    I've had this place twice but only to go but both times were really good! I really liked the red hot snow chicken. The sauce is very unique and goes really well with the chicken. I've definitely gotten this only for myself and finished the whole thing LOL. The flavors combine really well together and I LOVE onions so this is a plus for me. The inside has pocha vibes and seems like a cool place to hang out for drinks with friends.

    absolutely LOVE CM Chicken in Gardena!!! It's always consistent in quality and literally the best wings i've ever had... Very clean and usually enough tables to sit at -- Jade is such a great and kind personality there too! 10/10 I recommend this place to everyone I know. Also!!!!! the music there is always so good ~~

    Great pocha vibes and a nice, clean interior. You get a generous side of radish when you come in and ordering is quick on a tablet. We got the teokkboki, and it comes with lots of shredded green onion and fishcakes. The rice cakes were decent, and the sauce was flavorful. We also enjoyed a half chicken with spicy garlic sauce, though it took a bit (30 minutes) to come out. It could have been crispier, but the flavor was good, and even the white meat was pretty tender and juicy. Service was great; everyone was attentive and quick. Overall, a great late night spot to talk, drink, and eat!

    Plenty of parking, free lot. Clean inside but unique set up. We stood at a counter thinking we were waiting to order. But then told we order at the table. Some of the items at the table were not the same as at the counter. Large portions, great flavor, it is expensive but many chicken places are. Service was Slow. No one checked on us, but the interaction we had wasn't bad. I'd come back for the door but maybe to go.

    Best KFC in my opinion in our neighborhood. I love their different flavors. My daughter and I go there for their mushroom and beef soup. It's soul soothing. Great space, clean and friendly staff. You won't regret going.

    Half and half chicken with gizzards
    Peter H.

    My friends and I decided on Korean fried chicken as a sendoff dinner for the out-of-towner in our group. Sure, a CM Chicken exists close to where he currently resides, but you know what the hey. The server gave us a rundown of favorites and personal suggestions, though as it often happens for us, we tend to think there won't be enough food to go around. The order ended being a half original fried chicken, another half chicken with soy garlic, tikku soy garlic gizzards, a plate of uncommonly Romanized topokki, a bowl of coleslaw, two bottles of Terra, and a pot of mushroom nabe soup. On this particular evening, the soundtrack had a mix of rap and R&B, with stuff like Frank Ocean and Childish Gambino filling the air. The quick stuff like cole slaw and toppoki were served pretty fast, while the other stuff took a little longer but not by much which is great considering business was bustling. Cole slaw tasted like your standard issue slaw, though others remarked that it was a tad too sweet for them. What we had not accounted for was the chicken came with a shredded cabbage salad with dressing as well as a side of pickled radish, so now we were over-vegged. The toppoki's taste and texture made it a nice starter. Chicken was hot and fresh as expected. Soy garlic is the kind of flavor that makes me want to inhale food, so having it on both the chicken and gizzard was indulging. With all that said, my favorite might just be the mushroom nabe soup which held the balance of being savory, hearty, and comforting with all the ingredients they pack into it.

    2. Garlic Soy Chicken
    Jaclyn R.

    Place is open late. Food is all super fresh! Service is good! Vibes are good! Calamari 10/10 - they don't have limes but did bring out 2 sauces that went well. Chicken we got half honey half soy garlic 10/10. Tasteful and super crispy! Mushroom soup with udon noodles was very tasteful 9/10. Corn cheese was 4/10 for me. Too much unmelted cheese and the corn to cheese ratio wasn't right. Blue curacou lemonade 6/10. Too sweet for us. Will come back! 10/10 recommend!

    I had my chicken delivered and it came nicely packaged and still crispy! I will order again.

    This place is a relatively large chicken shop near the heart of gardena. There are many large tvs, plenty of tables, and a darker color scheme. I came in on a weekday to try their lunch special. The server (there was only one) was nice, if a bit inattentive since a lot of customers were inside. She definitely tried her best. I ended up with their spicy garlic chicken with waffle fries and a strawberry lemonade. The free pickled daikons at the table were good, not too overwhelming for me. The lemonade I thought was very sweet then very tart. Much too extreme for me, and I didn't particularly enjoy it. The waffle fries were nice and crisp with good seasoning. The chicken was sauced well yet retained a solid crunch. The inside was tender and moist with hints of the brine they used. It packed a really spicy punch with some sweetness and garlic flavor. Not exactly my flavor profile but excellent nevertheless. Even with all these positive notes, I personally did not enjoy it enough for five stars from what I suspect is my own choices. This place is great, but I would need to come again to reevaluate my feelings on the food and drinks.

    Esther S.

    Our server was so great! We came on a Thursday night (come on Wednesdays for BOGO 50% off wings) and it was still decently busy. Tried the snow onion chicken but I think the onions they use here are too harsh. It wasn't as good as other places I've tried it and I preferred the garlic soy wings. Ample sauce and great crunch!

It's a sports bar, with lots of Dodgers and Lakers fans, Rams and Clippers too, even a few Raiders fans will come here for games. There's a regular who's a Niners fan - don't forget to ask him about the 2024 Super Bowl. $2 off shots for touchdowns & homeruns by the home team. Very diverse crowd, representative of Gardena. Several older customers during the day, then it skews much younger in the evening. There's a pool table, several dart boards, you can play keno and the lottery at the bar. They occasionally have a dj on weekends and a karaoke night during the week. Saturday and Sunday days are swell times to spend here. Customers occasionally bring food to share with everyone. The Saturday through Monday day bartenders (Lisa, Rel & Erin) are great to hang with. If you're a regular, they'll remember your drink as soon as you enter the bar. There's parking in back, and most people enter the bar from the back. Open every day until 2 am. Definitely stop by if you're in the area.

The interior is neat and clean. There are various types of seating (bar; table; booth; high-tops; communal), and plenty of screens to watch sports. On this occasion, I ordered the Tavern Fish & Chips ($22). It is described as "Alaskan cod coated in a tempura beer batter and served with French fries, tartar sauce and yuzu herb coleslaw". The positives of this dish are that it was prepared well. Both the fish and chips tasted good. The presentation was also nice; which leads to the coleslaw: The coleslaw tasted good, too; but I was surprised the serving was so spare. It's almost as if it was served just to optically balance the presentation in the basket. (See photo shared,) And while the price was not unreasonable, feel it's creeping towards expensive (relative to serving size). I'll attribute this to rising input costs. Staffing might be an issue during the lunchtime service. Service was okay, but they seemed to be understaffed. It's possible that most of their business is done after 5pm.
