    Green Onion
    Nicole G.

    Family favorite for tenders. It's a Sunday staple in my house. I enjoy the wings but need them a bit more spicy. I like the onion slaw on the side. The seasoned wedges are a must! Food always delivered and it arrives hot. Funny story: it smelled so good a squirrel opened our screen door trying to get a piece.

    1 lb. Tikku Tender
    Chalita P.

    Revisiting and my opinion has not changed since I've tried this over a year ago. Literally if not the best chicken tenders I've had. I'm not talking about boneless chicken or chicken wings. In terms of chicken tenders I haven't had better than here overall. The flavor was on point. I got the soy garlic tikku chicken but it was not your ordinary soy garlic, there's some kick to it which adds to the flavor. Maybe they should relabel it spicy soy garlic! If I had any critique I wish it was more crunchy. Needless to say, I will be back.

    Corn dog

    My lady and I love the Ridgefield location. We finally decided to try the Montclair one the other day. We always get the Korean corn dog and usually the soy garlic wings. Was very glad to see the extensive menu at the Montclair location. Plus all the seating is a definite plus. Certainly an improvement on the 2 seater window counter in Ridgefield. Sadly it's where the advantage ends. The corn dog was more of the American fair variety with a stale crust. My girl did not enjoy the gizzards at all. She had one. I don't mind the tough texture as much as she clearly did. I do think the gizzards would benefit from being pressure cooked in order to tenderize them more. But I did enjoy the flavor overall (even though they weren't very spicy.) The wings were less spicy than the Ridgefield CM, but much greasier. I'm glad we tried, but I think we will stick to old reliable from here on out. Go and give them a try and make your own decision. ENJOY!!!

    When I CM I Eat'em. CM Chicken offers a wide selection of items on menu that are not traditionally found on a korean bbq menu. Besides a very tasty menu of chicken toppings and flavors they also offer fries that are straight cut, waffled, curled or wedged. Onion rings, mozzarella sticks, calamari, gizzards & shrimps are also fried up for your order. My favorite is soy garlic but this round we got a family order of plain with cups of dipping flavors. We also ordered the cheesy wings thats are so flavorful they make your mouth water. The chicken wings are meaty, crispy and full of flavor. The Tikku chicken is also a favorite as it is fried and charcoal grilled. My next visit I am definitely trying the Snow Onion chicken wings.

    Chicken glorified! I came here with 2 friends and the owner greeted us right away and explained the menu. The perfectly crispy Tikku Garlic Soy (sweet and savory) Chicken Wings which were marinated, fried, then charcoal-grilled boasted classic flavors. Then we also enjoyed the Snow Onion Curry Chicken Wings which arrived with a huge pile of onions and curry sauce. Both of these dishes came with 8 big and filling wings and marinated daikon along with celery and carrot sticks with ranch sauce. Then the Red Hot (spicy but not the kind that kicks your ass) Gizzards were amazing and could be perfect as a snack. Besides these items, their menu's pretty vast with ricey chicken bowls, chicken burgers, and a whole bunch of fun sides. To drink, we tried Milki- a yummy South Korean dairy-based soda which worked really well with the food. Everything's just so clucking good! NOTES/TIPS: **Below Street level down some stairs. **Excellent service throughout. BYOB. **Order via yelp, ChowNow, DoorDash, Grubhub, Seamless, Postmates, and Uber Eats.

    I love korean fried chicken and this may be the most juicy and tender chicken I've ever had!! I had the soy garlic tikku wings and they were amazing. Me and my fiance can't wait to come by again and become regulars here! the place is downstairs, but they have a sign that's very easy to spot. there's a small outdoor dining spot that is cute. the indoor space is cute reminds me of like a taco place interior, but it is cute nonetheless! prices were a bit on the higher side, but it's worth it!! there was a 15% discount via Yelp, but we forgot to use it, but that would definitely help with sealing the deal to get these wings if pricing was a concern :)

    Soy Garlic Chicken Tenders.
    Emma G.

    This place has been getting a lot of buzz lately, which can cut both ways - it may very well be worth the hype, but it just as often means it's overrated to some degree. Thankfully CM Chicken is more of the former. I stopped by here for lunch yesterday (a Friday afternoon). The restaurant was completely deserted save a handful of employees, and the fellow behind the counter seemed mildly surprised that I wanted to eat in (I got the impression from the customers who came in during my visit that this is almost exclusively a takeout establishment during weekday lunchtimes). It's a nice basement space that you access from the street via a flight of stairs - constructive feedback, that was starting to look a little rickety and could use an upgrade. The two TVs on the wall were airing K-Pop music videos, so if you don't like eating with Dance Dance Revolution music playing in the background, this might not be for you. I don't like bones in my meat unless it's ribs, so I opted for the soy garlic chicken tenders ($15 or $16). Very generous portion; I was pretty hungry coming in so I was able to devour it in one sitting, but you could easily make this into two meals. The flavor was amazing, and the meat itself extremely juicy/tender. I'm always slightly leery of Korean BBQ because it's so easy to feel disgusting after eating it (that's a genre that's never going to be mistaken for health food), but I walked out feeling pleasantly full and not uncomfortable. My recommendation would be to avoid getting any type of side with this - I'm sure a few extra bites here would have tipped the scales literally and figuratively for me. The food came out within five or 10 minutes, and the service was exceptional - it definitely helps that nobody else was in there, but the guy behind the counter/waiter was attentive without being overbearing and got the check for me probably within 30 seconds of consuming my last bite. Doesn't get much better than that. I wasn't even halfway done with my meal before I reached out to a friend who lives nearby to alert them to this recommendation. Don't sleep on this place - it's not a hidden gem, but it is a gem nonetheless.

    A great addition to the Montclair community. On my visit, I had the traditional wings with the soy garlic cause on the side. I will say that the soy garlic is spicier than any other soy garlic that I've had in the past. So if you don't like spice at all get it on the side. I am happy that I got the sauce on the side because it really allowed me to taste how flavorful, well seasoned and well friend the chicken itself was. Perfect amount of batter and seasoning. I can't wait to go back and try other options! Only request is for a sauce that is not spicy. It is also not handicap accessible. (Not their fault, just a result of the location)

    Make sure to visit! Support your local fried chicken place !

    This place has the right idea of where they wanted to open. There's good amount of pop culture designs and style on your way to the restaurant and inside too. It's a good korean chicken spot for the area. We left so full and we brought leftovers home. And there's a soda yogurt drink that I tried for the first time and I so enjoyed it. Our server was attentive and welcoming. I'm glad he explained he dishes to us. FYI, You'd have to look for street parking.

    Horrible old chewy soggy chicken.
    Sean W.

    There were no patrons when I stoped by for lunch. I asked what was on the basic CM sandwich. I was told mayo, slaw and tomato. I also asked if the chicken was cooked to order, I was told yes. I ordered and when my meal was ready, it was brought out to my table. The fries were fresh & hot but not too much flavor, they needed salt, none on table. The sandwich was served on a huge bun, you could not see the chicken. I took a bite and almost barfed. It was chewy and rubbery, tasted precooked and microwaved. I took bun off to find this tiny old chicken that was probably cooked the day before and reheated. There was also cheese! I wasn't told there would be cheese, I hate cheese on a chicken sandwich! What a disappointment! I can't believe these good reviews. Beware not fresh, precooked chicken! No crunch, soggy! See photo! This was not take away! I reached out to establishment with photos and they never bothered to respond, that says a lot! Worst lunch ever!

    1lb Seasoned Wings (~$15): Spicy Garlic flavor
    Aya E.

    Ordered: 1lb Seasoned Wings (~$15): Spicy Garlic flavor 1lb Tikku Wings (~$16): Soy Garlic flavor 1lb Snow Wings (~$16): Curry Snow Onion flavor Curly Fries (~$5) Diet Pepsi bottle (~$3) Aya's take: The chokehold that Korean fried chicken has me in is unexplainable. Super excited to try this place and stopped by with a couple of friends around 7:30pm on a Saturday. The weather wasn't great but I was surprised to see this place empty. They must get more take-out orders. Despite it not being busy, it took about 40 minutes to get our orders. That's longer than I've ever had to wait at any Korean fried chicken place. All 3 Wing orders were delicious in flavor. I really enjoyed the Tikku - Soy Garlic but the Curry Snow Onion flavor was impressive! The onions are cut extremely thin and are super cold, topped with the curry sauce. It complimented the hot and crispy fried chicken so well. The Curly Fries were pretty average and unfortunately, they brought them out long before our Wing orders came out. Aside from the service, you will not be disappointed with the fried chicken here! Hit the spot!

    I had Sucha great experience from the moment I walked in to the moment I left with my leftovers. The ambiance was low key but spacious. Great place for groups or sharing food with friends. I came a little early for lunch so I was seated immediately. Drink options add standard bottle beverages. No alcohol here. The menu was a bit overwhelming because there's a lot of options and it can be tough to navigate. The server was there to save the say and weigh in on his recommendations. Appetizers I did the gizzards, calamari, and fries. Everything was so good, I'm a huge fan of fried gizzards and they cooked em perfectly. Next - chicken and chicken burger. The chicken wings were so crispy and delicious. Big fan of Korean fried chicken, there's was so tasty. I did the regular soy garlic . For the sandwich I did spicy, it was so good!!! I love spicy chicken, cooked spot on. 5 stars all around! Would come back and definitely bringing a big group.

    Fried calamari and cheese sticks
    Bessie T.

    The overall experience of dining here was good. The staff are friendly and willing to answer any questions you may have. The food came out pretty quickly and it was hot, which is a plus! The sides were my favorite out of everything we tried. I highly recommend the fried calamari and fried shrimp; the fried dumplings and cheese sticks were good too! The chicken was decent in that the wings were cooked well and not dry at all. However, the taste and texture aren't very authentic compared to other Korean fried chicken (KFC) I've had. The batter was thick, making the chicken feel heavy/greasy, which shouldn't be the case with KFC especially when it's double fried properly. The experience was more like eating American fried chicken with Asian inspired sauces rather than KFC itself. We were also served carrots and celery with ranch instead of pickled radish, which are a must for KFC! The flavors we tried were soy green onion, garlic spicy, soy garlic tikku (this was the best one bc of the char flavor), and cheese monster. The seasoned, raw green onions definitely helped cut the grease!

    Stopped by Rooster's Nashville Hot Chicken in Montclair and it hit the spot. I got the slider and…read moreone tender combo. The chicken was really crispy on the outside and juicy inside, and the spice level had a solid kick without being overwhelming. The slider was the perfect size for a quick bite, and the tender was well seasoned and flavorful. Fries were good too and the portions felt fair for the price. Service was quick and the staff was friendly. Overall a solid spot if you're craving Nashville hot chicken in the area. I'd definitely come back.

    We went to Roosters Nashville Hot Chicken one weekday evening after going to a bluegrass folk show…read morefor the first time. We wanted some fried chicken and we were thinking of our Nashville days. As you can imagine, the chicken craving was real! Upon entering, they have one kiosk to order your food. I sort of liked this aspect so you can take your time. Not the best if you have any questions though. We ordered the tenders with fries and Large Loaded Fries Crispy fries. They come with creamy mac & cheese, topped with two tenders chopped into bite-sized pieces, and topped with their Rooster's Sauce. When I return, I would order the one order of the loaded fries. The ambiance is very order and go - bareburger meets Chick-fil-A. The staff behind the counter were hospitable and kind. They were even singing as they were listening to music. They seemed really happy. I love all cuisines and I suppose my review would just be that I felt like I had ordered halal food and not Nashville fried chicken. I felt like I was eating halal food and it was not street cart meat and felt comfortable to be eating inside in Montclair. If we weren't in Montclair, maybe this would change the whole vibe all together.

Cornbread falls into that cafeteria-style category for me. We went on a Friday night and the restaurant was completely empty. I ordered the three-piece fried chicken with potato salad and cabbage. My friend had the oxtail with yams and collard greens. The fried chicken was flavorful and tasty, though I could tell it wasn't freshly fried--barely warm and not crispy, again, cafeteria style. The potato salad was really good and probably the highlight of my meal. The cabbage, however, had more onions and peppers than cabbage, which wasn't great. The cornbread itself was delicious but barely warm. I imagine it's really good straight out of the oven, but that's not what we were served. My friend did enjoy the oxtail. The collard greens were sweet but still good, and the yams were pretty decent. We ordered a peach cobbler to go because it sounded good, but once I got home it was very disappointing. The dough was barely cooked, and I could still see flour. If I had eaten it at the restaurant, I definitely would've sent it back. Service was great. The staff was friendly, we ordered at the counter, and they brought the food to our table. The space is small but has just enough seating. We were lucky to find on-street parking since we went late on a Friday night. They accept cash and all major credit cards. One small note: there are no bottled hot sauces, just small no-name packets, which weren't the best. We also had the sweet tea, which had a strange flavor--possibly honey--but it wasn't what I expected and I was no where near impressed. If you're expecting southern sweet tea, that's not what they have here. Pricing felt a little high for what's offered. Two dinners, two iced teas, and a very small peach cobbler to go cost us almost $70! Overall, decent food and friendly service, but for the price, I expected more of that true home-cooked soul food experience.
