    Mozzarella sticks
    Haley F.

    Fantastic chicken! Super flavorful, crispy, and moist. We were so excited to eat it that I forgot to take a photo of them. We got the spicy garlic and boy was it spicy! Not overwhelmingly so though but packed full of flavor. We also got the mozzarella sticks and they were great as well! The only reason it doesn't earn a full 5 stars is because the service wasn't very friendly and the floors were absurdly sticky for some reason. The food was worth it though so we'd still be back!

    Snow Onion and Original Curry
    Caitlin L.

    CM Chicken is a very strong contender to all of the other Korean fried chicken spots, but this restaurant may take the lead for me. The snow onion chicken has me reminiscing on the flavor as it literally has me drooling. I look forward to coming back again soon :)

    Delicious chicken with huge portions! Pro tip, tell them that you write Yelp reviews and they'll give you a free specialty drink! Each of us came starving, got either a half chicken or the tenders, and we all went home with takeout boxes. I read a number of reviews that said the chicken was mostly breading and very little meat, but we all felt that there was a good ratio of breading to lots of meat. I got the green onion tenders with soy garlic sauce. I have a terrible spice tolerance so I wanted something not spicy, but these still had a slight kick. It wasn't too bad (even for my weak taste!) but a kid with no spice tolerance would not want to eat it. I love green onion, but the way that they're sliced makes the onions a little hard to eat, so be prepared to feel slightly stupid trying to maneuver the long strands into your mouth. There's plenty of seating inside and it's all self service. They don't have complimentary water, so bring a water bottle or be prepared to purchase a drink.

    Lunch special still delicious and worthwhile -- I believe it's 11-2 Also a place you can work at with WIFI and outlets for 3 tables

    Green onion lemon wasabi w/ fries (top), garlic soy wings w/ fries (bottom)
    Thuy Anna L.

    I was recently here and had the garlic soy wings and my husband had half a chicken topped with green onions and lemon wasabi sauce. The batter was light and the garlic soy sauce on the wings was fantastic. I wasn't a huge fan of the lemon wasabi but my husband enjoyed it. I did not know this originally but for his order, only the green onions were tossed in sauce while the chicken underneath was served plain. Even though we dined in and ate the food right after it was served some parts of the soy garlic wings had already lost its crunchiness possibly from the steam and/or sauce. I didn't give a higher score even though I thought the garlic soy wings were pretty solid overall because towards the end of the meal there were 1-2 pieces of chicken that just tasted really off as though it was past due. I don't know if it was just me, but my husband's order seemed fine. Aside from that, the other pieces were great.

    Ordering wings is better than the whole chicken. Tikku Garlic Soy has a spiciness to it, good flavor. Original Honey Garlic wings has a slight sweetness to it, but not much of a garlic flavor. The wings came out fresh and crunchy. The spicy gizzards are a must! Be warned that it has heat to it! I would pass on the Cheese Monster Fries... the cheese powder on top tastes very artificial and I didn't like that the powder was on the sweeter side.

    I've been wanting to come here for a while now. I've got a couple of things to say about this place, lol. The chicken is delicious and very crispy, lol. I give them that. The only thing I didn't like was that I felt like there wasn't much chicken on the bone itself. Like I felt like I was eating a lot of flavorful skin. If that was different, I feel like it would put this place over the top. But I don't feel it's their just yet. I do like their sauces and flavor options, though. The honey garlic is delicious! The service here is good. If I were you, I would order ahead cause we ordered to go inside the restaurant. We waited about 15-20 minutes for it. That's seems to be the case if you order inside. Maybe I came at a busy time, but everyone else who ordered to-go was waiting a while. The vibe in here is chill. It's in a good location and close to cira Green. That's where we went to eat our chicken. Come check it out.

    Tikku wings
    Joshua K.

    Delicious fried chicken! I recently went here to get the tikku chicken to go. The ambiance is plain but plenty of seating. Given the spiciness of the wings, I wish the store had pitchers of water available for customers if needed. I got my chicken within the promised 15 minutes and absolutely loved it. The chicken was crispy, flavorful, sweet, and spicy-make sure to have plenty of napkins! Although a bit pricy at over $18 after tax, I got a good portion. CM Chicken also has the added advantage of being by Drexel's campus and a four-block walk to 30th St. Station (and the best-looking restaurant nearby if you need food).

    Best chicken in the city. I've done several reviews of this restaurant. They hit every..........time!!!!!!!!!!, haven't had a bad thing yet. Service is excellent, expect a little wait about 20 mins per order. They cook everything fresh so it's well worth the wait. If your in a rush, order online and it will be ready when you arrive. Portion size is well the time and money. My favorite sauce for the chicken is the curry and mild garlic.

    Inside! One of the best Korean chicken places in Philly!
    Chaiyeon L.

    CM chicken is one of my favorite Korean chicken spots in Philly. I highly recommend every one visit if they're in the area! Their vibe is casual and there are plenty of seats for small and bigger groups. It is not a full service restaurant, so you order up front and wait for your food so tips are encouraged but not required! The chicken is always made to order so the food is very fresh, hot, and crispy. For a very reasonable price you can get a bunch of food. I recommend their tikkudak and crispy gizzard! Make sure to order a side of the pickled radishes because it pairs perfectly with the chicken! Highly recommend this place! They also have good deals that they promote on their instagram so make sure to follow them @cmchicken_philly

    Tikku Garlic Soy Korean Fried Chicken - amazing even for take out
    Anna S.

    When I tell people I'm craving KFC, it's never the fast food chain we're familiar with - it's always Korean Fried Chicken. Highly addictive! I got a take out of the Tikku style garlic soy - these chicken wings/drumsticks are fried then baked in a charcoal oven for "extra crisp and crunch". I kept mumbling "wow" each time I take a bite into this amazing chicken. The one downside is the KFC does not come with side dishes of pickled daikon with is commonly a complimentary side dish. I ordered two separately. I would highly recommend since they are only $1 per cup. The pickled daikon really helps cleanse your palate and cuts the grease of the chicken. The fried chicken was amazing even as a takeout order!

    Tikku Red Hot Pepper
    Shifa A.

    I love a good Korean fried chicken! Add some sauce to it and I am in my happy place. CM chicken is a great addition to the Fried chicken culture in Philly . Portion size is pretty substantial as well! Make sure you have company. I was not a fan of the sandwich and the tikku red hot pepper is no joke ! So if you like spicy.... This one is right up your ally!

    I'll start by advocating that Village Whiskey lives up to its title of having the best burger in…read morePhilly. I visited for lunch during Restaurant Week, which I enjoyed because of its close proximity to the corporate hub in Center City where I work and for its solid menu. I was seated quickly at a high-top for my noon reservation. The restaurant is much larger inside than it looks, split in half with the left providing an upscale bar aesthetic while the right presents a quieter, modern lounge feel. (It seemed like service staff was directing those with previously-booked OpenTable RSVPs to the lounge side.) Service was great, as my waitress continuously checked in during my meal even as more customers arrived throughout the lunch period. I appreciated being offered to add fries on my burger order, as Village Whiskey didn't have it automatically added on the RW menu. The only drawback was she forgot to ask how I wanted my burger cooked, but it came out medium rare which is the way I eat it regardless. I trust that's how they default, which is a good sign. The Food Breakdown: Deviled Eggs (4/5) - Classic, solid, and a good starter. I honestly selected it since the other appetizer options didn't really appeal to me, but nothing spectacular or negative about it. Four comes with each order. All-American Burger (5/5) - Fantastic. I'm not a pickle enjoyer, but the acidity just blended into each juicy bite. The jam had a slight kick, and you can taste the fattiness within the double Wagyu smash patties. High-quality all around and a solid portion size. Duck Fat Fries (4/5) - They were well-seasoned, and each order comes with a small side of ketchup. Granted I didn't ask, but I almost wish they offered a spicy mayo instead because it would complement the crunchiness better. Overall, the food quality and taste were superb. My only caveat was the price, knowing that $35 after tax and gratuity for lunch (without an additional drink) is costly. I wouldn't be able to come everyday, but it certainly has my vote for sharing with others the destination that has an immaculate burger.

The wait staff informed me that there was NO ROOM for us in the EMPTY seating area, so we were seated next door in the bar area. If you can tell me why there was no room in an empty restaurant for a party who arrived ON TIME, please someone let me know. At any rate the bar area was fun and lively but a bit narrow to navigate. Since it was happy hour, we ordered all of the $6 Snacks and some $8 snack items. OOOK, here we go: Hot chicken slider( you only get 1 folks) very good and had the right amount of toppings 5/5 Pulled pork slider: Very flavorful, juicy, and tender: 5/5 Caesar salad: 5/5 Deviled eggs. Good, but too salty Fried pickles: Good, but too salty Chicken & Andouille Gumbo: This was excellent. The braised chicken thighs were seasoned well and very tender. The pickled red onions really elevated this dish. 5/5 The grilled salmon had a great char and crunch. It was not dry nor over cooked. 5/5 The burger was delicious just as a burger should be and the famous duck fat fries were very crunchy. 5/5 for both Happy hour is really the time to go, but make sure they honor your reservation. Til we eat again....

They told me if we were there in 30 minutes they could make it work, so we rushed over. We sat at the bar for drinks as they cleaned up a table. They overheard us talking about how The Trough would be nice (feeds 8 for $300, but was more than enough for us 9), and said if we wanted that they could get it started as the table was prepared. We said yes, and were sat a few minutes later with drinks in hand. Jenna (Gema? She had grape earrings) was a fantastic server and just so kind and attentive. She kept the drinks flowing and The Trough arrived sooner than I expected and was everything I wanted for dinner and more. I can't thank Butcher Bar enough for saving the night for my 40th and just providing a fantastic experience. We'll be back, and we promise to give more notice next time! :)
