I'm so angry! I just fought rush hour traffic to pick up this chicken - took me 30 minutes. I have ALWAYS had good experiences with this place and chicken delicious on point, but I tried the tikkudak. I should have known you can't fry AND bake chicken without drying it out. As a matter of fact, she says it drys out when I ordered it. WHAT THE HELL WAS I THINKING. $17.00 down the drain - I received disgusting, dry chicken nuggets that tasted burnt. Sooooooo dry!! I can't even believe they serve this crap. Now at Panera Bread picking up something to eat read more

CM Chicken - Korean Near Me - Pickerington, Ohio

You have to want chicken to go here! But, if you want wings, strips, and more with a Korean flare and many options and variations this was great. Located in a strip center with plenty of parking, the restaurant is open and spacious. A youthful, musical, upbeat theme that could accommodate any age. The restaurant wasn't busy, but our server was great and helpful. If we had a question or wish the table even had a button to push and she came at once. We had to try many options and had lots to bring home. But, almost certain to come again! read more

A bit on the pricey side, but when I'm craving a Korean chicken fix, it's totally worth the splurge. There's plenty of parking since it's in a shopping strip, and the staff is always super friendly and welcoming. I tried the Snow Sauce this time--definitely has a sweet, onion-forward flavor. Not really my thing since I'm not big on onions, but they actually let me sample it for free, which I really appreciated. If that flavor profile's your style, it's worth trying! Overall, it's a local favorite for a reason. I'll keep coming back. read more

First time here and I don't know what took me so long. Everyone was so friendly and attentive. I've had tenders before but the Asian style sauce, crispiness, and juicy meat took it over the top for me. I ordered cole slaw as a side and it was not what I expected. Best coleslaw I've ever had. It tasted Korean. Looking forward to trying the other flavors and bringing out of town family members here. read more

Yum!! What a HUGE, delicious plate of chicken!! It's been a few weeks already, but considering how LATE I am to the "scene" of Korean fried chicken, at least I'm still in the same decade!! LOTS of tempting choices, be sure to come HUNGRY!! Though I've cut waaaaay back on my meat eating recently, I'm not quite fully vegetarian (yet) precisely for culinary "experiences" like this that gnaw at my curiosity. Great variety here, both in the chicken seasonings and the side options. Spicy, but still incredibly flavorful. I went by myself, though it might have been better to go with a group, to be able to sample more of what they've got to offer. This is DEFINITELY a "check the menu in advance" kind of place... You'll want one of EVERYTHING!!" read more

Great chicken and very friendly staff! My son took me here for the first time and I was very impressed.

Similar to a DQ, I just stop here for a bubble drink with extra boba and maybe a chicken sandwich. Nothing to dress for, just a drop in place. If you do stop, sit and stay awhile. There's a lovely woman that works so hard to please and is so pleasant to talk to. She'll even go over the menu with you. The decor is fun. Like a Korean Steak 'n Shake. They have a few big screens but they all have Korean programming. I love their original chicken sandwich and the Korean fried chicken. The calamari is decent, too. It's convenient for me. A couple miles from our place, I can pull into the strip mall and have my choice of three eateries all next to each other. 06/24 read more

My girlfriend loves the seaweed rice balls! Sometimes I get them for her to go on my way home from work Korean corn dogs are amazing here! The chicken was some of the best I've had, loved the sticky sauce and everything was fresh! Crust was thick and crispy, glad this place is in town! read more

Very good stop on the way east from Cinci. Honey chicken was great! Ordered takeout there and staff were kind and helpful. Not a great exit for gas if using as a travel stop, but worth the stop to grab and go or sit and eat (many tvs and nice bar area). read more

The staff is friendly and attentive whether picking up or dining in. I've only really had the wings and tenders...both were fantastic and come in a variety of options. My son enjoys the garlic soy and I like the garlic spicy the best. The curry is also very good. The lunch specials are reasonably priced with good portions. read more

The food is really good but criminally expensive, and order of cheese monster chicken and fries costs as much as a lunch at Texas de Brazil

The food was good! Sauce options are sweet and spicy! The curry chicken was amazing! The wings are saucy but still very crispy. You have the option to choose tenders, wings, half, or whole chicken. With the wings, you get around 8-10. The only negative is the sides are a la carte but the portion of the fries, themselves, are big! No desserts offered but that's ok! The service is quick and our waitress was very friendly and explained the menu well. The restaurant itself is clean inside. We went on a Sunday afternoon and it wasn't too crowded. I would definitely recommend if you've never had Korean fried chicken before. read more

I've been to this place many times and it's one of my favorite spots. The food is fantastic, their chicken is always crispy and the red hot pepper chicken is addicting. The ambiance is nice, they're always playing Korean style food videos on the tv's and the walls are covered in pop culture posters. The Service is great here too. It is a bit pricey, but the amount and quality of food is well worth it. Overall, this place is a solid 10/10. read more

Food = outstanding Cost = expensive for what you get Service = D- Last night was our first time going. They weren't all that busy inside for a Saturday night. We were there around 7:30/8. They were busy for takeout orders. There was a constant flow of customers coming in to place & pickup takeout. Inside there were 2 parties of 4 & 2 parties of 2 including us. A party of 5 entered a little while after us. There was 1 waitress on duty & another employee working the front desk & helping where she could. We were told to sit at a booth & were given menus. Being our first time we needed a little while to look. Our server came over 4 times about 1 minute apart to ask if we were ready. On her last visit I simply had a question & she took that as me placing my order. I asked if it was possible to get the garlic soy chicken with snow sauce on the side. She answered me while writing it down. I told her we have more food to order before she walked away hoping she would understand not to put my food in. No such luck. Then she disappears for a while. She finally comes back & takes the rest of our order. She puts the order in & immediately comes out with my chicken & snow onion, drops it at our table & quickly walks away before we can say anything. Serving 101 is bring all the food at the same time. That was a major faux pas. The girl avoids us completely & it takes about 10 minutes to finally get the other woman's attention. We explain what happened & that we specifically told her there was more to order, that we weren't ready to order. We wanted all the food at the same time. We ask if she can take my wings to the back to at least keep them warm until all the food comes. Instead she kinda shrugs me off & goes to the back to grab our sides. Out comes our rice & fries. We ordered wedges but got fries. We didn't say anything & just took it. She looked at us & smiled & said enjoy your meal. Like no, we still have his wings we're waiting on. We tell her there's another set of wings we're missing. She says the Tikkudak wings take a little longer. That's fine but why is no one understanding how service flow works or paying attention to what anyone orders? What we have is getting cold while we wait for it all to arrive. The original server brings the wings a few minutes later. She does the same thing. Quickly drops them on the table & runs away. This time she put them on the far corner of the table where neither of us are sitting, instead of placing the food in front of the diner or even handing them to him. The service here is absolutely horrendous. The server was either up our butt or nowhere to be found/flat out ignoring us. At the end we asked for check & 2 boxes. She forgot. After a while she walked by our table & asked if we were ready for check. Yes...we already said so. Comes back with the check & no boxes. "Can we have boxes?"She responded "sure! 1 or 2?" like this was the first time we asked & like she couldn't see we needed 1 box per person. Some common sense is lacking here. It was all a little chaotic & scatterbrained when it didn't have to be. Most disappointing is there's no concept of service flow. The food was great! But my wings got cold while we waited on the rest of the food. Service flow is so simple & frankly common sense. Take the whole tables order at the same time, drop the ticket, & bring out all the food at the same time. The only thing that should come early are appetizers if they apply, unless otherwise requested. I get that they were busy so that offers some sympathy but they need serious work in that dept. My only other grievances are it's way too expensive & their sides suck. Fries, rice, & coleslaw. They can do better than that. Plenty of things go with wings. I'll be back for lunch since that's $10.99 with sides. But I'm ordering & asking for a box to go. Hopefully that's not too complicated. Much work to do. Great product alone won't keep a place open. read more

I love CM Chicken. My husband and I typically get the cheese monster and an order of rose ttekbokki with cheese. This was our first time at the Pickerington location and I was a bit disappointed that I got less ttekbokki than what I get at other locations and without sausage. I also wasn't able to order cheese with the rose option when ordering online. The chicken here was also a bit saltier and more 'American' (not sure how else to put it). Overall still very good chicken. Great amount of meat with the tenders. read more

I read about this place in 614 Magazine and was super curious to try it. I grew up in Hawaii and had Korean chicken a lot. The whole idea is very crispy chicken dipped in a delicious soy sauce + garlic sauce. We were on our way to Roosters but decided to stop in at CM Chicken instead. We are so happy we did! This location is in a little strip and right next to Graeters, which is perfect because you will likely want a cold creamy treat if you get the spicy or red hot! We definitely did. There is a lot of seating in this location and the place is very clean and bright. There are a lot of televisions with a variety of sports, K-Pop music videos, and cooking shows on. The server (maybe owner?) was very kind! He asked if we had been in before and when we told him it was our first time, he took the time to explain the menu items which was very helpful. We ended up ordering fried chicken tenders for my son, garlic soy wings for my husband, and spicy garlic wings for me. I got two sides of rice and my husband got a side of fries. The fries came out first like an appetizer. They were so crispy and flavorful! The chicken came out very quickly and it was piping hot! A side of pickled radish was brought out with the rice. I wonder if you can ask for more radish because it was so good! The server was so kind and brought us a side of the snow onion sauce for my son to dip his fried chicken in. It was SO good drizzled over my spicy garlic! It took the edge off the heat but gave the most cohesive flavor at the same time. Definitely ask for a side or order the snow onion dish. The piece count varies by the day. Today we got 9 wings each and about 7-8 tenders. The garlic soy chicken is somewhat spicy. My husband doesn't do spice very well and two wings in, his nose was running, but he kept going because the flavor and crunch was so good! The spicy garlic was much stickier and saucier so the plastic gloves on each table definitely come in handy! The sauce is definitely on the sweeter side and you can tell there's lots of sugar (and probably MSG) because it is thick and sticky. We will definitely be back! The employees were so kind, the pricing was comparable to other wing/chicken places, and the food was fabulous. read more

The chicken was very good and very crispy. I ordered the garlic spicy wings after asking how hot the red hot sauce was and being told a 9 on a scale of 1-10. 9 wings came in the wing order and I ordered in the restaurant and it took less than 10 mins to prepare my food. The wings are pretty small and I like that they are fried hard without being burnt. I will visit again. read more

Came in without any real idea what I was walking into. The girl at the register was so friendly and talkative in a really good way. She explained the menu to me and I ordered a chicken sandwich. Got it back to my hotel room and she wasn't wrong. She steered me right. It was delicious and crispy and flavorful. On what was a difficult day, this experience brightened it. Definitely recommend. ‍ read more

I have been to CM Chicken on Henderson before but I was even more thrilled to find out a CM chicken opened in Pickerington! Now I don't have to drive 30+ mins out whenever I have a craving for Korean fried chicken. Today I had their lunch wing combo, only $11.99. I also tried out their soy garlic gizzard! If you're not a fan of texture, I would not recommend but if you are, it's chewy and fun to eat as a side/snack. The owner and waitress were attentive and they're super friendly. The space is open and clean. They're not as busy compared to the one on Henderson yet so I highly recommend checking them out before they get super packed. read more

I just stopped in and tried the Hot Snow Onion chicken wings here, and they were absolutely delicious. In fact, they were some of the best wings I've had in Columbus in a minute. Their Gochujang sauce coating the crispy wings mixed with the creamy sweet white sauce that tops them is a great combo and replacement for something like ranch or blue cheese. You don't have to get toppings on the wings at all. The regular ones come with either a soy garlic, gochujang, or golden curry sauce, and you can choose whether to have them just fried or Tikkudak style where they fry them and then bake them for an extra crisp. That's most likely what I'll try next time. Overall though, the chicken itself was very moist and good quality. The restaurant is sit down or take out. It's not much to look at inside with televisions lining the walls. It seems more like it should be a fast casual place, but they provide service instead. I wouldn't be surprised if it moved to a fast casual style in the future. I'd highly recommend checking them out though either at the Pickerington or Henderson Road locations. They've definitely provided me reason for a repeat visit. read more

Well well well - haven't had a five star rating in a while and this placed earned it, hands down. This CM chicken location had their permanent opening this week and it's going to be very difficult not to come here a few times a week for this awesome chicken. I started with the lunch special for the spicy garlic drumsticks. These drumsticks were enormous and the crunchy exterior with the spicy garlic sauce was amazing. The fries that came with them were battered and extra crispy as well. They brought a plate of pickled radish to help with the heat and those were perfect as well. The wait staff was very friendly and they answered all of my questions about the food an location. My dining partner got the garlic soy chicken tenders and that flavor was spot on as well. Overall five stars and we will definitely be back to checkout the rest of the menu. read more

Great food! I'm so glad CM Chicken has come to the opposite side of town. Jin, the owner of this second location is family friends with the owner of their original restaurant on Henderson Road. Lighthearted guy, he gave us time to peruse the menu and answered our questions, gladly gave suggestions. It was a bit of a confusion with other customers when we first got there, and when we ordered with Jin, about 10 minutes later, he realized he forgot to enter our order into the system. He was so sorry for the confusion and delay and immediately offered our order of Tempura Shrimp on the house. We only had to wait about another 10-12 minutes, and he brought our to-go order out all packaged and ready for transport. I love that are sauces and snow onions are in separate containers for mixing on your own, so nothing gets soggy. My friend and I shared everything, with lots of leftovers: Snow Onion Chicken (drums), Garlic Soy (half chicken), curly fries, and the Shrimp Tempura. Great flavors and juicy chicken. I'm not a huge fan of breaded chicken, so this amount was maybe a smidge over my comfort zone. Nevertheless, loved the garlic soy marinade. The shrimp-on-a-stick was really tasty, too. Classic lightly seasoned curly fries were a good choice. We originally wanted to try the onion rings, but they were out of onions, so note to self for next time. The space is nice, clean, not too fancy. We sat at the bar while we waited and watched the Korean cooking show playing - some tasty looking street food, haha. I wish CM best of luck at list location. Jim is a great guy, and seems to have a great personality to fit into the food scene. read more

First time here and we were clueless. Our server was wonderful and explained a lot of the choices. We decided to get an order of Tikkudak soy drumsticks and original garlic soy drumsticks. We also ordered onion rings. This place isn't cheap but well worth the money. While we waited we had the pleasure of watching k-pop and Korean cooking show videos. This place is immaculate. A nice touch were the boxes of plastic gloves on every table. Never having Korean food before made me a little nervous. Oh so delicious. We were served 2 platters of humongous crispy and flavorful chicken drumsticks. I tried one of eat and absolutely loved them both. The Tikkudak had a slight kick with a touch of sticky - hence the gloves. The onion rings were battered and crispy. Each platter had 5 drumsticks so we had plenty of leftovers. Can't wait to go back. read more

Wanted to check this new place out as the menu looks delicious. Our waitress Pilar was very friendly and helpful. She explained the dishes we had questions on and allowed us to sample some sauces. We started with the shrimp tempera. It was excellent. It had a nice crispy breading with large pieces of shrimp. It was paired with a tasty dipping sauce. I ordered the snow onion chicken tenders.

I'm very upset right now. I order a DoorDash and I ordered the snow chicken my sauce was ice cold and it had some kind of brown chunks in it. Now I have DoorDash this in the past and I have never received my food like this. Then my boba was trash which is always but I thought I would try again and same outcome nasty. This to me is the worst location out of the others. I called them to tell them and the lady said it's always cold. I told her I have never received my sauce cold ever. I will not be back!!!! I will move to all my other platforms and let other know about this location read more

The food is good and they give you plenty most of the chicken comes with out side but they give you a lot . The service is good and they are really nice . The place is clean and it's good for kids .

Husband and I ate here for the first time and will be back ASAP. The crispiest, most flavorful chicken we've ever had! Seriously so crispy. Our server was so nice and friendly, and someone who might have been a manager was equally as friendly. We got the Garlic Spicy Chicken and the Curry Tikkudak (fried chicken). The Tikkudak I believe is supposed to be crispier, but could be wrong, and in our opinion it wasn't much crispier than the Garlic Spicy Chicken, so I think we'd skip the Tikkudak version to save the $2. (The Tikkudak is a little more but the other chicken is just as good!) The garlic comes through incredibly well and the Curry is not like Indian Curry at all. It's more of a savory, sweet (honey-like) and almost reminded me of Chinese five spice. Definitely not it exactly but kind of reminded me of it. I love saucier chicken wings, which the garlic Spicy are, but I'd get the Curry chicken again in a heartbeat!!! We also ordered Tikku Red Hot Pepper Gizzards and curly fries. The flavor of the sauce on the gizzards was so good, very spicy, but I couldn't do the chewy texture. My husband liked it a lot, but he's also a bit more adventurous and textures don't bother him. read more
