    We heard this place was very good and needed to get the kids something to tide them over until dinner so we decided to stop in. My daughter ordered the mozzarella stick with potato and absolutely loved it. It was so generous and it was crispy and delicious. We plan to come back soon to order the tikkaduk in several flavors. The menu had so many things on it we want to try. Be aware you do need to take it to go because there are just two stool seats at the window. No tables.

    Did not know this place existed and decided to get take out to try. So my husband wanted to give a four-star but I really wanted to give it a three-star because I didn't enjoy it, unfortunately. I always love soy garlic Korean fried chicken because I'm not good at eating spicy foods. But BEWARE. Despite it being soy garlic, it is VERY spicy. They must have put pepper into their batter. because my mouth was on fire. My husband enjoyed the spice quite a bit, but when I order soy garlic I don't expect it to be spicy at all. So I was quite disappointed. My nose could not stop running from how spicy it was. My husband also really enjoyed the tiki chicken. Also very spicy, baked boneless white meat chicken strips. He really enjoyed the flavor of this place. But overall, I don't think I will personally be coming back. I'm sure this would be great for those who actually enjoy the spice! Also, side note, uber eats allows a choice for a combo of drumsticks and wings but they called us saying they can't do a combo only one or the other.

    I noticed Ssong & CM Chicken are actually the same place from what it looks like so I'll leave my review here too: My youngest sister found this place via TikTok and being the best older sister ever, I decided to take her here to try some Korean Corn Dogs (and we ended up getting lost TWICE). This restaurant is located in a mini plaza which I was thankful for because I was afraid there would be street parking, but it's private parking. I was able to drive right in and park. When we arrived, we saw two people eating in their car and two girls sitting outside of the restaurant. People just kept coming and going. They are clearly running a good business (thanks to TikTok). We ordered the 5 Mozzarella Cheese sticks, 1 Mozz Spicy Sausage Hotdog, 1 Potato Mozz Stick, 1 Premium Sausage Hotdog, Curly Fries, and three different types of chicken (Garlic Soy - drumsticks, Red Hot Pepper- tenders, and the regular Fried Chicken- wings) and two drinks. You guys, this place DELIVERED! I have tried corn dogs before. Regular corn dogs. Hated them. But these Korean Corn Dogs. Insane. Very flavorful, fills you up quickly. Very well seasoned, and may I add that the wonderful lady at the front taking our order was an absolute gem. Super sweet. Great customer service. I wish they had one of these closer to us, but it's definitely worth the drive. Just make sure you pay attention if you're coming from the suburbs of NY (Rockland), you'll end up on the bridge twice. Oh, and don't listen to any music on the way there... I'm sure that's why I missed my turn. Maybe TikTok trends aren't so bad after all. 10/10 would visit again!

    Well we were just here yesterday for the potato mozzarella stick and today we came back for the tikkudak. We got garlic soy tikkudak, curry tikkaduk and popcorn shrimp. The tikkaduks were soooo good! We got them with tenders. They are fried but then baked so not only are they crisp from frying but then they sauce and bake them so they are browned and crispy with the sauce cooked in. The result is a tender piece of meat, smoky notes, and delicious soy ginger or curry flavor but not overwhelming. I will say they all have some heat to them even though they aren't called spicy so I would avoid choosing spicy unless you like really hot. If you just like kick the regular sauces will satisfy you. The popcorn shrimp was crispy and tastes fine not bad but nothing to write home about. Maybe if we didn't have the amazing tikkudak next to it to compare it to, we'd gush more about them. Come here for the chicken. Not those orher things.

    My son found this place a while back and we decided to order takeout from here on my visit. The place shares a store with Ssong's Hotdog and we also ordered from there as well (separate review). There is a small seating area, but takeout is their primary business model. We called ahead and the lady was quite nice on the phone, as well as in person. We ordered the Garlic Soy Tikkudak, boneless. Simply put, this is fried chicken pieces that, I believe, is both oven and fryer made, creating an extremely crispy outside while the chicken remains moist. The garlic soy aroma as well as the flavor made for a delicious treat. There are other options to choose from, but my son (who can take heat) said their hottest offering is truly hot, so be prepared if you decide on that one. I'll ask to go back to try other combinations if my son agrees, which I know he'll do since he's been multiple times.

    First time ordering from CM chicken in Ridgefield. So far my frequent visits for chicken were 1) Yam Yam, 2) Don chicken, 3) BBQ.. Very excited to try the new place among sooooo many chicken places in Bergen County areas, especially Fort Lee and Palisades Park. We always go for the simple fried chicken in the beginning to be able to properly taste the brine & crispiness. CM's fried whole chicken ($19.99) - $21.30 after tax - was very crunchy and moist !!! I was impressed by how even the chicken breast bits were moist. As a promotion for the recent grand opening, they offered either french fries or Cole slaw. We opted for french fries but regretted later since fries were neither seasoned nor crunchy. (Go for cole slaw !!!!!) The only point we were a bit dissatisfied was that the chicken was salty - "for us" ... just a personal preference. It would be a great combination with beer ... Others have highly recommended Snow Onion chicken and we will definitely try others on the menu.

    FYI: This is a purely takeout restaurant! The chicken is amazing!!! I'm obsessed with the snow onion chicken. Next time, I'm definitely getting the extra snow onion sauce and onions! It is definitely worth paying the extra few bucks for the tikkudak (baked chicken). The way they bake the chicken truly makes it so delicious!! Pro tip: (There is a small bar table top with 2 seats, but with ample parking. Do not expect to be able to eat here!)

    Tikkudak is back to being perfect again! Asked for extra crispy and soy garlic tenders were perfect! Corn dog was great as usual! Thank YOU for listening!

    There's no storage of Korean fried chicken places in the NY/NJ metro area and this is my new favorite. They have a variety of flavors and styles. The OG Soy garlic and spicy wings are my go to but their tikkudak is really growing on me. It's fried chicken they then baked in a charcoal grill. It has a nice crunch and that smoky flavor. The staff is very welcoming and friendly. They have a few seats if you want to dine in and a small bench out doors. Parking is very limited. The shop also sells Korean corn dogs that looks tasty. I've yet to try them but will be back soon to get some.

    3. Garlic Spicy Chicken
    Nicole H.

    This was gooood. I'm not from the area. I saw this place while at a red light. I thought to give it a try and I'm glad I did! I got the garlic spicy wings. It was delish!! It was made to order, hot, crispy and soooo good. The spice wasn't too bad for me. I like spice. This was balanced (for me) and not overly spicy. I will eat here again, when in town.

    4. Red Hot Pepper Chicken
    Alessandra D.

    Last week we were trying to go to another popular chicken spot but the wings were sold out and we ended up at CM chicken. We tried the Spicy Sausage Corn Dog, Soy garlic and Red Pepper Chicken wings. This is one the best chicken wings I've had in my life thus far. The wings were cooked fresh, served piping hot. They were meaty, crunchy not overly breaded and flavorful. Absolutely delicious!! The Red Pepper Chicken wings were actually spicy as advertised which was perfect for me because I LOVE spicy food. The Spicy Sausage Corn Dog was also amazing! We topped it with sugar and their spicy mayo as recommended. It was crunchy, savory and sweet. My bf and I have been to all the top Korean fried chicken spots around the area and this has to be our favorite!! It's worth the money. We loved it so much, even craved it during the week that we had to return today! We ordered the same goodies and it was as good as last week! Don't forget to order the Korean sodas as well!! Go give them a try, it is totally worth it!

    tiny wings..
    Eunice Y.

    We ordered onion snow wings and soy garlic wings via seamless = ~$40 (including tips and delivery fee). Each order had about 10 wings, but the wings were very tiny. They weren't that crispy, but flavorful. You get 15% off when you pick up. I still like Dons chicken better, but good to try new flavors (snow onion) for once

    Garlic spicy tenders
    Michael N.

    This location is small but the location is nice. They have parking here but very limited seating. If you eat with only 2 or 3 people, there js enough space. However any parties more than that and it would not be able to accommodate. The display of the food here super smart and honestly, made it super easy to see what youll be having. They have a good ammount of choices to pick. The corndogs are insanely crispy and the cheese was super melted and stringy. The perfect combination together and the chicken was fried very well and lightly and the chicken was very moist. The flavors werent overpowering and left you wanting more. The pricing was average and the server knew all abt the menu and answered any questions i had. This location provided tenders option which I rarely ever see at any korean fried chicken chains and it was a great option. Overall this location was delicious and curbed my craving for korean fried chicken! I am definitely visiting this location again for more corndogs.

That gave us enough time to have the place to ourselves and order literally everything they could think to serve us. This was easily one of the best KBBQ experiences I've had. The meat cuts were all perfectly marinated and grilled, from the Dry-Aged Pork Belly, to the tender Pork Jowl, to the juicy Marinated Pork Ribs. The Budae Jjigae was savory comfort, and the Shin Ramen Fried Rice was not only abundant, but served in an adorable heart shape. Even the Kimchi Stew and Gyeran-jjim were more umami than the countless counterparts I've had elsewhere. On top of that, we got more ban chan than an attention-starved halmoni hosting her first family reunion in 10 years. Everywhere I pointed my chopsticks, I touched food. It was delightful. If I can ever gather enough people, I'd gladly infest this place again.

Came on a weekday night and there weren't many people in the store. - Deluxe Gomtang - I think the difference between the normal gomtang and the deluxe version is that they give a bit more meat and rice. I really liked the gomtang as the flavors were really rich especially when elevated by the pepper. - Seolleongtang - Clear and beautiful broth that went really well with salt. I felt like the meat was not as tender as I hoped but still made me think of my favorite Korean restaurant where I grew up. - Kong-guksu - I didn't know what to expect of this dish as I've never heard of it or tried it before but I didn't really like the dish. No matter how much salt/pepper I put in, there still didn't seem to be a lot of flavor. I ended up dumping the Korean Pickled Onion banchan in which helped elevate the flavor a lot. - Mini KimchiJeon - When I read this off the menu, I though the kimchi pancake would be extremely small but it turned out to be quite bit and very delicious. It was super crispy on the outside with soft insides stuffed with kimchi. I will definitely be back to this home-y restaurant!

For dipping, you get a choice of garlic scallion sauce, soybean paste (ssamjang), or just salt -- all solid options depending on what you're grilling. Service was attentive and quick to help with the grill and refills without being intrusive. The restaurant has a big dedicated parking lot, which made getting in and out so much easier.

Inside is small but clean and gives off traditional Korean restaurant vibe with of course Korean music. There were quite few Korean customers as well as staffs so i knew we were in the right place. They specialize in Korean beef soup. We ordered rice cake and dumplings and special beef rib soup. The fish came with purple rice and various kimchi and pickled veggies side dishes. They also serve korean hot tea along side the dishes. My special beef rib soup was very light and clear but full of beef flavor. Little touch with salt and pepper with pickled veggies and rice paired with very well. The meats were very tender and flavorful as well. Portion is quite large and i was not able to finish my bowl although i did help with another bowl of rice from my partner. My partner got the rice cake and dumplings beef soup. This one was a but lighter and needed more salt flavoring but also good. She liked her's better as she doesn't like heavier and fattier meat/broth. Salt and peppers are provided to adjust your seasoning as needed. Even though they could not finish the dishes i throughly enjoyed the food. What i like about Korean dishes is that even some are heavy and fatty they include lots of vegetables and healthy ingredients which makes it feel like you had a healthy meal and lots of nutrients despite eating out. Service was minimal but adequate. Overall it was very good authentic Korean restaurant that offers solid Korean beef soup. If you want to try authentic Korean beef soup and you are in the area this is the place.
