The portion size was actually quite good, and snow chicken was probably our favorite flavor. The mala fries were also tasty and crispy. I will say though, it was a big tough finishing everything as it was a bit oily.
Husband and I finally made it to CM Chicken and were so glad we did! As a Korean, I have high expectations for Korean Fried Chicken and CM Chicken definitely met them. We ordered a Mixed 16 pc, half original, half garlic spicy (which is their yangyeom). Both were insanely crispy with perfect texture, and very tender (even the strips)! I thought the portion of mu (pickled radish) could have been a bit more generous, but this was fine given the generous chicken portion. We're looking forward to returning and trying more of their menu!
Value is the name of the game. Portions are massive, amazing to share, and filling all at a low cost per person. Definitely far up the Ave but worth the walk, as burning those calories will justify the fried chicken! Public service announcement that the "drums" are more than bargained for. This option is for humongous drumsticks but the wings are your typical mix of drums and flats. Pictured is a comparison of the "drum" compared to the drumstick within "wings." Two drums will probably fill up the average person. Friendly service, one sweet staff who's welcoming and handling everything up front. Interior is pretty standard but it's definitely spacious between tables. Washroom awkwardly locks if the door is closed so that led to an annoying experience. A few individuals asked to use the restroom (as non customers) and ended up closing the door, so we thought someone was in there for quite some time. The realization probably hit around 15-20 minutes where other guests wanted to use the restroom and it was unlocked manually. We tried the garlic soy, hot honey, snow onion, and padak soy. I'd rank them in that order (first two interchangeable). I generally love snow onion variations at other chicken spots, but the sauce here mainly sits on top, so the chicken underneath is basically original fried chicken. As for the padak soy, it's definitely an acquired taste. The combo of soy-mustard with green onion creates a pretty distinct and strong flavor and the mustard-like after taste was overpowering. Overall the chicken was tender and juicy, but the batter was a bit thick. Texture was great, but would love to skip on some bites of pure fried batter (especially with the mustard after taste).
CM chicken brought "KFC" to U-district and my belly thanks them! Just looking at the photos makes my mouth drool all over again. The portions are huge, the flavors are bomb (soy garlic is always my favorite), and the apps are chef's kiss. I'm definitely bringing the girls here for our next dinner date! They cater to groups, but don't be shy...I order here for myself all the time! There's plenty of seating. Just bring your laptop, like I do. Service has always been pretty fast for me. The servers are super attentive and helpful. The only thing I'd change is to open for lunch! Sometimes a girl needs chicken at 11 am.
We've been here about 3 times, the food makes it worth it, the service and environment makes it eh. Overall glad this place opened since bonchon was closed. We've tried multiple flavors for the chicken, and all of them have been great! Hot Honey, Snow Onion, and Soy Garlic were great. You can skip the seasoning on the fries since the amount varies everytime. Drinks are canned. The restaurant itself is clean, but like many other restaurants on the ave, you get different service based on who you are. If you're not East Asian, other customers tend to stare at you. Service has also felt cold based on the server, and we noticed other parties, both larger and smaller, who arrived both before and significantly after us, receiving more attention and quicker service than us, even if they ordered more food. Overall the food is great so I'll push past that, but would be wonderful if all tables were treated equally.
The food taste great. I had the snow onion and the garlic spicy and was way over my expectation. They were crunchy, flavorful and most importantly a good balance of the temperature and the tenderness of the chicken The portion was large enough to feed 3 of us and I weigh over 200lbs and I couldnt finish the last piece. I would personally like to keep this place secret to not overcrowd the restaurant to keep it to myself but I would also like share the great food with everyone.
TL;DR Food was good but gave me horrible stomachache and cramps. Went here with some friends on a Sunday night. Ordered the sampler platter with 6 different flavors. We got mild garlic spice, curry, soy garlic, snow onion, cheese monster, and hot honey. Overall the food taste was 4/5. Flavorful wings with a good crunch. However, I could not sleep at night because the food gave me horrible stomachache with cramps... I thought maybe it was just a bad day for me but the next day I had some left overs again and again I could not sleep because of bad stomachaches and cramps. This lasted probably for 36 hours... This also happened to my other friends who tried it too. Sad to say I prob won't come back even though the chicken was so good...
I'm not saying this to hype this place up, but this is genuinely the best Korean fried chicken I've had in my life. It had the perfect crispiness, the perfect flavor profile, the perfect crunch. I'm literally mindblown by how good the food was. The tteokboki was also out of this world. I took one bite and said to my friend, "holy s*** this is the best tteokboki I've had". My Korean friends vouch for this place too so it's a must try spot!! The service was amazing as well. We literally said "next time we're back in udistrict, we can't go to any other restaurant because we have to go back to CM chicken again to try out the other flavors". That's how good this was

Finally made it out to @cmchickenseattle out on the Ave in the U-District!!! Wanted to check out this popular South Korean chicken spot since it opened. Glad I made it!! We got the CM big 3 sampler with Snow Onion Chicken (Crispy fried chicken piled high with fresh sliced onions and a signature sweet, creamy white sauce.), Garlic soy (well balanced blend ...upfront garlic notes followed by rich sweet soy sauce....prob my favorite!), & Garlic mild/yangnyeom (classic old Korean fried chicken sauce... but mild). The pieces of chicken were big and the meat was juicy with a crispy crunchy outside. It came with a side of Cheese monster fries ...hot, crispy french fries coated in a sweet, savory, and rich multi-cheese powder with their special cheese sauce. Im not usually a fan of powder cheese...this was different. So I enjoyed them. Of course it came with a side of "chicken radish". I love the crisp, cold radish that cuts through the savory, salty, or spicy coatings on the chicken. We also got a CM Rose Tteokbokki. Dense, pillowy, chewy, cylinder rice cakes that absorb the thick sauce perfectly. Signature red gochujang (spicy) sauce with heavy cream to create a rich, milder, and velvety smooth experience compared to the classic. Fish cakes to compliment the whole dish. It was ohhh so good! Had my first Milki...Korea's version of cream soda. It was smooth, creamy, and slightly tangy with a crisp, refreshing fizz. Happy there was a farmers market so we could get our steps on after that delicious meal. #SeattleEats #CMChicken #UniversityDistrict #SeattleKoreanFriedChicken #ChoongManChicken read more

The chicken here is massive and juicy! We ordered takout and got a variety of items to share. Between the 6 of us, we shared the big 6 combo and tteokkbokki. The chicken was all really well seasoned and the pieces were way bigger than standard korean fried chicken spots. We got the soy garlic, mala, curry, honey, and padak. My favorites were definitely the mala and curry - that curry sauce is SO addicting and good!! We also upgraded to the mala fries which got a little soggy for takeout but the flavor was great, especially dipped into the curry sauce. -1 star bc the tteokkbokki tasted weirdly watery and also super cheesy which threw me off a lot... and we also ordered the tteok fries but they gave us another pack of mala fries instead :( read more
An amazing place to get Korean fried chicken around University of Washington, the service here is so friendly, huge portion sizes with great pricing. Everything was so flavorful and juicy. Overall, I highly recommend, and I would come back! read more

I had the pleasure of dining at this new restaurant with a couple friends and the experience was incredible. We tried a few of the recommended flavors; the OG, snow, and spicy garlic and were FLOORED! The batter was light and crispy, the seasonings on point, the tenderness of the chicken was excellent. The staff were very kind and attentive, the ambiance was bright and inviting with excellent tunes in the background. I would definitely recommend you come and give this place a try for yourself! Will definitely be back soon. read more
