CM Chicken is Korean fried chicken place right on Bethel Road next to Yogis. The place is easy and casual. You can order your chicken in drumsticks, tenders or wings. Chicken is always fresh and juicy. The sauces are different and more aligned to Korean cuisine so don't go in expecting buffalo sauce. They have several sides like onion rings, curly fried which are crispy and always well done. The service is quick and servers are friendly. read more

Visited 5/8/2026 and received very poor service and food. The checkout lady was nice, but the service was poor, and the waiter never spoke or checked in, although the other two parties, who were a different skin color than me, were checked on. I was not asked where it was, dine-in or take-out, so when I sat down, I was made to feel as though I did something wrong. I had to send my fries back once and received them even more overcooked the second time, so I asked for a refund. I never received an apology or any sort of explanation. When attempting to clean up, the server was very rude when looking for a trash can. Overall, one of the worst experiences I've encountered. I do not feel as though this place is friendly, and I will not be returning. read more

Went to CM Chicken for dinner. So glad that we decided to try it out! The restaurant was clean and the service was fantastic! We ordered the rose tteobokki, red hot pepper chicken wings, and garlic soy chicken wings. While the fried onions on top of the tteobokki isn't traditional, it tasted really good! Everything came out quickly and tasted amazing! This is definitely better than your average chicken wing chain. The portions were generous and we happily have leftovers for tomorrow! read more

This is probably my favorite KFC (Korean Fried Chicken) restaurant in Columbus. I had not been to this location before, and it is a little bit smaller than the one on Bethel Road. The service was fast and efficient, and our to-go order was ready sooner than promised. The chicken "travelled well", and was still hot and crispy when we had it at home 20 minutes later. We ordered the Garlic Soy drumsticks, the Garlic Spicy wings, and also the Honey Garlic tenders. The tenders were just ok, but the drumsticks and wings were both delicious. The spice levels were not overwhelming, so I may try a spicier sauce on my next visit. read more

WOAH! This exceeded my expectations in every way possible! I never order fried chicken but have been seeing such great things about CM Chicken. I ordered the Curry Chicken with Snow Onions and my husband got the Garlic Soy Chicken. Both were delicious! The creamy sauce and onions works so well! Portions were also huge! read more

CM Chicken - Korean Near Me - Westerville, Ohio

I'll start with saying the menu was a bit challenging to understand, very confusing. The dish I ordered required rice however they were out so I had to get onion rings instead. Our server, Jim was extremely attentive and had a corky personality. However, the owner herself stood at the counter the entire time with a extremely hateful look on our face. Even while walking past her to go into the restroom, she didn't even crack a smile or say hello. The decor is ferocious to say the least with fluorescent orange walls, a pink and lilac, tulip flower arrangement, red and pink, fuzzy candy shaped pillows, not to forget the floor was absolutely filthy, and when you walked across it, it felt like you were walking on fly paper as it was so sticky!!! I literally had to clean the bottoms of my shoes when I got home. Not sure how they passed health inspections with those conditions. The food was so so, nothing special, actually Cane's chicken is much better and half of the price. I was let down to see they didn't have any kind of dipping sauce only an overly sweet soy liquid dip. My entrée had a huge sloppy pile of onions on top, still don't understand that....it did not pair well with chicken. The calamari was just OK. It was loaded down with fried bell peppers and served with soy sauce. But, I will say my onion rings were delicious!!! The restaurant was extremely humid, and the booths were made of wood, no padding whatsoever, which was extremely uncomfortable as you had to sit straight up and down. Basically, they took a shortcut. I really don't recommend this restaurant, sorry I didn't want to like it. read more

CM Chicken - Curry chicken and spicy garlic - Korean Near Me - Westerville, Ohio

Hey wow, this place is great! You can dine in or take away. They have draft beer, Korean beers and soju! Great service. Even someone new to Korean fried chicken will enjoy. We ordered take out for a crowd which includes kids and adults. 2 orders of regular tenders, 1 order drum sticks in spicy, curly fries, udon soup and udon noodles with crispy onions. Also cheese monster sauce. Totally recovered. Great food and a great addition to Westerville! read more

Service was 5 star. Chicken was really nice. Onion rings were just a little soggy but not bad read more

CM Chicken - Honey garlic tenders - Korean Near Me - Westerville, Ohio

Service was fine and we got our food quickly. I was less than pleasantly surprised to find their garlic honey sauce was actually garlic honey mustard, but I chalked it up to a lesson learned. read more

My son talked me into trying this place. I was a little skeptical at first but figured we'd try it. Wow am I glad we did. We got the garlic spicy chicken tenders, calamari, and fish cakes. Calamari wasn't bad, not the best I've ever had but pretty good. Now if you don't like heat I wouldn't suggest the spicy garlic chicken because between that and the fish cakes are very spicy. I had to use napkins to wipe the sweat from my face. The chicken sauce was great, it starts with a nice sweetness followed by a nice punch of heat. I've never had fish cakes before but they were amazing. Overall very delicious . Service was great. Not sure if the gentleman was the owner or manager but great sense of humor, very friendly and very attentive. I had a great time and great chicken. I will definitely be visiting again! read more

I've been meaning to try Korean fried chicken for a while and I'm glad I tried this place first. They have a bunch of different flavor options, as well as different ways to be prepared as well as different chicken piece options. I've never had curry-flavored fried chicken and I think it was my favorite one. The online ordering methods should be illegal. All of the options, such as DoorDash, say a $0 service fee, but if you compare the prices with the store menu, each item is $2 more expensive. So if you get multiple things you are overpaying by a lot. If you order directly from the store, you also get hit with a service fee. The food is pretty expensive until you realize how big the portions are, so you might need to order less than you thought. Inside was clean and the staff was nice. I will probably order over the phone next time to save on service fees. read more

Tonight I decided to get the Korean Ramen and the Mandu, which is a version of their dumplings that are fried. If you look at my reviews, you can see how many of them are for Asian food lol. I have to admit I wasn't crazy about either one. I love dumplings, and when I saw they were fried, I thought it would be pan fried like other dumplings that say fried. These were deep, fried and crunchy however, and I didn't really like them that much. The Ramen itself is pretty plain. The broth seems like a spicy egg drop soup poured over noodles with a little bit of green onion. It definitely was not too spicy, and the broth was flavorful, but I was bored after a few bites. Customer service upon picking up the food was very friendly and quick. I am a bit upset that I didn't realize if you order online on their website, they still charge you a $2 service fee... For that I would have just called in had I known. This review itself is not the best representation of this place, since I have had better meals, and I would go back to try different things, but overall I was pretty disappointed. read more

I like this Korean chicken place better they have new side dishes, and the chicken is excellent

We had been to their other location in Columbus and really enjoyed the food. So we came here for some take out. The chicken is very crispy, sweet and tangy a really different flavor than regular fried chicken. Didn't take pictures this time but you can see pictures of their food in my review for their other location here in the city. If you get the "half whole" chicken you get 8 pieces, 4 dark and 4 white. We ordered the soy garlic chicken. Check it out. read more

We got a pickup order. It included the soy garlic gizzard, spicy garlic chicken drumsticks, and tikku curry drumsticks. Overall, the food was delicious and we would definitely come again and bring our friends here. Some more detailed comments on the food: Soy garlic gizzards: flavor was delicious and breading was crispy good, though there was more breading compared to meat than I would have liked, and the meat itself was a little tough. Drumsticks: the curry flavor of the curry drumsticks wasn't as strong as I would have liked; it tasted closer to a regular soy drumstick. The spicy garlic had a good amount of sauce and the spiciness was not overwhelming, but enough to have a good kick. I didnt have a garlicky flavor left in my mouth - take that as you will. The crispiness and flavoring was really excellent though, and the meat itself was juicy and tender and peeled off nicely from the bone. read more

Saw this last week, but didn't think it was open yet. Then I saw someone online said they went here. So, I came by when I could. Smaller than the west side location, and the service was different. This was full service, whereas it was basically just bring your food to your table at the other place. Friendly, efficient. The menu is about the same as the other one. Korean fried chicken, which is pretty uniformly awesome. They have the lunch specials here, basically tenders or wings. I got curry wings. Comes with fries or rice, and coleslaw. The coleslaw was very creamy and crispy. The rice was perfectly cooked and nicely plated. The chicken was awesome. Half a dozen big drums and wings, with the super crispy coating and a mild, delicious curry sauce. Decent prices for quantity and quality. There are several things on the menu I still want to try, and it is handy when I am running errands, so I will be back. read more

Amazing gem in Columbus! I am a massive Korean fried chicken fan and wanted to introduce my fiancé. There is one place where we live near STL but even that is a bit far from us so we haven't been yet. We were in town for a wedding though and I convinced him to stop... on the way home. So with me as the designated "feeder," we happily munched on spicy kimchi, rice, two kinds of fried chicken tenders, and fries. Everything was seriously phenomenal. We went all out and I have no regrets. It was messy in the car but they offer gloves which I took full advantage of. I also want to shout out the service as we did pickup but the server was very kind and friendly. My only regret is having to get tenders instead of half a fried chicken (fiancé's choice as it would be easier to eat while driving). Next time, however, we will. Do not pass this place up. Get the garlic soy chicken and their kimchi!! read more

CM Chicken - 2. Garlic Soy Chicken - Korean Near Me - Westerville, Ohio

This was my first time trying Korean fried chicken and I was blown away. The crunch!!! The flavor!! The chicken was amazing. We started with their snow salad. I had no idea what to expect. The dressing is very similar to a coleslaw dressing. I liked it though! We then got spicy garlic tenders. These were more like boneless wing size, but the portion was big. If this was on the shallow side of spice, I don't even want to know how spicy their really spicy menu items are. These had a kick. Lastly, we had drums of their soy garlic. These were my favorite. They had such a good crunch and flavor. The space is small, but fine. The KPop music playing is pretty loud though. The service is fast as there wasn't anyone else in there. read more

Chicken was really flavorful, service was super attentive and the ambiance was super laid back and chill. Will definitely be back to try all the different flavors :) read more

CM has an eclectic Korean themed atmosphere that is very pleasant. It's a little on the expensive side but the food is great. The lunch special is a great deal and a cheaper way to try the place out. Be cautious because when they say spicy they mean spicy! They do have milder options. I've been to the Henderson Road location as well and service is friendly and efficient at both. I highly recommend. read more

We have been here a few times. I love the snow chicken, which has a sauce that is similar to coleslaw (and normally, I am not a fan of coleslaw ) and then they top it with very thinly sliced white onions which between the way they fry their chicken and those toppings it it is so delicious‼ My husband really likes the spicy garlic chicken (and while I can eat it, it's a just a little too spicy for me ~med-hot). Their french fries are surprisingly good as well. read more

I came here for the fried chicken of course, but thankfully the waitress helped me figure out that if you have a nut allergy, you really shouldn't be having the chicken. So with that in mind I ended up getting the Tteobokki, which was totally fine and put some fuel back in the tank. But I wish they had more options (or veggies?) on the menu outside of the chicken for those of us who sadly can't have it! read more

CM Chicken - TTEOBOKKI - Korean Near Me - Westerville, Ohio

Delicious! Highly recommend the garlic snow chicken. Just know that when they tell you it is spicy they are not kidding. The Korean Ramen is also delicious- but again it is spicy. We were surprised to find out this location is a sit down restaurant, although it seemed like most of the business is carry out. Will definitely be back. read more

This place is the real deal, my daughter and I enjoyed the food very much. I ordered the Garlic Spicy wings and my daughter ordered the Garlic Soy wings. We enjoyed what we ordered very much. We will be back very soon. Please keep up the good work!! read more

The chicken here is mouthwatering delicious, it's juicy with a great crunch. We love the garlic soy and hot garlic. Service was fast and servers were informative. We got takeout but the inside of restaurant seemed nice as well. 10/10 will return! read more

Great chicken, great service, and the ambiance was good as well. Made me miss my time in Korea! Will be back many times over. I would take a picture of the chicken but it was too good to slow down from eating it! read more

Love Korean-style fried chicken and this version is pretty on point. The plain fried chicken has some heat on its own, so maybe not the best choice for kids who aren't comfortable with spice. read more

I had visited another location a while back and was so happy when I discovered the location in Westerville. I took my kids this time. They loved it! My kids are part Korean, so they were happy that we were able to get rice and kimchi with our dinner. We shared an order of chicken tenders. One order was plenty for us and we still had a few to take home. I'd say one order is approx 7-8 generously sized tenders (for $13.99, I believe ). They are breaded and fried crispy...you choose the sauce. We are going to try the bone in chicken next time. We got chicken tenders, rice, kimchi, onion rings and 3 drinks for around $40. We will definitely be going back! read more

OMG! Been trying to get here for a few weeks, made it yesterday. Had the lunch special, great deal! Mrs. H had the Soy Garlic, I had the Spicy Garlic wings were delicious and the sides were great, I had the fries and coleslaw, and she had the sticky rice. The decor is nice, very clean with a lot of tv's around showing cooking/recipe videos and K-Pop videos. Very anxious to get back and try more items on the menu. Food quality was excellent and flavors were amazing. See ya soon! read more

So happy there's a new CM Chicken location!! It's delicious every time. Garlic soy, snow onion, and curly fries. Love it!

Just get the snow! Huge portions and the snow!!! Service was good and the ambiance is a dive...did I mention the snow? Loved it!

Best Freaking wings ever!! Went here with a few friends and my boyfriend and oh man was it good. The waiter who served us was also a super polite kid and very helpful! The only thing I would say is if you can't handle deep heat very well I wouldn't get any spicy wings, go for the soy for first time. All in all though very good wings and some good leftovers! read more

OMG. New favorite chicken place! Had the spicy garlic chicken sandwich, fries, and their secret dipping sauce for the fries. Delicious! Give this place a chance! read more

This is the best fried chicken I've had in Columbus. Way better than Hot Chicken Takeover. The chicken meat comes off the bone so easily and the breading is so crispy. Everything tends to be on the spicy side though, so beware if you can't handle spicy food. read more

The food was amazing!!! Service was fast and attentive. The ambiance was perfect. Thank you for your service. I will be back soon.

I ordered drumsticks only, which were fine, extremely crunchy. They have a Popeye's heavily breaded similarity. 4 original drumsticks to go cost $13.99. I noticed they snuck in a $2.00 service fee onto my $11.99 order. I picked it up, I don't feel this fee is reasonable and will not be going back. read more

Ordered fried qizzards. They were tasteless and too hard to eat. Hurt inside of mouth. Would not visit again to try anything different.

Literally so unprofessional, the young Korean lady in the front is so disrespectful every time. literally wanted to make me turn around and walk out the door. Also, I came today at 7:20 just for them to tell me their kitchen is closed. DONT GO AND SAVE YOUR MONEY !!! read more

Was waiting for this spot to open and they did not disappoint! Got the garlic soy tikkudak chicken which includes a smokey flavor. Might be the best wings I've had in a long while. I will be back and I highly recommend. read more
