    Side of broccoli

    Went through the drive-through Monday evening, came home to open up and see that the broccoli was molded. I would like to receive a refund. Why even serve molded broccoli? Why not say you don't have fresh broccoli or at least give me a fresh batch then to serve me this. Immediately was trashed when I got home didn't feel like driving and going back such an inconvenience.

    Cockroach in my food

    I found a cockroach in my chicken bowl yesterday. Staff didn't seem surprised at all.

    Look at my piece of chicken.. ... breast meat missing where did it go?
    Connie A.

    Yesterday I went with my Dad and we bought the 12 piece mix, which means breast (white meat) well look at our surprise when our breast were missing meat from it!!! They take out a big piece of white meat, put it in salads and burritos and make double. This is unethical and bad businesses what you think we would not notice????

    No creo justo pagar 10 dl por una quesadilla rellena de lechuga 2 pedacitos de aguacate y solo como media cucharadita de pollo bien deshecho con queso ...abundante la lechuga...muy mala calidad en la comida

    I finally made the drive to Downey to try this chicken spot I have been eyeing for monthsssss!…read moreTheir parking lot is located in the back of the restaurant as street parking appears to be limited. They As we are a primarily chicken household, I brought my family with me to try their chicken plates and creative chicken plates. My first initial thought walking into Chicken Koop is that it has calm party vibe... the reason I say this is because through our whole time in the restaurant, they were playing a lot of my favorite songs. For a second, I thought my phone had connected to their speakers, lol! Pictured below is the Fried Chicken Sandwich and the 1/2 Roasted Chicken Plate. The Friend Chicken Sandwich was so juicy and flavorful; the breaded chicken patty had a perfect crunch to it. The 1/2 Roasted Chicken Plate was also another delicious and great choice. The chicken was cooked perfectly- again no dry chicken and it was juicy w a crunchy outer skin. The Brussels sprouts can out perfectly as well.

    We picked this place as a last-minute dinner option since none of us had tried it before, and we…read morethought it would be worth a shot. We ordered takeout and were pleasantly surprised they still accepted our order only 30 minutes before closing. I had the mushroom wrap because it seemed like a healthier option. The vegetables inside were cooked well and nicely seasoned, but the wrap itself was a little dry. It came with a salad, which was a nice addition. I'd still return for the wrap. The garlic fries were really good, and the nachos were nice and saucy. The rice that came with the dinner plate, however, was overcooked and mushy. Overall, a decent experience with a few standout items.

    Jeez, I can't believe I've been sleeping on this place for so long!!…read more CM Chicken is a solid Korean fried chicken spot along Western Ave. with a decent amount of parking. Upon walking in, you'll find a relatively open space with tons of seating. Jade did his thing with his customer service. Other than myself, he had 2 additional tables with other solo diners, and a large party occupying a long table in to watch the World Cup. After being seated, he gave a quick and thorough run through of the menu. He also put me onto the lunch special. For $12.99 you can get 5 juicy wings with a flavor of your choice, a roll, coleslaw, your choice of regular or waffle fries, and a soda. At face value, it doesn't sound like a lot of food - but the wings are a good size and the serving size for fries is mad generous. The chicken had a crunchy exterior and was super juicy & tender on the inside. I got the waffle fries cause Jade mentioned they crisp'd up better, which ended up being a spot on recommendation. I''m looking forward to my future visits so I can try the spicier flavors.

    CM Chicken never disappoints me. This is my go-to comfort Korean fried chicken spot. My favorite is…read moretheir wings with snow onion it's so good and always hits the spot.

This time I got their laseng chicken set, tnt chicken sando, and 8 piece wings with their mala gala, red disco, anchovy, and seaweed one which I was my fave last time. All the chicken here was amazingly crispity crunchity and paired well with their made in house sauces. The laseng chicken set came with soft steamed broccoli topped with like a mayoy drizzle, crunchy sweet pickled radish, sticky rice, and a fried chicken cutlet topped with like a spicy, jalapenoy, limey sauce. The tnt chicken sando had a soft chewy bun, crunchy briney pickles, was decently spicy and lowkey reminded me of buffalo sauce. The mala gala wings had peppery spicy flaves, the red disco was more like a sweet spicy sticky situation, and the anchovy one was really savory, salty with a light fishy essence but nothing offensive. Overall this place is still pretty good. Laseng chicken set $15.99 Double TNT chicken sando $15.99 8 pc wing $17.99
