The chicken is always great here. Just can't coming in to late. But love coming here after a long flight. They have many different flavors to choose from. And open late.
Worth every penny. Incredibly good portions for the cost and good service.

This is the best Korean Fried Chicken that I have tasted in the area. Super Crunchy with lots of flavor. I tried the Garlic Soy Half Chicken and it was really good.We also tried the Sweet Potato Fries which was a very large portion and were surprised how big it was since they didn't have different portion sizes.The restaurant has a night club kind of feel. Very Trendy. Really well done.Service is excellent and servers are very nice.

CM Chicken in Gardena stands out as my favorite Korean fried chicken spot, and it's time I shared my thoughts on this place. Having frequented the establishment numerous times, my go-to choices are the Garlic Soy Chicken and the Snow Onion Chicken.For someone with who likes pickled and spicy flavors, CM Chicken hits the spot. The chicken has a crunch and is bursting with flavor. The Snow Onion Chicken, crowned with savory onions, adds an extra layer of deliciousness, especially when paired with the accompanying pickled radish. The interplay of textures and tastes makes it soooo good.While I've ventured into trying the curry flavor, which is commendable, my heart (and taste buds) firmly belong to the Snow Onion Chicken and Garlic Chicken. The addition of the cabbage and dressing wasn't exactly my cup of tea, but I indulge a bit to sneak in some veggies into my meal.A pro tip for fellow food enthusiasts - go for the 1/2 chicken. This way, you get to savor the different meat sections, from the succulent wing to the flavorful thigh and breast. Eating around the bone is a personal preference, and I particularly enjoy the variety in each bite. In my group, my friend happily takes care of the drums, which, while not my favorite, adds to the communal dining experience.The ambiance at CM Chicken is relaxed, with a casual bar feel. While it may not be the reason I keep coming back (that's reserved for the incredible food), the spacious setting is ideal for large gatherings. Even during my evening visits on both weekdays and weekends, the place never seemed overly packed, creating a comfortable atmosphere for enjoying a satisfying meal.Whether you're a solo diner or planning a gathering with friends, this spot in Gardena is sure to leave you craving more, and I also had leftovers to eat the next day. I highly recommend!

Tried the chicken tenders and wings and the latter is definitely the better choice. The tenders are just ok but the wings are stellar good. Really succulent, crunchy and lots of flavor. The cheesy corn is really stellar also.
CM chicken is always a banger. You cannot go wrong with any chicken wing flavor. First one is spicy garlic and the second was tikkudak The vibe at this spot is so great, they televise sports and bump K-pop. They open super late so if you're finishing up at a concert or hanging with friends CM chicken is the spot. 10/10 staff is always busting their ass and they are super nice. Sometimes you have to wait for them to fry the chicken but that's what makes it so delicious. Can't miss them waffle fries either. Honestly would love to explore more of the menu but I'm just addicted to those wings. They are also next to one of my favorite Vietnamese owned sugar cane shops

I really loved this place. Let's first start with the ambiance. It had a bunch of big screen TVs so it felt like a sports bar. Very inviting. They start you off with pickled daikon while you wait. I loved this. The hubby was not a fan.I ordered the snow onion chicken. Hubby ordered the garlic soy chicken. The sauce and onions didn't add as much taste as I hoped they would. I preferred the garlic soy sauce. The crispiness of both was outstanding! I also ordered the cole slaw. Adding the garlic soy sauce gave it a much needed flavor boost. The corn cheese... Corn and cheese... Need I say more? I could eat it all day. lolThey're kind of pricey, but I'll definitely go back and try other menu items because the portion sizes are generous.

Their fried gizzard dish was amazing, and also try the fried chicken (onion snow). Good selection of drinks.Large parking lot. Not too crowded at Saturday 5pm-ish.

was craving Korean fried chicken 2 month ago, and yelp found me this place in Gardena. I remember, this place used to be called other names before. I had the lunch special which you get a choice of wings or chicken tenders and you get to choose what flavors. there areany flavors you can choose from. I got the flavor what the waitress recommended. The lunch special is good from M-fri from 11-3pm. you get 5 chicken, fries, side of slaw and a soft drink. I ended up ordering 1 bottle of soju. they also serve wine and beers. it's a cool spot to hang out with friends late at night because they do close late.
