“When we went to this place, they were about to close but still took us in. The service was amazing, everyone was friendly and the food was soooooo good. We ordered the bulgogi and Japchae etc. And the Japchae was chef’s kiss. The bulgogi was served raw so you can put it on a stove and when it came out…IT WAS SO GOOD. I have no complain and I DEFINITELY will be coming back!“

“Had a great experience at CM Chicken! The service was outstanding. The menu has SO MANY options, which could be overwhelming, but the staff was super helpful and patient while we figured it all out. I went with the chicken sandwich, which was fresh, juicy, and exactly what I was hoping for. My wife got the cheese curds, and they were clearly hand-breaded with an amazing cheese pull (always the test, right? LOL). A little on the pricier side, but honestly worth it for the quality and experience. We’ll definitely be back!“

Environment is also nice, you can tell they spent some $$$ on certain chairs, lighting, fixtures so the place looked nice.“

“I stopped by Corndogs by Mr. Cow at Gurnee Mills Mall and it completely exceeded my expectations. The corn dogs are made fresh to order, super crispy on the outside, and perfectly gooey on the inside. The balance of sweet and savory is spot on—it honestly reminded me of the street food I had in Korea.

What really made the experience even better was the staff. They were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and efficient, even when there was a bit of a line. You can tell they care about what they’re serving and about the customers, which makes a big difference.

It’s a great change from the typical mall food, and definitely something unique. If you’ve never tried Korean-style corn dogs, this is the place to do it. I’ll definitely be coming back next time I’m at Gurnee Mills.“

“Great food, fun atmosphere with games, and very nice people. We had a random craving for a Korean corn dog so we found this place on Google. Ordered two corn dogs (hot Cheetos and sweet potato), beef bulgogi, and the chicken sandwich with sweet and spicy sauce. Everything was delicious! Tip: get a beef corn dog filling. I ordered the sweet potato with cheese filling and it was good but it would have been better with the actual dog. Will come here again!“

“I had dinner here on 4/25/26 because it'd been warm recently and I was craving mul naeng myeon. I was surprised to find it almost empty. I was seated right away and offered hot tea and water. The place is cozy, like a family restaurant instead of a chain. They had K-Pop music videos playing lightly in the background and on a large TV screen, which was a fun touch. I ordered and was served immediately with 5 different banchan options. My order took a reasonable time to prepare, given the required components.

It was plated beautifully, in a simple and traditional bowl with plenty of slushy frozen broth (not just ice cubes). Lots of freshly toasted sesame seeds. The waitress offered to snip the buckwheat noodles with clean scissors, which I happily accepted. I sipped the icy broth first, and it was freaking delicious. Exactly the flavor and cooling umami freshness I needed!

The egg was perfectly jammy, the apple/pear was sweet, and the radish was just crunchy enough to create some contrast of textures. There were 2 perfect slices of brisket. I've seen reviews complaining about the lack of meat, but IMHO this was just the right amount to balance the many layers of flavors. Some dishes are meant to showcase a variety of carefully prepared ingredients, each playing its role. I slurped through more than half of my bowl before I remembered to add more vinegar and mustard to punch up the rest. The banchan was tasty and not overly salted. I lifted the bowl with both hands to drink the rest - no need to waste the tangy broth!

The owner came over to introduce herself personally, remarking how happy I looked after my meal. I thanked her profusely for the wonderful food and excellent service. We had a delightful conversation and I felt truly welcomed into their restaurant! ♡♡♡“

“First, the food is DELICIOUS! They have a lot more flavors of chicken available than some other K.F.C. restaurants. The tteokbokki offers more flavors & add in’s as well. You can tell the company really cares about their food quality and customer satisfaction-eg they have steam vents built into the containers and the keep your to-go order propped slightly open until you pick up your order all so that your chicken remains crispy, rather than getting soggy waiting in a closed container! The staff are always very polite & conscientious. LOVE THIS PLACE!“

“The kimchi fried rice is absolutely incredible, easily the star of the menu and packed with flavor. If you enjoy spicy food, it's a must try! The veggie dumplings were also delicious, and the wings were very good, especially depending on the flavor you choose.

A couple things to keep in mind: the parking lot can be a bit challenging, and there is very limited seating inside, with only a couple of tables available, so it's primarily a takeout spot. That said, the food more than makes up for it. The kimchi fried rice alone is worth the visit, and I highly recommend giving it a try!“
