CM Chicken La Habra

Stopped by here on a whim and it turned out to be a really delicious meal! I ordered the Soy Garlic Wings, Original Wings, and Waffle Fries. Everything was very flavorful but not too salty. The breading was crispy and perfectly portioned. Not too thick but still providing a hearty crunch. The ambience is fast casual, and comfortable. Service was great.

After immigrating to the U.S., I finally found a fried chicken place that tastes just like Korean chicken — I’m so happy! I hope the restaurant continues to grow and succeed. It’s even better than BBQ or Pelicana, and I highly recommend it!

I went to check out this Korean fried chicken spot after work and it's quite solid. The chicken was cooked perfectly with an excellent crisp. The spicy garlic had some good heat and I didn't taste any of the potato starch batter which can be off-putting. The fried squid was solid, but I wouldn't get it again. Overall, not a bad spot if you're in the area.

I've been on a quest for the best Korean fried chicken, and this place absolutely nailed it. The chicken was incredibly crispy on the outside while staying juicy and tender inside—a true masterpiece. We ordered a half-and-half combo of the spicy yangnyeom and the soy garlic, and both were outstanding. The spicy sauce had a perfect balance of sweetness and heat, and the soy garlic was deeply savory without being too salty. ​The thin sliced onion with snow white sauce and the picked radish were also excellent, which were wonderfully crunchy and tangy—the perfect counterpoint to the rich chicken. ​The service was prompt and friendly, and the atmosphere was lively and fun. It's a great spot for a casual dinner with friends or family. ​If you're a fan of Korean food or just looking for some seriously good fried chicken, I can't recommend this place enough. I'm already planning my next visit

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️This chicken place is no joke! Their Snow Onion Chicken is out of this world—absolutely amazing and so unique. The onion pairs perfectly with the chicken, and the sauce is incredibly delicious. I ordered it with wings, and it was so good that I finished it all in one sitting! The fried squid was great too. Highly recommend trying both dishes. I'll definitely be coming back! 진짜 맛있어요 충만치킨.. 다음에 또 와서 먹고 싶어요!!

The fried chicken seems to have a fishy smell. Of course, it could be just one time, but I think the chicken may not be fresh. The seasoned chicken is a little spicy, but it is better than fried chicken.

Korean style fried chicken sandwiches and Snowy Onion are tasty. My sandwich hot for take away was crispy with lots of sweet cole slaw. Delicate balance of flavors. Next time the Snow Onion.

Curry snow onion chicken , hot honey chicken, Sweet potato fries all super crispy and delicious ! The owner was super friendly , great customer service ! Def coming back !

My boyfriend and I came here after a tournament in La Habra and ordered the sweet potato fries, mixed combo chicken with curry snow onion, and hot honey mixed chicken (names might be slightly off). SO good! I think the older gentleman taking our order was the owner and he was super kind. I paid for our meal and we jokingly had a conversation with him about how times have changed and guys don't always have to be the ones to pay for meals now. After we ordered, we went to sit outside and the owner came out and really wanted us to come inside so that he could serve us (they don't serve outdoors). The fries came out first with their ranch and their sweet potato fries are peerrfeeccttt. They were warm, some were crispy and soft on the inside, and some were crunchy. AND THE RANCH. Then the chicken came out. Perfectly fried, crispy, with some parts being just the batter so it was super crunchy. I've never tried the onions before but I've seen them in my beloved mukbang videos (lol) and was looking forward to it. Definitely did not disappoint, the onions went really well with both the chicken and curry sauce. The hot honey chicken was also crispy but coated well either the sauce. It had a great balance of sweet and spicy. Overall, I would definitely come back!! I will be thinking of this place . Sorry for the picture... we went to town before thinking of taking a photo.

Food came out within about or 15mins which is pretty fast. The chicken was very juicy and I thought it was a lot of food for what we paid compared to some other KFC places. I was able to share this with my girlfriend and had leftover for 2 more meals. I would come back if I was in the area. Staff was friendly but the seating is very limited.

The lady that was working there was rude she snatched the receipt from my hand and they got my order wrong and she said what do you want me to do about it I also heard her rude to a customer on the phone horrible service

Decided to visit because it was halfway between my friend and I. Saw the Yelp reviews and assumed it was good, but the food and overall experiencr was just okay. The lady at the register seemed not to want to be there and didn't really want to help us. When we ordered the food, it took a while to even get the food much less refreshments (water). We ordered the soy chicken boneless, and they messed up the order and gave us bone-in. When we called the lady over to let her know, she seemed annoyed with us. Additionally, when we received the correct order, the chicken wasn't the freshest and was a bit stringy. The flavors were good, but the quality was lacking.

Chicken is good!! We tried the Garlic Soy and the Hot Honey flavors. I have also tried the original. The chicken is crispy and yummy. The ddukbokki was good as well except it needs more ddukbokki and less fish cakes. And my favorite blast of flavor side: the pickled radishes! So good! Food presentation was awesome. We sat outside with our dog and they were so nice and took great care of us out there. I recommend this place.

The owner is very nice, before taking our order he was making sure we don't have any nuts allergies. The fried chicken is so good,our family loves it! We are very satisfied with our order. And for sure we're coming back

I've gotten takeout here so many times - I've tried many Korean fried chicken places and this one takes the cake. It's always crispy and tender and the garlic soy sauce is perfect with a bit of heat. Get the wing lunch special on weekdays it comes with 5 wings French fries coleslaw and a small bread thing.

Original chicken wings 10 pcs $17.99 - delish Spicy gizzards $13.99 - delish+ Spicy rice cake $12.99 - a little on the sweet side Everything was delish and take out order was quick! They said 15mins but maybe it took 20mins. Not bad for a friday night. Glad I know of a place close by yet not in BP where the mass kfc spots are.

Another Korean fried chicken experience for me, it never gets old. CM Chicken is definitely a hidden spot that likely only regulars of the Palm Court shopping center would know about. Dined in on a weekday, no foot traffic and rather quiet around. The restaurant is small but very clean, some space for indoor and outdoor eating. The menu offers similar to other KFC places. There is a "deal" monday-wednesday where you can order their 10 wing plate and get the second half off. We went that route, going with their original and garlic spicy mild. Got a side of the red hot pepper sauce to dip and try too.. Unfortunately you can only pick one flavor for the plate of 10, but asking for the sauce on the side gives an opportunity to try more. Overall I was pleased with chicken. Good quality, excellent taste. Original might seem basic, but so far it's been the best of all the originals I have had.. The man working the counter was super helpful, let us test a couple other sauce flavors to help make up our minds. Food was prepared fresh, no BS heat trays here. Priced with todays inflation in mind. A solid family owned business.

First time trying this place and it was really good! My Korean mom loved the Garlic Soy chicken will definitely come back and try other flavors

Curry snow onion chicken , hot honey chicken, Sweet potato fries all super crispy and delicious ! The owner was super friendly , great customer service ! Def coming back !

Ordered a whole snow onion chicken to-go. Was hyped by others about this place so was excited to try the snow onion. For me though, I did not really like the sauce and onion on top of my chicken and the flavor itself too was not my type. Maybe I should try some of their other flavors next time.

I'd never tried Korean fried chicken wings so when my date suggested it I jumped at the chance to experience it. Unfortunately they were out of garlic so the sauces I really wanted to try weren't available. We ordered an order of wings and a half chicken fried along with onion rings and waffle fries. The onion rings and fries were delivered, followed by the half chicken, but the wings didn't come out. I went back to the register to ask about them after the 2 groups that had arrived and ordered after us received their food. The girl running the register took what seemed to be a personal call on her cellphone and talked for several minutes before she hung up and acknowledged me. I asked about the wings and she went back to our order and told me that we never ordered wings? So I asked to order them then. She rang me up for wings and promised to have them rushed. We received the wings about 15 minutes later which was faster than the half chicken which took more like 20 minutes. I should be clear, the times are estimated. The food was good and everything coming to the table was very hot. Unfortunately the cashier ignoring me for several minutes and the missed order of wings was disappointing. Hence 3 stars for the rating.

We were in the area and decided to try out this place. We ordered the original crispy chicken and the onion chicken wings. It was deliciously crispy and flavored well. The owner has been in business there for 3 years. It's super clean. Their dining area has chairs with cushion. Very comfortable atmosphere. We will be back.

The chicken here is so consistently good. Presentation is 10/10, looks exactly like the photos. They're also generous with their complementary radish banchan too, unlike other chicken places. (Looking at you b.b.q.) Garlic soy tikkudak is sweet and smokey. Curry chicken has a light curry powder flavor. Owner is super nice and there's in snow onion for free for us to try. It's a creamy onion dip, very flavorful. The onions also add a nice crunch.

Was craving spicy chicken wings and decided to give this place a try. Got the smaller order of spicy garlic and absolutely loved it! Mildly spicy (imo) left a nice low intensity burn. Nice crisp and delicious sweet sticky meaty wing parts left me completely satisfied and wanting more. Came with the ubiquitous pickled daikon cubes which were perfectly tangy. They have a deal posted on their door for buy one order wings and get a second half off too. Customer service is very good. They patiently explained all the options and answered all our questions prior to our ordering. Highly recommended!

Always delicious, always hot, crispy and on point! Lady visit the fries were a LITTLE old.

Korean fried chicken is the best! Original has a slight kick and the garlic spicy is very flavorful. Chicken comes with a delicious sweet radish and cabbage salad to balance the flavors. Waffle fries were fried to perfection. Friendly service, for to go orders too. Small place, but big in flavor, right next to Michael's. Highly recommend!

Got the snow onion half chicken. Chicken was fried perfectly and onion was delicious as well. I dropped my chopstick and owner came by right away with another one. Customer service is top notch!

Really good Korean chicken wings! It's a small shop with at least 4 tables that can accommodate 4 moderate sized people per table. Ordering is at the counter, but I took my order to go. Got a side of onion rings and sweet potato fries. The onion rings were nicely breaded and crunchy and the sweet potatoe fries were sadly soggy. But overall great chicken wings. Will come again!

The picture below shows two pieces of chicken that was actually counted in my eight for $20! Steer clear this place

This place is such an amazing Korean chicken place. It's a 30min drive for me but I'd go through it any day. The gizzards are super juicy and BIG. Normal places, the gizzards are super small and shriveled up. But the spicy gizzards were super delicious. We were served immediately at 2PM on a Wednesday. They checked up on us to make sure everything was okay and were super nice! I absolutely love this place and would come back more if the drive wasn't 30mins

Maybe I had a bad batch but the chicken wasn't as juicy as I thought compared to other Korean fried chicken I had. Also the snow onion sauce I was not a fan of. Their fries were mid and I felt like I didn't get my moneys worth. Overall okay experience.

I've had my fair share of Korean fried chicken, and I have to say this is my favorite place! It's pricey, but worth it. We got the red pepper tikkudak wings and the snow chicken wings. The tikkudak wings had a strong smokey flavor from the charcoal oven. I love how the sauce is baked into the chicken and doesn't have a huge pool of sauce at the bottom. I thought the snow chicken was so unique since it is topped with onions that had a watery mayo coating. The raw onions paired deliciously with the chicken, but I would make sure to eat it before the skin gets soggy or else it isn't as good! Both of the orders were so juicy and flavorful. The meal was $46 after tax and tip, which is on the higher end for fried chicken. But we left satisfied and had leftovers for the next day! Parking is easy since it's a huge shared lot. Service was friendly. Would definitely recommend this place for your kfc cravings!

The place is very cozy with minimal seating. Their menu, however, is crazy good. I had a feast. Chicken was so crispy and juicy. The radish daikon was fresh and delightful. Original Fried Chicken 8.5/10: could use a little more seasoning or salt, but loved the crispness, very fresh and juicy. Spicy Garlic Soy 8.5/10: It was very good, but the longer I kept eating, it kept getting sweeter. HOWEVER, because I got the original with it, everything was balanced. AWESOME FOOD!!!

This chicken place is no joke! Their Snow Onion Chicken is out of this world--absolutely amazing and so unique. The onion pairs perfectly with the chicken, and the sauce is incredibly delicious. I ordered it with wings, and it was so good that I finished it all in one sitting! The fried squid was great too. Highly recommend trying both dishes. I'll definitely be coming back! 충만 치킨 진짜 맛있어요! 시카고에서 처음 먹어보고 캘리와서도 먹어봤는데 역시나 맛있더라고요~

I was craving korean fried chicken last weekend, and decided to give this place a try. We ordered the soy garlic half chicken, curly fries, an order of chicken strips with the red hot pepper and garlic spicy sauces on the side. The chicken looked a lot crispier in pictures, but unfortunately, nothing was crispy. When I get korean fried chicken, I look forward most to the crunch, and everything was just missing that. The soy garlic flavor was really good. The spicy sauces that we ordered live up to the name, and they truly truly are spicy. Unfortunately, the chicken tenders were a little plain. I ordered the original flavor, so that I could dip in the sauces, but I still wished the original had more seasoning/flavor. I wished I liked the restaurant more, but unfortunately when fried chicken isn't crispy, it loses major points...

Genuinely some of the best Korean fried chicken I've had- best fried chicken i've had Ever actually! It's an "about what you'd expect price" for Korean fried chicken spot.. BUT ITS SO WORTH IT. Huge portions, amazing taste : like wow how do you have this great sauce and still keep the skin Sooo crunchy,, And Soooo tender inside!!!! There's a few tables to sit and eat, I usually get takeout though!! Service is always so amazing and excellent every time. The owner , I presume , is more than willing to explain every single flavor and item on the menu!! Definitely a hidden gem in La Habra!

Tasty, tasty! Little cozy spot with good service. Got both the tenders and the wings. We tried the garlic soy, garlic spicy, and the curry flavors. Would recommend all 3 of the flavors. Will be coming back!

Small little Korean Fried Chicken spot in La Habra (right by Michael's). Only about 4 tables available to dine-in but it really wasn't crowded at all when we came on a Friday evening at 6:30pm. We were the only party dining in but did see quite a few take out orders being processed. Whole Soy Garlic Chicken ($24.99): I was quite surprised with the portion of the chicken when it arrived! Definitely enough to fill two people up plus if you dine in, each table also receives a cabbage salad in addition to the pickled radish. The flavors become overwhelming after a while due to the sweetness but the radish definitely helps! Initially asked if we could order a whole chicken and do half & half sauces which we were told yes but once the cashier was inputting the information he entered it as two half chickens which turned out to be more? I was a bit confused so we opted to just go with one flavor. I did hear another customer ask about her $2 upcharge to which the cashier replied it was to split the sauces FYI. Turned off a bit by the smell while dining in. There was a lingering scent of restroom/wet towels around the dining area while we were waiting for our food but fortunately the smell of our chicken helped mask the scent when the food arrived!

Yummy fried chicken. I love to come here. I recommend the original crispy but the other flavors are good as well. Crispy and flaky on the outside and juicy on the inside. The white radish was fresh and refrigerated.

One of my fave places to get KFC (Korean fried chicken). My review is for takeout since I always order to go. I've ordered from here a few times now and am never disappointed. The person who takes my order is always nice and polite. All the flavors here are really good. Super flavorful! The wings are always airy and crispy and doesn't taste oily. Our go to flavors are the red pepper (which is spicy!), soy garlic, and snow. Snow tastes like peanuts which I thought was odd in wings but once you taste it, it's pretty good. The sweetness of the sauce topped with the raw onions is something I've never tasted. The wings are pricey so I ordered often when they had the BOGO 50% off second order. It was so worth it!

Went first time with a coworker and got the spicy wing and fries lunch special. Flavor was kicken, fries were perfect , service was A1. Came back again ordered those wings plus their onion top wings ... delish

Is there such a delicious chicken? It is just a hole in the wall but the food is good. This is definitely one of the nicest place I h ave had. It is worth paying a visit and i definitely su ggest!

The food is super good, we have been here 3 times and usually my partner and I share the tenders cause it's allot for one person. We ate the tenders with garlic soy and it's super good Definitely recommend coming here!

So delighted to have found this place. The reviews were accurate. The friend chicken is very tasty. The service is very friendly and helpful. They even gave me extra radishes for a large order. I've never eaten at the location but the parking is plentiful, the service is quick for freshly cooked chicken. Warning: you will not be able to eat a piece of chicken if it was just packed to go. If you are a spicy eater, you can handle the spicy chicken. It's too hot for me but the taste is great. Highly recommend.

Better than other chicken places. Really good amount of food for the price! Staffs are very friendly as well. I really enjoyed snow onion chicken here. Highly recommend this place!

Best korean chicken I have ever had. I usually go to kyochon or BBQ chicken. After trying CM chicken now I only go to CM chicken. The sauce is so flavorful and the meat is very tender. They offer the best marinated korean chicken in town.

I saw pictures of their Snow Onion chicken and I knew I had to give it a try - especially since it's a fairly popular dish in Korea. I ordered a whole Snow Onion chicken and a fried calamari to share with my friends. Ordering was prompt and easy over the phone and the girl working the counter was really sweet. I asked for a side of yangnyum (sweet & spicy sauce) and she stated that they give a small side for free and if you wanted more, you would have to pay extra. Chicken is really crispy and juicy! Big pieces and omg the snow onion sauce is so tangy and delicious! It compliments the chicken really well and I love how thinly sliced the onion pieces are so I can pile it on top of the yummy chicken. The calamari was just okay - maybe their other sides are better? I feel like their chicken is definitely the star of the show. I want to try their Tikku Chicken next time, it's something I've never tried before and it looks really interesting! I'll be back for their good quality chicken and nice customer service.

I got spicy ricecake and tempura Love to come visit here Service and customer care are good Also all of their foods are boom Hope they have their own beer

The food here is amazing love the chicken and the sides are just as good, lady at the front is so nice so glad they replaced the old place because the old man that was there before was so rude.

we came to order chicken since someone said this place had great chicken so we called and ordered ahead and picked it up. It was 40 minute drive in total and when we got home they didn't give what we asked for. we got whole chicken instead of chicken wings and we called and we just informed them that we got the order wrong. however, the girl that answered continued to blame us and said we said whole chicken and started gaslighting us. we werent expecting anything else from an apology and we just wanted to inform them. this girl that sounded in her 20s just kept cutting us off and blaming us and talked with a tone of no respect. my whole family was also in the car and we understand people can make mistakes but seriously just telling us that we were wrong and talking back was totally unacceptable. The chicken wasn't even worth the 40 minute drive. i hope you guys talk to the person who answer the call and tell her that customers should be treated with respect for a mistake that the employee made.

Korean fried chicken spot new on the market in the OC! Got an email from Yelp since I search for fried chicken often and as I drilled down wee early in the morning, it made me want to try it more and more even though I have plenty of food at home to keep me fed. Well, I couldn't help myself and got it today! Placed an online order as described on their Yelp at https://cmchickenonline.com. Current promotion right now, buy 1 order of chicken (Whole chicken, wings, tender, or drum stick) and get 2nd order for $1.00. My Order 1 - Wing Garlic Soy Tikkudak($15.99) 1 - Wing Soy Garlic Spring Onion($1.00) Each order comes with 10 wings (drums/wings mix) Each order comes with 1 order of pickled radish First time trying Tikkudak, I am not a fan. It is deep fried then cooked in a Tikku oven, some kind of charcoal oven. It has a charcoal smell to it and also somewhat like fire grilled squid scent as well. You can smell and taste the charcoal as you eat it. It is extra crunchy cooked this way. My other order was just regular Korean fried wings. I can tell the Tikku is extra crunchy. You can hear the crunch sound as you bite into it (after re-toasting of course). Though my order was freshly made, I still needed to toast it in the airfryer reheat it to crisp. I am confused about the difference between "Garlic Soy" and "Soy Garlic"? Please explain. Why the difference in naming? Aren't they the same thing? They sure taste the same minus the Tikku having the charcoal touch to it. I feel cheated as I chose them thinking they would have different flavor but nope, taste the same sweet ish soy sauce flavor. Although, the Tikku one has a very slight kick to it. So I would return only for the gizzards once they put that on the menu for ordering. I asked during pick up about these gizzards but they are working on it. I asked the question on their Yelp but no answer yet. The guy (who might be the owner/manager) asked if I was the one who asked the question, yes, that was me!! He said they are working on getting gizzards and hope to get it on the menu soon. Also, if they can tell me which flavor is the most savory, then I'll be open to try another chicken order. Korean fried chicken usually has some touch of sweetness to their flavors. I like savory...tell me which is the most savory, and I will be back! Oh they advertised free soda $2.00 or less on them for online orders! I was not offered that free soda when I came to pick up and I had left before asking about it. I really could have used that soda to wash down the chicken! This place looks like a chain in Korea. Noticed the name on the box the chicken came in. CM Chicken = Choong Man Chicken. Plenty of parking but the retail plaza they are in is really jammed packed so parking is a bit of a pain to find. They take cash and credit card payments. They wear masks for Covid-19 measures. The shop is small and designed for stop in pickups. That's all I remember. I know everyone who has reviewed this place LOVES IT. I guess I haven't fallen for it just yet. Bring me those gizzards, then we'll talk!

I've seen this place every time I stop by Michael's. I was hungry enough on this trip that I decided to try it out. It did not disappoint! The chicken was well flavored and the coleslaw was delicious! I got the garlic soy tikkudak wings. I ordered to go which resulted in a 15min drive home so the crispness of the chicken had subsided. Didn't matter because the flavor held up. Would definitely eat there next time. The isn't a lot of seating inside. It seems like most people order take out. Service was nice enough too.

Walked in and ordered the lunch special - spicy garlic chicken. The chicken was prepared fresh, so it took about 20 minutes. The staff was kind, and considerate, letting me know about the wait time and checking in with me occasionally. The restaurant was clean with a minimalist design. Take out was packaged well, chicken with just the right spicy sauce, perfect temperature and crispy delicious. Support this family owned neighborhood business!

They have the best wings, spicy garlic is my go to. I get the onion sauce on the side and the mixture of the spicy garlic with the onion sauce is great. Not greasy at all, I've been wanting to try their other food items but for now sticking to what I like. Service is great, friendly good people. Definitely recommend it

Ordered to-go and I figured it would be ok since I live very close by. Boy was I right! I was able to open my to-go box 8 minutes after they packed it, and the chicken wings were super hot and fresh from the fryer. The coating was super crispy and had a kick to it that was amazing! I ordered the soy garlic sauce on the side, and it had great flavor. Fries ordered on the side were also very crispy and tasty. Very happy I found a new chicken spot to go to in the area, highly recommend!

What a surprise! With so many well known Korean chicken places nearby, didn't think twice of eating here. The soy garlic was not as good as BBQ's but their regular fried chicken was top top!

The food was so fresh and delicious! We got the spicy garlic whole chicken- so flavorful, juicy and crispy!! We got fries and coleslaw as a side - the fries were perfect and coleslaw was refreshing. We will definitely be back to try other flavors of chicken !! I highly recommend you try this gem!!!
