Sophia and I have not been here in a year but are no strangers to CM Chicken. For years, we've…read moreeither dined in or ordered takeout when they offered discounts. Right before we left for the Christmas trip home, we decided to stop by and catch up. Let's see how the visit went. There were hardly any people inside when we walked in which was perfectly fine with us. The staff as always greeted us before we got seated. And the vibe was very relaxed throughout. After a few minutes of looking over the order, we were ready. Mine consisted of honey chicken wings (10) and a side of curly fries. I had the honey chicken tenders previously and enjoyed my selection. So why not go with the flavor again?! The food itself was good. Never have I ever had a bad dish here so that streak is perfect. The wings were crunchy as always and the honey flavor wasn't too sweet for my palate. The curly fries, as always, were the perfect side. I actually saved half the food for dinner that evening where the taste wasn't that different. Thank you CM Chicken for delivering good eats. You know we'll be back for more soon :)

If you like korean fried chicken in general, you would definitely like this place. I really really…read morelike the hot spicy one, even though I thought it would burn the living inside of my mouth. In reality, it was about a 6/10 on spice. It built up a little bit, but they had a nice amount of sweetness along with the gochujang, and I really enjoyed the blend of flavors. If you like the spicy buldak ramen I'm sure you might like this too. We ordered a lot of the flavors, including curry, snow, garlic, soy, honey, garlic, lemon, and finally the hot spicy one they're all really good in their own respective ways and even the original chicken itself was really good. If you're afraid of spice, I think the garlic soy or the curry ones are your best bet. I really enjoyed both of them, but especially the garlic soy. The sauce was sweet, umami, and tangy and allowed the chicken to still be crispy underneath. Better than other restaurants like Bonchon. The lemon was really nice too. I love the scallions. They had a little bit of brightness to the dish. The lemon scallions were good mixed with the other flavors. The service was awesome. The lady, who I assume was the owner, was super nice to us along with the waiter. They gave us a lot of time to wait for a whole party to arrive and they gave us recommendations and made sure to advise us on the menu. We had one person in our party that had peanut allergies and she clarified that all the stuff they cook does have a little bit of peanut oil so if you are really allergic to peanuts, I would definitely avoid this place but apart from that you will definitely enjoy eating here. CM chicken is a franchise if you didn't know so if you like this spot and are not local to the area, I'm sure there might be a spot close by to you wherever you reside on the East Coast.

The service was great. The girl at the front took the time to explain how everything worked, and I think one of the chefs/owners came out and greeted us as well. We ordered a couple of chicken sandos that came out on nice brioche buns. The chicken has a great crispy texture and the sauces were flavorful.

I actually met one of the owners while shopping at Games Farmers Market in Newport News. She spoke so passionately about her restaurant being a soul food spot that I knew I had to try it. I went within the week, and they don't open until after 3 p.m. (I believe they stay open until 1 or 2 in the morning). They even have extra parking across the street, which is nice. I went in by myself, and they told me I could sit wherever I wanted. Since I was one of the first people in there that day, the bartender/waitress greeted me with so much kindness. She went over some of the specials, and I ended up ordering the Rasta Pasta along with a drink--a Pineapple Upside Down (tea or lemonade, I can't quite remember). Whatever it was, it was delicioso. That drink was a 10/10--I'd go back just for that! When the pasta came out, it was served with garlic toast, and I also ordered some macaroni and cheese. The pasta was flavorful, and honestly, I've been thinking about going back for it again. The mac and cheese wasn't my favorite, but to be fair, I prefer baked, homemade macaroni & cheese--so that's just me, but it was good. While I was there, I chatted with several of the owners and the cook, and everyone was so friendly and welcoming. I even learned one of the owners is a veteran. The restaurant has a sports bar vibe, with TVs everywhere, music playing, and a DJ--it's lively, clean, and has a great atmosphere. I really love the vibe, the people, and how comfortable they made me feel. I'll definitely be back. If you're looking for good food, good people, and a good atmosphere, I'd say give George's a try--you might end up loving it like I did.

Each bite had a nice mix of smoky and tangy. The buffalo wings came out hot with a crisp outer layer that held onto the sauce really well. The heat level was just right -- enough to notice, but still easy to enjoy without reaching for water every second. You could tell they were made fresh, not sitting around. What stood out was the consistency between both items. Nothing felt rushed or thrown together. The setup itself is simple, but the focus is clearly on getting the food right.

I kinda understand why, but then again, if you're gonna have a business like this) I kinda don't. Ribs and jalapeños smoked sausage were not available. I was told that for ribs, you should contact them 24 hours in advance. This was a deal-breaker almost, 'cause we really wanted to do the ribs, and there was no indication that some items might not be available. The food and appetizers came out at the same time, so our table was loaded, and we could not eat fast enough before it got cold. I shared my displeasure with my server, but she just gave me the "deer in the headlights." look. The drinks were weak and expensive. There are a few arcade games and plenty of space. Service is ok, but not great. The food was ok; some items were dry. The fries were hot, and nothing special about the service. Cool place to hang out, watch games, and drink beer, but it's just ok.

The chicken katsu curry was a little disappointing. Granted, my food was to-go (had to get to-go because I ordered at 9 and they close at 9:30) and I feel like the curry is a dine-in type of meal. But I feel like there was something missing in the dish, it was kind of mid. Having realized afterwards that this is a chain restaurant, I understood - but the big curry chain in Japan, Coco ichibanya is definitely beating this curry. Some pickled relish or additional seasoning would help this one.
