Choongman Chicken 798 Broad Avenue, Ridgefield, NJ 07657

"I start this review by saying I am a wing connoisseur, I've tried them all. With that said, these wings are pretty good. I live down the road so it's an easy pickup compared to making the walk or drive down to MaMa's. How do they compare? Different flavors for sure, wing size here is larger given the price difference between the two chains, breading is similar but slightly different. While you get more bang for the buck at MaMa's, support your local businesses and stop by because of their variety. My go to flavor is the red hot pepper, if you are not a hot ones enjoyer, be aware because it's actually spicy; significantly more than the spicy garlic. The kick reminds me of ghost pepper but I could be wrong. The spicy garlic was good but something about it keeps me from re-ordering it. For those wondering you can also get the sauce on the side if you want!"

"This is my new favorite Korean fried chicken spot. It’s rich in flavor and texture. The meat is more juicy than my previous go to (Boom Boom and Bon Chon) in the area. The staff is super welcoming and friendly. Very limited parking and seating, so it’s mostly a takeout spot. Highly recommend trying if you want the best Korean Fried chicken. My go to is the OG soy garlic and spicy wings. They also offer Korean corn dogs which seem to be really popular but I’ve yet to try them yet."

"The workers here are friendly and the food came out fast (less than 20 mins wait!) Tikkudak style chicken, which is fried first and then baked, is unique to CM/Choongman, so I highly recommend! Especially the the curry flavor, which is spicy, and sweet. I found their wings to be crispier than their tenders."

"My buddy and I went here this afternoon and I am so glad we did! This was my first time trying a Korean style fried chicken restaurant and I can’t believe I’ve been sleeping on this! The menu isn’t too overwhelming but there are plenty of things I would love to try. This time we ordered the garlic soy and the hot and spicy tenders. We opted for the Tikkudak variety which means that after the chicken is fried they put it in the oven and bake it for an extra crispy texture. The chicken was amazingly crispy and evenly coated in delicious sauce! My favorite was the garlic soy by far! The spicy chicken was hot but not absurdly spicy. I have a reasonably high tolerance for spice so if you are sensitive to it I would be careful! This was one of the few times I’ve had fried tenders when I didn’t feel the need to sink them in ranch. I’ll absolutely come back as I want to try some of the other flavors. The people that run the restaurant are also super friendly and welcoming! I love local restaurants like this! Highly recommended!"
