The Gardena branch of CM Chicken – a crispy, deep-fried chicken chain with about 50 branches across America, and many more in South Korea – sits in a Gardena mall that's a wonder of ethnic diversity. There's a Cajun crayfish house, an Asian tea lounge, a taco and ceviche restaurant, a Japanese noodle place, a Hawaiian fast foodery, a juice shop and more. And, on the southern edge, is CM Chicken, which stands apart from dozens of Korean chicken destinations in SoCal. This isn't only a place to grab some bird crunchier than anything the Colonel ever imagined … it's also a sports bar.
