Awesome tasting chicken. Owner is very friendly. I would recommend this place to friends and family. Keep up the great work. Now I know what "Kokoo" means in Korean.
Always on the prowl for good fried chicken and was suggested here by a friend. Overall, solid and would love to come back!Wings (Honey) - 4/5 would get again easily. It’s not like Mayo or heavy on honey like most honey flavoured KFC sauces it’s actually more like most places’ soy garlic but even a bit more savoury. Honey is there for sweetness and it worksTenders (garlic) - 1-2/5; The garlic was there and it was juicy but the breading was off like it was almost naked and just fried, not much flavour other than garlic and that it’s tenders with no fat doesn’t help all the above.Drumsticks (hot crispy) - 4/5 this was basically just standard fried chicken drumsticks. Juicy and crispy but not like KFC crispy is known for and lowkey don’t think there was any skin just batter and breading because it didn’t taste as fatty or pull apart as regular drumsticks.Sweet Potato Fries Korean style - 2/5? But easy to binge. It’s basically like those bags of chips that say they’re French fries but it’s just crunchy potato like regular chips and cut thin. The powdered sugar actually brings out the sweet potato flavour more since they’re cut to shreds and hard to taste the sweet potato without eating a handful at a time. This is more like a snack than a side. Would easily be a 4/5 for me if it weren't for the powdered sugar as after a while it became more like a glaze with wet fingers.Garlic and hot crispy basically were dry seasonings and not saucy or wet, with hot crispy being pretty much just regular naked/fried chicken? Just an FYI for anyone interested in these flavours.
I don’t usually post reviews, but for KOKIO CHICKEN I will. The customer service was amazing. 100/10 The food was amazing 100/10. Overall great experience. Would recommend if you’re ever in the area.
It used to be my go to place for Hite beer and pub fare pre-covid times. Recently looks like the management changed and also the menu. They don't carry Hite anymore. A Korean pub fare without Hite Beer, go figure???. They carry Newcastle, Sapporo, Bluemoon and Modelo on tap. The menu is standard Korean pubfare.. The rice cakes and sandwiches are good. Recently they started carrying Lucky brand Japanese beers. tried two of them. At $10 a piece for 12oz bottles ?, it is a rip off. The service is average and the TV's need upgrade. An ok place for a quick bite and a beer with friends.
Came in today from a long days work had a bad experience from the past but definitely this place has gotten a lot better than before. Met Sam & June today awesome people and awesome customer service and understanding individual; Sam really was understanding would definitely be coming back. Food is really good especially the original spicy chicken with a side of rice. Waffle fries are amazing would recommend for friends and family. If you haven't tried this place out its amazing service 10/10 food 10/10???
Kokos in Garden Grove is better. Everything was lacking flavor.
Good food overall, got the 20 piece wings. The garlic flavor was a little strong, their basic flavor was quite good. Combo comes with coleslaw and radish.
Really good chicken and friendly staff.
I sort of stumbled into this place accidentally and may it have been the best experience of accidental places to stumble into for some of THE BEST tasting Chicken Sandwiches and other delicacies. Kokio Chicken reminds me of la canción Coquio Castro by Chalino Sanchez...This place has earned a place in my heart. P.S I definitely did not drink beer on the clock... ?
I'd been eating here often and found out from my postmate order today that they used really really old oil for their late night orders and it taste like sht. The raddish came spoiled and I'm shocked today that Id been eating from here all along.
