This meal was an absolute feast. Before we even ordered, our…read moreserver brought out waters and a bowl of cabbage salad for the table. It's a small gesture, but it immediately made us feel welcomed. We decided to go with one of the combo meals, which came with boneless crispy fried chicken, cheese tteokbokki, and fried potstickers. We also added an order of corn cheese because... how could we not? The chicken lived up to the hype. Perfectly crispy on the outside, juicy inside, and coated in a sauce that had me licking my fingers without shame. The cheese tteokbokki was exactly what I was hoping for. Chewy rice cakes swimming in a rich, spicy, cheesy sauce that kept me coming back for another bite. The corn cheese deserves its own paragraph because wow... I understand why Korean restaurants serve this. Sweet corn covered in gooey melted cheese is one of those dishes that sounds simple but somehow disappears before you realize it. The fried potstickers rounded everything out nicely and added another crispy bite to the meal. And because apparently we hadn't eaten enough, we finished with Dippin' Dots for dessert. It was such a fun way to end the meal and brought back a little childhood nostalgia. Overall, the portions were generous, the food came out hot, and the whole spread looked as good as it tasted. This is definitely a place I'll be coming back to whenever the Korean fried chicken craving hits.

Walked in at 9:00pm and was told dismissively by the man in the front we wouldn't seated even…read morethough they close at 11:00pm. My friend had to go ask again before they came and started to clear out a table for my group. I get that my group was slightly larger because there were 7 of us but saying that 2 hours before closing was slightly ridiculous. Ambiance was clean and standard for a Korean fried chicken restaurant. Now onto the food... chicken was good but not the best Korean fried chicken I've had. The fish cake soup was $25 for only three sticks of fish cake which is MUCH too overpriced for what it was. The taste was solid but also basic and felt like something I could make at home... not special. The chicken gizzard had a good texture and flavor which was nice. The tteokbokki wasn't chewy enough so we weren't that big of a fan. The fries were freshly fried and good but it's hard to mess up freshly fried fries. Overall food was solid but not the best.

Fun date night here. :) Can't go wrong with some wings and beer! Especially Korean wings!…read moreTheir wings are pretty big compared to your average flats that you'd usually get at your typical TGI Friday's. So you're getting bang for your buck here. My bf and I got 12 wings of the original and 12 wings of the soy. We couldn't finish the whole thing, but brought home the other half, threw them in the airfryer the next day and they were still crispy on the outside and moist on the inside. I don't know how they do it, but the breading is absolutely perfect! It's not greasy either so this wing has the perfect harmony of crunch and barely any grease. The only downside of this place is that they don't have any wipes, but they do have restrooms. Lol The clam soup was a nice pairing with the wings to wash down the crumbs, as well as the cabbage salad. The cabbage salad had a thousand island mild kind of dressing that was really nice. We ate the whole thing quickly! I've been here a few times and will continue to come back. They have fun kpop music playing on a big tv screen in the back and I love the button on the table to call over a waiter when needed! Clean and fun ambience! Great for a Friday night out or whenever you're craving crispy wings! The soy wings are considered wet wings and I'm also amazed at how the breading doesn't get soggy with the sauce!

My issue was that while we were still eating, the staff came over and asked us to pay before we had even finished our meal. I understand restaurants have closing procedures, but being asked to pay, touch a screen that's not even clean while my hands have sauce while actively eating made us feel rushed and unwelcome. To make matters worse, the food itself took a while to come out, so it felt unfair to be hurried after waiting for it. The food was good as usual but the overall experience left a bad impression. I completely understand wanting to close on time (I once worked in foods) but guests who called ahead and were allowed to dine in shouldn't feel pressured to finish as quickly as possible.

My favorite fried chicken spot! For the longest time I was a Kokos girl but once I discovered this…read morespot I was hooked. The lemon pepper curry wings are a must! We also tried the honey rap and mala one as well, both are very delicious. The mala one is very unique and quite spicy if you love spice. These wings are huge and juicy, packed with so much flavor. Sometimes I will be craving this even though I had it the previous week haha. It's that good. What's a must with these wings is the spicy carbonara tteokbokki. It's like a rose tteokbokki but more bacon forward flavor. Soooo delicious and addicting. Pairs very well with the crisp to perfection wings. Service is good and the vibes are great! Feels very retro and great spot to go with friends. I highly recommend this place if you love quality Korean fried chicken! 12/10 recommend :)

This one was a tough one... I really wanted it to be 5/5 stars, but I think I'm sticking with 4/5…read morestars on this one. Let me elaborate. The restaurant itself is kind of small. When we got there at 5 pm, almost all the tables were already full. We were able to get the small table where you sit down on some cushions to eat. They have this unique seating area in the back by the bathroom near the kitchen. Check it out. We ordered the honey soy chicken plate with rice. They fry chicken thighs for that one and gave a decent amount of chicken. The sides were ok. Probably not my preference. We also got the 8 piece seaweed fried chicken and the honey soy chicken. The chicken here are big and moist. Very juicy and very good. The seaweed one is very unique and I really like that one. A lot of umami flavor. However, what made it a 4 star place for me was that the server never really checked up on us at all. Didn't come by to ask how things were or anything. Also, the price is quite high for what it is. $20 for 8 pieces of wings isn't cheap. The two items with tax and tip was over $40 and I think we all still left not quite full. Anyways, it was good trying it out, but might not be something I go to often.

Best Korean fried chicken around the area! While other places are sometimes too greasy and taste…read morelike old frying oil, Koko always tastes very fresh! The batter on the chicken is perfectly crunchy and light without being too thick or greasy or overwhelming the chicken. I like the original chicken wings and the soy sauce wings, but they have a lot of other flavors I need to try. Served with the standard Korean cabbage salad and pickled radish (which is a must). Their radish is delicious. Service is attentive and friendly. Beer and soju also served here with a decent selection of beers on tap, and they have a bunch of TVs to watch sports games. This place is great with a bigger group so you can share wings and other dishes as well as a pitcher of beer! My go to place when I want chicken, beer, and a place to watch the game.

The wings were small and not crunchy, partly due to it sitting in the box for 15min but still worth mentioning. The radish container also leaked in our bag and didn't realize. It sat in the passenger seat so there wasn't any roughness. I believe it wasn't tightly sealed, causing the car to smell. Based off a friend's recommendation, it's better dining in and we tried to the next day but could not get seated due to the World Cup making them busy.

This chain is the ONLYYYY place I'll get tteokbokki from. I don't know what magic they use in their…read moresauce base but it's perfectly spicy and savory with just the slightest bit of sugar. The other places are half sugar/half gochujang and it gets so cloyingly sweet and thick I hate it. But I never have that problem here and it's soo soooooo good!! Here you choose your choice of rice cake + spice level and then add whatever toppings you'd like. It already comes preset with a good level of rice cakes, fish cakes, veggies and a boiled egg. I added sausage (+$3.50 for 6 pieces) and jjolmyun noodles (+$3.50). After adding those my total came to $22 for the tteokbokki (base price $15). The sausage I'd get again but the noodles were ehhh. They got soggy kind of quickly so I'll just get regular ramen next time. For type of rice cake just trust me and get the garaetteok!! It's made with rice flour and is the BEEEEST TEXTURE! Plus the name in Korean translates to "grandmas garae tteokbokki" so you have to order what they're known for! It comes in 3 long strips and they have scissors on the side for you to cut it up yourself. The texture is so perfectly soft and chewy. I cannot explain. It is simply the best like frozen regular rice/wheat ones cannot compete. For spice level, level 2 (out of 3) was perfect where it's slightly spicy but it builds the more you eat it and ends at a good medium-high. By the end I was like oooooh it's kicking in. But any less would be too mild and I feel like level 3 it'd be too spicy for me to finish it all and have a good time. Rice balls ($6)-- Comes in a big bowl with a pair of gloves and you mix and make your own rice balls. It's good! Good change of pace from the tteokbokki and helps with spice. It's not the mayo kind, just sesame oil and soy sauce or something but it's still good!! Gimmari ($4.50)-- Kind of tempura, glass noodle wrapped in seaweed. It's good but.... there's only 4 little pieces ????? It's so expensive. Like baby pieces. In comparison that whole rice ball bowl was only $6 so I just can't justify this pricing. Overall the flavor is AMAZINGGGG and price really isn't that bad if you order tteokbokki + rice balls. The fried stuff is expensive. I went on a Saturday the place was full of Korean families so it's like yk.. good sign that the place is good and authentic. They also sell fried chicken but I didn't order any. Parking is easy since there's a huge shared lot.

Also, the speakers are placed directly next to some of the tables, and the music is extremely loud if you are seated near them.

The music is so loud that it feels more like a nightclub than a restaurant. Customers come here to enjoy their food and have conversations with friends and family, not to dance. The music should be kept at a reasonable volume so everyone can enjoy their meal and have a pleasant conversation.
