5/10/26 Update: This place don't miss. I have been here 7-8 times now for both takeout and dine-in and the food is so, so good. They now have fried pickles, too! Treat yourself to this spot and thank me later. read more

Expensive and bland. Was expecting something with more flavor for the price and advertisement. Updated to add that the ramune soda they served us expired almost a year ago as well. Will not be returning. read more

My daughter really wanted to try this spot so we had lunch last Saturday. She ordered a Korean hotdog with cheese & hot Cheetos plus an order or fries & a drink. I ordered 3 tenders onion rings & a drink (comes with 1 dipping sauce included at no chg any extra would be a fee) plus we ordered dumplings to share the bill was like &45/$46 ... so average. Super nice girl taking the order. Clean space & pop/K-pop playing inside. There is a sign stating that they thank you for your patience as they are a family run establishment which I both support & appreciate. It did take our food a while to come out. No big deal we weren't in a hurry & there were lots of customers coming in while we waited so we were just enjoying the ambiance. Once our number was called we picked up our food had a seat & dug in. I personally did not like my food at all. I feel terrible saying it but I believe in honesty... I didn't like my food. It wasn't the flavor it was the amount of residual oil on everything. All I tasted was the oil coating my mouth. I made it thru 3/4 of tender & 2 onion rings the rest of them the batter didn't really adhere to so they were like unevenly battered crispy onions which wouldn't have been bad (I love onions) but for all the oil. Oddly enough the fries were really nice & crispy not oily and the serving was very generous as were the dumplings they were pan fried & served with soy sauce (not my favorite) I would've liked them with a more traditional sauce ( a mix of soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil & garlic) My daughter liked her corn dog no complaints there & it was huge she did try it wit the spicy mayo but preferred it without & wouldve liked a sauce for it however they charge for all sauces except the ketchup so we just left it at that. Cute concept, really cute mascot, nice family ... just a few things that need ironing out. read more

Bad food, so bad a nine year old who only eats chicken tenders and fries would not eat it. Saying the chicken was sour and the fries were bad. When we walked in there were chairs on the tables and tons of people standing around, I asked how long the wait would be for food and they said no more then 15 minutes so we we decided to order but it actually took 30 minutes. They had a leak in the roof so they said takeout only but eventually changed their mind and let everyone eat there. They had opened 12 minutes before we came and they were limited on what we could order and said that the KO sauce would not be available all day, big bummer. It honestly felt like they rushed to open and nothing was ready or made. We ordered the 6 piece wings because they wouldn't let us order just 4 even though it's on the menu, ordered the 2 piece kids tender meal, 4 piece tenders and sweet potato fries. The menu was confusing and we did not realize they were all meals so they came with fries and a fountain drink, we thought we were just ordering the entrees. The drinks tasted bad, like not enough syrup in the machine. The fries had no salt and tasted like an undercooked potato. The sweet potato fries were good but still no salt. Chicken tenders were so bland, no flavor at all and not very crispy. The wings are not wings, they are fried drumsticks with is okay but they are not advertised that way. Also they were undercooked, still pink in the middle. We didn't finish any of our food and threw it all away. We spent $50 for the three of us. We left still hungry and disappointed. I know it's a new place but I'd rather be KO'd than come back. read more

Context: This is a new business, and I tried it for the second time. With a new business there are teething pains so I wanted to try it again, a bit later to get a more accurate representation of what the food can be. Pros: - If you're a tender man or woman (or anything in between), this place is for you. Tenders are very meaty, juicy, and have a very nice crisp. Perfect ratio of meat and crispy skin. I can't remember ever having tenders that were this good, seriously. - Pickled radish is a nice side, the tang and freshness cuts through the salty fry for some fun mouth tastes. - Soy garlic wings have that Korean type of crust you'd come to expect from a Korean chicken place, and we like that CRUNCH. - Friendly service. Cons: - Wings, although quite good were a little bit on the salty side. - Item prices are a little on the higher side. Recommended, especially for team tenders. read more

Delish food, service was ok. We had some adult beverages that were really old way over expiration date. They exchanged for something else. But that's a huge issue in my book. I would try them again. read more

Very good food and especially because a lot of the menu is gluten free. I got the Korean korndog with cheese and hot dogs and their fried dumplings. I have seen a lot of comments on the service and please think of this place as a sit down restaurant. The service was immaculate and it was really good food. The dumplings were cooked perfectly and the korndog was exactly what you need. read more

About $50 for 1 adult and 2 kids. Corn dog was large, chicken was okay... Cristy on the outside and somewhat lukewarm on the inside. Super nice staff. $16 for a 4 piece chicken strip and fries felt kinda pricey. Sauce was very watered down and didn't add much flavor unfortunately. I would like it to make a few adjustments and hopefully do well in the future. read more

Sorry but not great..... my 13 YO, who eats anything fried enjoyed the chicken strips. However my 7YO wouldn't touch the corn dog after one bit, the inside was very slimy and not appealing. Not just the dog but the crust/bred was slimy too.... After waiting over 20 minutes for our order I would have expected a bit better. Any they were not even busy.... Maybe some perfecting will happen as they are open longer.... And last point.... Sure wish they were frying in tallow or anything other than an Industrial seed oil.... Canola is just bad news. We will limit any future visits due to this. read more

I was really excited to try. Coming from Hawai'i, we have Korean Chicken spots everywhere, so getting one close to home was pretty exciting. Came around 2:23pm on a Sunday, I understand they aren't fully staffed yet and they are still doing a "soft" opening. We ordered one of each meal, not all sauces available, we walked over to the other restaurants to look while we waited. Overall, we waited 40 min for our food. Insane. The food we got smelled really good, but waiting 40 min for 2 meals, that's crazy. Only giving 2 stars because the taste was ok, but not worth a 40 min wait. read more

Chicken wings are tempura fried-crispy and hot. KO sauce was very tasty. Soy garlic was way too sweet for me but had a good flavor. Ordered the 8 wings for me and hubby to share. More than enough. Wings were fist sized -way larger than expected.. Fried dumplings were ok-probably frozen but not bad. Love the crinkle fries and picked radish. Restrooms very clean and staff very friendly and helpful with ordering. Only had 2 wings left for the picture. read more

K.O. Chicken - Two wings and fries to take home! - Fast Food Near Me - Colorado Springs, Colorado

I was honestly hesitant to try this place because of some of the reviews, but I'm so glad we gave it a shot! My husband ordered the wings with the sauce flight, I got the tenders, and we shared a Korean Korn Dog. Everything was absolutely delicious. The chicken was perfectly crispy on the outside while still tender inside, the sauces were super flavorful, and the Korn Dog was such a fun (and tasty!) addition. The guy taking our order was helpful! Service is good. We definitely ordered more food than we needed, but I'm glad we got to try a variety. Our total was around $40 -- about the same as what we usually spend at Chick-fil-A -- so I'm not sure what everyone is complaining about. 5 stars from us! We'll definitely be back. read more

I want this business to do well but I do have to be honest about what we thought. The service we received was great. The gal taking our order answered all our questions and was very friendly. We ordered a corn dog which was really crispy and pretty good actually. We also ordered the chicken tenders and they were just OK. They were really salty, kind of greasy but they were large, juicy and crispy. It's nothing amazing, kind of gave school cafeteria or state fair vibes the way it's served. All in all, we might go back when they have their full menu available but I don't see this place becoming our favorite. read more

If you want to go to flavor town this isn't the place. Unfortunately the chicken was super greasy and no flavor. The sauces didn't help it either. Also the prices are very expensive for what you get. read more

K.O. Chicken - If you want to visit flavor town don't come here. Chicken is super greasy and flavorless. $50 not well spent - Fast Food Near Me - Colorado Springs, Colorado

Food was good but, way overpriced! Asian food is the cheapest food to make....Will not be returning...

Waited 20 mins before the staff realized my order was placed in kiosk and wondered why I was just sitting and waiting. The front was nice enough to let me know but sucks to wait another 20 mims for food when there were only a few customers who ordered after me and got their food. read more

I am really surprised someone left a bad review without having tasted the food. Especially having been to a restaurant just once! Ambiance was busy but still had good service and tenders were perfectly crispy and light best of all the chicken is GLUTEN-FREE! Also very clean! read more

$20 for chicken strips and fries. And $1.50 for extra ranch? Haha. Chicken had zero flavor and odd texture; almost stringy and rubbery. They served it with 2 sauces there were fair at best. The Soy garlic was gelatinous ooze. Not good. Chick-fila is 10x better. read more

So glad we tried KO Chicken! It was DELICIOUS, with large potions and the most excellent flavors. Each meal came with a side of pickled radish, it was unique and the perfect pairing to the meal. Very good, friendly service and the owners even came to speak with us. This locally owned business will be one we go back to! Do yourself a favor and enjoy the best GF chicken around. read more

We were very excited to have a Korean chicken restaurant close by. The service and atmosphere were good. The chicken wings were decent and definitely crunchy. However the sauces we had were terrible. The sweet chile sauce had no spice to it and the overall flavor was bad. The soy garlic was very runny and awful. Fortunately the sauces were in separate containers from the wing, so we were able to eat them without sauce. We will wait a while to return in hopes they work out the kinks and improve their food. read more

Food was great, service was great too!! Really liked their variety in flavors and sauces.

Food wasn't what expected. Could have had more flavor on the chicken besides the sauce. The Korean corn dog wasn't the best super greasy. I understand things are getting deep fried but still. They have potential read more

The staff was fantastic and so kind. I realize food costs are rising but $17 for chicken tenders and fries is a lot. The island heat sauce is like a weird tropical applesauce. I'll get two meals out of it since I got to-go and have an air fryer, but don't know that I'd return. read more

So nice to get fried chicken that is gluten free and tasty! Very friendly service and nice, clean, bright dining area. I loved that the chicken nuggets were made from dark meat which I prefer for flavor and juiciness. The corn dog was very different, interesting and yummy, way bigger than I expected! read more

The food was amazing worth the wait for sure!! I don't think it was badly priced either for all the food we got! The service was great too very nice! Also had gluten free and dairy free options which is awesome! read more

Service was good, food was great & with multiple options for gluten free it's a must visit. Thanks for providing a great atmosphere!

Large portion sizes and good flavor. Nice staff and the sweet chili sauce is delicious. kind of expensive but a local small business so i get it and at least the portions are nice. Amazing for being gluten free which is a big plus being celiac! read more

Love this chicken so light and crispy! This is not fast food,it's so much better than fast food! And Gluten-free My new favorite fried chicken! Jordan my servicer was pleasant and helpful! I will be back for sure! read more

We got our order Togo and everything was great ! My daughter and I are gluten free . We had the chicken wings and fries . Loved it all and all the sauces ! We will be back soon! read more

Frozen bag of fries deep fried with what appears to be red Robbin's seasoning. 3 fried chicken tenders all for the price of $11.50 without tax. Price isn't the issue overall but the quality based on their competitors is very subpar. Inventory non existent didn't know business open with one 2 basic menu options of tenders or corndogs even what they had on their menu such as sauces didn't exist. Just drive to the new Popeyes down the block and get 4 piece fried chicken with fries, drink and biscuit for $13. Time to get your food was about 30 mins and this is just for tenders and fries so please note that. Overall, very disappointing would recommend going elsewhere. The front desk service was good at least. read more

I am genuinely shocked at how bad these tenders they're selling are. I seriously have not had worse fried chicken in my life and I'm not exaggerating. The consistency of the crust is closer to beer battered cod or a fried dumpling rather than any Korean fried chicken I have ever ate. I'm not even trying to hate, they just opened and I had high hopes but i was wowed; this is actually inedible. I am once again shocked by the people leaving good reviews like you guys know what fried chicken is supposed to taste like right? Your neighbor Popeyes easily mops this place. read more

Chairs are not comfortable. Two items on the menu with half the sauces being not available. The tablet asked for a tip before even showing the total. There is absolutely no reason to return. read more

Food was awesome!! Can't wait for the full menu!! Chicken was great and so were the Korn dogs!!!! Super crispy and awesome!

The service is very slow but the food looks amazing. We ordered a lot of food from the kid (Josh) behind the counter instead of the kiosk so our order would not get messed up. After twenty minutes we get our food. I noticed my plate has sweet potato fries and not the onion rings I ordered. So go back to the counter and explain the mistake. Well Josh pulls out the receipt (which we were not given a copy of) and see his mistakes he rang in the sweet potato fries and not onion rings. He explained he would have the kitchen make some. I sat down with my family and took one bite of my chicken tenders and Josh comes out and explains his manager told him to take my food. He said since I already took a bite he would just have them make the onion rings. I took a second bite of my tender and then the manager comes out. She has the receipt in her hand and says "well the onion rings are a dollar more but I guess I can make them for you. She then takes my whole plate back to the kitchen. Well fifteen minutes later my food comes out with the same chicken and the onion rings. My chicken must have been under a heat lamp because it was now dry. The onion rings were good but not good enough to wait almost twice as long to get my food while watching everyone else eat. I guess the manager was afraid I would eat the 53 cent worth of sweet potato fries. read more
