What an unexpected gem! My friends were looking for something quick for lunch and we would not have found this spot had we not been staying in a neighborhood nearby. This is definitely a hole in the wall-type restaurant. The exterior isn't great, and honestly the inside isn't much either. There's no place to sit, you come to order your food and go- but the service and quality of the food more than make up for it. We ordered an XL order of soy garlic wings (20 pieces) and a M order of honey spicy (10 pieces) and it was more than enough for 6 people. The crunch and flavor were TOP. I heard great things about the honey lemon pepper wings only after we placed our order, but unfortunately we didn't get to order any. I also have to shout out the employee that took our order. He was so friendly to us and also threw in extra sauces and Oreos when he saw we were celebrating my bachelorette. That extra touch of customer service made our visit here memorable. I'll be back to try the honey lemon pepper soon! - Ambiance: 3/5 - Food: 5+/5 - Service: 5++/5 read more

Ding ding ding! We have a winner! This place is UNBEATABLE in the category of wings. Whether you like Korean inspired wings or not it will be difficult to deny the GREATNESS here. Don't take it from me...if you're on social media you'll see that food influencers have travelled from afar to rate these wings. And even they were in disbelief how amazing these wings were. The honey lemon pepper is not just a unique sounding flavor but the taste execution is something else. If you haven't tried KoChix don't walk...RUN! Service is always nice and they get orders ready fairly quickly for a fried wing joint. Ambiance isn't much to write about. Kind of your standard takeout place. We got the wings and stood outside and enjoyed them. The weather was nice. Bring plenty of paper towels and water to rinse your hands off. read more

Happened to come across this place by accident and I am so glad I did. This place is so tasty!! I ordered the soy garlic and the honey lemon pepper. I can't wait to order from this place again. Service was quick and easy. read more

Still some of the best wings I've ever had. If I can mkae an excuse to be in DC, I will always make it a point to come here.

I finally gave this place a try and unfortunately I wasn't that impressed. The chicken was fried good and the sauces were flavorful but to me It was pretty basic. Plus the chicken wings were huge. What I didn't like the most was the packaging. They just threw the wings in a paper bag. There was no proper container. You would think that they would have that for sauced wings. The building is small itself, so only about 3 - 4 people are able to enter at a time And parking is very limited. read more

OMG! You gotta try the lemon pepper honey wings!! Saw this place on the way in to a concert. Glad I walked down and ate here. A little hole in the wall, but the locals obviously know what's up. You will not be disappointed!! read more

Food good, but they continue to raise the prices! I can't go back here anymore, was good getting in the other day but for some food you have to sit in your car or go home and by the then it's not hot, it's too expensive. read more

We were in the neighborhood for a concert and decided to try this place out for some wings. The place is a small restaurant but has that hidden gem feel to it. We ordered bulgogli and a chicken combo with garlic soy. Everything tasted pretty good . The service was good. I would try this place again . read more

Let me start out by saying this place is awesome!!! I was in town for a few days and in my few days I manage to check this spot 2 days in a row.....reason being...THE LEMON PEPPER WINGS !!! Omg the wings are fantastically awesome!!! The crunch, the size of rhe wings and the favor, truly outstanding. Oh I did get 2 flavors lemon pepper and hot honey wings. Don't get me wrong both were good but the lemon pepper is definitely the stand out!! As we headed home from DC everyone keep talking about how good these wings were ! The service is good to when we came in the next day we were greeted with a cherry hello from the worker behind the counter who must have recognition us from the day before....now that was cool. Try KoChix you will not be disappointed. read more

back to 5 stars - wings are back to original quality, large and super crisp. they've added new sauces but favorites are the soy garlic or getting them naked and saucing them with buffalo at home. fries and oysters are bad now, skip them and most of the rest of the menu as well. just get wings. orders are quick, they're now open sundays, favorite wings in dc read more

COME FOR THE HONEY LEMON PEPPER WINGS!!!!!! They are so perfectly crunchy and saucy. No one else has this so you gotta come here. I've also enjoyed the Hot Honey Spicy! There is not seating at all so definitely order ahead online or at the counter. read more

Kochix, DC's premier Korean fried chicken spot, has the tell tale signs of a legendary hole in the wall. Upon arrival, the 13 people packed into a 5x5 box, plaques from countless new reviews, and handwritten prices let me know these drums were about to be pure gas. Coming in a couple signature flavors, I got one of their newer flavors-honey lemon pepper. I took a short walk back to S St, sat down, and indulged. For about 15 bucks for 5 drums this place knows their worth. The bite was satisfyingly crunchy, the perfect balance between crunch and flavor! although these wings were a little bit too pricey for what I would normally pay, the quick service, unmatched flavor, and the fact that this is locally owned means I would 110% come back to support a neighborhood spot. Overall I rate Kochix a 9/10. read more

Better than the hitching post. I gotta stand on business. I don't care if Koreans did not invent this style of frying the chicken.. they do it well and the korean flavors used are 100% korean. I support flavor no matter what color skin the people who are producing it.. black, yellow, purple.. if they can fry chicken I'm going to eat it!! read more

Utterly surprised I don't already have a review for one of my fav spots in DC! Kochix is a locally-owned Korean fried chicken spot. This should become one of your regular spots for ordering out. Their drumsticks and wings are ginormous and delicious. My go-to orders are the 10 wings, half hot honey spicy and half honey lemon pepper. They're always nice and crisp and easily heated up for a future meal in my air fryer. I don't love their fries, but their onion rings are tasty. Even better are their corn nuggets! They're corn fritters with whole corn inside, a corn lovers dream lol This is a crowd pleaser as I've served them to friends and coworkers. Alas, there isn't really space to eat here aside from a short counter against a wall. It's located near the corner of Rhode Island and Florida, so not the most scenic corner of the city, but very much worth the trip or delivery order! read more

We placed a large group order online and when we went to pick up the order, it was all out of sorts. The staff there was very friendly, but they were a bit overwhelmed while I was there. They had lost one order and others were messed up. There is street parking available, that is relatively easy to find. This place is small and is strictly carryout. They serve Korean style wings, drumsticks, and sandwiches. I ordered 10 wings, with a side of fries. I got 5 hot honey spicy wings and 5 Honey Old-bay. My wings were decent, but I like my wings coated in their respective sauce. These wings were sporadically covered in sauce. Don't get me wrong, my wings were good and everyone like their food. I have just had much better wings at similar places. I will warn you that there is a bit of a wait here, as it is with most Korean Fired Chicken joints. All-in all this is a decent spot to get your KFC (Korean Fried Chicken) fix. Hopefully, they will coat their wings in sauce a bit better. read more

Im telling you its flavors are growing on me And hats off to the store ow.ers for upgrading the chicken box. It hold it s shape with steam much better 10 out of 10 read more

Hands down the best, crunchiest Korean fried chicken you'll ever have. I told my coworker about it and she calls it "crack chicken." lol. The crunch is unmatched and the flavors are so good. The honey lemon pepper and honey old bay are my go to options. The staff is super friendly. The first time I ate here I ordered a 10pc to try it out. Those wings didn't last at all. I finished em all before I even got to the Virginia state line. You will not be disappointed. read more

I really don't understand the hype. I walked in your typical hole in the wall and was immediately greeted. Instagram and the world HYPED these wings. I ordered 10 fried high ended up being $20. Shocked the heck outta me. The "ADMIN" fee really bothered me. I can only imagine if I had a larger order. The wings were much larger than one would expect, came out piping hot but overall AVERAGE. Lacked seasoning. Simple carry out wings. I opted out of the sauce and I could do without honey and soy sauce on chicken. Decent spot but to expensive for carry out wings to me. read more

I would only get the chicken, the onion rings and the fries not too good. Very small inside . The chicken is frozen chicken but it's good . Service wise It takes a while for your food to come out . read more

I got the 10 wings which came with two wing flavors. I opted for the soy garlic and hot honey spicy. The soy garlic was really good, I didn't care for the hot honey spicy, it was not spicy at all. The wings were quite large and I was stuffed after. The skin on the wings is super crispy just how I like mine. The service was very friendly and relatively quick. The inside is small with no seating and more of a to go restaurant. read more

These might really be the best wings in DC. Tried this place because I saw a review on Instagram and they did not disappoint! The wings were so crispy, yet juicy at the same time. The sauces were both really good and they complimented the wings well. The service was also perfect. The man at the front let us try two different flavors because we were not sure what we wanted to try. It is a small hole in the wall, so not much to say about the ambiance. The food is a 10/10 though. read more

Very unsuspecting spot on the corner, but those are my faves! It's a carry out vibe for sure, but the gentleman who assisted me was extremely nice and had a welcoming demeanor. I had been there once before years ago and I must say that I recall the chicken being slightly more life changing. I ordered their new lemon pepper wings and their spicy honey wings. The lemon pepper wings were very good, 4.5/5; however, I am a spicy food fanatic and the spicy wings had little to no heat at all; making them a 3/5 for me. I also got a side of fries, which were amazing. Tasted like they were tossed in a light lemon pepper seasoning mix. Overall, chicken wings are my kryptonite, so I will be returning. read more

This carry-out spot doesn't look like much at first glance, but it's a gem. Although the service needs improvement, I guess the food makes up for it. The philly cheesesteak was so good, we had to get one more for the road. I was impressed by the medium fried wings + hot honey spicy sauce. Will be back whenever I'm in the HowardU area. read more

LOVE Kochix! I crave these wings often. Ordered on DoorDash but have also been to pick up an order on my own after that. The wings are a great size, as a ton of wing places are skimping and giving you the tiniest scrawny little wings. They're so crunchy and the sauces are good, definitely recommend the honey lemon pepper and soy garlic. They're not your typical wing joint chicken wings as they're more Korean style. Love the wings and will be ordering again in the future! If you want to grab them, be warned not a lot of parking in Shaw and no indoor seating or anything, just a counter. Great quality though! read more

Oh man, I gotta say KoChix is FIRE. I have come to learn that I love the way Korean people fry chicken. We ordered the Spicy Honey Chicken and it was delicious. It was not overly spicy. That is the way I like it. Wings and food here is pretty inexpensive. Love the good food we have been eating on our business trip. We will be back for more. read more

Some of the most hype chicken wings in the city. Kochix definitely lived up to the hype in my opinion. I ordered the honey lemon pepper flavor. The wings were made to order, so they came out nice and hot. They're Korean style fried chicken, so the corn starch batter makes them EXTRA crispy. The lemon pepper seasoning wasn't too heavy (I hate when they overdo the seasoning, leaving the wings way too salty) and the honey added a nice sweet balance to the flavor profile. I ordered 15 wings and it took about 10 minutes for my order to come out. There's only take out available, so if you don't live in the neighborhood, you might want to eat your wings in the car to get the fresh experience (or at least try 1 wing right away like I did.. lol) overall I give these wings a 9/10 and I can't wait to go back and try all the other flavors. read more

It was good and surprisingly quick. The meat portions for the wings were meaty. The flavors offered are more sweet than savory, but I think that's more so on me. I ended up getting lemon pepper and soy garlic. The soy garlic was too saucy and more of a glaze. I guess I could have had plain. Would go back read more

This isn't an eat in, but the service was good and to the point. Again, another restaurant that I've passed repeatedly and hadn't tried. I'm going to assume the owner was who took my order and he was very friendly, loved his energy! The food was great! Be prepared, you will smell like a fryer if you sit in and wait for your order lol; it's a small space. We got honey spicy and soy garlic wings.... SO GOOD. Got fries too... they were fries. I'll be back! read more

Korean fried chicken is the bestttt! This has to be the best Asian restaurant in this part of DC. I much rather eat here than overpriced Pho down the road. They double fry it so it's extremely crispy. They often get hated on because apparently American Soldiers taught Koreans how to fry chicken... but what does that have to do with whether they are good or not? Who taught Americans how to fry chicken? The Scottish invented it. All these techniques are recycled. To hate on a business because you're jealous Koreans make fried chicken better than you is borderline r@cism. Let's support KoChix during these discriminatory times! read more

I've never tried Korean chicken and unfortunately, there's very few Korean restaurants where I flew from (Florida) so after picking coffee for a relative and while it was almost 8pm, I decided to visit and try some of their Korean chicken wings. I love me some chicken wings, but THESE wings? The best chicken wings I've ever tasted in my life! I myself am trying to eat more Korean dishes but wow, their chicken wings are immaculate. I kinda wish I took a photo of the wings but I was starving when I got my hotel lol. Thank you, Kochix! I'll be back next time I visit D.C. read more

Huge, crispy wings! The price per wing seems pretty expensive, but considering the size I'd say it worth it. I had the Hot Honey wings. I enjoyed the flavor but didn't find them to be spicy at all.

KoChix - hot honey wings - Korean Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

I have been wanting to visit this place after I saw a Youtube short endorsing the place and having driven by the place a few times. The food however was quite underwhelming and didn't live up to the hype. The coating on the chicken, while crispy, was too thick and not flaky. The hot honey spicy and soy garlic sauces were barely distinctive with the former being barely hot and the sauces being too sweet. The honey lemon pepper sauce was overtly salty and lacked enough sweetness. In addition, this hole in the wall joint has no seating, which is fine if the food was any good. I wouldn't recommend this place. read more

I don't know what happened but I recently stopped by as I hadn't in awhile and the chicken just didn't taste the same. It lacked flavor. I called it in ahead of time and it was ready when I arrived. I did my usual, half and half. I was definitely disappointed. Oh well! read more

I had no idea wings could be so good. And the corn nuggets are from heaven. Also the Korean potstickers are seriously the best I've ever had. Flavorful with a sauce that should be on anything. read more
