Food was very good. I tried the wings with the Korean special sauce since it was recommended. I enjoyed them, not spicy. I'll try one if the spicier sauces next time. My husband had the tenders. I thought they were great, but he didn't care for the onion powder flavor. I guess this will just be my spot. Service was great and food was fresh! Very big servings. read more

Just a quick work visit to Lubbock and this was by far the best experience I had in this town..oh yeah the food was top notch made fresh and very tasty! If I'm ever back in Lubbock I will stop here to eat!!! The wings were amazing!!! read more

Definitely try this little hole in the wall that serves Korean fried chicken. I don't know what these low reviews are talking about. I have been several times and the staff is incredibly welcoming. The food is always FRESH and that's why there might be a small wait. Always worth it. Go try it for yourself, you will not be disappointed!! read more

The garlic chicken is the best! They helped me decide what to order my first time in and they were very nice. Every time I have a hankering for garlic chicken - this is the spot! read more

The experience at Kokoi Chicken was decent. While the chicken had a flavorful seasoning, the service was average, and the overall atmosphere lacked a bit of charm. It's an okay option, but there's room for improvement. They were very polite though . The fries were cold and flavorless . read more

Love to support local businesses. Best wings in town. So crispy and juicy. Tteokbokki just like grandma and mom makes it. Amazing wonderful customer service. So friendly. Can't rush perfection. Didn't seem too long. Enjoyed watching the interaction with the owner, cook and cashier with everyone. Very clean establishment, all around including restrooms. Will be coming back regularly. Highly recommend read more

Kokio Chicken - Korean spicy rice cakes (Tteokbokki), yaki mandu (dumplings), Wings (Half and Half) Korean special sauce and garlic, radishes (refreshing) - Korean Near Me - Lubbock, Texas

Being from Hawaii where KFC (Korean Fried Chicken) is available everywhere, this place is the real deal. Juicy, with a crunchy exterior which defines KFC. So far, we've just ordered the whole chicken and warm up the left overs the next day in the oven. We love Canes and Chick fil A as well but KFC is a whole different kind of chicken. Glad I don't have to crave KFC when in Lubbock anymore. read more

Unbelievably good! Very clean inside, owner is very friendly and helpful with helping a first timer order. Great flavor, cooked to perfection. Highly recommended. Each plate is cooked fresh, so don't be in a rush. The wait is worth it. read more

Oh goodness with the first bite of wings with Korean special sauce you are addicted. The chicken strips are just the right amount of tasty spice. The fries are great! The service is great. The food is amazing. Go go go you will not regret it. read more

My home town had a lot of Korean fried chicken so eating here was nostalgic for me. The batter of the chicken was fried to perfection and the meat is so juicy and tender. My favorite flavor is the soy and I tried the garlic but I did not like that. It is expensive but you can tell how fresh it is when you get it so it's worth the splurge. read more

Wife and I ate lunch there this past week and was impressed with the food. The service was great and the place was clean. The only problem is the price. As I said, the food was great but a little pricey. However, we probably will eat there again. read more

Amazing service and the food is always amazing, I 100% recommend this to everyone! I usually order online for pickup and they are super kind and quick with a friendly goodbye when I leave. Their Korean style chicken tastes great, I've ordered it a few times and the quality is always top notch. I've also tried their spicy chicken sandwich along with the spicy rice cake bowl and it was so good! Overall always a nice experience. 10/10 read more

They have the best chicken. It's freshly cooked, very hot when they bring it to you. Bursting with flavor all the way through. The service is good. Clean and quiet. It will take at least 20 min but it is so worth it. It's on our favorite list. read more

This is my first time trying Korean Fried chicken wings! Decent food and a reasonable price! I mean Who doesn't love it?! Also, shout out for the service! Lots of bad things happen to me lately. But they bring me an extra treat! So sweet! Two chefs made my day! (happy tears) The chicken wing is the best wings that I ever had! I used to eat Popeye, but Kokio chicken is my favorite now! I ordered to go but I would love to dine in if I have time next time. The inside tables and chairs are extremely clean! It is hard to find a fried food restaurant that is not greasy! I love it! read more

Kokio Chicken - Five wings and French Fries - Korean Near Me - Lubbock, Texas

A-Ma-Zing!!! Crunchy and perfectly cooked. The way they cut it leaves very few bones. So for those who love the flavor of bone in chicken but don't like the bones, ordering a half or whole chicken is the perfect compromise. I got a half original crispy, and half spicy, the 2nd to the hottest. It was absolutely delicious, and I would be in trouble if I lived in Lubbock because I would eat here all the time. I'm glad I go to Lubbock on a regular basis. This place is great. Also, the staff was extremely friendly. It feels like a family run place. A family that's proud of their restaurant. read more

Got a TOGO order from here. The best fired chicken in LBK. We ordered 1/2 original and 1/2 Korean special sauce. Recommend both! We also got the rice cakes in sauce. Flavor was great, wish there were eggs like the pic ( I get it egg prices are expensive) so I added soft boiled eggs to it and it was perfect! this is pretty authentic and great flavors. read more

Absolutely love this place! Whenever I'm craving fried chicken, I now come here. The dak kang jang sauce is my usual go to. Only thing l'd advise is expect to wait a little. Not sure if it's because it's a small family owned business or short on staff, but waiting was worth it. The people are friendly, it's a small hole-in-the wall type of restaurant, but overall really glad I found this place. read more

Absolutely delicious Korean Chicken! Expect a 25 min wait, but it's so worth it! So sad there's not one here in Colorado where I live. read more

Kokio Chicken - Korean Chicken - Korean Near Me - Lubbock, Texas

I go here at least once a week, super obsessed with their garlic chicken, unbelievably delicious!

If you like Korean chicken, this is a great spot. The food is delicious and the staff is friendly. One of our favorite takeout places

Pretty damn good drum sticks! With Korean sauce! They take a while to cook, but it's worth the wait!

food and service were amazing! best fried chicken i've ever had and the cashier, daniel was very sweet and the kitchen staff all gave us a friendly goodbye when we left :) really liked this place. read more

Absolutely love this place. I make an effort to come here at least every Saturday for the same order and it never disappoints. The owners are friendly and the staff reflects that as well. The wait can be long depending on how soon you place your order (better to do it in advance), but know that your food is freshly cooked every time because of this. A great place for some top tier wings. read more

The chicken here is amazing! I've had Korean fried chicken in LA and this place blows it away. There are so many different sauces to choose from, we had the dak kang Jung special sauce, and the honeybee and both did not disappointment. The dak kang Jung was spicy but had enough sweetness that made me want to lick the sauce off my fingers. The honeybee had just the right amount of sweet. All the chicken was coated just right so that you could still taste the crispy/flaky batter and of course...the chicken! The owners there were super nice and the place was clean. You do have to wait a little...but that's expected if you want fresh hot chicken made to order...worth the wait. I saw signs where you can order online if you are in a time crunch (plenty of parking outside). We'll definitely be coming again. I wish I took photos but honestly...everything looked so good we started scarfing away immediately. read more

I passed by and noticed there was a new Korean chicken place in Lubbock. "Yayyy" was my initial reaction. Their menu is pretty limited and they were out of a few things. I settled on the spicy chicken bowl. It's really spicy, like a sweeter type spicy. The chicken is only thigh meat which I didn't care for. Bowl comes with a small size of veggies over lots of white rice. There's also a side of coleslaw. Ive never had coleslaw in Korea...but ok! I ordered inside and waited about 10 minutes for my food. They also sell chicken wings. I inquired about whether you could get just drums or wings. They said no so I didn't order. All in all, 3 stars out of 5. It's okay. Expensive for Lubbock and for what it is. read more

Amazing food and great people, you should love the original if you like any other fried chicken 5 stars

I have now had their takeout twice. Both times were amazing! Be sure to try the Korean Special!!! So good!!!

Absolutely delicious crispy chicken! The waffle fries paired great with the chicken and generous portions too! The sauces come on the side and they are delicious and spicy. Great space, lots of tables, and friendly staff. read more

Wow, never had such good korean fried chicken. And I live in Houston and we have tons of good places to eat. Seriously a random gem in a random city. Wait time can be a little long, but thats how you know its fresh. I would suggest calling in ahead of time. I had the original crispy and hot crispy. Hot crispy wasn't what I expected, but still very good. It's not covered in hot sauce, but rather the batter its fried in is hot. They package it real well so it keeps its crispiness and doesn't get soggy. I took mine to my hotel and ran errands and it was still piping hot and crispy after like 30 mins. Best thing is the boneless chicken. It's not like boneless chicken you get at buffalo wild wings or chilis, where it looks like those weird frozen pieces from the freezer aisle. Rather, its actually chicken pieces which I think they debone from a chicken and batter then fry. Definitely check this place out! read more

The food was so delicious. My first time here and I was not disappointed. Everything was fresh and delicious. The service was amazing. Highly recommend! read more

The food is great! However, be prepared to spend some time waiting for it. At least 20 minutes. But it is worth the wait!

I used to work there and the food is great but not great people and they do not know how to run a business because they never have change for the customers and they want me to get my money it's not my responsibility to make sure the customers get their change back out of my pocket not my restaurant. read more

Food is always hot and so so good !!! The spicy rice cakes are sooooo good and the honey bee sauce

I've been looking for a good spicy chicken spot since moving to Lubbock & this is by far by favorite. I've had the tenders & the spicy chicken sandwich. The chicken is always crunchy on the outside and juicy & tender in the inside. All the sauces I've tried have been fantastic, but their spicy is definitely spicy. read more

Awesome food, Service and environment!! I would recommend Kokio Chicken to anyone looking for a change to their taste buds!

Waited 45 mins for my walk in order. People that came in after me left before me. Stingy with the sauce.

Drums and Wings are great. Totally worth the slightly high price. Honeybee sauce is delicious but still need to go back and try more flavors and menu items. read more

Damn, very good. Extra Spicy sauce is choice as well, kinda sweet, plenty of kick. Everyone was very friendly! read more

Chicken is good everything is good however they charge 30 cents for ranch and barely fill the cup 25% of the way, aside from the dipping sauce which is a complete ripoff its a great place. Hope they see this and start filling their ranch cups to the top. read more
