    Chicken tenders combo with a side of sauce
    Heather C.

    The service was outstanding. I came here with a date and it was both of our first time trying it. The man at the counter was so helpful in recommending the most popular choices! We both went with a combo- I got the chicken stripe and he got the wings but we shared. Both were so delicious! I loved the wings. They were cooked perfectly and I loved how the sauce had a little bit of kick and almost a little sticky texture. The waffle fries were good and I liked how the tenders came with a side of sauce. We ate here and it was a cute vibe for sure and very clean. I really liked this place a lot and I can't wait to come try more delicious chicken!

    Receipt for quarter chicken wings and coleslaw.

    The chicken wings are a little too sweet but the quality is good. The coleslaw is crunchy and slightly sweet. For me , it's a great accompaniment for anything fried.

    I Door Dashed my order and it was amazing! I couldn't believe how hot and fresh my chicken arrived. The boneless chicken is light and crispy with an amazing flavor. I can't wait to order again!!

    Hot crispy, honeybee and buffalo
    Joseph C.

    First time visit, but had to try it after seeing some pretty good reviews. I ordered the half-and-half wings with hot crispy and honey bee.. the hot crispy were really crispy and juicy not very hot spice wise, but they were still really good. The honeybee were not crispy, but they were good. I would tend to like them with a little more sauce and heat. I got an order of the dumplings which came with no sauce at all. Luckily, I had some duck sauce here at the house and some sweet teriyaki so it worked out well.. I would say if it weren't for the buffalo wings being not crispy at all, and not quite flavorful when it comes to buffalo wings.. aside from that everything was very good. The service was good as it came pretty quickly and was still warm.

    Original chicken strips with coleslaw and fries. Paired with the special Korean sauce(Dak Kang Jung)
    Camilla V.

    I was craving Korean food and was in the area. So I decided to give this place a try. I ordered the original crispy chicken strips with fries and coleslaw. The chicken strips were so crunchy and yummy. Definitely satisfied my Korean chicken crave. The coleslaw was delicious and refreshing. It paired well with the fries and fried chicken. The sauce paired perfectly with everything. The Korean sauce had a nice kick and sweetness. The fries were not your typical fries. These were nicely golden and extra crunchy. The staff were really friendly and helpful. The place was comfortable and casual. Totally recommend for a nice spot for Korean food!

    Drumstick combination plate

    I've come here twice and highly recommend it. If you come here, be expected to wait 30 minutes (depending on what you order) because everything is made fresh! The drumsticks combination plate is my favorite because they are juicy and crispy! You can order online which I do suggest if you are in a time crunch. The owners are so friendly, definitely will be back.

    This place is underrated. The food is a fusion of Korean and American. It's delicious, I got the tenders with fries. Can't beat these tenders and their Korean sauce. It's a good portion for the price. Also the owner was so kind and welcoming.

    Combo plate

    Korean fried chicken done right. Popular location which makes it difficult to find parking, but well worth the stop. We had the chicken tenders and got a half dozen sauces to try them with. The cajun was odd, but the others were quite tasty. None of them were overwhelmingly spicy at all, but they have a good variety of flavors. The crispiness, texture, and flavor of the battered exterior was perfect. The chicken was perfectly juicy and tender. Enjoyed the honey rice cake and chicken as well, which was a nice combination. We definitely ordered too much fried food for lunch, but it was too delicious not to just eat it all. Will return to try the wings and other items.

    Drumstick plate in Korean Special sauce with fries
    Lehi L.

    Found this gem while randomly out on a drive. As newbies to ABQ, we were excited to have found a Korean place. The ambiance is a clean, small welcoming restaurant with enticing pictures of their food options. Be prepared to wait at least 15 minutes as their food is made to order. The counter staff was friendly and prompt. We ordered the following: - Drumstick plate in Korean Special sauce with fries The sizes of the drumsticks were impressive for the price. The only complaint is that the drumsticks were pink in the middle and would've liked it to have been cooked more. Would reconsider getting wings instead of the drumsticks with the Korean Special sauce next time. - Crispy chicken strips plate in Garlic sauce with rice Wasn't too impressed with this plate. The chicken strips were plain, not crispy at all and wished they were double fried or made crispier. The sauce is good with a little bit of a tangy taste. For being a garlic sauce, was surprised it was very green. The sauce went great with the fries. Overall a decent portion size altogether. - Honey Rice Cake with Chicken without any spice (for a young kid) My son really liked the sauce and says he would consider ordering this again. Definitely should eat when freshly made and hot. Would recommend and return to try other options.

    Chicken strip combo
    Daniel C.

    Today was our second time visiting Kokia and I must say, Damn good stuff!!! The chicken is made to order so when it comes out it is volcano magma destroy your mouth piping hot! In a good way! The breading is crispy not burnt and bitter. Everything is seasoned well. The sauce is delicious and so good I couldn't even tell it was spicy till I started sweating. And if you take some home it's even better later in the day when it's cooled off a bit. My new favorite fried chicken spot in town! Can get a little pricy but it's worth it IMO.

    Hot crispy combo plate with coleslaw & fries with Korean special sauce
    Silent Z.

    Best Korean fried chicken in ABQ! My go to order is combo plate of hot crispy strips with fries. The strips are perfectly fried and battered everytime add Korean special sauce on the side, you won't regret it. Ive also had fried dumpling and they were delicious. I cannot wait to go back 10/10 food worth the wait. Pro tip: order online to skip line

    Original Chicken tenders, fries (could have chosen rice), salad (coleslaw) and sweet and spicy sauce.
    Wendy T.

    Really good food! Lots of variety in styles of chicken and sauces. The teriyaki chicken bowl was tasty, with lots of fresh veggies, good white rice, and a flavorful sauce. The chicken tenders were perfectly breaded and fried. The fries were good. The coleslaw was just lightly dressed, which was just right. The sweet and spicy sauce started sweet and ended spicy. Drinks were in a beverage fridge. Standard wait time was 20 minutes, which was fine with us. Inside was nicely decorated and the explanation at the counter good. Already planning a return visit! Will probably pre-order on the website and pickup next time.

We ordered: The Crazy Cuban Sandwich The Chicken Guy Classic Sandwich Bacon Mac n Cheese Burger Flavortown Fries Chocolate Whiskey Cake My favorites were the fries and the cake. The fries have this incredible seasoning and are cooked perfectly. The cake is decadent and tastes a lot like a coke cake, very moist and velvety. My husband enjoyed the Cuban and Bacon Mac N Cheese Burger a lot! I tasted the Bacon Mac N Cheese burger and there was just too much going on for my taste. There is lots of everything on it, but the meat tasted chargrilled which I liked. The one let down was the chicken sandwich. I've been into chicken sandwiches lately so I was really looking forward to this one and it was way over cooked to the point of being super hard and dry. I literally took two bites and threw the rest away. Overall it was a good experience, it is quite spendy for fast food but I figure it's worth it for fast food done right!
