We recently had Koko Wings for a baby shower at work so, I decided to have it again for lunch today. And as per usually it did not disappoint. Today I had the lunch special which consist of 6 pieces soy garlic wings with sweet potato fries and honey mustard on the side. I placed a preorder and it came in the time frame it said it was going to come. Everything from here is delicious. From the chicken and the different flavors to the truffle fries, the rice bowls, spicy Chicken Kimchi Burrito, etc. Def a place to check out next time you're in the city! read more

We arrived here on a Friday night looking for food to eat on the UWS. Located near Columbia university, it can get packed with undergraduate students looking to satisfy their craving for Korean fried chicken. There is not a ton of seating here, there is one table for a party of 6/7 but other than that it can get crowded real fast. They specialize primarily in their chicken, which is definitely quite lovely. My friends and I ordered one soy garlic large wings with a side of fries, and for the both of us being quite hungry, we were able to quickly devour it. The soy garlic wings were quite solid. It took about 15 mins for it to come out and they were nice and crispy. I was a big fan, maybe I was just hungry and needed something to satisfy my cravings but regardless, my friends and I quickly went through these wings. I think if coming here, it can get quite crowded so it might be worth to order ahead and grab this to go unless you are with a party of two. The service is quite nice. They provide plenty of napkins and wet wipes expecting you to get quite messy when eating these wings. Will be coming back should I have another craving for Korean fried chicken read more

I think the service here is great! The place is small but I always end up finding a Table. The chicken is goooood. It's crispy and meaty and my favorite flavor is the soy garlic and bbq. You get a free side. They also give you a cup of miso soup on the house when you sit down. It hits the spot and taste delicious. The kimchi coleslaw is delicious and spicy. The sweet potato fries and spicy mayo are a good combo. The two times I have been I only see women working but they are a great team. The Korean pancakes were good and so were the jalapeño poppers. The rice cakes were my fave. Def a good spot to eat some chicken. read more

Koko Wings - Upper West Side (106th St) Stumbled upon this tiny, cozy spot today while wandering on 106th & Broadway. First time inside, and I loved it! The staff was super friendly--she even brought me soup and water while I waited. The miso was perfect! Ordered the lunch special--6 wings and rice--and also took home 14 wings (drumettes and flats). The wings? Crispy, salty, and so good I dipped them in ranch for the first time ever--game changer. The inside was tender, and the crispy exterior was . The rice was warm and fluffy, and the dark chopsticks were a cool touch. Definitely coming back to try their spicy hot barbecue! Great solo lunch spot--highly recommend. 5 stars from me! read more

I needed to grab some lunch and so I figured why not walking in the neighborhood over to Koko wings. I really enjoy Korean fried chicken and so I ordered the chicken strips with soy and garlic sauce. I must say that it was so delicious. The chicken was perfectly fried. Not all hard and petrified.. And the flavor was amazing. I had that along with some brown rice. The staff was very nice, kind and accommodating. As far as the ambience, it's a small eatery with about five or six tables. They have some cool K-pop playing in the background at a comfortable level. When I think of Korean fried chicken, I think of K-Town downtown in Manhattan. But I am so glad that we have this great option on the Upper West Side . I no longer have to go downtown for my KFC! So if you're looking for some great Korean fried chicken on the Upper West Side, this is your go to spot! Thank me later Have a great one y'all ! -Ray read more

Koko Wings - Wing or 2 - Korean Near Me - New York, New York

A standard hole in the wall fried chicken joint. It's good for students and people looking to grab a quick bite. The staff were kind but seemed to forget about our presence a few times while we were there. Everything at the restaurant was a bit sticky (menus, floors, tables, etc.), but perhaps part of this was because we took over another party's table before someone was able to step in and clean the area. The food itself was alright. The soy garlic sauce was sweet but not overly sweet. The spicy chicken wasn't very spicy but still enjoyable. The rice that I got as a side was the perfect consistency--sticky and not dry. The parmesan fries were disappointing; they were far too salty and should likely have been served with ketchup. We were given bowls of miso soup on the side--loved the soup. I may come back here again, but I wouldn't recommend the place to anyone looking for a standout fried chicken place. read more

The best kfc in the neighborhood and definitely my new go-to spot! I've been getting the bbq chicken from hmart nearby, but it's nothing compared to these wings.

I don't even write reviews often but this place having a 3.7 rating is not representative. Food: This place has awesome wings. I haven't had anything else. But if you want Korean fried wings, these are bomb. So is the mango sauce. Only complaint is that the spicy garlic soy chicken is just insanely spicy so I can't order it. But they have the regular soy garlic so it's fine, just wish I could have the spicy garlic without it being quite that spicy. But the new spicy honey bbq is awesome. If you want Korean wings. 5 stars. Price: No it's not cheap. But the food isn't quality. The wings are big, but technically you pay for a piece of a a wing, not a whole wing. Like you get some wing drum sticks and some of the flats with 2 bones. But they are big. Never eaten there so i can't speak on the service. I live in the neighborhood and will be sad if they close so let's be honest and say this place does a great job. read more

Holy crap. This place is delicious. I've never had better fried chicken. I like to get half soy and half original and I like the strips because you don't deal with bones. It came with a small miso soup and a side. I got the kimchi coleslaw which is 10/10. Don't miss out on that. The radish is also good. The mango sauce is bomb. And the price is so fair. Thank you koko wings for feeding me so well! I love you. read more

Had I lived in the area, I would never be able to maintain a healthy diet because I would always order from here. Great ambiance, great service, great food, and great drinks! I seriously love this restaurant. I would gatekeep it if possible! read more

3/5 Pros: Very very sweet service. The man that took our order was really attentive and they were also super busy with to go orders. Cone; The food was a little bit salty. The stone hot bibimbap was not burnt on the bottom which is really the point of having a stone hot bibimbap. was disappointed w that. The meat in this was also kind of chewy which I didn't love The seafood pancake was really really crispy on the bottom, the flavor was kind of lacking. The japchae was very oily as well. Good service decent korean food. Kind of meant for a fast eat to fill up your stomach! read more

Came here on a rainy day...the restaurant is very quaint and cozy! Honestly, I think this place is underrated when it comes to Korean Fried Chicken. We ordered the half and half combo with soy garlic and hot and spicy (some wings/some drumsticks). The crunch factor was unreal and the soy garlic sauce was heavenly for me (just wished there was a little more sauce on the wings). The hot and spicy was also good but be ready for some real spice. The wings were not greasy at all which I really appreciated. Definitely do NOT forget to get the kimchi coleslaw - it was perfection! Overall, it was not the best fried chicken I've had in NYC, but definitely a good one time visit! read more

Oh my. Im writing this review as im eating the food I just got. (Takeout.) I'm so so disappointed. This place is good for wings and that's it. Every time I've ordered other actual dishes, I've had negative experiences. Today I gave it a try again since it's been awhile and ordered tofu stew alongside my chicken combo which i normally order. I rarely say this about places using extreme words but this is just disgusting. The soup is watery, has no flavor and the vegetables are nearly raw! They literally just threw everything in here carelessly. This is offensive to be listed as a Korean food. My hope is that people try this place and NOT assume this is what Korean food is supposed to taste like. I think they need to take these less than mediocre dishes off their menu and just focus on the wings. The wings are flavorful and good, although over the years I've noticed the meat sizes have gotten significantly smaller.... Not sure if I'll order here again. read more

I came with my brother for dinner and ordered their hot spicy and soy garlic wings and drums. We loved how crispy the skin was and how tender and juicy the chicken was. We also had their jalapeño poppers filled with cream cheese and their cheese balls. The cheese balls was kind of sweet and tasted like dessert but in a good way. They have some new drinks such as their mocktail Mango lovers which we both really enjoy and in the Halloween sprite they have Bloody soju. Staff was attentive and friendly. Definitely come and check them out. read more

Ordered 2 lunch specials ($13 each), one with 3 drumsticks (original), and the other 6 wings (spicy) with kimchi coleslaw. Considering that this was a lunch special, it felt really expensive for the amount of food we received (legit sad/disappointed after opening the takeout boxes). We really enjoyed the chicken though. The spicy sauce wasn't that spicy and had a sweetness to it. I prefered the original as it had a nice amount of saltiness. The kimchi coleslaw was a miss as the mayo really overpowered the whole thing. Tldr: Good chicken but expensive. read more

Koko Wings - 2 lunch specials with kimchi coleslaw $13/each (Aug 2022) - Korean Near Me - New York, New York

We live in Brooklyn so when we are in Harlem, which is not very often, we make sure to make a stop for KoKo wangsss! The service is attentive and quick. I don't drink alcohol or any beverages, besides water, but there's something about the water that they serve in this stainless steel carafe, that tastes like they got it from the mountain springs of New York county-ice cold and tasty! It is pretty small inside with about five tables. I think they really could not accommodate large groups, but we were sitting next to table of maybe five people and I think that was the largest table they had. Wings and the kimchi coke slaw ftw...Go here! read more

One of the rudest services in nyc. My entire group was traumatized by the receptionist's attitude and her manner of speaking. There is nothing that great about this place. The table was sticky and the floors messy. Wings were average. I know of many other places for cheaper prices that were much better. Will not step into this place again read more

This is my go to spot for Korean Fried Chicken beating out Bon Chon, Pelicana, and the countless other contenders. I usually order via Uber eats. I cannot recall any issues with any of my countless orders. Thanks to the packaging, the chicken wings always arrive still hot, juicy, and crisp. My favorite is the Soy Garlic which is on the sweet side here. Like I said, the wings themselves are my favorite in the city for the flavor and ratio of chicken to batter. The kimchi and daikon sides are also great but pricey for the portion. The sweet potato fries are good but sometimes soften up by the time they arrive. The other food items are only ok at best except the Kimchi Burrito which I can recommend. I find myself ordering from Koko 4 out of every 5 times I am craving wings and you should too. Maybe just the wings... read more

I absolutely love this place it's one of my go to's , they make amazing wings, best wings I ever had, super crunchy & good sauces. The spicy option can be a little too spicy for me at times but their soy garlic wings are to die for. The service is amazing, they bring me complimentary miso soup everytime and the place is super chill and clean. read more

This place is even better than I remember. The chicken was perfectly done, perfectly crisp. Small, but very friendly restaurant.

Some dearly beloved friends came over and treated us to a dinner by delivery from Koko. The company was exceptional of course -- but if we are to be completely ungrateful, entitled ingrates, the food itself was mediocre. The food is very Americanized Korean, read: overly sweet and gloppy, and where it is spicy, it is spicy in unidimensional, uninteresting ways. I'm not a big KoFC person, but have to acknowledge that the crispy, crusty coating on the chicken was texturally extremely enjoyable, just horribly sweet. The chicken itself -- drumsticks and wings -- was quite bland underneath the good crust. Japchae and bulgogi included a lot of varied vegetable matter, which was wonderful in our book. If they and the kimchi chigae had been half as sweet, we would have enjoyed even more. Spice levels were extremely wimpy by Korean standards. What may kill this restaurant for any Koreans: The kimchi was awful. It's hypersweet, hypofermented, and bland, bland, bland. I know we can do better than this, UWS!!!! read more

This place is the worst. Do not order from here this is the second time in a row I've tried to try them. My food never arrived this time . They use their own delivery drivers and I guess he took my food and went home for the night. read more

Koko Wings has been my covid quarantine beacon of light and hope. But really, delicious korean food that always arrives hot? Amazing If I order through their website and (not uber eats) our order always comes within a half hour PIPING HOT. Uber eats sometimes bundles the order so it arrives warm and usually takes 45 min + Also they have tons of weekday lunch specials until 3.30 My bf gets the 6 piece chicken wings w fries for $9.99 I love the soy garlic chicken burger meal w fries for $10.99 they come w 2 not so little fried chicken burgers (on a nice roll w tomato, arugula and a secret sauce, kind of like in n out sauce) - really delicious! We also got the japche bap which came w rice for $12.95 and yes bulgogi included and delicious as always ! Nice veggies and seasoning. I'd say Koko's is a solid 4.5 stars, maybe loses 0.5 for consistency but if you order from their website it always arrives hot and delicious read more

The worst Korean style chicken I ever had. It's so bad that I had to leave a review. Barely any sauce. The pickled radish is some flavorless pink cabbage looking thing. Should be white cubed radishes. The coleslaw is flavorless with this abnormally thick mayo. Do yourself a favor and go to a real Korean style chicken place. read more

Not tasty at all and the discription of their wings is very misleading . Love Korean food , dislike this place.

Koko Wings is my number 1 korean fried chicken spot in NYC right now. Used to be Kyo Chon at 5th Avenue Midtown East but they've since closed down a year or so ago. I'm reserving the 5 stars to when I finally get to dine in and visit their actual restaurant in UWS but based on my 5-6 Postmates orders, it's been a great experience. Their soy garlic wings are solid in both the taste and how crispy and crunchy it should be. We used to have 2 large orders of soy garlic wings and have also tried out their seafood soon tofu soup and bulgogi rice bowl. The last 2 items were just alright, needs that extra little something kick from other korean restaurants. But the soy garlic wings I'd happily recommend. Oddly, their kimchi leaves something to be desired but their kimchi coleslaw is really good! My only other observation is they're not pretty consistent on the sizes of their wings. They're definitely not cheap plus imagine Postmates pricing so I hope they at least track their regular/loyal customers and note the consistency part. Look forward to actually dining in soon, when things are better! But for now, happy to support! read more

Long overdue review for Koko Wings. We haven't lived in NYC for years but we still think of their chicken frequently and fondly. Koko Wings is a small pocket of Asian deliciousness in the Upper West Side. Seating is limited but service is fast. The bar at the left side is perfect for waiting at during the cold winters. The chicken is so crunchy and tasty. We love (read: gorge on) their spicy wings. It's good enough that it made my wife a fried chicken fan. I'm half Korean and their bibimbap and japchae kept my Korean cravings at bay. Oh man, now I want some... read more

I ordered from here and was disappointed with the service and food. My delivery was through Uber eats which said it would take 15-30 minutes. The store chooses to deliver themselves and it took my food an hour to arrive. When the food arrived it was cold. The wings were fried extremely hard and barely covered in the soy garlic sauce that I ordered. They were very small and bony wings. The japchae was a small portion that was greasy and the vegetables were cut in huge chunks. I will not order from here again. read more

Forgot to take pics until there was only carnage. Fambam finishing up wrecking shop here. What is this sorcery?

Go tonight. read more

Best korean fried chicken in the east coast 100000%. For all the people leaving sub-5 star reviews...why are you going to a place called koko wings and not trying the wings??? The soondooboo jjigae was good, japchae was good, but OMG THE WINGS ARE INCREDIBLE. Everything from the crisp to the spicy sweet ratio to the quality of the chicken is 10/10. The price is also very nice, you can get quite full and have some delicious draft beer for a bargain. The staff is also friendly :-) korea number one read more
