Food is so good we got the family pack which came with seafood and wings but you can choose what you want. The only thing I didn’t like is they don’t check on you after you your food. Other than that great atmosphere and close to subway.

This is my favorite location to visit. Service is always good, it’s spacious enough to feel like you’re not sitting on top of the next group, bathrooms are kept clean, and the wait has never been long the times I’ve visited. Food is bought out to the table when dinning in within 20 min (and that’s a wild guess – if that long). I also like the kiosk for ordering so it gives room place your order and sort the menu at the same time. I usually order the garlic soy wings, they’re so good. Once I made a mistake and ordered them plain and they were still amazing without the sauce! Get the high ball you won’t be disappointed. It’s a tease of alcohol and soda for the tongue but don’t expect to get drunk (I mean it’s $3 come on!). Another great try is the egg and bacon fried rice. I didn’t think I’d like it but I do so on occasion I skip the truffle fries and go for it. Chicken tenders are grilled and then sauced which I like the grilled taste. I tried them in both soy garlic and the I can’t remember the flavor – it’s new there – but it’s along the lines of like a BBQ but do try it! So many great things on this menu I can go on for days but please go try for yourself. Order small, save money. The wings are a great size, not tiny pandemic chicken. I promise. Hope you enjoy your meal there if you go

Maybe my expectations for “Korean fried chicken” were a bit too high, tasted nothing like it – the batter was hardened, it was too salty and not much original flavor to it. Garlic noodles were dry, cream cheese inside jalapeno poppers felt almost store bought. Cajun seafood was actually alright. They had terra which was awesome.

This was a random find for us. We ate in. NOTE: everything is electronic! We didn’t realize that you seat yourself then scan the QR code to order so we stood around waiting for people. Essentially it’s a ghost kitchen. Order and pay online or through their take out kiosk and they bring you the food. We did the wings and drums combo which was delicious. A bit salty but good! We also ordered the garlic parm fries which were so good! We sat inside and it was like a disco (techno music and lights that “danced” to the beat. Didn’t realize they also have an adorable outdoor space in the back! It was good food – definitely would go back.

I can’t believe I haven’t been here and live right by! I’m so glad there’s a good Korean Fried chicken spot in the East Village! Their fried chicken is definitely tasty and flavorful! Better than most places! I love the different flavors–spicy and soy garlic.

Efficient online or kiosk ordering. The wings were quite good. A perfect amount of crunch and juicy meat with great flavors. Would recommend the back patio area! Would come back! Service was excellent

You can’t just wing everything in life, especially with Korean fried chicken, the source and quality of your chicken matters. Koko’s Korean wings are not only crispy and finger lickin on the outside but juicy on the inside! The chicken is minimally greasy as well, which allowed me to eat as many as I liked without feeling sick, I even bought some more soy garlic wings to go! We tried the combo, it was super delicious, the spicy wings were actually spicy!! The truffle crispy chicken salad is my all time favorite salad! I mean look at the greens!! Super fresh and crisp. Who knew adding truffle oil to a salad could work? The chicken was extremely crispy too, usually when I order a crispy chicken salad, it’s not crispy… but not at Koko’s, their crispy chicken is ACTUALLY crispy! We loved their kimchi burrito. Instead if regular kimchi fried rice, kimchi burrito is a quick and easy alternative to munch with you hands. Especially if you’re already ripping apart your delicious wings with your hands. Their tteokboki was topped with crispy calamari. Chewy rice cakes simmered in sweet savory spicy sauce!! It’s heaven. I don’t know anyone who doesn’t like this dish honestly. They also have some amazing housemade iced teas. We tried their lemon and peach, I know you’re thinking lemon iced tea is basic…. Not at Kokos!!! Their lemon iced tea is crisp and refreshing, the lemon does not taste artificial at all either. I would say it’s the best lemon iced tea we ever had. We also got the peach iced tea, it was also sweet and refreshing, honestly thinking about it rn makes me crave it more, especially in this heat. They also have boozy drinks if you wanna bring it up a notch. Soju is always fun with friends!! Stop by their location and hangout in one of their swings located in their private outdoor seating in the back, or check out their Upper West Side location! We shall be back really soon!!

DO NOT BE DECEIVED BY THE HIGH RATINGS! THE NEW MENU IS 2 STARS AT BEST. Have been a long time customer of this place before the summer. I thought I’d come back here after the summer. The restaurant changed its menu completely and stop serving classic Korean foods and pivots to seafood and fried chicken. To my dismay, just after 4 months of being away, the service here became outrageous and the food is also mediocre at best.

I’ve been here many times and this was the first time I have ever been disappointed. The quality of the chicken has gone down significantly in only a few months. The chicken wings and drumsticks used to be larger, juicy, delicious and full of meat. You would be able to literally eat the entire thing off the bone. Now, the chicken wings and drumsticks are so much smaller, the taste of the chicken is not as good as before and it’s far more oily. Also, it’s now mainly breading, not meat. This used to be our favorite place for wings and sadly that has now changed. I hope they can get their quality back. On the plus side the truffle fries and fried dumplings are still delicious.
