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. Also-- if you are big in spicy, must order the buldak chicken to share! It's cheesy on top and it's mixed with chicken, onions and rice cakes. We also ordered their fried dumplings and, sweet potato fries and Koko salad. The salad was different than anything I've had because of their pineapple dressing. It's pretty good and refreshing! Don't forget their ongoing drink promotion now too! I tried their Lychee Cocktail Soju and it was exactly what I needed for the night! Perfect to pair with Korean food! Check out my other food adventures on @nycfoodiebabe!

Completely satisfied with the wings. Staff was friendly. Interior looked clean. Fast casual dining. Great menu to choose from. Nothing was too overwhelming. Nothing that really wowed me or went over the top. The lunch special looks amazing! Be sure to get there by 3:30pm! We ordered the half and half. Half regular and half soy/ garlic. Also came with a side of rice. 8 wings for $11.95 plus tax was about $13. Great snack if you’re looking for Korean wings in the area.

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.

This place was very nice restaurant. I got the wings, seaweed salad, and seafood pancake. All three were delicious. The spicy wings were just spicy enough to take a sip of water but still very enjoyable. Staff were very friendly. 10/10 recommend.

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!!

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.

Chicken wings are the best! We can speak highly of how the wings are very crispy and juicy. Bibimbap is also delicious! You got to try their truffle fries, the mango sauce added a unique taste to it. 😊

Oh my goodness. Wings are perfect. So good. The perfect crisp. Guys in the store are super nice too. They use vegetarian diet fed chicken according to their menu. The lunch special is a great deal as well

Sooooo good . Had this spot on my first day in NY at a chance . It had my name it naturally had to be good lol . I got the combo with eggs and crabs and I know I set a standard of taking pictures but the food was TOOOOO GOOD . The service impeccable and the ambiance I didn't get a real chance to gander at because I picked up . What I will say is that the food was fresh and ready in a shorter time than when I originally anticipated . If you are on a date and in a cute dress buckle up because everything is slurpy and well seasoned . Crab breath could be a deal breaker or an attraction LMAOOOOOOO . I would definitely spend my money here again ! Until next bite

I love korean fried chicken, so i really wanted to love this place too. But mannnn, unfortunately the regular fried chicken wings, although juicy and crispy, were waaay over salty which was disappointing. If i only ordered those, I'd give Koko a 3, but the soy garlic wings redeemed a star for me. Those were amazing! No extra salt, just a well crisped wing with great flavor from the sauce. If I were to order again, I'd only get the sauced chicken wings due to the disappointment from the regular chicken wings. Still, if i was around E village and wanted wings, I'd come back again!

Stumbled upon this place while exploring the neighborhood and it was a great find! The ambience is chill with a fun leaf wall and rubber chickens (I don't know why but I love it). You order your food through a QR code, which is cool and efficient, but it also means there's not much service. I had to go up to the counter to ask for water, which was a bit annoying. But hey, the food is cheap and delicious! My chicken was crispy and perfectly sauced. Definitely a good place to go to when you are looking to save money!

Went with the 20 wings option with all soy garlic sauce. It was unfortunately so dry and such small wing/drumstick pieces that barely tasted like they had the sauce on them. I was hoping for a better experience but it was not very warm when we got it delivered and all the wings we ate were very dry, sadly. We also got a side of fried rice and I was so disappointed in the rice. It was so soft and mushy and didn't taste like good fried rice.

Love the chicken at Koko Wings! I usually get the chicken strips. The pieces of chicken are really big and tender with a crisp skin. The soy garlic sauce is really great, with plenty of flavor. The spicy chicken is a little too spicy for me. The most recent time we got takeout, they also included some soy garlic dumplings for free. It was a nice surprise when we opened the takeout bag. The dumplings were very tasty with a crispy shell. Overall, great korean fried chicken place in East Village!

Tasty dumplings. Crispy Korean style wings. Accurate & prompt delivery. So sorry they closed.

We went here to get my partner while we tried a new laundromat further from us as she needed a load done before a work trip. The self service is self-explanatory and the food great: My partner over-ordered and so I dined on her leftovers the next day while I took care of her pets. We went in here because their sanitary inspection grade taped to the window rated higher than Atomic Wings's, which is older and on the same block. Just wish their takeout containers were recyclable.

Raphael P.

Yelp
Ordered delivery. Man these wings were so dry on the inside but also had little to no soy garlic sauce on the outside as well. Which was unfortunate cause the pictures looked so good. There are a lot of great Korean fried chicken wing options in NYC, and these just weren't on the same level as the other options. Ordering elsewhere next time I am craving Korean fried chicken.

Ordered delivery on door dash and only ONE mozzarella stick had cheese in it... the rest looked like the photo. Kimchi jeon was a soggy mushy gross mess

Hidden gem in east village! We got the half spicy and half soy garlic chicken. The chicken was crispy and it had a lot of flavor on the outside, probably could use a little more on the inside, but it was good. We also got the Bulgogi Bibimbap and that was really good. The beef was really flavorful and tender. Good place for a Korean food fix!

Yelp
If it is not obvious by now, my favorite fried chicken is most definitely delicious, perfectly crunchy, light crisp Korean Fried Chicken. I am so delighted to discover Koko in the East Village. They are also on the Upper Westside. We ordered the drums, half spicy & half soy garlic. Both were very, very good and hit the spot, with sides of kimchi and radish to compliment the spice factor and crunchy chicken. Very friendly staff, owner. Cozy minimal decor with cute chicken posters on the walls, plus good music playing in the background. Koko is known for being the "Best Korean Fried Chicken with Soul" and I agree. Koko also serves Bulgogi Bibimbap, Seafood pancakes, Gun Mandu (Dumplings), Parmesan Fries, Sweet potato fries, Crispy Garlic fries, Soon Tofu Udon, etc amongst other things which we've yet to try. Yes, of course, I will be back. Yum! ** delivery + take-out available ** ***Open Tuesday - Thursday 12:30 - 10:30, Friday - Saturday 12:30 until 11pm, Sunday until 10pm, Closed on Mondays *** ***Various Soju, Beers, and soft drinks available ***

Hot wings were flavored heavily with a cayenne sweetness and very spicy that hits you quickly, intensifies and disappears, almost as quickly. Soy garlic is simple with the same crispy double fried hard shell. We shared a large order of truffle fries and I'd never thought I'd say this- they were over fried. My friend said it's possibly the batter but either way... these subtly truffled here and there fries were sorta a tad hard casing all around and it becomes a bit heavy to chew. I know it sounds crazy that's even possible but while I'm 10/10 for crispy goodness esp in fries... this was just a tad over. The haemul pajun we shared looked drab n cakey but was actually very pleasant. This is a great spot to realize all your deep fried dreams and have a rather extensive Korean food selection in the back pages.

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. You are charged for water and there is absolutely 0 service other than delivering food, I feel like I'm literally eating a takeout at a restaurant and everything was ordered through an online portal. Funnily enough, when I asked about why they don't serve water, I said that I don't have to give them tips after I've already ordered After I paid for the water, one of the bottom arrived with 1/4 of it gone and the cap has been opened. I have not seen anything this ridiculous even out of a restaurant in NYC. Also, the revamped menu is very mediocre. Can't believe they charge $11 for plain pasta with garlic powder and literally no oil. The signature fried chicken also tastes very not ideal. This place is completely different from the last time I've visited. Just feels like the original store got bought out and now the new owners don't know what they are doing.

I think I made a mistake in getting the strips. We ordered the half and half soy garlic and spicy strips and we got the truffle fries. The truffle fries with the mango sauce was definitely interesting and tasty. The price was pretty steep though. The strips prices increased a lot from the menu I saw last year. They give less pieces and charge more now ($19 for 10 strips when in 2020 it was $17 for 12). The strips had good flavor but I wish they had more sauce on it and had that distinct crisp you get when you have Korean fried drum sticks or wings. I would rate it a 3 but I'll give it a 4 due to my mistake in not choosing the wings or drumsticks.

Justin T.

Yelp
Ordered take-out on a rainy evening. 20 pc soy garlic wings and a bulgogi bibimbap ran us up to $41.26. The wings were good- nice and crispy double fried Korean style goodness, except the soy garlic sauce was a tad too sweet for my liking- not garlicky enough. Near the last few wings the overwhelming sweetness was making us slightly nauseous Bc of tastebud overload. The bulgogi bibimbap was solid. Will probably stay away from the soy garlic sauce next time I order, or get some hot spicy ones to mix it up so that it's not just sugary sweetness.

Yelp
Sometimes it pays to be nice. I went here because my wife likes Korean chicken wings, figuring I'd just be a martyr and have some rice while she enjoyed herself. Well luckily that didn't go as planned. The delicious Crispy Tofu salad and yummy fries were both available with truffle oil, so it's a toss up as to who enjoyed their lunch more!

Do not order on Uber eats they say one buy get one free. But if u click 2 order they will charge you twice. Also the phone is not working I already filled a complaint on Uber eats they will kick them out. This BUSINESS IS NOT GOOD FOR THE PEOPLE. Scammer. Don't ever support this business. CHECK UBER EATS KOKO 1 st ave you'll see.

Called restaurant for delivery status when delivery did not arrive in stated time. Restaurant phone message stated they do not accept calls!!!????Had to reach out to seamless as a result. They initially cancelled the order because they couldn't even reach the restaurant! Food arrived 30 minutes later. Terrible!!!PS: food was good, delivery service horrible.

This place is so good! I stopped by with a few of my friends to try out their lunch special, which was $9.95 for 6 wings, 3 drumsticks, or 6 strips with your choice of flavor and a side! I ended up getting a 6-wing combo with soy garlic and some coleslaw and I was pleasantly surprised at how delicious it was. The peach iced tea was super refreshing and perfect for a hot, summer day. They also have a really cute outdoor seating area in the back that accommodates social distancing. Because it was 85+ degrees, the workers even brought out a fan and lit up some citronella candles for us! Overall, great food and great service - would definitely stop by again.

Fried chicken wings and drumsticks are dry af. Skins are crispy but flavors are off. Would never go back.

I came here yesterday with my friends since we were all hungry and noticed they had a cute backyard patio for us to dine in! The staff was extremely nice and were super accomodating with us. They noticed that there were a lot of mosquitos and brought out some bug repellent candles so that we'd have a more pleasant dining experience. As for pricing, their $10 lunch special deal was a bargain as food can be pricey in the city. We also got the some peach iced tea which were extremely refreshing in that 90 degree weather. Overall, the staff and food is amazing! Would definitely come back again when I'm around the area.

Walking by on a Saturday afternoon and stumbled upon this newest outpost of this wing stop. Wanted to try the one in the UWS but this place seems easier to get to and has a back seating area to boot. Wasn't actually all that hungry, so thankfully they have options for smaller meals. Decided on the 4-piece drumsticks ($12) to go along with a draft beer ($3). They let you mix and match the flavors in the chicken - which allowed me to try both the original and soy garlic options. While the garlic had a nice sweet/tangy flavor that paired with the chicken well, I really liked the original better. Tastes like a simple battered chicken with the right amount of spices. On top of the cheap draft beer, the server gave me the homemade iced tea on the house (perfect given the hot summer day) - a refreshing and balanced sweet drink. Overall clean and efficient spot with a solid menu. Hopefully get to come back for the wings.

wings were terrible. They looked amazing but lacked flavor. I do not recommend. Ratings are high but I'm not sure how.

We were looking for a place with spacious enough outdoor seating (not too comfortable with some sidewalk setups in the area). This place had a sign about a backyard space so we checked it out (approved by the family; we were just being cautious). Anyway, we really liked the crunchy tasty chicken wings here. Spicy was good for me which matched with brown rice. The combo comes with a side so chose bacon egg fried rice. Everything else we ordered was good - bulgogi burger, chicken burger meal, truffle fries. Great service. Will certainly return.

Justine K.

Yelp
I was craving Korean fried chicken and Koko Wings knocked it out of the park! My friends and I came here for lunch and we were seated in the backyard patio. It was a cute setup - hanging lights and umbrellas. We ordered iced peach teas, soy garlic and spicy Korean fried chicken wings, soon tofu soups, and bulgogi burgers. Everything tasted really good, but our favorite was the wings - they were just the right amount of crispiness and sauciness/flavor. The staff was also friendly and they constantly checked on us to see if we were okay/if we needed anything. I will definitely be returning!

Wendy C.

Yelp
Came here on a Saturday evening for a double date and it was great! I love the fact that they have a back patio so we didn't have to sit in the middle of a crowded street filled with cars and people. It was decorated minimally, but very sweet, nonetheless. The hanging lights they turned on when it got a little darker gave the patio a whimsical feel. The staff were all super friendly and attentive! They made sure we had our drinks in a timely manner and was always around when we needed them! The food also came out pretty quickly. It's a Korean fried chicken place, so we obviously ordered fried chicken. We got the large fried chicken combo (half spicy and half soy garlic), japchae, seafood pancake, and mozzarella chicken katsu. They were all pretty tasty (though they could've been a teeny bit more seasoned)! It was not packed at all. In fact, we were the only ones! I personally loved it, but also believe this awesome restaurant deserves more business. So definitely stop by if you're around the area and want some peace and quiet away from the loud, crowded streets! I, myself, would definitely stop by again

Been craving korean fried chicken for a while now! They have outdoor dining tables in the front and the back of the store. The back patio had really pretty lights that would be very cute at night. Service was great - especially knowing how difficult it is to serve customers outside. They constantly checked up on us to make sure we weren't waiting on them whenever we needed something. Came in during the lunch special and ordered wings, drumsticks, truffle oil fries, a Sapporo and a peach iced tea. The soy wings were really good and tender. The truffle oil fries came with a mango sauce and it did not disappoint. Total came out to be $38 with tip and tax. They offer a discount if you pay with cash! Really recommend if you are in the area!

I love this place the price is amazing the drinks are awesome. I got the soju and literally was heaven. The garlic fries with mango sauce is the best combo. Interesting ordering concept.

Devon C.

Yelp
I've been looking for a good Korean chicken place for a while and I think I found a new favorite! Definitely different from the other typical Korean chicken places. Bigger portions as well as tastier. I didn't think there would be enough but we ended up completely stuffing ourselves so definitely a good bang for the buck.

Michele B.

Yelp
Ordered the Shaking 2 combo thru DOORDASH and requested medium spice...totally inedible. I may as well have smothered cayenne pepper on my lips...could not taste any other flavors. When I tried to contact the restaurant directly...full voicemail and direction to their website to place orders only. Truly disappointing...would not try again or recommend. DOORDASH was able to refund to my satisfaction. But the point of ordering is to anticipate and then enjoy your meal.

Dasom K.

Yelp
Meh. Ordered wings and truffle oil fries and none were worth of my money. I could smell old oils from chicken and fries were soggy. If you wanna try Korean style chicken, try bonchon or pericana, not here ‍

Annie C.

They had the best soy garlic wings in the city! Great service and cheap drinks! Definitely a great spot to hangout

Constance Z.

Yelp
I'm obsessed with the chicken and beer at Koko Wings! I normally cannot drink beer and hate the taste of it, but the beer here is magical and sweet. I have never had anything like it. The service was also amazing and everyone is so sweet and kind. Will definitely be coming back!

Guy D.

Yelp
This place is an innovative place to dine. ALL SERVICE is done digitally which was surprisingly satisfying. The food was incredible and the price was outstanding! The seafood boil and soy garlic chicken wings have become our family's favorite. The atmosphere seemed to echo a minimalist garden concept which gave you the feel of hanging out and eating in a nice garden. The bonus for the meal was the seasonal soju drink called the hi ball the drink was refreshing and strong! I would definitely go here for lunch or dinner.

Richard L.

Yelp
I got the $11 lunch special + $3 blood orange ice tea. The chicken was delicious--sweet and crispy on the outside. The value is unbeatable. I'd come back again.

Rose L.

Yelp
These wings would be a 5 if they brined the chicken. The guy working was really nice, the order was ready quickly, the restaurant itself looks really cute, and the coating is incredibly crunchy and STAYS crunchy, even after sitting in the box for a while! The only thing is that the chicken meat itself tastes unseasoned under the coating, which is a pet peeve of mine with chicken, bc the coating is the only thing giving the chicken flavor. The truffle fries are delicious and surprisingly not that greasy, and the spicy sauce has a good kick to it and a good balance of flavor - not too sweet, not too salty.

Burnt chicken, not that good I wouldn't come here maybe try something else, fried chicken or anything but its bad.

Mike L.

Yelp
Not much to say, everything I've ordered from here has been great. Must tries: - Original or soy-garlic bone-in/boneless wings. They're all great. - Kimchi burrito with bulgogi. This actually worked deliciously. - Bulgogi burger meal (two bulgogi sliders with cheese, comes with fries). You can really put bulgogi on anything and it'd hit. - Their fried rice sides are also pretty good if you're into that stuff. If you decide to eat-in, they have big ass windows so you'll feel the ventilation.

Could Koko Wings be the best fried chicken in all of New York City? Maybe. But this is a big city, and fried chicken is big deal here. And by no means is fried chicken a singular sensation, experience, or flavor and textural profile. Some like it hot, naked, and extra crispy. Others, not so much. Fried chicken is as diverse and steeped in gastronomique history and tradition as the very hands who nurture and prepare the golden delicious birds for our nourishment. So we should just agree that the fried chicken bucket is a big ol bucket, and there is plenty o room for the vast crispity, crunchity, and finger lickin' (wash your hands!) truths available here in NYC; consider us blessed. And many a chicken connoisseur know that when someone says KFC, they might very well mean "Korean Fried Chicken" - as Koreans are some of the best bird fryers in this modern culinary world. Being from Los Angeles, and having lived many years in its famed Koreatown, I enjoyed many ice cold steins of Hite bear at the infamous Korean tavern OB Bear, known for their whole bird, drumstick, and wing preparations of fried chicken, complete with refreshing banchan and kimchi. I also witnessed the birth of Kyonchon Chicken, a fast casual food chain that was responsible for sharing KFC with much of Los Angeles. And so when I tried Koko Wings the other night, I was immediately transported to these favorite fried chicken havens of my past. Koko breaks away from the trope popular in this city among Korean Fried Chicken purveyors of big pieces and heavy sauces, and instead focuses on preparing smaller, vegetarian-diet-fed chickens with a restraint and touch that results in airy, buoyant pieces of chicken that shatter tenderly between your teeth with each mouth-watering bite. Each piece is cooked to perfection, with no signs of excessive grease or fat (are these air fried? I thought to myself), and leave your palette open to enjoying some of the well-done sides, like radish kimchi, coleslaw, or a seaweed salad. Complete the fried chicken trifecta with an ice cold pint of Kloud or Coors Light, Sapporo, Asahi, or rice beer (makgeolli), or even some soju. (Pitchers are served here!) There is also an intimate and exclusive backyard patio for your fried chicken adventure, too. The menu is expansive, and offers other unfried options. You can dine indoors, outside, pick up, or order delivery, and their website direct ordering system is clear, convenient, and very easy to use. Finally, servers are all safe and respectful, caring and attentive. The place is lovely. So when you're itchin' for some fried chicken, and have decided that you want some KFC, consider Koko Wings for your next adventure. I do believe you will be rewarded for your curiosity and excitement.

Let's start out by saying how kind they were.My friend and I had just come from another place that we left early because we were not being treated nice at all. Anyways, we found koko wings and they were so welcoming and friendly which is especially appreciated after the treatment we got earlier in the day from another place. They made sure we were comfortable where we were seated and all.The backyard seating was really nice and the food and iced tea were extremely good.I am a fan of the Shumai and the the korean chicken(very flavorful) and the iced tea was perfect for me(not too sweet but not bitter which I love)!I definitely can not wait to come back again because I had a really good experience here from the treatment I got from the workers to the food!Thanks Koko wings for such a lovely dining experience! I already was thinking about having my birthday here next month because this was sincerely one of the best dining experiences I had in a long time(and the place is beautiful)!Again, I can not wait to come back!

She was so nice and honestly I want to come back and give her all money ! Haven't met somebody working in the Resturant business so sweet and polite ! Definitely Will will come back here !

I was lucky enough to visit Koko Wings with @to_eat_list tonight. OMG!! It was so good!!! There are so many favourites I'll be dreaming about tonight including the Cajun Seafood, Soy Garlic Korean Fried Chicken and the selection of appetizers, If you're in the neighbourhood (or not) be sure to check it out!!

Arjuna M.

I came here for lunch and got the soy garlic wings with a side of kimchi bacon fried rice. The moment I sat down J was craving something bacon-y and fatty and the fried rice definitely satisfied that, and the wings tasted great. If I came back, I'd definitely like to try a different flavor of wings! Our server was attentive, if not slightly overly attentive, but J appreciated the service!

I came to Koko Wings after having a terrible experience at a restaurant called "Short stories". I called Koko Wings 30 minutes in advance to see if I needed to make reservations since it was a Saturday and every where is usually pretty busy. When I called the phone was answered by the nicest lady and she told me that I didn't need to make any reservations and that I can just walk in since it wasn't busy at that time. Once we arrive the employees were all so nice! They took my friend and I to the back, where they had backyard seating ! It was so pretty, everything was pretty much white with lights. We actually had the backyard to ourselves for a while since no one was really there at the time, which was really shocking. The waiter opened the table umbrella for us because she saw that it was starting to get sunny. Basically, she was so very nice and honestly that was the best treatment that my friend and I have ever encountered in life at a restaurant. Anyways, my friend and I both ordered the 8 piece wings half Spicy and half soy garlic! Let me tell you!!! The chicken was SO GOOD. It was super crispy yet extremely favorful. It was just marinated SO well. The spicy chicken was actually SPICY. I also got a side of white rice which went really well with the chicken. They also have a brown rice option which is good for those who are trying to eat a little healthier. For my drink I got a peach Koko iced tea with more sweetness and it was absolutely AMAZING. I TOTALLY RECOMMEND everyone and their mama come here because it's so worth it. Friendly Staff + Amazing food = pure happiness !! 10/10

My quest to finding a quality Korean friend chicken place is finally fulfilled. The chicken is crispy and moist and could tell they used quality meat as no strange fat or easy separation of the skin and meat. The soy garlic chicken was also nicely flavoured.

Ordered takeout through uber rays. Packed well and good portions. Got the spicy chicken and bugolgi bibimbaps, spicy crab salad, combo wings or original crispy and soy garlic. The bibimbap was very good with lots of veggies and a fried egg. I loved the spicy crab cucumber salad but be aware that it's spicier than the actual bibimbap! The chicken was good. Comparable to others I've had such as Mad for Chicken. Liked the soy garlic more than original crispy. Reasonable prices. Would recommend and will have again when craving Korean

The drinks are good. I love lights and alcohol lol no grade posted which is worrisome. Outdoor seating is cute.

I went in and ordered a small order for pickup. When I got home and opened my box there were pre eaten wings in there.. it was clear someone has eaten some of the wings and put the mostly eaten remnants in with the order. Really gross and off putting.
