Korean fried chicken & Champagne with caviar-topped nuggets

































"Hard-to-get-into Flatiron restaurant Coqodaq is making it easier for people to get its fancified Korean fried chicken: its casual offshoot CQDQ is now available for third-party deliveries through Uber Eats and DoorDash. The delivery menu includes the Bucket List, its fried chicken meal with a mess of pieces, including a choice of glazes, along with banchan, plus spicy tteokbokki, chicken and curry, and mac and cheese. CQDQ debuted at the U.S. Open, where it offered chicken nuggets and crispy chicken sandwiches." - Nadia Chaudhury

"Presented in the first episode as a fried chicken restaurant, I observed COQODAQ illustrating the Guide’s openness to casual, scrappy, and energetic spots—places that are friendly, fun, and driven by chefs pushing for consistency and a clear personality on the plate." - Michael He

"Its caviar-topped chicken nuggets — which debuted over a year ago — sparked a round of buzz when Katie Holmes chowed down on them courtside at the U.S. Open, proving that, at this tournament, the $100 fancy fried-chicken bite can outshine the Honey Deuce." - Melissa McCart

"Sleek yet cavernous and from the Cote team, this place rode the same wave of theatrical dining, favoring playful, social‑media‑ready flourishes over understatement." - Korsha Wilson

"I noted that an episode featuring restaurateur Simon Kim and chef SK Kim of the Korean fried chicken restaurant Coqodaq was honored with a 2025 New York Emmy Awards nomination." - Eater Staff
