The service is wonderful. Their pieces of chicken are very decently sized compared to similar places. The batter is crunchy and the flavors are very tasty.

Really great service, theyre so kind and respond really fast! The chicken is so good and crispy and moist! The kimchi rice is also good and spicy! The rice cakes are DELICIOUS! THE HONEY BEE WINGS ARE SWEET AND SPICY ITS SO GOOD! Even the starter salad was great!

One more Louisiana style spicy chicken sandwich. You guessed it. I signed their little waiver in order to be able to order their carolina reaper 🌶🌶🌶🌶spice level chicken sandwich 🥪. Boy was it good and hot 🔥. everything went well until it came to get me 4 hours later. Medium level stomach pain 😆😆. but I will do it again haha.. the restaurant cells other items plus beer. could be a cool hangout spot for lunch but cant cuz of COVID.PLEASE FOLLOW ME ON IG @NOW_WE_GRUB & @PRU_MERINO6Help me build a community in which it brings us together through food experiences.Thanks all 🧡

This place is in a hidden corner of a strip mall that is pretty empty. The place is clean and look good. The waitress was great and attentive and super friendly. She took our order and we waited. I had a chicken sandwich at the hot level which shows 3 peppers as the spice level. It was much hotter than that, almost impossible to eat. I eat spicy food but this was almost too much. Good flavor and juicy but still outrageously hot. We didnt ask about this so it was our fault. Apart from that and the place being mostly empty at lunch time was pretty much the only odd thing. If youre not looking for it youll miss it. I would recommend if not for the service alone.

This is my new go to for chicken and beer! This location has a better look and feel than the Cerritos branch. So glad I found this place. OG crispy chicken is great and you cant beat the 99 cent glass of Hite beer. Expect to pay around $11 for 8 PCs of chicken. Service is excellent and the only gripe I had was that our server wasnt that familiar with the menu and deals going on the he had to run back and forth to the manager just to get an answer. Overall though it was a great experience.

This was one of my ‘chicken trial’ day. The menu was hard to accept. It seems they only want you to buy for a gang at prices at over $50-$200 for meals.After asking for just a couple pieces to try, they recommended 5 wings, minimum... $8.50. They won’t sell me 2 wings to try. So, $8.50 it was.And after complicating choice of flavors, I just told them to give me you popular sales.It was MEMORABLE! I returned the following month, driving 30 miles.

Chicken so crispy and surprisingly large pieces! We tried the Sampler with wings, chicken legs, tenders, chicken sandwich + French fries, salad, rice, Daikin. Yum! We tried the original, snow flake, and medium spicy. All rgood flavor, not too messy. The Sampler is a good deal for dinner $32, well be back.

Great place to grab some Korean style fried chicken. Atmosphere is nice considering the location. Boneless chicken is also an option of you are picky like me. Gotta get their waffle fries, best Ive ever had. Nothing beats the real thing in Korea but this gets close.

I really enjoyed this little fried chicken and beer Cafe, which was open late and a great alternative from fast food. I had the crispy chicken platter with honey bee sauce and it was really good. The sauce was delicious, the chicken was juicy inside and there was lots, the fried rice had sesame seeds in it and was really good, and it came with a salad. Im going back to try the other kinds of chicken soon. The service was prompt and cheerful, all in all it was a cute place.

Their fried chicken was amazing with different spice levels. Crispy crunchy and moist. Their beer special is awesome and you really cant go wrong with fried chicken and beer. I recommend this spot to anyone that loves Korean fried chicken and beer.

This Nashville hot chicken was some of the best I’ve ever had. Honestly might rank right at the very top alongside Howlin Rays. Such an incredible crunch and flavor, so well cooked and the extra spicy is very spicy!!

Worst place to visit. This was my first time here and she(manager) declined to take the order without giving any justification. Very bad attitude and rude behavior. I feel that lady decides their offers based on the guests.

Good fried chicken place! They have a lot of flavors you can choose from and you can do half and half for the flavors! However, it took about 30 minutes to get the chicken everytime i went although it was not busy. Honey Bee flavor is really good!

2021-02-26 22:21:46

Awesome place. A bit pricey and sorta a long wait but I can say it is worth it. My wife is very picky with food but she loves the chicken sandwich here. I love it as well. Best chicken sandwich

One of the best wings and chicken spots Ive been to. $1 beers every day plus reasonable prices. Best chicken in my opinion. The staff is really nice and on point. This is my new spot.

The mac n cheese has no taste. They also put mac n cheese on my chicken sandwich. I did not ask nor want that done to it. The garlic soy was good and buffalo was good.

Today was not their best day that is for sure. I gave it a three only because I had it before and it was really good but today I was not acknowledged for 10 mins and my food was wrong. But like I said it was just this time will try again later.b

We had 10pcs of buffalo chicken wing and it tastes good. This is a nice little place which has about 10 different flavors to choose from with wings, drumsticks and fried chicken. Considering this is Korean theme eatery, you will see kimchi in their menu also. Korean atmosphere with k pop songs play on the background and of course choices of soju. Not to worry it also has varieties of bottled beer. Definitely will go here again.

The chicken is amazing. Just be warned, their strips as well as their wings are 2-3 times larger than your standard strips/wings. We ordered way too much food!

I came here 3 times already and im really addicted to this place. Ive never had chicken wings like this place. I thought churches chicken had good chicken but GOD DAMN this chicken made me go tell others about this place referring them to come here to try the half and half with the chicken sandwich. Id give this place 10 stars if I could.

My chicken from Kokio, it makes me see.My chicken from Kokio, its so good to me. parody of Woman From Tokyo, Deep PurpleKFC (Korean Fried Chicken), baby!Koreans make the best fried chicken, undoubtedly, IMHO. When I noticed Kokio open for business in the Zion plaza, my salivating tastebuds & growling beast of a belly would only find solace once I chomped down on the crispy skin of Korean fried chicken.Kokios bowls are served with vegetables & rice. Customers can choose from-Cajun BBQ chickenSoy sauce chickenSpicy sauce chickenTeriyaki chickenBeef bowlTeriyaki chicken bowlThe thick pieces of chicken cutlet were tender & juicy, however the vegetables couldve been cooked longer, as they proved tough. The bowl was a large portion, but at Korean Fried Chicken spot, why would anyone go for grilled chicken?Combination plates come with salad & choice of fries, steamed rice or fried rice. Choices are-5 wings4 pieces crispy chicken3 drumsticks3 original crispy stripsCombination wings plate (sweet & spicy)Yummy! Thick, meaty wing portions accompanied by coleslaw & fried rice. An amount thats not too filling, yet not too meager, the combo wings plate hit the spot. The coleslaw was cold & crisp, topped by a thick slice of tomato. The fried rice was enjoyable, with egg as the protein. The sweet & spicy wings had the right balance of sweet to sour, and the crispy skin was a thing to behold. Definitely good!Service was fine. My sis-in-law asked if her 4 piece crispy chicken could be all white meat, which the attendant agreed to. However, she later received a few pieces of dark meat when given her order. She didnt complain about it, as I would have & suggested to her. My sis-in-law just gave me the dark meat, which I happily devoured. The crispy chicken pieces were good, and having more meat than the wings, I just may go for those next time.Ample seating via long booths that encompass each side wall & tables. Large flatscreen TVs had baseball on, Dodger on one side & Angels on the other side. So, choose your side & pledge your allegiance, all while munching on chicken.Parking is in a private lot at the Zion plaza.Oh, you didnt know? Rodney-O, likes Kokio! Kokios fried chicken was incredibly delicious, and being almost empty during weekend lunch hours, we had a peaceful meal, enjoying tasty food & the refreshing A/C. Prices are pretty good for the amount & Im anxiously awaiting coming back & deciding which sauce I want to go with next.Highly recommend!NOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOM

I submitted chicken and tteokbokki, but the fried chicken was dry as well, and I ordered tteokbokki by phone and went to pick it up right away. In a word, I felt so bad because I didnt have much sincerity about food. I dont want to go again.

Review №98

2019-05-25 09:52:47

Really bad experience. They forgot my order for 1 hour. And when I asked what was going on with my order, they found it left on the corner. An hour!! A worse thing was they wanted me to take and eat the cold chicken with the word, sorry.Worst experience. Chicken that was supposed to take 20 minutes took 1 hour. When I asked what happened, he said he was sorry for finding something he had thrown into the restraints and told me to take it. Everything has cooled down. Why on earth are you taking my phone number?

The food tastes okay, but the service gets worse over time. I dont know if they forgot the order or if the kitchen didnt do it, but even when I called, they said they knew, but they didnt come often, and even when I asked for water, they forgot and there were too few staff compared to the number of customers. In the beginning, it was okay because there were a lot of employees, but on Friday, there were only two employees to provide service and cleaning...I feel a little better now

Review №101

Its clean and friendly, and best of all, its made with fresh chicken, so the breast meat isnt dry at all. A tip is to order 30 minutes in advance.
