There has been a line to get in lately, so we wanted to get there a bit early. Kokio is located practically on the corner of North th St. "My son and I went to Kokio (rhymes with Tokyo) Korean Fried Chicken for lunch. All I would say try it if you like chicken, the fried type and the Korean style this is it in the RGV There is something really good here and only wish them success so they can achieve an overall experience of 5 stars all the time :) I'll be going for more soon hope you enjoy as well reader!" I got the half chicken both times sweet & spicy both times super good, plus fries (nothing special, but always a good side) Both of my friends really liked it as well. post opening, in the evening much more chill experience wait was maybe minutes including line before I got my order) very different experiences despite that food was consistently delicious so try it very delicious Korean chicken, ask any Seoul peeps that lived and have tried it or check some other reviews most agree. Just dropping some good vibes to this delicious find in the RGV.īeen here a couple of times once for take out (when they had recently opened and at noon long wait times but staff was trying to work through it then I would have done a 3 star review for overall experience but wanted to revisit first) and recently once dine in (about 4 mo. Staff wipes down tables as customers leave. They have packets of hot sauce and ranch dressing. I also had pickled corn salad.which is Cole slaw with added corn. "Delicious fried chicken!! Had the soy garlic chicken, crunchy, sweet and savory. I will definitely be going back to try different items/flavors." Breading was crispy but not audibly crispy like other Korean fried chicken I've had. I'm giving it 5 stars but one thing I did notice was on the whole chicken, some of the breading came off of the skin, not sure if it was the sauce that did it or the prep before cooking. Fries were awesome, super crispy outside and soft fluffy inside. Soy garlic was great, has a hint of sweetness, very light garlic flavor, I almost couldn't dig in since I was so full from the tenders. Not overly spicy but it made my nose run lol. Sweet and spicy is a perfect mixture, hits you with a honey like sweetness and then finishes with the spice. Would easily be a 4/5 for me if it weren't for the powdered sugar as after a while it became more like a glaze with wet fingers.Garlic and hot crispy basically were dry seasonings and not saucy or wet, with hot crispy being pretty much just regular naked/fried chicken? Just an FYI for anyone interested in these flavours."Got the Sweet and spicy tenders, Soy Garlic whole chicken and fries(I may have over ordered out of my excitement). The powdered sugar actually brings out the sweet potato flavour more since they’re cut to shreds and hard to taste the sweet potato without eating a handful at a time. It’s basically like those bags of chips that say they’re French fries but it’s just crunchy potato like regular chips and cut thin. Juicy and crispy but not like KFC crispy is known for and lowkey don’t think there was any skin just batter and breading because it didn’t taste as fatty or pull apart as regular drumsticks.Sweet Potato Fries Korean style - 2/5? But easy to binge. Honey is there for sweetness and it worksTenders (garlic) - 1-2/5 The garlic was there and it was juicy but the breading was off like it was almost naked and just fried, not much flavour other than garlic and that it’s tenders with no fat doesn’t help all the above.Drumsticks (hot crispy) - 4/5 this was basically just standard fried chicken drumsticks. It’s not like Mayo or heavy on honey like most honey flavoured KFC sauces it’s actually more like most places’ soy garlic but even a bit more savoury. Overall, solid and would love to come back!Wings (Honey) - 4/5 would get again easily. Always on the prowl for good fried chicken and was suggested here by a friend.
