Stopped for a fried chicken craving before heading to San Diego. Although I ordered to-go, I needed to eat some of it before driving. Was denied to dine-in even though I told him the details in this post. The place was empty and 3 other guest were turned away. I had to eat in my car. In addition, the descriptions on the combos are misleading; 4 piece chicken and side is really 4 wings and option of fries or rice—rough for a diabetic. I really wanted to support this business while I’m in town—the food is good and I’m grateful for the side of cabbage—but I just can’t anymore. Plenty of other places to get fried chicken where you can sit down and enjoy your food while it’s hot.

I parked my car in front of the store, and my mom was inside. This big dude, probably the store boss, was totally freaking out, yelling at my mom to move the car ASAP. He was saying only his customers and him could park in those three spots right in front. it sounds crazy, but here’s the kicker—the store was empty, no customers at all! My mom was seriously rattled. He went on about owning those spaces and needing his okay for anyone to park there. Ridiculous! Looks like that joint might have some bad vibes. I can't vouch for their food, but steer clear if you want a relaxed dining time. That guy seemed like he was about to blow a fuse or throw hands.

Response to the owner's reply:Hey, so around 2 pm, there was not a soul in sight at the store. Why's it that only your store's customers and your SUV get that golden parking permit in public spots? Heard you bagged and paid for three spots—really, though? Every tenant pays the charge for common areas, not only you. But that is not for a special parking permit. Not buying into that. I'm not daft.And seriously, what's up with hogging the public parking, whether it's in front of your shop or anywhere else? Isn't it just plain rude to block folks from their own parking? Is it your manners of doing? Plus, why were the yelling, especially when the old lady was alone?Yes, you (or he) definitely started the frowning contest first. If that's the vibe you're giving off while running things here, you might strike it rich. Been hearing a heap of complaints about you or that big boss.(No way to reply to your answers, so I used others)

Chicken is really good! Crispy and flavorful! I love the honeybee and original flavor! Ambience is nice and chill!

Kokio used to be our go-to spot for Korean fried chicken, but it's gone downhill over the years. The quality isn't there anymore. At my most recent visit, I want to say I got served old, slightly smelly chicken. I didn't think much of it because the sweet, honey garlic flavor overpowered the smell. It wasn't until my friend mentioned they ordered twice from there recently and also got served old, smelly chicken both times. So my experience wasn't a fluke or from my imagination. I should of brought this up to management, but my realization was after the fact a month or so. I just won't be coming back.

Rude to us about the sauce and just in general. Got my order wrong. Mid

Initial review:Location is clean with decent amount of available seating (seating capacity about 40 people) though some booths are broken.Music in the background with two televisions playing different cable channels. Placing an order is straight forward and the food is cooked after order is placed, which is nice. Cannot comment on service as we did take out. Will update with food quality after eating.

Very bad, ate there and asked for take out. Chicken was not fresh, not prepared well, paid $28.00 for very bad fried chicken. I would say stay away, looks like it’s going broke anyway.

Best KFC in OC. The original recipe has a hint of spicy and the fry is perfectly crisp and golden. We ordered this on DoorDash for a birthday party and it was a big hit.

Mostly take out. The chicken wings are delicious!

I didn't think about taking any pictures, I was hungry. I ordered from Kokio through Doordash. Those Sweet & Spicy wings were too good to be true but that Honeybee was the one for me.
