While not hidden, you feel as if you are walking up to a secret door, down a sidewalk alley. I cannot honestly say much about the inside, other than it was a bit confusing if you seat yourself or wait to be seated....but a staff member directed us in less than two minutes that we could pick our own spot on the patio. Low table, hightops and couches adorn this enclosed patio. Sadly the fire towers nor the fireplace worked the night we enjoyed this spot. The edamame should always be ordered spicy, alongside the mashi-mandu. I also liked the gogi lettuce wraps, but beware - they seem to be as messy as eatting wings! Extra water is not automatically placed on the table, but is brought in a beautiful glass decanter once you ask. From a sign I saw, live music is played here. Staff are friendly and the food is definitely worth going back for again and again.

This is not your typical Korean restaurant. It's a different vibe. The atmosphere is nice and calming with the dimmed lights and live music. This restaurant has a beautiful patio. The owner is always around and is very welcoming. Our server was Ju-On (Not sure how to spell his name). He was super helpful and extremely nice gentlemen. Very attentive. I wish I had gotten pictures of everything but I couldn't get to it fast enough before it was devoured. We got the Gogi lettuce wraps, Say woo tempura shrimp, dumplings, mashi mandu, Choe's chicken, tuna and salmon poke bowl, and Korean soft tacos. Although everything was delicious, I will have to say that my favorite was the porkgogi soft tacos, Choe's chicken, and the tempura shrimp. The drinks were super cute. We even received non alcoholic drinks for the kids so that they didn't feel left out. Will definitely go back. Perfect place to take friends from out of state or just family dinner.

Immediately greeted by really nice staff! Personable and friendly. Drinks were excellent and their tofu and takoyaki dishes were amazing! After getting a few recommendations from friends to go, we made it happen and it was worth it. Cute spot in a very weird complex.Food: 5/5

my beloved Tong Tong was closed (on vacation, good for them) but I needed to satisfy my Korean tastebud. Yelp led me to Tokki. the interior design is gorgeous. the inside reminded me of Jessica Rabbit. live music. I sat outside and enjoyed my lychee cocktail, quite refreshing and had me sipping every drop til the end. The bulgogi was seasoned to perfection. I was happy to chew all the piece since it was so lean and clean. As far as the presentation it was ok, but flavors is whats important here. beware of the small amount of wasabi (i think) that they add. tiniest spec will have your nose fuming. To give Tokki more credit, this is a cocktail bar so the tapas are actually pretty elevated. service was immaculate.

This cool Korean tapas place is located in south Colorado Springs. The ambiance inside is dark and funky, with a full bar and a stage for live music. Outside, Tokki has a great patio. The drinks are amazing and it's always fun to order tapas style and split with each other. We especially enjoyed our tempura shrimp and bulgogi lettuce wraps. The server even gave us each free shots of soju at the end of our meal. We will definitely be back!

10/10 intimate place! This hidden gem sets all the standards when you go out. The food is well proportioned and tastes amazing. Drinks are made with love. One of my new faves!Food: 5/5
Have you ever felt like you walked into a movie set. That surreal eclectic feeling of déjà vu. That's what you get when you come in here. It's tucked away inside the middle of a shopping center. The only thing visible from the parking lot is a sign with a metal T. It's chic but also casual. Very unique. Wish we had a place like this closer to home. We came for our 14th wedding anniversary and we were blown away by the great food and amazing drinks. We came in on a Friday and they had a live jazz cover band playing. Ironically enough the third song they played was our song. It made the meal even better. The fruity drink I had tasted amazing! My husbands meal was so big we even had leftovers. Totally worth heading out for.

First time visiting Tokki and it did not disappoint! We went with a group and tried many different things. The nine-tails tataki, surume takoyaki, and shrimp tempura were all standouts. General Choe's chicken...delicious!! Their cocktail menu is inventive and drinks are tasty. It's a little crowded and close quarters inside, but we sat out back on the patio and it was awesome on a summer night. Will be great in the Fall too. Staff is incredibly accommodating and friendly, and service is top notch. We will definitely be back!

This is a must go for Colorado Springs. The staff is so friendly, knowledgeable, and welcoming. The food is insanely good and the drinks are amazing. Whether you're there for the Korean flare, the chill anime, or the live music the vibes come correct everytime. Go here, I'm serious! Oh and if any staff reads this, congrats on the one year mark!! ?

If I could give Tokki a hundred stars, I absolutely would. From the food, to the service, to the ambiance, this place truly does it all ... and does it well. Go, order everything on the menu and thank me later.You will not find a place with kinder humans.

This was an awesome place! The drinks are reasonably priced and tasted great ! The food is so good. I loved the bloody marys & this night there was a live band, and the time before, they had some really good karaoke going on! Very chill environment definitely became one of my faves instantly! Definitely check them out !
