M Kokko was really really good. Te service was excellent and we were very well taken care of. The atmosphere is very nice just VERY small as per the 4 stars for atmosphere.
I had the Bahn Mi sandwich. The pork was perfectly cooked, the relish was fresh and crisp, and the tonkotsu sauce add great flavor. I omitted the kewpie mayo. Their house chips are amazing with a really good seasoning. My husband had the chicken wings(of course) and they were very meaty and sauced perfectly. We both had Sapporo to drink. Overall everything was great!

Hainan chicken was very bland and the rice had no flavor whatsoever. We also ordered the ramen and it had no flavor either other than a fatty taste from the meat. Very disappointed in the food.

The foods were fantastic. I lived in Korea for 3 years, this is the first time I have had jia jia mian that tasted as good as it did when I was in Korea.

Food is 🔥🔥🔥!! The bao buns are soft, pillowy, packed with umami and a must order. The ramen is excellent as well. I missed out on the full experience because I took it to-go but it was still top notch!! This is on the list the next time I’m in Durham

Their ramen is the best in town, no ifs or buts about it, and all the food is delicious. And after I developed a soy and dairy allergy (long story), they’ve been incredibly lovely in accommodating it and making the dish work just as well, even though it required replacing a number of ingredients. Servers are always lovely and helpful. We come here a ton and after how they’ve handled the allergy, I’m a loyal costumer for life.

A long- time favorite place for lunch downtown. The menu is small, and while most dishes use chicken, there's a lovely (vegan) curry udon available.

First time eating here. When we were finally served, we enjoyed the food (Lettuce Wrap and Biang Biang Bowl), however we got caught in one of those unfortunate situations where several tables that were seated after us all got their food before we did. I don't think our dishes required any more prep, in fact some of those tables had ordered the same items. Took about 40 minutes to get served. Our waiter did not look for us. It made for a bit of a negative experience overall.
We got the Pork Belly Gochujang, Jia Jiang Mian, and Hainan Chicken. Everything was delicious and we’ll definitely be back 😋

I wish I loved it more because we drove an hour just to try this place. The pork and toppings on the ramen was very good but the broth was insanely salty. I thought it was just my bowl but every bowl in our group was the same. Jjajiang was also very very salty. Only good dish was the fried chicken.
Very good but, Only one waitress need more help

If you’re looking for a meal that’ll make you wish you could eat the same thing every day, M Kokko is the place to be. We went with three people, and, as soon as the dishes hit the table, we were completely blown away. The menu is perfectly curated (thankfully, not overwhelming), and honestly, you can’t go wrong with anything on it.
We kicked things off with the Nashville hot chicken wings, which packed a punch but were perfectly crispy, followed by the pork belly bao—oh my—it was so tender and flavorful, it practically melted in your mouth. The beef noodles? Unfortunately, we got so caught up in devouring them, we forgot to take a picture, but let me just say they were divine. Tender beef, savory broth, and noodles that soaked up all the goodness—you can’t leave without trying them.
We washed it all down with some sake and a beer, but at this point, we were eating so fast and in such bliss that we were already planning our next trip before we even finished our meal. The service was also top-notch, which only made the experience that much better.
If you’re in Durham, you need to make M Kokko a priority. Trust me, it’s worth every bite. We’ll definitely be back.
