I've been twice and had to get the Garlic flavor drumstick combo plate both times. It's delicious... if you like garlic, it won't disappoint you. Plenty of other flavors, planning to come back every time I'm in ABQ!

Fantastic, made to order fried chicken. Please note that the pieces are ginormous!
The size of each drumette on the wings is as big as a KFC drumstick, and their drumsticks are almost as large as a turkey leg. That's why it takes them 20 minutes to cook them to juicy perfection.
The French fries and deserve a special mention: they arrived home hot and crispy which is a minor achievement.

The fried chicken was crispy, moist, and delicious. 5 stars.
The teriyaki bowl on the other hand was reheated in a microwave with teriyaki sauce poured on top. I could have easily made the same at home. 2 stars.
Kokio is definitely my favorite fried chicken. I intend to get 2 flavors. The extra spicy Korean sauce and I also get the hot and crispy. If you want crispy fried chicken, the hot and spicy is the way to go. The extra spicy is also not so crispy, just because it's a sauce.

I got the honey rice cake and chicken for lunch. The sign on the register "we make good food, not fast food" is absolutely correct, the wait for food was about 10-15 mins. It was soo good though the chicken tender pieces were lightly breaded, crispy, and not dry at all. The rice cakes had a glaze from the honey and was nice and chewy. It was a tasty mixture of spicy, sweet, and garlicky flavor. I will be back for more!
Parking: For the time frame I went (just after 11am) the parking was easy. I'm not sure what it will look like more toward peak business hours.

I got the hottest wings they had and they were DEE. LIHHH. SHISS. I'm a hot wing connoisseur and I was, without question, blown away by how tasty they were. I also laid some serious mushroom clouds in my toilet later that night.
The interior is a bit underwhelming with regards to atmosphere, but you won't care. The food is delicious. I can't wait to go back again.

This is my second time eating here and I would never eat here again. I watched the women at the cashier give away part of my order due to being to engrossed in the conversation she was having. After a few minutes she ran outside to try and contact the person who had taken the order, but they weren't answering. She came back into the store, never mentioning to me what was going on but luckily I figured it out, and continued to take orders like there was no issue. I'm assuming she's going to have that part of my order replaced but no she's just letting my food that was still left there get cold and going about her day. Finally the guy calls back and brings the food back and without skipping a beat she tried to call me up to take my order without mentioning the whole 15 minute ordeal. I understand mistakes happen but the blatent attempt to cover it up and complete disregard over the fact this food left the restaurant with some random guy who could've done anything to is ridiculous.
I did get a refund after calling her out, but I don't recommend giving your money to a place that would even attempt something like that.
