Kokio Korean Fried Chicken

Excellent service for our meal prep! The Teriyaki chicken sandwich and crispy chicken strips were unbelievably fresh and flavorful. The chicken strips had the perfect crunch and were packed with taste. Don’t miss out on their wide selection of drinks and delicious chips—there are so many tempting options on the menu. The store owner was also incredibly kind and friendly, which made the whole experience even more enjoyable.

The chicken tasted so good and was very juicy! I was going to get it to go but the owner convinced me to stay and eat. I didn’t regret it because the chicken was hot and crispy. I will be back with my girlfriend.

It did take a little longer than I expected but it was definitely worth the wait. The wings were massive, juicy, and delicious! I'm a big guy and I wasn't able to finish all my wings so I had to take it home.
Will definitely make this my wing spot from now on!!!

Amazingly good food! I got a chicken sandwich and my friend got the five bone in wings. Both were delicious and fresh! Everything is cooked to order so you know it’s going to be really good. It’s so worth the price and any wait you might have , which isn’t long.

NOT Korean fried chicken! One of the things I struggle with living in NM is the lack of Asian food and especially Korean. I was excited to find out there was a new Korean chicken spot in ABQ. So we drove an hour to check it out. Soooo disappointed!! I was immediately suspicious when there wasn’t any standard Korean sides, like kimchi fried rice, japchae or scallion pancakes, instead there are fries, onion rings and cheese sticks. But we were there for the chicken. We got an order of wings in the Korean special sauce, and an order of drumsticks in the sweet and spicy. First off, the chicken wasn’t crispy at all! That is the whole point of Korean fried chicken, it’s the crispiest non breaded chicken out there (this place also breads much of its chicken, another red flag). The sauces weren’t good. Both were supposed to be spicy, not spicy in the slightest, not even a tiny buzz, and they were both so sweet, sugar was the main ingredient, plus the Sweet and Spicy has cinnamon in it and tasted like dessert. Finally the chicken wasn’t good quality, it’s giant hormone filled Tyson like chicken. We will not be trying this place again. I thought about giving 2 stars, but the man at the counter was nice.

This was our first time stopping in. A little pricey, but very much worth it. The chicken was cooked perfectly and the sauces were excellent. We got the special Korean sauce and the garlic sauce. The portions were fair for the price. I also enjoyed the coffee. The lady at the counter was very friendly and helpful. My only complaint is that the seating wasn't very comfortable, but that's a minor thing and easy to avoid by getting takeout.

Great owners!! Fresh food so enjoy the wait! Tenders with korean sauce, garlic chicken/rice cake (very good), drum sticks are just huge (Get some sauce on the side to enjoy during the whole time of eating)

Above and beyond in every way. Fried chicken may seem like a thing we’ve all had and have come to expect to be of a particular (read: greasy) quality. Not so here! I’ve eaten here several times and continue to be amazed. The food is prepared by hand after you order it. There isn’t a bin of pre-fried anything sitting in the back.
