Ordered 10 wings, Korean special style, with a side of waffle fries. The waffle fries were $6.99 which is a bit overpriced. The Korean special flavor is too sweet for my personal liking, but the wings themselves are fried well and the meat is tender and juicy. Very popular restaurant with many customers in and out in the evening time. Also ordered the honey rice cake and chicken and it was absolutely delicious! Such a yummy comfort food--chewy rice cakes and crispy fried chicken drenched in a savory sweet sauce. Would order again and again, pricey but worth it.

Chicken strip plate with fries and honey bee sauce. SOOO DELICIOUS. my boyfriend got the sweet and sour wings plate and it was more tangy than spicy. No spice. This place has a modern aesthetic and very nice! The people have excellent customer service to top it all off. RECOMMEND 10/10

I tried Kokio with my friend and we thought it was tasty. It's a little hole in the wall in a strip plaza, and it was very clean. The man that owns it is very friendly and helpful in making recommendations. I tried the fried chicken strip basket with rice and the Korean sauce. It was tasty and very fresh, everything is made to order. My friend ordered the teriyaki chicken.

Kokio is located in a strip mall off of Menaul an absolutely a must try for a unique chicken experience here in Albuquerque. I will say that I recommend ordering ahead because if you don't, the wait can be a little while because they make everything fresh. But it's definitely worth it and again if you call head, that's the way to go. I will say that this is one of the few places that I recommend trying without the sauce. Love a good saucy chicken wing, but here the best way to do it is to go with the original. Their chicken is super crispy and has a unique seasoning.

매우 감사합니다 maeu gamsahabnida Thank you so much for opening up Kokio! I have been waiting patiently for someone to open up an authentic Korean fried chicken eatery! After watching korean dramas for over 10 years and watching time and time again, the actors/actresses enjoying korean fried chicken its here for me and all of NM to try, enjoy & savor the crunch, flavor, Juiciness and perfectly cooked chicken! Prior to Kokio opening and me trying every korean restaurant in Abq, hoping and wishing for I have finally found the place!! So far, I've tried over 60% of the menu items, and every single one has been pure perfection. I visited South Korea in sept & Oct of 2023, and believe me, Kokio Fried Chicken is cooked exactly as it is there. Tasting each bite of chicken along with a piece of pickled radish takes me back to my vacation in S.K. If you all have not been to KOKIO yet, please tell me what you are waiting for? You need to try it, you'll be hooked! Thank you to Kokio owners/family for opening up your restaurant 코키오를 열어주셔서 정말 감사드립니다! 나는 누군가가 정통 한국식 프라이드치킨 식당을 오픈하기를 참을성 있게 기다리고 있었습니다! 10년 넘게 한국 드라마를 보고 몇 번이고 보고 난 후, 한국식 프라이드치킨을 즐기는 배우/배우들 저와 NM 모두가 바삭함, 풍미, 육즙, 완벽하게 조리된 치킨을 즐기고 맛보러 왔습니다! 코키오 오픈 전, Abq에 있는 모든 한식당을 섭렵하면서 드디어 그 곳을 찾았습니다!! 지금까지 메뉴 항목의 60% 이상을 시험해 보았는데, 모든 메뉴 항목이 완전히 완벽했습니다. 저는 2023년 9월과 10월에 한국을 방문했는데, 코키오 프라이드 치킨은 그곳의 그대로 조리됩니다. 단무지 한 조각과 함께 닭고기를 한 입 베어 물면 SK에서의 휴가가 다시 생각난다. 아직 KOKIO에 가본 적이 없다면 무엇을 기다리고 있는지 알려주세요. 당신은 그것을 시도해야합니다, 당신은 푹 빠질 것입니다! 레스토랑을 열어주신 Kokio 소유자/가족에게 감사드립니다

I have never tried Korean fried chicken before and this place was amazing. Even after the chicken got cold it was still super awesome. Would recommend a thousand times.

Really good food! Lots of variety in styles of chicken and sauces. The teriyaki chicken bowl was tasty, with lots of fresh veggies, good white rice, and a flavorful sauce. The chicken tenders were perfectly breaded and fried. The fries were good. The coleslaw was just lightly dressed, which was just right. The sweet and spicy sauce started sweet and ended spicy. Drinks were in a beverage fridge. Standard wait time was 20 minutes, which was fine with us. Inside was nicely decorated and the explanation at the counter good. Already planning a return visit! Will probably pre-order on the website and pickup next time.

Korean fried chicken done right. Popular location which makes it difficult to find parking, but well worth the stop. We had the chicken tenders and got a half dozen sauces to try them with. The cajun was odd, but the others were quite tasty. None of them were overwhelmingly spicy at all, but they have a good variety of flavors. The crispiness, texture, and flavor of the battered exterior was perfect. The chicken was perfectly juicy and tender. Enjoyed the honey rice cake and chicken as well, which was a nice combination. We definitely ordered too much fried food for lunch, but it was too delicious not to just eat it all. Will return to try the wings and other items.

Found this gem while randomly out on a drive. As newbies to ABQ, we were excited to have found a Korean place. The ambiance is a clean, small welcoming restaurant with enticing pictures of their food options. Be prepared to wait at least 15 minutes as their food is made to order. The counter staff was friendly and prompt. We ordered the following: - Drumstick plate in Korean Special sauce with fries The sizes of the drumsticks were impressive for the price. The only complaint is that the drumsticks were pink in the middle and would've liked it to have been cooked more. Would reconsider getting wings instead of the drumsticks with the Korean Special sauce next time. - Crispy chicken strips plate in Garlic sauce with rice Wasn't too impressed with this plate. The chicken strips were plain, not crispy at all and wished they were double fried or made crispier. The sauce is good with a little bit of a tangy taste. For being a garlic sauce, was surprised it was very green. The sauce went great with the fries. Overall a decent portion size altogether. - Honey Rice Cake with Chicken without any spice (for a young kid) My son really liked the sauce and says he would consider ordering this again. Definitely should eat when freshly made and hot. Would recommend and return to try other options.
