This place rocks! As an interesting, Asian alternative to KFC or Popeyes, it has drumsticks and wings alongside some traditional Korean fare - bulgogi, spicy pork, etc. The chicken is deep-fried in what I would describe as a cornstarch or tapioca batter. Fried to a golden / golden brown color. The resulting drumsticks and wings are crunchy on the outside and SUPER juicy on the inside. If youre eating at the restaurant, watch out, cause those juices are HOT!!! The sauces pair really well with the chicken - Honey Mustard (not traditional Korean, but HONEY MUSTARD!), spicy sweet (more sweet, some garlic), hot (not that spicy, but I like jalepenos... try if adventurous), and soy garlic (I didnt like this one that much...). You have the option of getting the sauces on the chicken or on the side. I would definitely recommend sauces on the side if doing take-out. For about $20 (time of review - 11/16/2015), the amount of good food you get could probably feed a family of 3 (2-3 drum sticks each + some wings) with some rice and veggies, youre good. I, on the other hand, ate it all... @___@||| by myself... :P Im not proud, but my belly is happy!

I would give them a 0 star because of so many reasons. First of all, the food was straight up disgusting. There was literally so much oil on it Im pretty sure I gained at least 10 pounds just eating that food. They never said anything for the salad and so I asked them if me, my brother and my dad can get salad. The main lady wearing a whole bunch of makeup and eyeshadow said 2 people can eat the salad but the third person had to pay $4. Who charges 4 dollars for salad?! So my brother and I took salad and I couldnt finish it so my dad ate the left overs. When we got our food large chicken wings we realized the sauce was on the side. She never told us to put the sauce on the side or on the food. After we ate the food we went to the counter to pay and we had to pay 21.00 . My dad asked why we have to pay 21 and she said because the salad cost 4 dollars and because she saw my dad eating my leftovers?!! Outrageous, I highly recommend to never go there and to save your money and instead spend it on subway like we are right now. I recommend to never go this place ever again. Thanks for reading

My friend recommended this Korean fried chicken place. I hadnt had it for awhile and this was great! We got a medium drumstick and wing combo (5 drumsticks, 3 wings) with the sweet and hot and garlic soy sauce on the side. Plus we got a side of macaroni salad. The drumsticks were the best, very juicy and tender. Our wings werent as juicy but overall good. Both sauces were good. Pouring your own garlic soy could get pretty garlic-y, so maybe get it on already or dont be as sauce happy as we went? The sweet and hot sauce was good and it never got too much. We liked having the sauce on the side because it didnt make the fried chicken mushy or non crispy. The macaroni salad was a nice contrast. It is sweeter than any other macaroni salad Ive had but it wasnt bad. It was a nice lunch. The pricing was good, and I would go again!

I had a craving for Korean fried chicken the other day. Unlike usual fried chicken you find in US (thick breading), they usually dont put a lot of breading there. You can also choose whether you want sauce separately or not. The chicken is pretty good, but theyre quite stingy in giving the steam rice. I ordered two portions and was still hungry. Havent tried the other menus but they also have some regular Korean dishes like spicy pork, bulgogi, etc. I might go back again and try of their some other stuff.

One of my favorite Korean Fried Chicken places , located in a plaza that has plenty of free parking . The taste of the chicken is so perfect for me, that I dont need to add any sauce to it . It does take a few minutes for the the food to come out , since they cook the orders fresh . I wish they had corn cheese to make my meal complete . Other than that I cant wait to come back .

Would give ZERO star if possible. Long story short: They ran out of salad/sides, and the self called "Im the boss here" guy insists no substitution rather than giving more rice. Why would I taking rice for sides? He refused to serve then. Absolutely the most hostile and rude service I have EVER experienced in the whole bay area. NEGATIVE.

Amisha Singh must be a spy for the competition. Because everything she said we found to be not true. The Korean Fried Chicken (KFC) was crispy on the outside and perfectly moist and not over cooked on the inside. The Bolgogi beef was tender and flavorful, again not overcooked. We are getting take out two nights in a row now...

Best korean chicken place in Fremont. It might also be the only korean chicken place, but if it isnt, the others cannot compare. This is a great place to bring friends to and split chicken and beer. Dont bring a date here because you wont look super cute after all the bbq sauce

Best Korean Fried Chicken place in San Francisco bay area. If you are from Korea and miss spicy yang nyum chicken, try Hot sauce. It tastes like Volcano Chicken of Goob Ne in Korea. *Dont forget to add potato wedge and dip it into your leftover hot sauce.

Chicken is awesome!!! 5 stars! Especially the soy garlic. The sides are good, the salad bar is great too and their tea. But sometimes, the service can be better.

Chris Dong

Delicious, crisp Korean style chicken. They need to sauce their chicken a little less, but it wasnt so much sauce that it affected the crispness of the chicken.

Marisol Puente

The service was great, the chicken was amazingly good! Love that it was so crunchy and the potato wedges are so delicious! First time and absolutely loved it!

Chicken is good, Kalbi isnt bad either. Would be my go to Korean place in Fremont if they had the soft tofu soup.

The Food was okay but the prices listed in here through Urban Spoon is inaccurate. They are off by a big margin.

Love me some CoCo chicken! The complementary pickled cabbage and radishes are delicious on a hot day.

Andrew Choi

Quality chicken at a good price. Probably best in the Bay Area. Small restaurant, however.

Doug Avery

Good fried chicken. Would have preferred a smaller portion. 5 pieces is the smallest.

Our go-to place for good ole K fried chicken and other K dishes. Love it here!!
