Seafood tray we went with the mild garlic butter. And for the pho, it pretty much had all the works. Broth was a little light in my opinion and I wasn't a fan of the noodles that they used. Wish they would add more meatballs as well. Overall we had a good experience with the staff and would definitely go back for the atmosphere.

As we walked in, there were 3 staff members: a lady working the register, the older Korean gentleman (the presumed heart of the restaurant), and another cook. Once we placed the order, the 2 men in the back sat up and went to the fryers immediately to lock in. Fried chicken takes its time and unlike a chain like Popeyes and KFC who can have legs, breasts, and wings ready at the drop of a hat, Kokio only makes what's needed per order. This means there is a longer wait for the food. As we sat and waited for our food, multiple to-go and presumed DoorDash drivers came in and had a similar wait to us. The time seemed to crawl as we waited, but once the order came out and I took my first bite, all was well. I ordered their Wings Plate which came with 5 wings, fries, and some coleslaw. I upgraded my fries to waffle fries for the vibes and they were worthwhile. For the wings, I got them tossed in the Honey Bee sauce. They were smooth and sweet while having a slight kick.

I'm giving this place its rating because it achieves what it sets out to do. It's simple, good food, and a lot of it's fairly cheap. I'm mostly just glad I finally found a place that is simple and doesn't tout itself as the best ever. Anyway, we started with the Fried Pickles -- great choice because for 5 bucks that is a lot of Fried Pickles. For dinner, I got the Texas Country Fried Chicken, which again really filled me up. It was nice and hot, and the chicken was scrumptious. My friend got a House Salad, and then the Hawaiian Chicken. All I'll say is I'll be getting that next time, it looked fantastic. We had somewhere to be so we didn't get dessert, but yeah! Really liked the comfy decor of this place, reasonably priced food, and friendly staff. Definitely recommend trying out. read more

Me and my husband with our 2 babies came to eat at Aspen Creek in Lubbock . We parked our front because we had our kids with us . A waiter named Millie or Mely (didn't quite catch her name) at the time had an attitude when we advised we were randomly taken off the waitlist after waiting 40 minute. She asked if we came in we said no because no where on the message said to "come in and advise the front desk we were here". And if that is a normal thing that needs to be made attention to in the text updates. She then proceed to say "you are normally supposed to come" with an attitude. Please bring things like this to customers attention! read more

Aspen Creek is an awesome family friendly establishment. The servers are great and help each other out. The host stand is friendly and made me feel very welcomed. The Spinach and artichoke dip is excellent and highly recommended. I also got the 8 oz. sirloin which was cooked exactly how I like it. The sides were excellent as well. We finished our meal with the fried cheesecake and were not disappointed! We will be returning and recommending this place to more family and friends! read more

That's the first time i've been offered peas or cheese, cream corn at a steak dinner. Keeping the cream corn out of my steak and potato was a challenge. The service was great, spot on, very attentive. The wooden hard seats in the waiting place, the comment, "were are preparing your table," the tables being too close, and the choice of veggies are all reasons I would not recommend this restaurant.
