    Complementary side dishes
    Donut D.

    Foods were better than expected. The soup was well seasoned and came out steaming hot. The creamy udon with chicken was mediocre. The chicken was dry despite soaked in the creamy sauce. Service was friendly and quick. The dinning room seems clean.

    To start with the service; I am tremendously grateful for them seating a party of eight. I can imagine that assisting so many people can be a lot, and they did it pretty smoothly, save for a few hiccups, but those were all quickly resolved. I LOVE the food here. It's definitely one of my favorite restaurants ever. I typically share a meal with whoever I come with and I love getting beef bulgogi, vegetable bibimbap and Tteokbokki (the best one I've ever tasted. The only place that comes close is surprisingly Trader Joes). The food is plenty and VERY filling. You will not regret giving this restaurant your time of day and money! Can't wait to go back :)

    Korean BBQ on the corner of Philip and Magazine, next to the boutique Peony. Front area is the BBQ section. We ordered the tteokbokki with no add-ons (ramen or cheese), soondubu jjigae with mushrooms, kimchi and rice cake as add-ons ($1.50 for each add-on)and a spicy BBQ chicken. $50.69. The banchans: kimchi, spicy garlic stems, fish cake, bean sprouts, cabbage in soybean paste, pickled onion, radish and jalapeños. The garlic stems, jalapeño/onion/radish and bean sprouts are my favorite. The tteokbokki is nicely seasoned and has a deep gochujang red to it, it's got some good heat, but the rice cakes are too soft and overcooked, not quite mushy, but not chewy enough. The spicy BBQ chicken has a good flavor profile, a sweetness, BBQ and Smokey flavoring all in one, it's different but good. Meat is tender too. The tofu soup is okay, more peppery than I am used to here. Flavor is decent still, just not as I would prefer it, it's not as spicy as I like either. I only found 5 rice cakes and they are super thin too. I have never seen them so thin in my whole life. I dread the add-on costs for the kimchi and the rice, as they are both rather sparse in the soup. The spicy bbq chicken and the banchans are all good here. Skip the tteokbokki. Try the tofu soup, knowing it will taste different than usual. Tax is high here in Louisiana, it's 10.2%.

    Seafood pancake
    Michael M.

    Great option for Korean bbq. The chicken was marinated perfectly and the pork belly was delicious. They don't have any shrimp or seafood option for the grill but they do offer a seafood pancake that satisfies the pescatarian option. Also a really big fan of their fried chicken wings. It's fairly difficult to mess up a Korean bbq place, but they get all the extra stars for service and chill atmosphere.

    Street parking. Eight table top grills with two grills per table, where you may end up sitting at the same table as another party if you're a small party too. If that made any sense..There are a few regular tables available too where you don't grill your own proteins. Of course the grill tables will require a longer wait time, so be ready for a wait if you don't have reservations. Actually, I'm not even sure if they offer reservations. Food were mediocre. The meat marinades are ok, not the best but probably better than other Korean restaurants in New Orleans. It is on the higher end of cost too. We had the KFC wings and seafood pancake for appetizers and I wasn't a fan of either. The sauce on the wings were too sweet and the pancake was too salty. I'd pass on those. Banchans were also given as standards, also ok tasting. Grill tables can get smokey even with the extender. Service is a hit or miss.

    TLDR: Food was good, wait was long as hell. Bring a snack. Would I go again: Yes. It was my saving grace in NOLA Food: we got the hot stone bibimbap and kimchi jigae. Both were exceptional. Disclaimer to all, the jigae is very spicy, but delicious. Service: really friendly but very slow. Ambiance: cool vibe. Nice spot in NOLA

    Kimchi Fried Rice, Volcano Style
    Julia V.

    What can I say that hasn't already been said. This place is magical, from the delicious kimchi fried rice to the crispy BBQ chicken. I've been here a hundred times but I'm always pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food and the quick + friendly customer service. They also have some of the tastiest kimchi you can find down in NOLA, making them my go-to restaurant when I need my Korean food fix.

    Spicy Rice Cake
    Tram N.

    So in the past I was dine in here when it was known as Little Korea, and I didn't have a good experience. So I when I heard it reopen under a new name Coco, I decided to give it a second chance. We got Spicy Rice Cakes with Ramen, Kimchi Jjigae, Bibibap and Spicy Fried Chicken. We like the Rice Cakes and Bibibap a lot, flavorful and in a good portions. I wish the Rice Cake could be spicier since I'm the person like spicy food. The Spicy Fried Chicken is in good portion but for us the spicy sauce pretty oily and giving Chinese taste more than Korean. The Kimchi Jjigae was so disappointed, for the price of the Kimchi Jjigae it sadly did not lift up to its expectation. The taste of it doesn't taste familiar to the Kimchi Jjigae I'm used to eating as other Korean restaurants. One more slight detail that they charge you $5 extra for refill extra banchan (side dishes) which many cases the majority of many Korean restaurants do not charge you for extra banchan. No complain from the service side, my waitress was helpful and attentive.

    I stopped in for lunch after seeing their sign on the sidewalk and glad I did! The service was top notch. The host answered all my questions very kindly. The food was superb. The chef actually took time to make sure the dish accommodated my diet. This was one of the best Korean BBQ spots I've ever been to! The service was also exceptionally fast. Very impressive spot.

    Kimchi fried rice
    Shelby Z.

    We were originally going to come here for Korean corn dogs, but sadly found out they weren't currently selling them. But after spending a week eating nothing but Cajun food, we decided to check it out to eat something different during our vacation. Plus, it felt like a breath of fresh air spending some time away from the French Quarter, and allowed us to explore Magazine Street! This place = chef's kiss. And we didn't even actually have their BBQ. Everything from the service to the food was fantastic, and I'm still dreaming about the kimchi fried rice that I ordered! Little Korea BBQ is awesome. If I get the chance to come back, I would love to sit at one of the BBQ tables next time.

    Overall I liked the vibe inside! Very fun and lively :-) I was a little disappointed by the tteoboki though, as it was a little hard. The pork in the tofu stew also was not super great, good spice tho.

    The food is not good. It's overpriced for what you get. The quality of the food is bad. Overall I will not recommend this place to anyone.

I didn't want to get a whole plate so I just got a side of potato salad and a side of bacon Mac n cheese. My Mac n cheese did not have bacon and they did not tell me they were out of bacon when I ordered. I ordered it to go. It was almost $17 which surprised me because each side is only $6.00 so I asked what the extra charge was for and she said they charge $2 for to go orders to package it. The packaging is cheap styrofoam containers and a thin paper bag. None of it is high quality or bio degradable. Why is it $2? If I had ordered it to dine in and then asked for something to take it to go would they have charged me $2 after I had already paid?

I'm a creature of habit so I always get the brisket salad with a side of spoon bread (a twist on regular cornbread, a must try). Their salads are large and flavorful. Today we went and my friend got the jambalaya with a side of Brussel sprouts. Both dishes were very good. Besides the food being good I love how fast the service is. You never have to wait long for your food, by the time you place your order and sit down the food is coming out. The place has a nice vibe, with indoor and outdoor sitting. Also has a full bar so you can order whatever you like. They have a private room on the back that is used for event space. Today I found out they're a king cake hub so that's a major plus. Located in central city with a parking lot.

The restaurant was packed, and the staff was moving nonstop--but what really stood out was how smoothly everything was handled despite how busy it was. The food? Easily a 10/10. The chicken had that perfect balance--crispy and slightly spicy on the outside, yet unbelievably juicy and tender on the inside. You can tell real care goes into it. The greens were cooked just right with a subtle hint of spice that gave them great flavor, and the slaw had a light sweetness that complemented everything perfectly. Service was just as impressive. My server, Tashena, was attentive, friendly, and kept everything flowing without missing a beat, even in the rush. You could tell she genuinely cared about the experience. I also have to shout out the manager, Whitney. She was incredibly uplifting, constantly cheering on her team and keeping the energy positive and motivated. That kind of leadership really shows in the overall experience. Between the food, the service, and the atmosphere, I can confidently say this is a 1000/10 recommend. I'll definitely be back
