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%.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
Just arrived in New Orleans! It's breezy, a little humid & I love it. I'm starving, and of course, my first stop has to be Korean food I'm such a Korean. I decided to try Coco Korean BBQ on Magazine Street. The moment we stepped inside, I had a bit of an uh-oh moment the interior felt pretty dull and a little depressing. The service was decent, though. They served six side dishes, but they were just okay really cold, like they had just come straight from the fridge. We ordered kimchi stew and kalbi, which were good, but the rest of was just so so. Maybe I'm spoiled by the amazing Korean food in the Silicon Valley, but overall, it was just decent. Sorry, Coco Korean BBQ just not quite hitting the spot! read more
Walked past the restaurant while exploring Magazine St and then doubled back for dinner. We had just gotten happy hour elsewhere so we weren't super hungry but still ended up ordering a lot for variety. For two people, we got the kimchi pancake, bulgogi, and jjajjangmyun or black bean noodles. Side dishes are also varied and most tasted really good. Just personal preference prevented me from enjoying the celery dish. Refills of course. I really craving some fresh vegetables and kimchi. Service was good and food came out pretty quick. The kimchi pancake was big and crispy and bulgogi had some japchae/glass noodles in it which was a nice surprise. The bulgogi came out sizzling. The black bean noodle tasted a little different to what I'm used to but was still good and we dumped our rice in the sauce after. The restaurant is set up for BBQ with the grill at your table if you're interested in trying Korean BBQ. The menu has a lot of legit Korean dishes so I definitely recommend trying everything if you want a good idea or Korean cuisine. read more

We have never tried Korean BBQ until now. The server was fantastic and they were following all COVID protocols. We were seated immediately. The server offered us the option of cooking the food for ourselves or having the chef cook for us. We chose the latter. We started with pan sautéed pork dumplings and they were so good. We ordered 3 entrees so that we could get a wide variety of the menu. My favorite entree was the BBQ Beef Shortribs. They were sweet and savory with a light crust. The other 2 entrees were the pork belly and a spicy cold noodle entree. They were good too. The chef does spice so well. We will return. read more
I like to take my nieces and nephews all out once a month and they choose the type of food they want to try and I choose the restaurant. They wanted to try Korean bbq so I decided to give this place a try. Upon arrival the host was meh. But our server was great. She was really attentive and personable. We ordered some marinated pork and some spicy beef to cook on the grill. We also ordered the cheesy ribs , fried rice, and kimchi rice volcano. Everything was amazing. I'm still thinking about those ribs. The kids really enjoyed themselves too. read more
#yelplove I stopped by Little Korea for takeout They had their full menu available for takeout. It was an easy experience. There was hand sanitizer and you could insert/swipe your own credit card. Staff was great as always and provided a safe experience. Now the food was delicious! Our favorite was the spicy rice cake and ramen noodles. Perfect spice level. The garlic samgyupsal (garlic pork belly) was delicious as well. Our order came with a soup and small sides which we didn't expect but was wonderful. I don't know why Korean BBQ will look like in the future but we should keep supporting our local restaurants! read more
I used to live only 4 blocks from Little Korea and would walk past it every night, my mouth watering at the aromas that emanated. Never tried it till recently because I had checked out the menu and never seen a veggie option. Turns out I was wrong. I tried the veggie bibimbop as take-out and everything was delicious! The egg on top was cooked perfectly and all the little pickled sides were so fun to try. Favorites were the cabbage and bean sprouts, and the fried tofu of course. The sauce that comes with it is smoky, spicy, sweet, and savory all at once... totally unique and a perfect topping for the rice. The prices are mid-range to high--15 pre tax for my meal--but I'd say it is definitely worth a try if you enjoy Asian cuisine. I'm sure I'll go back at some point. Would be fun to dine in. read more
Was craving Korean food so decided to take a visit here. We got brisket and pork belly for kbbq and the kimchi fried rice. The kimchi fried rice came with beef which we didn't know. The meat quality was good. Service was great. Place was clean and neat. I'd come back. read more

I always drive by here and had the preconception that it would be overpriced for what it is and to pay for the premium magazine street rent. I usually love a good AYCE, but decided to give this a try since this is much closer to me than driving to Metarie, and am glad I did! You can sit at a table with a grill, or they have tables without grills where you can order anything cooked in the kitchen. Every single one of their sides was tasty. Ordered fried rice, miso pork belly and beef bulgogi, and would order everything again. As far as quantity, I left content, not disgustingly full like when I leave AYCE. Splitting two meats and a fried rice between two people, we paid less than to comparable price as AYCE, had left over fried rice to take home, and felt like we got high quality meat- no chewy fat or tendon, everything was very tender and flavorful. I'll come back here for sure. read more

The Corn Cheese dish is divine. I would come here and just eat that. This place is pretty decent for Korean bbq but it's not all-you-can eat and it's quite pricey. We got the garlic pork belly and the Gal Bi and I've definitely had better at other kbbq places in Nola. The marinade was a bit off. But the appetizers here are definitely A+. Highly recommend the Honey bbq chicken and the corn cheese. Overall, good experience for Korean bbq, great staff, and a great ambiance. read more
We stumbled across this place when walking up and down Magazine Street. We could smell the amazing aroma from the road as we passed and had to turn around and come back to eat here! The lunch specials are affordable and delicious. We had two items off the lunch menu, the Dolsot Bibimbap Bulgogi and the Bulgogi Lunch Platter. Both were fresh and flavorful! They were also super filling! We were stuffed and satisfied. Fantastic little gem of a place. read more
Is it the best KBBQ? Honestly no; Do they have some good food? for sure. It's a great place to get some different combinations of Korean food that other KBBQ doesn't have. They have the Korean Cheese Corn Dogs some days but they have this delicious Gghan Poong Shrimp on a fried bed of crispy rice paper (bed isn't a great word but look at the picture & you'll see why). They have a very unique vacuum/vent system that reminds you of the Teletubbies Vacuum! @Phidingthefam read more
It feels weird giving this place 3 stars as I had a nice time with tasty food. However, anyone that has gone to a korean bbq place will understand, this place is simply not worth it. The meats are nothing special and are just on par with every other kbbq place. Mind you, they are still very very tasty, but all kbbq meats are. This place gives you almost no banchan (side dishes) which normally are plentiful at any korean spot. Soju is crazy expensive here, a lot more than other places. The worst thing about this place are the prices. I can pay 21 dollars anywhere else for a seat at an all you can eat kbbq with the same quality meat this place had. Instead, here I paid 21 dollars for a singular plate of brisket. A measly 10-15 paper thin pieces of it. I have gotten more of this brisket when ordering at an all you can eat kbbq place for much much cheaper. I would not recommend anyone to go here. The kbbq spot in Metairie is much better. This place is still delicious, they just seem very skimpy with the free stuff and are very expensive. A single meat costs the same as a seat at an all you can eat kbbq for the SAME quality meat. I do not think anyone should go here. read more

This place is good and worth a try! If you have tried Korean BBQ in the past in other areas of the United States and are looking to compare, I think it's best to leave your biases at the door. There aren't many places in New Orleans that do Korean BBQ, and this place is able to give you your fix. It's not all you can eat, but you can get the usual KBBQ items. If you are going to grill, you have to order a minimum of two meat platters. My friend and I got the Spicy Pork Belly and the Brisket. The porky belly wasn't spicy but was super flavorful. The brisket is always my favorite to get. Both were good. We also tried the seafood scallion pancake and that was delicious. This place isn't that big but luckily we came at a time where we didn't wait to be seated. The staff are super friendly and attentive. I would come here again! read more

Cute spot! Hostess was funky and super sweet and was working hard on NY Day! We opted for a non grill table and over ate! Server was super sweet and they were super busy at 2pm but the food and service were on point. Please open one in Biloxi! read more
