Coco's grill has some good finds. We tried this place out through their Uber Eats Buy 1 get 1 free deals. Although we only have gotten take out from this small business, we have found one consistent favorite: the szechuan chili fish bowl. The soup has been consistently tasty, it is always piping hot on arrival (via food delivery), and the fish is perfectly cooked. Would absolutely recommend this dish. As far as the BOGO deals, they only have a couple of options: sesame chicken, general tso's chicken, and teriyaki chicken. Each dish comes with a side of white or fried rice. If you are looking for your typical "american chinese" food, these chicken dishes fit the description, and the fried rice and lo mein do too. You may not feel the best after eating it, but it has the typical taste of the dishes you expect. The dishes are a little on the oily side. read more

Small stripmall Chinese place, big menu, lots of authentic stuff. Glass cups, first I've seen like that in awhile at a Chinese place. Friendly fast service. Cold inside on this first wintry day. I usually get my testers of crab Rangoon and Mongolian beef, and they have those, but they also have a huge menu with many authentic offerings, and there were so many other things that interested me that I had to get them. I ended up with the chili oil dumplings, a decent size portion in just slightly spicy chili oil. Tender, big, well filled dumplings. I really enjoyed them. And I got the diving beef. At first I thought it was a misprint for divine or something else, but it is "diving" because it is swimming in a moderately spicy broth, which also contains cucumbers and onions, etc. Big strips of tender beef. Nicely flavored broth. Served with rice, and they said they would bring refills, I ended up not needing any. Fountain drinks and bottles. Plenty of parking. Slightly sketchy restroom. I will definitely be back, there are so many other things I want to try. read more

Bland, soul-less food that hits in a pinch. It's fine. It's just mad basic, and greasy but not flavorful.

Good food and outstanding customer service ! Been here a few times meals always hot and ready read more

Solid authentic food. One of the better pad Thais in town. This and Bendi Wok and grill are now my two favorites. I got the pad Thai and orange tofu. Lunch portions are huge and plenty to eat a couple meals off of. When impressed me is that the tofu is cooked extremely well done which makes it satisfying chewy and an adequate meat substitute. No mushy tofu here! read more

If you are looking for authentic Chinese food, you don't want to miss out this spot. This place reminds me of my college memories. I would order takeout from here after class. Good old time~ tomato with beef stew was one of my favorite dishes. The sauce was very flavorful and perfect to eat with rice. Fish filet was tender and not too spicy. Shredded potato texture was spot on and well-seasoned. read more

Stopped by Coco's near my kids' apartment. Read about their positive reviews so I had to try. Loved that they had pork in garlic sauce and Szechuan shrimp. The pork in garlic sauce had all of the right ingredients I love about the dish. Thinly sliced pork, shredded bamboo, cloud ear and of course garlic sauce. I asked them to make it spicy. That was my error. It was very spicy and it took away from the dish. Next time just a tad spicy. The Szechuan shrimp was good and tasty as well. Probably a bit too much sliced onion for my test but it was all right. Can't wait to try other dishes on the menu. read more

If I was just rating on the food, this would be a 10 out of five. Whenever I'm spending the day at OSU, I make sure to stop here, even if it's just for take out. I've tried multiple items, but my favorite is the classic Tofu Pad Thai and the crab Rangoon. The portion size is huge, even with lunch sizes. The ambiance is typical of a college-town Chinese restaurant, but maybe a little better. The last couple of times I've been there, the soda machine hasn't had the carbonation, the drinks weren't good. The service is quick, friendly, and makes great for a fast lunch. Ordering ahead is available. Hopefully, you enjoy as much as I do! read more

Cocos is one of the my go to Chinese places since they offer a wide variety of really authentic Chinese dishes. However, with a wide selection, knowing what to pick is key and I chose to talk about the 3 dishes that I got. Braised pork belly: the pork belly was well cooked and flavourful. A classic dish that has great balance of meat and fat. I would have braised it a smidge longer to get more flavour into the pork but it is still a very well made dish. Definitely a must try if you have not. Dan Dan noodles: my expectations of Dan Dan noodles is a noodles dish with minced meat on. Top but their take was noodles with chili oil. Definitely interesting. Sweet and sour pork ribs: honestly, they did a decent job at balancing the sweet and sour profile but I would have fried the ribs instead of braising it as it was lacking a little crunch but a great dish to whet your appetite nonetheless read more

We tried mapo tofu but it's not authentic at all, small amount for the price too. We thought they should be a sichuan chinese restaurant but guess not from the dish we tried. read more

Ordered online on a Wednesday around 7 pm. Very easy system to order online. The food was ready in ~15 minutes. The menu was very large and had many options. The prices were pretty reasonable. The portions were very large! I was able to have many meals out of my order of cashew chicken. The sauce and chicken were very good. My meal was ~$13. Overall a good takeout experience! read more

CoCo's Grill - a meal of chicken, broccoli, and rice - Japanese Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

The Lo Mein was like dry boiled spaghetti, and no chop sticks, soy sauce, or napkins were provided. 0 out of 5 stars. Would not recommend.

This used to be my go to take out place but the quality of the fried rice went way down since they stopped including egg and it doesn't taste the same any more. Quality of the entrees went down too and the last time I ordered the sesame chicken some pieces were mushy and others were rock hard with horrible quality meat. They also don't include fortune cookies. I'll come back if they fix these issues. read more

I lived off this food in college when I was craving my parents' home cooked meals. I love the scallion chicken and green pepper frog legs. 10/10 recommend if you're looking for something authentic near campus. Owners are also very nice - they started remembering my regular order lol read more

CoCo's Grill - Japanese Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

I would rate this restaurant 2.5 stars. I believe that when a restaurant has a vast selection of dishes of different nationalities, the dishes are generally just average. And this restaurant fits that generalization. We ordered spicy fish in chili oil, cantonese beef chow fun and Singapore fried noodle. The beef chow fun was the worst dish out of the order. The beef was marinated kind of funny and I couldn't pin point the issue. The fun was mushy. The flavor overall was very off. The Singapore fried noodle with shrimps was rather bland. At least the noodle was not mushy. It just lacked curry flavor and was not spicy at all. The shrimps were decent size but were overcooked. The spicy fish in chili oil was the best choice. It was not very spicy but I'm okayed with that. It is by far the best dish out of three. There were less fish fillets than what I'm used to but the price was also cheaper than other restaurants. read more

Definitely a Szechuan-style carryout place a tad west of campus, you get good authentic Chinese at a reasonable price. Comfortably fed 4 people with 3 large portion dishes. We ordered 2 southern Chinese staples: beef chow fun (fried wide rice noodle) and Singapore fried rice noodle w/shrimp. They were ok with ample meat, but the flavors were a bit weak. The chow fun was slightly mushy and the Singapore noodle needed a bit more curry flavor and spice. Still, they were tasty and large. The best dish was the Szechuan chili fish bowl, a truly spiced up tilapia entree with plenty of sauce. Make sure you have plenty of rice to lap up all the good chili sauce. As Szechuan style is Coco's specialty, it makes sense that this dish shines amongst the 3 we ordered. They also have on their menu intestines, tripe, pigs feet, frog legs if you wanna be really authentic and adventurous. Might be worthwhile if you're dining with international students. Service was prompt (carryout ready in under 15 minutes) and remarkably, the fortune were fresh and crispy. Clean and spartan dining area if you wanna eat there. read more

Spice, spice, baby. As someone who spent every weekend growing up feasting on Szechuan food, I naturally had to find an outlet for my spicy routine when I moved to the city. CoCo's Grill has become such a steady staple in my dinner rotation that you could probably say that I'm a regular now. As a regular, the staff can almost pick out my voice on the phone and anticipate my dinner plans fit for a family of 5 (no shame, I like to eat). On arrival for pickup, I can always expect a mini Chinese practice session from the staff (make sure to tell my mom). My go-to order is typically a variation of the Singapore noodle, Szechuan chili fish bowl, and the Ma Po tofu. See a trend in my order? If you're looking to expand your horizons in the world of take-out, I highly recommend visiting CoCo's Grill. Maybe be a little adventurous and order up spicy dishes while you're at it. read more

Then delivery presentation was perfect and trust me its more important than most restaurant's want to admit. Thank you for providing utensils and sauces. Customers that want those things DO appreciate not having to beg for them. Delivered HOT AND TIMELY! My husband said his Pad Thai was tasty, slightly lacking in spice but tasty. He would've liked it to have been more bold flavor wise, our 1 year old on the other hand seemed pretty satisfied. The Beef lo mein was the greasiest mein, lo, fun or chow that I've ever had --- the meat was tender and seasoned well. I wish there had been more meat for the $13 price tag, I'd think at least 1/4 lb but it had like 3 thin beef skirt strips. I might try other things on the menu in the future and update this review, if it were truly awful -- I'd not even bother and definitely would leave a "bad" review. Their menu is HUGE & inviting to adventurous eaters like my family and I. read more

Lots of option and versatility on the menu. Highly recommend the Chinese hot and spicy chicken.

My friend and I did takeout here a few weeks ago and it was great! He's ordered it before but I was a first timer and it did not disappoint. I ordered Lo Mein with shrimp. It was a generous number of noodles which I was a fan of and the shrimp was some REAL shrimp not some little salad shrimp. The noodles had great flavor and I am definitely coming back. Also the service was super speedy, very convenient. read more

This is hands down my favorite Chinese place in Columbus, and I order from them regularly. They are quick, follow order notes to a T, and my pick-up/delivery order always arrives correct and piping hot. After ordering their food more times than I can count, I can easily say my go-to dishes are: Tofu steak - A bit spicy and a great texture, good choice for tofu beginners. Honestly I think it tastes kind of like buffalo wings. Choy sum - One of my FAVORITE leafy greens, which I can only find fresh here and at Red Chili Asian Kitchen. They make it vegan for me (garlic instead of oyster sauce). I can also recommend the Singapore rice noodles, garlic eggplant, spicy string beans, eggplant WITH green beans, and their potato or cauliflower chili pots. (If you have never had chili pot, please be aware you are supposed to eat around the peppercorns, which cause a "numbing" sensation in the mouth.) My omnivorous partner likes the string beans and garlic chicken. They have an expansive menu of both American-Chinese dishes and authentic Chinese dishes and I have only had a a fraction. I have not loved everything I tried, but I think it was more a matter of personal tastes and not quality of food. In terms of Chinese take-out, their quality and freshness definitely seems to be at the better end of the spectrum. read more

I picked up a few dishes for my family and though the food is good, the service is always slow and incredibly frustrating. We placed our order online and entered our credit card for payment. When I picked up, I expected to just get my food and go, but yet I still had to present payment. Not sure where my credit card # went online and neither did the cashier. He had no explanation and was less than helpful. Shouldn't you know what your website functionality is?! The menu is huge and overwhelming as well. Not sure why so many redundant dishes are needed. Update- restaurant still has not resolved my duplicate credit card charge and says I need to sort it out with my credit company, despite having receipts and email confirmations showing they did indeed charge me twice. SMH. I am never eating at this restaurant again. read more

CoCo's Grill - Clockwise from the top - stir fried lamb with cumin, pork with garlic sauce, spicy sautéed pig ear - Japanese Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

Coco's is the most consistent American-Chinese place I've found so far in Columbus -- the fact that it's so close to my house is a serious perk. A lot of American-Chinese food is too sweet or too oily for my tastes, but Coco's is never that. The food's really affordable and it's always made so quickly that I barely have time to drive over to pick it up before it's ready. I'm a creature of consistency and their Beijing Pork is probably my favorite dish on the menu, but I was a devotee of the Singapore Noodles for a long time before that. That being said, there's a lot more on this menu worth exploring. The chili fish hot pot was really good when I got it (appropriately hot, but not in a way that blocked out the flavor), and I'm always eyeing more adventurous dishes like the intestines. Maybe that's why I like this place so much: there's the right balance of familiar dishes, but if you want to branch out beyond the familiar American-Chinese food you know, it's very easy to do so. Plus, I always end up with leftovers from this place. read more

Very rude workers. Food is overpriced and not great . Have had issues with the same person and so has my coworkers.

Fantastic Szechuan food. Authentic, delicious and spicy. Been looking for good Chinese in Columbus for a long time. Struck gold here.

It took me a year to find the best Chinese food in Columbus and this place is it! Everything is always so delicious and authentic. I never sat down to eat, the inside is a tad small. But this is my go-to for take out. Also, I don't know how they do it, but they make everything SO fast. When I pick it up or when I get it delivered, it is still pipping hot when I eat it! Great prices too for the size of everything. I always have leftovers for days! read more

I was in a "Netflix and chill" mode, spending the night in with myself this past weekend and decided to order some Uber Eats. I was really craving some General Tso's with tofu and by golly, that's exactly what I got. After doing a quick search and then double-checking Coco's reputation on Yelp, I tacked on some crab Rangoon and pressed "order." Let the waiting game begin! It didn't take too long to get delivered, especially with it being a weekend night, and everything arrived piping hot. I was pleased to receive enough white rice to go with my giant portion of tofu and the flavor of the General Tso's sauce was spot on. Although the texture wasn't the best. It was a bit gelatinous and even a little clumpy towards the bottom. The size of the tofu was also larger than I would like. I almost needed a knife to cut the pieces in half. Overall, it was pretty tasty but could use some improvements if I were to order it more regularly. The crab Rangoon wasn't too bad either. It was definitely stuffed full of goodness, but the little pillows could have been fried a little longer. They were a wee bit soft, which made the over texture a little odd for me. I'm also very much a texture person so this issue could be unique to my taste. All in all, I would try this place again and at the moment I give it a solid three stars. The portion size was nice and the delivery process was smooth as butter. The price was reasonable and the flavor was great. read more

I think CoCos must be a matter of taste. I was looking forward to the lavash egg drop soup. It was... lazy and flavorless. For the boiled chicken and spinach to be worth it, the EGG needs to have some part of the flavor. There was no egg flavor or texture. A small skim of oil on the top and the taste reflected the stock-standard vegetable oil I'm sure they use in the grills. It was really bland and Not egg drop or anywhere near egg-flavor. The general Tao's was good. Good sauce to breading ratio. The pork with smashed garlic was good but had more heat than flavor. The chicken with scallions and ginger was also bland. No ginger flavor at all and definitely that commercial oil taste. It was also bone-in, which is fine if you expect it. I expected more subtlety and richness of flavors for their reputation. I was not expecting to pour $20 of our meal into the trash. read more

Who ever heard of a Chinese restaurant called Coco's Grill?? Call it what you want, this place makes some tasty stuff. The menu is vast. Their specialty is Sichuan so I recommend sticking with that. The Sichuan Beef Chili Bowl must have a pound of beef in it and the spiciness is not tame. The dishes and methods here seem very traditional. This is not a hipster, "foodie" joint, just a great place to get traditional Sichuan food. read more

My coworkers and I wanted to get lunch from a nearby Chinese place and this seemed like it for the bill. He meant was extensive so everyone could get what they wanted which was a plus. We ordered grouch Uber Eats and our order arrived very quickly. I got the Mongolian need, fried rice and egg roll with a drink. We also got some chicken lo mein to share between us while my coworkers got sesame chicken and orange chicken. The positive was that the food was hot, the taste, texture and quality all disappointed. The Mongolian beef was incredibly disappointing. First off it was very, very spicy. I know it's supposed to be spicy but I think they accidentally dropped a container of red pepper flakes in it and couldn't get them all out. The beef was subpar but edible. Unfortunately there was not much beef, my meal was mostly white onion and scallions. The fried rice that came with it was bad and not worth it and the egg roll was soggy and old tasting. Chicken lo mein was ok but I have had much better. To top it off they didn't bring our drinks. There are some good Chinese places in Columbus including good Szechuan. This is not on of them. read more

Had the chicken pad thai the other day and its just ok. Not sure how or why its "famous". Has a tart taste to it almost, not terrible but not the best Ive had locally. Hardly any vegetables also. A tad more chicken than hardly. Stomach wasn't happy with this food! Will look elsewhere before trying another dish here. Service was pleasant and quick. read more
