Doordashed a 6 piece bucket OG for a late lunch. I had to, especially the chicken and sauces are gluten free. I chose the CQDQ Verde and Gochujang BBQ as my dipping sauces. I would not get the BBQ one again, but the verde sauce was pleasant. I enjoyed the chicken, it was tasty. I would definitely order again to try the soy glaze. Also the pickled daikon was good but was only 4 pieces of it read more

Coqodaq - 6-Piece Bucket - Korean Near Me - New York, New York

We were very impressed by the intriguing and chic design of the restaurant when we arrived for dinner. The well-trained staff made us feel right at home as our server took our drink and dinner order. The Caesar Salad came first and was delicious -- had a wonderful tang with just a touch of heat as well. Then came our first bucket of chicken which was cooked to perfection, along with the banchan (pickled daikon, kimchi, cole slaw, etc) and an array of tasty sauces to accompany the chicken. The chicken was truly stand out. Insanely crisp and delicate batter, with tender and juicy chicken meat inside. Our cocktails soon arrived. I ordered The Egg which was actually disappointing. It tasted medicinal and unfortunately (for me) didn't live up to its being the featured so prominently on their menu. We plowed through our banchan and asked for more as replenishment was included in our meal. However, the staff was slow to bring replacements and when they came, they didn't bring all of the dishes we requested -- no cole slaw, no pickled daikon -- which, for the high prices, was kind of off-putting. For $52 per person for chicken, the restaurant should have been very quick to refill our banchan. The noise and atmosphere was another story. The atmosphere is festive and this restaurant attracts a loud crowd so be prepared for it. Overall, delicious food. Cool atmosphere. Service was good (except the banchan replenishment). Noise was outrageously loud (even unbearable at times). The cost was $450 for 4 people which is pretty steep for a chicken dinner, albeit an upscale one. Can't say I would recommend this one, but I'm sure it will do well with influencers and tourists. read more

Respect is given to The Bird here at COCODAQ. Enjoyed the presentation, the seductive ambiance, and the quality sides and main course. And LOVED the presentation of the chicken in a bucket! (Although, it must be said that the pieces were arranged around the top half of the container... it is not a well of fried chicken for better or worse :~) I would definitely go there again on my next trip to NYC... the quest for something to top LA's late Tokyo Fried Chicken continues! (If you knew that spot and know of a contender, at me) read more

I wish I could say that I recommend but I wouldn't and I wouldn't come back either. I've been wanting to come here and I finally snagged a resy and came to celebrate a birthday but my expectations were not met. My rating is only for the food, because I feel that good service should always be the bare minimum. They gave us complimentary champagne for the birthday but the food is just so underwhelming We got the bucket list ($52/pp) which gives you 10 pieces of chicken as well as banchan, coleslaw, spicy tteokbokki, savory egg soufflé, cold perilla seed noodle, and soft serve frozen yogurt. We also ordered one of each of the golden nuggets. The golden nuggets were way too salty. It completely masked the flavor of the caviar. My favorite was the black gold with seasonal truffle but even then, the truffle flavor was not as strong as I would've liked. I do appreciate the amount of caviar they put on top but I didn't enjoy it as much as I was expecting to. I've had better caviar The fried chicken is not better than fried chicken that I've had from other establishments but I do like the gochujang glaze the best. I did appreciate the banchan. I've never had kimchi the way they prepared it and I really enjoyed it. The scallion salad was also a nice touch The tteokboki was kind of undercooked. It was very chewy. The cold perilla seed noodle was also super salty. Savory egg soufflé was one of the better items. I also ordered the beef tallow French fries but I didn't really taste the beef tallow The soft serve frozen yogurt was a nice finishing touch. Because everything was so salty so the tarteness from the froyo was a good palate cleanser Sadly wouldn't recommend :( more of an aesthetic instagram pic place read more

Elevated fancy Korean fried chicken. Very high end vibes type restaurant for some delicious Korean food and beautiful atmosphere. The quality and attention to detail for some of the dishes was amazing. We all got the weekend brucket list and got to taste a bit of everything. The salmon and roe hashbrown was to die for. We totally loved dipping our fries into the yummy vanilla bean cream that was supposed to go on the toast logs lol. Service was also top tier as they were all so welcoming and accommodating. We got the soy garlic chicken and gochujang chicken which were yummy but ok for Korean fried chicken imo. The gochujang wasn't spicy for me but I like that they gave a selection of sauces on the side to dip. At the end of the brucket we got to enjoy some dessert! On the menu it said we had between two options but while dining we didn't get to choose. They just brought out a plate of toppings and froyo cups. There were little fruit cups to add your own toppings and create your own little froyo cup. The froyo was VERY tart but with the fruits it definitely helped balance it all and was a nice refreshing treat after eating all that food. read more

I've seen the hype. I've seen all of the IG post about it. Those reservations filled up quick during prime time. And it looks expensive af. Luckily a few years later after opening, they decided to participate in Restaurant Week, so I took this as an opportunity to finally try them out at a much affordable price. I'm glad I did it then rather than their regular menu pricing. I snuck out of work during my lunch break and was able to walk-in without a reservation, mainly because it's a minimum party size of two to book a reservation. I was still able to get a table seat rather than a bar seat or at one of the hightop tables. Upon entering the restaurant, you walk right up to the famous hand washing station, which I used both upon entering and after my meal. It took the hostess a good five minutes to get back to her the hostess stand after what appears to be seating another party. I would think they would have two people managing if the space is that big. The table service is fantastic and follows the standard of a fine dining establishment. The Restaurant Week lunch menu was three course for $60 per person. The first course was The Golden Nugget, which I choose 24 Karat. You get one nugget and this may have been the best nugget I've ever ate. Not because of the caviar that is on top, but how the chicken nugget was well prepared. I love the McDonald's chicken nuggets and somehow they were able to top that. The send course is the main, which I choose The Bucket List, which comes with three pieces of the Original and three pieces of either the Soy Garlic or Gochujang Glaze. I chose Soy Garlic. These were alright. I wasn't really impressed with either for a spot that is hyped up to be the best fried chicken. You probably could have just went to BB.Q Chicken in K-town and got the same thing for the same quality, more quantity and for a lot cheaper. The side sauces that comes with the original was a nice touch however. Along with the main course, this also came a choice between four different sides: Spicy Tteokbokki, Mac & Cheese, Coleslaw, and Beef Tallow French Fries. I unregrettably got and consumed the entire Beef Tallow French Fries. There were also other various side dishes that came with the main, which I picked here and there. Lastly, they served a cup of Soft Serve Frozen Yogurt with seasonal fruit. It was a good way to end the meal Along with the meal, I made my bill more expensive as I really wanted to try their famous "The Egg" drink (yes, I secretly drank on the job). The presentation was pretty and I had to resist drinking this soo quickly as you're supposed to let "the egg" melt as that's the alcohol. Tasted great and worth the splurge. Well there you go, that's my experience. It's one of those try it once to say that you tried it. Other than that, probably not a place I'd venture back as a returning customer, unless there's some sort of special occasion to do so. read more

Such a fun and a fabulous place for a brunch in the heart of New York! When you first walk in, you have to wash your hands, and even all of the soaps offered were very fancy which set off the vibe to begin with. Once you get seated the menus offer a lot of fun, different cocktails. You pick a main and then there are a lot of shared dishes for the table, I thought this was a fabulous set up so you got to try a bunch of different dishes without having to order full sizes of them all I got the açai bowl which was nothing short of delicious. I tried my friends fried chicken, which was so good. The service was very attentive, the price was reasonable for all of the food we got, and I would definitely come back here again! read more

Korean/Southern fusion shop in the Food Village at the US Open in 2026. They have COQODAQ as a parent restaurant, and here they have a Golden Chicken Nugget ($100!) dish that includes caviar and creme fraiche - which they ran out of until 5p. I mean, signature dish and all -- how do you plan so poorly that you don't have enough? Secondly the regular chicken nuggets - chicken was good quality, but the rice flour outside was terrible (overcooked oil flavor, and very greasy), and the three dipping sauces - the Gochujang BBQ: was a terrible mix of the two -- should be just plain BBQ or with Gochujang, but together they made a bitter-spice-sour mix, the honey mustard was sharp and no sense of sweet, and the third- if it was CQDQ Verde or pepper -- not great if I couldn't tell the difference, it was still terrible. Whatever seedless oil they're using to cook the nuggets in was too used, it tasted like old oil to me. The CQDQ stand at the US Open's Food Village offers chicken wings and a package of six chicken nuggets and three sauces for $26. Includes 3 meager pieces of pickled radish. $100 for six chicken nuggets and a 30-gram tin of Petrossian caviar, with more than 100 caviar orders placed a day for the Godl Nuggets when they have them. Really, an instagrammer/social media ploy? The nuggets the group generally agreed - terrible and couldn't hold a lick to Wendy's or McDonald's... sad as that was, came in after cafeteria nuggets. read more

Food: I have been wanting to try COQODAQ for a while now and finally had a chance to recently. I went with a group of six people, and we each did The Bucket List set meal for $52 per person which includes chicken consomme, signature sauces, ban-can (kimchi, pickled peppers), coleslaw, spicy rice cakes (a favorite of the group), egg souffle, cold perilla seed noodle, soft serve frozen yogurt, and pieces of the fried chicken (original flavor, soy garlic, and gochujang). The fried chicken pieces included wings and thigh meat (all dark meat pieces). All items besides the fried chicken are refillable and unlimited. We also ordered the mac and cheese and onion rings on the side (additional cost) which were both excellent; I would highly recommend these sides. The quality of all of the food was excellent. Each piece of chicken was perfectly fried, and the chicken was very moist inside. Although I enjoyed the food and everything was of great quality, this is not a restaurant I will go back to. For the price per person, I felt that the portion of fried chicken was on the smaller side. The fried chicken was also nothing particularly special that would make me want to go here over another Korean fried chicken restaurant. The restaurant also felt very upscale, stuffy, and fancy. Service: Service was phenomenal. Staff were attentive and friendly. There are plenty of staff around if you need something. Ambiance: The restaurant is very nice, and the decor is beautiful. It's a very upscale vibe. Seating was very tight in a booth for six people. Overall, I would recommend this restaurant to try once for the experience, but it's not a place I will go back to over and over again. read more

Loved my experience at Cocodaq. It's a very different experience: When you enter there are two sinks and a soap bar. You have a variety of soap options, and they're likely the best you'll ever use. First we were seated at the high tables, but they're too narrow and are shared with other parties. The manager was kind enough to find us a different table even though it was extremely busy. Very much appreciated that. We ordered multiple chicken bucket lists and the fish and chips. The chick was fantastic and we tried the original, soy garlic, and Gochujang sauce. All were very good, but the original and Gochujang were probably my favorites. The Mac and cheese was also very good. It was al dente and wasn't overly cheesy like a lot of versions are these days. The coconut shrimp was also excellent. Hard to go wrong here. The vibe was great and I would definitely come back. read more

The best way to describe this place is a fried chicken restaurant set in a clubbing nightlife vibe. I feel the main reason you'd come here is if you're looking for a party vibe while eating rather than coming here for the food itself. Let me start by saying that the food is really good and that alone is a good reason to come here. The caviar nugget's are just luxury all in one bite and the fried chicken is really crispy and juicy. You get an assortment of sauces that you can add to the chicken to give it different flavors that are common in regular chicken spots. The waiter was really helpful in explaining the menu but the part that knocks this place down a point for me is the wait and actually getting service after ordering. Good thing is that we got some nuggets as an appetizer but it took upwards to probably 30-40 minutes to get our fried chicken. If you are enjoying drinks and socializing in a party aspect then I feel like this time would fly by faster. The place does look really nice and is nice with its dimly lit lighting, but the thing I'd note is that it is really loud. It's just like you're in a club where you have to try and scream over the loud music in order to talk to each other but I think that's part of the aesthetic. Overall this is a cool place to try but not mainly for the food. You come here for the vibe as the chicken is only slightly better than some of my favorite Korean fried chicken spots. This is also probably the only restaurant that I know of where you can actually order the chicken nugget with a huge spoon of caviar on it. read more

Confirmed why I didn't want to come here to begin with. Is it good? Yes. Is it worth it? No. It's slightly better nuggets and korean fried chicken. Good service, nice environment, but that's it. I'd rather order from a local korean fried chicken spot and then get a billion sides, snacks, and drinks. Feel like that'd be more satisfying. The onion rings taste like the Nongshim korean onion ring snack (which is a good thing). read more

The ambiance here is great! Very fun and the interior is so pretty. We had a reservation Saturday night and were seated a few minutes after arriving. We were a party of 5 and shared the bucket list which comes with their fried chicken, kimchi, coleslaw, tteokbokki, sauces and soft serve at the end. We also ordered Mac and cheese, chicken and curry, and fries as additional sides. The quantity was great and very filling for all of us. I actually preferred the original flavor for the chicken over their soy glaze and gochujang sauce. The soft serve at the end was very tart, and the passion fruit glaze added more of a tartness to it if that's your preference. Out of the sides I liked the Mac and cheese the most and felt the chicken and curry was ok. The coleslaw and fries were good as well. Overall it was a fun time and great vibes! read more

I finally scratched this place off my list of restaurants to try! We got lucky and scored a resy for their enclosed patio. We arrived and had a mix-up with the time, but the host was great and accommodated us with the soonest bar seating available. Our bartender was able to break down the menu and answer any questions. Of course, we started off with the 1st part which was a bunch of different delicious bites worth trying. For the main course, we were recommended to try all 3 styles of the fried chicken (soy garlic, gochujang, and OG) which was accompanied with a selection of pickled veggies and the most refreshing scallion salad I've tried. To end, the last part included a frozen dessert option which was refreshing enough and not so filling to end the experience. One thing I can say is we did order the beef tallow fries, but never received them. Unfortunately, we realized this when it was much too late. Our server checked in with us probably once so it was pretty easy to get lost with time and not realize those things. Other than that, the food and experience is worth checking out if you haven't yet but not a jaw-dropper. read more

Luxury chicken I don't think I would've tried this restaraunts if not for restaraunt week. I love that the restaraunt week menu is much more accessible $60 pp for lunch monday-friday. It sucks they don't offer this menu for dinner but I get it You can tell it's not your average McD chicken nugget. Coqodaq chicken is scrumptious and juicy. You can pair their bucket of plain chicken with the interesting sauces- my favorite was the green one! I drenched it The truffle nugget was much more unique tasting than the caviar one. The mac and cheese is to die for and I love how I finish my meal off with passion fruit frozen yogurt. read more

The signature fried chicken was very good. The oysters and bibimbap were also delicious. The waffles were a bit dry/plain the fried chicken and waffles. Overall, very delicious but a bit too pricy. There were some mistakes with my order, but the waiter was able to correct them. Walked in when they opened at 11:30 AM, and they had plenty of bar and outdoor patio seating available for a group of two. It was a bit hot outdoors, even with the fan. I was also disappointed that Restaurant Week lunch wasn't offered on weekend--but that's on me for not checking more closely. read more

Coqodaq takes Korean fried chicken to the next level. I can't believe it's gluten free! It's the best possible place to bring your gluten free friends. Definitely do the set menu when you're there. It comes with an enormous amount of fried chicken for the price. It's an insane value. The chicken was hot, crispy, and perfectly brined. They course out the chicken so that you start with the sauced and end with the plain with condiments on the side. My favorite sauce was definitely the passion fruit honey mustard- it was excellent. It usually comes with the coconut shrimp, so ask for it when you're there. We also got both the truffle nugget and the caviar nugget. Both are excellent but if you have to pick, caviar all the way. One of my favorite parts of the experience was the handwashing station when you walk in. They have *all* the fancy hand soaps, like Baccarat Rouge 540. It's a very swanky start and leaves your hands clean to enjoy fried chicken the right way. If you're a fried chicken aficionado, this is your new favorite restaurant. I heard brunch is great, that'll be my next visit! read more

Finally made it there and would try to visit again for the regular menu. We went for the brunch tasting menu for $53/person (The Brucket List™) and it wasn't quite Michelin level but intrigued us enough that we'd try again. We went there with a reservation and were unfortunately late to arrive. So we lost our table and after a long wait were seated at the bar. We ordered our drinks which weren't average looking or named - I will admit. Mine was "The Egg" and had an egg looking fruit? inside it. The food came one after another, and was explained well by the staff. We thought the flavors in most were good but not great. There were only 2 standout dishes for us the rilettes and the lettuce salad. The rest were presented well but had some missing element so they failed to "wow" us. Now the fried chicken was good, but not the best we've had. All in all it was a good experience if you go with enjoyable company and like trying different items to share. read more

Just FYI, don't bother coming here unless you are planning to spend at least $100/person (and that's just the VERY BARE minimum). Brought my bf here for his birthday. It was hard very hard to get reservations, and barely got a high top at 9 p.m. So book ahead! Once we got inside, I immediately noticed the interior which looked very elegant with the bright arches of lights in the dining area. To start off, we ordered the 24K with Tsar Imperial Daurenki Caviar* which was so delicious!!! Every bite tasted like a piece of heaven. We also got the $52 Chef's Signature Fried Chicken Feast. In our opinion, the original fried chicken was #1 the best! #2 Gochujang and #3 Soy garlic glaze. I liked the original the best also because we were able to try different dipping sauces with the pieces. Was impressed by their large selection of champagnes and got a bottle that went well with the fried chicken. The sides were good as well, especially the egg soufflé. The only thing I wasn't fond of was the soft serve...thought it was kind of nasty...but then again, I hate the taste of sherbert (if that's what was it really was. Overall, I would come back here again so I could try the different appetizers and champagnes to go with the food. Sitting in the lower dining area would be more comfortable as well. I will say the food is very overpriced, but then again what place ISN'T in NYC! read more

Had some hiccups with service, but Angel more than made up for it (thank you!). The chicken at Coqodaq is unique, compared to your typical Korean fried chickens (think Pelicana, bbq). However, is it "better"? For the texture, it's a thicker, extremely crunchy coat, probably from the extra frying iterations. And that is a pleasure to have. But at the same time, I don't mind a more thin crispy fry from bbq either, so it all comes down to preference, so that is up to you. In terms of the sauces, I cannot say that the flavor is strictly better than other places. They all have their merits. With Pelicana doing a more heavy garlic flavor concentration, and bbq is a bit sweeter for me, and Coqodaq has a bit more tang/acidity. But to each their own. In terms of the overall tasting, it's a pretty good one. You get a decent amount of food, side dishes, and playing around with the sauces at the restaurant is pretty fun too. It's an experience you should definitely have at least once. The place seems well accustomed to corporate events and parties as well. read more

I went to COQODAQ with my sister for a sister date and overall we had a really good experience. We had a reservation but still ended up waiting almost 30 minutes before getting a table which was a little frustrating considering we actually had a reservation. The restaurant itself is beautiful. The dark interior, warm lighting, gorgeous bar, and overall atmosphere give it a very intimate, upscale vibe. It's definitely one of those restaurants where the ambiance is part of the experience. For drinks, I ordered the Alaska Martini, which I really enjoyed. I completely forgot what my sister ordered . For appetizers, we had the Coqonut Shrimp and Caesar salad, then we ordered the Bucket List for our main meal. The fried chicken was crispy, juicy, and flavorful, but I actually loved how much came with the Bucket List. It included several sides, so you really get to try a little bit of everything. We had the spicy tteokbokki, coleslaw, savory egg soufflé, and cold perilla. The cold perilla was easily one of my favorites probably the best I've ever had. I was not expecting to love it that much. The Bucket List also comes with soft-serve frozen yogurt at the end, which was the perfect way to finish the meal after all the fried chicken and savory sides. Overall, the food was delicious, the portions were generous, the presentation was beautiful and the atmosphere made it feel like a proper sister date. I'd definitely come back. 4/5 stars, with the main reason for taking off a star being the almost 30 minutes wait despite having a reservation. read more

Cocodaq is exactly the kind of restaurant New York does best: buzzy, stylish, a little over-the-top, and completely worth it. The moment you walk in, you know you're in for a fun night. We did the Bucket List menu, which starts with consommé and banchan before delivering the main event: arguably the best fried chicken I've had. Cocodaq's use of air-chilled organic chicken, gluten-free rice flour, and lighter oil creates an impossibly crisp exterior while keeping the meat juicy and flavorful. The original chicken was the standout, though the soy garlic and gochujang versions were excellent too. The cold noodle was underwhelming. Don't skip the tteokbokki or the fluffy egg soufflé, and finish with the tart passion fruit froyo. Yes, pairing fried chicken with Champagne is a fun gimmick, but a cold beer still feels like the perfect match. Cocodaq isn't chasing perfection or a Michelin star. It's focused on delivering an elevated, distinctly New York fried chicken experience--and it absolutely succeeds. Expensive? Yes. Worth prioritizing now that reservations are easier to get? Also yes. read more

The food was fine. The service and vibes were off. We arrived at 5:30 to our 5:15 reservation (right at the mark of 15 min grace period). The host said we only have an hour left to eat. I asked her if every table is limited to an hour. She said that we are late so we only have an hour to eat. I said "So you're telling me every table here is limited to an hour and fifteen minutes to eat?" She said yes. I don't know if that's true or not , but it did not feel good to hear that. We came here for a special occasion because it's so hard to get a booking so we looked forward to it. We are celebrating a birthday and plan to spend at least $200, to be limited to one hour of eating. Not that we even plan to stay long, but it didn't sit right with the tone she said it in. Once we got seated, within the first few minutes several people came to ask if we were ready to order yet. It's fine but the whole experience felt so rushed. It didn't feel like there was time for a good conversation since everything was so fast. The food came out crazy fast too (not to put any blame on the restaurant). Chicken + side dishes, more chicken, immediate dessert, immediate check. Someone came to our table twice to ask how our food tasted. On her second ask, she kindly asked if we wanted side dish refills. We said we would like the peppers only, nothing else needed. She said great, she'll bring them to us. No peppers were given the rest of the meal. All in all the food was fine. The place is decorated beautifully but it was so loud in there it was hard to hear anything. It was not a great experience for us overall. I think we'll stick with BBQ chicken or Pelicana instead. read more

Coqodaq - Chicken The Bucket List for 2 - Korean Near Me - New York, New York

I couldn't really tell if the viral Coqodaq is worth the money, but I heard the chicken was actually good, so we decided to try it out one night when we didn't feel like going out. We ordered two 5-piece buckets of chicken for $29 each, which is quite expensive because it was one wing, one drumette, one drumstick, and a couple chunks of chicken thigh (can't remember if there was breast). We also ordered the mac ($14), spicy tteokbokki ($10), and a gochujang grilled chicken bowl ($26). Without a doubt, the chicken is good, fried crispy with juicy meat inside. The batter was slightly too greasy and heavy for me personally, but it felt pretty normal for Korean fried chicken. The mac had a nice cheese flavor from the Gruyère, and the tteokbokki was fairly spicy. I loved the green sauce that came with the chicken. However, the price truly is ridiculous and I didn't find it good enough to be worth the cost. read more

The cold noodles were amazing after walking all around new york. The noodles were thin and had a good al dente chew and the vinaigrette carefully combined italian pasta with korean soba. By far, my favorite part of this meal. The chicken pieces were hearty and big. I can tell they did a wet batter then a dry batter, which is a little untraditional for korean fried chicken. I enjoyed the mini squeeze bottles for trying every sauce. The variety gave us 8 different combinations with the two flavors that we ordered. Lastly, the sinks upon entrance were magnificent. The luxury soap and diffused ring light mirrors gave a preview for the elevated experience to follow. Personally, I found a new favorite luxury soap I will be purchasing for my next holiday gifting season. read more

Went again after about 2 years and even though the service was nice and vibes were great the food just continues to be mid. Some notable bites were their banchans but the actual chicken is just way too salty. It has a good crunch and texture but the flavors were lacking. The soy marinated literally just taste like a thick soy sauce glaze with no other depth, def not was good as other Korean chicken spots. read more

I really wanted to love this place. The space is stunning, the service was genuinely great, attentive without being overbearing, and the original fried chicken? Legitimately delicious. Perfectly crispy, clean, not greasy at all. The chicken alone is worth talking about. But here's the thing. The sides completely derailed the meal for me. The egg custard tasted like burnt scrambled eggs, and I kept waiting for something to pull the meal together and it just never did. Everything felt disconnected, like the chicken and each individual side were from two different restaurants that had never met. Korean fried chicken is such a specific experience and the banchan is supposed to ground it and make it cohesive. This missed that mark pretty significantly. With this much hype, I expected the whole meal to land, not just one component. When the best thing you can say is "the chicken was great," that's a problem for a place billing itself as a full dining experience. Would I come back just to eat the chicken at the bar and skip the extras? Maybe. But as a full sit-down dinner it felt off balance and honestly a little disappointing given what it could be. read more

Coqodaq - Everything together (almost) - Korean Near Me - New York, New York

We were here a year ago, and it was delicious. But today was unfortunately a very different experience. The nuggets were...gross. They smelled off, as did all the chicken. I believe the oil was either rancid or just yucky. The sides were good, but that was really all that was. And for four people, we paid over $300. Beware asking for refills of your Diet Coke. $5 each. Very disappointing, and an upset stomach for the rest of the day. read more

Cocodaq is a solid 4 if you're looking for a fancy place with good ambience, good service, and solid tasting food with a Korean flare. The food here is sort of a more whimsical play on Korean bar food. Though well executed, one should not expect authentic Korean flavors. For example, the teobokki was smothered in a sauce that resembled a sweet chili sauce that its authentic gochugaru counterpart. It's definitely worth trying for funsies, but it's not somewhere I would revisit. The price is simply too heavy for what it actually is - the caviar nugget included. The ambience, drinks, and service were really good, but the food was not worth the big price tag. read more

When I heard there was gluten free fried chicken in NYC, I needed to try! They are very accommodating to people with allergies. I came with a friend who has a soy allergy and the waiter was able to inform her which items were on/off limits. I had to order the bucket to get the whole experience. We also had to order the caviar nuggets, which had to be my favorite. I will definitely be returning! read more

Solid upscale spot for Korean fried chicken haha! We ordered the Bucket List and it was perfect for 4 people. It came with refillable banchan, a little different from the usual Korean spots but everything tasted prety good. The staff were super friendly and took the time to walk us through the menu and sauces. The restaurant itself is gorgeous, and they also have outdoor seating during the summer. Oh and a nice touch they have a bunch of luxury hand soaps in the front for you to wash your hands lol. Will be back to try out their caviar nuggets read more

Love this restaurant. The fried chicken which is why you go is amazing. We ordered piece by piece vs the bucket. If we went back we would only do the bucket. The Mac n cheese was good as were the fries. I have had better fries for sure. The one negative is it is extremely loud so don't go if you want to hear your guests. read more

5 stars, 10/10, exceeded expectations across the board. The food was delicious, the drinks were bomb and the vibe was immaculate. We sat at the bar and May took great care of us. It's always an A+ experience when the food and the vibes match the price tag, can't wait to return! OMG THE SAUCES HOW COULD I FORGET. If you order chicken, each person gets their own little condiment rack of 4 sauces and it was so fun to try them all, elite business move. read more

Overall, I thought this restaurant wasn't very good so ended up leaving and eating elsewhere. The chicken was okay? It was kind of crispy but I didn't think the sauce was that good. I've had a lot of Korean fried chicken as a Korean, so there was nothing special about it. It was somewhat expensive as well. There are so many better food options in NYC so I would hate for someone to waste a meal here unless they live here read more

Coqodaq - Chicken - Korean Near Me - New York, New York

Fried chicken and champagne...enough said. But I will say more. If you ever wonder how Korean fried chicken would taste when elevated to fine dining, you can find out at Coqodaq. Chardonnay champagne does pair well with fried chicken. 2 glasses down and I was still thinking about a third. Our servers were super nice and made sure we had everything we needed. Sinks in the front with 8 types of hand soaps were dope. Loved our experience. read more

I finally made it to Coqodaq after years of trying to get a reasonable reservation. It was good for sure, but not life-changing. The brunch set (with a price per person) comes with set appetizers and each person can pick their own entree. While most of the apps were on the saltier side (except for the toast), I enjoyed the kimbap and the shrimp salad. The spicy curry sauce for the croquettes was also quite tasty and I found myself using it for others as well. The hash brown was fried nicely but was a little too salty when paired with the fish. For the fried chicken, the batter was crunchy for the most part. The meat was tender, juicy, and well-seasoned. I still prefer the original chicken to the soy-glazed and the gochujang. Banchans were solid. They also got us complimentary froyo with fresh fruit toppings at the end. The decor is bougey and bright with leathered black seats. Its designed to be high-class with a DJ in the back. Staff were very smilely and frequently stopped by the table but not necessarily attentative/actually helpful. They were very kind nevertheless in helping out my friend who was visiting from another country. Overall I had a good meal but didn't live up to the crazy hype. read more
