Loved Cuckoo! Delicious sweet and spicy chicken sandwich... perfectly cooked, moist, fresh tasty bread... shoestring fries were great... hot and crispy served in the cutest little shopping cart. Milk tea was also great - we ordered 50% sugar and wished we'd maybe not done that though. So many other dishes we can't wait to try here.. such a cute place... look forward to our return! read more

Cuckoo - Honey Mustard Sandwich - Korean Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

So good! me and my daughter needed somewhere to eat that was quick and kid friendly. We ended up here and had a blast! I definitely recommend the pineapple smoothie with boba and cheese cloud. Other good dishes include the side of dumplings and the bi bim bop. The chicken looked amazing - which we'll order next time. read more

It was so cute inside! It said they were having their soft opening. Japanese/Korean foods and bubble tea and specialty drinks. I got a combo fruit tea which tasted great and it was a good size. I'm looking forward to coming back and trying some of the food. They have a very convenient kiosk for ordering. Cafe style with some basic seating inside. Looks great glad to have them nearby read more

This place had some crispy chicken, and the only thing that would make this place perfect is if they embraced the sauce. In my experience, Korean fried chicken is always so delicious because of the sauce, and there's usually a kick with the spice (if you want it of course). At cuckoo they have a good vehicle where the wings are sizable and the skin is crisp, but overall sauce flavors were pretty muted. Wish the soy garlic had a more prominent flavors, that the coconut curry had more curry flavor and that the sweet and spicy was spicier. However, the dipping sauce (mustard and...?) for the squid rings were fire. On top of that it seems like they try to incorporate new flavors every now and then (coconut curry and onion yogurt was featured). I was not dressed for the occasion but interior is super cute for photos, bright yellow and pink aesthetic. Would def come back here especially if I'm out having drinks in Andersonville. read more

Got the sweet and spicy chicken. Good crunch, good flavor, decent bun, ok toppings. Takoyaki was quite good, same for the sweet potato fries. Price is a tad steep, but worth it if you're craving Korean. read more

Delicious chicken. The pieces they use for the sandwiches are so thick and juicy and for only $10!

Chicken was very tasty & the brown sugar tea w/ tapioca hit the spot. Will try them for carry out next time.

Awesome food, super friendly staff: Saw this place recently open in Andersonville so I decided to try it out. Ordered the soy garlic chicken tenders and the pork rice bowl with a side of kimchi. Food was excellent! Place is really clean, and the staff were really cool. Definitely going back. read more

So happy to have Korean fried chicken in the neighborhood! Their boneless wings are juicy, tender, and with a perfect fried batter that coats your sauce of choice so well - we went with their sweet and spicy, and a curry. We also had the scallion pancake that was perfectly fried, not too oily, and went so well with our chicken. And don't forget a side of kimchi to help balance everything out! Milk tea was pretty good too, would love to know if they are BYOB because everything we ate would have been great with a bottle of soju and some beer. Staff was friendly and attentive! read more

just had an AMAZING shrimp teriyaki japanese don bowl at Cuckoo today. Was amazing and my dad loved his meal so much too. VERY tasty! 12/10 read more

We had a good experience at Cuckoo our two prior visits but today was a big disappointment. It was very greasy to the point that we didn't bother to finish it. There are long waits here so expect to wait at least double the time they say. I'm not bothered by that if it's worth the wait though. read more

Inexpensive, fast, and clean. I will be back. The bi bim bop was the best dish we ordered.

AMAZING! I had the shrimp teriyaki Don bowl and my dad had the chicken sandwich with the coconut curry sauce and said "I would put this sandwich up against any chicken sandwich in Chicago!" amazing customer service as well! 10/10 read more

Wanted to get some Korean food in Andersonville. Original choice does not open for lunch. Thus. We tried this place. We ordered the Combo which includes 10 wings, 1 pork bun, 2 pieces of takoyaki, a very small dish of radish and Kim chi. It was 29.99. It came up to just about $40 with tax and tips and no drink. Chicken was good but not the price for one person. read more

Long wait but the food was good. Not any different than the other Korean style chicken places I've visited and the food was a bit pricey. Lots of chicken places in this area so I suggest you try them and make up your own mine. I would order from them again when I have time to kill. The chicken pieces are big and the sauces are fire read more

Excellent food and service. We arrived 30 mins before close, but they couldn't have been more accommodating. Thai iced tea was delicious and the Korean chicken sandwich was juicy. Would get an extra sauce next time. Garlic soy tenders were very tasty and gloves were a good touch with the meal. Would definitely recommend to anyone who likes chicken, Japanese food or Korean food! You will not be disappointed. read more

I'm a big fan of this place and I come here a lot because it's close to my work. Very tasty and very friendly staff. I don't mean the staff is tasty, just the food. I love their dumplings, dipping sauce and pork buns and I'll often get their dons (Japanese rice bowl). They also have a rewards sticker card to earn a free drink (they have a whole drink, smoothie and bubble tea menu. read more

Such a fun spot with great tasting food. I got the chicken teriyaki bowl and my partner got the fried chicken sandwich. She raves about how good it was! Take note that it's bigger than the picture suggests. We also each got a fruit tea with 50% sugar; I'll second what others have said and go with 75% sugar next time as it was a little bitter even with the muddled strawberries. Took off a star because the ambiance is VERY yellow and there are lots of unnecessary stuffed animals on the tables. We moved them in order to eat. And the playlist of pop covers repeated itself in the 30 minutes we spent inside. I wonder if that might drive the staff up the wall! Overall, EXCELLENT food and bubble tea. The ambiance and decor could make it a really love spot to stay and hang out a while. read more

Great food, great service, and fun atmosphere. It's one of those places you can really taste the love. The pork in the pork buns could be a little leaner in my opinion. This is the only critique I can think to make regarding their food. I've tried about everything on the menu, and the chicken tenders and sandwiches and my two personal favorites. And the bubble tea being a standout. read more

This place confused me. I ordered a boba tea but it didn't come with boba. The note by the register said that milk teas come with boba, but does that mean the regular teas do not? It was a very odd, and they added in boba. Oh did I mention it was $8 WITHOUT boba?! read more

Would you like to go off the beaten path for some Korean Barbecue? If so try this place it's worth a shot. I tried the sampler box. Everything had a good spin. Except for the pork belly that which should be tender or at least not rubbery. But again everything else will give your palate a spin. The girl who took our order and served us was nice. I did notice some good pick up business goi g down. Good luck to them. read more

It's been a while since I came to this restaurant. Since I have no work I decided to come here and eat snacks. When I enter there are a lot of customers inside. I can't see any vacant tables and chairs to sit in. Since they have no vacant seats, I decided to order takeout. And also there are long lines at the counter. So I start to fall in line and I'm in the 4th line. It took just a minute before my turn because customers are fast and choose their order. I ordered a Honey Mustard Chicken Sandwich and a milk tea. Since I love boba I want to add more in ky milktea and it costs an additional fee. After I paid my order I saw one vacant so I sat there. After a minute my order came. The burger was so yummy and delicious. The milktea was sweet and cold. So I enjoy being here. read more

Really delish tendies. I chose the honey butter flavor and really enjoyed it: sweet but not *too* sweet. They're served with a bit of crisp pickles which refresh and help cleanse the palate. The strawberry smoothie was good as well, but I'll try the boba when I'm here next. Oh! Also, vital for any fried food, the takeout container was lined with foil! This helped keep the chicken tenders not just warm, but still perfectly crispy despite my long bus ride home. read more

The chicken tenders in the sweet/spicy sauce was solid. I love katsu dishes but I would not recommend this katsudon- they don't cut off the connective tissue of the pork so when you fry it, there are parts of the meat that are too chewy and dry. I think doing that extra easy step could have greatly improved the experience. I would probably also ask for less bonito flakes next time as well. I love an umami flavor but there were a couple bites that were way too fishy for my own personal taste. I will go back because I love Korean fried chicken and am curious about the boba, but I would avoid ordering savory things that aren't related to the fried chicken. read more

We LOVE Cuckoo Andersonville. This is the most adorable new restaurant, best boba tea! Korean chicken wings and oh so delicious korean chicken sandwiches. Cuckoo is cheerful and fun. It'll make you happy! read more

I am Cuckoo for Cuckoo!!! This is LITERALLY the best Chicken sandwich and onion rings I have ever had. The chicken itself is thick and crispy to perfection and the bun, OMG, I don't even know what to say except it is heaven. There isn't much seating in the restaurant but you can certainly order for take out. Service is quickly and fast as well. If you have not been to this place, GO! I will be a customer for a very long time. read more

Meh--moody teenagers work here that don't greet you, help with your order, or thank you for stopping in. Sweet/spicy Chicken sandwich was ok--not mind blowing. Dumplings were very good, and the French fries arrived in a cute mini shopping cart. It's the service that is receiving the 3 stars. read more

Cute atmosphere. Very Eastery vibes. friendly staff, gotta appreciate an onion ring that stays crunchy even after they've cooled down. That said, the sandwiches felt a little haphazardly dressed. Rather than tossed in the sauce of choice it was merely a drizzle of soy garlic. The chicken itself was stringy and pretty dry. My partner's fries came out cold. Dunno if I'd go back read more

Wings, sandwiches, and appetizers are all great in my book. The bee bim bop is just OK. Definitely worth a try. I'll be back.

Just came here for the first time. So delicious! Scallion pancakes were amazing and the sauce was perfect. The crispy chicken was great with the soy garlic sauce. Will definitely be back. Also the owner was so sweet. read more

Wings and tenders are fantastic, and the pork buns were packed with flavor! Definitely coming back

So you can't get take out P it's through grub hub which charge's you double. They are very rude! And to be honest Popeyes chicken sandwich is faster and way better without the oh you have to wait. NEVER AGAIN! read more
