Flavor was not bad, I wanted to try this place since the reviews were pretty high. I'm usually going out of my way to get to a Bonchon when I want Korean Fried Chicken. Unfortunately this was not great. Wings were extremely too big and the sauce was a bit too much. Like my chicken wings to be cooked a little longer, as these didn't taste done. read more

KoChix - Soy garlic wings and onion rings - Korean Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

If you're looking for a joint with the thin crispy fried batter layered over the chicken, this isn't for you. This is the OG style of Korean fried chicken from the early/mid 90's. The thicker fried batter wraps around the chicken and dripped with sticky and sweet sauce. Do NOT expect the same kind of Korean fried chicken that you think you know if you've only had BonChon or KyoChon! Because that's a more "new-age" version of KFC. If you remember and long for the nostalgia of old school KFC, look no further than KoChix. Personally, it brings me back to the early 90's when I would get KFC take out from the mom and pop shops of Seoul with my grandma and enjoy the savory treat with Korean cider together... Sweet memories. Tip: If you do take away and find it a bit soggy when you get home, pop into the air fryer for a minute and you'll find it pleasantly crispy and delicious! read more

Yumm yumm yumm!! Delicious chicken with light sauces that tickle the pallet!! You will love it!!

For many in the DMV area BonChon is the go to place to get some Korean fried chicken (KFC). Oh but wait. There are a few other players on the scene and KoChix is one of them. Once again another place I had bookmarked for a long time but never got around to going to. Located on the corner of 4th Avenue and Florida Avenue it is in an area seeing a resurgence that is bordered by Howard and Shaw Universities. A very short walk to Shaw-Howard University Station. If take out is your thing this place is for you. There are no tables and just a few stools to sit on while you wait. The wait is not long and on this visit the employee (Karen) allowed me to get a sampling of all three wing flavors in an order. The choices of wing flavors are soy garlic, hot honey, and hot honey spicy. For me personally I did not find any of the flavors very hot as far as spice. No little wings here as it seems you get more flats than drumsticks. No complaint as it was all good. The best way to eat this food as with any is as soon as possible. It is great still even when you warm it back up but you lose a bit of the crispiness when you wait to have it later. My personal favorite was the soy garlic. The tangy taste of the soy mixed with the garlic was a good combination for my taste buds. KoChix has a variety of food. If you are looking for more traditional Korean fare they have bulgogi and bibimbap on the menu. In fact, if you can think of it is on the menu. Parking is available on the street for free and on a busy Saturday afternoon I was able to find a spot very quickly next to the store. read more

I tried this place while visiting DC and now that I'm back home I have to deal with bonchon. Both have great fried chicken that is just so crunchy but to be honest I preferred KoChix!! I rather support small businesses over a chain and the chicken from KoChix just tasted like it was cooked with love! Definitely will double back next time I'm in town read more

Needing a korean chicken fix and not wanting to go too far. Good wings and good flavor. The spicey isn't overpowering and the chicken size is good. Not as crispy as Bon Chon but good nonetheless read more

Now, I am by no means an expert in Korean Fried Chicken (in fact, this was my first time giving it a whirl!), but this place is amazing. I have passed by KoChix many times and always told myself I would try it one day. After a particularly long day, I found myself craving something of the fried variety, and KoChix came right to mind. Despite a small physical space, this place has a ton of personality. All of the employees were very kind and helpful. I went for the 5 wings with hot honey spicy sauce, small fries, and an order of mozzarella sticks (I told you I was looking for fried food!). The chicken was delicious and the perfect amount of crunchy, and the sauce was just spicy enough to give you a good bite. The fries definitely beat the mozzarella sticks but, then again, who doesn't love fried cheese. I will absolutely be back to KoChix to try out more of their menu. I would also consider their family tray (40 wings) for parties, etc. read more

Guys, this place is such a hidden gem. It's run by this adorable older Asian married couple. They're so nice and the chicken is soooo yummy. It's legit Korean fried chicken... think bonchon but less standardized, less expensive, and more "hole-in-the-wall". I just got the chicken but both the drumsticks and wings were so juicy. I personally thought the soy garlic was a little too sweet. Even the spicy honey is plenty sweet and not very spicy. There is barely anywhere to sit so don't think of this place as a dinner restaurant. It's definitely a take out situation. Its kinda far from everything else too but it's soo worth ordering for delivery. read more

I was in DC last week and this place was down the street from our Airbnb so we decided to give it a try. It got really good Yelp reviews so I was super excited. I may have hyped myself up way too much. It's definitely a hole in the wall type of establishment, but I didn't mind that. What I didn't care for was the lack of seats to dine in and no AC. It was so hot in here! This is definitely a "to go order" type of place. We ordered the soy garlic wings, the honey spicy wings, & fries. It was OK. Nothing really special that I'd rave about. The chicken was crispy/juicy, but a little too sweet for me. Fries were solid. I've had better Korean Fried Chicken here in DFW though. read more

Yes! Great wings, quick service. My favorite flavor is the honey soy but you can't go wrong w any flavor. If you haven't tried it yet, check it out and tell a friend! read more

Best wings!!!! And the most polite and amazing service!!! Nice little corner spot 1000% recommend if you're in the area.

I would say this is a "hole in wall" type of place. food wise, Wings were delicious and extra crispy. I got a mix of 1/2 soy garlic and 1/2 honey spicy. If you ever had Bon Chon chicken, these wings would be comparable. The difference is the pricing since its on the cheaper side and wings were sticky and saucy, just the way I like it. note: very limited parking and seating read more

Ever since Choongman in Columbia Heights closed down, we have been ordering more often from Kochix. For korean fried chicken, they are very good- our go to is the soy garlic and honey-spicy flavored combos. The chicken has good sauce to breading to chicken ratio, too. So why is this review 4 stars and not 5? All the KFC restaurants I have gone to (which was a lot because my mom is korean and my Dad loves chicken lol) always give you the white korean radish with the order because it cuts the spice. I don't know why they list it separately, but I forgot to order this last time and just wrote a note for extra in my chicken order and was a bit disappointed. Ended up cutting pickles at home so wasn't the end of the world, but it should just be built into the price. Just my own opinion, but the chicken is definitely good and this is still a worthwhile place to order from. read more

I'm surprised I haven't given this place a review yet. Hands down the best chicken in DC. And make sure you only get chicken from here! One time I tried to taste they little fish sandwich and it was horrible, but I won't take off stars for that. Don't get a fish sandwich from a spot called kochix. read more

I lovee hole in the wall places. I placed my order through the yelp app and came straight from work. I ordered the 3 wings 2 drums, soy garlic. Delicous. Just the right sweetness and nice crunch. I parked in the gas station and ran in. So it isn't very parking accessible. But, a nice cheaper alternative to BonChon within DC. read more

KoChix - Soy Garlic wings to goooo. - Korean Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

A wonderful surprise on the way home. The diversity of the menu here was quite impressive. I have considered going here for years, after a taste of one of my coworker's wings. I have considered this restaurant my very own Northeast Bon Chon. The prices are reasonable as far as dining goes, and for a carry-out its a little on the pricier side. I will definitely return! It was even interesting sitting and waiting, the customer pool was fun to engage with. read more

I am speechless!! Mainly bc I have food in my mouth as I type this... but also bc these are probably the best chicken wings I've ever had. Sorry Uncle Lonnie LOL This place is definitely a must try AND repeat. Only reason I would rate them less than 5 stars is for not suggesting we order more hahaha!! read more

This is the second time I've been here and the wings are awesome. I haven't had the hottest wings year but the other two are really good. They are so crispy and tender!! read more

KoChix - 10/10 Crispy wings!!!!! - Korean Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

Wings- AMAZING! So crisp and flavorfulI could eat these all day! I would order again just for these! Fries- eh, kinda soggy (but we got these delivered so maybe it is better in person). Bulgogi bap- eh, not bad. It is just okay. Stick to the wings for sure read more

This little hole-in-the-wall mom/pop shop has some of the best carry out wings I've ever had. They are so crispy, but they're not overcooked at all; they have an amazing, crispy texture. They also have the perfect amount of sauce on them; they're not drenched but they're not dry either. The Spicy Honey Wings were mild (they have a hot version too). This is one of the rare times where I didn't need any dipping sauce for my wings because they already have so much flavor. FYI... if you do want ranch or blue cheese, it's an extra $0.50. In addition to chicken wings, I ordered some mozzarella sticks. Their mozzarella sticks are round and crispy like I like them. They're not flat and chewy like a lot of places nowadays (e.g. TGI Fridays). They come with marinara sauce (no extra charge). The restaurant is small, but that's to be expected with a DC carry out. I'm actually impressed that they're able to fit three stools inside. Parking is a challenge, so be patient and give yourself extra time if you drive there. Lastly, their menu says you can't order a cheesesteak sub or cheeseburger after 5pm. That seems way too early considering they don't close til 9pm at the earliest (10pm on Fridays and Saturdays). Overall, this is a great place if you're craving some good wings. I highly recommend! read more

Came here because I was craving Korean fried chicken after returning from Korea a couple of days ago. Of course, I didn't expect the fresh market chicken I got there... but I did expect the chicken to be crunchy at least. That is the whole MAGIC of Korean fried chicken. They can literally heat it up in the microwave and it's still crunchy. I ordered boneless chicken breasts, so I could have a nice experience... if I would have known the chicken would be soggy, I would have just ordered regular wings. This is, in no way, Korean fried chicken. Sure, one of the sauces uses honey and one of them is soy/garlic, but there is nothing Korean and the batter or the sauces. The honey spicy sauce is literally red and tastes like it has hot sauce in it. Also... The only thing Korean about the "dumplings" was the fact that there were glass noodles in the meat. The dumplings were covered in a sauce (NOT advertised by the way) and became soggy where the sauce touched; the sauce tasted like a sauce they would put on chicken. Overall, disappointed. I didn't expect the flavors to hit, but for the batter not to be crunchy, the chicken to be dry, and the dumpling to be deep FRIED (not pan-fried) with an unadvertised sauce... this is below the bar. Is it a decent chicken spot? Maybe... but I went here because they claim to be Korean. read more

This looks like a hole in the wall, but it is the best Korean fried chicken around. I find myself going there often for just a quick pickup of Honey Hot Wings. read more

I've eaten Korean fried chicken throughout DC, MD, VA, and NYC. These are hands down the best wings I've ever had. The execution is flawless, the flavor is decadent, the portions are generous. Highly recommend the soy garlic wings - do not get the drums as they have less flavor per bite. Seriously, try it, you won't regret it. I've eaten here over 20 times (I live near by) and they're consistently delicious. The actual business: this is a hole in the wall, small business established about 5 years ago. I have had very friendly experiences with every one of the workers there - a happy bunch. You can really only order to take out but that really probably serves to their focus on making great wings and keeping prices low. I told the owner I'm moving away from the neighborhood and loved the place and she gave me a few extra wings. That's the beauty of a small business that has a lot of heart. Got to support this wonderful establishment. read more

I'm wavering somewhere between a 4 and a 5 stars on this place, mainly because the bulgogi wasn't nearly as good as the wings themselves, but I've got to give them some love because the service is just so great here (a far cry from several of the regions other Korean fried chicken joints). In terms of size, I went with almost all drums, and I thought they were actually bigger than BonChon's, and had a better crispy cracklin skin on them. They're also fried to order, so you don't get any soggy parts. Price wise I think it's actually slightly cheaper than BonChon, although you don't get the complimentary sides (which I honestly don't need or want anyway). The hot honey garlic flavor here is fantastic, with a good slow burn that finally catches up to you just as you're finishing your 3rd or 4th wing (or 1st if you have a low tolerance). The soy garlic is great too, but I was definitely tasting that one the entire rest of the day, ack. The bulgogi was cooked well, but was mostly a massive bowl of rice (the container is about twice the size of a typical take-out container, and it's completely full of food), and could have used a bit more seasoning. As it was it tasted a bit too sweet for me, and there's no Sriracha out on the 2 person counter for customers to spice it up some. I'm guessing 90%+ of their business is done via take-out. Suzy had so much rice left over the little lady who owns the place was worried she didn't like it. She did, but it was definitely an Asian mother portion. The star here is most definitely the chicken, but the other things will satisfy for a craving, if nothing else. My only real complaint is that they're not open late (I think 10PM on Friday / Saturday is their latest hours), which is generally when I want this stuff after a night of drinking at nearby Shaw bars. Maybe as the Rhode Island stretch between Shaw and Bloomingdale develops further it will increase the hours accordingly, but for now I think it might suffice better as a Sunday morning hangover cure. read more

BEST WINGS EVER I should stop the review here, but I get off on yelp "cools" and "funny" more that skanks do off their instagram bikini pics, so I'll carry on. These Korean wings are similar to Bon chon except they use heroine as the wings are so damn addictive. The wings are battered and extremely crispy and come in three flavors. I always ask for a custome order of EXTRA EXTRA hot and trust me they oblige. The spice is unique in the sense that its not a chili heat but more like a pepper or cayenne heat that enhances the sauce instead of overpowering it. I love KoChix's delievery service caviar. Caviar delivers all over the city and the tip is included. Don't want to pay delivery charges? No problem, I haven't had to pay a delivery charge yet. You can always google an online coupon code that will either take away the delivery charge our give you money back. But if you aren't feeling lazy I would suggest you take the drive to the restaurant and eat it fresh. There is a huge taste difference. Be fore warned, KoChix is kind of a shack with only two bar stools for seating and in a sketch neighborhood. The chicken is worth being mugged, yes it's that good! read more

KoChix - Asked for EXTRA EXTRA spicy and nearly had my head blown off. Very much worth the pain - Korean Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

I came here to do a quick carry-out - placing an order over the phone is quite easy. Their menu seemed to have expanded since the last time I was here (besides the Korean fried chicken, they added bulgogi bop, bibimbop, Philly cheesesteak, subs, mandoos, fried clams, etc.). I ordered a Medium order of wings, which came with 10 pieces - they were able to do 1/2 Soy Garlic and 1/2 Honey Spicy (yay!) - I like the fact that they were able to accommodate as most chicken places make you do a minimum order (usually a large) to do a combo of flavors. The Soy Garlic is definitely my favorite, as the sauce is actually really delicious and tasty - the Honey Garlic was okay, but the next time, I would just stick with Soy Garlic! This is the only Korean chicken place in DC; however, they are pretty delicious! :D Staff is always friendly and sweet; parking can be found around the corner, but it's nice to have someone go with you so you can just run in and grab your order. +call ahead to order for pick-up +Soy Garlic wings :D +friendly staff :D read more

Let me tell you about my experience with this place. I walked by it every afternoon on my way home from work, and I had been meaning to try it all summer. I kept putting it off because I don't like eating out on weekdays. However, today around 4 pm at work, I decided I would go. I walk in, and it's a tiny place with the menu on one wall, a small nook on the other, and the cashier in front of you. The place smells amazing, and the owner is very friendly. I ordered 5 wings of soy garlic, thinking I'd have to supplement this dinner with something else, but it turns out the wonderful Korean man put in one extra wing. Then I take a torturous walk home holding my newly acquired Korean fried chicken; torturous because I'm ravenously hungry and can't wait to put this chicken into my body. Then I get home and open the white box and the smell of friend garlic chicken immediately fills the air. And I take a wing, put it in my mouth, and everything else disappears. It's like there's only me and this piece of chicken in this entire world. It is so juicy, so warm, so flavorful. I'm usually the type of person who has 6 things on her mind at any given time and while I was eating this chicken, the only thing I could think about was how delicious it was. It was truly an unforgettable experience. *And in that moment, I swear [me and chicken] were infinite* Needless to say, I'll be back. IS IT CHEAP? I don't even - who cares - it's so good, just go, don't think, just go read more

KoChix - Soy garlic. Top 3 food experience of my life - Korean Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

Washington DC: What is wrong with you? Maybe I am spoiled because I live on a side of the country where there is actually good Korean chicken wing action going on, but sweet Jesus your taste in chicken wings sucks. KoChix serves up what you would expect from the visual appeal of the facility (it's in the ghetto...I was asked for money twice standing outside of the joint): mediocre wings that are slathered in so much sauce that you can barely taste the chicken. And if that's what you think a Korean chicken wing tastes like, then this is the right place to go. We ordered both the soy garlic and honey spicy wings, and both tasted horrendous. The chicken wing itself was barely edible, and the dripping oozing sauce caking the wing was disgusting. This is NOT one of those off-the-grid-wow-I-can't-believe-I-found-this places. If you consider Bonchon to be a solid 7.5 to 8 out of 10, then KoChix is barely a 2. I have no clue how the hell this place is so highly rated on Yelp. You really let me down on this one. read more

KoChix - Valid as of July 29, 2015. - Korean Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

As usual hopped om Yelp to check out what's in the area and scrolled across this beauty with 4.5 stars....you know what that means....I had to check it out. And so glad I did! So the food looked and smelled so good I didn't get a chance to pause to take a picture. Ordered the 15 piece half and half, a bit pricey compared to what I'm used to. But man oh man so worth it! They were piping hot and had the best crunch on them. The size... again well worth the price. No skimpy chickens here! If I had to pick a favorite, I'd go with the spicy honey. Nom...nom...nom.. If you pass by you better stop and get cha some! read more

Better than BonChon in terms of flavor and quality but less upscale for sure. I took the metro and walked over from Shaw, trying to time my arrival with the restaurant's opening. When I walked in around 11:10 am yesterday, there were already 3-4 people waiting for their orders, and the place just opened 10 minutes before! I got my order of 7 wings and 4 drumsticks and bulgogi in 10 minutes, which seems to be the normal wait time when you order earlier in the day. I'm not sure if that's the case later on. I agree with other reviewers who say the drumsticks appear to be larger than the competitor's. In fact, I would go so far to say that the wings even appear to be larger. Since they're prepared to order, there is nothing soft about the double fried skin. If you have time and there is space and you don't mind the smell of the oil, I'd recommend eating here so you can enjoy the chicken right away. I ate a few pieces since the two seat counter had cleared and ate some more at home. Those first few bites were so amazing, I felt an immediate addiction and had to stop myself. I ordered the soy garlic and honey spicy and think both were kind of on the sweet side but nonetheless enjoyable. More impressive is that the chicken was flavored so well and didn't burn my taste buds. It was nice that after cleaning up after myself, the male owner called me to the counter and presented me an open box of wet naps to clean my hands. He asked if I needed more than one and I told him I did not and thanked him. I thought that was a nice touch because while it's great to eat there, there's no visible restroom to wash my hands, and it was lip smacking, finger licking good. The other nice touch was checking to see whether I wanted chopsticks for my rice and bagging up my order carefully after the chicken flavors were labeled on the outside of the box. Other random things: they have a fridge with drinks and slices of cake, and on the counter with the register, there is a display case with candy. They also make burgers and subs and fried stuff like fries and clams. Highly recommend this place! read more

Food is 4 stars. I've had better Korean Fried Chicken, but this is really solid. Location is 2 stars. I'd normally split the difference and give it 3 stars, but the messes up people's money. Because 99% of yelpers just look at the star ratings. KFC - double fried, shell, and usually in a sweet flavor and one SUPER HOT flavor. Sometimes a mix of the two. On the geographic heat index Europe as a whole (The spice routes were for cinnamon thank you very much!) Midwest USA (whoa ease up on that coarse ground black pepper tough guy) North East USA (Who ordered the horseradish?) West Coast/Southern USA (I prefer Texas Pete's to Tabasco) Americanized Jamaican Food (Jerk, get it, you are what you eat...do you have any Ranch dressing) South West USA (We give our children serranos for Halloween) Americanized Thai Food (bro these glass noodles, feel the burn) Proper Jamaican (Are you trying to kill me?) Actual Thai Food (What did I do to you to deserve this?) Korean/Sichuan (I can't feel my face) Real Deal Indian (I see Nirvana) I'd put KoChix "hot" in the North East to West Coast range. You taste the pepper...a bit like finding a dime on the sidewalk. A little bit of pep in your step as you wonder how to spend your windfall. So by that measure Ko-Chix is cool. But the problem comes with eating it. Fried chicken, like most foods, is ideally eaten as soon as it's finished cooking. Once it drops down to the point where the oil weren't burn you, it's in it's perfect state, and you have a window of opportunity to get it at is best state. (Although arguably really good fried chicken can stay in your fridge overnight and make a great breakfast) The problem is that Korean Fried Chicken is closer to Buffalo Wings than Kentucky Fried chicken. The glaze/sauce is one of the things that makes it awesome...but the liquid penetrates the outershell of the bird and little by little degrades the overall poultry structural integrity. The very thing that you seek disappears in the sands of time. So you have to eat KFC promptly. In my estimation, this would survive a 5 minute ride in the car, but not much longer than that. The place is so small that if you decided to eat it there, you'd have to deal with 1 of 3 stools and a countertop. That's not an ideal fried chicken situation. You need to sit down, eat it, and then be able to wash your hands, (midmeal in some cases) to really enjoy the thing. And that's the problem. Good chicken that can't really be consumed properly. There's no table. And as of this writing, I don't think the facilities were set up to easily wash your hands. (the guy behind the counter did give me some wet-naps...but I needed WATER to clean up) As much as I liked it, as willing as I am to deal with the hassle of getting there, if I can't consume properly, I can't go back. Alas.... read more

KoChix - Half soy half hot - Korean Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

Big Bonchon fan here but I kept hearing that KoChix is even better. KoChix was indeed good, especially loved the huge size of the wings, but the sauce at Bonchon is a little better imo (the spicy at KoChix isn't that spicy). It's a little pricier than expected ($13 for 5 pieces/fries/soda - wish they'd offer a combo deal for like $10 or something). Only real complaint is that the location is on a pretty sketchy street, especially at night. There's a lot of people loitering around the store, who are actually pretty aggressive at pursuing people when they leave the restaurant for money and food. One guy even came into the store when I was waiting for my food and started yelling at the cashier for food and took off his shirt to show his bullet wounds. read more

KoChix - Soy and spicy wings - Korean Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

I really like the soy garlic and honey spicy. The prices are about a little over one dollar per wings, you buy them in sets of 5, 10, 15 etc. two flavored per set. Only tried the wings today--not the drums. They taste very very good. Way better than expected! read more

This was our only positive food experience while in DC. The funny part is we didn't even get to go into the restaurant. It was late and since we don't have a car, it's either cabbing it to a restaurant or walking. We were tired and did not want to get dressed after a long day of sightseeing. So we saw that these guys delivered. They use a service call caviar that delivers their food for upcharge and built in tip. I was able to order and pay online. I got a few email and text confirmations and my food was at my hotel in less than 45 minutes. We ordered the wing and drumsticks combo. With the flavors being soy garlic and spicy honey. Both flavors were amazing! The spicy honey was not at all spicy to me, but had a slight kick. They do the korean fried chicken right, with the extra crispy skin and the thick sauce that just makes every bite so amazing. I should have learned by now, stick to the wings vs the drumsticks. It's all personal preference, but I love the skin and sauce the most, so with the wings the ratio of meat to skin and sauce is about the same. With the drumsticks you get more meat. For me I like the skin more so I should not get the drumsticks. That was the same problem I had recently in Houston at our korean fried chicken joint. We also added in an order of the Bulgogi Bap and French Fries. They were just OK, but not necessary. Just stick to the wings and you'll happy! read more

Ok, where do I even begin to describe my love for KoChix? Do you know that chocolate guy from Spongebob? My love for KoChix is similar to his love for chocolate, and that's the closest I can get to describe my love for their fried chicken. While my fiance and I were in Indiana, we constantly talked about the perfection that is KoChix's wings and dreamt of when we could eat those crunchy and moist wings again. Now that we've officially moved to DC, we can enjoy KoChix to our heart's content. We normally order a large order with half spicy and half honey spicy plus a large size of their fries. Their wings are perfectly fried, have such a light and crunchy batter, and somehow the meat is still perfectly cooked inside. The wings aren't too heavily coated with sauce and are the perfect spicy level. We purposely order a large even though we can't finish it just so we have leftovers for the next day. Their fries are also great as they have little crunchy bits all over them. I love, love, love KoChix and the guy working the front counter has always been super nice to me. I recommend you call ahead and place a carry-out order as there isn't seating inside the restaurant. KoChix is and will forever remain a staple in our household! read more

I was minding my business on my way to get my wife when I saw this little place while filling up the car. And I thought "Korean style chicken hey man it will work." It's carryout out style: fried chicken Korean s kick... No pun intended... It's so worth the trip the prices are right the combination between wing and drummet that make sense. Also the owners have a really positive attitude and the a staff. stop and get something to eat and Treat yourself to some soy garlic. Or honey flavor I really enjoy the chicken think you will too. read more

I read the reviews for Kochix and saw that a lot of people loved it, but I still didn't want to keep my expectations too high. However, I am happy to report that I had nothing to worry about, because these wings were amazing. I've tried all 3 of the sauces, and although I'm partial to the soy garlic, you can't go wrong with any choice. The hot honey spicy definitely has a kick but won't burn your mouth. The wings are bigger than your average wings, are fried and sauced to perfection, and the meat is juicy. Not a lot of space inside, which makes this much more of a delivery or take out spot. If you want great wings, go to Kochix read more

KoChix - 5 wings, 3 soy garlic and 2 hot honey spicy. SO good - Korean Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

Just had this for the first time and I will be back. Ordered myself a buffet for full day eating Wings - ordered the mix wings and drums. Perfectly fried like Korean wings are supposed to be and much larger than typical chicken wings Luke they should. Went with the spicy honey and honey. Not that spicy, may have got both just honey by accident. 5 wings were plenty to fill you up. Anyone complaining about the price either doesn't realize the size is double traditional or they haven't paid attention to the wing shortage on top of inflation and overall supply these days. Great price for this style Mozzarella sticks - a little on the smaller side but you get 6 where most places are less. Fried perfectly and a great cheese in the middle. Mine could have been a little hotter but I'll chalk it up to being takeout Bulgogi - great portion and great flavor. Will order again as my only portion sometime. read more

BEST CHICKEN WINGS that I've had to date in DC. It's in a weird area, but the trek is worth it. Go for the amazing chicken and fries, but don't stay for the lackluster ambiance. This isn't a destination dining experience, definitely a carryout spot. There are a few counter stools to sit on if you want to eat the wings fresh on the spot, but the place is very small and mostly customers just wait for their orders to be filled on the stools. THE FOOD The wings are always served fresh to order and the hot honey spicy sauce is where it is at. You can also get half and half, but if you only go for one flavor, don't skip the hot honey spicy! If you haven't had enough fried food, add an order of fries. You won't regret it! They are the perfect amount of crispy and always served burn-your-mouth hot. I can't speak for the rest of the food, mostly because I can't get off the wing/fry train because it's SO DAMN GOOD. Kochix is what carryout wing dreams are made of! read more

Like others said, chicken is almost as good as Bon-chon chicken but slightly small in size. There is no radish or Korean coleslaw but you don't have to go outside of DC to get decent Korean chicken. Try fish and chips as well. Fries are very crispy outside and soft inside. Excellent is the word for the fries. Then the huge pieces of fish .. All for only $5.95. Highly suggest you try KoChix :) read more
