I don't know what happened but I recently stopped by as I hadn't in awhile and the chicken just didn't taste the same. It lacked flavor. I called it in ahead of time and it was ready when I arrived. I did my usual, half and half. I was definitely disappointed. Oh well! read more

I had no idea wings could be so good. And the corn nuggets are from heaven. Also the Korean potstickers are seriously the best I've ever had. Flavorful with a sauce that should be on anything. read more

Such an amazing hole in the wall korean fried chicken restaurant!!! It is a total must try for korean fried chicken lovers. I tried the soy garlic, hot spicy honey, and honey lemon pepper. My favorite was the hot spicy honey flavor, but all three were delicious. I will definitely be back. Fyi, there is no seating. It is an order and go place, so you will need to find somewhere to eat your delicious chicken read more

So the service could be better but to be honest they were swamped. I saw this little spot on tik tok and when I tell you the line was out the door! Now Tik tok definitely did not disappoint because the chicken was super good. I'd definitely recommend the lemon pepper with a side of rice. The fries and not good at all. And sauce like blue cheese and ranch cost xtra so bring cash. read more

KoChix - Korean Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

I've definitely walked by this place before without giving it much thought. The other day a friend told me that this was one of the best Korean Fried Chicken places that was even better than the well known chain, BonChon. I absolutely love BonChon, so I had to give it a shot. Like I said before, it's easy to walk past...It's a hole in the wall spot for sure and it's take out only. Upon walking in, you see the menu, as well as award winning reviews in papers. Prices are slightly less than BonChon, but let me tell you it really is one of the best Korean Fried Chicken places I've ever had. Though my home is 20 minutes away in VA, it was still hot and crispy upon eating. There is so much depth in flavor in one bite and you just want to keep coming back for more. Be prepared for sticky fingers and sticky cheeks, but it's so worth to just dive right into it. I got the combo 12 wings 6 drums, half soy garlic, half honey spicy (Koreans don't joke around with spice...). No extra side sauce needed, the entire chicken is coated well with sauce. I will say next time I eat it, a side of white rice would be the perfect pair as well as a cold beer. I am absolutely excited to go back - I will challenge myself with the Hot Spicy sauce, as long as if there is ice cream waiting in my freezer for me! read more

Ordered via UberEats and received pretty quick! Although it states that the meal includes drumsticks, I for some reason thought it was a drumette, but no, it is an actual drumstick lol. read more

Great chicken with amazing flavors. The honey lemon is some of the best I've had in a while. The menu is a bit pricey but not enough to keep me away. read more

Hands down the best Korean fried chicken I've had in the area. Crispy double fried juicy chicken and the sauces are delicious.

Mind blowing. Can't wait for my next experience. The hot honey sauce made my taste buds dance with ecstasy

Oh my god this was some of the best CHEAP chicken I've had in a longgg time. Prices are great for DC & the hot honey flavor was amazing. Will definitely be back here!!! read more

I come from North Carolina and honestly those the best chicken wings i've had, definitely recommend!

Great wings! I absolutely love their honey lemon pepper wings. As someone from Georgia, you know we put lemon pepper on everything! I highly recommend trying their lemon pepper wings--they're a must-have! read more

The wings were perfectly cooked and flavorful! I will definitely go back to get the wings in all flavors!! read more

Heard about this place for years. Tried to stop by once and couldn't find parking. Never tried again. I went to Bon Chon for years. Upgraded to Chi Mc because I heard it was better. Then recently I discovered Choong Man Chicken which now became my favorite Korean Fried Chicken spot (their tikkudak style is on point). I've been raving about CMC when eventually I ran across people saying Kochix is the best. Now it was CMC vs Kochix, I became adamant on seeing how good Kochix actually was. My girlfriend and I head there and of course, there's no parking. I wasn't going to have that stop me again so I emergency park on the side (try at your own risk) and I got my hands on their soy garlic KFC. Kochix sauce was thicker and stickier than your average KFC, but that added to the flavor which I fell in love with. Each wing was incredibly crispy and perfect. I was extremely impressed. So who is the best now? Well CMC has more of a variety which I like, but Kochix has now become one of my favorites so it's a tie. I definitely need to try Kochix a couple more times to see who's really the best! read more

KoChix - Soy Garlic was BOMB!!!! - Korean Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

Wow, I've been going to KOCHIX for YEARS, so I'm upset that I've never written a review on this place. Get the wings, THE WINGS ARE THE BEST IN THE CITY. The crisp and the flavor can't be done anywhere else. I always get the soy garlic wings, they are my favorite. I recently got the honey spicy wings to switch it up a little bit and loved it! They aren't expensive, and they have a lot of chicken on the wings, which I appreciate. The drumsticks from here are also really good! It's a small shop, so I always order pick up or via delivery apps. There really isn't a seating area read more

Today was one of those days....undecided about what and where to eat. I'm a little upset that I didn't stop by this establishment sooner. It's a real hole in the wall in appearance but these wings are torch!! I was highly impressed. I ordered (5) of the honey Buffalo and (5) of the soy garlic wings. I also had two blue cheese dressings but they were absolutely unnecessary. These wings need absolutely nothing but wet wipes to clean your hands and face. I gave this place (4) stars because I like for my chicken to be "well done" and they failed to cook the wings to my specifications. I was also glad that parking was not too bad on that side street. This makes me more likely to come back again (yes, DC parking at some of these spots is the worst). (8) of the ten wings did me just fine. $16 for (10) wings is not as bad as some other places that I've visited in the area. Ledo's charges $20 for (10) wings. Mandu and BKK should be ashamed of themselves for selling (8) wings for about $24-25. This place is definitely another option and better priced. I do have a spot in Georgetown DC that has the most vast selection of wings, Wingo's. You can get a (10) piece for about $13-14 bucks. Kochix isn't the prettiest, nor did it look the cleanest but I'll say my grace and be back again soon. read more

Hits 10/10 EVERYTIME! My personal number one spot for wings and I love getting white rice on the side

Really great fried chicken and an absolute hole in the wall -- exactly what I hoped for! Had 5 drumsticks, each of which was perfectly cooked. Skin was incredibly crispy and stayed so even as it cooled. Will definitely come back to try other stuff here, since these guys know how to run a frier. Ordered ahead of time from their website and was almost ready when I got there. Very nice staff (possibly one of the owners given the photos on the wall but hard to identify a face in these days of masks). read more

KoChix - Five drumsticks. Delicious! - Korean Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

I got the boneless wings, which were excellent. It was rather busy when I went, so it wasn't an option to wait inside for food - maybe a better pickup/order system would help out. I'll certainly be back! read more

Best korean fried chicken i've ever had 9.9/10. I got 10 honey lemon pepper wings and 6 soy garlic drums. Worth every minute of the 5 mile walk there and back from the hotel i'm staying at. Thank you Vick read more

Well this place took me by surprise!! That chicken was soooo good!! Then the bowl with the meat rice and peppers FIRE

Tasty,meaty wings. Excellent bulgogi platter. Friendly service. Check the website. There are several more options for wing sauces than the Yelp app menu listed! read more

If you can, get it for takeout. Delivery may mess with timing/food quality and for these wings you're going to want them fresh! Large, meaty, and flavorful wings/drums for a fair price given how tasty they are. I've only had the chicken that everyone raves about and stand by that these are the best wings you can get in DC. We got the hot honey and lemon pepper and couldn't pick a favorite. The crunch was audible, and the experience overall was memorable. Will definitely be returning! Don't expect to eat inside, there is standing room for about 8 people. They are working incredibly hard here and the work shows; this is some of the best food the DMV has to offer tucked away in Shaw! read more

Visited DC for a few days and being a sucker for Korean Fried Chicken, I know I needed to try chicken from KoChix. I live right near by the store so I called and ordered take out, the prep time was super quick, only 10 minutes. The place is really small and doesn't have seating. But that doesn't really matter to me~ I ordered the smallest combo with spicy honey sauce + korean fried dumpling and they were AMAZING. The dumplings are filled with goodness (minced pork, onions, glass noodles i think and some veg), they are super flavorful. The chicken is drenched in yummy spicy sauce and reminded me of real authentic Korean chicken. It's hard to find them in Minnesota. It's finger licking good and made me happy. 10/10 read more

KoChix - Korean Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

I have to start this with notice: i was born and raised in buffalo,ny and i have super super super high standards for wings obviously these are korean style wings and not buffalo wings but *believe* the hype, they are delicious! its worth it to call ahead and pick up, the place has no ambience and these wings (or wings in general to be honest) don't travel well, so find a place you can eat them pretty soon so you can enjoy the crispy juicy yumminess of a korean chicken wing :) I also got the beef bulgogi, because, you know, its deliciousness, and it did not disappoint- it was maybe a smidge sweeter than what i like, but it was tasty. read more

No dining area, but excellent Korean Fried Chicken! Neighborhood is a bit sketchy, but since you do t stay long, that's not a problem.

One of my favorite places to go to since moving to DC and love supporting small businesses!! My friends live nearby so we would stop by here at least once a week to get our korean friend chicken fix. We would usually order the 7W 4D combo in soy garlic to feed about 4 of us! With it would be a side of rice and occasionally we would get the dumplings. The dumplings have a slight sweet glaze to it that makes it enjoyable. The wings got that crunch on the outside and juciness on the inside that is a MUST for fried chicken. I've been here multiple times already and definitely plan to continue visiting. read more

Underrated Korean fried chicken! Hits every time. Order some giant drumsticks and drink a beer while you watch a K drama and you have the perfect evening. read more

Definitely the best chicken in the DMV!!! Employees are so nice, and gave us a new box of wings after we dropped them. Highly recommend

Owner at the register was 2 welcoming. Parking was difficult. It was a hole in the wall and sometimes they have the best food. The wings were just okay, nothing to write home about. I was glad we were hungry and hadn't eaten all day so it didn't go to waste. read more

These are some of the best wings in the city. Seriously some of the best Korean fried chicken I've ever had. The chicken was tender with just the right amount crisp and sauce. I ordered delivery via DoorDash the 3 wings 2 drumsticks combo with the hot honey spicy sauce. UberEats gives you an option to add two sauces and they're prices are a little less but I have a DashPass. The food arrived hot. I also ordered French fries and those were pretty good. They have pretty nice size menu and options are great if you're ordering for yourself or a group. They have more sauce options than some of their competitors which I like. I'm looking forward to visiting this place more often and trying out the different sauces and the dumplings everyone raves about. read more

KoChix - 3 Wings and 2 Drumsticks Combo Hot Honey Spicy - Korean Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

We ate here the other weekend with super high expectations for the Korean Fried Chicken. This place gets great stars and the reviews are pretty good so we thought we couldn't go wrong. Sadly we were left kind of disappointed. I love the flavor options for the wings, so that is a plus. But they came extremely soggy and not crispy fried like we are used to getting. Half the chicken pieces were fried and some seemed like they needed to be fried a little longer. The sauces were good but nothing completely outstanding. Like I said , maybe our expectations were too high but needless to say, we won't be trying this spot for a second time. read more

One of the best wings place in town! The portion size is HUGEEE!! Great service; Recommend 100%

Hands down my favorite Korean restaurant in Bloomingdale which was recently voted as the historic neighborhood in DC. This is a small place and has no dine in space so it's something to consider when planning a visit to this restaurant. Limited menu compared to other fancy Korean restaurants which makes it special because everything in their small menu tastes absolutely delicious. I love their Bulgogi and Bibimbap. But their chicken wings are amazing. They hot, honey hot and buffalo flavors. Don't remember the rest. We always order their wings for watch parties like super bowl, oscars, and other gatherings. Everyone loves it. It's so unique because it's not only deep fried but also has an extra crunch and kick to it. I wish I could describe the actual taste but you know what , you should try it yourself to see how delicious they taste. It's very affordable. The wings are huge unlike small wings from dominos or papa johns. Definitely recommend this place. read more

Honestly, as a self proclaimed wing connesseuir these are the best Wings in DC. They are everything you want crisp and flavorful, meaty and juicy, just delicious. Now if they could only come with some Wing Stop ranch..... read more

If you live closer to the heart of DC then Bonchon is just too out of the way and you might as well support this local mom and pop shop. Especially during the covid-19 lockdown. I ordered on doordash and it was super fast. Food came in hot and fresh and made me happy. Only thing is they don't give free white rice, you have to order that separately. But if you need carbs and you don't have to have white rice, I highly recommend their seasoned fries and mozzarella sticks.

KoChix - Babies love Kochix!! - Korean Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

Guys this place doesn't look like much on the outside but let me tell you they no how to cook some chicken. They go a combination of wings or drums or you can get just drums if that's your speed (mee!) This has been on my list for the longest and boy I wasn't disappointed. This place is better than Bonchon if anyone was ever wondering or even considering it I've never had it but people who've had both tell me it's not close. The chicken was seasoned pretty well, crunchy and juicy I only wish that their Hot Honey spicy was actually well.. spicy. The wings are pretty huge so no false claims of jumbo wings only to be met by baby chicklets using bones as crutches these are big wings. My only gripe is that they don't combo their wings and fries they make you pay separately and it's an additional $3. I mean seriously what wing spot doesn't include fries in a combo. Other than that it would have been 5 star 5 star! read more

We've been on the hunt for an awesome KFC place within DC and so far it's honestly Bom in Adams Morgan. We tried KoChix one night and it was good, but not great. We ordered half spicy and half regular and the regular ones were a big let down. They didn't taste like much. Yes, I know they didn't have sauce on them, but I've had several sauce-less KFC that still tasted amazing. These were just bland for me. The spicy wings were pretty good, although they way more sweet than spicy. I was actually really impressed with the beef bulgogi bowl. It was huge, tasty and had at least 4 pounds of onions. Good thing I like onions. read more

KoChix - Fries, spicy and regular wings- beef bulgogi with rice - Korean Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

I have tried nearly every Korean Fried Chicken in D.C. and these are my absolute favorite, but it depends on what my preference is that day. KoChix's wings are certainly the largest and meatiest in D.C., but they are not the crispiest. If you want a wing that is large and has a sweet and extremely sticky sauce, come to KoChix. If you want a slightly smaller and crispier wing, go to Bonchon. Bonchon's wings are pumped out with a machine like consistency, but KoChix's have a more authentic home-made quality to them. They are huge, wonky in shape and sauce distribution, but sometimes that is exactly what I want. They are still crisp and satisfying. For me, their location is inconvenient, so I don't get to enjoy them as often as I do Bonchon. I would recommend going with the classic Soy Garlic flavor. Their Honey Spicy and Hot Honey Spicey are good but they are not nearly as delicious as Soy Garlic. Concerning other items like their Bibimbap, I would go elsewhere for such items (Zannchi, BUL, Bibimix, ANJU). KoChix is where you go for amazing wings, nothing else. Also, their prices make them hard to beat. At all other KFC options in D.C., you will find yourself paying more for less! read more

Wings are bomb. So this place is consistently on top wing lists in dc, and it hit the spot. Very crispy/juicy wings that come with a lot of flavors to try. Old bay and soy garlic were ok, but the hot honey and mild honey were bomb, a must try in dc if you like Korean style wings. Second to choong man still as choongs has a little less breading and a little more juice, but if you are near u st, a must get read more
