The service, food, and atmosphere were excellent. The woman behind the counter was multitasking like a pro and was incredibly friendly. The chicken was fresh and so hot that I had to wait a little before eating. It was very flavorful, and the fries were crunchy and delicious. By the way, I came for the boba drink, and I was pleasantly surprised by the variety of hot and cold flavor options available. Overall, it was a 10/10 experience! read more

I was originally put on to this spot by an influencer from the area that reviews chicken wings. I ordered the chicken butt wings, and they were very good. I went back recently to try the spicy yangnyeom wings and a sweet cloud green tea. When I say that is my favorite drink now!!! Omg it is so good. Someone on TikTok mentioned it should be tried and I love green tea so I said why the heck not. No regrets. read more

Bought lunch for my workplace colleagues - the chicken butt sandwiches are the best- I get the mild but whether you get original or very spicy it always hits ! My biggest beef with them is that I was making a large order so I ordered an hour in advance - when I arrived at the scheduled time they kept me waiting an additional 20 minutes for the order to be completed- this is really unacceptable considering employee lunch breaks are staggered over 1 hour - I had no time to eat and was late reporting back to work - the employee was nice about it but no offer of free food or discount for unacceptable service delivery ! Again - the food is so delicious ! - lack of reliability really make me hesitate to order from here again though - place is clean and bright and they had some tables to eat but. Think most people are just picking up read more

Came to Kokee from a TikTok food review and I was not disappointed. I live in Downtown Baltimore, but Kokee is definitely worth the drive. It's located in a shopping center in Columbia, Md. The inside is nice, there is seating available to eat in, I took my food to go. Their menu is on three screens, listing their food and Boba drinks that they have to offer. I got the 10 pc. Honey Soy Garlic wings, a side of waffle fries and a Brown Sugar Cold Brew, hold the Boba. It didn't take long to receive my order and it was nothing short of delicious. The chicken was so crispy, juicy and flavorful, I almost ate the whole thing lol. The waffle fries come seasoned and they were crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside. The Brown Sugar Cold brew was really good, not too sweet, really enjoyable. My total came to $26 and was worth every penny. Definitely putting on my list of go to places read more

I ordered the 10pc honey soy wings and a coffee milk tea with added Oreo's, and waffle fries. Ordering was seamless through post mates. The price was reasonable and the quality was fresh, hot, and portion was enough for 1-2 ppl. I would highly recommend. This is my 2nd order and will definitely support in the near future. They even threw in a free ranch. read more

I've eaten here a couple of times now. I initially went for the boba tea but decided to also try their chicken. The boba is solid! The chicken is crunchy and juicy. Unfortunately, I also take out so by the time I get home, I forget to take a photo of the wings. But, trust me when I say they are GOOD! They have a few sauce and spice options as well. I will be back, so I will do my best to snag a pic of the wings then lol. read more

I have been waiting to come after seeing a review on IG. I love battered wings. I went in to order and the decor is really cute. Else you'd expect from a korean spot with merc. Service was dry and I was hoping the food would make up for it. I ordered the five piece things with their chicken butt sauce mild. It took maybe about 10 minutes before it was ready. I quickly exited to my car and couldn't wait to open up my cute little box with wings. I enjoyed the crunch and sad to be happy it actually tasted fresh. The chicken was seasoned but next time I'll ask for the next heat since the gentleman who took my order wasn't any help there. I definitely would come back to try different flavor varieties. read more

The food here is a bold reminder that life is beautiful. The way they express this statement through the language of food in its structure, fluency, and interpretation, far exceeds the offerings of larger chains who charge a premium yet have nothing interesting to say. read more

I have drove 1 hour one way to eat here, it is one of the best chicken, Asian chicken places I have eaten at. Chicken was fried perfectly, very juicy on the inside. Both their sauce and dry rubs were very good. First time I ate here was about half year ago, went back 2 weeks ago and the taste was still VERY GOOD. Persons workin there was very friendly. read more

Very solid place for wings in the Columbia area. The chicken was filling and delicious, especially when paired with the bubble tea! The service was a little slow, hence 4 starts but the everything by else gives it 5 stars in my book. The restaurant itself is clean and has a cool aesthetic. Would recommend just not in a hurry! read more

Overall: Small shop with bubble tea, macaroons and desserts, and fried chicken and French fries. Only a couple of tables and one single stall restroom. If I could give 3.5 stars I would. We dropped in on a Friday night and ordered two hot chicken sandwiches, garlic soy chicken tenders, and fries. It took 30 minutes for our food to come out, which felt long since the place was pretty empty and it's set up like a fast casual place. The chicken was thick and juicy with a nice crunchy fry on it. My son was obsessed with the soy garlic sauce and the fries were pretty good. To me the prices felt a little high and the wait a little long for what the food and ambiance was. I always wish for at least one veggie on the menu, which there wasn't but I understand for the type of restaurant it is. There were no high chairs for kids. read more

Summary: Kokee Chicken (Butt) is located within the Kokee tea shop and offers a smallish menu of fried chicken options with sides. They also have a huge selection of Milk Tea, but my review is specifically on the food since I didn't get any of their speciality drinks. The food is good. It's definitely one of the better spicy chicken sandwich offerings in the area. I would check it out if you haven't been. Details: Starting with the location - it's definitely more of a milk tea shop first. Lots of foot traffic primarily ordering milk teas. The seating is pretty limited and not really "sit down and eat" vibes. I think there's probably like 6-7 tables total with 2 chairs at each. It's fine for a quick bite. Speaking of quick though, the food was not quick to come out. We ordered 2 chicken sandwiches, chicken tenders, and a side of waffle fries and it took probably close to 20-30 minutes to get our food. The food - it was good! The waffle fries reminds me a bit of a Chick-Fil-A waffle mixed with Arby's (in a good way). The flavor profile itself, I felt like certain things were a hint too sweet or a hint too salty. All in all, I thought everything was delicious and well-cooked. I can probably go without the chicken tenders next time. As far as menu items go, they also have a ton of options for ordering wings. I thought the chicken sandwich was definitely the best thing we ordered. Great balance on flavors and a good kick with spice. Service Staff was friendly, but not much interaction. As mentioned earlier, it's more of a milk tea spot, so once you order your food, it's pretty much hands off from the staff at that point. Not a negative, just set your expectation for bussing your own tables. Conclusion It was a good spot and I'd definitely recommend. Food took a little longer than expected to get. The dining area is a bit limited, but does the job for less busy days. read more

This place is amazing - best Korean fried chicken. The chicken butt sandwich is so good. The tenders and wings are great, too. I always recommend it to friends and it has become a go to spot for us. read more

I saw this place reviewed by Wingman on Instagram so I was intrigued. I called in an order over the phone because I know how long Korean fried chicken takes and the guy who answered the phone was easily the most unenthusiastic person I've ever met. He was the Squidward of this place. I ordered a 5 tender combo with honey soy garlic flavor, 5 wings original and some chicken butt sauce on the side. When I arrived they asked for the name on the order but of course no one ever asked me on the phone. They handed me food and I had to ask about the drink. The cashier pointed to the fridge and told me to help myself. If I hadn't asked I'm 100% confident they would've let me walk out of there without a drink. The food: the waffle fries were my favorite part of the meal. They were well seasoned and crispy, the type you can eat without ketchup. The chicken was very crispy and tasted fresh. For original wings, they did a great job. I was not thrilled to see the honey soy garlic in a small container rather than my tenders tossed in them. When restaurants do this I just chalk it up to laziness. So of course I had to get home, dump everything into a ziplock and toss it myself. I would give the sauce a 3/10. You couldn't taste the soy or garlic like you do with CM Chicken. The chicken butt sauce was nothing extraordinary either, it closely resembles Canes sauce from Raising Cane. All in all, I wanted this place to be a knockout but it dropped the ball in many places. CM Chicken is still the flavor king IMO. read more

Recently just moved to MD and coming from SoCal where it's Boba shops galore, so glad this place exists literally down the street from our house. No doubt I'll be a regular customer here.

My wife and I visited Kokee to fix a chicken craving we were having and wanted something new. We noticed Korean fried chicken and HAD to stop by. When you walk in it is very bright, CLEAN and welcoming! The menu is easy to see and navigate. The gentleman who took our order was friendly and even made a nice boba suggestion for my tea! I got Georgia on my Mind tea with peach pop boba which was so delicious!! My wife ordered the Green Grape tea with strawberry pop boba and that is another awesome choice! We decided to order two 10 count chicken and got the Hot wings and honey Soy garlic wings!!The chicken was larger than I hoped for and a little gummy, but still good. They were Fried hard, crispy, juicy and packed with flavor!! This is a good try if in the Columbia area. read more

Overall Experience, 4/5: had a good experience and would definitely come back. The combination of offerings is interesting, but it's worth trying. Food/Drink: 3.95/5: The bubble tea is a highlight. I'm a big fan of boba, and while many places have been disappointing lately, Kokee Tea always delivers. Their unique drinks are really delicious. The sandwich was also tasty--I especially liked the coleslaw, and the spice level was just right. The only thing that disappointing me was the macaroon, I got the cookies and cream, and it did not taste that great... Pricing, 4/5: The combo pricing was reasonable. We got a drink, sandwich, and fries for about $18. I would mention that the macaroon is a little pricey. Service, 4.5/5: The service was great. Everyone was super friendly, and the food came out quickly after we ordered. They prepare everything fresh. Aesthetic/Atmosphere, 3.5/5: Kokee Tea is a cute boba shop. They always have stuffed animals and lots of school supplies for sale, adding to the charm. read more

11.7.22 I've had a hankering for chicken wings lately. Second restaurant I've been to in two weeks. This is apparently a franchise, but this location also sells chicken whereas many of the other locations only sell tea. They are located in Columbia Palace Plaza in the same shopping center as Asean Bistro, UPS Store, and Tino's Bistro. It's a rather small shop and they have five 2-seat tables. Their chicken includes tender, wings, and chicken sandwich. They also sell fried shrimp and oysters, and sides. The tenders and sandwich can be purchased as a combo with waffle fries and a can soda. Their wings can be purchased in a quantity of 5, 10, 20, 30, or 40. The chicken sandwich has different levels of spiciness, and the wings and tenders have different sauce options. They have different types of tea including milk tea, cold cloud, fresh fruit tea, and ice blended. They have a selection of boba and jelly toppings to choose from and you customize the level of sweetness of the tea. My husband ordered a brown sugar tea and 5 piece yangnyeom tenders and a side of chicken butt sauce. I ordered the taro tea and 10 pc honey soy garlic wings and waffle fries. With tip, it came out to $48 which is pretty pricy for fast casual. You pick up your order at the counter when it's ready. They deliver through Uber Eats and Grubhub. It took about 20 minutes to cook the food. A bit too long in my opinion since there was no one there, but most likely they serve more patrons through deliveries than dine in. My husband liked his tenders and preferred the chicken butt sauce instead of the yangnyeom. He said the chicken was super moist. I liked my wings and the fact that the sauce wasn't slathered on them. It was moist and piping hot. Fries could have been crispier and would have tasted better with a dipping sauce. My tea was sweet and flavorful and the chewiness of the boba was perfect. I am definitely a fan, although I will only come occasionally given that it's a tad on the pricier side. read more

Kokkee kitchen was an excellent experience, the cashier was very tentative and kind. The staff in the kitchen were working very hard while the restaurant was lively on Saturday around 7 pm. We got the Spicy Yangnyeom wings, Honey Soy Garlic wings ,and the Chicken Butt Sandwich combo. We got our food in about 15 minutes after we ordered! We got both meals for roughly 30 bucks but 100% worth it. Super filling! FYI: No Bathroom Spicy Yangnyeom Wings: These wings were absolutely a hit. The wings were coated well with the Yangnyeom sauce. It had a sweet honey like taste, slight kick of heat, an assortment of seasoning. The chicken skin was crunchy and the inside was packed with flavor and juice. This was my favorite of the three. Honey Soy Garlic Wings: The wings were great, it was a dry rub that didn't have too much of one flavor and was a great mix of the honey, soy, and garlic. The skin was cooked perfectly by not being too oily, had a good crunch, and was super moist on the inside. Chicken Butt Sandwich: My girlfriend said this "Is the best fried chicken sandwich l ever had" the chicken was both crispy and juice. The bun was toasted and fluffy. The house slaw and pickle added freshness and balance to the hearty chicken. The waffle fries were incredible, they were crispy, well seasoned, and had good thickness. She'll be coming back for this sandwich. read more

I've done DoorDash deliveries but had never tried the food here because I am not into bubble tea. (Watch the documentary on bubble tea, it's shocking) I finally went in because I kept seeing signs for, "chicken Butt". Now that sounds like a good time ! So I went in with the added joy of discovering that they have fried oysters! Such a random allotment of foods but maybe good? It's all or nothing. I got three tenders and 5 fried oysters. Firstly, the fried oysters are surprisingly good. They look really basic but they are dense and juicy. I'll be back because I love fried oysters and this place is quick! I also got three tenders. Oh the tenders are huge! Perfect sizes! Thick flavorful and juicy. Mine were fresh right out of the deep fryer. I am tearing up while writing this. It was that good. Big fat juicy hot tenders. There's little to no seasoning but I dipped them in the soy sauce they gave me. Chicken Butt read more

Great place to get some wings and tea! We ordered 10 original wings and 10 soy garlic wings online, and they were ready to be picked up when we arrived. The wings are delicious, flavorful, crisp, tender : made perfectly hot and without too much breading. I'm glad we got both flavors. The wings also heated up in the microwave the next day, they were still crispy. They also have chicken sandwiches, tenders, fried shrimp, oysters, boba teas and macaroons. Their coconut green tea not pictured here, was nice and refreshing. This place is great, we will be back soon. read more

Saw this place online and decided to take the 20 min drive to this spot. Will update once I try the food but I did want to comment on the customer service. I was not greeted and stood there for what seemed to be 5 min. After I decided to no longer count how long I would be standing I mentioned to the guy at the counter who was folding to go boxes of they were taking orders and that I would like to place one. Maybe it's the younger generation but this person made it appear that I was bothering him to place an order. After my first item he gave me the total and all. I had to mention that I have more to order. The interaction was very odd. I was paying attention to other customers with him but the next ones that came through the door were greeted appropriately by a young lady who was much more personable. read more

I was interested in trying the boba tea that everyone speaks highly of. I was able to try the Mango Passionfruit tea and I added peach boba. It was delicious, not too sweet, refreshing.

Reviewing after my first visit to Kokee Kitchen. Got their Sandwich + Waffle Fries + Bubble Tea combo. It saves about $2. 1) The chicken butt sandwich was delicious. You can get original, mild, hot, or extra hot spiciness. I got mild, I enjoyed the kick. The chicken was crispy and juicy, the slaw and pickle added some lightness, and the sauce added a tasty creaminess. Very yum. 2) The waffle fries were seasoned. I thought they did not hold up well after the 15 minute drive home as they were lukewarm and semi-soggy when I ate them (unlike the sandwich which was still great). I wasn't super excited by these. 3) Bubble tea: I got the Kokee Milk tea since it's their name and I thought it should be good. Of note, it was more milky tea as a uniform consistency rather than the layer of sweet cloud foam on top. 50% sweetness was pretty sweet, I'd probably go for 25% next time. The honey boba was very good consistency and flavor. But overall, the tea was good quality - I'd come back for more and try something different next time. Overall rating: Good. Would come back. read more

Chicken butter sandwiches are tasty and the Boba tea was a great compliment to the entire food experience.

Flavor was great, chicken piece was just a tad small for the price, but I guess that's because every chicken isn't the same. Breading was perfect, sauce was delicious without being too overpowered with the heat. Can't say anything about the slaw and pickles, those aren't my thing. The fries. Probably some of the best fries I have had in years. Imagine waffle fries with the Arby's curly fry seasoning. Fried to perfection. read more

Walk don't run to one of the best chicken spots in the area. The chicken and fries are out of this world. Chicken is seasoned well. Packed with plenty of flavor. Tender, juicy and fairly large. You have mild, sweet and crunchy wing flavors to choose from. The fries make me think if Chick Fil a and Popeyes merged these waffle fries are what they would serve. Wings do take some time to prepare so just be patient. The orange sangria and grapefruit teas were some of my favorites so far. I've been here twice for their wings and boba. Definitely coming back to try their chicken sandwich and other boba flavors. read more

I have been eyeing this spot for the past month or so because I pass it on my way to Church on Sundays, and today (well yesterday now) I decided to check it out. Considering the menu, I already had in mind that I will be coming here at least twice. For my first time, I decided to do a 5pc wing combo Yangnyeom flavor, with waffle fries, and the Dragon Fruit Rose signature with boba. When it comes to my food preference with chicken, I always prefer a chicken sandwich, tenders, or nuggets over bone-in, but I was feeling wings, but that's where I went wrong. The wings are jumbo sized (which I don't prefer) and they are very juicy. I mean they were cooked to perfection, and they were cooked all the way through on the inside as well. Sometimes when having jumbo wings, the meat isn't always cooked to perfection on the inside, but these were so I really appreciated that! They just simply didn't stand out to me as "amazing wings", but they were still pretty good. The waffle fries were good but seemed like frozen waffle fries that were cooked. The Dragon Fruit Rose was the star of the show for me, it was really good! However, I think when I try the chicken butt sandwich and tenders, I will like those more and will most likely make this review 5 stars. The service was pretty decent, and there are a couple of tables in there to sit if you like, and the ambiance is very chill. Overall, I do recommend this place and I will be back to try the chicken butt sandwich, tenders, and the other drinks! read more

The food was amazing - a perfectly juicy and tender chicken sandwich with light breading and so much flavor! The store is so welcoming and even with a full lunch crowd, there is plenty of space. It's easy to carry on a conversation without having to be loud. The thing I wasn't expecting was the adorable items for sale and I wound up giving in to my passion for adorable stationery items. The tea was fantastic, and I would have the coffee boba in the morning next time. read more

Kokee Tea replaced the two precious wing places here in this sleepy little strip of Columbia. The Korean lady was very polite and the bubble tea is not bad. There are few tables to sit down at but this is definitely more of a grab and go sort of place. Service is fast and the shop is always clean. No complaints! Recommend getting the passion fruit mango or the Dragon and Rose tea! read more

I went in late afternoon and ordered Dream of Butterfly bubble tea and 30 piece wings (half honey soy garlic and half original wings). The service was ok and the place looked clean. It took about 15 minutes for my order to be ready. The wings were just ok. No comparison to other Korean fried chicken places like bb.a and Bonchon. The Honey soy garlic flavor was better than the original. My husband said the original reminded him of the wings at some of the Chinese buffet. The tea was way too sweet that I couldn't finish it. I would go back to try their chicken sandwich and other teas drinks but probably not for the wings. read more

Great fried chicken. Loved the sandwich & Oreo tea. Ready fast & honestly worth the drive to get there.
