What a hole in the wall, in the best way! Very small and tight parking lot AND restaurant. It was packed when we got there but luckily we did get a seat right away. The service was okay (the gal who took our order seemed to rush us) but the food came out quickly. The beef stone bowl was good but needed much more meat. It didn't have a lot of ground beef. It did seem to need a little more flavor but it helped with the chili and spicy mayo. The teriyaki chicken plate was good. The meat was tender and flavorful. I do wish that they added more teriyaki sauce on the top of meat after they bring it out. I really enjoyed the glass noodles that this meal came with. We also started with the potstickers, which were truly amazing. They were cooked perfectly. Very flavorful and yummy. I would come back and I do recommend! read more

Traditional humble Korean comfort food served up in simple surroundings. There are different kinds of Korean dining. Koko has a unique niche. It is the kind of Korean that would be served for lunch in a small corner cafe or packaged and offered during lunch meetings. Both my wife and I feel that Koko is familiar and comforting. It is what we enjoyed in Seoul when we lived there. read more

Always a great experience! Koko Lunchbox is the place to be when it comes to Bibimbop. The staff are friendly & service is fast. Everything is made to order & fresh from the kitchen to your table. Their drinks are decent if you're looking for a liquid treat. Atmosphere is very mom & pop. Parking is severely limited so be prepared to rideshare or walk. Worth it. read more

Koko Lunchbox - Bibimbop - Korean Near Me - Provo, Utah

Delicious Korean restaurant friendly service a small little kind of mom and pop feel inviting atmosphere probably about a dozen tables. We can't get very busy so be willing to wait 15 to 20 minutes for your meal but I felt like it was worth the wait. It's definitely Korean restaurant that doesn't have Bonchon if you're used to that Common Korean meal the portions I thought were very good helping for the price. I would definitely call this a hidden gem in a sense that it's not exactly off the main road and nor is it a very trendy atmosphere kind of feel like almost like a dive, kind of location wherethe bathroom is down the hallway a little away from the restaurant would highly recommend and definitely if I'm back in Provo would come here to get some good Korean food read more

Wanted Korean food. First time here. What I loved: Tonkatsu was generous in portion size. 3 large pieces of pork side salad and sauce option of original spicy. Service was attentive and friendly. The tofu soup was little bland but with some salt the flavors came out. If you are looking for a quick and cheap Korean comfort food joint in Utah County this is good option. read more

I've seen Koko's numerous times while driving by but today I finally made it inside. Parking was a bit tricky on a busy Saturday night, I'm grateful that I didn't get towed. Provo can be a little tricky that way. The shop is very bright and clean with kind staff who were on top of the 6+ sized group I was with. I ordered a Stone Kimchi Bibimbap, and it was delicious! I loved seeing all the veggies and other goodies on top before mixing it all together. Definitely worth a return visit to try more of their delicious menu. read more

Very authentic and good! Plenty of food for your money. Service was friendly. The view from the restaurant overlooks the mountains with a stunning view. Ambience is no frills but I appreciate the kewpie mayo, soy sauce, & chili sauce on the table. The food is amazing. This stone bowl dish comes with a variety of veggies, rice, & meat. I wish there was a short rib option but I got bigogi meat instead. With the bowl was hotter to crisp the rice but it was still tasty. Give this small business a try. It's worth the trip. read more

Koko Lunchbox - Korean Near Me - Provo, Utah

I can't believe it's taken me this long to get to Koko. I love Korean food and I've eaten it all. This is a really fun take on some Korean classics. It's very close to BYU campus and very convenient for a quick lunch. Absolutely worth a visit! read more

The Stone Bowl was fantastic. It was like having CupBop, but it stays heated the whole time. The staff were friendly and the atmosphere was nice. read more

This place is amazing. We usually picked up to-go orders from here, since you can't really go wrong with rice and meat in a box. Today we finally had the time to sit down and enjoy a meal. The location is fine. Almost, but not quite, a "hole in the wall" experience. The staff is super nice and friendly. When they get busy, it's busy!! And with one person running the counter and dining room, it gets a little slow, but staff works hard and as fast as they can. The food is amazing. Great taste, great quality. Cat go wrong with any of the food here. If you need something quick, might not be your place. But come sit and eat delicious food when you have the time. read more

So much food, and it all tasted great! The server was very attentive, which made the experience even better. My only downside is that the restaurant itself feels like a dive. I almost walked out because of the interior, which could definitely use an upgrade. The food is good enough that I think they should invest in a cleaner, more inviting space. I would recommend this place--just maybe for takeout rather than dining in. read more

Very good place. Had a spicy tteobokki soup the broth was lovely. Also the spicy pork it was delicious. Good service. Nice ambiance. read more

This place is the local go to for my coworkers and I. Everything is served piping hot and is delicious. You don't have a lot of options on the menu, but you don't need them. You do have 3 staples sauces to choose from: gojujang, spicy mayo and some type of sweet soy sauce. We always leave super full and satisfied, and have been late getting back to work a few times due to enjoying ourselves so much. A little hole in the wall worth going to. read more

We got here and didn't have a problem finding parking. We walked in and were helped right away. We ordered the spicy beef bulgogi, shrimp tempura, and potstickers. We also ordered a taro smoothie. I was very impressed with the food. The beef bulgogi had a perfect amount of spice and was so flavorful. The shrimp tempura were crispy and tasty. I didn't get to try the potstickers but my kids wolfed them down so I'm sure they were yummy! The taro smoothie wasn't as good but I'm also very picky when it comes to boba. I like boba cooked in a brown sugar syrup and not just plain. The taro flavor itself wasn't that great so I'd suggest an actual boba place instead but the food was top notch and I would definitely eat here again. I'd love to try some of their other foods, especially the kimchi jiggae. The space inside is clean and quiet. The worker was so helpful and very friendly! read more

I have really slept on Koko Lunchbox. It's been in the heart of Provo for as long as I can remember but this is the first time I've tried it and it was delicious. My sisters have been stopping by for lunch and said the Bulgogi beef was incredible, so I finally stopped by to give it a try. The dining room is pretty simple and there is only one waiter, but we were still able to find a table for the three of us and it didn't take too long for the food to come out. I highly recommend trying Koko soon, don't pass it by for 12 YEARS like I did! read more

Staff here is amazing so nice and so helpful! Five out of five stars! Now the food, the food is the bomb! I had the stone bowl and let me just tell you this thing comes out and a flaming, hot stone bowl with amazing ingredients and flavor, and it only gets better as you keep eating it, especially if you had a few sauces on top, which are on every table. My wife got the teriyaki beef and it was so good. I love the ambience, the mirror on the wall just brings a nice touch. We will be back again and again to see our friends here at Koko lunchbox. read more

Koko Lunchbox - Korean Near Me - Provo, Utah

Craved Korean in our visit to Provo. It's a small restaurant and was packed at the height of lunch during a weekday. There was one lady working behind the register taking orders as well as seating people. Had to wait a few minutes before a table opened up. The view of the mountains was beautiful from the window. Order: -Stone bowl bibimbap: Very delicious and comparable ones I've had in the Bay Area. It was balanced with rice, meat, and veggies. I recommend adding some of the soy sauce provided. The flavors were good, nothing out of the ordinary but tasty. Service is a bit slow because of the limited workers, but they were very friendly. read more

This place was way better than I expected!! I have seen them when I've searched for places to try in Provo at least a handful of times and was never drawn here but now I'm hooked! The house sauce was my personal favorite on the chicken. The fries were thin cut and well done to perfection! I tried the Bok tots covered in Parmesan and pot stickers and both were really good too. The paintings on the walls with all the chickens are fun! read more

I enjoyed the food and service was fast. I do not have any complaints. Koko is a great option for some authentic Korean food. Give it a try you won't be disappointed. read more

I've been meaning to try Koko Lunch box but with the hours and my crazy schedule I've never made it down there in time. This place is a legit 10/10 for me. My husband was in Korea for 2 years and said this is the most legit Korean food he's had here in Utah and he can't wait to go back. I know my dish (udon noodles) isn't Korean, but I'm a sucker for udon. The interior is cozy and the service was excellent. They also have Asian drinks (Milkis) and Boba. We will definitely be back!! read more

I'm a huge fan of Koko Lunchbox!! I've been coming here regularly for a few years now and I've never been disappointed with the food. It's some of the best Korean food I've found in Utah County. The outside/inside may not look like much but trust me, the food is amazing. You really can't go wrong with anything on the menu. My go-to items are the Stone Bowl (bibimbap) and Spicy Pork plate. The Kimchi Jjigae and Katsu plate are also amazing!! I also love the Kimchi Fried Rice and Beef Bulgogi plate. Like I said, you can't go wrong here! The portions are huge and I usually have leftovers which I don't mind at all. Sometimes my husband and I will split a Stone Bowl or plate with a side of mandu and it's the perfect portion for us (for a reasonable price too). Definitely check Koko's out if you haven't already! Super glad this place exists in Provo. read more

Koko Lunchbox - Kimchi Jjigae and Stone Bowl - Korean Near Me - Provo, Utah

Incredibly good food. Came here on a whim originally. The food is amazing. Think CupBop but waaaay better. Similar flavors and concepts, but the ingredients are higher quality, flavors are better, and the service is very friendly. Go here always instead of CupBop. You'll much prefer it. There's also tons of other options for food, all of which were delicious. Top notch. We've already gone back once since our first time a few days ago. We'll be back 100%. This may be in my top 10 favorite restaurants of all time. I always get the spicy pork dupbop and I get it with a fried egg which I mix in with everything. So good. My wife loves the stone bowl. We both adore their Kimchi fried rice. Seriously I don't think you can go wrong here. It's all incredible. Absolutely try it out. read more

This is one of my favorite places to eat! The food is absolutely delicious, and my standout dish is the Dupbop teriyaki bulgogi beef. The beef is packed with flavor, and I love the teriyaki sauce that perfectly complements it. The combination of the rice, beef, and glass noodles is amazing; the flavors work so well together. The boba smoothies are good--the strawberry flavor is my top recommendation. Overall, this restaurant is a must-try for anyone who loves flavorful dishes! read more

I really think that this is the best and most authentic Korean food in the Provo area. A staple for BYU students, it serves large portions at an amazing price! I got the dupop with the spicy beef, and it's just so amazing how flavorful beef and rice can be! The bimibop was great too, they had a perfect fried egg on the meat! Service is always fast and polite, and they have a really nice space with good lighting and interesting murals. Best place to go if you're craving simple Korean! read more

Delicious, loved it. The portion size is generous, very fairly priced and the service was quick. This will definitely become a pre BYU game staple. I got the spicy pork and it was fantastic, next time I'll try the beef. The kimchi was also good, not too soggy. Even the noodles were particularly tasty. read more

Koko Lunchbox - Spicy Pork - Korean Near Me - Provo, Utah

I eat a lot of Korean food and this is one of my favorite spots. One of the most authentic Korean spots around. You can never go wrong with Bibimbap(pronounced be-beam-bop). My next favorite dish is Tteokbokki (pronounced tuck-boke-E). Always add some gochujang (Korean red pepper paste) or as they call it, "Korean spicy sauce." Portions are HUGE, so come hungry or be prepared for leftovers. read more

Koko Lunchbox - Bibimbap. - Korean Near Me - Provo, Utah

Hole in the wall, clean, and simple. They've got kpop playing the in the background. Tables are set almost far apart for social distancing. Came here on a Wednesday morning shortly after opening. We were the only ones here, but I'm not sure if that's the norm because this is during the time of COVID. They have a bottle of hand sanitizer and wipes at the door. I ordered the Korean crispy pork cutlet with a fried egg since I was really hungry. My friend got beef bulgogi and pot stickers. The portions are big and enough for two meals. The food is good, especially if you're not into heavily salted good. If you are, it might be bland, but that's what the bottle of soy sauce on the table is for. read more
