We ordered online for pickup and the food was freshly made and ready when we got there. Everything was very clean tasting and delicious, would recommend stopping by!
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.
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
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.
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.
This is one of my favorite lunch spots I always get the spicy pork and a side of kimchi. It is fresh and delicious and the portion sizes are great. Dining in or take out it's a perfect option for lunch. Definitely one of my favorite spots for a quick lunch.
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!
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.
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!
Pretty tasty. The service was quick, the food came out hot and fresh, and had pretty decent flavor. I'd love more of a variety for flavor on this breaded chicken. But still great.
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.

This place is fantastic! It's your average hole-in-the-wall place that's not all that average. When you walk in, your visited with a cute, cozy feel and the pleasant & pungent smells of Kimchi and sautéed veggies. A Korean dive serving up fresh made Korean classics and authentic experience with their food, atmosphere and service. If there's anything I would change about this place, it wouldn't be a thing! Definitely stop by this place! It's worth it if you have a thing for Korean food! read more

This place is amazing. I love authentic Korean cuisine and this stuff was perfect. It's not badly priced either. I love the Kimchi and Bibimbap! My friends and I went and ate there for lunch and it was super tasty! The server took our order quickly and we got our food in a decent amount of time! There's not much space in the restaurant so just a warning that if you have a big group you'll want to find a time when it's not busy. I love the space though and the foods amazing. Definitely would go again. read more
Ok - cute little place located on a Connor and limited parking but nice folks and they prepare food as it's ordered so nice and fresh! We ordered: Bibimbop ($9.99). Served in a stone pot ! Duo bop ($9.99) - Korean crispy pork cutlet! Spicy Korean Ramen ($5.99)- Potstickers (5@$399)- didn't take s picture of the potstickers but they were so good! Served hot and eaten with the spicy sauce very good! read more

Kimchi Jjigae! I usually go for variety and try new things, but I can't tear myself away from their kimchi jjigae. I'd never heard of it before and just tried it on a whim. I think it's so addicting because of the variety of what you can pick out with your chopsticks. Pork, rice patty, fish patty, tofu, and of course kimchi. The rice topped with fried egg is great too. It's nice and crispy and the yolk has been perfectly over-easy every time. I did try the bibimbap once and it was fine, but not something I'd come back for. read more

Great, authentic Korean food! With quick service, an uncomplicated menu, and a simple restaurant, koko Lunchbox makes the perfect lunch stop or takeout grab. I wouldn't recommend it for a sit down dinner or date night but it's a great little find! The menu is simple and to the point, everything is delicious, and the servings are generous. I lived in South Korea for two years and can say that the food tastes totally legit. The restaurant offers three main categories of food - dupbop (meat on top of rice), bibimbop (spicy meat and veggie rice bowls), and ramen. My wife and I both ordered dupbop - me the spicy pork and her the teriyaki chicken. Both tasted awesome. And they gave us so much food! Each one came with the main course as well as a small salad and Japchae side (a traditional Korean rice noodle side dish). Everything is about $10 but I thought that was fair for how much food you get. The service is quick and friendly too. The restaurant is tucked away and nothing special inside but it has a great "hole in the wall" feel. Check this place out! read more

This place was dead when I went, so I wasn't expecting to be blown away, but oh was I wrong!! The bulgogi was really good and the portion size was great for the price. The decor on the inside is very cute with the wall murals too! Service was spot on, and made for a great fun lunch. I highly recommend coming here, as the menu is perfect for any taste! read more
My wife and I had the stone bowl bibimbap, and it was dope. HUGE portions, tons of vegetables, sauces on the table. How can it get better? We also got some mango and strawberry boba and they were excellent. The boba weren't too firm, and the flavors of the smoothies were great. The great thing about the stone bowls is they keep the food hot for a long time, so if you're a slow eater, you don't have to worry about it getting cold. This place is dope. read more

Great food and environment. I enjoyed my meal and plan to return soon. Something for everyone. read more
There seem to be quite a few Korean places in Utah county lately and this is one of the best. Flavors and spot on, portions are generous, and the pork is especially tangy. The pot stickers are good, nice flavor, juicy center. Maybe a bit crunchier and the outside than I like but still good. The staff was helping in guiding me to what to order for my first time here. I got the spicy pork and was very happy with the dish. Nice presentation, good portion, rich spicy pork flavors, and a scoop of rice. Decor is cute if a little bit "hole in the wall" feeling. Lots of seating. If you're looking for Korean food, this is recommended. read more

This was our first time at Koko's and we let the cashier know so he could recommend what to get. We went with 2 of his entree suggestions (spicy chicken and sweet bulgogi beef), added potstickers, and $3.99 taro boba tea. Cute hole in the wall with fresh food. The menu pictures show to-go; they should use dine-in pics so you can see all the ingredients (we had to ask what was in it). Dining in means your food is neatly served and spread on a melamine plate. The portions are generous, enough for me to fill up and take the other 1/3 home for leftovers. I literally pulled up Amazon while waiting for my food to search for portable cutlery because they have metal spoons but no forks, just plastic forks. There was an empty container by the spoons that led me to believe there ARE forks but maybe in the back somewhere. I asked for metal forks, the cashier/server said they don't have metal ones. My later conversation with him makes me wonder if they have any at all or if they were just all dirty at the time. More on that... The sweet bulgogi beef flavor is spot on, not just a bunch of sauce spread all over the dish. They cook the tastiness into the meat and ingredients. Another reviewer said it's better than Cup Bop - I don't like CB at all, Koko seems legit. I haven't been to Korea to know, but I am from Seattle, where Asian cuisine is plentiful. We tried Bumblebee Korean BBQ a few weeks ago where I ordered the same dish - they are saucier (and dirtier inside the restaurant) but that doesn't mean better, and the price is similar, portions a bit smaller, and they serve dine-in the same as to-go. The boba tea has TOO MUCH SWEETENER. I've noticed this with Utah boba teas, they add more sweetener than necessary. The Provo Boba Shack food truck makes theirs almost as sweet, so does the Springville Orange Leaf (I ask them for no added sweetener, which tastes more authentic in flavor). Pho No 1 in Lindon has a better balance without asking for no sweetener (depends on who makes it, because sometimes it's a tad too sweet). Typically, the sweetness should only need to be what's cooked with the bobas and not added. If we really want to talk authenticity, it wouldn't be a smoothie version either. But Koko's boba tea is served without the lid, so the quantity is heaping, and for only $3.99 it's a good deal if I actually drank it. When the cashier/server (sorry, I don't know what to call him) came to check on us, I mentioned the boba tea is much too sweet (I had 2 sips), he said sorry and nothing else. I asked if it could be remade without the sweetener and he said it couldn't (so is the sweet built in?). At the end of our meal, we got to-go containers and I showed him my undrunken (?) cup of boba, asked if I could have a coupon or refund or something since I was throwing the entire thing (minus 2 tiny sips) in the trash. He said he would have to ask the chef. When he came back, he said they don't have a coupon or anything to give me, but the next time I come, they can make me another one if I ask them before they make it to leave out the sugar... ...but couldn't they have made me a replacement boba tea when I first mentioned it? And with this confusing communication that made me wonder that there ARE metal forks but they weren't clean to use, maybe? So even though we enjoyed our food (2 entrees, potstickers, a fountain drink, and $3.99 boba tea), I won't be coming back because of the boba incident - it may only be $3.99, but there are plenty of other places I can spend an extra 4 bucks and have a better experience. And I'll carry metal utensils in my bag so I'm not stuck eating off of take out plastic forks while others slurp their soup on metal spoons. P.S. I can handle sweet stuff... I love the decadent treats at Provo's Taste and ate 18% fat (highest amount known) dark chocolate ice cream an hour earlier at Bookers Ice Cream parlor in Vineyard next to Megaplex. The issue isn't that I can't handle sweets it's that boba doesn't need to be OVER sweetened. read more
Koko brought back great memories from my years in college at BYU and when I first started dating my husband. Our favorite restaurant was this little hole in the wall close to the south east end of campus called Seoul Carryout. It was the best and it was a tragedy when it closed. Koko is very similar to it and this made me very happy. Koko has a small menu but we liked the four items we have tried. The Bulgogi, spicy pork, pork Tonkatsu, and stone bowl Bibimpop were all very good. The Bulgogi and Spicy pork are served with rice, green salad, and Japchae noodles. The spicy pork was flavorful without being overwhelmingly spicy. The Tonkatsu is served with rice and Korean macaroni salad, and it is tender and crispy. Everything was very well cooked and tasty. They also have very good potstickers and service is fantastic. So why not 5 stars? Because kimchee has to be purchased separately, you only get a tiny little bit, and it is not very good kimchee. Because not everybody likes kimchee, I understand selling it separately so it is not wasted, but the tiny little container had just enough for like three bites. I would have to spend about $5 just to get enough kimchee for myself and my whole family loves kimchee. I suggest they make it an optional side with their dishes. Maybe choose between Japchae noodles or macaroni salad and kimchee. Or, keep selling it separately but make portions larger. Another thing, find another brand of kimchee and get rid of the little plastic containers--that's a lot of waste. We will come back. If the kimchee situation is resolved, I'll be happy to give Koko five stars. read more

Authentic bibimbop! Potstickers are a 10 out of 10 and the sweet sauce Omgherd!! We will be back a lot because I LOVE bibimbop!!! Had the honeydew boba as well and it was delicious!! Great flavors and you can tell a good place if the broth for the ramen is good and let me Tell you it was good!! My parents are skittish about trying new foods but they gave it an 8!! That's saying a lot!! read more
Great find! Look forward to coming back. Beef bulgogi was my favorite. Daughter loved the kimchi fried rice too. The boba shakes looked scrumptious and would like to try on another visit. We saved all of our space for the incredible food. read more

I lived in Provo/Orem for 6 years and never tried Kiki Lunchbox until two weeks before moving. I am kicking myself for not trying to sooner! Such awesome authentic Korean food for a great price. The portions are huge and I would definitely recommend! It gets pretty busy during lunch so order ahead if doing takeout. read more

It starts with 5 words: all-you-can-drink-miso. The beginning of a fine dining experience. This place is kind of a hole in the wall, but it's such a great find. The first time I went, my husband and I got the stone bowls. Good, but not great. It took us months later to come back and we both got the bulgogi. 15/10 would recommend. The bulgogi is cooked perfectly on some lettuce and a bed of rice, with noodles and a salad on the side. The portions are huge for the price--the same price as Cupbop, but bigger portions and more authentic flavors. The sauces are so good I could drink them, if there wasn't all-you-can-drink miso. Service is fast, food is delicious, place is clean but not too flashy. Everything you would want from an eating establishment like this and more. read more

Just a quick stop for Tonkatsu Ramen. Anytime someone serves it, try it. Much like Ossu Bucco. The place is small. Not for a romantic dinner (unless you're a college student). The menu looks great. The food that I saw coming out looked and smelled great, then I had to sit down and leave the people alone. Just kidding, cmon!!! I left happy and planning on returning with my wife for valentines. read more

Don't let the exterior turn you away. This place is a yummy Korean BBQ spot near BYU. I stopped here after a hike and was glad I did. They make their own miso soup which is delicious. I wondered if they make their sriracha mayo in house. It was really good. I felt my dish was pretty spicy, but I liked it. Friendly service. I would eat here again. read more
