Great food and drinks. One of my go-to Asian fusion spots in the area. Consistently delicious every time I come. I must say I prefer their lunch menu compared to their dinner menu. Alex was a great help each time. read more

KOKO Sips + Bites - Chicken Tonkotsu Chicken Ramen - Asian Fusion Near Me - Knoxville, Tennessee

The quality of the food is excellent- so fresh and flavorful! Our server Yune, was friendly and checked in on us often enough. As the kitchen is open, expect to smell like delicious food, I usually dislike this but it wasn't too bad. read more

KOKO Sips + Bites - Asian Fusion Near Me - Knoxville, Tennessee

The food at KOKO Sips & Bites is a fusion of Korean and Japanese food. I ordered take-out of Ramen for myself and the Japanese Curry bowl for my husband. I didn't wait long for the food to be prepared. When I arrived at home, the food was still hot. The food was delicious and we didn't have any leftovers. KOKO Sips & Bites is tucked away on Town and Country Circle, near Best Buy. read more

KOKO Sips + Bites - Chicken Ramen with poached egg - Asian Fusion Near Me - Knoxville, Tennessee

This place was good. I have never been before. I ordered the ramen, the broth was creamy and flavorful. Other appetizers on the table were good too! We had the tuna and edamame. I have never ordered ramen anywhere else so I have nothing to compare it to. Gave it 4 stars because I felt they definitely wanted us to leave once we finished eating, it wasn't crowded. Nor had a line. My friends and I just wanted to chat a little longer since we never see one another. read more

I went in for the ramen. Delicious. Good atmosphere, business was slow that night but I enjoyed myself and will return!

I have been watching some K drama horror series along with Culinary Class Wars on Netflix and it left me wanting to explore Korean cuisine. I have never had bibimbap but it's always looked and sounded so delicious! My server was able to answer my questions about the spice level of the dish. I got the beef bulgogi. My food didn't take long at all to come out and was nice and warm and looked delicious. I ordered some yumyum sauce to add and I put a few spoonfuls of the miso soup into my bowl as well. I didn't use all of the gochujang sauce. I liked that it was on the side so I could adjust the flavor to my liking. The veggies were so fresh and the meat was tender and flavorful. It's a large portion but it doesn't feel heavy. My only slight "wish" was for the egg to be just a little more fried so that all of the white around the yolk was completely done and the edges of the egg would be crispy. I came shortly before closing so I wasn't offered dessert. I will definitely be back because I want to try some lunch items and the kimbap. I love these types of places-- unassuming from the outside with a great menu and food I crave. Thanks for my first (of many I'm sure) bibimbap!! read more

Great management! Excellent service! I wish I would've eaten there!!! Highly recommend!

I called in an order for shrimp fried rice, they said about 15 minutes. I came in and paid and had to come back. Was ready maybe 35-40 minutes. There was only 5 shrimp in it. It was tasty, but should cook the onions more and add more shrimp for $18.57. read more

I got my order to go, it was a pork kutsu and a ramen bowl, both were bland. Not going back, I'm good. The staff when I picked up my order was nice. Got me my order really fast. read more

A shining new star for Knoxville! KOKO is a breath of fresh air for the Knoxville food scene! While the exterior is humble, the food deserves to brag. Bite after bite is flavorful and fresh. The textures are electrically combined and each Kimbap is more than filling enough for one. KOKO is serving hospitality and unique ingredients from masago and ube to yuzu and goyza. If you're at all in search of something new, try KOKO and you'll be hooked. I'll certainly be back! Finally, parking is ample, reservations are recommended but not required, the owner serves as a hostess and waitress, and the desserts each sound irresistible. Don't miss out. read more

I thought the food was fresh, tasty and a decent lunch time portion at a fair price. The service was good and the server even modified our dishes at our request. We had a salmon bowl with some nice fresh vegetables and perfectly cooked rice. We also added the miso soup which was a good addition for an extra dollar. We liked this restaurant and I'm sure we'll be back soon. read more

Unfortunately I had a really poor experience here on a Friday night. My partner and I walked in and stood at the door for 15 minutes being ignored by every employee. The restaurant was pretty busy with only 3 servers. None of them greeted or acknowledged our presence. We made the contact with multiple employees and were ignored. I understand they were busy but a simple "I'll be with you shortly" would've been better than being ignored. This was just really disappointing customer service. I'll be taking my business elsewhere. read more

I stopped in on a whim, and I am so glad I did. The aroma was tantalizing as soon as I entered. There was fresh food sizzling on the grill. The staff was welcoming and helpful. My meal was so good that while I meant to take a portion home, I could not stop myself from finishing every bite. I am so glad I happened upon this gem, and they will soon recognize me as a regular! read more

Absolutely love this place :) everything I've tried so far has been amazing and I can't wait to go back

Walked right in and sat down and was served very quickly. My server was friendly and attentive. My entrée was very good, but I didn't realize it was fried tofu when I ordered it. It doesn't say that, and I didn't think to ask. read more

We came as a group of 6 and got seated shortly. We ordered a lot, takoyaki, assorted tempura plate, egg Ramen, Tteok Mandu Guk, pork katsu and dolsot bibimbap. My pork katsu tasted very good, but I was expecting some vegetables (usually cabbage) instead of just pickled ginger. The takoyaki is literally almost all flour. You can barely find the tako (octopus). The assorted tempura was really good. Fried tofu is ok. My friend's egg Ramen does not have egg...The serving lady did apologize and said they ran out of eggs. What really disappointed us is some of our orders-the bibimbap should come with salad and miso soup. Two friends realized no salad or miso soup was served when half-way through their bibimbap, the lady came and said they ran out of miso soup, and asked if my friends still want the salad. Looks like they need more ingredients and more staffs, and better organization. Consider this as a newly opened restaurant, our first impression was not so good. Maybe one day we will come back and give it a second chance. read more

Great service, great ambience, and fantastic food! I had the Chasu Ramen, fried Gyoza, and spicy edamame. All of it was amazing. The best ramen I've had in TN. Easily top 3 for ramen all time read more

What a great place! We had several items and each was so very good. The whole staff was very professional and thorough. You won't be disappointed at all. The chili salad was the rockstar but bimbimbap, spam and egg sandwich, and kimbap were right up there as well. read more

Nothing fancy just good food. Loved Kimchi&Spam fried rice and their in house made ice cream was amazing. Good selection of Asian beers on hand too. read more

Walked in for dinner. Stood at the entrance of the restaurant where the sign says "wait to be seated". We waited over 15 minutes waiting to be seated and were not even acknowledged. Asked one of the chefs who is supposed to be seating us. He lets me know someone will get to me. I stand there a couple minutes more and walked out. 18 minutes in total, 0 seconds of general customer service courtesy. 10 thumbs down. Do better read more

We visited today and the hostess was extremely rude when we were nothing but nice and patient. They have zero customer service and don't care about patrons at all. Really disappointing place. Definitely don't visit here if you wanted to be treated well or with civility. read more

If you are ramen spoiled because you know how good ramen should taste and you are often disappointed by what you get around east TN, do yourself a favor and get some ramen here.

Koko is a fun new place in Kville. The food was fresh and delicious. I really enjoyed my meal there.

This place is amazing! Everything my family ordered was super yummy. We ordered bibimpap, karaage, and one of the kimbaps. Their menu has a little bit of everything. Good for groups of people who have differing diet preferences. Highly recommend! read more

Service was awesome, we even got a free saki with our meal. read more

Their food was out of this world. I had the Beef Bibimbap and the fusion of flavors was incredible.

I want to first by start saying that I found this place by chance. Needless to say it turned out to be one of the BEST hidden gems in Knoxville for Ramen. The atmosphere is very nice and quaint. The service was very good! They have a great menu choice and prices are reasonable and definitely worth your money! I ordered the appetizer Yakitori Chicken skewers with sweet chili sauce, very tender and great flavor! If you don't like spice I suggest the teriyaki. Then I ordered the Tonkotsu with Chashu ( pork belly) OMG!!! Fresh ingredients and sesoned to perfection! I couldn't eat it all because the portion was so big! Definitely took it home to eat later! My son ordered the Katsu with fried pork......yep that was great also! The pork was fried crisp and thin with rice served with a spring mix salad! Delicious! This is definitely my new eating spot! They also serve bowls and tacos at lunch! And if you drink beer they serve that too! read more
