    Chicken Ramen with poached egg
    Jeanette C.

    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.

    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.

    Omg small spot but the food is amazing. The service was friendly. Group setting is good for 6 people but call in advance in case they are busy. Definitely recommend...

    Beef Bulgogi Bibimbap
    Jenn H.

    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!!

    Shrimp fried rice $18.57, was ok
    Terri M.

    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.

    Ube ice cream

    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.

    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.

My mom said Asia Kitchen is the best Chinese in the city now. Unfortunately if that is correct, then it makes me very sad. I have eaten at "Real" Chinese restaurants before and this is not close imo. I got Szechuan Beef...this is supposed to be a very spicy dish. My order was not spicy at all...not saying it was bland, but it didn't have the "kick" I was expecting. My mom shared a whole steamed fish with her friends. They did enjoy it, but it wasn't for me. I have decided to bump my rating up to four stars because of the wonton/egg drop soup. I didn't even realize this was a thing. We got one large serving and it was plenty for the table. Finally the reason i didn't give 5 stars was because of the table service. The others brought wine , but i ordered a Diet Coke when we were seated. Unfortunately it never arrived...our server acknowledged my order, but I guess she forgot during the dinner rush. I did have water so I didn't complain. Overall dinner was ok...it was very nice that we were allowed to take our time.

Asian Yummy in Knoxville is an absolute gem and easily one of my favorite dining experiences in the area. From the moment you walk in, everything feels thoughtful and welcoming. The first thing that stood out to me was the sparkling clean restaurant and the clean glassware and crisp, filtered water--a small detail that speaks volumes about how much care they put into the guest experience. The portion sizes are incredibly generous for the price, making it feel like a true value without sacrificing quality. Every dish I tried is satisfying, flavorful, and clearly prepared with pride. You leave full, happy, and already planning your next visit. What truly elevates Asian Yummy, though, is the exceptionally friendly service. The staff are warm, attentive, and genuinely kind, creating a relaxed and inviting atmosphere that makes you want to linger. You're treated like a valued guest, not just another table. Clean, affordable, delicious, and welcoming--Asian Yummy hits every mark. If you're in Knoxville and looking for a place that consistently delivers comfort, quality, and outstanding hospitality, this spot is an absolute must.

Now I…read morehave had chicken pho in many different states and restaurants and the chicken is never grilled or fried. It's always just cooked and only the white meat is served in big chunks never cut up into pieces. Here although it was still good, but it looked like it was fried lightly which changed the taste of the broth. Also, the noodles were different here. If I come back (distance) I'll only get sushi, unless they change the way they make chicken pho, because I love pho soup. Place is clean and staff friendly.

There are several nearby lots also pay-to-park but some may be free on weekends. Kaizen appears to me to be more akin to an Izakaya than a noodle hosue, where you basically go for drinks and they supply some food to keep things going - it has a more expansive menu than an Izakaya (which tends to be yakitori and sushi) - Kaizen's menu features several noodle dishes which all looked very interesting. We started with the appetizers and ordered some mixed steamed buns and soup. All of the buns that I tried I liked quite a bit - some strong, distinctive flavors. For an entree I ordered the Koji-Cured Ribeye medium-rare - 12 oz sliced ribeye, gai lan, broad bean paste, steamed rice. The steak was cooked perfectly. The service was exceptional - the next night we tried Fin-Two Japanese Ale House across the street - this restaurant was my preference - the flavors seemed more authentic and the quality of the dishes better in my opinion.
