    The table setting
    Rosie C.

    Koko Wings - Upper West Side (106th St) Stumbled upon this tiny, cozy spot today while wandering on 106th & Broadway. First time inside, and I loved it! The staff was super friendly--she even brought me soup and water while I waited. The miso was perfect! Ordered the lunch special--6 wings and rice--and also took home 14 wings (drumettes and flats). The wings? Crispy, salty, and so good I dipped them in ranch for the first time ever--game changer. The inside was tender, and the crispy exterior was . The rice was warm and fluffy, and the dark chopsticks were a cool touch. Definitely coming back to try their spicy hot barbecue! Great solo lunch spot--highly recommend. 5 stars from me!

    Chicken Strips with Soy/Garlic Sauce and Brown Rice    So delicious!
    Ray M.

    I needed to grab some lunch and so I figured why not walking in the neighborhood over to Koko wings. I really enjoy Korean fried chicken and so I ordered the chicken strips with soy and garlic sauce. I must say that it was so delicious. The chicken was perfectly fried. Not all hard and petrified.. And the flavor was amazing. I had that along with some brown rice. The staff was very nice, kind and accommodating. As far as the ambience, it's a small eatery with about five or six tables. They have some cool K-pop playing in the background at a comfortable level. When I think of Korean fried chicken, I think of K-Town downtown in Manhattan. But I am so glad that we have this great option on the Upper West Side . I no longer have to go downtown for my KFC! So if you're looking for some great Korean fried chicken on the Upper West Side, this is your go to spot! Thank me later Have a great one y'all ! -Ray

    Miso Soup
    Aparna R.

    A standard hole in the wall fried chicken joint. It's good for students and people looking to grab a quick bite. The staff were kind but seemed to forget about our presence a few times while we were there. Everything at the restaurant was a bit sticky (menus, floors, tables, etc.), but perhaps part of this was because we took over another party's table before someone was able to step in and clean the area. The food itself was alright. The soy garlic sauce was sweet but not overly sweet. The spicy chicken wasn't very spicy but still enjoyable. The rice that I got as a side was the perfect consistency--sticky and not dry. The parmesan fries were disappointing; they were far too salty and should likely have been served with ketchup. We were given bowls of miso soup on the side--loved the soup. I may come back here again, but I wouldn't recommend the place to anyone looking for a standout fried chicken place.

    The best wings known to man! I'm a full supporter of Kiko wings! I am so glad to had been introduced to this restaurant and I look forward to continuing to get my wings from here!

    Wing or 2

    Amazing wings, cheap pints. Can't get any better, it's really spicy though I'm dying wowow

    Half soy and half original strips
    Briyah P.

    Holy crap. This place is delicious. I've never had better fried chicken. I like to get half soy and half original and I like the strips because you don't deal with bones. It came with a small miso soup and a side. I got the kimchi coleslaw which is 10/10. Don't miss out on that. The radish is also good. The mango sauce is bomb. And the price is so fair. Thank you koko wings for feeding me so well! I love you.

    3/5 Pros: Very very sweet service. The man that took our order was really attentive and they were also super busy with to go orders. Cone; The food was a little bit salty. The stone hot bibimbap was not burnt on the bottom which is really the point of having a stone hot bibimbap. was disappointed w that. The meat in this was also kind of chewy which I didn't love The seafood pancake was really really crispy on the bottom, the flavor was kind of lacking. The japchae was very oily as well. Good service decent korean food. Kind of meant for a fast eat to fill up your stomach!

    kimchi coleslaw
    Praneetha I.

    Came here on a rainy day...the restaurant is very quaint and cozy! Honestly, I think this place is underrated when it comes to Korean Fried Chicken. We ordered the half and half combo with soy garlic and hot and spicy (some wings/some drumsticks). The crunch factor was unreal and the soy garlic sauce was heavenly for me (just wished there was a little more sauce on the wings). The hot and spicy was also good but be ready for some real spice. The wings were not greasy at all which I really appreciated. Definitely do NOT forget to get the kimchi coleslaw - it was perfection! Overall, it was not the best fried chicken I've had in NYC, but definitely a good one time visit!

    Vegetable Soon Tofu Soup
    Viki H.

    Oh my. Im writing this review as im eating the food I just got. (Takeout.) I'm so so disappointed. This place is good for wings and that's it. Every time I've ordered other actual dishes, I've had negative experiences. Today I gave it a try again since it's been awhile and ordered tofu stew alongside my chicken combo which i normally order. I rarely say this about places using extreme words but this is just disgusting. The soup is watery, has no flavor and the vegetables are nearly raw! They literally just threw everything in here carelessly. This is offensive to be listed as a Korean food. My hope is that people try this place and NOT assume this is what Korean food is supposed to taste like. I think they need to take these less than mediocre dishes off their menu and just focus on the wings. The wings are flavorful and good, although over the years I've noticed the meat sizes have gotten significantly smaller.... Not sure if I'll order here again.

    Soju & wings ~ perfect combination

    I like this korean chicken spot after walking in the neighborhood or spending time in the park. Usually not crowded, good wings, good service & reasonable priced. A good option when craving korean food in Morningside heights

    2 lunch specials with kimchi coleslaw $13/each (Aug 2022)
    Sia B.

    Ordered 2 lunch specials ($13 each), one with 3 drumsticks (original), and the other 6 wings (spicy) with kimchi coleslaw. Considering that this was a lunch special, it felt really expensive for the amount of food we received (legit sad/disappointed after opening the takeout boxes). We really enjoyed the chicken though. The spicy sauce wasn't that spicy and had a sweetness to it. I prefered the original as it had a nice amount of saltiness. The kimchi coleslaw was a miss as the mayo really overpowered the whole thing. Tldr: Good chicken but expensive.

The effortless tranquility encourages you to slow down, enjoy the food, and get away from the everyday, hubbub. Their menu leans into fusion dishes with a nod to some of the classic home-style classics. Everything is presented with a refined, elevated touch. Here's what we ordered: ~ Tako Wasabi - 5/5 stars A fiery delight. This appetizer feartures chopped raw octopus marinated in wasabi. It has a lively zest from the wasabi and is topped with tobiko, which adds a pleasant contrast in texture. ~ Honey Makgeolli - 4/5 stars A traditional fermented Korean beverage that is light and pairs brilliantly with your meal. It is a cloudy alcholoic drink served in a metal teapot, and surprisingly, there is much more in that teapot than you would expect. It easily provides six to eight generous pours. The flavor is subtly sweet with a pleasant tang. ~ Temaki Set - 4/5 stars You can order a set of three by choosing from selections 1-17, or you can order a la carte at the listed prices. Some of the temaki stood out more than others. Our two sets included marinated salmon, bluefin tuna, spicy yellowtail, spicy bluefin, and two dynamite temaki. ~ Spicky Pork Ssam Set - 5/5 stars Truly another standout entree that even surpassed my beloved grilled BBQ bossam. You received a generous basket of assorte greens, including romaine, kale, perilla leaves, dandelion leaves, nappa cabbage, and more. It is well worth the price and makes for a fun, interactive dining experience with your family and friends. There is also various banchan offered and this time, they were beyond kind enough to offer refills. The last time we were here, we ordered just as much food and they stated they normally did not offer refills, which I thought was very odd. With its casual bougie aesthetics, this spot has quickly become one of my favorite eateries in Fort Lee-lee, It beautifully blends Korean, Japanese, and American flavors in a way that feels both comforting and elevated. Needless to say, we will be back!

The inside is a bit small at the front, although there was more space toward the back for larger parties. There can be a wait, so try to get a reservation if possible. When we came for dinner, the lights were dimmed so it gave off a very elegant and intimate vibe. Our server was friendly and our food came out in a timely manner. My friends and I got the Spicy Raw Marinated Crab, Kimchi Pancake, Galbi, and Spicy Grilled Pork Japchae. I LOVED the Kimchi Pancake! Probably the best one I have ever had. It was so crunchy, tasty, and filled with kimchi. I find that some places skimp out on the kimchi and add a lot of onions instead, but not here. The poached egg on top also served its purpose well and added a great flavor to the pancake. I really liked the Galbi too. It tasted like a high quality of meat and it was super tender. My only wish is that I wanted it to have more of a char, but not a big deal. I tried a bit of the Spicy Grilled Pork Japchae and I was pleasantly surprised at the taste. I enjoyed the japchae and grilled pork more than I thought I would. My friend thought the dish tasted a bit Vietnamese, but I think it was because of the toppings inside? While I did not try the Spicy Raw Marinated Crab, my friends really liked it. We also got complimentary barchan which was amazing! I love their steamed egg and kimchi. This was by far my best meal in NYC. I loved all the food I ate, which is surprising because Korean food is not one of my favorite cuisines. The banchan was especially great too. I would definitely come back here!

One helpful tip: if you're making a reservation, be sure to double-check that you're going to the correct location. There's another restaurant with the exact same name directly across the street, so it can be a little confusing. Overall, I would definitely recommend giving this place a try!

We made a reservation, which I'd recommend especially on a weekend, and got seated right away with no wait. The set also came with vanilla ice cream at the end.

Banchans were refreshed and refilled - sometimes without being asked. We were very well taken care of. The pancake was good as well as the tartare. HIghlight was definitely the meat and banchans though. We all got ice cream at the end and birthday boy even got a candle in his with some sprinkles. Super cute and very nice of them.
