KKO – KKO Place

My chicken wings were so delicious and it came with fun dipping sauces! I bought a full order and shared it with a friend. Also had the fried dumplings that were equally delicious. I’ll be back!

I am never going to eat fried chicken elsewhere again. Been there twice and the lady who runs the restaurant remembered our family already. I love this place and the seatings have a lot of privacy.

Really good atmosphere and a great place to come for Korean style food… they have draft beer, so that is a plus… Great service and great food… the soju you hurt was awesome as well… I think my first experience drinking that

Fried chicken is fantastic so delicious. Flaws are weird hours or operation and language barrier besides that amazing especially after a few drinks.

By far the worst service I have had in the area. Or I should say lack of service. The woman gave me a dirty look when I walked in and my guess was because the rest of my family is Korean and I am not. She spoke to all of them but not me. We didn’t get half our food our drinks even though we asked several times. The one chicken was good, that that is it. We didn’t even get a refill!

I wasn’t as impressed as everyone else. The chicken was cooked perfect. Wasn’t blown away with flavor though. Fried rice Kim chi was ok. I did like there fried won tons and hot and sour soup. The soup was different. A little bit to expensive for what it is

the food was delicious & authentic.
I grew up eating Korean food, my mom is from Seoul & you can tell with the food served here it is made with Korean love.
it was our first time, we had beef & pork bulgogi, both very good.
next time I will get the chop chae
they have a great fried rice selection.
if you like good Korean food, this place will blow your mind.

Our favorite place in Tacoma! fried chicken + Kpop shows! The best part is definitely the best Owners ever!

We came here because we saw how highly recommended it was. The chicken is delicious. We sat in our own tucked in booth that had k-​pop playing. It was a very new experience and I loved it. Service was great. We tried 2 different type of fried chicken and the kimchi fried rice. Yuuum!

Open late, major plus for those who work in restaurants. They have kimchi fried rice, big yay!!! Kimchi soup is good too. My first visit, won’t be my last tho.

One of the best Korean style fried chicken place in S. Tacoma!
Love their sweet/​sour spicy chicken.
People are nice and foods are delicious!
Highly recommend this place for the late night meal!:)

Was craving fried chicken wings and was delighted to find this place open late. It is a small restaurant and seems kind of cramped when you go in. I ordered my food to go and opted to wait outside since I felt like Andre the Giant in the small space that was the front counter. The cook was even kind enough to bring out our order. The hostess was nice but I can’t speak on the service since I had my food to go. The chicken was nice and crispy as I like it and pretty tasty. I recommend this place for those looking for late night munchies and want something other than the typical fast food deal.

Been looking for fried chicken for awhile. Haven’t had any since I moved away from New Jersey. Did some research and found this place. After reading reviews i decided to give it a try. First of all the chicken oil is old and dark. Very greasy and too salty. Taste and look like the chicken wings you get from the bowling alley. For 18 $ it should be a lot cleaner or maybe cooked in olive oil. Wings came with relish and it wasn’t fresh. It’s suppose to have that crisp fresh taste. I know a lot about fried chicken and this was the worst I’ve had. Can’t believe people actually spend 18 $ and keep coming back. Thanks for wasting my money and time…

Thank you to whoever posted that rabukki pic because that is exactly what I wanted after a weekend of eating mostly PB sandwiches and beef jerky while exploring the Olympic National Park. I have never had rabukki before but it is straight forward: a shallow dish of dukbukki with ramen and fishcakes. It was perfectly thick, sweet, spicy, salty, and tangy. Definitely my favorite of what we ordered, though a tad on the pricey side at $ 13.99.
We also ordered the half size of «special» fried chicken, which was swimming in sauce that reminded me of General Tso’s. The breading was a little crispy but mostly soggy from the sauce. The chicken (pieces of small drums and small flats) had a moderate heat, but I wish we had gone for regular fried chicken.
Lastly, we ordered spicy beef stew, which was plain and nothing special. It was loaded with bean sprouts, so I didn’t even make it through one small serving.
On a more positive note, the lady who served us was nice. I also enjoyed sitting in our booth with a DVD of a Kpop concert playing on the flat screen on the wall. And as many people have mentioned, the fried eggs on the skillet are a unique and tasty bonus.
I’m not inclined to return though, not just because of the distance from where we live, but I just wasn’t thrilled with the food and value. It’s worth a try if you’re in the area and curious about the Unilocal ratings. But for Korean fried chicken, I would choose Stone in Redmond.

I’ve been to KKO KKO place multiple times… with family and friends. They all, ALL, loved it. Fried chicken here can’t be beat — enough said. Moving onto their soup… I had it yesterday without expecting much thinking their main focus must be fried chicken. Plus the soup was beef. No, wrong. It was delicious. Plenty of flavor with vegetables and tender beef! Some soup are quite pricey though.
Fried rice… have tried kimchi (of couse) and beef. Although kimchi is still my favorite (my suggestion is to hold your fried egg until kimchi fried rice shows up, then put the egg on top of the rice. Really good), beef one wasn’t bad at all. I felt it was a bit greasy but that’s their style.
Sometimes they bring seaweed. This usually drives children nuts. They won’t stop eating. And the kind lady who is there all the time keeps bringing. This is a kid friendly place.
You should sit in one of those tables with TV in front. They can turn it on for K-​Pop shows! That usually amazes my American friends.

If you are looking for yangnyum chicken this is the place to go. I lived in Daegu, South Korea for a year and got delivery chicken often. I fell in love with it and this is the only place that has it how it is meant to be. It’s hard to find, but worth looking for!

The food is really good! My favorite are the spicy noodle rice cake (rabukki), the spicy marinated chicken, and the spicy beef soup. The service isn’t the greatest, but the food does make up for it.

Price goes up really quick first of all and second of all, I’ve ordered fried chicken and the grease they used for the chicken was tooooooo old. it gave me severe stomachache!!! You can easily tell when people use old grease over and over again, food gets saltier and has way darker color than usual. Plus, you can taste the nasty old grease!!! Eeewwww!!!
The pickled radish was spoiled. I know what’s spoiled and what’s pickled. It tasted completely rotten. Seriously.
Overall, this place is no longer good. I decided not to come back again. No recommendation for this place.

First time here after reading the reviews. I gotta give it up, they have amazing chicken. I ordered the whole fried chicken and I have to say it has been the best I’ve ever had
Its definitely a place to go for late night munchies. its pricey, but dear god its well worth every penny

Good lord, why haven’t I been here sooner? My bf and I were headed down to Olympia for the holidays and were in need to have a late dinner (9 pm ish) and craving Korean food. So where to go?
Cham’s? Closed.
Gangnam BBQ? Nope, closed.
Seoul Restaurant? Closed.
Of course, there are plenty of Korean restaurants in the area and we could have just randomly drove to one. Luckily, my bf remembered there was a place that served late night Korean fried chicken. So we went to our trusty Unilocal app and it led us to KKO-​KKO Place. Oh haay!
The lady running the place was extremely welcoming. We decided to try a half order of the special fried chicken and a half order of the fried chicken. I thought I already found the best fried chicken in WA but this place proved me wrong! Both chickens were juicy with crispy skin. Even with the special fried chicken, the skin was still crispy with the sauce coated over it. Oh and don’t get me started on those fried eggs they serve… they remind me of the Spanish fried eggs my Lola used to cook me but even better (sorry Lola!). I love how the edges of the eggs are brown and crispy while the yolk was perfectly runny. You really can’t beat fried eggs and Korean fried chicken as the perfect late night dinner.
I need to come back here. I still have dreams of their fried chicken. *drool*
