Tucked away amongst a myriad of fish and chip shops in a small side street, this Takeaway is a certified hidden gem. The menu may look fairly small but I'd call it refined. Where many Takeaway serve too many dishes to count that end up all tasting either the same or try to be a jack of all trades but end up mastering none, Koko provides a greatest hits of Korean Takeaway food, offering a small but varied and distinct range of dishes that are all excellent. The service was speedy and very friendly and the portion sizes are very respectable. The bibimbap is hearty and flavoursome, I had the pork and it was tender and tasty. The dumplings were also impressive, crispy yet with moist interior. What stole the show for me was the spicy fried chicken, the sauce coating the outside was outstanding, sweet and tastefully spiced. The chicken is coated in a generous amount of sauce but the chickens coating is still very crispy, with the meat itself moist and juicy. Very very impressive Takeaway and would recommend to anyone...
Read moreAs a local of Whitby and one who works up the street from koko chicken I often eat from the joint for its convenience but there’s more to it than that. The owners are wonderful. The food is relatively inexpensive. The meat is of the best quality expertly breaded, succulent and covered in a tangy delicious stick sauce with fresh white rice. At 8 pounds and 30 pence it is the best food I have ever eaten for under 10 pounds. Koko chicken has set a high bar for Whitby street food and I believe that it cannot be topped. The humble pie and mash team looks forward to eating from koko chicken for what we hope to be a long future for their business. Perhaps if they offered boneless chicken it would be a slight convenience for those who simply don’t have time to sit down and eat but besides that I cannot find a flaw of koko chicken....
Read moreThe plan was to eat fish and chips while sitting at the pier enjoying the view. However, when I walked pass this place I thought well .. I can always have fish & chip at the seaside anywhere in the UK but not an authentic korean food. I didn't regret my decision at all. The place is very small and clean, you might need to wait outside while your order is being prepared, that would give a space for other customers to come inside and place their orders. The lady serving us is very lovely. We ordered spicy beef bibimbap, a healthy choice and very tasty one! They take payment by card which is great. I would definitely go back to this place next time I am in Whitby. Highly...
