Koko Chicken & BBQ — Restaurant in La Palma

Title: "A Culinary Gem in Cerritos!"

Review:

My experience at Koko Chicken and BBQ in Cerritos, California was nothing short of delightful. The moment you step inside, you're welcomed by the warm ambiance and friendly staff who are eager to make your dining experience memorable.

The menu is a captivating array of Korean BBQ and fried chicken dishes, each promising a unique taste of Korea. I opted for the BBQ sampler and was not disappointed. The meat was tender, flavorful, and grilled to perfection. Each bite was a taste sensation, transporting me to the bustling streets of Seoul.

The fried chicken was equally impressive. Crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and adorned with a glaze that was the perfect blend of sweet and spicy. The side dishes, including the kimchi and pickled radishes, were fresh and provided a nice contrast to the savory meats.

The portions are generous, ensuring a satisfying meal that is bound to please. The prices are reasonable, especially considering the high quality of food and the generous servings.

The service was exemplary. Our server was attentive, knowledgeable, and had a genuine enthusiasm for the cuisine. It was evident that the entire staff takes pride in providing an authentic Korean dining experience.

Koko Chicken and BBQ is a true culinary gem in Cerritos. It's the kind of place that instantly becomes your go-to spot for a comforting meal and a warm, welcoming atmosphere. I'm already looking forward to my next visit and exploring more of the delectable offerings on the menu.

Whether you're a long-time lover of Korean cuisine or a first-timer, Koko Chicken and BBQ is...

Short hand: its good, great food and somewhat normal prices ($16 per plate place) classic Korean fried chicken. Long hand: I wrote as I was getting things. (Sweet potatoes fries $7) Great value, it's a basket and more than enough for a single person. They're crunchy and chewy at the same time. Great with the ketchup (somewhat sweet). They are sweet, great fries. Ask for them extra crispy, you will not regret it. Free "salad" is really fresh shredded cabbage and some thousand Island topping. The 16oz Sapporo beer ($9) was nice, cold glass too. Waitress offered water before I could ask, so good service. Place has like me and another guest it is mid day Saturday, not gonna be busy. I picked my seat. I ordered the 12 piece wings ($18) sweet and sour. I'll report. The sweet and sour wings were super crunchy and hot, becareful if you're not good with hot foods. I would like for there to be some spice, there was none at all. Phenomenal flavor. There was also no flavor choice for spicy wings. I loved the wings. I wished they had orders if 6 maybe because once you get to the 8th wing they start to get cold and the last four wings are cold and bready. I enjoy them however. Fast service when I asked for water and the check. Will come back! Classic Korean style...

La Palma Koko Chicken is absolutely not recommended. I ordered fried chicken over the phone today because my kids can't eat spicy food, so I always request the sauce on the side. But when I got home, it turned out to be sauced spicy chicken. I took one bite, and it was way too spicy to eat. I called to report the mistake and asked if I could return it, and they reluctantly said it would take 20 minutes. I agreed and went back, but when I arrived, the food hadn’t even been prepared yet. On top of that, they didn’t admit their mistake and suggested that I must have ordered spicy chicken in the first place. They blamed me for their error instead of apologizing and acted dismissively the whole time. The attitude was just terrible. A single chicken costs $30 plus tax, and with this kind of service, it’s a complete waste of money. Honestly, the taste was nothing special either. I absolutely do not recommend La Palma...
