Kiko Korean Fried Chicken — Restaurant in Nashville-Davidson

KIKO Fried Chicken is the first Korean fried chicken in Nashville I’ve ever had, and it was seriously good. The owner, a young Korean guy, was really friendly and clearly very entrepreneurial—it’s great to see someone building something like this.

We ordered to go, and everything was packed well. The chicken was crispy, flavorful, and the dipping sauces were stellar. Our favorite was probably the honey glaze, which was perfectly balanced—sweet, sticky, and addictive. The fries were also very good and crispy, though I think they could use just a little more seasoning. Not necessarily salt—maybe some kind of cheese powder or a few more flavor options.

It was a bit on the pricier side, but the quality made it worth it. I also appreciated that they offered gloves for eating, which is a nice touch. One small suggestion: it’d be great if customers waiting for takeout could have access to free water, since we were sitting and waiting for a bit.

Overall, really tasty food, great service, and a promising local spot. We’ll...

This is the most unique chicken in Nashville! Nowadays, you can find mid hot chicken on every corner. The chicken at KIKO is so much more enjoyable than all of the hot chicken bs.

The rice and cabbage slaw mixed make for a perfect bowl base for boneless wings, or you can go for some classic sweet potato fries. Overall, a killer locally owned chicken spot offering super unique flavors at a great price - what’s...

Just finished eating at this place. I was actually going to the Thai food place right next-door, but I saw Korean fried chicken and I’m a sucker for a good fried chicken no matter who makes it. Service was great. Food was even better. Atmosphere if you like little shops, you’ll enjoy it. It’s a small place not that many seats. But I’m sure with Uber DoorDash and all those apps they’ll make a lot of money or you could just come pick it up. But these wings are some of the best wings I ever had. Their teas are pretty good. The sweet potato fries were delicious. I need no sauce For nothing. It was all...
