Their menu is divided into three main categories \u2013 Korean Fried Chicken, Korean Street Food, and Dosirak (Korean lunch box) \u2013 each narrating a story about the dining setting and customs of Korea. It’s for<\/strong> foodies looking for new and unique Korean dishes. It’s not<\/strong> for people looking for grilled Korean BBQ. We recommend<\/strong> the Chicken Cheese Fondue, Snow Chicken Cheese, and Galbi Jim Dosirak. Our insider tip<\/strong> is the place is quite small and may get full quickly on peak hours, so make sure to book a table ahead of time. Fun Fact: <\/strong>Kko Kko was named after the sound that a chicken makes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
