Opinions de Kariokos Chicken Merced
Food is made fresh and as well healthy. Good intentions by owner
I ordered to go here. The food is amazing and the owner is really friendly
food was very good and well seasoned
Service is amazing same with the food. Just became a new regular.
Best fried chicken hands down! 10/10 Nice friendly management
Great customer service, very attentive staff and food was great!
Very good fried chicken. The price is a bit expensive.
By far some of the best wings I’ve had, they are super crispy, I got the honey bee one and it was my favorite flavor. They are pricey but the wings are definitely better then wing stop and Buffalo Wild Wings.
Our favorite KFC (Korean Fried Chicken) ever! We come here at least once a week and still don't have photos of the food because I dig right in once it gets to our table. Really great service and food selections!
Best Korean fried chicken I have had. Qe hot the original whole chicken, waffle fries, and cheese sticks. The chicken is super juicy and super crunchy. The sweet and spicy sauce is so good!!!
The food was awesome, customer service was spot on, and the atmosphere was phenomenal. The cashier guy, Tre, was super awesome. He made me feel welcome as I waited for my meal.
Juicy, super crispy and delicious Korean fried chicken. So happy that this place opened up so close to us serving quality food. Great service. Thank you!
the employees at kokio are so kind and welcoming. they always remember me and make my stay enjoyable. the food is freshly made as well!
Great chicken wings that are extra crispy. I had the garlic and crunch hot flavors. The onion rings are also fantastic and highly recommend.
Customer service is so welcoming the honey bee wings are crispy and sweet my family loved it we will be going back to try different flavors next time I want to try spicy chicken
Excellent wings and great service .. Drove an hour to here and it was worth it .. The new owners were very friendly and offered me a sample which was so sweet .. I appreciate y’all kindness and I wish you all the best :) ..
Food was great! I got the chicken sandwich with the sweet and spicy sauce and had to order one to go!
Excellent customer service! Wonderful choices! Fair pricing! Great for a family meal, a small gathering, or a big party!
One of the best Korean fried chicken around Cinco Ranch area. Hard to beat and very close to home
Great service friendly staff, relatively fast cook time, and outstanding chicken. Definitely my new go to chicken place.
We love Korean fried chicken and soo happy this place opened up west of 99. Chicken is well flavored, krispy and fries are the best
Just like korean fried chicken. Moist and crispy.
Crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside. Really good korean chicken wings. Give it a shot if you're ever in the area
Korean Fried Chicken at it's best! Great service and and delicious food. 아주 맛있는!!
Amazing! The chicken was great, and the attention was awesome too. We loved it! So crispy
Ppl complained the employees weren’t Korean, but coming from a halfy, it tasted better than the other Korean fried chicken restaurants in the area. Chicken tasted fresh, sauce was done right, it was crispy and not greasy. Just had to wait 30+ min (we ordered before closing on Fri night so maybe that’s why). I would highly recommend for take out. Customer service was superb. Will return to try more.
My family has gotten to go here a few times. Service is great, very nice people and food has been great. Personally I recommend the chicken sandwich but my kids swear by the strips. You got to try this and support this local business. They don’t make anything until it’s ordered so it’s fresh and hot but can take a little while to get your order. It’s worth it.
They don’t start it until you order so there is a wait but it is well worth it! My new go to place for fried chicken! The original and “spicy crispy” are my favorites. Price and taste is right. Definitely try the sauces too.
I love this place! Their garlic wings are the most delicious wings you can get anywhere. We opted for Kokio wings for the super bowl this year after spending over an hour waiting for wings at Wingstop during last year’s super bowl. I placed my order over the phone, and it was quiet and easy. They call you when your food is ready. I walked right in and grabbed my food, in and out in less than 2 minutes. The staff is super friendly and attentive, and the food is delicious. Couldn’t ask for a better chicken stop! Absolutely worth every penny!
Guys we chose to come here on a whim after some grocery shopping at HEB. This is truly the best fried chicken I’ve ever tasted. It’s not greasy, it’s crispy, and the chicken is incredibly moist. The fries were also the perfect amount of crisp. Portion sizes on point as well. This is our new favourite spot for fried chicken. We will be ordering our DoorDash from here from now on.
Me and my family have been eating kokio for over 2 years by now it is so good and the customer service is great the best chicken ever is extra spicy it is more to the expensive side but it’s very worth it
One of the best fried chicken I’ve had. Had an issue with my order but the owner quickly fixed it and hooked us up. Will be returning and recommending to friends and family.
The food quality and taste is great. The staff are really friendly. It might be a little more expensive than other fast foods, but the quality is not the same as a fast food place, it is much better. Don’t forget to try the waffle fries. .
If someone were to ask me what my favorite restaurant was, I'd say Kokios. First of all the sauce is to die for. Genuinely I would buy the house sauce by the pound. The fries are so obviously perfection, better than Chick-fil-a, my personal fav is the waffle fries but the regular is just as good. About the chicken, this place has the BEST Korean fried chicken i have EVER tasted. Furthermore, for the quantity of food, id say the price is normal especially considering the quality of the chicken and every other menu item is sensational. The staff here is phenomenal and the environment is so kind and genuine. The sweet staff really makes this place special. With Uber-eats, door-dash, delivery, pickup, AND dine-in, this place really caters to all, 10/10 I would recommend this to anyone.
I recently had the pleasure of trying the Korean fried chicken from this gem. To put it simply, it was an absolute delight from start to finish. It is simply outstanding. Fresh, sizable pieces with a delicious sauce that strikes the perfect balance of sweet and spicy. Plus, the price is unbeatable for the quality you get. Highly recommend!
Me and my boyfriend are here a little under a week ago, and the food was amazing!! I got the original crispy drumsticks , and he got the spicy chicken tenders. The drumsticks were amazing, the meat itself was juicy and tender while the skin was crispy and flavorful. The wait was around 15 minutes, maybe a bit longer, but I do believe that they were extremely busy with online orders, and the employee working the register came out and checked on us and informed us of the wait time, so it didn’t really bother us! But the atmosphere is a bit lacking, which definitely didn’t deter us from eating there at all, it was just a tad bit disappointing 😞 but overall the experience was very positive, and we will be back for more!
I love chicken. A little too much. This place has only worsened my chicken addiction. I was shocked to find Korean fried chicken in the heart of Cinco Ranch - I've been to several other places, but this one... this is it. *chef's kiss I just discovered this scrumptious place two weeks ago, and I've already ordered more than four times. I definitely don't think I'll fit into my favorite Christmas sweater this year. Location is easy to find with ample amount of parking shared in a plaza. Traffic isn't bad, but I would avoid school hours since it's located near a junior high and high school. The restaurant is small with lots of space and a good amount of seating. Customer service is amazing here, and the owners were very friendly and welcoming. The original chicken is my favorite. It has a slight spicy-mild taste to it, with just an incredible amount of crunch. The chicken isn't overpowered by an insane amount of skin either - it's a perfect ratio. Honey-bee is just as delicious! It's crunchy with sticky sauce that is sweet with just a hint of spice to it as well. This was a big hit with my kids. Honey rice cake tastes similar to honey bee without the spice, and makes the perfect appetizer. The rice cakes were soft and chewy, and topped off well with the boneless chicken. Waffle fries are average, but they went great with the chicken. Really crispy and not too salty. The spicy rice cake was my least favorite, but still very good! It's different from what I anticipated - it's more of a soupy, stew-ish like dish. It wasn't overwhelmingly spicy, and it had a great amount of rice cake, fish cakes, and some veggies. Overall, the chicken is phenomenal! Crunchy and juicy, cooked to perfection every time. Out of all the Korean fried chicken places I've visited here in Houston, this is my number one, go to spot!
I was just driving by and came here for lunch. What a gem this place is. Got the 3 drumstick combination plate with Cajun sauce. I was wondering why the food was taking so long but when I saw the giant drumsticks I understood why (they have to cook thoroughly for a while). The sauce was delicious and the breading was super crunchy. The meat was really juicy and the fries were plentiful. 10/10 recommend!
They have the best chicken! It is very crispy, chewy, and yummy! I love their sauces! They give you enough portions to make you full. Their fries and waffle fries are very very crispy, even few hours later still crispy like the new one. I think they have most yummy foods in Katy area.
I tried many Korean Fried Chicken restaurants in Houston area and this new place in Cinco Ranch serves the best KFC in town. The batter was thin and crispy, seasoning/sauce was just right! I also had honey rice cake & chicken(boneless) which was so delicious! I wish they could have it as larger size! Thank you for extra pickled radish! We are coming back soon!
I recently had the pleasure of visiting this new spot in town and trying the teriyaki chicken bowl, and let me tell you, it was an absolute delight! Great flavor from the teriyaki sauce, with the freshness of the veggies left me with a satisfying light lunch. The owner, Vic, was welcoming and sold me on the garlic wings for next time. I will definitely be back!
The best chicken and waffle fries, hands down! A go to for our family gatherings given the variety of chicken options. Tonight? Dinner for one: buffalo wings and waffle fries. Love their teriyaki chicken bowls too!
High quality chicken. Great crisp and taste, fries are a great side. Only real downside is the slaw, but it feels more like a palate cleanser rather than a full side. Only thing I'll do next time is order ahead first.
I ordered a 5 piece original drumsticks. 3 will fill you up. Absolutely incredible. Perfect crisp and juicy.
Extremely good food and service the people serving us were extremely nice and the food was high quality and came hot and tasted great.

Me and my brothers always loved coming here. We'd get the spicy/sweet chicken wings and waffle fries. The employees were super kind to us and even offered us drinks whenever we would wait for our food. Was very sad to see the lock-out notice on their door when we tried coming today. Although we did notice a lack of business, we weren't expecting them to close given the quality of food. UPDATE: 11/28 - It appears that we were just closed for the weekend and are back in business as mentioned by the owner below! Will definitely be going back again to take up on their offer!
Massive drumsticks, delicious sauces. I had extra spicy and honey bee. Extra spicy was a perfect heat level, not unbearable and had plenty of flavor. The honey was perfect with the waffle fries. The chicken sandwich was a hit as well. All the meat was very juicy and cooked to order.

Delicious food, we got wings with Honey Bee sauce and it is awesome! 4 starts cause it was a little on the pricey side for what it is.
Crunchy and crispy, but I can’t believe that they don't have honey garlic soy flavor.
Incredible fried chicken. If you are hungry, call ahead as the orders are 100% fresh and take a while. No dinner plates as the otders come out boxed, use plastic forks and a minimal allowance of napkins. That's the only drawbacks. Seriously, it's great fried chicken.
I had the 5 Pc drumstick. They were very crispy and juicy. Was not very busy when I visited them for a late lunch. It did take a while for the food to come out but that was understandable. The sauce tastes great too. Will def go back.
The food was delicious! The service was good, and friendly. The chicken was crunchy, and juicy as can be. Every thing was made very fresh.
Kokio Chicken was a wonderful surprise for us here in Cinco Ranch. The Korean chicken wings, drumsticks, and spicy rice cakes were all delicious and very filling. The chicken pieces are pretty big. If you order in the restaurant, it may take a while for the food to come out, so I recommend calling in your orders.
We tried the honey bee and the sweet and spicy combination wing platter. Flavor was really good but wish the wings were crunchier like Korean fried chicken I’m used to eating. The server who took our order was really friendly. French fries in the combo were ok.

Service was really slow, it’s not authentic Korean fried chicken
Long wait for our food. Was told 15 min, but waited 40 min. Ordered food to go. Came in an opened box. The box can close, its just that the box was too small compared to the amount of food it held.
Chicken was crispy and recommend to go with honey bee and hot wings. Most times the orders were fresh, but at one time chicken meat was old and smelly.
Food was just OK. Priced somewhat higher than typical wing joints. Probably will pass next time.
If you r expecting Korean style sweet and spicy, this is not the right place. Their sweet and spicy tastes like spicy barbecue flavor. And, also plate menu includes coleslaw, not a salad. However, their chicken quality was pretty good and garlic chicken was great! I was a little disappointed about menu description and service quality.
Not sure if you can call this Korean chicken. Ordered sweet and spicy but tasted like burnt BBQ. The honey bee was really good and probably my favorite. 2nd best was the garlic chicken. The drumsticks were huge - wasn’t expecting that. I didn’t care for the onion rings - had to much batter.
It was interesting but not to my taste. I got a box with three drumsticks, French fries, and coleslaw. The drumsticks were incredibly huge. The coleslaw was in a tiny cup that gave two small bites. The takeout box was strange. You couldn't close it so as a result, by the time I got home the French fries were stone cold. There was far too much sauce on the drumsticks so that it was impossible to eat them without making a mess and the sauce was way too overpowering. I think that I will just go to Popeyes next time I get a hankering for fried chicken.
Seriously the best fried chicken ever, provided you have 45 minutes to wait for it. Honestly, I almost just left to go get a burger after 45 minutes of waiting. Once you get it, however, the chicken is spicy, crispy, tender. I just wish I lived closer.
This place used to be amazing, food wise, service wise, and timeliness wise. After changing to new management, their food is still solid, but it always takes forever. Today I called at 530pm to have my food ready by 720pm. When I got there at 720, they told me it was going to take another 10 minutes for the other portion of the food. Aka, the portion that is already done is sitting there getting cold (sandwiches and fries were lukewarm already). I finally got my food at 735pm, so I wish they would’ve made the food at the same time, by 720 as I requested. The people working there are very nice, and as I stated the food is still solid. But the kitchen needs major training and be timely due to the nature of fried chicken.
This place used to be top-notch, but I believe they changed owners, and ever since then, the food quality has gone downhill. The service is much slower and they overcharge for the quantity of food you get. It’s not authentic Korean chicken anymore.
Chicken was neither spicy or sweet, ttokboki tasted atypical and fries were soggy. Coleslaw is not properly flavored and not cut properly.
Hmmm. This place is new and the staffs are nice, but the price is very high for what you get. Not so much of special flavors and quantities are so less. I'd rather go with BW3, Wingstop, BBQ chicken like that.
So slow. Order online says ready in 20min but then took like 50min having to sit and waited. Half of the order was cold by the time the rest was ready.
I ordered the Honey rice cake and chicken ($10). The portion size was pretty small and it tasted below average. The order took 15 mins (some other reviews have reported long wait times). I would not be back.
My first platter of food came after an hour of waiting in an empty restaurant. It was 10 piece wings and it good but no food is worth waiting an hour in an empty restaurant. Then the teriyaki chicken bowl was served some 10 minutes later and the rice was plain, and the chicken wasn’t salted right. I also ordered the spicy rice cakes and they served me a bowl with only enough food to cover the bottom. Not enough food at all for the money. It is supposed to be tteokbokki but there wasn’t any gochujang or gochgaru. All the other reviews are raving abt this place so idk what happened today😭
This was my 1st visit. The customer service while placing my order, and updates on the status of my order was great. However, the food was a BIG disappointment. It was NOT Korean fried chicken. The double fried, extra crispy crunch, which is unique to Korean fried chicken, was definitely absent. This was more to the tone of regular Popeye's fried chicken. I ordered 10 wings, which were prepared fresh, and the the flavors (Garlic and Crispy Spicy) were OK. It's not terrible chicken, but I wouldn't call it Korean fried chicken.

Ordered takeout, went to pick up after 30 minutes still had to wait an hour and a half for the food.
Highly disappointed. I made an online order and when I came to pick it up, they told me they haven't even started making the food. Mind you the wait time to pick up was 20 minutes, so I had to wait another half an hour just for them to finish making the food . They also said that they could not make one of the items I ordered. So disappointed. I waited an hour just to receive half of my order and the food wasn't even worth the wait .
Simple, Spent $50 and never got my food. I’m willing to bet another $50 that this place will be closed in 6months. They just don’t get it
Looking at the other reviews and seeing how the owner responded if someone has not good positive feedback, I would rather not say anything because it's pointless.
The flavor is not the same. It was bland. New management made this place no longer worth it unfortunately.
I came in for my first time to the place to try their food. The menu and pictures online make the food look good. I ordered 10 pcs, waffle fries, a combo wings plate, and a rice cake. All to go. I was told my order was large, so it would take some minutes for approximately 35 minutes. I thought it was fair time to give my order. However, I waited over 1 hour and a half. As I was waiting, the guest that came in after me got their food. They ordered multiple stuff, and it was coming out in a decent time. However, I kept being told my food was almost done, a few more mins, and coming out now....as I still waited. I wasn't the only one. Another person was waiting on their food and got irritated and asked about his food too. Again, we both waited (not sure how long he has been waiting, but he had an order before me). I was ready to leave and probably would have if I didn't spend as much money I did for the food. Some of the food was done, but not all. as the staff had to go back and forth trying to figure out what was supposed to go into what. Luckily, the guy before got his food. As I still waited for almost 2 hours. I asked for a refund after still not having my food ready. When I was told a refund couldn't be given because the food was done. I was told by staff that they were updating me. However, I was only being told "a few more mins," "it's coming," etc. I told them they had people come in after me get food, and I was told they ordered online. However, I watched them order from the menu asking questions about food. They even addressed me telling me, "Im sorry I feel bad for you, especially because we came after you." All I heard was excuses and no reasonable answer as to why my food took almost 2 hrs . I was offered a discount if I came back and had a better experience. I was told that it normally doesn't take as long as it did. I was finally given my food and left. At this point, I don't even want to eat the food. I will not be coming back. Take my experience as a cautionary tale not to go at all or prepare that if you order to go, you will have an extremely long wait. Update: I got home and realized the food is cold. The food was not even hot enough to say warm for the short ride home. The food is fine, not bad, not amazing. It's not worth the wait, that's for sure.
I don't complain much, but this is a PSA (public service announcement) This place needs serious help with customer service and cooking. Came in Sat evening to eat KFC with my family. Had ate here a year or 2 ago and was good. Cashier was on phone taking an order I guess the caller was asking a lot of questions, no problem. He finish ran to kitchen to give order, came back and phone rang again and took the call while I was waiting with another customers. Logic would tell you put the caller on hold and attend to the people in front of you. After 5 min I should have taken that as a sign to walk out. Finally placed order for 10 sweet and spicy wings, 5 garlic drum sticks and 1 basket of fries. It took nearly 1 hour for food to come out. Cashier apologized. When the food came out the order for the 10 sweet and spicy wings were not sauced, while taking them back he dropped all of them and the fries on the floor. He later bought out the 5 garlic drum sticks in a container with no additional dish, napkins or utensils. While eating the drum stick I noticed a pool or red juices on the bottom of the tray and told a lady working there. She brought it back to the kitchen and the cook later came out to ask me what was wrong. By this time he had poured out the red juices because when he showed me the basket it was dry. He began to explain the juices from the bone may run red but he cooked for 20 min and completely safe, I told him I cook also and the juices should run clear not red. He said he didnt see any red juices in the basket, but I then noticed a drop of red juice on the table and told him what was that, he lied and said I dont know. Own up to your mistake, and don't lie. Check your food if you order here, they will probably make it wrong or undercook your food.
Horrible service. Placed an order for carry-out and arrived on-time. They forgot to print the order and give to kitchen. Excuse was very busy though there were only two customers dining at that time. Already paid $70 with tips for carry-out! They offered no adjustment for bad service!! We love Korea BBQ and drive 20minutes to Mason road. Thought this is closer to our house and convenient but to no avail.
We ordered to go and were told pickup would be 6:30. They've never been ready when they said so we got there at 6:40. Girl working counter told us to take a seat. At 7:05 we asked where the food was and were told it would be another 15 minutes. Girl was just sitting there looking at phone and never updated us. When we asked why it was taking longer she said "systems malfunction". We got Food at 7:38 - $120 order. If we hadn't paid when ordering we would have left earlier. No one ever tried to update us or seemed to care how bad the service was. Never again
My 13 year old daughter went here with friends on Saturday and they all paid cash. When it was my daughter's turn to pay for her food, she gave them a $20 and the cashier told her he didn't have any change, so he just kept her $20. Being so young and not having any adults there with them, she didn't realize that this completely wrong and not the way a business should run! If you are out of change, you either send an employee to the bank, or you say you can't serve the customer. You don't just keep people's money!
I had a very bad experience here. I came to pick up an order for doorDash which I was told would take 11 minutes to fill. It ended up taking 35 minutes, and during this time the lady was filling other orders that came in after me and handing them their food. when I asked her why it was taking so long, She very rudely told me, “it’s dinner time”! And because of this, the man I was delivering for took away my tip, and I got a bad review at DoorDash for something that was not my fault. And during this time I could’ve been doing other orders. it wasted so much time. I will never go back here again.
Great chicken but they need to train their cashier or hire someone more personable/responsible. Teen sat there looking at her phone the whole time and we waited 1 hr instead of 20 min to pick up our order. We waited quiety for 45 min & finally asjed. Cashier asked the kitchen and there was yelling in the kitchen. and told us 20 min. Do they start cooking when pickup ppl arrive? Rudiculous. Owner should stay on site instead of leaving it to a part timer if they want to keep the business.
First off, I wanna mention that I don’t take the time to write these reviews but I want to highlight how low the service sank to spare anyone considering this place. We ended up giving up waiting for our food to come out since we were situated for over 30 minutes with a bare bones interior with little to no check ups from the cashier (who was helpless). Not worth our time, not worth yours either.
i think they changed recipe. They used to be the best fried chicken in the area. This evening I order delivery of 20 pics half original and half crispy spicy . But they come in all crispy spicy and did not taste good like it used to
I ordered 10 drumsticks, 5 garlic and 5 sweet and spicy and I could not eat them gad to put them in the trash. First, the drumsticks are GIGANTIC!!!! Abnormally GIGANTIC, there is no way these are not genetically modified. Now let’s talk about flavor and seasoning!!!!! PURE SALT!!!! WHY???? There are two things I cannot forgive people for not utilizing in America; toothpaste and seasoning because they are dirt cheap. TOO MUCH SALT!!!! You are going to kill people. If I had gotten 10 small flavored drumsticks I would have been satisfied. They probably don’t eat what they are serving but put some passion in your business, be proud of what you’re putting out. It’s not all about profit.
Truly terrible, ordered meals for three people and a cost about $50. First the waffle fries, These were truly disasters, they were hard even feel like potatoes. secondly the drumstick, the portion size are huge, like concerningly large amounts of chicken. did the teriyaki bowl, which looked sad and tasted even sadder. Lastly the wings, i ordered it half extra spicy and half sweet and spicy. The sweet and spicy just tasted like honey. and the extra spicy was really not that spicy at all. I was really hoping it would actually be spicy because ive been looking for spicy chicken for ages but it was really really bad. They also took forver to get the food out. all in all a bad experience, never again.
Probably I would give them a zero if I could. I never seen such a bad customer service in My life. Besides they are the ifs, if you order a whole chicken they give you one breast and cut it into 2 pieces and 2 legs and bones and one or 2 wings. But I would need my refund and a big apologies for your rude and lack of human nature employee. I said thank you when leaving, he said I don't care. I didn't eat the food because I was afraid He did something disgusting to it.
Ordered here for the first time in awhile and it was not a good experience. Had to wait even longer for the food to be ready than the expected time. When I got home to eat I took one bite and the sandwich was absolutely gross. Not how it used to be before they changed owners. Not the same quality, definitely cutting corners when it comes to ingredients. Called to see if we could get a refund and the manager was very rude about the situation. Never again going back unless by some miracle the original owners come back. Place won’t last much longer by the way they do their food and their attitude.
i ordered this which is supposed to be a spicy rice cake… it almost feels like a frozen kit that you microwave it. no flavor, nothing! the workers were asking how to make it after i already made the payment which was a red flag from the beginning but I didn’t want to judge it before i taste it. never coming back!
Ok I just placed an order with Uber eat when The order came the bag was open.How can you trust an open bag of food delivered to you I called the customer service and she said I had to partially get my money from Uber eat unbelievable

I had a very disappointing experience at this restaurant. The worker initially told us it would take 15-20 minutes for our food to be ready, but we ended up waiting for AN HOUR AND 30 MINUTES. During this time, we noticed that several people who arrived after us received their orders before we did which was so annoying. The worker kept reassuring us that our order would be ready in just 5 more minutes, but this happened repeatedly, and another 30 minutes passed with no food in sight. When our food finally arrived, it was underwhelming. Not only was it overpriced, but the taste did not justify the high cost. The portions were also very small, leaving us still hungry after the meal. While the worker was polite, the overall service was unacceptable. I would not recommend this place unless you are prepared for an exceptionally long wait and mediocre food that is not worth the price. Would rate this place nothing if I could. Save yourself money and your time by not coming here.
This is the most expensive chicken tenders I have ever had! My check was 14 plus tip of course 16.23 for 5 pieces. No side order. Their menu is super expensive. I asked about a salad and there was none. One of the guys working gave me a small 1/3 cup container of coulslaw , dis not even had taste. I have never felt so cheated about a price for chicken tenders. I would not recommend this place at all.
