chikoko rises from a humble family establishment to a well-known local eatery for korean fried chicken. chikoko is famous for crunchy chicken skin and juicy meat, and is a perfect combination with pickled radish and soju. the order takes time, but it is worth the wait. besides fried chicken, you can enjoy jumeokbap (seaweed rice balls), ramen with tteokbokki (rice cake), bibimbap (rice bowl), etc.
when chikoko first opened, the service used to be friendly and attentive. the chicken came with a very good portion and price. most importantly, the flavours were superior.
chikoko, a newly emerged egotistical celebrity, is now less likeable. the pricing increased but the food quality declined. suddenly portion was much more humble. on one occasion, we visited the restaurant at 8 pm and was informed by the staff that the kitchen would close in 15 minutes. as regulars, we ordered straight away after being seated at our tables, and to our surprise, that very same staff informed us that “the kitchen is now closed”. mind you, the closing time is 9 pm. honestly, if you cannot commit to doing business properly, then don’t bother accepting customers.
it used to be excellent, but now it is okay.
p.s. home delivery is available but cash only
