K-COOP CHICKEN - Morton Grove, Illinois

L L

I visited this place during a weekday lunch. I had high expectations due to the great reviews, and the taste did not disappoint. The chicken captured the best qualities of Korean fried chicken and was absolutely delicious. The surroundings were clean, and the space was spacious.

However, there were a few downsides. The servers were very slow and not particularly friendly. They didn’t seem inclined to explain the menu or assist first-time visitors. If you’re visiting for the first time, I recommend studying the menu beforehand. Also, make sure to allow plenty of time, as the food takes quite a while to come out, and the staff is quite laid-back.

That said, the food was so good that I still want to give this place a high rating.

I stopped by for lunch and had a great experience! If you're a fan of Korean fried chicken, this is the place to be. The menu offers a wide variety of options, including wings, tenders, sandwiches, K-tacos, and rice bowls, all with an array of delicious sauces. They also offer a lunch special, which includes wings or tenders, fries, and a sweet pancake. I went with the wing special, topped with creamy onion sauce, and it was fantastic. Both the service and food were excellent, and I’ll definitely be returning next time I’m in the area for lunch.

Crispy and delicious Korean chicken just like I had in Seoul. They have a great variety of sauces as well as desserts. I loved their highball (traditional Korean cocktail drink) menu. The honey pancake was freshly made, and tasted akin to a “fried donut elephant ear.” Their chicken was crispy on the outside with a sweet honey soy sauce, yet the inside was juicy. The staff were very kind in explaining the menu. You really can’t go wrong with any of the sauces. Highly recommend for lunch or a casual date night with some drinks!

Opened while back and finally got to try K-Coop. Went back in July 2024. I started with spring & summer special shandy. Mango and Pineapple shandy were pretty good; it was a bit sweet, but did complement by meal.

Service was mediocre; it wasn't busy visiting on a weeknight. Menu was quite overwhelming; there were too many options for an indecisive person like me, but for others who like options, there's a lot to choose from.

Here's what I got.
sweet onion creamy onion chicken: flavorful
soy spicy: color is beautiful but I didn't like the flavor. I wish there was more spiciness or gochujang flavor
soy honey gizzard: flavorful; texture and crispiness was good, but there was too much batter

Would I go back..? Hmm... I'm not sure.

Very fun place with a large menu of unique dishes. Loved the wings but can't wait to come back and try other things. Good prices and generous serving sizes.

This past April was my wife & I's very first time here and was a rather pleasant experience at a Korean chicken venue.

In the vein of CM Chicken, K-COOP boasts a fine menu with the chicken being the highlight and is absolutely dee-lish!

This was our first experience with Korean style chicken and we loved it. A new type of dining experience to add to our wknd routines.

Not sure when the next time we'll be in being we were just leaving Old Orchard and wanted to explore restaurants away from the mall before heading home which is in far northern Beach Park in Lake County.

Guessing this is a small local-owned business and I wish for continued success & prosperity for the owner(s).
