Kiko Korean Fried Chicken

Best Korean chicken wings l've ever had! I've been dying for Nashville to get a place like this. Fries were great too. I'll absolutely be making this part of my lunch and dinner rotation. Best of all, though, is the owner, who was one of the friendliest people l've ever met in food service. Really nice young guy from the Nashville area who just opened this restaurant. This place deserves your business and you will be so happy with the wings. If I could give it more than 5 stars, I would.

We tried the honey glazed and soy garlic wings, both bone in and boneless. The flavors were amazing, and the batter on the chicken was perfectly crunchy! The sweet potato fries were also the best sweet potato fries we have ever had! Overall the meal was a 10/10! This is a new restaurant to the Nashville vandy area run by a sweet, hard-working, young owner. The food is amazing, the staff is very friendly, and it is perfect for students to grab a delicious meal! Please come support this business!

The wings are so big they need their own adjective. Jumbo? Hell na. These is SUMO size. Wings as big as drumsticks. Hell, they mighta come off big bird. And did I say juicy?! Stop playin. I already wrote a paragraph and ain’t even talked about the sauce. Flavor so potently perfect you lick your fingers and Guy Fieri pops out with wet wipes. Flavortown has a new mayor and it’s Kiko. Ask for Nashville hot never have to go to Hattie B’s again.

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 definitely be back!

I wish I could give this place more than five stars! The fried chicken is perfectly crispy, and each sauce is unique and delicious. It was just as good if not better than the fried chicken I had in South Korea. AND THE DRINKS! So good! We tried the new mango lemonade, and it was a wonderful caffeine alternative and a perfect balance of sour and sweet. The jasmine green tea tasted just like the milk tea I had in Taiwan; it’s the best jasmine tea I’ve had in Nashville. We also got a side of the pickled radish which was amazing. Don’t hesitate to trust Kiko’s! 🧡

Small interior but plenty of parking in the shopping center. Tried the soy garlic and honey glaze wings. Will try a few other flavors next time. Excited to see banana milk on the menu as well. I only wish it came with pickled radish instead of adding as a side. Excited to add this place to Nashville’s food scene that is definitely lacking in Korean options, particularly fried chicken.

We tried the yangnyeom-flavored boneless tenders. The sauce had nice flavor, but the chicken itself was bland and tasted like a plain tender with sauce on top rather than being seasoned or marinated.
