Koko Korean Food in Scarborough

Only a small place but the food and service was great. Good value for money too.

Super lovely cafe with delicious food, I sat at the window and watched people walking their dogs. The pancakes are very light and airy and the kimchi dumplings are absolutely delicious! Staff were friendly and helpful and there are vegan options!

Great quality food and friendly staff. Thoroughly recommend.

This was my first time trying Korean food. Delicious food that's full of flavour.

Beef bibimbap was to to die for, and the service was amazing

Food is absolutely excellent. I had a takeaway pork bibimbap and fried kimchi dumplings. Bursting with flavour!! This is a hidden gem in the heart of Whitby. Would return. You can eat inside however only couple of small tables. I rated the atmosphere only 3 star for this one as it isn't really inviting to go inside. The shutters half down and shop appeared empty. You may want to keep the shutters up and allow more light into the shop in order for it to be more inviting for customers in particularly when there is a lot of takeaways and eateries in the nearby vicinity. 4.3 Would return.

Very reasonably priced food for Whitby where you're usually paying £10+ per menu item. The bimbap is probably what I would suggest for a balanced meal as it comes with meat, veg and carbs whereas the fried chicken options don't come with anything other than rice. I enjoyed the Korean pancake as well. A suggestion for the restaurant if they read this review: the fried chicken drumsticks were very nice but I think it would be even better if you used chicken wings (drumlets). As a customer I'm looking for a good skin / sauce to meat ratio and chicken drumsticks have "too much" meat. Should be quicker to cook as well.

Lovely little hidden gem. Been wanting to try Korean food and it was amazing. Flavours were fantastic, never thought I'd like Kimchi dumplings but they were amazing and the sauce for the fried chicken was very good. We were the only ones in there on a Sunday afternoon and they let us bring our dog in. Which was great as we were going to order takeaway but it was lovely to sit in and eat. Lovely staff, lovely food, lovely place to eat.

What a surprise place to find in whitby. Nice food with a Korean fast food feel about it. Will eat again there. Try the sweet chilli chicken...

The food is absolutely amazing!

A real hidden gem in Whitby. Amazing Korean food and really friendly owners. By far the best food we ate during our stay in Whitby, so good that we came back in the same week!

Great food! Super delicious and would 100% come back!

Lovely hidden gem. Eat in or take away. The chicken is cooked perfectly the sauce is delicious and portions sizes are very good.

Food was absolutely amazing, the employees were extremely nice and food was served quickly. Def recommend!

Well-made authentic Korean style fried chicken. Why always fish&chips? Try this one.

I've actually stopped eating to write this review. Such good food!! Sweet and spicy chicken bibimbap is unreal. Highly recommended, and can't wait to come to Whitby again just to visit Koko. Great food, very kind and attentive staff. Full marks!

I used to live in Korea briefly many years ago. Love Korean food. The food here tastes just like how I remember it and brought back memories. Would come here again if I visit Whitby again

Super friendly staff and delicious kimbap 🤤

This little shop tucked away near captain Hook museum shop is an amazing little find. They serve vegan food and its delicious.

Enjoyed a lovely meal at Koko Korean on Friday! The service was prompt and the chef was polite and made some excellent food! We ordered the dduk-kochi & sodduck sodduk for starters, which were delicious! We also ordered a pork bibimbap and a vegetarian one too, the food was gluten free and tasted incredible. Lovely atmosphere, very relaxed and fantastic service. Will be returning during our next trip to Whitby!

Delicious! Our fussy 5 and 7 year olds loved the fried chicken, the 11 year old had the sweet chilli fried chicken which my husband and I were jealous of and our 2 meals were incredible as well. My oldest said it 'deserves to have a bigger space so more people can enjoy it!'

Tiny restaurant. We ate in. Service was second to none. Food was amazing. Would definitely go again

We ate there last night and the food was excellent. The staff were very friendly and helpful. There is a small seating area if you want to eat in. Definitely recommend.

Friendly service and excellent food. The bibimbap is a must. The sweet chilli chicken is great too.

Sick of fish and chips? Well this was a pleasant change.. We all enjoyed our meals and would definitely go back

Beautiful little restaurant, such a pleasure to eat here. The owner was so polite and timely with our food! Would definitely eat here there again

Small cafe and takeaway. Food ok but the prices have rocketed

Really tasty food at a very reasonable price, we love it 😍

I had a takeaway sweet chilli chicken which was great, rice a bit stodgy for my taste. I would have it again

Had a take away spicy chicken and a Korean pancake and it was amazing, juicy, crunchy, spicy and freshly made in 10mins, shocked this place isn't busier.

I’ve been wanting to try this since my last visit to Whitby 6 months ago but WOW! it was definitely worth the wait. The staff were friendly asked about spice preference to ensure I enjoyed my meal. I ordered the Korean Pancake and Vegetable Bibimbap. The food was super flavourful. I’d truly recommend the place. Pretty good price and definitely worth it!

Excellent place to get quick food. Healthy compared to fish and chips and other takeaways in Whitby

The sweet spicy fried chicken was the best! The coating was incomparable and the chicken was succulent. Might be the best Korean fried chicken in the UK!

Had the kimchi dumplings and vegan bibimbap. Both were delicious, just the right amount of spice, and the service was great.

My wife and I ate here today as we're in Whitby for a week. Wasn't disappointed! I'll probably be back tomorrow lol.

Absolutely delicious and healthy food, also service was excellent

Would have loved to have rated it differently but when you order Bibimbap main and the waitress/chef brings out the main courses she apologises as she has made you chicken and rice in error I can't really rate higher. That said, the pancake starter and kimchi dumplings were glorious. Chicken and rice was basic, but tasty. Just a shame it wasn't what I ordered.

Amazing food! The quality was amazing and the owner was so friendly. Thank you!

Great food! Very welcoming and friendly, offered some excellent vegan options, we will be back next time we are in Whitby

Warm and welcoming place with the most delicious Korean food! The fried chicken, bibimbap and Korean pancakes were all freshly made and just what we needed on a cold and windy day in Whitby! Must try if you’re visiting!

Absolutely outstanding!!! First time here on last day. In terms of value for money and taste...stupendous. The chef is an artist. I watched him prepare several dishes with precision and love. Simple but stunning menu with exquisite service. It's a pleasure to be served here. Thank you 😊 💓

The Bibimbap is just amazing as is the sweet spicy chicken 🍗 A total treat.

Just had lunch here we got 2 meals sweet chilli chicken and rice and spicy chicken and rice. The food is really really nice however at nearly 8.50 a meal for three chicken drumsticks and a handful of rice or chips is shocking. The food we got must have cost no more than a pound. I realise you have overheads but there needs to be balance between profit and value for money no one can say 3 drumsticks and a hand full of chips is worth 8.30.

Amazing food, great service and well priced :)

Such a nice cashier who helped us order. We ordered spicy chicken with rice and was absolutely delicious. The food was at a great price. Thank you so much!

Superb and we were staying just round the corner so went back for seconds. Glad holiday treat as may of become addicted. Simple menu and very tasty. May they do really well with battered chicken in town of battered fish.

The atmosphere was really good and the food tasted really authentic. It was like I had been transported right into Korea. It is a good place for kpop lovers due to the songs played. While I was ordering I managed to listen to sneakers by itzy and love by monsta x. You also have the ability to choose your spice level when ordering food which ensures that you can eat it. I truly recommended this place as one of the best korean takeouts and hope you have a good time there

Went there for some food and I didn't regret my decision it's nice to see how nice worker is. Even though it's small it's great. It's a big difference from the fish and chips here.

Delicious food and wholesome service!

Ordered 1 beef bipmbap, 1 fried chic, 1 kimchi dumpling, spicy dipping sauce. 1st expensive over £20. Then had to wait over 15mins. Small portions. Bipmbap bowl barely 1/2 full. Chicken was 2 legs 2 ‘nuggets’ for nearly £6. Got wrong dumplings. Taste was ok. I feel it should be much better…

had spicy beef bibimbap and fried chicken and chips, both were very yummy. the lady at the till was friendly and helpful and the food was a very reasonable price (around £8 each). food took probably around 10 minutes after order. overall amazing and would reccomend!!

As soon as I saw this little gem I knew I had to try it!.The service was lovely and cheery from the owners.I ordered the Korean pork bibimbap and it did not disappoint!.The sauce was so flavoursome and the food was lovely and fresh. I have been in Whitby all week and I can honestly say it was one of the most tastiest meals I have had all week!.I 100% recommend, especially for spice lovers like myself.I will definitely be returning here!

the chicken wings and pancakes are super duper good👌⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

After wandering round for a while reviewing options on a Tuesday evening when quite a few places were closed we ended up trying Koko’s. It was so good we came back again the following night!

The best fried chicken I have ever had! The sauce was beautifully sweet and the rice was perfect. Thoroughly recommended place to eat in Whitby

Food was amazing!!! Would definitely recommend !!!

The food was lovely and the man behind the counter preparing the food was very friendly - Would visit again

Korean Fried Chicken at its finest. Spicy, crispy chicken. Fantastic chips

Have tried everything on the menu and it's absolutely gorgeous! A great alternative when greasy chips gets a bit old and the owners are lovely. Well worth a try, especially if you've never experienced Korean food before. The kimbap and dumplings are my favourites!

Great spot to go if you want to have great korean food. The vegan bibimbap was amazing. Sweet, savory, spicy, and a perfect rice, sauce, and vegetable ratio. The restaurant also sold korean soft drinks, kimchi and noodles. The man working there was very sweet and made the food fairly quickly. If you’re ever in the area you HAVE to stop by.

The food was delicious and they prepared it quickly too. The owners were warm and they have a good variety of dishes to choose from as well. However, this place is only takeaway.

Fantastic food and lovely owner who was kind enough to practice a little Korean with us. Authentic stuff 👍

Really enjoyed our chicken after a fish heavy week (Whitby is known for its fish, after all) The spicy chicken is a slow burn - it sneaks up on you but was great. Chicken very crispy and enjoyed by all. Dumplings good too although I like my kimchi with more chilli. Very enjoyable and I wish the owners every success :)

The spicy beef bibimbap was excellent. I would say that looks can be deceiving and to give this place a try if you want some different from fish and chips in Whitby.

Delicious. Perfect chicken beautiful flavours. Great place to go.

Amazing food and wonderful service. We loved the chicken and bibimbap especially. No seating in the restaurant so you take it to go. The shop also sells a great selection of grocery items. Highly recommend and such an asset to Whitby restaurant landscape.

Amazing food and great service! There’s something for every diet/taste. Owner asked how spicy we wanted the food and she was very friendly. I highly recommend the kimchi dumplings and bibimbap. Very cheap for the quality and freshness of the food!

I’m so happy I tried this place! Beautiful food, good prices, lovely staff, friendly service. It was perfect and I’m really excited to go back.

Ordered beef bibimbap and kimchi dumplings. A nice change from fish and chips

Really friendly staff and fantastic, delicious food, wish I ordered more than just the sweet chicken!

Delicious, cheap and authentic Korean food from this wonderful little place - the owner was friendly and helpful describing the food and in 10 minutes time we had amazing lunch! Highly recommended A + 😋

Very welcoming store with very friendly staff. Got the Beef Bibimbap and Beef Kimbap and was not disappointed. Highly recommend, whatever the occasion!

The plan was to eat fish and chips while sitting at the pier enjoying the view. However, when I walked pass this place I thought well .. I can always have fish & chip at the seaside anywhere in the UK but not an authentic korean food. I didn't regret my decision at all. The place is very small and clean, you might need to wait outside while your order is being prepared, that would give a space for other customers to come inside and place their orders. The lady serving us is very lovely. We ordered spicy beef bibimbap, a healthy choice and very tasty one! They take payment by card which is great. I would definitely go back to this place next time I am in Whitby. Highly recommended!

Walked past, was curious. We tried it and it's the best we have ever had! Fired chicken was beautiful and light. Kimbap was amazing too- really fresh. Lady serving was lovely! Bought some ssamjang to try which was also really nice! 100% recommend!!

Great tasty food. Worth a try if your bored of fish and chips. Reasonable prices.

Closed early before stated opening hours for no reason.

Highly recommend! Great food - extremely delicious and large portion sizes! We especially enjoyed the pancakes and chicken. Very lovely staff as well

This is a takeout Korean restaurant that Chabak Chabak visited because he wanted to eat Korean food. The boss boasts that his daughter got into Oxford this time. You should be proud of your daughter~ Boss. You must be working hard to teach your daughter well while living in a foreign country.

Great food, friendly staff, can't ask for more!

One of my favourite take aways in Whitby. Love everything we've tried and the service is very helpful and welcoming

Saw a sign for the restaurant and decided to try it out. Best Korean food I’ve had in the UK. The gimbap and dumplings were so delicious and the chicken was fresh and crispy. Would definitely recommend !

Lovely tasting Korean food. Staff very helpful and recommend what you might like depending if you like spicy or mild they have dishes for everyone

I had the sweet chilli chicken and it was absolutely delicious. I intend to go back soon 😊.

Picked up a pork bibimbap and a chicken one too, food was really nice well cooked and filling, a great little Korean takeout in Whitby

The food is soooo good and authentic! This is definitely the most authentic Korean food I've had in the UK, if not the world! Really highly recommend!

Just had lunch .... it was sensational. Absolutely delicious.

Spicy chicken was delicious, big portions, excellent value.

Delicious Korean food. Friendly chap serving. Highly recommended. Limited menu but great food.

The BEST fried chicken I've ever tasted! The batter was light and crispy. The chicken was tender and juicy! Cooked to perfection. And the sauce was sweet, with a perfect amount of spice. It was a flavour explosion in my mouth! The rice was also nice and fluffy, and the bibimbap was crunchy, flavourful and overall delicious! Definitely come Here!

Very generous portions, reasonably priced, lovely staff.

Easily the best fried chicken ive ever had and the owners are so lovely, definatly hope this place does well so i can go again next year.

Such a cute little place, and the lady was really friendly and helpful. I had the beef kimbab which was tasty and freshly made. Made a nice change from fish and chips, will definitely be back to try some of the other food on the menu as the fried chicken looked good as well.

Only had the kimbap but was well made and fresh. It was still warm when I got it! Amazing place

I ordered two most popular dishes as suggested by the owner. It was so delicious. Very authentic taste. Will go back again whenever I can.

I love the sweet and spicy chicken and beef bibimbap👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

A fantastic addition to Whitby, makes a change from Fish and chips, food was superb and I'll definitely be returning next year.

Delicious bibimbap and dumplings, really a hidden gem.

Absolutely fantastic food, a perfect addition to Whitby, especially if you don’t want fish and chips for the 3rd day in a row on your holiday! We had the sweet chilli fried chicken with chips and it was some of the best fried chicken we’ve ever had. It was crispy, fresh and tender, the sweet chilli was delicious, it was served and packed with so much care, and the man running the shop was so lovely and clearly takes a lot of pride in his food.

As a local of Whitby and one who works up the street from koko chicken I often eat from the joint for its convenience but there’s more to it than that. The owners are wonderful. The food is relatively inexpensive. The meat is of the best quality expertly breaded, succulent and covered in a tangy delicious stick sauce with fresh white rice. At 8 pounds and 30 pence it is the best food I have ever eaten for under 10 pounds. Koko chicken has set a high bar for Whitby street food and I believe that it cannot be topped. The humble pie and mash team looks forward to eating from koko chicken for what we hope to be a long future for their business. Perhaps if they offered boneless chicken it would be a slight convenience for those who simply don’t have time to sit down and eat but besides that I cannot find a flaw of koko chicken. Simply outstanding

Tucked away amongst a myriad of fish and chip shops in a small side street, this Takeaway is a certified hidden gem. The menu may look fairly small but I'd call it refined. Where many Takeaway serve too many dishes to count that end up all tasting either the same or try to be a jack of all trades but end up mastering none, Koko provides a greatest hits of Korean Takeaway food, offering a small but varied and distinct range of dishes that are all excellent. The service was speedy and very friendly and the portion sizes are very respectable. The bibimbap is hearty and flavoursome, I had the pork and it was tender and tasty. The dumplings were also impressive, crispy yet with moist interior. What stole the show for me was the spicy fried chicken, the sauce coating the outside was outstanding, sweet and tastefully spiced. The chicken is coated in a generous amount of sauce but the chickens coating is still very crispy, with the meat itself moist and juicy. Very very impressive Takeaway and would recommend to anyone staying in Whitby
