Cocodak is widely praised for tasty and authentic Korean dishes, with standout fried chicken, dumplings, bibimbap, bossam, jaeyuk, and dwaeji gomtang, plus generous portions across a broad menu. The yogurt soju is frequently recommended and the kimchi and side dishes are highlighted as especially good. Service is described as friendly and patient, with staff helpful about allergies and even when language barriers arise. The atmosphere tends to be welcoming and casual, sometimes described as student friendly, though a few comments note the space is not the nicest or cleanest. Prices are regarded as a good value by many, while others find certain items a bit pricey. A brunch menu is offered on weekends and is well received, though it is limited compared to the regular dinner lineup. Some reviews mention a drop in food quality compared to earlier visits, but most dishes are still rated delicious, savory, and well prepared. Overall, Cocodak comes across as a reliable, family run spot and a hidden gem for Korean flavors that delivers strong, comforting meals even as a few aspects could improve.
I ordered a bibimbap, a seafood pancake, & sweet-spicy fried chicken.
All there were served quickly within 10 mins, & were very delicious!
The bibimbap was savory & fresh.
The seafood pancake was crunchy, not oily, the shrimp & octopus slices were perfectly cooked but tender.
The fried chicken had a leg piece, wings & breasts. All 4 pieces were crunchy, the sauce was great & not too salty, the meat was very tender on all pieces.
Everything including the free appetizers (kimchi, etc.) were perfect. My complements to the great chefs!
Cocodak was a good experience. I got the huge platter & shared it with my partner. It was great to taste all of the flavors of the side dishes & the beef.
The atmosphere was very similar to other Korean places I've been to; clean, soft colors, with the smell of Korean food lingering.
Overall, it was a good experience. It's not too special, but ita good place to get Korean food.
Came here on a Friday around 18:30. Some patrons already eating, plenty of room still. Staff was nice, answered questions, managed an allergy to shellfish among some in our party. All pleasant to interact with. When asked How spicy is the Sweet & Spicy Chicken, the staffer answered 3/10-& that was quite accurate in hindsight. It'd be appreciated that healthier non-alcoholic drink options be offered (& not only the 2 high sugar beverages on the menu as of 2025/05/08).
I'll try to make it back again. Hope this review helps others!
They have a brunch menu where it's only available on weekend morning & weekend lunch & is a small, limited menu. Their usual regular supper menu is not available. When I came, their brunch menu & the food was good!
Ordered on uber eats two different times… really good bulgog & fried chicken… but what I truly LOVED was the kimchi. DAYUMMM it was delicious! I even mixed the leftover juice & mixed it with mayo… nothing went to waste lol! Thanks!

The best Korean restaurant I've ever been to! The menu is full of variety, especially their crispy fried chicken with a range of rich, flavorful sauces. My favorite is the bibimbap with fried chicken drumsticks just thinking about it makes me want to go back!
The restaurant is spacious, making it perfect for meals with family or friends. The dishes are beautifully presented, with vibrant colors that make them even more appetizing. It's a place where you can explore a wide selection of Korean flavors. Truly unforgettable! ❤?
food comes in decently large portions & tastes very good. there's a good range of different options on the menu & there's something for everyone. my favorite dishes happen to be the tteokbokki & black sesame noodles.
the price is quite expensive for some of the food however, a beef tteokbokki is around $20 for a modest portion.
I got take out & ordered the jap chae with vegetables & paid extra for tofu & an egg to turn it into a complete meal. The japchae itself was tasty but the ratio of veggies to noodles was so off. So little veggie & so many noodles. They gave two mushrooms too which was a little insulting for the price 😅 & the tofu was completely unseasoned & I had to season it myself. Not worth ordering that dish in my opinion but symbolically makes me wonder if they truly value all their customers.
My friend & I ordered rice cake skewers, deep fried chicken dumplings, cheesy corn, the army stew & the bulgogi with rice. Every item was better than the other, & we were already talking about coming back to try other items on the menu. This place is great for a sharing style dining where you go in with a small group & order a few different dishes ro share. The service was quick & friendly. Definitely a place I'd recommend to others ♡♡
Le service était très très bon, les serveurs sont très gentils & viennent toujours voir si tout se passe bien. La nourriture est très bonne! La musique est douce & l'ambiance est très agréable :) (merci à mon serveur pour sa gentillesse).
The food here is great & was my go to lunch spot. Recently they have changed the menu for a lunch menu & a dinner menu. As someone who loves going here for lunch was devastated at the sudden change. The selection for the lunch menu is small with maybe a quarter of what they used to have. I understand depending on the situation they are in it can change but this really disappointed me.
