Korean Fried Chicken
Coqodaq
Coqodaq, from Simon Kim of Michelin-starred Cote, was conceived as a "cathedral of fried chicken," a high-low concept that elevates a beloved comfort food. It's a place where you can indulge in fried chicken with an extensive champagne list, aiming to make the experience both luxurious and accessible. Regulars know to appreciate the thoughtful details, like the hand-washing station with luxury soaps at the entrance, a nod to the finger-licking good meal ahead.
★ The Legend
The Bucket List
This prix fixe menu is Coqodaq's signature offering, designed by Executive Chef SK Kim to provide a complete, elevated Korean fried chicken experience. It includes a chicken consommé, two styles of fried chicken (Original and your choice of Soy Sauce Garlic or Gochujang Glaze), banchan, cold perilla soy sauce noodles, and frozen yogurt for dessert.
◆ Fan Favorite
24 Karat with Golden Daurenki caviar
These individual fried chicken nuggets, topped with Golden Daurenki caviar, became an instant viral sensation on social media, drawing crowds and making Coqodaq one of the hardest reservations in NYC. While a splurge, many consider it a unique, decadent bite that perfectly encapsulates Coqodaq's luxury fried chicken concept.
● Chef's Pick
Pasture-Raised Chicken Consommé
Served as the first course of The Bucket List, this warm consommé made with Korean red ginseng and chives is intended to soothe the stomach and prepare diners for the meal. Chef SK Kim emphasizes its role in setting the tone for the dining experience.
◇ Hidden Gem
Cold Perilla Seed Noodle
Often overshadowed by the fried chicken, these chilled capellini noodles with perilla soy sauce are a refreshing and palate-cleansing counterpoint to the richness of the fried chicken. It's a dish that first-timers might overlook, but regulars appreciate its unique flavor profile and how it balances the meal.
Insider Tip
First-timers often struggle to get a reservation, leading to long waits. Instead, aim for a walk-in spot at the bar or in the front lounge right when they open at 5 PM on a weekday. This way, you can experience the full ambiance and enjoy the food without the stress of a hard-to-get booking.
