Coqodaq is a dining establishment located in Manhattan's Flatiron District, New York City, that specializes in Korean fried chicken. It commenced operations in 2024.
History
In January 2024, Simon Kim, the creator behind the Korean steakhouse Cote, inaugurated Coqodaq. The venue's interior was crafted by the Rockwell Group, a firm renowned for its unique restaurant designs.
By the middle of 2024, Coqodaq had emerged as one of the most coveted culinary destinations in New York City, earning a spot on The Infatuation's list highlighting the city's "Toughest Reservations."
Offerings
Boasting a collection of 400 varieties of champagne, Coqodaq holds the distinction of having the largest champagne selection in the United States.
Reviews and accolades
Critic Pete Wells delivered a somewhat mixed evaluation, describing the restaurant as "fine" but pointing out an excessive use of salt and sugar.
Matthew Schneier from Grub Street praised the inclusion of a hand washing station as "a nice touch" and remarked on Coqodaq’s competitive pricing relative to Korean fried chicken chains such as Bonchon Chicken.
In June 2024, Coqodaq was recognized by inclusion in the Michelin Guide for New York City, joining other notable venues like Bungalow.
