Kono

If you like to eat fried chicken this probably your first choice. Love the wings so much and pork feet is also great.

Kono chicken a Korean fried chicken place, in similar vein to mad for chicken or bonchon chicken. There are two locations, one is this place and the other is somewhere in Murray Hill. This is their newer location but is for take-​out/​delivery only. It shares the same space with a Korean butcher shop so don’t get confused when you walk in to pick up your chicken.
My family ordered 12 chicken legs from Kono for Thanksgiving…
I just really dislike cooking turkey when I know ¾ of it will be leftover. I also don’t like turkey in general because it’s such a dry meat. I mean, the pilgrims didn’t eat turkey because it tasted good, they kind of had to. Pretty sure they could have just as well eaten chicken but could not since they were barely getting by. Doesn’t mean we have to eat such dry meat. I mean, it requires both gravy and cranberry sauce for goodness sake! You can’t argue that it’s not dry when the two must-​have «sides» with large chunks of turkey meat are there to ensure it doesn’t taste too dry.
ANYHOW. They were good Korean fried chicken legs. Looking at the pictures of their main location, I would personally STAY AWAY from their wings as you get 16 wings for the same price of 12 chicken legs. It’s not like the chicken is DRY either (unlike turkey) so the legs are pretty good. For the sauce, I would put it pretty close to MFC. So now that MFC has gone and shrunk their wing sizes to may an inch and a half (check out my MFC reviews with pictures), I’ll most likely end up visiting Kono much more. I also hear their other dishes are pretty good as well. Might try them out as well.
They also gave a free can of soda, which was nice of them. I believe the owner of Kono is the same person who owned Kyedong Chicken.
If you’re craving some MFC-​esq chicken with bonchon-​esq portions and you’re okay taking it to go, order legs from Kono. Don’t come complaining to me if you order their small wings and end up hating your life. I just wish they would expand to a place on northern with actual seating and service…
Chicken over turkey!
