Korean fried chicken restaurant Kokodoo is set to be Fulham’s first new launch of 2026, with the opening of a “flagship” site on January 16.
The new restaurant will offer both eat-in and takeaway options at 8 Fulham Broadway, premises formerly housing Sia Hair & Beauty.
The small chain, launched on food trucks in 2016 by Joseph and Mary Yoon, is a former winner at the British Street Food Awards which began expanding into new locations across London in 2022. Those locations include an outlet in Shoreditch and a food truck in Chiswick’s Business Park.
Now they say: “The flagship - marking a new chapter: our first purpose built space, created to elevate the craft behind our speciality Korean fried chicken.
“ Purposefully shaped, quietly confident, guided by a contemporary minimalism that reflects our streamlined, quality-led menu - celebrating a decade of refinement, a place made not just to serve food, but to share the feeling of Kokodoo, breaking the fried chicken blueprint.”
As this suggests, the restaurant promises a simple menu of chicken, burgers and wings with a range of sauces, from the very mild sweet and spicy Gochujang glaze to fiery chilli.
As the owners say: “ At Kokodoo, we keep it simple. A tight menu. Big flavours. No fillers.”
Kokodoo, on the west side of the Broadway close to the recently opened M&S Foodhall, will be open on Friday January 16 from 11am till 7pm.
