CoCodak Asian Restaurant

This location in a strip mall at the 4 way intersection of Clairmont and N Decatur has been a revolving door for a bunch of restos coming in and out every couple of years... The last joint this space hosted was Rice Mac I love Rice and before that it was a bunch of low rent dumps like Kyoto Joe's Japanese Grill, Pita House Falafel Restaurant and Cafe Int'l Cuisine, and Juicy Wings. I'm sure it prolly hosted a bunch of other crap before that... All to cater towards the Emory students. But now, it has been transformed again to a hybrid Asian resto, part crusty Corean, slutty Chino and stinky Thai. I was not interested in the slutty Chino or Thai slop because it was all the classic roundeye hits. They also have the new gimmick, Korean corn dogs... But I was only interested in the KFC because they have all the flavors and toppings like at Choong Man Chicken and bb.q Chicken. In case y'all didn't know, I kinda like fwied cheekan, like a lot. They got all the hits like garlic soy, garlic spicy, honey garlic, snow white, spring soy, and a bunch of other generic flavors. I'm going in for just the regular fried chicken, so, I can see if they can do that right without all the shit on top masking the flavor.

Our Story

We put all our imagination, passion and enthusiasm into the restaurant. At CoCodak Asian Restaurant, we have created a place where you can enjoy Korean traditional fine fried chicken; Korean corn dog; Chinese cuisine; Thai cuisine and Veterinary Food. 

I can't wait to try their Veterinary Food... I hope they use Shih Tzu meat, it's much more tender than a Pomeranian.

Let's take a first look and taste... But will their cheekan beat the GOAT, Popeyes...

Golden Fried Chicken, $13.99 (half).

Is that a cheekan peen poking out that slit or is it giving me the bird? Wait, does that say Korean "Style" Chicken? Jesus, did I just fucked myself again? I guess I will be crying myself to sleep again tonight... 

WTF?! Isn't 070 a Korean area code? Why would they say it is Korean Style if these boxes are from Korea? It's like McDonald's saying they are American Style Shit Burgers. On another note/observation, this box is pretty small even for a half chicken. I could fit this box in that tiny square front pocket on my jeans, I just need to make sure I don't have any baggies of yayo in there first...

I was hoping to have the same look of awe on Vincent's face when he opened up Marsellus Wallace's briefcase but it felt like the Gimp taking a bukake style shit on my face, instead. I can already see the terrible crust that awaits me on those tiny pieces. 

Don't be fooled by this incredible glamour shot of the cheekan, they are pretty small even when hacked up. I tried putting the pieces back together and see if it made a half a chicken... Nope. It was like 1/3 of a cheekan. The crust has a nice golden color but it was so thick and hard like shellac. The crust was terrible but the meat inside was worse, all dried out and chewy. How the fuck does this happen when it just came out of the fryer? Most of the pieces had so much bone in it that you only got a few morsels of meat. It is one of the worst KFC I have ever had. Maybe I shoulda got the snow white one so I can rub the onions in my eyeballs and cry myself to sleep so I don't have to eat this anymore... With this fat fuck's luck, I would prolly have a nightmare with this headless cheekan chasing me around trying to get me to eat him. That would be a real nightmare when the Pouch refuses to eat fried chicken...

I was almost tempted to email them in Korea about how awful it was but what's the use? That space will become something else within 6 months. Tea Leaf next door has a better Taiwanese popcorn chicken than this dump. Popeyes is laughing so hard at this dump.

Flush.
