Wow, you won't believe it! The day of exploring turned out to be a fantastic idea because I had the pleasure of tasting the most incredible empanadas ever! They were so delicious, I couldn't stop myself from having more and more.

Went there with my family. Drove almost 2 hours because we're were heading to the airport and I wanted some authentic Puerto Rican food, sadly this was far from it. I got the Spanglish Cuban sandwich and it was cold. The fries taste like they were fried in old oil hours before we got there and were also cold. The pork belly was dry and unseasoned. I was disappointed to say the least. I wanted a hot meal. Not food that has been sitting in a warmer for hours. I spent $73 for my wife, my mother in law, and my food. Heck No it wasn't worth it. Next time we will find a hole in the wall Puerto Rican restaurant in a hood somewhere because those places have the best food. For those of y'all that are hyping this place up are wrong or have bad tastebuds.My wife and mother in law are Hispanic and we're very disappointed. For those that are here to read the post before you try them... Save yourself the time and go somewhere else.

We just moved to North Carolina and I was excited to find a Puerto Rican restaurant, but this sadly was not worth the hype. The food was served cold, even though we were the only ones there. The pork belly wasn't seasoned and didn't taste good. My daughter did enjoy her buffalo chicken empanada. The white rice and beans were okay, but would have been better hot. The best thing on my plate were the sweet plantains. Definitely not worth the money or time

The food here is absolutely delicious. I was craving puertorican food and found this gem. Want a Cubano? ✅ need a tostones fix? ✅. Ropa vieja, maduros the list goes on. Koki is the real deal.

We got the chicken sandwich and french fries it was absolutely disgusting.. The everything tastes like it been cooked in old oil The french fries tastes like they came out of a bag and the chicken sandwich was yendersfalling apart and on some really disgusting bread. This food has no soul. It's been packaged from other sources and put together. Nothing handmade. Absolutely disgusting...

Well, I didn’t take a picture of my fountain of youth salad but it was delicious. The salad didn’t need the dressing as the chicken and corn had enough seasoning and moisture. The buffalo and blue cheese empanadas were fire!! The dough was crispy and everything inside was moist. My husband had the eggplant dish with rice and bean with a tostones. No a single bite was left. Thank you for a wonderful meal. It felt like we were eating locally in PR. ❤️

Excellent food. Ive never had Puerto Rican food and it was amazing. My boyfriend spoke to the owner who was the nicest man. GO HERE!!! Be warned though, the fried cheese is for 4 people, not 2 people. In stuffed!It was also my first time eating pork which was also so amazing. The pink beans and rice I could eat forever.There is not much spice in the food as it comes, but still awesome!

I was delighted to find delicious Puerto Rican food while in the area for work. And now I've gone back a second time in a week, because the food is so good. Today, I got the full-sized Old Havana. It's delicious and two-meals worth of food for me. When I'm back in the area, I'll be back at Koki.

Today was not their day. Ordered the keto bowl and pork belly was mostly fat as shown in picture. Chimichurri sandwich had little to no chimichurri or flavor which was very disappointing compared to usual. Tostones ordered were not included. Only the empanada was up to their typical lquality. Just disappointing after wanting koki all day.Dietary restrictions: Keto bowl but it's pretty disappointing

Great authentic and creative Puerto Rican choices. Great sauces and large plates good for sharing. Lots of drink choices and dessert options. Fast and friendly service. Wish there was one closer. Can't wait to try more
