From Food Truck to Brick-and-Mortar đźšš
Kokio Republic began as a food truck in 2014, famous for Korean fried chicken. In 2023, we opened our restaurant, serving more flavors with draft beer.
Our Journey from Food Truck to Restaurant
Kokio Republic started in 2014 as a small food truck in San Francisco. We had one goal—to bring the best Korean-style fried chicken to the city. Our crispy, flavorful chicken quickly gained a following, along with our signature Kimchi Ball and Garlic Cheese Fries. For three years, we served our food on the go, but we knew we wanted something more.
Finding Our Home in San Francisco
In 2017, we made the tough choice to close our food truck, but we never gave up on our dream. After years of planning and hard work, we found the perfect space at 711 Geary St in San Francisco. In 2023, Kokio Republic finally had a permanent home, and we couldn’t be more excited to serve our customers in a new way.

At Kokio Republic, we bring bold Korean flavors to every dish. From our crispy fried chicken tacos to our savory bulgogi beef, every bite is packed with amazing taste.
