Cocodec in Heidelberg

It takes forever for our food to arrive.

We can't say anything about the food because we waited so long that we just left. Kurt caught up: terrible service, dirty table that still wasn't cleaned up after 10 minutes and basic incompetence. Furthermore, while we were waiting for menus and a clean table, the couple next to us who wanted to order didn't want to be served... It's a shame, because the food is definitely not bad.

The staff is ridiculously bad organized. The waiting time is horrible and the dishes were served with light years apart. We lost all joy and suffered from olives in salad and suspicously spicy chicken. Probably not coming again.

Stay. Away. If you have any time pressure, kiss your appointment goodbye. Maybe you’ll get some good chicken, but it comes with a cost: your time, and your dignity. Let’s start at the beginning: After 30 minutes after being seated, we finally get to order using a QR code. Another 15 minutes, and we get the appetizers. But no utensils to eat with. That’s fine, we wanted to eat the appetizers with the main anyway… After waiting over an hour, no main, we finally ask: “where is our food”? Another 15 minutes pass, and finally we get something to the table. But not all of us, even though we ordered around the same time. Another 30 minutes pass until I finally get my dish. The rest of the table is already done. We have places to be, and have to split the party so I can stay and finish my meal. The whole time service was avoiding eye contact, and never offered an apology, not even empathy. Eating here felt like a punishment. It was extremely frustrating as we have been coming here for years, but what’s the price of good chicken? Apparently at least 2 hours of your time and miserable, unprofessional service. Side-note: the bathrooms reminded me of my student dorm days.

Beautifully located, at the foot of the old bridge in Heidelberg. Small, quaint shop with a cozy, rustic outdoor area. The food is perfect, tastes very tasty and doesn't take long. It takes 5 minutes to understand the map 😅, but once it clicks, it's very obvious. However, you should be able to speak English or Korean. Prices are okay. All in all, recommended!

Delicious Korean-Style Fried Chicken! Food & Drinks: - Korean fried chicken with different seasonings, marinades and sauces - a decent selection of beers and wines and also Korean alcoholic drinks, such as Soju Service: - friendly, attentive - kind, welcoming - paying attention to our extra wishes :) Location: - in the middle of Heidelberg city centre, very close to the Alte Brücke and Universitätsplatz - easy to get there with public transportation - some seats inside with air conditioning and heating - some seats outside in the shade Personal Highlight: - Boneless Fried Chicken in a Very Spicy Soy Sauce and Garlic Marinade with Rice and a Cold Bottle of Soju - When you order chicken, the side dishes are included. It’s pickled radish / „chicken mu“ and either rice or fried potatoes. I‘ve been to other Korean fried chicken places where you needed to order that extra. So I think it’s wonderful that at Cocodec it’s already included! Cocodec is THE place to go if you want to enjoy Korean fried chicken. I‘ve been there a couple of times now and their food has never disappointed me. I‘d even say it’s the best Korean fried chicken place in the Rhein-Neckar region. They have changed their ordering system, you‘ll receive a QR code via which you can order food and drinks. At first, I was sceptical, but in the end I was convinced that the digital ordering system works wonderfully fine. Kudos to the two super-friendly employees who quickly reacted to our extra wishes (getting us chopsticks and an extra large portion of „chicken mu“ / pickled radish). —> state of the review: September 2024

Ate there once and immediately became addicted to this incredibly delicious chicken! The mandu are delicious every time. We come here regularly. Sometimes the food is delivered quickly, sometimes it takes a little longer but otherwise you can't complain. The toilets are a bit dark and sometimes not as clean as they should be.

Boring, tasteless and loveless. The taste of frozen food from the penny. The service was friendly, but didn't speak German. You had to place the order with your cell phone - catastrophic, what's the point? Cheeky: 0.4l discount apple spritzer for €5. Never again!

I used to love going to Cocodec but the new management decreased portion sizes and you can't seem to refill rice or the pickled horse radish. Not to mention this time I went to eat the server expected a tip and my partner and I got diarrhea the next morning. Never happened before in Cocodec and I won't be eating there again until they sort themselves out.

Excellent place to eat and hang out with family, friends, couples, recommendable beautiful place where it is located

It was so delicious and the location was so pretty that you could see the bridge! I ate it with soy sauce and cozine flavor and I was very satisfied! i did it. The salad is delicious and the dumplings are delicious too~~

Is it possible for it to be this crispy even with the soy sauce skinned Yangnyeong on it? It's so delicious... It goes well with green onion salad... Cozzening chicken..it’s better than Pburinkle! I think Cokodaek is the best chicken in Germany!! I am satisfied with everything from salad to steamed dumplings. Calling for beer... After all, chicken and beer is the truth..👍👍👍

The food is great. Unfortunately the toilets are quite dingy.

A very bad and unfriendly experience with Lieferando restaurant pickup service. The system says I can pick up at 12:35pm for two meals, but when I arrive at 12:45pm the waiter tells me no! It's 1:15 p.m., I have to wait another 30 minutes, that's not their fault, it's Lieferando's. The unfriendly waiter made everything worse.

Dirty and unfriendly. Toilet super dirty and disgusting. Staff only speaks English and is rude. We're in Heidelberg, so you should speak German. Portions are ok, but carelessly served in a bowl.

Seasoned chicken and soy sauce chicken are delicious!

Oh my, the chicken is fried well and crispy. Goes well with rice. Served with chicken and radish

I have rarely seen such a dirty toilet in a restaurant. I was really disgusted by touching anything. Your glasses also come to the table dirty, so I don't want to know what the kitchen looks like. According to my husband, the food was good, but from the feel of it, the pannade or sauce was very sugary. We definitely won't be coming back here.

Their chicken is unbelievably JUICYYYY and flavorful, served with a variety of mouth-watering sauces, plus a boneless option for an easy feast.🤤🤤The spring onions add a perfect crunch that cuts through the richness, and don’t get me started on their mandus — absolutely divine. A must visit if you love Korean fried chicken and you’re in Heidelberg!! @thehungrylizzard

I was disappointed with the Stuttgart Soban... I didn't go to the Soban very often, but I came with an acquaintance who said the Heidelberg Soban was good... but the mindu came out hard. In other words, the frozen dumplings came out undercooked... Was it just the day I visited? The vegetables that came with the salad came out with their color already slightly faded. They weren't fresh... Hello, Soban...

Very nice atmosphere, recommended outside with a view of the old bridge. Eat good. The service bad. Zero enthusiasm…

Everything excellent. Friendly staff and tasty food!

Very delicious chicken, but price is a little high

I love Korean cuisine. The portions are decent, the service is calm and friendly. When it comes to the ambience, I have to say, we were lucky; there wasn't much going on in the small inner courtyard with a view of the Neckar. We were very satisfied. Didn't have to wait long for the food either. At the beginning we were given a QR code which we used to order our food. And now I'm not entirely sure, my sister paid when I went for little girls, but I think I read that only card payment is possible. But I don't want to put my hand in the fire for that. Just in case there is someone for whom this could be relevant.

I waited for 30 minutes but they didn't give me any menu or order, not recommended for tourists or people where time is important. (Go if you can wait an hour) And the service is terrible. (People who came later took their orders first)

Nice service, but not really tasty and quite expensive. The system that allows you to order everything without service is also bad in a restaurant where you actually need a little advice

Service horrible, no one come to take order for 30 minutes. in the end we have to get up and call for attention. toilet super dirty.

Excellent Korean fried chicken! Very nice view while dinning in the yard. 🍗😊👍🏻

Decent Korean food at good rates. It tastes delicious, however ramen tasted like store brought packs. Chicken and rice combos are the best.

Die Restaurants Soban und Cocdec gehören zusammen. Leider ist es so: das Hühnchen gibt es nur im Cocodec und alles andere gibt es in Soban. So war es problematisch, weil einer von uns eigentlich kein frittiertes Hühnchen mag. Sie waren im Soban sehr freundlich und ließen uns wieder gehen und erklärten uns den Weg zum Cocodec. Man läuft ca. 5 Minuten. Man sitzt sehr schön, mit Ausblick auf den Neckar. Sehr schön ruhig im Biergarten. Die Bedienung sprach kein Deutsch. Man bekam einen QR-Code und konnte alles auf seinem Smartphone bestellen. Scharf heißt scharf. Ich hatte allerdings Glück: meins wurde durch feine Chillistreifen geschärft, so dass man das in dem Reis abkratzen konnte. So ließ es sich erträglich essen. Bei dem anderen Essen musste man schon die Panade runterkratzen, bevor man es essen konnte. Am Besten den eingelegten Rettich (sehr lecker) nicht sofort essen, sondern warten und ihn als Neutralisierer nutzen. Viel asiatisches Publikum. Das ist ein gutes Zeichen.

The chicken is delicious, but I think the fries are too fried and too dry. As for the wedge potatoes... (I think there are several reviews saying they are dry), I think it would be better if the potatoes were a little bigger. The seasoning was spicy and delicious^^ Korean food is so delicious and I love it. This part is disappointing. Next time, I want to eat more moist chicken.

Food was very tasty. Service was a bit slow, we had to wait for one hour after ordering eve though not so many people. Recommend to the one who is not in hurry.

Very tasty and authentic Korean food. Best Korean Fried Chicken. The chicken is very juicy and tender. So far we have never been disappointed here. The place is also great. We always enjoy coming here.🌟

Very poor quality and am very disappointed! The chicken is very very dry. There was no breading on the chicken. Would rather eat chicken schnitzel somewhere else. soon.

Starters and main course were brought together so that the plates almost fell off the table. Unfortunately, the chicken was fried to death and very dry, and the breading was sometimes rock hard. The salad (leaf lettuce with corn and olives) didn't fit at all with the rest (Korean) and looked different on the menu. Unfortunately it is also very uncomfortable because the guests speak against the relatively loud music. This creates a charm of the station hall.

Fried chicken is okay compared to other Korean restaurants I've visited. However, the price is a bit high for what you get. However, the view is very nice.

Very tasty Korean chicken. For me, every visit is always a culinary experience. Super tasty and good value for money. I am very happy to be your guest.

Delicious and also a nice atmosphere outside. I recommend choosing the dishes with 2 people. Is price management better.

They have only one vegetarian option. There are good options for chicken but now they have become pricey and reduced the quantity.

Food is good, however waited for an hour.

Absolute juice shop. The staff is completely overwhelmed and the Korean chef is constantly shouting.

Service is firstly mediocre at best. They don't respond well. Them food, Rameyon is basically instant noodles, I ordered tea which is basically from a packet which I can buy at supermarket. Even chicken wasn't that delicious. Overall not a good resturant

Food: Best 👍 Place: Best 👍 Service: Best 👍 Atmosphere: Best 👍 Price: Fair 👍

Fried chicken paradise. Almost like in Seoul. Large portions and price/performance is absolutely right. The house could also use a sign etc from the outside, hard to find..

The owner was really nice and kindly taught me how to take the bus. Even if I come again next time, I will definitely come here!!!

So I'm really disappointed!! I've been ordering here since 2018 and have the feeling the quality has gotten worse and worse over the years. Ordered the spicy chicken today, it used to be COMPLETELY covered in red hot sauce but recently it's been really dry. Absolutely NO sauce to be found on the chicken!? And for the price it's not possible, I'm really speechless. In addition, orders are so often taken incorrectly that you get something that you didn't order at all. I would really like the dishes to be prepared like before, otherwise I really can't recommend it!

It's really friendly and the atmosphere is nice~

The owner is so kind and gives directions well and is the best🥹🥹❤️❤️ May you prosper👍👍❤️❤️ Thank you so much :)

The new menu coprim and cosoning, as well as the other chicken varieties, are honestly very tasty! I can highly recommend it!

I heard that new menu items, Koprem and Cosning, were coming out so I tried them and they were really delicious! I ate several kinds of dumplings and they were all delicious :) The staff were all so friendly, it's been a while since I had a good meal!

Excellent fried chicken. They have one specialty that looks like cheddar seasing, and this is out of this world. Very recommended.

Amazing food, big portions for great price but service sadly is slow due to lack of employees on rush hour. But they are always nice and polite.

한국인 알바생과 사장님이 있어서 마음이 좀 반가웠어요 이역만리에서 치킨집이라니 너무 신선했어요 밥과 감자가 사이드로 나와서 배가 너무 불렀고 남은거 포장할수 있게도 도와 주셨어요 소스는 고추장 베이스 같은 맛이 났어요 아쉬운점은 메뉴에 대해 물어보기가 불편했던점..? (점원을 부르려면 웹사이트에서 콜을 눌러야만 할것같은) 말고는 다 좋았어요 추천이에요 🩷

오랜만에 치킨 너무 맛있었긴한데 치킨에 염지가 많이되어 있어서 좀 짭니다 여기애들 현지화겠죠??

Koreanisches Restaurant in der Altstadt spezialisiert auf frittiertes Hühnchen. Was ich gut finde, dass man kostenlos Reis dazu bekommt. So wird man bei den Portionen ordentlich satt. Auch finde ich gut, dass man die Wahl hat das Hühnchen auch ohne Knochen zu bestellen. Was mich hier allerdings stark stört, dass die Location vor allem außen stark heruntergekommen ist. Aber auch das Personal war nicht bemüht die Tische abzuräumen. So standen überall an den Tischen um uns herum dreckiges Geschirr, was einfach nicht abgeräumt wurde.

Super netter Chef! Super leckeres Essen! Lange Wartezeit... Inkompetente tollpatschige und aunaufmerksame Kellnerinnen... Kann man gut essen gehen wenn man Zeit und Durchsetzungsvermögen hat.

하이델베르크 뿐만 아니라 다른 도시에서도 찾아올만큼 유명한 한국식 치킨집입니다. 후라이드, 양념, 마늘, 간장 등등 다양한 메뉴가 있고, 치킨에 감자튀김이나 밥을 곁들여줍니다. 간장마늘 양념이 특히 맛있습니다. 참고로 반반세트를 시키면 밥/감튀 선택이 안되고 감자가 나옵니다.

Gehen öfter hierher, sehr nette Bedienung und lecker essen 😀

Koreanisch muss man einfach probieren. Echt lecker 😋

I had the pleasure of trying the Korean fried chicken with a side of potato fries at this delightful establishment. While I typically don't pair fries with chicken, this experience was a revelation. The fries were absolutely outstanding, perfectly complementing the succulent chicken. I can't recommend this combination enough! This restaurant is truly a gem when it comes to savoring authentic Korean fried chicken.

Das essen war ok. Ich hatte Yangnyeom mit Knochen bestellt, aber habe ich ein Stück Knochen (fast) ohne Fleisch bekommen. Sonst war das Hähnchenfleisch ein wenig trocken, jedoch der Geschmack war gut.

Quite mediocre ramyon - cooked from supermarket ramyon.

-Getränke wurden erst eine Stunde nach Bestellung gebracht. -Völlig unorganisiertes und ungeschultes Personal. (Mehr Leergängen als das eigentliche Bedienen, sehr unfreundlich) -Da die Bedienung so unfähig war, musste der verschmutzte Koch das Essen an die Tische bringen . -Nach über 1,5 h warten und ohne Ende in Sicht mussten wir die Bestellung stornieren und in ein anderes Restaurant.

Tolles Geschmack und Service! Super!!

韩国炸鸡配啤酒，炸鸡味道很棒，也可以说是海德堡的炸鸡天花板，分量也很大，价格适中，就是店里很多小飞虫，烦得很，平时不是很多人，去到就有位置

맛있는 한국식 치킨! 친절하고 너무 맛있어요 nice place

Wandered in on an exceptionally busy night...service was still excellent & fast, staff was polite ( even tho they were stressed out!) Fried chicken w sweet soy sauce was absolutely delicious, we ate every bite! Chicken was crispy & tasty...very glad we stopped here. Prices fair for quantity, nice family atmosphere. Highly recommend 👍👍

Das Essen war gut. Allerdings war das Service Personal total überfordert. Teilweise war Küchenpersonal als Servicekraft im Einsatz. Wegen zu langer Wartezeiten hatten Gäste von umliegenden Tischen ihre bestellten Speisen abbestellt und sind gegangen. Unverständlich auch, dass wir bestimmte Speisen nicht ordern konnten, dafür aber der Tisch der nach uns dran war dann schon und diese auch bekommen haben.

This is the first time that I feel a one star rating too good for a restaurant. I have never met such unfriendly waiters ever. They had no patience, didn’t even want to listen to you. And they were very hard to communicate because it seemed that they didn’t understand German nor English. It took us 30 minutes to get our drinks(during this half hour, we asked them 4 times, and at the fourth time we realized our order was not even noted down). 50 minutes after we placed our order, we were told that we had to wait for at least another 50 minutes. We arrived at this restaurant before the pick time. And we saw other tables got their drinks and food before us even when they arrived later than us. There was no explanation at all! It seemed that this restaurant was not very friendly to customers who came with kids. They had only one baby seat… By the way, the table was quite dirty even though the waitress has ‘cleaned’ it before we sit down. Honestly, if they didn’t want to take non-European or non-Korean customers, especially with kids, they could have told us before we sit down and wasted our time.

아주 살짝 닭냄새가 났지만 맛있게 잘 먹었습니다. 야외 테라스자리 뷰도 좋구요~

One of my favorite restaurants! Very delicious fried chicken and friendly service. Update: Unfortunately, it’s not one of my favorites anymore. When they have started serving boneless chicken the flavor has changed, and it’s not as tasty as before. There is something missing, I’m not sure what it is. I assume they have changed some of the ingredients or might be the Chef. Update 2: I’m thrilled to report that things have taken a positive turn. The fried chicken is now back to its delicious best, and I dare say, it’s even better than before! The service remains as friendly and welcoming as it always has been.

Noch so gut wie früher, super leckere Gerichte, schickes Ambiente und wirklich süß liebe Kellner/innen 😊 Auch Hähnchen ohne Knochen zu bestellen, ist einfach ein quality of life improvement 👍

The sweet sour chicken is not recommendable, and the garlic soy sauce chicken was ok. The thing I found nice were the pickled radish cubes (chicken mu) served for free. They didn't have any bingsu when I tried ordering them (Sept 10th). Other than that, the waitresses were very nice, and the restaurant was well decorated with great view of the river.

Great place for yum yum chicken! Only one like it around. €12-14 for a 2 person plate of chicken isn't so bad. The binsu is awesome!

Bestes Chicken der Stadt. Und direkt am Neckar. Nur würde ich mich über mehr Variationen freuen.

Sehr viel Tiefkühl-Ware und Instant-Zeug! Verstehe diese Koreaner nicht, die irgendwas random machen. Mach doch mal bitte was gutes.

Fried chicken ist richtig gut, der Rest is mittelmäßig.

Jungteak hat uns toll bedient und beraten

I've been here 5 times already and I keep coming back for more. I usually order item 10 on the menu, because it allows me to pick two versions out all they offer. They come with potato chips, but I usually order a portion of rice. You can also ask to takeaway if you can't finish your portion without problem. I would recommend that you try to make a reservation as it can get quite busy. Also take note that the only cards they accept are EC Cards. They also take cash, so make sure you have some on you if you don't have a Girocard.

Leckeres Hühnchen und Nudelsuppe. Location ist nicht ganz so schön zum essen, sieht mehr nach Party als nach Restaurant aus. Die Musik war auch sehr laut und unangenehm, vor allem leider nicht koreanisch! Eher so unterirdische deutsche "Pop-Musik". Die Bedienung war sehr nett. Und hat uns sogar gefragt ob die Musik zu laut ist und dann freundlicherweise leiser gedreht. Vielleicht für junges Publikum besser geeignet, wir wollten einfach nur lecker essen, das hatten wir. Auswahl ist relativ klein, siehe Speisekarte.

한국에서 먹던 그맛… 고향의 맛 무까지… 너무 훌륭합니다.

Meine Frau und ich waren Sonntagmittag dort. Wir waren die ersten Gäste. Nachdem wir Platz genommen und danach gefragten hatten, ob wir bestellen durften, warf eine asiatisch aussehende Kellnerin die Speisenkarten einfach auf Tisch und ging ohne Wort. Das Essen war so lala, die Bedienung war zum Kotzen und es war echt kalt im Restaurant. Darauffolgend entschieden wir uns, der Kellnerin kein Trinkgeld zu geben. Nachdem wir die Rechnung von 40 Euro kontaktlos mit EC-Karte bezahlten, verschwand die Kellnerin sofort mit dem Gerät, so dass wir nicht mal die Zeit hatten, nach Quittung zu fragen. Zu diesem Zeitpunkt gab es 6 bis 8 Gäste im Restaurant, außer ihr gibt es noch eine zweite Kellnerin. Deswegen war es für uns unverständlich, warum sie sofort weggelaufen war. Später als wir zu Hause waren, stellten wir fest, dass 43 Euro anstatt 40 Euro vom Konto abgebucht wurde! Diese Frau hat heimlich ohne unsere Zustimmung, 3 Euro, einkassiert. So was zu machen wegen 3 Euro? Machen sie das Gleiche bei anderen Kunden auch? Es ist schon zu viel, dem Restaurant mit einem Punkt zu bewerten. Die Kellnerin ist eine Betrügerin!

Sehr sehr sehr schlechte Erfahrung gestern. Die kleinere Mitarbeiterin (es gab 2) hatte überhaupt keine Lust zu arbeiten, kein Gruss, kein Lächeln, gab keine Antwort zurück, ABER sie hat am Ende selber 7,5% Trinkgeld kassiert ohne uns zu fragen! Die Zahlung war kontaktlos, deshalb gaben wir es nicht sofort gemerkt. Es war eine Unverschämtheit! Der Raum war kalt und das Essen war auch nur normal. Ich rate ein Besuch ab!
