ABOUT KKO KKO NA RA
Authentic Korean Restaurant in Tanjong Pagar, Singapore
Kko Kko Na Ra is the original pioneer of Korean fried chicken in Singapore and one of the most established Korean restaurants in Tanjong Pagar, proudly serving authentic Korean food since 2008.
Located in the heart of Tanjong Pagar, Singapore’s well-known Korean dining district, Kko Kko Na Ra played a key role in shaping the area into what many now call Singapore’s Koreatown. Long before Korean BBQ and Korean cuisine became mainstream, we introduced locals and visitors to the true flavours of Korea.
Today, we are recognised as a trusted destination for Korean fried chicken, Korean BBQ, and traditional Korean dishes in Singapore.

Authentic Korean Food with Deep Heritage
Our recipes come from generations of Korean home cooking.
Many of our signature dishes are inspired by the founder’s mother from Jeolla-do (전라도), a region in Korea famous for producing some of the country’s best food. This culinary heritage defines our kitchen, rich flavours, careful preparation, and unwavering authenticity.
At Kko Kko Na Ra, we don’t simply serve Korean food.
We serve food the Korean way.

The First Soy Garlic Korean Fried Chicken in Singapore
Kko Kko Na Ra was the first Korean restaurant in Singapore to introduce the now-iconic Ma Neul Gan Jang (Korean Soy Garlic Chicken).
Our soy garlic chicken is prepared using:
-
Hand-crushed fresh garlic
-
Natural ingredients imported from Korea
-
A slow-cooked sauce recipe developed in-house
-
Crispy, juicy fried chicken made fresh to order
This dish has become one of the most searched and loved styles of Korean fried chicken in Singapore, and remains our signature best-seller today.
