Koko Korean Food

Head down Grape Lane towards the harbour and you'll find yourself in front of Koko, where they're doing genuine Korean food without any pretence. The sort of place where locals keep coming back because the Korean fried chicken actually cracks—crispy exterior, juicy inside—and the bibimbap arrives properly hot in that stone bowl, rice crackling at the bottom just as it should. You're looking at proper banchan with every meal, attentive service that doesn't fuss, and prices that won't sting. It's become the go-to for anyone in Whitby who's had actual Korean food before and knows the difference between this and the approximation you get elsewhere.
