BOK Chicken's Rise: From Social Media Buzz to 21 Branches Strong

Remember 2020? Yeah, rough year. But in the midst of the chaos, a delicious rebellion began on Alabang-Zapote Road. Enter BOK KOREAN FRIED CHICKEN, not your typical restaurant, but a brand that began as a Kitchen Hub with a mission: to conquer the world (okay, maybe just your taste buds) starting with boneless fried chicken.

Forget fancy silverware and stuffy vibes, BOK started bare-bones, without a storefront, relying solely on social media buzz and word-of-mouth. Receiving around 15-20 orders a day was already a cause for celebration! But hey, every journey starts with a single bite, and for BOK, that bite was pure, crispy, flavorful magic.

The Secret Sauce? More Than Just Flavor

It wasn’t just the mouthwatering chicken (though, let’s be honest, that’s a big part of it). BOK’s secret sauce was a diverse group of 5 DLSU buddies, each with different backgrounds, but a shared passion for good food and good times. Their CEO? A food-flipping pro since 2015! (and yes, 2015 is almost a decade ago?!). They knew their recipe for success: keep it simple (fried & juicy!), keep it saucy (endless choices!), keep it fast (no time to waste!), and keep it branded (BOK, baby!).

From Humble Kitchen to Takeoff Mode

BOK set its sights beyond a single location. They teamed up with one of the BIGGEST commissaries in the Philippines to scale up while maintaining the quality that made their “BOKada” (that’s you!) fall in love. Their commitment to crafting the perfect bite was recently recognized by GrabFood, awarding BOK the 2023 Fan Faves award for their Double Double Box!

BOKada? You’re in!

Treating you like a true friend is engraved in BOK’s identity. They believe in respect, camaraderie, and creating experiences that leave you smiling (and maybe a little greasy-fingered). That’s why they transformed some stores into vibrant dine-in spaces, bursting with energy, friendly faces, and the aroma of freshly cooked fried chicken.

BOK understands the struggle of late-night cravings. Whether you’re a study warrior pulling an all-nighter, a night owl, or just someone who enjoys eating at any hour, BOK’s got your back with their doors open till 3 am.

More Than Just Chicken, It’s an Experience

BOK isn’t a one-trick pony. They offer a menu that goes beyond fried chicken, creating a welcoming environment with approachable storefronts and staff who are as friendly as your favourite cousin (the cool one, not the weird one).

The BOKada Mission: Food, Friends, and Fun

Success hasn’t changed BOK’s core values: customer commitment, top-notch quality, and a never-ending hunger for innovation. They’re constantly pushing the envelope with new products, staff training, and a commitment to staying ahead of the curve.
