Koja Grille located at 1600 N Broad Street is a Korean and Japanese fast food style restaurant. It is located in the heart of Temple University campus and offers good mix of both Korean and Japanese food for take outs and sit-in.
I had dinner at Koja about a month ago with my brother and couple friends who were students at Temple. We happened to go there by chance as all the other places we tried were closed for that day. It turned out to be a very pleasant visit and I look forwarded to have a full fledged meal the next time.
I just ordered 8 of their Asian Wings as I already had my dinner. It was about 9:30 PM and I am not student to wait that long for dinner. The others with me order the Soft Tofu Soup (Chigae) and Clear Noodles with Chicken (Job Chae).
The wings were some of the best I had in Philadelphia. There were soft, crispy, sweet and spicy, and juicy. They worked perfect for me. My friends liked what they had. The service was good. The quantity was also well portioned. I thought the wings were a bit pricier at $6.99($7.5 with tax) for 8 wings, but I am willing to pay the premium for those tasty wings. A typical entree on the menu was about $9 with is not bad and in line with other restaurant offering Korean and Japanese food.
The distance from Center City could be a factor. The website is simple, orderly and well maintained. I found from their website that they originally started out as a cart in the University City area at 38th st and between Walnut and Sansom St. I will definitely give this cart a try the next time I am in University City.
TO.DO: I have a reminder for myself to search and upload the pictures of the food that we had.
