There's surprisingly a great amount of Korean options in Bakersfield! I really like K Pocha. I ordered takeout but when I arrived, there were a good number of people eating inside. I ordered some soondubu and the potato pancakes. It was my first time having potato pancakes, since I normally get seafood pancakes. It was interesting, because they're kind of like latkes. Very simple with a little bit of onion in them. The banchan was great and the food was packed nicely. It was a real treat! I will definitely be back! read more

Definitely one of the best Korean restaurants around. They give proper portion and numbers of side dishes and most of their main entrees are pretty good. My favorites are their seafood pancake, mung bean pancake and Korean chicken wings - which goes perfectly with mak-ghol-li(unfiltered rice wine). If you haven't tried, try the chestnut rice wine - and thank me later. read more

We had family in town and they wanted Korean food. Went early afternoon on a Saturday and we were seated right away. Food was delicious and the service was great! The place is clean with Korean music in the background playing from a TV. Definitely a great choice for Korean food. read more

This is a small unassuming and casual restaurant. Quiet music plays in the background. Charles, my server, was so very polite and attentive. I ordered the main dish #6 Spicy Chicken, it's marinated with sliced vegetables, rice included. I ordered mine lightly spicy and wish I had been a bit bolder with the spice. The chicken had a delightful flavor, it was moist, tender & perfectly cooked. My meal started with small servings of Kimchi, steamed umami broccoli, Kewpie mayo potato salad & marinated zucchini, delish! They have a menu with many tasty options. I will definitely be back soon to try more of their delicious options. Try them, you'll be glad you did. read more

Had a great date night here a few weeks ago. I've been here in the past but hadn't been here since the new menu came out. I wanted my guy to try Korean food for the first time. I am happy to report that he enjoyed the experience as well as the meal. Introduced the Bhan Chan and the LA short ribs and soon tofu. It was a great meal and I'm looking forward to trying some of the new items. read more

I absolutely love Korean food and K Pocha is my favorite place in Bako to get it! I came on a weekend around 8pm for a late dinner. There were a couple other tables when we arrived, so we were immediately seated. The inside was very clean and comforting. We ordered the bossam and a fried rice dish to share. The bossam was super tender and flavorful. The fried rice was also quite delicious, but the bossam was the star. Overall, we had a great experience and I'll definitely be back for more! read more

Food was amazing really flavorful good portions appetizer's amazing they have a special sauce so good hospitality and service was great nice guy really helpful place is clean good atmosphere overall 10/10 recommend. read more

staff comes by quick for refills, extra orders, and other requests without need to raise your hand. they know when guests are deep in conversation and to intervene in a way that is quick, and thus, not disruptive. contentiously monitoring from the side to ensure all guest's needs are addressed. food was super duper yummy, especially the tteokboki. Had wayyyyy too much cheese for the cheese tteokboki that there was not as tteokboki as wanted. not too loud and love the homage to older, well-loved Korean movie posters as decorations. an overall good time, especially with the background K-pop music videos playing. Extremely surprised no World Cup games playing bc I feel like this would have been the perfect venue for that, too read more

Love this place! Their Kim Chi is by far my favorite. The service is always exceptional.. read more

I recommend this place for anyone who loves authentic Korean food. The portion sizes are a descent size. We were a party of 5 and we shared 4 entrees and a tteokbokkk appetizer. The tteokbokki was cooked perfectly but i wish it had a creamier sauce! The short rib was very flavorful and not over cooked. The restaurant is pretty small and they get busy. Unfortunately our waiter didn't check on us much. Their banchan was delicious and i wish we were able to get a few refills on our tables favorite ones. All in all I do plan on coming back and i can't wait to try more items on their menu. read more

I appreciate the cuisine. It has a home cooked meal vibe to it, and the staff is very nice and attentive

A nice small korean restaurant with plenty of options, We came for the first time on friday night and just after seating, the place really kicked up. there was a nice atmosphere with music and good conversation. Service was a tad slow getting our drinks and order but the food made up for it. The tteokbokki was really good and the rice cakes were soft and bouncy and not too spicy, i do wish there was a rose tteokbokki option. The marinated boneless short rib had lots of flavor and retained the juices really well! my favorite was the beef brisket soft tofu soup, which was absolutely delicious, it had a generous helping of thin beef brisket, loads of soft tofu and a nice egg yolk in the center and green onions, overall the dish was flavorful, hot and filled me right up. All dishes came with banchan and rice. read more

Yummy authentic Korean food run by a happy family! My boy Chris serving up dubs each day! The korean army stew is a must try! Its like hot spicy soup with american cheese on top. Yes.... Cheese. It works. TrustttttttTTTt~ Also try the kimchi fried rice, bibimbappity bap, and of course the beef ribs. Make sure you pair the meal off with some Soju for the perfect end to your tired night. read more

Don't be fooled by the exterior. While outside, it looks like just any other restaurant, their Korean food here is so authentic and probably one of the best in town. They serve banchan while waiting for your food. Everything is so flavorful and I always loved the variety, giving your palate different flavor profiles, getting you ready for your meal. Their battered fried chicken is perfectly seasoned and tender. Their bibimbap is equally good, just make sure you put the right amount of sauce and mix well! My husband and I shared both and we still had enough to take home. Customer service is excellent as well! Definitely going back! read more

If you're craving Korean food you need to come here. It's sits on the corner of the shopping center and is a great find, searching for it will be worth it ! Sides were perfect, and fried chicken had the perfect crunch with great flavor, sauce on it was sticky perfection. Beef tofu soup flavors have depth and that kick of spice to warm you up. Bibimbap was very good but next till I will ask for the hot stone, missed the burnt bits of rice at the bottom I didn't think about when I asked for a cold bowl.... Shrimp fried rice didn't have giant shrimp but was shrimp was plentiful and flavor was great! Go once... You'll find yourself going back! We'll definitely be coming here often! read more

If you like delicious Korean traditional food and a quiet place to enjoy your meal. I recommend this place. It's a small restaurant. It's perfect for me. The way I like it. Hopefully it stays this way. Everything we ordered was delicious. We ordered beef rib bone soup, Bibimbap. Japchae, steam egg. I haven't had the seafood pancake, must use the sauce to have a little bit more taste, like sticky it's ok. I'm just not used to that kind of pancake.. I love the banchan/side dishes, kimchi, spicy pickled cucumber, etc. The white "noodles" with a mayo taste are Kelp Noodle Salad (Cheonsachae), and the thin, non-spicy strips are likely seasoned fish cake strips. Other restaurants doesn't serve that. The service, they're nice and friendly. The helper didn't get our order for drinks correct, but I think the owner corrected it. I guess he couldn't understand my husband probably pronunciation. We got the orders in time, but it's almost closing. read more

The food is really tasty, we went in on the way back home from LA and it's pretty late (nearly close to closing time). The staff were kind and friendly. The waiter even gave us more side dishes as refills. Love their fish cake side dish and Napa cabbage Kimchi. We ordered "stone pot Bibimbap"," Corn Cheese", and "Army Stew". Corn cheese and Stone pot bibimbap were really nice and tasty. Army stew was still good yet could done better. Overall, this restaurant is 10/10. read more

This was our second time at K Pocha and it did not disappoint! We ordered 3 dishes for our table (3 adults and 1 infant) and it was more than enough food, we even had leftovers. We ordered the shrimp pancake, bibimbap, and the marinated sliced beef ribeye (served with rice and multiple sides), beer, and makgeolli (sparkling rice wine, served in a cute teapot to share). Everything was fresh, tasty, and filling. Our waiter was so kind and accommodating- he quickly brought us a high chair, a water cup with a lid, and even plastic utensils for our baby. The restaurant doesn't seem like much from the outside, but the service is great, the food is delicious, and the inside is very clean. You'll should definitely check it out if you haven't already! read more

This is THE best Korean restaurant in Bakersfield. Earthing is fresh and authentic in flavor, and the kitchen is staffed with the couple who own the place with their son serving front of house. After living in Seoul and frequenting Koreatown in LA, I'm confident in my assessment of this place. read more

So,so,so good! The brisket soon tofu was incredibly comforting. Soft, velvety tofu in a flavorful broth with the perfect amount of heat. It was loaded with tender brisket, squash, and carrots, and felt like it was made with care. The Bossam pork belly was equally good tender, rich, and paired perfectly with the fresh, crisp cabbage and pickled raddish. The banchan were all excellent, including kimchi, radish, cucumber, broccoli, bean sprouts, and seaweed salad. Everything was fresh, generous, and well-seasoned. I'll definitely be coming back soon! read more
