    Fried chicken
    Michelle M.

    Delicious! We were seated right away for an afternoon meal. Our server was very nice and the ambiance is simple. It seems like a family runned business and we enjoy supporting small businesses. They have a t.v. playing music in the background. We decided to share the kimchi pork belly, fried chicken and the hot pot soup. Each of us received a small bowl of rice to go along with our food. The fried chicken included big pieces. The seasoning and spice on the Kimchi pork belly was just right. Someone in our group did mention they wish there was less fat on the pork belly. Everything was delicious and felt fresh. 3 of us shared each of the plates. I'd definitely come back.

    Army Stew
    Stephanie L.

    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.

    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.

    LA short ribs and Brisket Soon Tofu, delicious!
    Sandra P.

    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.

    Bossam
    Jen C.

    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!

    Table for 5
    Pauline C.

    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.

    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.

    An absolute gem!!! Family run restaurant - the dad works in the kitchen great flavors, great food, SO GOOD!!! Highly recommend. This place feels like a true hidden gem

    Battered fried chicken
    Mau M.

    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!

    Pork belly & ribeye
    Katherine D.

    The service was so friendly, quick, polite, and helpful! The food omg is one of the best Korean food in town!!! Finally!!! You cannot go wrong with anything on the menu. Everything is flavorful. Tastes very much true to Korean cuisine. I love this place!

    Banchan
    Bethany R.

    What a treat for southwest bakersfield! First time here and it was so so yummy. Service was fast and friendly and food came out fast. The restaurant itself is smaller but not tiny and has a good amount of seating. I enjoyed the banchan, kimchi pancake, and bibimbap all were so delicious. It was filling and a great price. I will be back with friends!

    Edward L.

    Friendly service and freshly made. The waiter was very patient in explaining to me all my silly questions. Generous Banchan portions and authentic flavors.

    Sides
    Analyn A.

    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!

It was a very rich and semi-sweet hot chocolate with a hint of cinnamon, just like my momma makes it. My sister had the Dubai-style hot chocolate, which had a pistachio topping; she had no complaints. We also decided to try the Dubai style chocolate covered strawberries; the strawberries were a bit tart, but the toppings were all delicious. Just a heads up, they are an outdoor-only seating establishment, so come prepared. They do, however, have good lighting and patio heaters to help. It tends to stay pretty busy, especially on weekend nights, so wait times can be a little long, but they are worth the wait.

Inside has a gray, modern aesthetic and some seating from bar stools to tables with chairs + booth. I think the ambiance is good to stay and chat with friends for awhile. Lots of options on the menu, the cashier was nice, customer service 4/5. Ordered Matcha Oreo Slush ($7.95), 2.5/5. It was sweet from the crushed oreos and chocolate drizzle on the side. Besides that, the slush itself didn't have too much of a taste, either too icy or milky. Costs $1 for water+ice cup. Ordered 3 piece Boong O Pang ($9.95 + $2 flavors), 2/5 . They were slightly crispy on the edges but mostly soft. I ordered the Oreo Nutella (+$1) which was my favorite though it didn't have too much Nutella filling. Next was regular custard which it appears they used a type of custard that's very sweet and more of a jello consistency. Last was Strawberry Custard (+$1), unfortunately it appears they used chunks of strawberries that either were out too long or stewed in something as the strawberries were very sour and soggy and tasted a bit fermented. It was these strawberry bits with the regular custard but the strawberries threw me off so I ended up not finishing. The underwhelming flavors on the inside and the lack of crisp on the outside made these soggy desserts that I would not order again.

We tried a variety of baked goods, the honeycomb bread is sooooo dang good!

Good sure, but I can't really describe how it is unique. The baklava, certainly, provided this rich information. Compared to other baklavas it was drier and crunchier in a way that was satisfying and light. I would prefer to eat this baklava if I was watching my sugar and calories, which coincidently I currently am. Other baklavas are more decadent and syrup/sugar heavy. I was left with a want for more out of how light and delicious they are. I hope to try their cake offerings soon! Would return to continue trying their menu and would love to see a no straw option for the lid along with a more sustainable cup!
