Came here during a weekday lunch hour as I heard they had pretty cost effective katsu lunch specials. Ordered the chicken katsu, came with two thin chicken katsu, rice, potatoes, & coleslaw. The chicken was drizzled with a savoury katsu sauce. About $12 total for the meal itself, in a time like now, that's hard to come by for the quantity of food you get! Filling & flavourful, I recommend! Had Kim's Makegeoli, mango flavoured and it was an amazing compliment to the meal. Service- self serve at counter top. No tips. Seating - they do have seating at the main level as well as a sunny, well lit second level with more seating. I think this restaurant spot has a lot of potential to grow, and attract small groups looking to catch up, drink, eat and hang! Overall, would recommend :) read more

With its price point, I'm genuinely impressed by Nangman Katsu's quality and portion size. For just $11.99 (plus tax, no tip), you get two generously sized katsu, salad, potato wedges, a small bowl of rice, and even a yakult on the side. Honestly, that's more than enough for a satisfying meal, and it left me comfortably full. The quality holds up too. The katsu is fried to a perfect golden crisp, delivering a satisfying crunch, and it's paired with a rich, buttery katsu sauce that ties everything together. It's the kind of simple, well-executed meal that really hits the spot. My family also tried the katsu stuffed with cheese and vegetables ($15.99), which was super enjoyable. The melted cheese adds an extra layer of indulgence and makes each bite even more satisfying. We're definitely looking forward to coming back to try more items on the menu. It's mostly self-serve (you order, pick up your food, and return your utensils), so tipping isn't expected. The vibe is a bit...ah different, since you can tell it transitions into a Korean bar at night. It's also quite small, so it fills up quickly. read more

Location/Service This place is in between Yonge Steeles/Cummer - right next to the LCBO on Yonge. There's very limited parking available in front of the restaurant - so you might need to go on the side streets. Interior is very pocha (bar) feel - with a lot of stools, small tables, neon lights and very cool bar vibes. Staff were friendly and accommodating - we were a group of 5 and requested the patio, which we were the only ones and they were fine and also turned up the heating in case we got cold. Food Like a typical Korean Pocha, they serve a variety of standard bar foods - from army stew, seafood pancake, pork belly/pork grind, fried chicken. All were done very well - good portion sizing, very shareable. They have some exotic Korean foods if you're willing to try - we had the boiled snail with red pepper paste. This was very good, the snails were juicy (no seafood smell) and it compliment well with the red pepper paste. We also tried this larvae soup - which was a surprise for all of us. It did have a pungent smell, but the larvae didn't have much of a taste, a bit of a crunch when you bite into it - but typical like crickets. Overall, this place has good vibes - perfect for celebration occasions or date nights. read more

Too bad I don't have many pictures. I've been visiting this place quite a few time and finally have a chance to write a review. This is Korean street style pub located near Yonge-Finch (close to Thorn Hill?) area. We visited on Thursday around 6pm for a quick drink, so we ordered only corn cheese, and it came with four sides dishes! (like the picture) That was very satisfying :) Especially I loved the way the server was very friendly and attentive in a very desirable way. She didn't push us or bother us at all. Just let us chill while chatting while always being available when we look for a server. By the time we leave there, it was full and I could see other tables are having big plate/pot menus are if they're there for food. Can't wait to try more food options! (I was tipsy almost every time when I visited there, so can't remember much haha) read more

While browsing for a restaurant to dine out with a friend, I came across this restaurant online. They offer indoor and patio seating with a great variety of menu and drink options so we decided to check it out. This is a cute restaurant that feels like the ones you see in kdramas. They offer many dishes that goes well with drinks. Even if you're not a drinker, just go for their food. They have 2 seating areas for small parties on the main floor with an upper level with larger tables. This location is perfect as they're the end unit of a strip of shops with parking spots. Although the lot isn't very big, you can easily park across the street at Centrepoint Mall. Between my friend and I, we ordered the army stew and the spicy cheese chicken. We asked for less spice for both dishes and was perfect! The army stew is the perfect cheat meal for us as there's ingredients we don't usually eat like sausages, luncheon meat and ramen. The spicy cheese chicken was extremely delicious, it looked spicy, but it was a little on the sweeter side than spicy. With the cheese, it was the perfect combination! I will definitely go back to try their other dishes! They're also open until 2:30am which makes them the perfect location for late night eats! read more

My new favourite korean bar to hang out and drink with friends! I love the aesthetics and atmosphere here - super cute decor and a fun time. I love being here at night when the lights come on!! Looks exactly like the korean bars you'd see in korean dramas LOL I had so many of my friends asking where I went when they saw my IG stories. I've been here twice (a Thursday & Friday) and both times Nangman Pocha got REALLY BUSY after 7 PM. I've tried to call in to book reservations but they only walk-ins... My friends and I were able to grab a table no problem between 6:30 PM - 7 PM though. After that, there was a line-up for tables, and the line was especially long on Friday night. Despite the line-ups, Nangman Pocha doesn't rush your table to leave (I'm pretty sure as long as you keep ordering you'll be ok?), which is nice. Service was really quick and we got everything we ordered within a reasonable amount of time, though when we did ask for napkins they were really stingy and would only give 1-2 at a time for a table of 6 people.. The concept behind their menu is similar to many asian tapa restaurants - mainly for sharing with a group of friends and 'beer food', however Nangman Pocha offers items that I haven't seen anywhere else. They still offer the typical spicy rice cakes, korean pancakes and fried chicken but what stood out to us was the Spicy Snails + noodles. The snails were big and perfectly chewy! Portions were HUGE but they don't put enough snails :( I'd probably ask for extra snails next time because both times I ordered this there were soo much veggies left. Be warned though, my friends who can't handle spice well found this to be way too spicy! We also ordered the spicy rice cakes, kimchi udon, chicken wings and fries and spicy chicken with cheese. All were delicious and savory though the wings were pretty small compared to any other restaurants I've been to. Also they give you sauce options for the wings, which we thought would be mixed with the wings but they gave the sauce on the side? With Covid happening, I didn't see any servers making each customer sanitize their hands or checking temperature when they arrive like other establishments.. but they do enforce the 6 guests max per table rule. I'd suggest bringing your own hand sanitizer just in case and obviously take it upon yourself to wear masks when entering the building to use the washrooms and social distance as much as you can from other tables. Besides that, Nangman Pocha is a great place to catch up with your friends! I can't wait to come back already!! read more

Parking available on the side or you can park at the mall across the street. Pretty big place with a couple floors, pretty good korean food, to match with drinks. The food is hit / miss depending on what you order, there's a lot of variety to choose from. read more

I came here on a Saturday night at around 6:30pm. The restaurant was quite empty at the time but quickly filled up during our visit. I would recommend making reservations if you are coming later than 7. The menu consisted of mostly shareable food and 'beer food'. We ordered 5 dishes among the 5 of us. My favourite was surprisingly the rice ball. Which was basically seasoned rice with seaweed, mayo, sesame oil and fish roe. Beware if you can't eat spicy food as the Cheese Buldak and Oden Soup were both very spicy. Despite that, we mostly enjoyed everything that we ordered. Overall, we had a pleasant experience here. We loved the interior of the restaurant as well. Definitely a good place to visit with a small group for drinks and decent food. read more

This place has the cutest decor but unfortunately it doesn't offer the best food. I feel like the food always comes out cold and there's not a lot of meatless options for vegetarians/vegans. With that said, If you're looking for a comfortable spot for some soju and snacks, this will do just fine! read more

Great atmosphere, delicious food and friendly staff. The space is beautiful decorated albeit a bit small- my only complaint is size of the small round tables and seats on the first floor. I get that it's more of a bar than restaurant but because the dishes were very generously sized there was hardly any space on the table to fit all the food never mind the drinks. There is more seating upstairs on actual tables though I've never seen it open the times I've been. We ordered the spicy rice cake, army stew (not pictured), spicy cheese chicken, and squid tentacles. I didn't find it overly spicy but it definitely adds up the more you eat! read more

You know when you see "pocha" in the name of the restaurant, you're about to have some good Korean bar food. I loved the food here. Army soup in the first picture is my all time favourite Korean dish! I ate 90% of this because my bf is weak...in the second picture is spicy chicken and cheese. Although both look crazy spicy...it actually wasn't. It was perfect for me! The second picture was more sweet spicy than spicy spicy. This is such a good place to catch up with friends and drink! The patio is sooo cute at night too. read more

Located just right across from Centre Point Mall, Steeles and Yonge. We had the opportunity to taste some genuine Korean food. Yes, for the first time that I didn't order pork bone soup from a Korean restaurant. The food taste delicious. The service is average. The ambience is good. Cost wise is higher than I expected. But with inflation nowadays, $32 for dinner is not too expensive. Worth a try. read more

Such a cute restaurant !!! The restaurant is decorated fully with cherry blossoms across the ceiling!! The food here are tapas style (but big portions)- three of us ordered the army soup, beef tartar & freshwater snails with red pepper sauce. We got full out of the three dishes and they all taste very good!! The price is very decent as well - our bill came to $88 with tips including 2 bottles of soju.. soo.. not even $30 per person :) There is a lot of items on the menu that are not usually in other korean restaurants - like chicken gizzards/ pork hock / beef tripe etc. I would definitely come back and try other items on the menu. Service was great- we literally relied on the staff there to recommend us food - and he sure did a very good job! Definitly will come back again. read more

Food is good but service is subpar. Ordered the pork wraps but somehow it doesn't come with lettuce??? It's 5 dollars for a tiny bowl of lettuce. This doesn't make any sense and the server didn't even tell us this after we ordered. They just assumed we knew lettuce is extra? Why call it pork wraps but not include lettuce. Rest of the service and experience was just poor. Would not go back. Area is too competitive to spend my money there. read more

Just across the street from CenterPoint mall....the parking spots are limited but there is street parking in the residential neighborhood. We ordered the beef tartare, 1lbs of honey garlic wings which came with fries. My two friends arrived before us had ordered beef ribs but they a tad too spicy for my liking and they had this egg roll that tasted amazing. We originally sat outside on the patio and moved inside. This bar is a great place for drinking and catching up with friends. The food though wasn't anything special. read more

Lots of Korean bar food options at reasonable prices! They do have both English and Korean menus but would be good to bring a friend who speaks/can read Korean here to explain what some of the dishes are and know what's good to order!

5star interior with all the cherry blossoms over the ceiling, but 4 star for food. Food taste good overall but I always get stomachaches the day after. It could be because of all the spicy food that I ordered but I can't stop its good. read more

4 stars!! Recommend!! 3 stars for food 4 stars for atmosphere Been here a few times already... First impression, the place has a romantic feel to it!! Resto/bar has 3 seating areas.. the patio, upstairs, and the main area.. I've sat at all three places.. recommend sitting in the main area if possible.. This place has no grill. All dishes are cooked by the kitchen.. I recommend the spicy chicken feet!!! My most memorable dish!! Also recommend the sausage platter!!! I think if you know what dishes to order, and what not to order... this would be a great place for a casual date and drinks. 2 star = wouldn't return even if someone wanted to go 3 star = would return if someone wanted to go, but wouldn't suggest going 4 star = recommend!!! Let's GO!! 5 star = WOW!!!!! Best of the best!!!!! Must try!!!!! read more

I wanted to come back and write an update to this restaurant as I want to let customers know to avoid this place. I don't give bad reviews but this needed to be shared so other customers know what to expect. We have come here a couple of times as they are open later. First, they sat us outside where the music was extremely loud and we had to speak so loud to hear each other. We asked to be seated inside and they said it's full when there were many open tables and they were seating others that came right after us. They did not come out to serve us even one time and everytime we needed something we had to get up and go find a waitor from inside to come to our table. We ordered the Tteokbokki (Korean rice cake) and asked for it to be very mild as we had tried it before on our last visit to this restaurant and it was very spicy, but we love the dish as we have it at other restaurants all the time. They assured us it would be less spicy and when it arrived it was just as spicy as last time, if not more. When we asked to change or take it back, there was no solution to remake, or not charge us and all they said was "we can take it away but will still charge you". And they would just walk away. This experience felt very uncomfortable as they were not only rude but felt like they were discriminating against us. They did not apologize once and were too busy hanging out with their friends and eating to care about their customers. Avoid this place at all costs. 0/5. read more

First before anything: Thank you for ruining our night. I have never written a review on a Google even if I'm upset with a restaurant or a bar. But I really hope the manager sees this review. Wait do you even have management? .. .. .. .. .. ? .. ? ..? Nice and polite server, sad performance from the kitchen, salty and not fresh. We are shitting water shit all morning. We are positive that the reason is from food of this restaurant, most likely the seafood dish we wanted to change. Over priced for their quality. Needs better kitchen staff. Never going again. Trash Pocha is the real name. Hiding its trash food under the drinking atmosphere and interior design of the bar. We ordered a Seafood that was too bitter and fishy so we asked the kitchen to change the menu and we ate 20 percent of the dish and we really did not want more of that disgusting dish. The kitchen denied our request because "we ate most of it.." no we did not. And the kitchen told us they won't be taking in any food orders from our party the rest of the night. Are you joking we spent about 300 dollars that night and went home feeling like shit. And trust me we were being nice. And work in the hospitality industry and me personally always respect other workers. But this kitchen? Don't deserve any respect read more

Very small menu, heavy on tofu. Young staff, good but very basic service. Soup arrives boiling hot. I mean, really boiling. The usual banchan. After the food is served, no one comes near to ask if everything is OK, anything needed etc. Everything is fresh, ample sized portions just nothing exceptional. Prices a bit higher than other similar places in the hood. read more
