Regular pork katsu
Anthony F.

Just realized they now serve food too and it was great. It's operated food court style but they also provide self serve tea and utensils. The seating is plentiful inside and there's parking outside. There is a cash discount as well. The seating area is nice. And the food you get for the price is pretty great. I would recommend. Chicken katsu was our favourite.

Cheese & veggies
Hank K.

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.

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.

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)

Original Donkatsu-$11.99 and Spicy noodles-$9.99

Good value and portions for the pricing. I like their Katsu sauce but wished they had more meat.

Came to snack and drink, we sat outside which had that Asian street vendor vibes lol. Great service, our drinks came quickly, was able to get the waiter's attention when needed. Ordered the cheese corn and green onion fried chicken, can't go wrong with these.

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!

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!!

Inside

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.

Army soup
Shirley K.

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.

Spicy cheese chicken

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!

Beef tartar & freshwater snails
Patricia M.

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.

The food was delicious. I couldn't finish the pasta because I also ate the garlic bread that came with it. So I packed that up to go home. Just keep in mind people this is a pub. It's not a gastro pub where the food is supposed to be michelin star. So adjust your expectations. Having said that I still think the food here is decent. I haven't had any horrible food here. Service: We had a lovely black lady serving us. I didn't catch her name unfortunately. But we have been served by her before. She's perfectly nice & our service from her was great. She took our drink orders first. And then we placed our main dish orders. The food came out relatively quickly as well. We came here for lunch on a Saturday. Ambiance: The furniture has been rearranged a bit. There used to be a sofa at the back near the stairs to the washroom. Now there's a large table there. Other than that it's still the cozy pub vibe. I'm not sure why people have given recent bad review for this place. Hubby & I have been going here on & off for years & not had a bad experience.

But overall, the food was just average. The marinated shrimp was decent, but the spicy marinated crab was surprisingly sweet. We ordered their signature beef intestine dish, but it took quite a while for both the intestines and corn cheese on the side to start bubbling. The beef intestines tasted pretty good with their spicy sauce. However, the corn cheese was disappointing. There was very little cheese and a lot of mayonnaise, which made it taste overly sweet and greasy. I ended up putting in the water to eat the corn. The pancake selection was also very limited. They did not have seafood or kimchi pancakes, only potato pancakes, and tasted bland. No vegetable dishes available to order was a bit disappointing.

We were seated in a booth, which was cozy. The lighting kept changing throughout the night though, seemingly darker and darker each time. But there was a touch lamp with different settings on the table, so that helped. It was quite busy, so it did take a bit of time to order, but once we ordered, food came out at a decent pace. None of us drink, so we ordered about 8 menu options, which was a bit too much (we ended up packing some at the end), but price was very reasonable. Everything tasted better than we assumed would be just average, typical dishes. The 3 dishes we enjoyed most were the Beef Tartare, Pork Ribs, and Watercress Pancake. Most other Korean restaurants in the city don't typically offer this type of pancake, so it was a good choice. Atmosphere vibes were good, with the decor resembling an old-school hotel bar. There was music playing as well, which was a little loud, but still at a volume that you can have conversations. Nice spot for friend gathering or even a date night.

The food left a lot to be desired and we all felt very bloated leaving the restaurant. * Double salmon roll - rice was kind of hard, fish was "dry" - you could tell that it was pre-made and perhaps been sitting, waiting for service * Crispy pork belly - greasy * Tiger shrimp - flavour was nice, but we felt the shrimp while cooked, wasn't coming to the table "freshly" cooked * Galbi - perhaps a personal preference, but we thought the cuts of beef were quite fatty. * NFC - dry and cold * Rainbow natto - probably the best item served? * Bulgogi tacos - these were smaller portions before and I think I prefer them smaller so that you can have more variety in what you're eating. Overally I found these extremely greasy and the ratio of beef to wrap was off, there was too much meat for the wrap. * Japa burgers - huge - you could eat one burger and be full. these were smaller (also cheaper) before. * Oysters - the "buck-a-shuck" oysters are EXTREMELY small, not worth it at all. Service was mid at best. We appreciated the bartenders offer to make some of the beverages non-alcoholic. I expected better for an early seating when there weren't many customers. Like I said, somehow all the food came out all at once, which really concerned me and made the eating experience quite difficult. That, coupled with the lack of attention throughout the meal, made for a sub-par dining experience.
