Searched on google for a good cold noodle spot, and this restaurant popped up. We decided to give…read moreit a try, and upon entering, we weren't greeted right away. We stood there for a good 7 minutes before another party came in, and they finally noticed us. After noticing us, they cleared off a table and immediately got us sat. We were served hot tea upon seating. They took our order quickly. We decided to get the Cold-Noodle with a Beef-Based Broth, Steamed Dumplings, and Seafood Soft Tofu Soup. The first dish that came out was the Cold-Noodle dish, and it was served with hot mustard and vinegar on the side. Our server taught us how to prepare the dish, which is really nice especially for first timers. Their banchan was also good - kimchi and radish kimchi - which are both made in-house. Then our steamed dumplings came, and they were my personal favorite dish of the night. You can tell that they are handmade, and the sauce that went with it was delicious. Finally, the seafood tofu soup was pretty good. My partner loved it, but I think the octopus inside was overcooked. But, I understand that can happen especially since it's served in a hot stone pot. It also came with some clams, an egg, and some zucchini! Just from the layout and design of the restaurant, I could tell that it's an authentic place. The workers take pride in their food, and you can tell with each bite. Would highly recommend for those craving some good Korean dishes.

Came here for a late-night dinner after karaoke with a few girlfriends. It was totally unplanned,…read moreand since K-Pocha was open late, I suggested we give it a try. Mind you, we're all moms who were just looking for somewhere casual to eat and wind down after karaoke, and I definitely was *not* expecting the vibe here. It was... bizarre, to say the least. I don't really know how else to describe it. It didn't feel like somewhere a group of moms would casually grab dinner. The atmosphere has a very gritty, old-school Korean drinking-joint vibe, almost like one of those pocha scenes from a K-drama where coworkers come after work to drink soju and unwind. Dim, casual, a little rough around the edges, and definitely more focused on drinking and late-night socializing than a relaxed dinner atmosphere. Maybe we just weren't the target demographic, but the atmosphere wasn't really our scene. I didn't think about the name of the restaurant literally meaning Korean Pocha, until after we arrived. We actually considered leaving after sitting down at a table since the vibe felt off and service was slow, but we were already there so we committed. Regarding food, everything tasted okay. Nothing was necessarily bad, but nothing stood out enough that I'd want to make the roughly 40 minute drive back here either. The service was also pretty subpar and didn't make the experience any better. We were curious about the Zodiacal Peach on the menu and asked about it, hoping for a dessert, but the explanation we got wasn't particularly helpful. We decided to take a chance anyway because we were curious and... it was legitimately just peaches?? It was good but for the price, absolutely not. At least now we know, but I definitely wouldn't order that again. Washington has no shortage of Korean restaurants, and out of all the ones I've tried so far, K-Pocha unfortunately falls pretty low on my list. Between the atmosphere, mediocre service, and food that was fine but forgettable, I really couldn't care less about making the drive back.

K Pocha is great for late-night drinks and food. I highly recommend it!

First off, four solid stars for the fried chicken wings…read more My Washington family enjoys the fried chicken here, so we came for early dinner (17:30ish). There were three types of wings that we ordered, but the only one I had was the honey garlic. The wings itself are a really good size, good crispiness, and decent flavor. You could miss this spot if you don't know that there is a stairway that goes down a level (hence the name Underground??)) Once you get down there, you get the vibe of a bar (on the low light side, but bright enough to see and enjoy your food, drink, and company). It does give karaoke bar vibe. The service was just ok. I had questions about the rice cake dishes which are basically teokkbokki, but I'm not sure why they don't put that on the menu. The person who took our order was fine but non descriptive with the dishes. The creamy rice cake looked like penne Alfredo upon coming out. The taste was fine, but since it wasn't described for me, I truly didn't know what was in it other than heavy cream (because that's what I was told). Other than the four star chicken, it was fine. Three stars.

Not to mentioned, our server was amazing and patient with us since it was my first time. Although, she kinda knew us from the church she still treated us with respect like any other customer without any favoritism or whatesoever. She told me full details of the menu to which is usually ordered or popular at the moment, since I couldn't decide myself. I loved everything she recommended and can't wait to go back again. I specially loved the kalbi and pork tofu combo . We did get the stone bibimpap as well which was amazing !! And the seafood pancake . I think we ended up getting so much food that we ended up just sharing whole just enjoying each others company. My order: ( in the photo) Pork Tofu Soup 돼지고기 순두부 with kalbi combo! And Seafood Pancake 해물파전 The others ordered the half and half chicken and hot Hot-Stone Bi-Bim-Bap 나물돌솥비빔밥 . The side dishes was the best too and I love the kimchi specially. Can't wait to try other dish next time.

I tagged along to have some bibimbap that everyone in our family was raving about. This place is in a big shopping center and there are plenty of parking spaces. The restaurant is very nice and clean. There are 2 older Korean ladies taking care of the whole restaurant from seating people to taking orders and delivering foods on a cart. It was so crowded, that the table next to us had to leave due to having to wait too long and their kids getting fussy. We had to wait to be seated and wait to order our food. We got to sit in the back room so I had to go out and reminded the ladies that we're in the back room LOL. I was hungry. The lady came and took order, she's very pleasant although tired of running the whole show. Our order was easy, 5 bibimbaps and 1 Korean famous fried chicken for appetizer. The lady was so happy, yes, it was an easy order. She brought all the traditional little pickles and veggies dishes out for us to nibble before the main course LOL. The family likes kimchi so much that she brought 4 extra dishes for us, which was very nice. The fried chicken was excellent, crispy and tasty and hot, I liked it as always. The prices here are reasonable, less than $30 and average $20. The bibimbap is a little light on the meat and a little light on salt. I need to add the red sauce to make it better.

We were also misled in the fact that we thought we could get fried chicken here only to find out they don't have it on their menu anymore. This was during a Friday evening around 6pm, and my friend and I got seated immediately since the restaurant was empty. You've got a lot of tables inside that are relatively clean and seat mostly groups of 4 or so. News in Korean is playing on a TV nearby, and the interior just feels calming with the uniform wooden floors and tables. Menu is limited here though most of it is for their traditional hangover soups. My friend and I wanted some meat dishes so we got both their spicy pork and beef bulgogi on sizzling grills. Both meats came sizzling when brought to our table, though they weren't piping hot from what I remember. Spicy pork was hard to chew at times, and my friend had to spit out one piece because it was too hard. It wasn't too spicy though I think it would have benefited from more spice since the flavor wasn't too strong. The beef bulgogi was both of our favorites, though the color wasn't too appealing and I felt there was a ton of liquid, as if the beef was plated before all the water evaporated from the pan. Service was top-notch for both of us, though. Staff were attentive in answering our questions, grabbing our utensils and getting us water when we asked. I felt this was a one-off visit because we didn't get the dishes this place is more well-known for, so I'll come back again to have their hangover soups instead.

They have a little buzzer on the table to call the server if you need anything. The inside is pretty spacious that accommodates different party sizes with K-pop playing. The restaurant can get a bit tight and if they are full while you're waiting for your takeout then you are in the way of the servers but they don't really tell you to wait out or accommodate you. I will admit I am disappointed by my most recent takeout order here as not only did it take long but they didn't offer any banchan with my order, especially with the wait. I order jjampong and it was alright, not as much seafood or flavor as I'd like. It'd be better to go to Wooree Bahnjeom nearby instead for that.

I loved it. Automatically greeted when entering. They ask you if you are there for AYCE BBQ or hot pot...I love the options! Of course I wanted AYCE BBQ so we sat on the left side. There's plenty of space. Place feels just like how I've know a kbbq spot would be. Music was poppin. People are super nice! As hungry as we were and as much as I wanted to try the premium, my partner and I don't eat too much to make it work the premium ($58/person). I think something that I really love about this place is the different tiers of AYCE BBQ because not everyone eats certain things or don't want to. We stuck to the classic ($38/person) and I think it had plenty of good options on the menu. We got beef bulgogi, marinated brisket, and thin sliced pork belly to start. I don't think there was a limit to how many you can choose at first but to be safe we only did 3 different ones so we don't pay extra for wasted. The sides were good and a drink was included. I also got garlic shrimp (3 pieces) and more bulgogi for my partner. If our waiter was with someone else, there was also another person to make sure we were covered and if we need any more meats or anything else. This place did not disappoint. We also had free ice cream after wards. We will be back and with more people!
