Solid late night Korean spot in the South Bay! My friend and I ordered the kimchi fried rice and corn cheese and it was definitely enough for 2 people. The kimchi fried rice tasted really good but the corn cheese was a bit too sweet for my liking. Definitely a more modern Korean restaurant and seems like a good place to grab some drinks with friends! read more

Ambiance Really nice place, hip vibe, and pretty lights. A table of four can fit two people with stuff if you have laptops even at night! Food I've had Pocha K before at the Santa Clara location. wish I got the spicy garlic chicken as the regular one was a little flavorless and they didn't offer sauce =( the daikon was as expected, and I had their fries with Cheetos, it was just the right amount of sweet and salty. I think I confused this dish with the fries with bulgolgi ones from Sia, which is also closeby, and that dish came with an egg, which I didn't expect! Service ‍ It was fine, they could have refilled water throughout, since we finished ours but we were around for a really long time so it was fine. Verdict ‍ I'd come here again for different dishes with drinks (soju). read more

I love Pocha K so much that if my friends invite me, I pretty much drop everything and drive the 2 hrs to come get it. The pocha fries with the hot cheetos haunt me like a lost love. The chicken could bring me to tears if it wanted to. Kimchi fried rice? Yes. Always. read more

Came here on a Friday evening early dinner and didn't have any wait! There's plenty of seating and staff was speedy. Favorite dishes we ordered: - Spicy Garlic Fried Chicken - Tteokbokki Wouldn't get again but was good: - Corn cheese (a bit too sweet for me) - Tofu Soup (personally wasn't the biggest fan but others at the table loved!) - Soju Cocktail Pitcher (tasted good but a little too sweet and weak in terms of ABV) The ambiance was really fun! But a bit hard to hear others since it was so loud. I would definitely come back to chill, get soju, and the friend chicken. read more

Pocha K - Korean Near Me - Newark, California

WARNING: 50% off Tuesday fried chicken applies only to the one order of lowest value fried chicken per table. I don't know if this promotion is still active, I went a couple weeks ago. Despite lack of clarification on that sign at the door regarding this promotion, it was overall a pretty standard Korean fried chicken eatery experience. Service was minimal, vibe was meh because it was pretty empty in there. Lots of well known K-pop songs playing in the background. Place is huge for being this dead. read more

Food that hits the spot--and they're open late! Perfect for those midnight cravings when you need something actually tasty. Definitely a new go-to for late-night bites read more

Space: Clean, large, and modern. They have lots of tables. Vibe: Like the vibe with the Korean music videos playing on the screens. The decor was really fun too. Parking: It shares parking with a super market, so there is good amount of parking. Food: We shared the following food between two people. Spicy Garlic Boneless Chicken / 양념 순살치킨 $22 (4/5) This was surprisingly good! It was a good amount of chicken. The chicken was dark meat and juicy. The batter was thin and well flavored. I loved the sweetness to it, which melded well with the juicy chicken. I didn't taste much spiciness if any with this dish though. Army Stew / 부대찌개 21 (4/5) The size of this is smaller than most army stews that you get which are made for 3+ people. This army stew was perfect to share between two people and allowed room to try other items. The spice level was just right and I like the flavor and thickness of the soup. The noodles, spam, and sausages were great with the soup. We didn't drink here but they have lots of drinks here and this place would be fun for large groups. read more

Great place and I love all the lights they're so pretty. The fried chicken is probably the best on the menu and the portions are generous. Staff is really friendly and accomodating read more

I had a really fun time here at pocha k. We had a large group of maybe 10-12 people and they served us promptly with not many issues. We ordered a HUGE variety of dishes from Korean fried rice, bulgogi, gizzard, beer towers, ramen with teokbokki, corn cheese, etc. Honestly everything tasted great. This was one of those nights where we just indulged so I didn't get to see how expensive the dishes were haha. Overall, this would be a great place to get together with a large group of friends and catch up over drinks and food. I will be back. read more

The food tasted good but it was kind of strange that they don't give any rice with their dishes. We ordered pork belly and army stew and neither of them came with rice. This place has a service button so that was convenient. We went at 8PM and it has a basic Korean bar atmosphere. The music was loud and there were quite a few people so it was basically full on a Friday night. read more

Excellent service 200%!!! Had a great wholesome time for my birthday. The owners (I believe) gave us some free drinks. They passed the vibe check since they were enjoying drinks and foods right next to our table. My friends who came for the first time enjoyed it so much, he ended up celebrating his gf's bday there a week later. I love all the foods, and our re-ordered item was the fried chicken! I also prefer this location because it is more open and not as stuffy as the SC one. read more

Jap chae and soju And ban chan and kimchi Gimbap, bulgogi And soft stew and galbi Gochujang, bibimbap Jajangmyeon These are a few of my favorite things Poncha K makes me want to break into song because I loved everything about this place. The food, the portions, the cocktails--it was all good. The only thing I didn't enjoy was how loud it was in here and how difficult it is to have a conversation, mostly due to all the K-pop playing on multiple screens throughout the joint. Also, we were the likely the oldest ones in here. I mean, we're not Medicare old enough but old enough to be irritated at loud, unrecognizable music. Service was fast and friendly and will definitely return. read more

Sooo many cute photo ops in this place. They have a scan code & a call button. Seating can be a at a table or the bar. Service is attentive & quick. This was on Thursday night when we went so the restaurant wasn't entirely full but that's fine to us. The food is delicious. We ordered the spicy garlic boneless chicken with the spicy on the side. The cheese corn had a little sweetness & drinks lit up. It was pretty cool. read more

Pocha K - Corn cheese, kimchi fried rice & bonesless chicken - Korean Near Me - Newark, California

Tasty dinner with a friend and I can't believe I haven't been here sooner! The decor is aesthetic and I like how there's kpop music videos playing on the tv too. The food comes in huge portions and this place is great groups. Their spicy garlic boneless chicken ($22) had the best CRONCH sound!!! Yes, cronch instead of crunch. It was so chilly inside that my nose got stuffy and the pocha rose tteokbokki ($20) and cheese corn ($11) solidified/got cold quickly. Still enjoyed those too! There's a button on the side of the table you press for service which was swift and courteous. Also, it's good to know that there are a few soda options as well if you prefer a night sans alcohol! read more

I love how late this opens. The atmosphere inside is much nicer compared to the outside.

We go there at 1pm. Table was very sticky, and smelled like it was cleaned with an old damp rag. No soap in the bathrooms and there was so many flies buzzing around my table. They should spray the tables and use a clean rag to wipe them down. The chicken came out very cold, I was disgusted, we sent it back and our waiter brought us a fresh batch. The beef bulgogi was very salty, will not order again. read more

If you're looking for authentic Korean dishes served with banchan, Poncha K isn't it. We ordered the spicy pork and seafood tofu soup. Both tasted fine but for the price and what you get, I was disappointed that we didn't at least get rice included. This is not a trad korean restaurant, but instead a hip place to eat and drink with friends. It was like korean club food. I could see the draw for the younger crowd but for us, we'd rather dine at an authentic korean establishment that focused more banchan and authentic cuisine than loud music and alcoholic drinks. Needless to say I was quite disappointed and will go back to my tried and true Korean favorite. read more

Updated review with pictures! This is our second time coming and this time I remembered to take pictures of the food. Just as yummy as last time we were here and the portions were perfect for the price and sharing. Great atmosphere for a night out with friends. The service was fantastic and food came out pretty quickly. Although we live closer to Livermore, this is a must come spot for Korean food and drinks. read more

the server himself was really nice and friendly but the food took like forever to come out ...maybe they were understaffed idk but we waited like 40+ minutes for our food and it wasn't that busy. another table got up and left bc the food was taking so long :// the food itself is not that good but it's not terrible -- i found it to be pretty average. the corn cheese was $13 which i thought was kinda expensive especially for a small portion ... the place is decorated really cutely tho and they have a photobooth. probably would not go back though ...crazy long wait for mediocre food :/ read more

What a fun spot for Korean bar/snack food! Convenient location and easy to get to! There are lots of options for vegetarians and you can add meat if desired read more

Wow wow wow! This is one of my favorite places to eat at in Newark! My friends and I have come here multiple times and every time it is a blast! Great food, awesome vibe, clean trendy decor, bumpin KPOP, and friendly staff. Perfect spot! The food here is so good! We have ordered a lot of things, but our faves are: -Pocha Fries are a must have! Hot cheetos, a fried egg, and creamy sauce makes it the perfect dish to share! -Cheese Tonkatsu makes my mouth water! It is perfectly crispy, cheesy, and the dipping sauce to to die for! -Pork belly is perfectly cooked. Salty, crispy, spicy, delicious! Depending on how we are feeling that day, we typically rotate in the corn cheese, kimchi fried rice, dumplings, and Tteokbokki. And definitely don't forget to add some soju to your meal. Can never go wrong with soju! My only complaint is that they need someone in the front greeting people. One time we had to walk all the way to the back to flag someone down. read more

Hung out with a few friends here on a Friday evening! I just snacked off on what they decided to order, so I don't really remember some of the names of the dishes, but I remember what they look like! Food - My fiance ordered some fries, and it came with hot cheetos on top with an egg?? It was a little weird, I didn't want to try it and I love fries but it just look a little silly. After he and our friends tried it, they also thought it was just okay but a little strange with the egg. He also ordered a fried rice. It was pretty simple - I could have cooked it at home. They also ordered the fried chicken, a beer tower, bulgogi. The chicken was pretty bomb! Would definitely recommend getting that, but also because they give you a decent amount! The beer/soju tower was good - I've never had soju mixed with beer before so it was interesting and definitely did the job lol. The bulgogi was also tasty! Service - My introverted self felt weird ringing a bell to get service. It almost felt rude but I guess that's just how they work here! I just had them ring the bell.. except when I wanted a extra bottle of soju, I rang the bell! Environment - Not a fan of how loud the volume was with the music. But the aesthetic of the place was cute. You can take pictures in the front with the floral walls. All the pothos plants surrounding the tables in the center of the restaurant were cute. I could handle the vibe of this place, but I think the cost of the food+the quality of the food did not add up. I would come here for drinks, but probably not snacks! read more

A wonderful korean bar K Pocha opened in Newark, there is another branch available in Santa Clara! Love the pork and kimchi fried rice, spicy boneless fried chicken, and clam soup! If you check in to Yelp, you also get a free soju or medium size beer to enjoy your meal with! Love the k pop music video that they played, is prefect for date night or group hang out. The restaurant has very cute deco with romantic lightings and perfect for selfie. Service is fast and food comes out piping hot. Will Definitely be back to try more food. read more

Fun styling and good food. I've gone here a few times and its always a treat. The chicken and rice is great.

I came back today and the jake "my server" is still serving great service with good food I always recommand this place it is always good with 5 stars :) read more

Don't go here if you want to talk but if you don't mind and enjoy loud music and do not mind yelling when talking, GO HERE!!! I have been here twice and main reason is because they are open late even on weekdays. I'll come here again to have beer and their Korean fried chicken. I like it a lot. Then, any Korean place I go to, I always get spicy pork. The Tteokbokki are in a bit of spicy side, even the mild Rose Tteokbokki but it's good if you like spicy. Again, the inside is like a nightclub with loud music. We would come here to eat and not really talk and if your looking for a place that's open late and serves good food. read more

This spot has quickly become my favorite to bring people to. I live in San Jose and will make the trip up here just for the vibe. Jake is such a great host, and makes everyone feel like friends. The food is excellent here. Highly recommend the spicy garlic fried chicken, the pork belly kimchi w/ tofu, bulgogi, and the rosé tteokbokki. read more
