I did a review here before but it's under new management. We were sadden they don't have BBQ anymore and their hours were adjusted. The food was still really good but they have a new menu and a smaller selection. The restaurant still has its fun appeal and kept their decor. The food and service was great. Every pick was really delicious. I wish we tried the beef and pork bone soup but we'll be back again. Yes, we ordered a ton of food but we wanted left overs for tomorrow :D
Nice service and good food. Overall a nice experience and had great beer recommendation from waitress. Ordered some chicken wings, corn cheese, and spam kimchi fried rice, all were delicious. Will go again
Coming from California and being blessed west coast ktown eats, I was a bit skeptical at going to a pocha in Denver. However, I was very pleasantly surprised at the ambiance, the food, the drinks, and the warmth of the owner! We walked in Thursday night at 11pm. It was one of the only Asian restaurants in the area still open after our flight landed. As expected, the customers were sparse save for 2-3 tables of diners. The interior was immediately green flags - l loved the decor and wood tones. It felt like I was in Korea! The menu is your typical pocha fare - soups, Korean pancakes, army stew, KBBQ meats. We ordered the jalapeño soy chicken wings, volcano pork, and the kimchi fried rice. My favorite was the chicken wings, really crunchy with good flavor and the wings were decently sized. The volcano pork came over a fire burner and cooked at our table. It was definitely pretty spicy but paired really well with the kimchi fried rice, which I thought could be spicier. The pork quality was ok but I really liked the flavors and the bean sprouts in the pot. I particularly love that K Pocha has zero sugar soju on the menu no sugar = no hangovers!) I always drink the brand with the fox on it and squeeze a bit of lemon into the shot. We were served by the owner and the service was efficient. He didn't seem to speak the best English so we had to have one of our friends translate when we asked questions, but he was really nice and welcoming. K Pocha seems to be pretty new, so I will hopefully be back soon to support his business! I definitely want to try the army stew and the tofu soups.
food is amazing, very good service, you gotta try out this place if you want to get the korean pocha experience. two thums up!
K pocha was a blast! The food was really good, we tried tons of it including the bar snacks and their bulgogi. It's such a fun atmosphere. The only thing preventing this from being 5 stars is the price point. I wish it was a little cheaper for the amount of food you got. I'm 100% coming back though.
We were a bit worried that we were the only people in the entire restaurant, but because of that, service was tremendous. Everything done with care and quality. The menu had popular Korean dishes like tteokbokki and bulgogi to more obscure dishes like silkworms and braised pig's feet. We ordered a variety of dishes to get different flavors. The kimchi pancake was flavorful, tangy, and a mix of crispy exterior and soft interior with little bursts of crunch from the cabbage mixed in. It came with the perfect amount of dipping sauce. We also had the tteokbokki, but felt it was overloaded with fish cakes and not enough rice cakes and the sauce was a bit thin for our liking. The sweet and spicy chicken wings were wonderful, but wholly overpriced. Definitely wonderful though--as we have come to expect from Korean fried chicken. Lastly, we had the dumpling hot pot. I was not as much of a fan of this one, but it was still very tasty. The dumplings are massive, and they have a nice variety of vegetables. Wish there was more broth since it was the star of the dish, but by then end of the first bowl of soup, the broth was scant and we turned off the burner ourselves so as not to evaporate any more of it! The atmosphere was okay. They could elevate and revamp it. The place had a dingy basement smell that we couldn't shake, but once the food started cooking in the kitchen, it improved. They had popcorn with the cutest wire fry baskets to serve it in, but the popcorn tasted stale. Our drinks were served immediately and nice and cold from the fridge that they have at the front counter. The most odd decoration was a Victorian carriage, which we were ushered to sit in and get a photo op. Cute, but a bit odd. Overall, I would recommend this place for the excellent service, the experience, and the good food. Remember to bring your wallet. The prices are a bjt on the high end.
A great find tucked in the corner of a rundown strip mall. The Budae Jjigae was excellent, enough food for several people. My wife loved the chicken. The waitstaff was friendly and attentive. We have visited numerous times and have never been disappointed. Excellent food and wonderful service!
Hands down one of the best Korean foods that I've had! Don't let the plaza's appearance deter you from coming here. We came after a night out and when I tell you that the foods just hit different. The braised ribs were super tender! The sauce that it came with was to die for. I could just have rice and that sauce and I would be happy. The spicy rice cake was delicious. The rice cake was chewy and the sauce was perfect. The army stew was so heartwarming. I really enjoyed the mix of ingredients. A little different than the ones I've had. The broth is lighter and still packed with flavors. If you get a chance, you should also try the banana maekgeolli (rice wine). It sounds weird but delicious. Overall, I would totally come back here for late night foods!
This place is so cute! The food was absolutely delicious, the ambience was great, and the staff were so kind and attentive. Yuna and Liam took great care of us, they recommend us their favorite soju and food combinations, we loved it all! A fun little add on was that for every $100 you spend, you get to spin a wheel for a prize, we got that chance to spin twice and got some free snacks. They also have a photo zone which my friends and I of course had to take advantage of. I highly recommend k-pocha! AMAZING. My friends and I will absolutely be coming back here!!
