" Kong Pocha is a solid choice if you want great Korean food. I had an enjoyable experience overall. The portions are generous, and the flavors are authentic. I had the sweet and spicy chicken, which was richly flavored. Though service was a bit slow at times, it was a busy Saturday night. I'll likely return for another visit soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" I have tried to find 'the one' Korean place, and I'm happy to say Kong Pocha is it! The calms of the atmosphere blend with the flavors perfectly! I mean, that kimchi soup has me craving for more. Perfect for a night out with the crew. I don't know why it took me so long to finally visit! " (*Curated Review*)
