" Boka is my go-to spot for fried chicken! The soy garlic wings are incredibly tasty and perfectly crispy. They do have a cash-only policy, which can be a hassle, but honestly, the food makes it worth it every time. I recommend going in a group so you can try a bunch of different dishes. " (*Curated Review*)

" I finally tried the spicy wings at Boka, and they were incredible! I couldn't get enough of them. The atmosphere was perfect for an evening out, but I was frustrated by the cash-only policy—bring cash or be prepared for an ATM run! Regardless, I highly recommend it! " (*Curated Review*)

" Never been disappointed by the wings at Boka! They are just perfectly crispy with the right amount of sauce. I found their service a little lacking, notably during busy hours. The vibe of the restaurant is very inviting, makes it a great place to grab food and unwind after a long day! " (*Curated Review*)

" I can't recommend Boka highly enough! I've had the soy garlic chicken multiple times, and each time it’s been consistently amazing. The casual vibe is perfect for socializing. Service can be hit or miss, particularly if they're busy, but it’s fine since the food more than makes up for it! " (*Curated Review*)

" The first time I tried Boka, I was blown away by the flavors! Each dish felt authentic and hearty. Their fried chicken has the unique crunch that many places fail to achieve. I couldn't stop raving about the kimchi fried rice to my friends. Service could be improved but overall a fantastic dining experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" The fried chicken here is nothing short of divine! Crispy on the outside and tender inside, packed with the right amount of spice. The kimchi pancake was also a fantastic side that complemented the chicken perfectly. While I loved the food, they could improve their service—it felt like a long wait to get our orders taken. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Boka during a busy Friday night. The wings were as good as everyone says—super crispy and flavorful! But the service was a bit slow, and the restaurant got really loud. I had to wait longer than expected for my food, but the flavors made up for it. The atmosphere is cozy, but I recommend going on off-peak hours. " (*Curated Review*)
