" KongPocha has transformed into a dynamic spot for Korean street food lovers! I went there yesterday and oh wow, their spicy pork was phenomenal. I’m usually picky about the spiciness, but this dish had just the right kick. The decor was fun and everything was well-organized, despite it being a busy Friday night. I also had the sweet potato corn dog, which was hefty and packed with flavors. A solid option for dinner with friends! " (*Curated Review*)

" My group and I visited KongDog last week and had a blast! The decor was reminiscent of a typical Korean pojangmacha, with tarps and a relaxed vibe. We enjoyed the gimbap and the sweet and spicy chicken, which came with generous portions. It was a bit busy when we arrived, which delayed our order, but our server was polite and kept us informed. Overall, a great experience and I can't wait to go back! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited KongDog on a Saturday night and was impressed by the bustling atmosphere. The staff was eager to help but we faced a slight delay in service. However, once the food arrived, it was all worth it! I particularly enjoyed the rose tteokbokki, which had layers of flavors that complemented each other beautifully. On the other hand, my friend's seafood pancake wasn't as filled as they expected, but overall, we had a delightful evening. " (*Curated Review*)

" The energy at KongDog is contagious! My friends and I enjoyed a variety of corn dogs, and they were absolutely delicious! The sweet chili Dorito corn dog was particularly memorable. Our server, who was incredibly friendly, recommended the kimchi fries to go along with our drinks, and it was a spot-on choice. We left the restaurant feeling satisfied and excited to return for different dishes on our next visit. " (*Curated Review*)

" Kong Pocha offers a charming dining experience that brings the vibrant spirit of Korean street food to life. I was especially impressed by the banchan they served with our meal; it had just the right balance of flavors. We sampled various dishes, from the budae jjigae to the deep-fried Korean corn dogs, all of which were well-prepared and fresh. The atmosphere was filled with excitement as people thoroughly enjoyed their meals. I’ll surely be back to try more menu items! " (*Curated Review*)

I highly recommend the sweet chili version, which was both flavorful and satisfying. The staff was friendly but a little rushed.

" Wow just wow! What an amazing dining experience at KongDog. From the moment we stepped in, it felt welcoming, and the staff were eager to assist us. I ordered the Korean BBQ platter and it simply melted in my mouth. " (*Curated Review*)
