K-Pocha — Restaurant in Ellicott City

K-Pocha

GOOD - food, fun atmosphere and very friendly service

BAD: Not too much, the amosphere was unexpected, but not necessarily bad. The prices are a bit high for mainly different variations of fried chicken, but portions make it easier to swallow.

K-Pocha is nestled in a shopping center I would affectionately coin "Asian Row." Aside from K-Pocha, there is another Korean restaurant, Vietnamese, Thai and a large Korean grocery store.

I ordered fried dumplings to start, which were crispy and delicious, but it was the unique mini sides of kimchi, pickled veggies, glazed soy beans and spinach with cheese that took it to the next level (make sure you get the free side).

I ordered the bbq chicken with cheese. This ate like a spicy chicken parm only it wasn't fried. I thought it would be, but still good.

When I walked in, the lightning was dark with somewhat loud "club" music. Not typically my scene, but it grew on me as the night wore on. K-Pocha reminds me of an attempt to merge a traditional sit down Asain restaurant, with a cluby vibe - a strange but interesting combo. They aired pro golf in combination with Korean pop/rap music videos on another TV. It was different but a fun mix. You will spend roughly 35+per person. It's on the high side for chicken dishes, but portions and quality are very good. Definitely try it and keep an open mind on the atmosphere. It grew on...

Very disappointed. I’ve ordered couple things from here. The (whole) fried chicken is $24.95. Come with 3 flavor options. (Sweet and Spicy, Sweet Garlic Soy, and Spicy Garlic Soy) The breading is crispy and hot, but the chicken was dry and old. (Except the wing and the leg portion.) Fried boneless chicken is between $16.95 and $19.95. Come with 5 flavor options. (Original, Sweet and Spicy, Sweet Garlic Soy, Spicy Garlic Soy, Green Onion Mix, and Spicy Honey.) Similarly, the breading and flavor were great, but the boneless chicken is just very dry, probably similar to Wings Stop. Maybe marinating it would taste differently. Also, customer service was bad, it seems like that they treat Korean customer better. Well, Bon Chon quality control have declined dramatically recently, this place definitely won’t fulfill my chicken cravings. Keep looking. Any recommendations are greatly...

I was there with my husband. The food was great. But once I asked for a check and boxes to-go no one helped me pack up my food. While I was packaging my food my husband signed the bill without tipping them BECAUSE I told him I would tip them in cash. This lady snapped up the check and turned back immediately to tell us we didnt tip. This happened even though I wasn't done packaging our food. To make matters worse, no one even asked us to refill our water or asked us if we need anything during our meal. But she didnt waste any time turning around in less than 5 seconds to ask for tip. Afterwards I still tipped them but I would...
