Pocha K — Restaurant in Santa Clara

We ordered Spicy Garlic Chicken, Cheese Pork Cutlet, and Clam Soup. The environment is spacious, and waiters are really polite.

The Clam Soup is average, heavily seasoned with salt and pepper. Definitely not bad but not worth a recommendation. The Cheese Pork Cutlet is our favorite dish. Juicy pork wrapped in crispy breadcrumbs and covered with cheese. I really like the sweet and sour gravy (probably mixed with some ketchup). If I only ordered this dish, it would probably be a 5-star review. The Spicy Garlic Chicken, however, disappoints me a little. First of all, it's too sweet for me, but I'm on the not-so-sweet end of the sweet spectrum so it's probably fine for most people (as a reference, I order 25% sugar for milk teas). Second, it's too greasy. The dish is served with shredded lettuce, but the lettuce is soaked in oil because the chicken was too greasy, which affects the texture. I'd recommend drying the oil a bit more before putting the chicken on the plate. Overall, I'd say it's a good experience and worth a try. They offer something that I don't see a lot in other similar...

Tried out Pocha K for dinner.

Ordered quite a bit of food. We had the spicy boneless chicken, sweet potato fries, tonkatsu, and a kimchi fried rice. Also had some soju and beer to pair with the meal.

Portions are pretty big. Would have been helpful if the staff let us know we probably over ordered haha. Food was ok. Nothing really stood out to me. Definitely would not order the tonkatsu though. They give you a long piece of tonkatsu, that is mainly just batter. Really would avoid ordering it. Alcohol here is pretty expensive too.

Staff could be a bit more attentive. Lots of parking in the back.

I'd definitely be open to coming back in again, but would try other things. This spot does get busy later, since they do open later than...

I’m rating this place 5 starts just because they open so late - way past midnight. For some reason, I feel like most places close at 8 pm, that’s when I’m about to eat dinner! Truly, it’s a relief to have a decent option after 9 pm. The building facade could use a little sprucing up, but inside is a surprise mix of rope barrier by the waiting area intertwined with strings of mini LED lights while Kpop is blasting in the background. Our first visit was a to-go order of cheese with corn, spicy pork, Kim chi fried rice and tonkatsu. We consumed every dish with delight! The tonkatsu was cut in half to fit the to-go box, it was probably as big as a dinner plate! We’ll probably eat in next time and take all the food and vibe...
