Pocha K in Newark is a hidden gem for Korean Food and Fun! Instead of going to Gen's Korean BBQ, we decided to celebrate my son's graduation at Pocha K--and we're so glad we did! When we arrived, the restaurant was still closed, but they opened just a few minutes later. Since it was a weekday, we had the whole place to ourselves for nearly an hour. We took the chance to snap some photos in the adorable corner on the right side of the restaurant, decorated with flowers, light-up angel wings, and a fun photo booth backdrop. We were warmly welcomed by Yuri, who was incredibly sweet and accommodating. When she found out we were celebrating a graduation, she surprised us with complimentary drinks--three canned sodas and a bottle of soju. Such a thoughtful gesture! Ordering was a breeze with the tablet on our table. We tried a variety of dishes, and everything was delicious and reasonably priced. I asked about the karaoke room, and since it was a quiet day, Yuri generously offered it to us free of charge for an hour (normally it's $100/hour on busy days, not consumable). The room was huge, the sound system was great, and they had a solid selection of up-to-date songs. It was the perfect way to cap off our celebration. I'll definitely be coming back--great food, great service, and a fun vibe all around! Tip: I prefer the Boneless Chicken with the Soy Garlic Sauce on the side so the chicken stays crispy longer. Also the Beef Bulgogi is perfectly seasoned and not too sweet, just the way I like it.
We came here for a late-night bite and were so glad to find a spot open late in the area. The portions are generous, and the cheese donkatsu is a rare find in the Bay Area. The Korean fried chicken is also authentic and delicious. Will definitely be coming back!
Signature fried chicken is very moist and yum. They are able to accommodate large parties easily. Good vibes, good food, and a good time!!! The waiter is also very nice!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Poncha K Newark is a Korean flavor powerhouse! Their crispy fried chicken and delicious kimchi fried rice hit all the right notes—tangy, savory, and full of umami. The bulgogi stir-fry beef was tender and perfectly seasoned, making every bite irresistible. The standout? The cheese corn: beautifully roasted whole kernels coated in melty cheese with a hint of saltiness—think Korean-style elote. And if you’re looking for a fun night out, they’ve got a private karaoke room that’s all the rage with the younger crowd. Can’t wait to return and try more—this spot is a must-visit! #PaulEverHome @BayAreaWithPaul
Good food, Good vibes! Especially, 'Pocha Fried Chicken', the taste is wonderful. There are several big tables with a wide space, which suitable for both family and friend party.
The fried chicken is good. The one with sause and the Rapoki is a bit sweet for my taste. The vibe is really good for drink and chat.
We ordered Korean Fried Chicken (take away) - it’s Very Sweet & Very JUICY - kids can eat easily - for the price the quantity I feel very less. We paid total $27. Weekends it’s very rush I think, Except that everything Very nice My kid played there very spacious and took lot of photos too.
