Kochi Po-Cha

This place is close to what we had in San Diego, CA. My partner and I have been in a long search for food that is similar to what was available in the Los Angeles area and this place really hit it! The service is pretty decent depending on how busy they get. Music can be a bit loud depending on who works and how crowded/busy the place is at the time.Their price on the menu has gone up in the past few years, but I still think it's worth trying for the experience. I do wish each dish would come with their own rice (some dishes come with it, some don't). Strongly recommend going with a few friends to share a few dishes. Their chicken gizzard dish, intestines dish and army stew are a must try! The fried chicken combo is great too!!

Was greeted upon walking in, but my order wasn't taken for quite some time and there only two other tables besides me...Went specifically for the Makchang. There are three side orders that came with my entree: fishcake sautee, kimchi, and potato salad. The main star of the show was the Makchang- they asked if I preferred beef or pig intestine. I opted for the pig. Some parts were gamey and extremely chewy. They prepare on a stone dish and it comes out sizzling over sliced onions and roasted garlic with chives, special sauce, and home fried potato chips over top. The portion is very generous. Could serve 2-4 people. Ambiance is very welcoming and inviting. You can leave your mark and write something special on the walls. Will be back again.

The food here is delicious. And for the food alone, I would give a solid 4.5 stars out of five. After my first visit, I have been craving their short rib soup. The birth is light but extremely flavorful. The sweet potato noodles are the perfect texture, never overcooked with that nice soft chew and perfect for slurping. The beef rib is tender and full of flavor, just like broth. Pro tip, when you're done with the noodles add some rice to your broth. The chicken wings are always delicious. Crispy on the outside and juicy In the outside. The batter in the chicken is not too heavy either. The wings are big too. Plenty of meat on these wings. We did get a small side of banchan with the wings consisting of fermented kimchi, cucumber and fish cakes. The reason for the lack of stars is because on our last visit, we walked in at opening and almost all the tables had remnants of guests being there. Mostly eaten food, empty glasses and lots of dishes on the tables. Halfway through our meal, it clicked in our heads that it was all leftover from closing. So instead of cleaning at the end of their late service, it was left to be cleaned the next day. Our server was attentive to us & we did order from a QFC menu and he did take our payment at the table. So definitely no qualms about the service for us while we were there. Would I come back? I cannot lie I love their short rib soup. But low key worried about the housekeeping of it all.

Great food, great service, and cozy ambiance! Nice place to chill, talk, and drink. Will come back for sure :)

Kochi Po-Cha is such a great hang out spot! It's very casual and serves dishes and sides that go well with alcohol (soju). The service was okay, since you can sit yourself anywhere and order through a QR code. The food has a bit of a long wait time, but totally worth it since everything is made to order. We tried the tteokbokki, which had really chewy rice cakes and fish cake. We also had to add cheese and ramen, which elevated the quality of this dish. You simply can't go wrong with tteokbokki, so there wasn't anything too special about this dish compared to other tteokbokki spots. The beef bulgogi was very rich in flavor, it was seasoned and garnished perfectly. I loved how soft the meat was, and I would definitely recommend ordering this dish since it comes out on a hot stone plate and stays warm throughout your meal. I would recommend ordering a side of rice to have with this meal. I had to try the Korean fried chicken here, since I'm a frequent customer at Da-Wa (another Korean restaurant next door) and I LOVE their fried chicken. This place did not disappoint, because now I have two favorite Korean fried chicken spots. The Parmesan wings consists of a dry rub, while the honey garlic wings are more saucy. Both were so delicious and crispy, but my favorite was the honey garlic since it was sweet and savory. Overall, the portions here are very generous for the price. It's nice coming here with a group of friends and being able to share everything. I would definitely come here again for the Korean fried chicken!

First time coming here on a Thursday evening. No wait and many empty tables at the time. We ordered off a menu via scanning the QR code on our mobile. We still needed to go to the counter to pay though.Friendly staff. Spacious environment. Free popcorns. The food was pretty good.Noted there were no side dishes like other places would offer. I noticed some food on the chair before I sat down and I cleaned it.

It was my first time at Kochi Po-cha and I was really excited to try everything! We went at around 9pm at night and we were able to get seated almost immediately, even with a large party. The interior is kind of dark and has plenty of seating. This place is perfect for late night hangouts with friends and we saw many other groups hanging out here as well. We got half and half chicken, however I forgot which flavors we got. The chicken texture was perfect!! I loved how crispy it was and how they gave a variety of pieces of chicken (drums, thighs). I also really enjoyed their spicy rice cakes, which wasn't too sweet and had the perfect flavor! :) Overall, this is definitely a spot I see myself going back to in the future with friends!

Love the vibes of Kochi Po-cha! The lighting and decoration in here is just simply too cute, and they have a bunch of drinking games available for if you want to come and get drunk with friends :)We ordered the half and half fried chicken and grilled octopus for the 3 of us, and the amount was poppin off. We had to take a handful of pieces of chicken to go.The honey garlic and sweet and spicy sauces are so tasty, but I wish we tried the parmesan instead because they were a bit similar to each other.Servers were friendly and we waited a bit for our dinner, but overall had a great time.

The service was amazing and the teboki was delicioussssss!!!! I also really liked their plates and dishes!

We ended up at this place by chance about a year ago but it is SO good I've been coming ever since. They are open late too and it's a really fun atmosphere later at night. I spent my 26th birthday here last night with a group of my friends and Chris and Gina took the BEST care of everyone. Not to mention every single thing on the menu is incredible! I think it's safe to say they have lots of new regulars after bringing my friends along. They made my birthday feel so special I can't thank them enough!!!
