The family and I visited K Pocha for dinner, and the food and service were 5 stars. The restaurant felt like a family run business with warm attentive service. The service really stood out and was excellent. We ordered the ribs, fried calamari, tteokbakki and beef and tofu. Every dish was seasoned perfectly with tons of flavor. Food came out quickly from the kitchen too. Would highly recommend for authentic Korean food with excellent service. read more

Delicious! We were seated right away for an afternoon meal. Our server was very nice and the ambiance is simple. It seems like a family runned business and we enjoy supporting small businesses. They have a t.v. playing music in the background. We decided to share the kimchi pork belly, fried chicken and the hot pot soup. Each of us received a small bowl of rice to go along with our food. The fried chicken included big pieces. The seasoning and spice on the Kimchi pork belly was just right. Someone in our group did mention they wish there was less fat on the pork belly. Everything was delicious and felt fresh. 3 of us shared each of the plates. I'd definitely come back. read more

The food is really tasty, we went in on the way back home from LA and it's pretty late (nearly close to closing time). The staff were kind and friendly. The waiter even gave us more side dishes as refills. Love their fish cake side dish and Napa cabbage Kimchi. We ordered "stone pot Bibimbap"," Corn Cheese", and "Army Stew". Corn cheese and Stone pot bibimbap were really nice and tasty. Army stew was still good yet could done better. Overall, this restaurant is 10/10. read more

This is a small unassuming and casual restaurant. Quiet music plays in the background. Charles, my server, was so very polite and attentive. I ordered the main dish #6 Spicy Chicken, it's marinated with sliced vegetables, rice included. I ordered mine lightly spicy and wish I had been a bit bolder with the spice. The chicken had a delightful flavor, it was moist, tender & perfectly cooked. My meal started with small servings of Kimchi, steamed umami broccoli, Kewpie mayo potato salad & marinated zucchini, delish! They have a menu with many tasty options. I will definitely be back soon to try more of their delicious options. Try them, you'll be glad you did. read more

Had a great date night here a few weeks ago. I've been here in the past but hadn't been here since the new menu came out. I wanted my guy to try Korean food for the first time. I am happy to report that he enjoyed the experience as well as the meal. Introduced the Bhan Chan and the LA short ribs and soon tofu. It was a great meal and I'm looking forward to trying some of the new items. read more

I absolutely love Korean food and K Pocha is my favorite place in Bako to get it! I came on a weekend around 8pm for a late dinner. There were a couple other tables when we arrived, so we were immediately seated. The inside was very clean and comforting. We ordered the bossam and a fried rice dish to share. The bossam was super tender and flavorful. The fried rice was also quite delicious, but the bossam was the star. Overall, we had a great experience and I'll definitely be back for more! read more

K Pocha & Restaurant - Bossam - Korean Near Me - Bakersfield, California

I recommend this place for anyone who loves authentic Korean food. The portion sizes are a descent size. We were a party of 5 and we shared 4 entrees and a tteokbokkk appetizer. The tteokbokki was cooked perfectly but i wish it had a creamier sauce! The short rib was very flavorful and not over cooked. The restaurant is pretty small and they get busy. Unfortunately our waiter didn't check on us much. Their banchan was delicious and i wish we were able to get a few refills on our tables favorite ones. All in all I do plan on coming back and i can't wait to try more items on their menu. read more

A nice small korean restaurant with plenty of options, We came for the first time on friday night and just after seating, the place really kicked up. there was a nice atmosphere with music and good conversation. Service was a tad slow getting our drinks and order but the food made up for it. The tteokbokki was really good and the rice cakes were soft and bouncy and not too spicy, i do wish there was a rose tteokbokki option. The marinated boneless short rib had lots of flavor and retained the juices really well! my favorite was the beef brisket soft tofu soup, which was absolutely delicious, it had a generous helping of thin beef brisket, loads of soft tofu and a nice egg yolk in the center and green onions, overall the dish was flavorful, hot and filled me right up. All dishes came with banchan and rice. read more

Don't be fooled by the exterior. While outside, it looks like just any other restaurant, their Korean food here is so authentic and probably one of the best in town. They serve banchan while waiting for your food. Everything is so flavorful and I always loved the variety, giving your palate different flavor profiles, getting you ready for your meal. Their battered fried chicken is perfectly seasoned and tender. Their bibimbap is equally good, just make sure you put the right amount of sauce and mix well! My husband and I shared both and we still had enough to take home. Customer service is excellent as well! Definitely going back! read more

This is THE best Korean restaurant in Bakersfield. Earthing is fresh and authentic in flavor, and the kitchen is staffed with the couple who own the place with their son serving front of house.

This is my favorite restaurant in bakersfield! the server was so kind, the atmosphere was relaxed and the entire area was clean! their food is so delicious, i personally loved their japchae beef rice, it was super filling and very fresh! we also had their batters fried chicken and my entire family loved it highly recommend (it is a bit pricier than other places but it is 100% worth it!! ) read more

If you're craving Korean food you need to come here. It's sits on the corner of the shopping center and is a great find, searching for it will be worth it ! Sides were perfect, and fried chicken had the perfect crunch with great flavor, sauce on it was sticky perfection. Beef tofu soup flavors have depth and that kick of spice to warm you up. Bibimbap was very good but next till I will ask for the hot stone, missed the burnt bits of rice at the bottom I didn't think about when I asked for a cold bowl.... Shrimp fried rice didn't have giant shrimp but was shrimp was plentiful and flavor was great! Go once... You'll find yourself going back! We'll definitely be coming here often! read more

This restaurant has good customer service and good Korean food, very friendly people.

This was our second time at K Pocha and it did not disappoint! We ordered 3 dishes for our table (3 adults and 1 infant) and it was more than enough food, we even had leftovers. We ordered the shrimp pancake, bibimbap, and the marinated sliced beef ribeye (served with rice and multiple sides), beer, and makgeolli (sparkling rice wine, served in a cute teapot to share). Everything was fresh, tasty, and filling. Our waiter was so kind and accommodating- he quickly brought us a high chair, a water cup with a lid, and even plastic utensils for our baby. The restaurant doesn't seem like much from the outside, but the service is great, the food is delicious, and the inside is very clean. You'll should definitely check it out if you haven't already! read more

So,so,so good! The brisket soon tofu was incredibly comforting. Soft, velvety tofu in a flavorful broth with the perfect amount of heat. It was loaded with tender brisket, squash, and carrots, and felt like it was made with care. The Bossam pork belly was equally good tender, rich, and paired perfectly with the fresh, crisp cabbage and pickled raddish. The banchan were all excellent, including kimchi, radish, cucumber, broccoli, bean sprouts, and seaweed salad. Everything was fresh, generous, and well-seasoned. I'll definitely be coming back soon! read more

K Pocha has been one of my favorite spots to go with either friends or all by myself. The vibe is friendly for any occasion. The customer service is always tip top, and the food is always what I'm looking for. I don't eat out often, but when I do, it's for the bossam. I decided to try the fried chicken as well today. The thing I love about yangnyeom fried chicken is it still keeps ALL the crunch while being properly sauced. The chicken was insanely soft and juicy too‍. The bossam was very flavorful as always. Soft and clean tasting. The vegetables and sides were crisp, and I always love the kimchi here. Not over fermented, still great to eat with meats rather than so close to fermentation it's time to cook it (iykyk). I'll always come back read more

This place is wonderful! It was my first time having korean food that wasn't KBBQ, and my girlfriend and I arrived an hour or so before closing because we were tired from our busy lives. It seems to be run by a family, and they treated us VERY well. We ordered two dishes that were incredible (pictured) and highly recommend the one on the left (hot stone bibimbap), and the second one was a beef tofu soup. Since we were the last ones in the restaurant we found ourselves chatting with the family. We learned about different foods, and we tried a pork dish they offered to have us sample. This place is a gem. It looks strange from the outside because of it's unfavorable location, but do yourself a favor and enjoy some food here. It's worth it. I'm looking forward to coming back! read more
