    Cheese Tteokbokki
    Valerie Y.

    This place definitely gives pocha vibes. I would recommend it for people who want a late night dinner accompanied with soju or beer. Unfortunately my friends and I were looking for a regular dinner spot with good Korean food, and I think K Pocha fell short in that regard. - Pancake: 2/5, pretty dry in my opinion - Cheese Tteokbokki: 4/5, I really liked the cheese on top - Pork Belly Stirfry: 2/5, was not a fan of the veggie choices or the pork belly itself, just felt like an amalgam of random things in the kitchen - Corn Cheese: 5/5, never misses

    This is a good place to go late at night to drink with friends and have some bar food, but I wouldn't recommend it for a random dinner out. The service is average, the inside is super loud even when no one is there because of all the TV screens and music, and the non- bar food leaves something to be desired. Some of the better items are the Tteokbokki and the Kimchi Pajeon. If it's fried or if it's street food, it's probably good here. The rice cakes weren't overcooked and had a solid ratio of tteok to fish cake to egg. The Kimchi Pajeon was super crispy and had both good flavor and spice. Would not recommend this place for the more restaurant menu items like the Seafood Soondubu, which tasted like Shin Ramen and garlic, but for $19. You're better off going basically anywhere else in Federal Way, plus the ambiance makes this a hard spot to have a nice meal at unless you're drunk (and even then, not sure I would love the TVs everywhere). Overall, decent spot for the right kind of night, but if I'm reviewing this as a restaurant, the food, the price, and the feel has to come first. 2 stars.

    My boyfriend and I came here as we needed to get some late night dinner and saw this spot closes at 2am. We arrived around a little after minute and saw that there was only a few tables taken with plenty of tables and chairs for more customers. The space is pretty large despite how it looks outside. We were greeted and directed to a table while being provided menus and water. My boyfriend decided on the cheese tteokbokki while I got the spicy jjambbong soup. We were told that we receive rice with specific entrees but I wish it was more clear on which ones as we received only one bowl of rice for my entree as it is just the soup without noodles. As we were waiting, I saw on Yelp that they allowed dogs and asked a waitress if we could bring our dogs in and they said as long as it isn't a big dog. I brought in our two medium dogs and the waitresses told me that they were meaning smaller dogs. But they said it was okay just for this time and moved us to a private booth as to avoid any tripping hazards. They even brought out water bowls for dogs and were very kind. We received our banchan first which had quite a nice variety and they were delightfully delicious. Once we got our food, the portions here are huge and the pricing is justified as it is definitely food to be shared among 2-4 people. I wish the jjambong soup was a bit more seasoned and spicy as it was missing that kick and wok hei taste. However, there were plenty of seafood and vegetables inside. My boyfriend has ordered the cheese tteokbokki cause there wasn't a spicy indicator but after eating a good portion of it, he said say that it was spicy (he has a low spice tolerance). Other than that, we were very satisfied with our meal and look forward to coming back to trying out more of their dishes and drinks.

    A solid spot for late-night Korean food, though there's room for improvement. We ordered the Galbi and Budae Jjigae, which were decent but not mind-blowing--I'd rate them around a 6.5/10. The flavors were there, but I felt like they could be a bit more refined. The ambiance was okay, but it definitely has potential to be better. Maybe some tweaks to the decor or atmosphere would elevate the experience. That said, the service was excellent--Korean hospitality never disappoints! The staff was attentive, friendly, and made sure we were taken care of. Overall, it's a good spot if you're craving Korean food late at night, but I'd love to see some improvements in both the food and ambiance. Would I come back? Probably, but I might try other dishes next time!

    Food was tasty & good portions for price! Banchans fresh. Highly recommend: Army stew & bulgogi hot pot for a rainy night. Also family feel despite set up as a late night bar spot. It was one of the chefs birthday & staff all gathered to have a family meal together. And shared some extra dishes with us complimentary (Jap chae & another Korean sausage fried in egg).

    We just found this place, it's such a great late night comfort food spot! Everything was so good and the atmosphere is very chill, definitely coming back again

    Came here like 8 pm on a Sunday and it was basically empty. Food came out quickly though but I just thought it was just okay. None of the banchan really stood out to me. Was all pretty typical. The tteokbokki was decent but also didn't really stand out. Also got a kimchi pancake that definitely wasn't as good as other places that I've had. I appreciated that they had tvs all over though so it was pretty fun watching all of the music videos that were playing.

    Full bar, great service, food was amazing and the place was chill and laid back. It's a new place in federal way and we had to try and it didn't disappoint. Truly recommend will definitely go back to try other foods.

It was crunchy and not too salty or bland. The ratio of scallion, seafood, and batter was perfect. They did not skimp out on the squid. The size of the squid was about one phalange. When I bit into the squid it was chewy, springy, and meaty. It's amazing to me how they managed to make the pancake crunchy despite filling it with so many ingredients. The kimchi and radish were super flavorful and not too spicy! Kimchi was sooo good. Even though the side dishes were limited, I enjoyed the freshness and taste. I also tried the samgyetang (Korean chicken soup) and bibim naengmyeon (spicy cold noodles) for the first time. The samgyetang was light and hearty. The broth could have been a bit sweeter. I probably wouldn't order this again though because I like more flavor. Though the bibim naengmyeon was too spicy for me, it was refreshing. The noodles were chewy and the cucumbers added a nice crunch.

However, I had a horrible experience with service in May. It was by far the WORST service I've ever received, even based Asian restaurant standards (iykyk). I've always had older servers, usually ladies but on occasion on gentleman. This time, it was a young girl. It was my first time seeing her there. She had no facial expression to start. And after she repeated our orders, it was incorrect so I correct her. She said "I know", and repeated the wrong order again. When I clarified by listing the correct order, she just rolled her eyes and walked away. Isn't it a server's job to take order, and make sure it's correct? I did not take away from the tips because there are other servers who helped bring our food and refill the banchans, but this encounter made me not want to go back for a while, despite how much I like the food. Management - please train your staff about customer service, especially the new hires.

Got seated promptly at a table with a grill. Looked at the menu and noticed it changed to have an AYCE Option as well as the regular one. It looked different than the previous one which had combos and whatnot for parties of 2 or more. Anyway, the 3 of us decided to get the Classic Combo for $38.99/per person. Initially requested for 2 orders of Beef Brisket, 2 Pork Belly, 2 Pork Gyoza, a Bulgogi French Fries and an Egg Roll along with 4 Rice bowls. For some odd reason, our grill at the table heated up very slowly even on high! Had to wait a while to grill the meat and took a long time to cook them because the induction was too low. After our first order of food items, we asked multiple times for more of the Beef Brisket, Pork Belly, Egg Rolls, Gyoza, Rice and Japchae (Stir Fried Glass Noodles). It seemed like the quality of the BBQ meat went down compared to our last visit. Maybe because they had changed it to a more prominent All-You-Can-Eat BBQ joint? I'm not quite sure, but we could definitely taste the difference in the meat quality. The other food items were tasty, though. Have to remember that their portion sizes changed to be smaller as well. I suppose they did that in order to save food inventory for the AYCE option in case not everyone finished their portions and had big amounts of leftover food. Service was pretty good, received decent table service and requests for refills on water, side dishes and additional menu item orders. Overall, we had a pleasant dine-in experience. Next time we may end up ordering from the regular menu. As for parking, it was actually pretty packed in the front and back of the restaurant. Guess it was a busy time for people to eat their dinner at the time we went.

Super crispy and crunchy but not a ton of meat a more breading. It felt small for a half a chicken or even a whole chicken. Not sure what size chicken they use for "whole" chicken. Yangnyum was good but the chicken was not coated too well. Top ones barely had any sauce and bottom ones were drenched in sauce. I wish they would toss it in sauce a little more evenly. I do also wish they would include the 1 side radish with each order as for Korean fried chicken place, radishes come with chicken as a standard item. Like ketchup for fries. The online ordering was easy and effortless and was done a few minutes earlier than promised which was great. The employee was nice and I was able to pick up my order right away. Overall, I do like this place and will return but wish they could improve on some stuff like making sure sauce is evenly coated on all sauce based chicken.

We were also misled in the fact that we thought we could get fried chicken here only to find out they don't have it on their menu anymore. This was during a Friday evening around 6pm, and my friend and I got seated immediately since the restaurant was empty. You've got a lot of tables inside that are relatively clean and seat mostly groups of 4 or so. News in Korean is playing on a TV nearby, and the interior just feels calming with the uniform wooden floors and tables. Menu is limited here though most of it is for their traditional hangover soups. My friend and I wanted some meat dishes so we got both their spicy pork and beef bulgogi on sizzling grills. Both meats came sizzling when brought to our table, though they weren't piping hot from what I remember. Spicy pork was hard to chew at times, and my friend had to spit out one piece because it was too hard. It wasn't too spicy though I think it would have benefited from more spice since the flavor wasn't too strong. The beef bulgogi was both of our favorites, though the color wasn't too appealing and I felt there was a ton of liquid, as if the beef was plated before all the water evaporated from the pan. Service was top-notch for both of us, though. Staff were attentive in answering our questions, grabbing our utensils and getting us water when we asked. I felt this was a one-off visit because we didn't get the dishes this place is more well-known for, so I'll come back again to have their hangover soups instead.

I had too much chicken and side dishes (which they regularly replenished!) to really have much of it, but what I had was clear and tasty. I'm not really in this area much, but I'd recommend it to others! The location is a little odd and tucked away in a closed plaza, but plenty of parking and the food is good and the staff is quick.
