I love Korean food. There's a few regular spots that I usually pick in Knoxville. K-Pocha is a…read morerelatively new entrant in this space. So, I was curious if this would be a new top contender. To me, it's not quite as good as the other options. The beef bulgogi bowl was pretty good and the egg on top was nicely done. But, I'd rank the taste/flavor as not as good the Gogi Korean and Won Korean. Also, no banchan (Korean appetizers) like Gogi and less appealing interior atmosphere. There was a smell of rank cooking oil that seemed to permeate the dining area. That bothered me the whole meal and made it hard to enjoy the food. Also, comparing K-Pocha to competitors, it's more expensive. If I am paying more, I expect it to be better. Service was decent and prompt. So, no issues there. Just not my favorite place for Korean food. Overall: It's just ok.

The food was pretty good! I think the chicken was fried perfectly and the white snow onions are…read morevery much something not within my normal ordering but its totally worth a try! The cheese pull on the fried rice was awesome and the cheese fries have that artificial cheese flavor in the best way possible (like a cheese curl or whale crackers). Our server was more than happy to explain any of the food to us and was on top of our drinks. The decorations are pretty cool too and they play a lot of popular kpop music as well. Overall a pretty great first visit for an adventurous eater! :D

I feel in love with Korean food while serving there. For me, the first thing I look for are…read moreauthentic side dishes; kimchi, pickled veggies, turnips, etc. GoGi scores a 90 in that category. A score of 100 would have been warranted due to the small sizes of the side dishes. It's all you can eat for side dishes but after a while, you get tired of asking. Our server was rather new and that contributed to the deduction. My main dish was the beef bulgogi and scores 100. Cooked to perfection, a very ample portion and served hot. Never had bulgogi with slivered mushrooms but it worked amazingly well. Tasted a few other dishes and each was a standout, especially the chicken teriyaki.

The lunch I got was HUGE and could easily have fed 2 or even 3 people eating normally. I took a LOT home, and like most foods, it's never as good at home. I had a bulgogi meal, with rice and several side dishes coming first. I could have done with just that-- all were delicious. But later, a huge platter of lovely beef (with mushrooms and scallions) joined the table. What a feast. Good selection of beers although they were out of the one Korean beer they had on tap.

Pretty good. I lived in Miami where there were two CM Chicken franchises close by - so I have a…read morepretty good idea of what the chicken is supposed to taste like. The chicken here is definitely good, maybe smaller in size compared to what I'm used too - regardless, flavor and crispiness is basically the same. What I found odd was that the menu was drastically smaller than the ones I've been to in Miami, which would offer other Korean staples like tteokbokki and fish cakes as additional side options. Maybe the Knoxville food scene just doesn't justify carrying those other options. I feel like this locations business is primarily takeout and delivery based since there was basically no other customers inside the physically restaurant dining in. Pricing is pretty crazy though compared to other local fried chicken options. Would not recommend the calamari as it was just average. Definitely recommending to just stick to the chicken if you do go here.

There used to be a really…read moregood Chinese restaurant in Knoxville...honestly i don't remember its name or location but it doesn't exist anymore. My mom said Asia Kitchen is the best Chinese in the city now. Unfortunately if that is correct, then it makes me very sad. I have eaten at "Real" Chinese restaurants before and this is not close imo. I got Szechuan Beef...this is supposed to be a very spicy dish. My order was not spicy at all...not saying it was bland, but it didn't have the "kick" I was expecting. My mom shared a whole steamed fish with her friends. They did enjoy it, but it wasn't for me. I have decided to bump my rating up to four stars because of the wonton/egg drop soup. I didn't even realize this was a thing. We got one large serving and it was plenty for the table. Finally the reason i didn't give 5 stars was because of the table service. The others brought wine , but i ordered a Diet Coke when we were seated. Unfortunately it never arrived...our server acknowledged my order, but I guess she forgot during the dinner rush. I did have water so I didn't complain. Overall dinner was ok...it was very nice that we were allowed to take our time.

Each side had a bar, but only one was open at the time we went. We didn't get food, but it looked like they had some yummy options from what we saw get delivered to other tables. The music was good. The people were friendly as well. This is definitely a place we would return to if we come back in town!

I saw the ramen on the Yelp pictures and it spoke to me, so I walked in and ordered some. You have to stand in line at the bar to order your food so that took awhile, but the food came out pretty quick. I wasn't too impressed with the ramen, and I've had ramen all over the world. The broth was good, I enjoyed the spicy flavor. However, having tomatoes in the ramen was weird and I didn't enjoy that. My biggest complaint is there was very little meat in the ramen, like 2 small chunks of brisket. It seems like a great place to have drinks and hang out, but as far as the food it was meh to me.
