Small hole-in-the-wall place with great service. We had to wait 20 min since we came during dinner time. Even though the place was small, the seating felt spacious. They didn’t give menus; you have to scan a QR Code to look at the menu. A server comes to take the order. Due to how busy it was, our fried chicken took half an hour (which the server warned us).
All the good tasted really good and presentation looked beautiful. The fried chicken was great quality, but I did notice that the seasonings to dip on the side was salt/pepper and a sweet chili that you could get in a bottle. The fried chicken still tastes great with the dips, but was hoping for homemade sauces. Service was great. I would come back again to try the other dishes.
Parking lot is small, so recommend coming here a little before or after dinner hour.

When I heard that my favorite Korean restaurant was opening a location in Columbia, I knew I had to check it out. I’ve been a regular at the Baltimore location for a few years, so I brought my friends with me when this one opened. Just like the original, the atmosphere was great for catching up, and the food did not disappoint. As a Korean myself, the flavors felt familiar, and my non-Korean friends loved it too. The server recommended the seafood cream udon and curry omelet, and both were a hit. The fusion dishes here never disappoint! Whether you’re with friends or family, I highly recommend checking this place out!

The best Korean Pocha restaurant in MD.
Cream chicken omelet is a perfect dish for someone looking for full of flavors. Great service and atmosphere. Would come back again 10/10.

I saw this place recommended on nomtastickim’s instagram page and decided to give this place a try. Just like she said, the fried chicken was phenomenal and the best I’ve had in Maryland. My friends wanted to try the new spicy jokbal dish (not pictured here) and it was amazing! This is a must visit restaurant if you’re in the Columbia area!

Kong Pocha – Authentic Korean Spot Worth Visiting
If you’re looking for an authentic Korean restaurant, Kong Pocha is a must. The curry chicken with udon was absolutely amazing—rich, flavorful, and perfectly comforting. And the fried chicken? Hands down some of the best I’ve ever tasted: crispy, juicy, and seasoned to perfection.
On top of the incredible food, the service was impeccable—attentive, friendly, and welcoming from start to finish. Everything about this place hit the mark. I’ll definitely be back and highly recommend it to anyone craving real Korean comfort food. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Food is absolutely terrible. Didn’t even finish any of the food. Chicken is gross, dry, heavily breaded and no flavor. Fries were cold and hard. Rice cakes and fish cakes are mushy. Eggs taste like gas and are burnt on the bottom and rice is mushy and overcooked.
They charge 20% gratuity and didn’t give us menus, we had to go up for everything including asking for water.
Won’t be back.

Came here with a group for my birthday dinner and it was such a great experience overall. The space felt lively but still comfortable, and everything we ordered came out really well. I was a little nervous about portion sizes for a table of six, but that ended up not being an issue at all. The portions were filling, and we left satisfied. The staff were attentive and friendly, which made the night feel special. Would definitely come back for another group dinner.

Kong Pocha is an awesome Korean pub that absolutely delivers on flavor and vibe. Everything we ordered hit the spot — the fried chicken was perfectly crispy and juicy, the seafood pancake was savory and packed with flavor, and the chicken feet and spicy pork feet were bold, authentic, and seriously satisfying for anyone who loves classic Korean pub food. The atmosphere is lively and fun without feeling overwhelming, making it an ideal place to hang out with friends over food and drinks. It’s the kind of spot where the food keeps coming, the table stays full, and the night just gets better the longer you’re there.

I was stationed in Korea and this is the most authentic Korean food I’ve had since I left. The fried chicken, topokki, beer and Soju are out of this world. The portions are massive so bring friends to a Korean feast.
