What a wonderful experience of Korean food here in Knoxville.Our favorites of the day were the rose tteokbokki and the spicy squid Kimbap.We are excited to go back and try the chicken feet dishes and their side dishes.
Amazing food & attentive staff! The environment makes you feel immersed with the food as well! Will definitely visit this place again!

I went on a date with my hubby here, and we were very impressed with literally everything. The service was quick, the atmosphere was Kool/peaceful, and the food was so good that we ate every last grain of rice. I loved eating off from the iron skillet platter, and the portions we perfect.

A Taste of Korea comes to Knoxville at K Pocha!K Pocha definitely brings the vibrant flavors of Korean street food to Knoxville, offering a laid-back yet trendy atmosphere filled with charming Korean signs and street stall vibes. It's the perfect spot to kick back with friends and enjoy some great food while K-genre music plays behind you!While the menu may be compact, the dishes were flavorful! Although I wished for rice cake and sausage skewers (please add them!!!), the selection we enjoyed, including honey garlic Korean Chicken style tenders, original gimbap (ham), potato skewer (tornado potato), rose tteok-bokki, and fish sausage Korean corn dog, exceeded expectations in taste and quality.My favorites were definitely the rose tteok-bokki and honey garlic Korean Chicken style tenders. It's clear that K Pocha has the potential to become a favorite spot in Knoxville, bringing tasty Korean street food as they grow. I will be back to try more!
Delicious Korean Food at a phenomenal price. Service was great, and the space was incredibly clean. We will be returning

About 2:30 on a Sunday and the food is wonderful. Very laid back but prompt service. Had the ramen soup and the beef and vegetable. Both were delicious

So good! Delicious flavors and spice, we loved everything we got. They had a good mix of spicy and non-spicy items on their menu so both parents and kids were happy. Our food came out hot, fresh, and fast. Owner was very friendly and helpful. We will definitely go back!

I looooooooved the food. I'm so glad they opened one near the West Knoxville location. The fried chicken was exactly like CM chicken if not better. I think the price is also not bad given that we're in Knoxville. FYI!!! This is not a Korean dining. This is a Korean night out place for drinking and eating so don't expect side dishes like Gogi. It's a really nice vibe with their menu because of this. Owner says he has other events planned for the official opening!!! It's a small hole-in-the-wall right now so I hope it doesn't get too busy for us regulars . Please order the rose tteokbokki and spicy mayo fried chicken. Don't let the mayo part deter you. It's exactly like a gochujang snow onion fried chicken. Perfect combo with beer and soju!!!
Wonderful food. Great service. Honestly some of the BEST chicken tenders I’ve had ever. The ramen is also phenomenal

This place is absolutely amazing! I was surprised that they have only been open for about a month! Their tteok-bokki is definitely by far the best and most authentic in Knoxville! We also loved their fried chicken and their kimbap. The waiter and the cook were so friendly and made sure that everything tasted well and nothing was too spicy for our liking. Will definitely be going back and hope this place stays open for a long time!

Wish them all the best but this was my worst dining experience of the last 5-10 years. The waiter was totally unattentive. Had to flag him down repeatedly. We tried quite a variety of things. Most of it was just disappointing with a few things being genuinely awful. It was almost humorous with how poorly things went. I probably would have skipped leaving a review had I not seen the perfect 5 star rating. That's beyond incredible to me...

We came during soft opening on a Friday evening. Plenty of parking in the plaza. The interior is very "street" style. We got our table really fast since we came before 6pm. I've always been looking for a good Korean restaurant and this one for sure is. The bulgogi kimbap is great. Our chicken wings with honey and garlic sauce are so yummy. And the biggest surprise-the Army soup, became our favorite. It is not a hard thing to make but hard to make it this tasty. The soup base, the ingredients and the Damuji that came with it, are just perfect. Hopefully in the future they have more choices on the menu and serve banchan.
