Everything was delicious! The glazed pig feet were beautifully presented, super flavorful, and the portion was generous enough to feed two people. The corn cheese was fresh, tasty, and nicely presented. Reliable service and convenient experience overall—definitely ordering again! Just make sure you heat it up before you eat if you’re getting it delivered like me!(:

Kimchi pancakes are highly recommended!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Bay Pocha = Late Night Win
Came for the vibes, stayed for the kimchi fried rice, rose tteokbokki, and bossam—all straight fire. Flavor was on point. And shoutout to Cho, our guy who made the night even better with great service and good energy. We’ll be back for sure!

Food is delicious. I always get the fried chicken wings, chicken gizzards, army stew, kimchi fried rice, seafood pancake and galbi.
Vibes are great I always come back and the staff is always welcoming.
Whenever I want to drink soju and eat good food this is my spot to go

Please beware. Never mind the their feedback that you see at Google. This isn't korean food. The korean food is way better than this restaurant.

**1/5 stars due to rat issue**
I would rate the overall food a 3.5/5. The seafood pancake was really good but the bulgogi was kind of tough. The pork belly was pretty decent.
However we saw a live rat at the end of the meal right in front of our table on the wall. This is why I am giving this a 1/5. Due to unsanitary conditions and potential health risks to customers and staff it is not recommended to come here until this is fixed. A review on Yelp from 5 days ago also states the same. See photos I posted for rat. The restaurant comped our meal due to us noticing the rat but it seems it had already been there for days.

Good place to hang out with friends but food flavor is lacking. Galbi was ok but nothing special. Pork Belly is definitely not worth it. Japchae is not good. Army Stew is not worth it either.

Here’s everything we ordered:
👉🏻Half and Half Fried Chicken Wings $23.95
I only ate the non-spicy ones and those were delicious! It’s fried to perfection and each piece was so big, so meaty :) It came with a side of salad & radish. The dish didn’t just come with chicken wings but drumettes as well.
👉🏻Soft Tofu Soup $18.95
I chose the non-spicy level, it comes with grounded beef and seafood. This is the most flavorful Korean tofu soup I’ve ever had. The broth is so rich and really taste like they’ve been boiling this for hours. They also give a lot of tofu, beef and seafood.
👉🏻Korean Miso Stew $20.95
My mom ordered this and this was such a big portion! This can definitely be shared between 2 people if you aren’t to hungry. It came with plenty of seafood as well, this one had a lot of squid compared to the Soft tofu soup.
👉🏻Hot Stone Bibimbap $22.95
My partner ordered this one, this was also a pretty big portion and came with plentiful toppings. It’s always fun to mix everything together and eat it in one bite.

My favorite Korean place! I like the galbi and tofu soup. They're not stingy with the portions and they are super clean which is awesome. We usually come earlier like 5pm to have dinner but I know it gets loud/busy later in the night when people come to drink soju which is also fun.

Service is good, but food is bland and tasteless. It’s not an authentic Korean place

I love Bay Pocha! Honestly the best pocha i’ve been to in SF. Best ambience and vibes, amazing food, portions are great, kind and quick service :) Super fun spot to come have a drink with friends!
The vibe at Bay Pocha is loud. The restaurant was full at 8pm with a line outside. It is mostly college age people. The food here is OK. We had the wings $22, spicy wings $24, kimchi fried rice $19, pork belly $32, jap chae $19, bulgogi $35, seafood pancake $21, spicy pork $33 and rice cake $19. The one standout dish was the wings. That was great. Not the spicy wings, that was meh. I love it when the sizzling iron plate dishes come out of the kitchen. You can smell that intoxicating sweet Korean BBQ meat aroma. That was awesome. Service was friendly.
Delicious Korean food. Their plates are big and enough for sharing. It's totally recommended. Is.my go to when I want to eat tasty Korean meat.

Food is good here but they need to do something about the ventilation. It's always stuff and hot inside no matter what the temperature is outside. 1 star off for the uncomfortable temperature inside especially if you're eating army stew and sweating like a mother
