I placed an online order for a Curry Shrimp Omelette and Tofu Bibimbap. Delicious. I picked up the order and the atmosphere was great and the staff was friendly and attentive. Will definitely be coming back and sitting in.

Amazing. I ate some super bibimbap. This may have been the bibimbap of all time. I came with my neighbor William who is a little odd but I fw him. Everyone should come here and enjoy some delicious food

Came here with my little friend with glasses, we had a very fun time. I enjoyed the food, she enjoyed the food. She gives five big booms. She’s a little autistic and camera shy but it’s okay.

Friendly service. Fried chicken was cooked perfectly and was crunchy and juicy and flavorful. Tried the bulgogi and it was tender and flavorful as well. They do have Soju in multiple flavors. Parking lot is on the side. Area can be dangerous but it’s worth it for the food

Three bellies got a taste of Kong tonight, and that's a win in my book. I never thought I'd be greatful to have my DoorDash order stolen- but if someone had never stolen my initial order, I might have never gotten to experience the mightiness of Kong's corn cheese dish-
I'm originally from Houston but travelled here alongside my girlfriend for work. Our food scene is wildly competitive back home, as is our hospitality, and we've been scouring Baltimore for both ever since we first flew into BWI.
The sweethearts working tonight hooked us up with this lovely kernel appetizer after hearing our troubling tale (in record time too, I've never received a takeout order so quickly). For anyone curious, rest assured, our Kimchi dumpling soup arrived safe and sound. It was clean and refreshing, clearing my heart (and nose) of anything troubling which can sometimes linger after a long day at work. I would've never thought to try their Corn Cheese, but thanks to Kong I got the chance. If you're having second thoughts about the cheese, get it anyways.
I've never experienced anything like this before, both courtesy-wise and cuisine-wise. Thanks to Kong, I didn't have to cook tonight. Thanks to Kong, I got to try something new.
Thank you Kong.
Love, Sara B and Jaden T

Not too many vegetarian options, but what they have is absolutely delicious! The pancake is really good, and so is the bibimbap and curry omelet. The only negative in my experience is that I've gone multiple times now and wanted a popsicle for dessert, but they've been out every time! The decor is all vintage Korean movie posters and the dim lights are conducive to a late night hang with friends.

I am a big fan of korean food, and have tried multiple places in this city, but by far, my favorite is this place. One thing to get here without fail is their omurice curry, its such a good curry with rice and egg, perfectly balanced taste, and i had with shrimp tempura, which was crispnice loved it. The fried chicken was delicious, too. Would recommend this place highly and make sure to get some lychee soju. The vibes of this place are fun night pubs in Seoul kind.

I hadn't been to Kong Pocha in years until last night and shame on me. This place is incredible.
The wait staff was inviting and knowledgeable about the various options, the interior was lively with catchy K-pop filling the air.
But the food was the best part. The spicy and sweet fried chicken entree was addictive (though next time, I'll ask them to fry the accompanying fries extra crispy--too soggy for my taste). The edamame was simply seasoned with salt but we'll done. And the shrimp fried rice was workmanlike.
It's dangerous for my waistline that this place is so delicious, nearby, and open late. I will absolutely return.

Kong Pocha is the first authentic Korean restaurant I have been to in the Baltimore area, and I have been to quite a lot of Korean restaurants in the 11 plus years I have been here. For Mother's Day and my Mom's birthday, part of my family went here for dinner. We ordered family style. We got the spicy pork, beef brisket, seafood pancake, a big pot of the mandu soup, and 1 bulgogi cup bop for 6 people and it was more than enough to share and bring some leftovers home. The taste was delicious and authentic Korean. I say this as a Korean. The service was friendly, but professional. Everyone working the front was attentive and made sure we had everything we needed. They really were welcoming here. Because of the food and the service of Justin and his crew, I will definitely be back with friends too. Thank you Justin and Kong Pocha. See you soon ☺️

Food is middling, but the Karaoke bar had a great selection, if a bit pricey
