We recently spent a fun girls’ night out at Nangman Pocha in North York, and it instantly transported us to the vibrant streets of Korea. I love how the cozy, laid-back vibe truly captures the spirit of a Korean pocha. We arrived around dinnertime and were seated right away—no wait, which was a nice surprise. Their menu is packed with a variety of shareable dishes, making it perfect for group dining.
We ordered their kimchi udon, spicy nails and noodles, rose spicy tteokbokki, seafood pancake, corn cheese and deep fried squid tentacles.
Even though we definitely over-ordered, everything we tried was delicious. The kimchi udon was a standout — warm, comforting, and perfectly spiced. I also tried snails for the first time, which was an interesting experience! They had a slightly chewy texture, so I’m still on the fence about them. The seafood pancake and the rose spicy rice cakes were both amazing — classic must-orders whenever you’re enjoying Korean cuisine.

Came from out of town to enjoy some yummy Korean food. We over ordered on purpose to try as many things as possible since we dont have too many K restos where I'm from. For a group of four, we ordered the rose ttyeboki, grilled pork belly, cheese corn, seafood pancake, spicy pork, pork katsu, ramen and probably something else I cant remember. Everything was good but I wasn't a fan of the seafood pancake. Too many ingredients and not crispy enough but tasty enough to still eat. Cute decor, cozy vibes. The tables are small and round, so don't plan to order too much because you will need more room - the portions were huge, great for sharing with a larger group.

A Korean Pocha can never go wrong with late night meals. I like the decor here where the restaurant has those circle tables that you can find in barbecue restaurants in Korea. There are lots of Korean posters too. It is a lovely sociable setting to have a snack or drink late into the night.
Their food was tasty. We ordered an army soup, a steamed pork belly, 2 pounds of chicken wings, a stir fried chicken gizzard, and a stir fried spicy squid with cold noodle. Their portions were huge which is perfect for sharing. The 2 red beans and tropical fruits shaved ice were on the house! The meal was so filling for us. A great start into fall.

The beef tartar is phenomenal. Spot on seasoning and fresh meat. The pork belly is also very nice and tender. As it is very authentic, the stir fired squid can be spicy. But that would be just perfect to pair with some Korean pop or shochu!

We went on a Tuesday so it was pretty empty, but I can picture it being a blast on weekends! The food was amazing especially the beef tartar! Pretty pricy though we ordered 3 dishes plus a rice and it came up to $100 after tax and tips for 2 people. Also very strange for the soup to not come with rice, I thought most Korean restaurants always serve rice with their soups. Will definitely come back but maybe with more people...
I ordered soybean noodles and the portion was good and plentiful. But I think just kimchi would be better instead of dried radish and kimchi on the side.
