K-pocha

Good deals in the meals and beers combo. Fried chickens are good, came out hot and crispy. Good place for hanging out with friends over alcohol and fried or greasy foods.

My g. I’m back at it, I will never stop. Ya boy Schoolbus Russ at it again.
So I’m chillin with my g fam at my cribbo. Cool right? Not cool when the boys need some wings. We speed to k pocha cause we want some wing goodness
We get there, and get to chompin. As your boy is eating some gangsta k-​trap Korean rap is playing. Shoutout Keith Ape. We enjoyed their music choice and vibes all night as we ate a cool corn plate that was mixed with cheese. Whatever that was, was amazing and should be televised so the world can know.
My g. Them wings? To die for. Your boy devoured them and my youts hit pon road.
Thank you k pocha. U did my hunger justice. Pimp don’t simp.

K-​pocha is surprisingly pretty good. The chicken is super moist here which I love. The seasoning is decent. The place itself is super dark and a little run down. Staff was friendly on the good side. We got the half and half — orginal chicken with green onion and spicy. And the Spicy chicken with cheese on the hot plate. The hot place chicken is super spicy thou. Seems to be more spicy than home of hot taste.

K-​Pocha is my first real experience of Korean Fried Chicken and it is solely responsible for the start of my chicken addiction.
K-Pocha’s concept is just great. It’s got amazing fried chicken, beer, Korean side dishes, and amazing corn. I still remember how good that first bite of corn was. Imagine how I felt when I found out that they give out FREE REFILLS OF THAT AMAZING CORN.
The prices of their chicken is very reasonable, it’s in line with other Korean fried chicken places such as The Fry and Home of Hot taste. I prefer the garlic and soy sauce at K-​pocha more than the Fry or Hot taste. I’m not a fan of strong spice myself, and I found K-pocha’s spicy level to be at the perfect level. I recommend getting half soy and garlic and half spicy chicken.
One thing I would stay away from is the boneless chicken. I tried this and it really wasn’t good. It’s a lot like sweet and sour chicken. Stay away.
A huge tip: Ask for the white radish. The white radish really compliments the flavour of the chicken and unfortunately they won’t give it to you at the start unless you’re Korean… (something that deserves a different post altogether). Nevertheless, I would definitely come back.

Korean fried chicken yum!
We ordered the combo, which comes with one dish and either 4 beers, one bottle of soju, or one bottle of makgueli (Korean rice wine). We got the green onion chicken (half spicy and half soy garlic) with the beers. This was $ 37.
The chicken took quite awhile to come, but it was worth it. It was delicious and crispy. The chicken did have bones, and was random parts of the chicken (some wings, some drumsticks, some more like breast meat). Not boneless, but no biggie.
We then continued to try the spicy fish cake and rice cakes (pretty spicy) — $ 12. And two types of soju cocktails (peach and yogurt) which comes in a pitcher with small shot type glasses — $ 20 each. I couldn’t drink the alcohol, but my friends loved it. Said tasted like juice and was easy to drink.
For appetisers they give you corn in butter, and a salad type dish. Not your typical Korean side dishes, but both good.

Tip: Personally, I wouldn’t order the «boneless» as there were some grisly pieces. Instead, order actual wings/​drumsticks!
More like 3.5*, but I wasn’t completely impressed, so I rounded down. This was probably due to the fact that I ordered the «boneless» chicken when I wished that I would’ve ordered just the standard wings.
Serving of wings are perfect for 2 smaller chicks — keep in mind that it also comes with slaw and buttered corn! ;) Guys, I have no clue how 1 person finishes an entire order. It’s A LOT. Serving of chicken/​wings were around $ 24.
I wanted a beer, but there were NO combos offered for the wings + beer/​soju. :(Wouldn’t it make sense that if you ran a KFC place that you’d offer this? Combos were only offered with the other mains… that I didn’t want to try as a first-​timer.
Spicy had a nice kick to it, but was also on the sweet side. Think: Gochujang. The Soy Garlic was neither very Soy nor Garlic. This ‘dry’ chicken was nice, but desperately needed some kinda dip/​more flavour. We were dipping it in the ketchup provided for fries.
Fries were a la Costco. So nicely battered and slightly greasy. This place ain’t for dieters/“clean eaters”. Booths were nice to sit at.
Lively atmosphere, even for a Wednesday evening. Felt somewhat like Yonge/​Finch area as opposed to a seedier part of Mississauga. Waiter boy was friendly.
Would go back, but would order something else!

I’ve been going to this place for a couple of years now and especially if I’m out with friends late at night and we want to satisfy our hunger we go this place for some good ol’ fried chicken wings and KFC (Korean fried chicken).
The place is dark, with a little lighting and they have tiny booths. We usually order the Fried chicken wings, half soy and half spicy fried chicken, rice with egg on top for 5 bucks! (pretty big portion). I sometimes get their ramen and it’s pretty good! Their wings are super crispy! One serving of chicken wings is good for 2 people but when your really hungry its good for 1. Their fries are not bad as well. The soy garlic is really good and the spicy is not that spicy. They both have really good flavours. But, going back to before getting our orders they serve you coleslaw and sweet corn which is the bestttttttt!!! i’m not even kidding! The coleslaw is amazing too, crispy, crunchy and fresh.
This place is losing a one star for me due to the fact that if you were sitting in one of the booths, its hard to ask your waiter that your ready to order. Theres no bell in the booths, and need to keep sticking your head out to get their attention for more water, napkins and the bill.
This place is known to have young adults hanging out late and great place for drinking and snacking.

I was looking forward to coming here since my cousins are always raving about it, and it did not disappoint.
There was a group of six of us, and we shared a combination of dishes, most of which I unfortunately don’t remember the name. What i do remember, however, is the seafood egg drop soup and soy and garlic wings. The wings is a fairly large order, so it was enough for six with the other food, but I guess if you’re really hungry, you can probably finish one order on your own. There was also really good sweet corn and a basic salad with thousand island dressing to get some of ‘em greens in. There was also a small octopus dish with onions. Oh, I almost forgot — the bulgogi! That was sooo good and there was a small battle of chopsticks to finish the last few bits.
The restaurant was easy enough to find (it’s near a bunch of car places), and parking was not a problem on the night I went. There’s other stores and restaurants in the neighbourhood that share the lot, but there were a lot of spaces. Just make sure the place you park isn’t reserved for the grocery store or anything.
Overall a good place and I’d be interested in going here again.

The West seems to somehow always get the best. This is unquestionably one of the better KFC’s I have tasted in this city… well out of the city in this case.
This place is no showstopper. It’s a bit grimy in fact and maybe even a little dirty but that’s typically all good signs if you are looking for great comfort food. I have been on a fried chicken binge as of late; all in the name of good health of course. I have long heard of this mythical place from friends out west; k-​pocha~ rolls off their tongues like butter and silk, catchy like Netflix n chill.
This stuff is good. Lightly battered, crispy, tender, juicy, flavourful is how I would describe it and this is how good fried chicken should be. All the different flavours are distinct in their own way but the chicken remains the same regardless. They don’t over-​sauce their chicken like a lot of places or over-​stack them to the point where they become damp from their own condensation.
The next time I am craving KFC I am going to skip that Yonge exit and head straight out west.

Great tasting fried Korean chicken!!! Small little Korean style pub. Nothing fancy but i would recommend to anyone looking for some good fried chicken. Service was ok but I really am not picky or hard to please. I’m not one of those Unilocalers who thinks he’s a Judge on top chef.

Undoubtedly the best Korean Fried Chicken (KFC) I’ve had to date, and my personal favourite fried chicken of all time.
I like to split the fried chicken platter, that includes half spicy and half garlic & soy, between two people. It comes with approximately 2lb of chicken. The amount of chicken you get is deceptive due to the minimal bones that come with your order (try it, compare how many bones you’re left with at K-​pocha compared to the number of bones you’d have ordering 2lb at a traditional wing place).
The spicy wings are not spicy at all, but instead served in a tasty, mild sauce. The garlic & soy wings are dry and are glazed with flavour. Both flavours were crisp and delicious.
Aside from my staple order, I’ve also tried the green onion fried chicken (also delicious, but I prefer the half/​half), the soba noodles (decent), and the spicy mayo tiger shrimps (amazing).
K-​pocha is a Korean bar/​lounge. Though it is a small place, they have two seating areas, including a handful of booths. K-​pop and Soju advertisements and posters line the walls.
Service-​wise, it isn’t anything special, but they are prompt and get the job done.
Definitely check this place out, I can confidently say it’s one of Mississauga’s hidden gems.

K-​Pocha is a late night Korean restaurant & pub in Mississauga that specializes in Korean style chicken. I have been a fan of Korean fried chicken since I first had it at The Fry. The menu was of course heavily concentrated on fried chicken, but they do offer some standard Korean dishes like bulgogi, rice cakes, pork belly, etc … In regards to the prices, I would say that their food was fairly priced, as it was definitely cheaper than both The Fry, and Home of Hot
In order to ensure the crispiness of the skin, Korean fried chicken are deep fried twice. This way of deep frying also creates a lot less grease all over the chicken. Looking through the menu, we decided to order the half spicy, half fried option ($ 21), and an order of crispy french fries ($ 5). The chicken took a bit of time to come out, but that was understandable as they are made fresh to order. In terms of presentation, both chicken were plated together with a few pieces of crispy fries. Nothing too special, but it was piping hot (just the way I like it). The fried chicken at K-​Pocha had a nice crispy skin, and the meat itself was juicy. It wasn’t heavy, or greasy at all, which was a great alternative to the greasiness of western chicken. I preferred the fried chicken over their spicy chicken, which I didn’t think was spicy enough. I liked the taste of the sweet glaze, but I wished that it had provided a little more kick.
The overall atmosphere was good for large groups, and they also had a few private booths on the side for a more intimate dining experience. The one thing that surprised me most was that they don’t refill the kimchi at all. I have never been to a Korean establishment where they don’t refill the bachan, or this case … just a tiny bowl of kimchi. I just thought that was super stingy of K-​Pocha, cause it was something that was unheard of. However, this doesn’t deter me from returning to K-​Pocha, as I did liked their fried chicken, and they are one of the few options in Mississauga that offers it.

It’s funny how I pass by this restaurant quite often but I never tried it until now. I have to say, I’m a fan of this place! Also, if you’re a spicy eater like me then you’ll love this place!
Let’s start with the inside; the restaurant’s interior is like those places you see in k-​dramas where the protagonist goes to eat and drink soju with his/​her buddies or significant other. I felt like I was experiencing what it would be like to go to a local bar/​restaurant in Korea.
As mentioned earlier, a lot of their signature dishes are pretty spicy so I don’t recommend this place if you can’t handle the heat. So far, I’ve been here twice and the dishes I’ve tried so far are the: Spicy Rice Cake with Chicken or Pork Belly, a side pot of Army Soup (recommended for groups of 2 – 4), and a side order of Fried Chicken Wings. The spicy rice cake dishes have at least a spiciness level of 3 peppers.
Overall, the food here is good especially the spicy stuff! This place is good for groups of 2 – 4 considering it’s kind of a small. My only complaint is the food takes a while to cook but worth the wait!

Their poutine is pretty good, but it was on the sweet side, so if you don’t like your fries to be sweet, maybe not to get it. The deep fried chicken were alright. Also, I think price was a bit high, but it is unique in mississauga. There are many similar places in north york but not in mississauga.

LOVE LOVE LOVE! Their signature Korean style fried chicken is to die for and is a must have if you visit. However, the other dishes are simply divine and flavorful! Their food has such a homemade taste to it that it keeps sending me back there over and over again.
Seriously no complaints. It’s a small little piece of heaven.

K-​pocha is always the prefect place for you to relax, especially with some crispy chicken wings/​grilled sweet corn (complementary) and grab some beer. It was tiny but well arranged.

I came here on a Saturday for dinner with my wife and this is the 4^th time having Korean fried chicken in as many weeks. My first introduction to it was the reason I’m sort of on this mission to find «KFC» in the Toronto area. I recently had Korean fried chicken at a place in NYC recommended by a fellow Unilocaler and since then I’m want to find a place locally that makes it like that or better.
I had it at the Fry in North York the week after and my wife has made it at home and it was good too, really good. So this is the 4^th time eating it and the 3^rd place since I first tried it.
This restaurant is in the corner of a strip mall along Dundas not too far east of Hurontario in a mall that is predominantly Asian with many other Korean businesses.
The place has sort of a strange set up in that there are booths on the sides which seem a bit more private and a small open area right down the middle. I really wasn’t too concerned of where we were going to sit so we sat in the middle.
I had ordered a Kirin but they were out so I just had a Sapporo to start. I sort of didn’t want fries so we actually ordered a rice dish to go along with the chicken. My wife asked if the chicken was very crispy and our server had suggested we instead of getting chicken with all sauce we go half fried and half garlic soy which made sense so we did that. For the other dish I ordered the pork belly with kimchi on rice.
Our server brought out a small combo of sweet corn which seems to be pretty much a universal staple at many of these Korean places I’ve seen so far as well as a small bowl of cole slaw as complimentary starters.
The porkbelly and kimchi rice dish came out first which was good because I was hungry and I didn’t care that it preceded the chicken. The kimchi was nice and spicy just how I like it. It may have been a bit hot for my wife that doesn’t like hot spice too much but she enjoyed it so much she was enduring it and really enjoying it.
The fried chicken came out and it had a small side of fries and ketchup with it. The chicken was steaming out, fresh out of the fryer so that we did have to wait a minute or two to let it cool off to not burn ourselves.
This chicken was good the skin was very crispy and the inside was very juicy. The pieces were (as on the menu) wings, thighs and drums as I’m assuming they saved all the breast meat for the karaage, not sure. Still the pieces were not dry at all, very moist but very crispy on the outside. My wife said she thought was a little greasy, I didn’t think so. There was a paper on the bottom of the tray and while it had some oil it wasn’t collecting at the bottom and the paper wasn’t heavy and saturated. Perhaps I will try karaage one day but I really like the bone in chicken instead. I would prefer wings over other dark meat pieces but I liked the dark meat pieces too.
I like the food here and while it didn’t live up to my experience in NYC (Turntable) it was IMO better than The Fry in North York.

This was my first experience at a Korean pub and I was pretty impressed with the fried chicken here! Waaay better than KFC and Popeye’s that’s for sure. The spicy chicken was too spicy when taken with soju I think but oh well! The portions are pretty big and one order can easily fill two people. You get a few complimentary side dishes at the beginning as well

I have visited K-​pocha a couple times this summer and every time we go, we go for their fried chicken.
This ma and pa restaurant is small and dimly lit. There are a few booths on the side for small groups. The service can be slow, but the server is always friendly and polite.
K-​pocha has become the go-​to place for my boyfriend and his friends when they’re feeing fried chicken + beer because they offer an amazing deal: $ 25 for fried chicken + 5 beers (or a bottle of soju). You can choose various flavours for a few extra dollars (Korean spicy sauce, green onion, etc.) and you can also choose other dishes. There is a whole list of other dishes you can order with the drinks, but the only ones I can remember are karaage (Japanese fried chicken, which I believe is more gingery), chicken wings, and seafood pancake.
The fried chicken is always made to order, so expect a bit of a wait. While you wait, they give you a bit of coleslaw and some buttery corn on a hot plate that tastes amazing. My personal favourite is their green onion fried chicken. The green onions really complement each piece of crunchy, juicy, deep-​fried goodness. The guys tend the enjoy their Korean spicy sauce more because it gives a bit of a kick.
K-​pocha is a bit of a drive from my place, but we have friends who live in Pickering that would actually come to Mississauga late at night just for Korean fried chicken + beer. We don’t know anywhere else that offers fried chicken + 5 beers/​a bottle of soju for $ 25!

Ordered sweet and spicy chicken for takeout with friends. It was around $ 14 for a decent portion for an app for two people.
It was average. Tasted like general tao chicken a bit. May visit again and try something else, but not sure. Cashier was nice though.
Nothing wrong with the place, but nothing special either. More 2.5÷5.
