Bay Pocha

Had a great dinner at Bay Pocha in San Francisco. We ordered the bossam and chicken gizzards, and both were excellent. The bossam was tender, juicy, and perfectly seasoned, especially when paired with the fresh greens and sauces. The chicken gizzards were flavorful, well-cooked, and had a great texture—definitely one of the highlights of the meal. The service was friendly and attentive, and the staff made us feel very welcome throughout the night. Portions were generous, side dishes were fresh, and everything came out in a timely manner. Overall, great food, great service, and a fun Korean pocha-style atmosphere. I’d absolutely come back and would highly recommend this spot

If you are a Korean who knows what good Korean foods taste like, this is not the place for you . Based on the decent reviews , I decided to check this place out with my friend. Since it was just two of us, the army stew seemed like too large portion for us to even share . So we ordered pollock eggs fish soup , spicy pork belly and one appetizer. While the soup had generous amount of seafoods in the soup, the pollock eegs tasted pretty bad , like old sock . And I know how the fresh pollock eggs test like. The stir spicy pork belly didn’t have much taste except it was salty . Usually well seasoned spicy pork belly has the combination of smoky sweet and salty with umami flavor but this one lack most of the flavors. The banchan didn’t taste fresh either. The fish cake and mushroom dishes were dry and hard as rubber , seemed like they were pre made long long time go. While I am tempted to go back to try army stew, after seeing recent review with rat pic , I am questioning the sanitation of this place.

First timer here and everything was deliciousl I really liked their mushroom banchan. They have a long table in the middle of the restaurant, so they can accommodate large parties. They played a lot of Kpop Demon Hunter. Army Stew ($58.95) - Huge portion. Could've done with less rice cake/rice balls. Seafood Pancake ($22.95) - Crispy and flavorful. One of my favorite dishes. Chicken Wings ($22.95) - Juicy and crispy. Yum. Braised Pork Belly ($55.95) - Apparently a special menu item, but they always serve it. Came with lettuce and like 5 garlic slices. Galbi ($43.95) - No complaints here. Kimchi Fried Rice ($19.95) - Was nice to have rice to eat with the meat, but I've had better.

Yum Loved the Bossam and chicken gizzard. Soju with soda and lemon is a must— it’s fantastic! Highly recommend this place for authentic Korean food.

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.
