Victoria Pocha in Victoria

The taste is the best in Canada (my opinion)

Incredible food, chill vibe, and great service. I had the bibimbap, and my sister had the beef ramen. Both were fantastic.

Best Korean brisket Ive had was in the chadol sukju bokkeum. They had a good selection of beers. The staff was very attentive and nice. The atmosphere was fun and energetic. The place was very clean. Great place for authentic Korean food.

I m so glad that I walked pass this place and decided to try The food is really outstanding and service is excellent Truly recommend this place I will be back Food : 5/5 |

Was downtown and ordered takeout from here on a whim. Omg such a great treat. The food was incredible! Well be back!

I m still dreaming about the Melona Jan drink I had! It s probably one of the best cocktails I ve ever had in my life. Crispy soju with sprite, an inverted honeydew Melona bar and topped with coconut flakes? GIRL, my mouth is still watering. My friends and I came here for a more low-stimulus environment after being at a loud bar most of the night. The atmosphere was perfect. It felt warm and cozy and the staff were incredibly friendly. There were so many authentic Korean dishes to choose from and I was just so impressed by my entire experience. This will definitely be a more regular spot for me!

The food taste is good. Unfortunately, the quality is very inconsistent. Sometimes the volume of food you get is noticeably different each time, and the amount of seasoning or oil seems to vary a lot as well. For jeyuk bokkeum sometimes it is very oily and heavily seasoned and other times it is pretty bland. However, the gimmari is the worst inconsistency. The first time I ordered it I was disappointed because for $7.50 you only get these tiny pieces that are not even as long as my thumb. But the next time I bought it I was actually very happy because it was the same number of pieces but each piece was twice as big as before. The next few times I ordered it was still large and worth it (although sometimes they forget the sauce). But the last time i ordered them they returned back to half size pieces. The price did not change nor did the description, so not sure why they keep changing the size.

Best service from Miku! So friendly and knowledgeable! Very good Korean streets foods! Will definitely be back! Thanks again Miku!

Amazing Korean food in Victoria

Foods are good, but lack of staff. It took quite some time in waiting for the dishes even to get the bills.

Great korean food. Good service even if it was busy and she was all by herself serving whole tables. Good luck in Victoria. Looks like this restaurant will be very successful.

Food

Ive come here multiple times now and cannot recommend it enough. I have yet to find a menu item I am not impressed with.

I order the yangnyeom chicken at least once a week. Good portions, tastes amazing. Servers are all super friendly. Ive only done take out, but the atmosphere in the restaurant feels great.

Its always clean, friendly and nice. Its a shame that I couldnt eat the stir-fried bean sprouts today because I ran out of them.

I bought jokbal and makgeolli here today. I am a regular here from today. It was so delicious that I recommended it to my friends.

My stingy daughter rated the tteokboki 9/10 so you know its good.

Most delicious and flavourful Korean food I ve ever had!! Huge portions and awesome service. Siho was my server and she was very helpful and sweet :)

How did I just find this place. Everything is great. Food is delicious Korean fusion. Reasonably priced drinks. Recently renovated. Hidden gem.

Kid-friendliness: No high chairs or booster seats but welcoming of children. Food

Four people for 130 to fullest. The portions were very large and the taste was excellent. Highly recommend the pork and skewers from the lunch special.

While traveling, I ordered stir-fried pork and seasoned chicken at my accommodation. The pork had the right fiery flavor and the chicken was very delicious! May you prosper :)

The korean food here is excellent with generous portion sizes. Everything tasted great. The katsu sauce was sweeter than I like but thats a personal taste. The bulgogi was excellent and very saucy. Casual bar-style atmosphere. Felt a lot like bars I had been to in Korea. Will come back again.

Update: Went in today, found they changed my favourite chicken skewer to fried chicken, sad Food is tasty, but it s pricy. 2 skewers 8 bucks

10/10 will come back again! Had a lovely time, delicious food, and amazing service. Thank you!

Absolutely incredible. Food was out of this world, beautiful interior, and our server, Jiyu, was amazing. Polite, informative, and personable, just a joy to have serve us. I recommend this place to anyone who loves Korean food and drink, or just anyone who loves food and drink in general. Also, try the Sapporo Shandy. Delightful.

Really bad food, service was meh. Kimchi tastes like canned kimchi

Food was bad, tofu and kimchi need to improve

The food was not good.

Best kimchi jigae and banchan, tastes so authentic and all the food tastes so fresh! Very affordable and cheap drinks too, our server was very friendly, accommodating, and funny. I think I found my new favorite restaurant!

Friendly service, delicious makgeolli and food

Happy hour until 6!!!! Great daily specials, big ol mug of Sapporo for $6 during happy hour. Honestly my favourite Korean fried chicken spot in town, not too rich. The fries are surprisingly my favourite fries of any place in town. This is the kind of place that should be packed and full of people.

Loved this place! Good vibe, friendly staff, and super delicious food and drinks - I highly recommend the fried rice and tteokbokki skewers. Ill definitely be back.

Great food. Good prices. Nice staff. Chill. Food : 5/5 |

Their service, atmosphere, location, and food are all good.

Best Korean food I ve tried in Victoria. Lunch special was a good deal with a nice amount of food included. Will be back!

There is no meat in the kimchi stew, and it tastes like undercooked kimchi soup for $18

I came on happy hour and ordered a bulgogi. It was so amazing

delicious food!

The pigs feet were delicious, the pork soup was delicious, everything was delicious, but I really missed the stir-fried squid, and I really enjoyed it!!

Good chicken and kimchi soup! Enjoy so much really recommend!

If you are looking for a Korean restaurant in Victoria, go to Big Cha right away... If its good, it tastes good. If you really want to eat Korean food, go there and eat it. It will make you cry

I feel cheated. The taste wasnt bad, but I didnt feel any conscience at all. I ordered pork soup and packed some pork feet to go home and have as a side dish, but for some reason, the pork soup had no meat at all and only thin soup. Haha. And when I got home and checked, there was no pork feet, and half of the cabbage along with all the sauces was mangled and out of shape. Theres meat that I cant recognize... I cant believe I would pay $19 for something like this. I just laugh out loud. The dark lighting makes it difficult to judge the amount of meat. I guess you did it? My son ate some, but Id like to at least post a picture of the leftover bowl of pigs feet. Look at the cut of the pigs feet. Haha, Im speechless...

Just ordered there for pickup. Presentation,flavor, and portions were exceptional. Overall beyond expectations. Definitely returning again soon!

Very chill Korean atmosphere as you soon as you enter. Youre greeted by a cute waitress. Sit down grab a bottle of Soju with chicken and you melted into an amazing night. 10/10 Korean chicken hooters

Server was so friendly and sweet! I ordered the bulgogi dish during happy hour (select dishes are cheaper between 4-6pm). It came with some small side dishes and a portion of rice. The homemade kimchi was great, and the free ramen snack was yummy too . If you have a hankering for korean street food i would definitely try this place out! Vegetarian options: Spotted at least one dish that was labeled as vegan! There were at least a couple of other vegetarian dishes too Wheelchair accessibility: Entryway at street level

Amazing laid back place to try up your game on Korean cuisine! Great happy hour deals for KFC fans.

Great food! Tons of choice and full of flavour. We had the lemon creamy shrimp salad, squid (ojingeo bokkeum) - quite spicy, nagasaki jjambbong, accompanied by clear soup and/or takoyaki and fried seaweed roll plus the usual little dishes that often come with Korean food. Far too much to eat for lunch as servings were large so we took a lot home. Melina and Brian made sure we were well taken care of! So happy to find a wonderful new restaurant in Victoria!

The food and service is amazing !

Beef Skewers Bam Makgeolli

This is a trendy Korean fusion restaurant that replaced my favorite King Sejong when the former owners retired after 19 years. The interior reminds you of a club. They have edamame as an appetizer so its not your traditional Korean appies. They have a spicy miso soup with tofu which is quite good. I had beef bulgogi with rice. It was tasty but not spicy enough, probably geared to mainstream Victoria customers, so I asked for gochujang and it was perfect. Bonus: they play Kpop and the owner looks like a Kpop star.

Two of us ordered a variety of dishes to try and were very pleased with all of them! Especially liked the bulgogi and jeyuk-bokkeum, but the chicken thigh skewers were quite tasty too. The fried chicken (original) was nice but the batter was a bit thick for my preference and there are other korean fried chicken spots in town that I like better. The gimmari fried seaweed roll was on the house (thank you!) and quite tasty This was a lot of food for 2 people so we took the leftovers home for tomorrow. Overall, great service, nice ambience, reasonable prices, and tasty food! We went to King Sejong quite a bit before they closed and are pleased with Victoria Pocha taking over the torch. We will definitely be coming back soon.

So happy to have another great&delicious Korean restaurant in town!!

Love their So-tteok-so-tteok and they even made us Tteok-tteok. Whos there?

Great food, Good atmosphere and fantastic service!!

This place is perfect to drink soju LOL Atmosphere, staff, and food was so nice and thumbs up if i have a time to go Vic i will visit again:)

The food tastes incredible, it came out quickly, and the atmosphere is great! There are so many shareable options which is perfect if you want to bring in a large group of friends/family. There is a lot of variety in the drink menu as well. The servers are incredibly friendly and provide great customer service. I would highly recommend coming here if you love Korean food or are curious about it. (The menu is not limited to Korean food, I would consider this a fusion style pub which makes it so unique!).

There is a food spot in Victoria. The atmosphere is nice and the food is really good. Im going to eat delicious.

Great food and wonderful hospitality!

Ordered fried Gyoza and a Salad. Both were delicious and prepared with great fresh ingredients and attention to detail. Lots of fun drink choices. Super friendly staff.

Really good food and ambiance.. Excellent customer service.. Recommended dishes

Great food and classic Korean alcohol. I recommend the Makali and Jeyuk Boekum (marinated pork dish)

Everything is so good. The service is great. The food is very tasty. They have an extensive menu.

Wonderful place! Great skewers and rice wine.

Excellent spot ! Theres lots of traditional pocha options, a fun atmosphere, the food and drinks are excellent and service as well. Would recommend ! Great for a beer and soju after work to relax with friends and co-workers or for a later night.

Such an incredible restaurant! Amazing staff, great food and yummy drinks. 10/10 recommend!!!

Food is quite special! And drink menu has quite various selection

great taste! enjoy your night! I recommend chicken & beer combo. :)

quick service and good quality food! I love going here <3

Very cute spot. Reminds me of being young. Great spot for younger adults or old guys like me who want to remember old days. Food has a good depth of flavour.

Amazing Korean food in Victoria! We loved the tteok skewers, fried chicken and sundubu jiggae. Highly recommend to anyone who loves korean food!

Food tastes good, but this is the first Korean restaurant does not serve side dishes at all. The food portion is relatively small as well

Loved my first time here! The food was so authentic and yummy. The chicken dish goes so well with the rice wine! Such a cute atmosphere too! We were really impressed with the selection of Korean rice wine which you can t normally find in Victoria. Would come here again!

Boa party was unreal, perfect portion to share between 2 people, beef was 10 out of 10, will be back!

Great food and drinks

Delicious, authentic food and drinks. Clean and fantastic atmosphere. Very reminiscent of street food back in Korea. Highly recommend!

This spot is unbelievably good on so many different levels. The variety of food they have is incredible, and genuinely every dish that I tried was delicious. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable. The atmosphere was perfect - great lighting and music. Definitely bringing all my friends and family back here!

I would highly recommend this Korean pub to anyone looking for a great night out with friends or a tasty meal in a cozy atmosphere. Give it a try - you wont be disappointed!

Visited here for a team social event last night and everything was amazing. Terrific service, great environment, and fantastic food, with a big selection to choose from. Will definitely be going back!

Good spicy korean food. Could improve portion size.

Damn good

Beautiful place with delicious food for vegetarians

Really delicious Korean food with great vegetarian options

Great food, great atmosphere, and great staff!!

Good

Delicious

Absolutely great service, good Korean food and an awesome atmosphere. Cant wait to go again with family and friends.

All the good food and cold beer a person could hope for! Great service and menu!

Great vibe and energy flows through this place and it shows it in the quality of their food. For great comfort meal order the o-damn fish soup and chase it with a serving of the creamy seafood tteobokki. It won t disappoint.

Both unique and traditional dishes. The restaurant is a little hidden but its a gem!

Fantastic food and staff, will be dining there again.

amazing experience, super ambient, very upbeat. loved it! recommend for groups 3-6 :))

Awesome yeah!

Good food, good staff, good atmosphere

Great service and tasty food!! Lots of options to choose from

The food was delicious and the atmosphere was really cool! Service was lovely also

Sooooo great!!!love this place <3

great selection of korean food you dont see everywhere. good prices of beer and maekgolli. a great place to share some food and drinks with friends. Vegetarian options: a few things

Really cute new place! Fast service and good food. Bao was tasty

Victoria Pocha is a great new Korean restaurant you have to go to! trendy, modern interior with great service and even better food. Especially the ribs but everything was good. Its also a great place to try makgeolli if you never have and want to try a bit of Korean drinking culture.

So delicious!! Split the Tteokbokki between two and it was a perfect amount of food. The atmosphere was very cool. Will definitely return to try the rest of the menu!

Came here with a friend, the service and food were absolutely amazing!! I highly recommend this place and the food and alcoholic beverages were well presented and absolutely delicious!

If you miss Korea, come here

Nice place

The food was amazing!

Amazing food and amazing customer service!!

Loved the selection of foods! Best customer service in Victoria

The owner is friendly and the food is delicious!

It was so delicious that I forgot to write a review and ate it! The food is delicious and the atmosphere is great ^^ I recommend it -!!! Must try~

Super great food, great atmosphere, only came in for a bite but for sure coming back this week!

Was very happy good people good foods

Exceptional food, exceptional atmosphere, and exceptional service! If you want to experience little korea in victoria, highly recommended!!

Finally, a korean pub experience in victoria. place to visit for exceptional korean food and drinks!

Different options than other Korean restaurants in town. Great food and service.

Bao party was a great choice for my children. The Tteokbokki (both quantity and quality) with gimari was another great bonus for the family event. Thanks again for the great service today.

Fantastic food, service and atmosphere. Would definitely recommend!!

Great service, an intimate but fun vibe, unique Adian pub food with a heavy Korean influence, a very unique selection of makgeolli and simply a one of a kind experience for Victoria.

I like the sundubu jigae, asked for mild spice and it was perfect

Been here twice. Very poor service. Awful attitude. Also, told us if we give great google review, we get one free ice cream. I guess that s why there are a lot of good reviews here.

So you order 7 ribs with no soup no everything for over $50 and you don t even deserve a small bowl of rice? Please update your menu or improve the quality. Update: oh come on. I ve been a loyal Costco/Walmart customer for decades and I can tell the where the ribs were from. Of course the food needs to be prepared freshly each day. Isn t that a standard of a restaurant business? When did this become one of the pros people can brag about? Lol too funny

I was sat at a table and waited for 40 minutes with my boyfriend for service. No one came to say anything to us or take any drink or food orders. It wasn t even busy, but other tables were helped. Super disappointed.

Really good food and vibes!

The food is super delicious! Service is great! You won t be disappointed

Great food , great atmosphere.

Great place to share drinks with friends. Skewers, soups and more delicious Korean comfort food.

Insanely overpriced. Two of us paid roughly $130 for our meal when all of the dishes came with relatively small portions. The noodles soup only costs more than 30 bucks with 2 instant noodles, a bit of canned luncheon meat and sausage. The fried rice was too soggy and too much pepper powder. We ended up leaving after taking just 1 bite of each.

Tako yaki was really good, the skewers were a bit bland though. @Victoria_Foodies

Spicy chicken drumettes 10/10 Beef bao 9/10 Beef and enochi skewers 9/10 Sausage and bun skewers 10/10 So good!!

Bao bun was soft and the meat was tender. The skewers were just the right amount of spicy. The portion sizes and prices for the sizes were however disappointing.

Very friendly staff and amazing food.

It was awesome ! I love korea food

Tasting:) staff is also kind

Really fun place. Relaxed environment for hanging out with friends. Tasty food and good drinks.

Been here twice now, and each time has been great. The atmosphere is fun, the staff are soo nice, and the food and drinks are absolutely fantastic. My favs are any of the fried chicken wings, the pancake trio, the bulgolgi fries, and the creamy tteokbokki. One of the gentlemen that works there informed me that their menu will be changing a bit next week, and I cant wait to go check out all the new stuff. I will be recommending this place to all my friends. Great spot to go to with a bunch of people and share everything, while drinking lots of soju

Ordered delivery through doordash. Food Arrived fine by driver, but the container my bulgogi was in leaked from the slightest tilt which was unexpected. Found a soupy mess, sad excuse for bulgogi as I got practically boiled beef. They put aluminum foil inside as well that did nothing to help with containing all the liquid which amounted to around half the bottom tray. Leaked all over my table and floor. Portion was extremely small with barely any beef for $17.50. Also ordered the fried chicken and was also disappointed by portion size. Got 8 small chicken wings coated in a super thick layer of batter. Chicken was overall just okay, somewhat dry and mainly batter . There are better places in town with larger sizing at the same price. Was not expecting only wings as well in my order. Overall, expensive prices for small portions and poor quality.

Such awesome awesome awesome food, this place hit the spot so damn good. I got like 7 different things and loved all of it. Only reason I rated atmosphere lower was based on like what the average person might think but I personally really prefer this type of place, felt right at home. 10/10.

What a gem! This place feels authentic to the cuisine it serves - youd find loads of places like this in Asia. The food is delicious, theyve crafted a great menu that has something for everyone. The creamy seafood udon looked amazing. The bao party was great for a group and received rave reviews. Youll feel comfortable playing cards or soju games or singing along to the K-pop leaning playlist. Awesome to have another late night food spot in Victoria, let alone one with great food and a fun vibe.

Service was so quick and kind. The Bao party platter was very delicious, if youre interested in having a good time, just get it already.

Fun unique place to eat, lots of sharing options. The yangnyeom fried chicken was amazing, very crunchy and delicious sauce.

Food was spicy which I like. Big portion on Bulgogi Fries, too. Staff was friendly and attentive

We chose this restaurant based on its high star rating on Google, but it was a total disappointment! There is little vegetarian selection, the only thing I could order was veggie ramen, which came out to be a tiny bowl of ... instant noodles? ... with a few pieces of carrots and broccoli haphazardly tossed in a bland broth. For $17 it sure deserved more effort from the kitchen. And unlike all the Korean restaurants weve been to, this one gives NO banchan (the de rigueur condiment dishes) at all. What a rip off!

Great, kind service. Atmosphere is a bit loud with the music, especially with how little people were eating there at the time. Otherwise, the dark tones and neon LEDs make for a good night. The food is delicious! I recommend the beef skewers with the mushroom. Vegetarian options: Few vegetarian options. Kid-friendliness: Not for kids, they play rowdy, uncensored music. Wheelchair accessibility: On the ground floor, thought the doorway may be tight.

Its really delicious to come all the way to Victoria Island and eat delicious Korean food. I really enjoyed the soft tofu, Jeyukgospel, chicken and stir-fried squid. The friendly appearance of the owner made me feel a sense of Korean cuisine.

I wanted to eat Korean food so I quickly looked for this restaurant and it was so delicious! I had bulgogi and soft tofu stew and it was really delicious. I was very grateful for the service :) The owner is kind, and I want to come back for a drink next time!!

Excellent food and fair prices.

We really liked the food, I enjoyed the sundubu jiggae and ate until the last drop of the soup! Unfortunately I had to provide -1 star as the cocktail tasted like mocktail. Hopefully this could be reviewed/improved!

Victoria Pocha is niceuuu Amazing drinking vibe Food

Great service, and really good food! Portions were generous.

Soju makgeolli is the best Food service is all good

super good korean food! and rice wine!

A nice place in Victoria with good Chinese food. You can eat alone, as I did, but I would recommend going there with friends. A place to end the evening nicely.

Great service from the employees and good food! I recommend the beef bulgogi!

I really enjoyed Pocha the first few times I went there. I was absolutely obsessed with the bulgogi fries, however the last time I went there they didnt put the cheese sauce directly on the fries, so it was basically cold cheese sauce on the side. The dish had way less bulgogi meat and no scallions. It honestly was not good anymore. I hope they change the bulgogi poutine back to the original, this change makes me not want to return. The rest of the items were good as usual.

Thanks guys!!! We had a great time. Always recommend - great atmosphere, food and service. Food : 5/5

ordered from doordash and got the cutest drawing on one of the containers! food was great as well! Food : 5/5

This place is my new go-to Korean restaurant. Their Nagasaki Jjambong taste great and their gukbap is great, my sister enjoyed it. Their lunch specials are great deal, which 3 side dishes and a choice between gyoza, gimari, and takoyaki. If you are craving for a Korean food, Ill surely recommend Victoria Pocha!

Had an amazing time and ate the most delicious food for my partners birthday dinner. We had a group of 10+ people and the staff were so friendly and accommodating. We ordered a significant number of items off the menu - literally none of them disappointed us. We were so impressed with the Korean flavours, the textures and the size of the dishes for the price. We dined for hours and enjoyed many of the soju flavours - really loved the K-Shaft! The staff brought out cake for the birthday boy (we didnt even have to ask!) and also sent us out the door with delicious Melona bars. They also took a Polaroid picture for their wall and sent us home with a copy. Very impressed with the thought and care that went into our service. 10/10 would recommend and we will be back. :) Vegetarian options: Only a few vegetarian options - okay for Pescatarians though Dietary restrictions: Not gluten-free/Celiac friendly

Love the atmosphere and service here, the food was not to my taste but my friends like it so maybe it s just me

There is a 1 inch step by the men washroom door. It tripped my son up and hits his head on the wall. There is no clear sign when the door is opened, although the owner claimed there is.

Great little hole in the wall korean spot next to a karaoke joint, cool korean street food appetizers great beef bulgogi.

Very very nice, workers are all very nice,really kind. Food is very good, drinks are earlly nice, good vibes, good drinks, really enjoyable. I personallny enjoyed all the drinks and good people around here. I am grateful of all the experiences Ive enjoyed here. I highly recommend visiting!!

This is the best place for good drink!! Any Korean place you think ! All the K-pop you think, this is here.I love this place.

Food is amazing and the service is great too! Recommended for sure!!
