Gogo Pocha

For dinner, I paid a visit to Gogo Pocha! I’ve visited one of their other branches before, and had a lovely time. Staff were very friendly and attentive to me the entire visit, and the food arrived relatively quickly! I’d recommend this place for groups of 1-4, as it is a bit small, however do not let the size deter you from the affordable and yummy food they provide :) The dumplings were beautifully crispy, and paired perfectly with the soy sauce. My kimchi fried rice had the perfect ratio of meat and kimchi, and wasn’t too spicy for my palette. I’d come here again, definitely! <3

This is a cheap Koprean cafe almost in the style I would think Koreans restaurants are like. Friendsly, fast service and yummy food . A non-descript front, I passed it twice before I spotted it, and it it is a long narrow restaurant. Clean but basic decor is nto great but you realise you are not going to spend a packet when you enter the place. Service was quick and friendly and food was up to a good standard. I should have tried m0ore dishes but everyone was happy with the standard dishes

It's a dream to have Jokbal here in London! So tasty and it's suitable for 2-3 person. And the kimchi stew is a must-try, a bit acid and not too spicy. Well the Jajang noodle I like the less, quite sweet to me. Luckily we didn't need to wait, seats were full all at a sudden. I would like to come back again.

Overall, the flavors were not what I was expecting, nothing was salted very well and the spice level was low. It’s a small hole-in-wall pocha vibe, and the servers were attentive (none were Korean, thought owners seemed to be). One surprise was you have to order any banchan you might want as “starters.” Here’s what we had ordered: - Seafood Soon tofu soup: looked ok, but was bland, tasted almost like watered down seafood broth, and the was lukewarm - Raw beef bibimbap in stone pot: fine, the gochujang was more like chojang and kinda sweet and tangy but add a little salt or soy sauce and decent - Steamed egg: more like a scramble but tasted alright, they add a lot of sesame oil on top with no sesame seeds or anything else, but give you a big portion - Kimchi was not very fermented but rather, like gutjuri, a heap of it They seemed busy for a Saturday and people kept walking in - the demographic was largely non-Asian, that should have been my first warning sign. But it was close to our lodging and we just wanted some simple hot soup. It’s possible I ordered the wrong things but I consider these dishes pretty basic Korean food.

This place makes an awesome bibimbap in a sizzling hot stone bowl! The ice cream mochi is a perfect small dessert to end a satisfying meal. Not to mention, the staff are also super friendly and helpful!

Really loved the food. The beef and squid bolgogi was rich and spicy We also had the bibimbap The rice cakes with cheese were Great.

Really good little place! I wanted to try their raw beef/egg bibimbap and was not disappointed! Really delicious. Service was fast and friendly.

Came here for lunch on a bank holiday Monday and the place was reasonably busy but not too crowded. We ordered a bulgogi bibimbap (rice served in clay pot), a seafood pancake, and a BBQ beef ribs to share among the two of us. All dishes tasted delicious and overall good value for the price.

3.5 stars Although initially into the restaurants dinner time menu and the fact of being hungry, I did not have the same experience my second go around. The food for the lunch special was bland and flavorless (maybe the bulgogi needs the spice). I was the first person in the establishment so when I was seated the employees were just staring at me eating for the whole 30 minutes that I was there (a bit uncomfortable). I first thought it was because they were checking to time out giving me the check, but I ended up approaching them to pay once finished. I held too high of expectations for the lunch menu, featuring blandness soup with an oversized spoon (didn't finish at all), okay tasting side salads, and flavorless main dish.

their food is just okay. But the service is so bad. I asked something about the dish and they just pretend not understanding. I ordered rice wine and they gave me house wine without assuring me that rice wine was sold out! The waitress is not nice. They are had to communicate. Wish I would not have to come here again. Very negative experience.

GoGo Pocha is a small Korean restaurant located in the Lower Marsh area. We came here by chance, walking down the lane, feeling like lunch. What drew us in was their £4.99 lunch special, consisting of a main meal, miso soup and one side. We both ordered bibimbap, which turned out to be vegetarian. I don't mind vegetarian food, but I was really expecting meat in the bibimbap! As for the side, well we didn't even receive kimchi, just some seaweed - super disappointing! The bibimbap was okay, but quite bland, even with the chilli sauce. I've definitely had better elsewhere! The miso soup however was delicious, but it is not that hard to get wrong... Service was also slow. The restaurant was very busy but there was only one waitress and one man cooking - they really needed some extra help. I probably wouldn't make a special trip back to GoGo Pocha, but if you're in the area and are looking for a cheap lunch, then it might just suit you.

I had a bibimbap with bulgogi. The quality-price ratio is more or less fair since it is not that expensive but ingredients are not of good quality. There are way better bibimbap in London (either in restaurants, take-aways or food trucks) but if you are in the area starving for one it may be good enough.

Very solid food and friendly staff. The place is pretty small though so they have to pack people in and you may have to wait a bit outside for a table. But that's kind of the fun of it!

** review for delivery only ** Ordered from Deliveroo and it wasn't too bad but it wasn't great either. The kimchi wasn't quite ripe and didn't have a lot of flavour. As my main I ordered the spicy beef soup with noodles. I didn't realise that it came with rice so added an order of rice as a side and ended up with two portions of rice. I'll never say no to more rice and the rice portions were generous. The soup was only okay. It lacked depth in flavour and wasn't quite spicy either. I might try ordering again just because it's convenient but really for no other reason.

Korean restaurant in the heart of Lower Marsh. It seems to be quite popular with Koreans. However I found the quality went down since it opened a year ago. The kimchi pancake is still very tasty but I wouldn't go back. Last time I went I spent the rest of the night drinking water!

Hole in the wall! Good food great prices. Interesting variety of Korean food. Nice find

Food was cold, spicy pork was made with ground pork and greasy. Not the best by far in London

Best spicy pork i've eaten. Maybe best Korean restaurant in london for price/quality. Sure

Inexpensive, good Korean food, cosy dining. Loved the big soup :)

I love this place... Food ======= Great, cheap and really tasty. Service ===== Usually good (especially the guy! He is super nice.) You dont have to sing that loud with BGM.....We dont really care about your singing and dont skip the songs all the time! It was a bit annoying.

Hi it was better when they first opened very cheap but i would rather pay more and get better ingredients. I liked the seafood bibimbap and the pancake but its a bit greasier now and less seafood. I will still go again if in the area.

Good price and decent food for London. I was happy to find chicken feet on the menu as I had not seen Korean-style chicken feet in London yet, but sad that I didn't get cheese on my chicken feet like the other reviewer. Also, the meat for the stir-fried dishes are low quality and you can tell that they didn't do a good job of thawing the meat. But the seasoning is pretty legit, and you get what you pay for.
