Gogo Pocha

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.
