I had an amazing time at Kong Pocha in Davis Square this past Sunday! 🍴✨ Nestled in the original Kong Dong location, 236 Elm St, Somerville, MA, this gem serves up a storm of Korean street food delights, including ramen, Tteokbokki, Korean cheese dogs, and a tantalizing array more! 🍜🧀🌭

To kick things off, we indulged in a comforting bubble tea and a refreshing blueberry lemonade. 🧋🍋 The taro milk boba, a nutty flavor haven, was an instant hit with my boyfriend.

Our feast began with the Rose Tteokbokki, which had rice cakes, vegetables, cheese bread, sausages, and dumplings, all drenched in a curry sauce that’s spicy yet bearable, unlike traditional Tteokbokki (which I find to be very spicy sometimes!!). This dish is a crowd-pleaser, perfect for sharing among 2-4 people, and left us eager for more! 🌶️🧀🥢 Rating: 9/10.

Next up, the Korean Traditional Bento Box, a delightful mix of white rice, stir-fried kimchi, beef, sausages, and a fried egg. The beef was standout, and the variety in the box was a joy, complementing the Tteokbokki perfectly as the rice soaked up the delicious curry sauce. 🍱🥚🥩 Rating: 8/10.

We also couldn’t resist trying their newest creation, the Buldak Noodle Omelette - a creative twist of fried noodles enveloped in egg, both beautifully presented and delectably shareable. 🍳🍜 Rating: 8/10.

I’m already planning my next visit to Kong Pocha, not just for its proximity to my home but for its vibrant, shareable meals that brilliantly satisfy all my Korean cuisine cravings. It’s a cozy spot with an inviting vibe, perfect for a casual dining experience.
