Reviews for Boka in New York, NY
Best Korean Fried chicken I?ve had, hands down. It?s cash only so just be aware of that too!
I got Kimchi Jjigae(Kimchi Stew) 1. It was too salty. I don't know what they put it. But strong soy sauce or fish sauce... taste. I put a lot of water in my stew pot. All my assumptions. But I can tell the Kimchi stew tasted bad. Better to go toKtown and get Kimchi jjigae. 2. No side dish. Side dishes are not mandatory. It also seems like going to Ktown's Koreanrestaurants will be better. If you want to get some side dishes. As I said, side dishes are not MUST thing. But if you want toget your entree with some side dishes at the same price, better to go to Ktown. This is 100% true. 3. It said this jjigae iswith rice cake, pork belly and kimchi. But No Rice cake - when I asked them about the rice cake, they said they don't use therice cake anymore. - I don't know why they didn't notice me earlier. Regarding the pork belly, the pork were all fatty part.Too fatty part. So I took them all. 4. Cash only I don't know why cash only. No benefit for paying cash only.???? I am notoffending this restaurant. But... the bad taste is a strong problem. Anyway, I haven't tried other menus so I cannot say thisrestaurant sucks. At least, the Kimchi jjigae was... so bad.???? I was hungry so I had to eat by the way....???? Why is it sohard to find a nice Korean restaurant in this neighborhood?.. Read more
Easily the best fried chicken I?ve ever had. The sauce is powerful but not overwhelming, the crust has a great crunch and tastes... brilliant when hot. Chicken inside was well cooked. Soy garlic was my favorite but you can try spicy using the half and halfoption. Read more
I?ve been to place more times than I can count. It?s a monthly staple for me and the homies. Garlic soy chicken is like many... others have mentioned amazing. I?ve yet to be personally disappointed with any item I?ve ordered at this place. On the down sidethe restaurant is that it is cash only (they use to take credit cards) and I have at times felt a little ignored by thewaitstaff. Otherwise, I truly love this place, nice laidback chill environment with great food. Read more
Heads up: the restaurant is cash only. I?ve lived in the neighborhood for a long time and this was my first time trying Boka. ... We got there at around 4pm before any crowds. The restaurant has a chill vibe. We got the garlic soy wings which were great. Thebulgogi was really tasty and overall the bibimbap was good. Would dine here again for sure. Didn?t have any issues. Hope thisreview helped, if so give it a ???????? Read more
Boka?s fried chicken is next level! The legs/wings were so incredibly crispy outside, and each one had a substantial amount of... meat. They weren?t too oily or salty, as some fried chicken can be, and I was craving more even after we finished the platter.The kimchi pancake was also a great side. I would definitely recommend this place to my friends! Read more
Hand to god the best chicken I?ve had in my life. So perfectly crispy. So spicy. So delicious. We got the combo chicken, size M,... for two, and it was PLENTY of food. Cash only so plan ahead and bring some $$. Seafood pancake was also fantastic, and theirkimchi, which was a generous portion. Loved it! I?ll be dreaming about this meal until I can get back to the city. Read more
Food: Ordered the spicy wings and they were delicious. Only ordered 10 and they were enough for two people. Fries were great as... well. The drink was okay. Service: Because there's so many people at Boka, you have to wave someone down for you to be able toorder. Atmosphere: Popping and gorgeous looking people. Beautiful. Nice environment. Read more
