Surprisingly good deal on wings (almost $1 each), and decent flavor -- soy garlic is good but the spicy is slightly... chemical?
Good seafood pancake but the steak and eggs is too expensive and pretty flavorless.

Boka is a decent place for Asian cuisine. But I would only recommend it if you can tolerate spicy food. I ordered the Mapo tofu with rice but it came out very spicy! The other appetisers, however, are really tasty. Don’t forget to mention your spice tolerance to the servers before your order. I also appreciated the aesthetics of the restaurant.
The best Korean fried chicken in the city! The crisp and crunch is unreal and it's so juicy. The spicy wings are very spicy but still delicious. The kimchi fried rice is really good as well. The prices are very reasonable. The service is fast
This place has fallen off a cliff, very disappointed as I used to go here weekly.
Their food is getting worse and worse, the soy garlic wings are smaller, drier and less tasty. It was always hit and miss with freshness but I decided to give it a few more tries maybe I just got a bad batch? nope, gave it 3 chances and the korean fried chicken has been so dry, small and not worth it each time. The staff is very friendly but whats the point if the food is 1/5 ?
Beware: tip is included in bill so you will double tip if not paying attention, seems shady.

Really good fried chicken! Soy Garlic and Spicy were both really good. The chicken here is really crispy and juicy too - highly recommend.

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 to order.
Atmosphere: Popping and gorgeous looking people. Beautiful. Nice environment.

Spread your wings and fry
This is just what @bokanyc does! One of my favorite restaurants in the entire city is this little Korean restaurant on St. Marks. It’s open late and always delicious. We always go for the medium size of wings and drumsticks, half and half - half spicy and half soy garlic - with a side or appetizer of edamame. We normally get a bottle of sake but instead ordered a watermelon soju pitcher, and it did not disappoint.

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 side the restaurant is that it is cash only (they use to take credit cards) and I have at times felt a little ignored by the waitstaff. Otherwise, I truly love this place, nice laidback chill environment with great food.
