About
'Kim Skill' pocha in Itaewon — anju flexes over soju rounds.
Kim Sillyeok Pocha — 'Kim Skill' — backs its confident name with Itaewon's most credentialed pocha kitchen: the signature fried chicken comes from a KFC-trained chef (eat it hot, per doctrine), the Nagasaki jjamppong brings heat that fresh beer exists to balance, and the staff's 'best pairing' counsel — chicken plus noodles as the documented combination — is the menu's intended grammar. The hours are the district's deepest: 5:30pm starts running to 4:30am standard and 9am Friday-Saturday — genuine breakfast-hour service for the night's survivors and the post-drinking meal constituency. Pre-8pm weekend arrivals or pre-orders beat the group crush. Anju flexing over soju rounds until sunrise: the pocha format at skill level, name verified nightly.
Local tips
- Order ahead or arrive before 8 PM weekends — no walk-in queue but popular with groups.
- Try the fried chicken first (signature by KFC-trained chef) while it's hot and crispy.
- Pair spicy dishes like Nagasaki Jjamppong with fresh beer to balance heat.
- Late-night visits ideal: open until 4:30 AM weekdays, 9 AM Fri-Sat for post-drinking meals.
- Ask staff for 'best pairing' combinations — menu works best when ordered together (e.g., chicken + noodles).
