Atmosphere: I've been to Pocha Street twice and I love it every time. I'm a sucker for a late night casual restaurant. I think the atmosphere is perfect for a dinner with friends and even for a casual date. The food were delicious both times I've visited. We've had the Korean BBQ. I love all the banchans (side dishes) it came with. They cooked the meat for us and checked up on our grill which I appreciated! We also ordered the Korean Fried Chicken Wings - they allowed us to do half of 2 flavors (Soy Garlic & Mango Habanero). Lastly, we had the Ddeok Bok Ki with cheese (love a good cheese pull). Oh and you can't forget eating KBBQ without soju! It's pricier than what you would buy in stores (of course) but it's well worth the experience of drinking with friends :) I'll be back to try more items from their menu!

Pocha Street (formerly Korea Grill House) is our go to place for Korean BBQ in the area. We always have a wonderful meal, fast and friendly service, and the ambiance (which seems to change quite often) most recently makes one feel like you're in a food tent along the Han River in Seoul. They grill the meat and cut it up for you - which is lovely. We typically order the beef brisket, marinated kal bi, pork belly - all excellent cuts of meat. We also get the kim chi jige, fried mandoo, Korean fried chicken wings, cheese corn (with yummy little pieces of sausage in the shape of a heart). The only thing we'd wish for more of is vegetables, although the salad that comes for each person is very tasty (albeit small). They take reservations which is very much appreciated (I also like going to KPot but that's always like a two-hour wait!), and the food overall is more varied and higher quality than Songsan in Ardmore).

Definitely hidden gem!! Party of two dined in Saturday evening and OMG!! Amazing vibe, decor and atmosphere!! When we first saw this place on insta and google, we thought it might just look good on picture and hesitant to go since its bit of distance from me But ABSOLUTELY amazing!! Just like the picture.. decor was amazing and it just brought me right back to my country korea! Not only that, we love LOVE kimchi jjigae/stew and kimchi side dish.. SO GOOOD!!!! We also had corn cheese with sausage and pork galbi I cannot wait to go back for some korean style chicken wing!!!! Flavored soju was good too

Me and a couple of my friends came here on a cold rainy evening. The place looked like it used to be a diner and gave those types of vibes but in a Korean street food way. One of my friends is gluten free so we got the two meats that were not marinated (the pork belly and the beef). Inside the place was super cute! Each table were decorated like street food tables in Asia. I really felt like I was transported to Korean to get some good food! The meats are good and fresh. It was a bit pricey but we split everything. We also go two orders of Korean fried chicken (soy garlic). Those boneless chickens were really good. I had to order a side of rice since they didn't give us rice with the banchan but it's all good. The staff was very nice and even helped us cook the food. We all had a great time and the food was excellent! Would love to return and try the different cuts next time :)

Love this place! It truly captures the vibe of Korean street food. Everything was great, except the meats--I wish they were fresher and of better quality. The staff were fantastic, and we had a blast with the sojuboom they made for us. Highly recommend if you want an authentic Korean street food experience!

Pocha was PHENOMENAL! If you're looking for delicious food, excellent service, and immersive ambiance, look no further than here. Jae and Mun were so gracious, and gave us a KBBQ experience like we'd never had before; I was definitely fangirling over the atmosphere, like we were in the heart of Seoul or something. The meats, the cheese corn and sausage, and the side dishes were chefs kiss, and neck and neck with how well we were looked after. So, do yourself a favor, and go to Pocha! You won't regret it, and you'll feel spoiled by Jae and Mun.

Very good, got the sampler. Could be better value since we barely had any to take home with us despite only being a party of 2 and it was $100

Pros: -good vibes for large crowds -attentive servers/owner -a lot of options (food) Cons: -meat needs more seasoning/flavor Will come back for the vibes.

Before my review, let me address a few inevitable comments: 1. Yes, it's expensive. Find me a local kbbq place that isn't! Budget at least $50/person, more if you're drinking. They did not appear to have an all-you-can-eat option. 2. Yes, you have to cook the food yourself. That's part of the concept. If you don't want to cook your own food, eat at a different type of restaurant. Also, the things that are labeled as spicy are... actually spicy. Caveat emptor. 3. I do not know if they can accommodate your dietary restriction, or if they have high chairs. I didn't ask about vegan/gf options, which weren't labeled on the menu. I didn't see any kids or a kid menu. Anyway -- long story short, my husband and I really liked it and will definitely be taking friends and family here. The food: They specialize in trendier korean dishes that are hard to find at more traditional restaurants. The banchan (little side dishes) were flavorful and unique, and really help cut through the richness of the meat. My best bite was tied between a ssam (lettuce wrap) filled with bulgogi, spicy kimchi, and garlicky sesame sauce, and a clump of thinly sliced ribeye dipped in salt/pepper/sesame oil and eaten with a thin slice of raw garlic. The bbq meats also came with a few little piece of vegetables (broccoli, squash, onion), which empowered me to eat a massive plate of meat without any hesitation. We also tried the tteokkbokki which was spicy and addictive with pillowy rice cakes and a perfectly boiled egg. Next time I'd like to try the fried chicken, the stews, and pretty much everything else. Service: The waiter was helpful and friendly, and regularly checked on us to make sure we weren't burning anything. They have little buttons at each table you can press to call a waiter over, but we didn't really need it. The waiter also did a cool party trick with the soju that I can neither replicate nor describe. I noticed a couple phone mounts at tables, not sure what that's about--selfie station? mukbang equipment? Environment: The restaurant interior is fun and quirky without being overly polished, as it's designed to look like a street eatery. Each table has a vent/fan that extends down to grill to really capture all the smoke. They play kpop on the stereo system and it is a smidge loud, which could make communication difficult if you're hard of hearing. I got the vibe that it's a bit of a party atmosphere Friday/Saturday night, and I think it'd be a fun place to get a little sloppy on soju with friends. I took a few pictures, but didn't get one of the headless 12 foot skeleton in the corner. You'll have to go and see for yourself!

First off, this unsuspecting place needs to be on your list, here's why: Once you step in, you're definitely transported to a cozy restaurant where you know you can just sit down and have an amazing meal. The atmosphere is inviting and every table is set up in a way that you're going to have an closer experience with your friends. Next, the service was amazing. Our waiter came by and took our huge order with ease and checked in on us multiple times to make sure we were fine. We were even approached by other staff to make sure we were fine. We didn't even have to ask for water refills, the waiters just came by and did it as soon as we ran out of water! The food was also top tier. The side dishes were plentiful, the wings were probably the best wings I've ever had compared to the usual places like Soho, BonChon, Tsao caa, the fish tofu stew was so good even though it was hot that I just downed several skewers easily. The corn cheese was also pretty good! The meat, from set A, however, weren't plentiful but enough to keep us so full that we didn't need anything else! The staff also helped us start cooking and then we did the rest on our own. I'd highly recommend coming by for the amazing food, amazing staff, and amazing atmosphere! Shout out to our waiter for giving two free bottles of soju for my birthday too!
