This is the whole grind Korean experience. The soju watermelon and beef was epic. We followed it with the kitchen fried rice and spicy pork belly. So good food. Its a no frills environment with just nothing but good food and drink. If you visit with great company this is an awesome place to keep it low key yet is a vibe. EIN was an amazing server and made some awesome recommendations. Service with a smile and excellence

Pocha 32 is my favorite place for a fun night out with friends! The whole place is just so adorable and lively. I absolutely love the cute decor, with soju bottle caps hanging from the ceiling and sweet little notes written everywhere. It makes for such a fun vibe! The drinks and food are everything! We always get the watermelon soju, and it's so much fun. We got both the cute pouch with the light-up ice cubes and the real deal served in the half-cut watermelon. The BBQ chicken is delicious too, and it's the perfect meal to share. Even though the music is super loud (haha) and the person at the door was a tad rude, the servers were so nice and sweet. The whole experience is always worth it!

Celebrated a birthday for my friend here and everyone was exceptional. The servers were attentive and our food was served promptly upon ordering. We had problem deciding what to order initially so we kept asking for more time, and they were very kind to wait for us. They were able to accommodate one of my friends who had a shellfish allergy for the rice cakes by not adding in fish cakes. And they also gave us a candle and played the birthday song for my friend. Vibes and atmosphere was great! Gratuity is already added on the receipt with extra tip on the bottom. I tipped extra for the great experience.

Pocha 32 did the drinks right. We ended up ordering each soju they had and felt they were all good. The yogurt and honeydew were my personal favorites. The food was decent but also pretty expensive compared to what you can get around the area. The vibes inside were also great, the music and wall decor fit was great company to have while drinking.

Fun place to drink in koreatown! We got the Watermelon soju and the melon soju. The watermelon soju was delicious! I do not like bottled fruit soju as they are too sweet for me but this fresh watermelon soju was very refreshing and not overly sweet! The melon soju was nice but I would recommend just getting the watermelon soju. The ddeokbbeoki was decent but very small for $20. Overall the service was good, they are very fast.

I enjoy going to pocha because they stay open late. They're famous for their fruit soju, with flavors like watermelon, pineapple, and honeydew, which I find quite good. After a late night, I often come here for their seafood stew, which includes ramen, mushrooms, spam, and kimchi--it's really comforting. The eel and pig's trotter are also excellent, while the seafood pancake, though tasty, can be a bit too oily for my liking. It can get busy during peak dinner hours, so there might be a wait. The prices are reasonable, and a fun touch is that you can grab a marker to write or draw on the walls to leave a memory.

We loved this place so much that we came twice during our trip to NYC. The food is absolutely incredible—super flavorful, delicious, and served unbelievably fast. It’s hands down the best Korean food I’ve ever tried! The ambiance is lively and fun, with a youthful crowd that adds to the energy. On our second visit, we arrived after midnight without a reservation and had to wait on the stairs, so I highly recommend booking in advance to avoid the wait.

Unfortunately, this place feels very different now. It used to be such a cool spot to hang out after work or grab dinner, especially late at night when it was packed with energy and the food was great. This time, the experience was not the same. The atmosphere felt off and the food quality has definitely gone down compared to before. The only positive was that the service was still on point. It’s disappointing because this used to be one of my favorite late-night places.

After liquors, my friends suggested we grab some late-night food here. The overall taste was just average, and based on my friends' opinions, the quality seems inconsistent. BBQ Beef: The best dish! The beef was tender and juicy, with a delicious aroma of fat and rich meat juices. The seasoning was primarily sweet but not overpowering, enhancing the overall flavor. BBQ Chicken Feet: It was a bit spicy for me, a Cantonese, but still tasty. The chicken feet were so tender that the bones came off easily with just a bite. Japche / Beef: Disappointing. Generally, Japche, or in China, Chao He Cai炒合菜(Stir-fried mixed vegetables), shouldn't have much sauce, but this place had a thick layer of sauce. Besides being excessively salty and sweet, I couldn't taste any other flavors. The restaurant lighting was really dim; if you plan to take photos, remember to use extra lighting.

Came here the other night for a quick dinner before a comedy show, and I will say the vibe always hits at this place. The pub-feel and music are always great though a tiny bit loud at times. The food is good and we have some reliable favorites - the corn cheese, fried dumplings, BBQ meat - though I would say it's slightly above average. The soju is definitely a draw here - watermelon, melon, and pineapple and these are always great - sometimes maybe a bit too strong. All in all, a good place to pop in for a quick bite but if you're looking for fancy food in K-town or another Korean BBQ experience would obviously go elsewhere.

BE WARNED AWFUL SERVICE ON WEEKEND NIGHTS Food and drinks were good! I really enjoyed the corn cheese, one of the best I’ve had in my opinion. My friends and I went on a Friday night so it was packed. The atmosphere was lively and decent but the service was terrible, worst service I’ve ever gotten at a pocha place. The server was not attentive so we needed to grab his attention if we wanted anything (we didn’t even call for him that much) but we had to wait long times because it was hard to get him. I know it is typical to call for your servers if you want anything at pocha but this was bad. No hospitality and never checked in on us either. I understand it was a busy Friday night but he was taking shots with another table and being quite attentive to them lol We went to another pocha in K-Town the next night and it was so much better in every aspect and it was a busier Saturday night. I may try this place again but the service is deterring me from coming back.

Food is decent. Size - much smaller portions than they used to give, only had 1 pack of ramyun in the army soup (had to request for a second for $2-3. Service is ok, don’t expect any enthusiasm from the staff.

The food was not good at all. Very disappointing because this place gets a lot of hype. The drinks are ok. If it’s 3am go to another place for food. If you just want to drink sure. I understand it was loud but I was charged the non cash option when I paid with cash and that was disappointing to see the next day when me and my group were low maintenance and did not ask for much of anything. Not worth it.
