Finally we came to this Korean restaurant tonight and knew that we had made the right decision. We tried their Bossum and Seafood pancake and it turned out they were really delicious. Our server was very friendly and professional. Their pricing is very reasonable. We will definitely be coming back and highly recommend this restaurant!

Amazing place for korean comfort food. My favorite is the street noodles with the awesome sauce. I have to order two when I come here because it's so good. Also, the bossam was the highlight, so juicy, tender, and when eating with the side of pickled radish, its a perfect combo. Definitely a hole in the wall because the food is too good for the location.

Great spot for Korean comfort food. We had the grilled tteokbokki, bulgogi udon, pork belly and spicy pork. We had a side of garlic soy wings which weren't that impressive. All the other dishes were really tasty. Generous portions and decent prices. We had dinner at 6pm on Sunday and it was busy. Service was slow but likely this is just growing pains since this place is fairly new. We're definitely going back!

Dinner with the whole family last night and got so much delicious food! Hard to say what was our favorite dishes since the food was so yummy but definitely have to give a shout out to the cold spicy noodles & seafood pancake which we all ate so quickly that we couldn’t even get a picture. 🥴🥴🥴 Have to also mention the 3 non-traditional dishes that they serve here that were super tasty: Bossam, Pork Belly Kimchi with Tofu & Grilled Tteok Bokki! We will be back!

The other day I was in Cerritos for work and I was craving some Korean food, but didn’t want Korean barbecue. So this place popped up. It’s a new small and pop Korean restaurant and when I first walked in it smelled so good. I asked the server to recommend me a few dishes and they all came out delicious. My favorite was the kimchi fried rice and also the pork Don Katsu. These portions here are very big so make sure you come with some friends and enjoy. I will definitely come back next time and I recommend you to try this place.

We found this place while going through restaurants in the area. The food here was excellent and the staff were very friendly. I would highly recommend the pork belly or the beef lunch box. The price to portion was also pretty fair. I'd highly recommend this place to anyone.

We had a delicious meal - chicken wings, bulgogi sliders, noodles and army stew. It was fun to drink Milkis and Soju as well. Parking is very easy. Service is friendly and food came out quickly and tasted delicious. This place has a great modern take on Korean street food. Will definitely be back every time we are in the area!

Had a great experience coming to Pocha Eats at dinner time the first day of their soft opening! I came with my family and everyone really liked the food. We started with the seafood pancake which was gigantic and everyone liked it! (including my picky, little sister who didn't want to try it at first ) We also got the royal soba which was really yummy and refreshing. My little sister loves ramen so she got the spicy seafood ramen but be careful it's pretty spicy! She loves spicy foods so she enjoyed it at the restaurant and as leftovers the next day! My dad got the spicy pork and finished his whole plate. I ordered the grilled tteokbokki for the table and everyone liked that the rice cake was perfect with a crisp on the outside and chewy on the inside! We were pretty stuffed at that point but we had also ordered a bulgolgi udon which everyone liked! My mom even said she usually doesn't like udon but she really liked this one because of the texture of the noodles!! I also enjoyed the playlist of kpop songs playing on the speakers! Our server was also the sweetest and was happy to bring us anything we asked for! Would love to come back and try the kimchi jjigae or army stew next!

OMG what a unique food experience! Everything was fresh and full of flavor. The owners are the most gracious & welcoming with their authentic Korean recipes. The pork belly melts in my mouth with just the right amount of balanced seasoning. Will definitely be back for more!

Love the food! The bo ssam is their most popular dish and it delivers. Not just boiled, but cooked in a special sauce that gave it tons of flavor. The bulgogi yaki udon was filled with so much meat and a surprising meal.

The food was enjoyable, and I would like to try other dishes. Unfortunately, they mixed our order up, and we didn't get to try the sliders.

Amazing place for korean comfort food. My favorite is the street noodles with the awesome sauce. I have to order two when I come here because it's so good. Also, the bossam was the highlight, so juicy, tender, and when eating with the side of pickled radish, its a perfect combo. Definitely a hole in the wall because the food is too good for the location.

Pocha is one of my favorite places to eat with my friends! The ladies who work there are always so friendly and quick to serve you. I always look forward to my next meal here! 😋

"Modern Korean street food inspired by pojangmacha tent culture! Their signature Pocha Bossam (soy-glazed pork belly) is legendary—tender, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The kimchi jjigae is pure comfort food that tastes homemade, and the crispy seafood pancake and garlic parmesan chicken wings are exceptional.

Good spot for Korean comfort food. It's located in a run down strip mall, so the location is not the best. I like that they have a variety of menu items beyond the usual bulgogi bibambak and tofu soup. Their most popular dishes are the grilled meat so I'd recommend those. The other dishes such as seafood pancake and kimchi fried rice are lackluster. The purple yam cheese cake is worth a try if you have a sweet tooth, but it just tastes the same as regular cheesecake.

Nice little modern and quiet Korean restaurant with simple but savory options. I got the pork belly bento box which comes with white rice, japchae glass noodles, radish kimchi, pickled daikon, glazed wings & pork belly. They were generous with the amount rice and the sides. The wings were sweet and succulent. The pork belly was very tender a savory, I personally just enjoyed it with the radish kimchi & pickled daikon instead of the sour sauce it comes with. Friendly waitress and the food came fast.

Came in here on a early Friday evening for an early dinner and I was happy I did. This spot is a chill neighborhood restaurant to grab a bite to eat. There is a definitely a good selection of Korean finger food, comfort and drinking food. Service is kind, welcoming and attentive. The yuzu lemonade was a tad on the artificial side, but good on a hot day. The bosam plate was good, but I do miss either the cabbage or the perilla leaves to tie all of the ingredients together. Nevertheless, eating it with some rice does the job too. In a dead plaza, this is one of the few things in that is keeping it alive.

the bossam alone wins all the brownie points, but the place itself wasn't the best vibe spot.. there's lots of lil twists? on standard korean dishes, like the huge helping of onions? in the rose tteokboki, tons of pickled extras in the bossam dish, but some frankly awkward staff.. otherwise, the rose tteokboki was good, a basic creamy base but the bulgogi was unfortunately forgettable, sweet, chewy, and hella soupy. the bossam though, is the winner, generous portions for the price, and pretty tender meat in the fattier cuts! other parts were rather hard and chewy, but it stretches comfortably into two meals, which counts for something in this economy 🙌

Friendly staff. Plenty of parking. The area is kinda run down with the supermarket being closed. I had the chicken wings (I'm not going to talk about them) and tteokbokki. The rice cakes were loaded with extras but they lacked spiciness. They didn't have kimbap here, but they do have Korean tacos and a quesadilla that I will come back to try.

Ordered bossam for take out today and half of the meat was pure fat.. see the pics below.. ended up throwing away the most of them. I was debating whether I should call for refund but decided not to.. such a waste of my time and money..
