Hongdae Pocha Cafe

This place was a total trip. It was packed at midnight and blasting 80s kpop. I couldn’t stop watching the corny old Korean TV commercials they were showing on all the screens. Staff was very friendly and recommended a great takeout meal for us. The Pork Belly was super yummy and the Chewy Noodle really hit the spot with the fresh veggies and squid (really fun to eat, too… they gave us each a glove). I highly recommend this place for the great late night vibes and the super friendly staff.

So I don’t usually do reviews but I decided to do this for the public good coz its new… and my friend and I thought it would be hilarious.
As I saw their advertisements on Facebook, my friend and I decided to check them out.
The place was spacious with 2 floors. They had booths but also open round tables with stools. The lighting was dark (potentially romantic?). My friend and I were very amused with the wall shelf completely filled with ketchup and sirarcha bottles.
Their menu is pretty limited with 8 items. We went for the bbq tray and the egg pancake roll. While we were waiting, the servers came out with some side dishes, which included kimchi soup, shredded cabbage with mayo, seaweed and croquettes. I think it is service because they are so new still (4 days since opening?)
After a while, our food came. The bbq tray had assorted meats on it. It included grilled sausages, pork belly, squid, beef patties, ribs and shrimp in addition to some veggies. I especially liked the ribs. The egg pancake was very visually appealing but my friend didn’t think it was worth it. We also ordered cokes and rice to go with the food.
Overall it was pretty good. The service was great — maybe because we were one of the only customers there at the time the server could be more attentive. He checked on us several times.
Our bill came to around 65 $ excluding tip. We decided to take one star off because it was a little pricey. But its still good so I would recommend giving it a try :)

They have really good deal on Sun/​Wed/​Thur 3pm-​8pm. Food is authentic Korean with K-​pop playing in the place.

This is a new bar, located in Korea town. and yes it’s Korean
Menu is pretty decent. same for the beverage menu
Pretty much clone of the many Korean places in the area
I’d recommend for a drink, and to try something new
But those seats are not very inviting. Hopefully they fix that
