Love the vibes at Pocha House! Pocha House offers Korean street food classics in a vibrant, high energy space. I've been to ticketed events at Pocha House like R&B night, and I recently stopped by with friends for drinks and a bite. This is definitely a spot you won't want to miss on a night out on the town, and their food is globally inspired and sure to satisfy. My group of four started at the bar with a round of shooters, and we were seated at a booth in less than 20 mins, despite being a walk-in on a Saturday night. Service was quick, and we were offered the option of dining with chopsticks or a fork. To start, I ordered a Lychee Martini, and it was served with fresh fruit on the rim! The drink was sweet and strong without feeling overpowering. For dinner, I ordered the bulgogi. It came out on a sizzling plate, and it was perfect to share. I'm looking forward to coming back and trying more of their menu, especially their Spicy KFC! Pocha House is a fun edition to the Midtown foodie and night life scene. Be sure to stay for the DJ!

I came here with a friend for Saturday late night food and we had around a 20 minute wait, so we just waited in the car. There's a lot of residential street parking nearby, so we just ended up chilling and waiting until they gave us a phone call. Fortunately we did not need to wait inside the store, since it was quite packed and the music was really loud. We actually didn't realize it was more of a drinks and dancing type place until it got later in the night and people started filling up the restaurant to dance. The menu is a little overwhelming, but we ordered the kimchi fried rice, the pocha shin ramen, and the bulgogi fries. The food took a little while to come out, but when it did it was piping hot and ready to eat! I enjoyed our food immensely. Service is a little haphazard since it became difficult to flag down our server to get our check later in the night but I understand, it is an overstimulating place to work. Overall I would come back here again if I was in Sac to try some more of their options (e.g KFC and sides like corn cheese)!

I came early on a Friday evening with little to no people there! The staff were finishing their cleaning, but we're really glad to help us. We ordered the makgeolli (rice wine) along with some food. The bulgogi fries & the soy garlic fried chicken were both solid options. They also have a DJ around 10 pm on the weekends if you're in for a more louder dinner experience. I definitely would come back here

I love this spot--been here a few times now but this past time we came in on a Monday night, around 6, and were the only ones in there for at least 40 minutes. It was after thanksgiving week so that could've factored into why. Vibe here is immaculate and I know the late night scene is a fun one, but they truly do have some good food!!! The wings are my favorite, a little crunchy, sweet and spicy, well-cooked. I adore the pickled daikon radish on the side and a nice lil cabbage salad. HIGHLY recommend :) Our waitress was sweet & attentive & everyone who works here seems to be in a good mood and really helpful! A really good Korean-American option around the corner from the cute streets in the Ice Blocks.

Have been getting into Korean food lately, so wanted to check out Pocha House! Finding parking took so long :( They do not have a designated parking lot and the building is located next to a railroad, so it's all street parking The restaurant decor is really on theme and has a nice vibe for a night out with friends. For food, we ordered: 1. Tteokbokki - rice cakes were perfectly chewy and the sauce was not too spicy with the perfect amount of savory-ness. 2. Bulgogi Fries - super crispy fries topped with flavorful bulgogi and drenched in a creamy sauce and lots of cheese! Really hit the spot and I could not get enough of it! I also dipped the fries in the tteokbokki sauce, and that was really good too. Overall, we ordered the perfect combo of comfort food, and I definitely want to come back sometime to try their drinks!

My friends and I had an outstanding experience at Pocha House. Admittedly, we had apprehensions because it looks more like a nightclub than a Korean restaurant. Ironically, I loved the food and didn't care for my cocktail! Our waitress was great from start to finish. We had Soju, Korean Spicy Fried Tofu, Beef Bulgogi, Stir Fried Rice Cakes, Kimchee Fried Rice with Spam. What was great is that we had a few dishes set aside the meat proteins so that our vegetarian friend was able to enjoy the dishes the rest of us were enjoying. Every dish was balanced and flavorful. I wouldn't hesitate to visit Pocha House again.

I've been back to Pocha House a few times now and it's a vibe. From the neon lights and great music to the attention to detail, even in spots like the bathroom. I have heard the nightlife is great here, but I prefer the slower hours where I can enjoy a meal or a spot at the bar. I've also ordered takeout when I'm craving Korean food and the experience has always been great. A lot of the food offerings are sharable and meant to be enjoyed along with great friends and drinks. Their soups are delicious and one of the menu items that you'll want to order as a dine in experience. Some of my other favorite items are the tteokbokki, wings and bulgogi, but there's a lot of variety on the menu and a little something for everyone. The portions are generous and everything is so flavorful. I like to sit at the bar when I'm not getting takeout and the staff is always really nice. The music is also great here and if you're into it they have DJs come in and events that you can check out. They're open late and food is available late too!
