Pocha House

Such a fun time here! I love that this restaurant is open late. We had great service from our waitress. My favorite dish I've had here is the Kimchi fried rice and tteokbokki. In the picture is the kimchi carbonara, hot Cheetos corn cheese, fire booty booldak. I'm not a fan of the kimchi carbonara but my sister said it was her favorite dish. The hot Cheetos corn cheese was yummy as well. I love that the cheese on the fire booty booldak is melted in front of you. The bar is a fun time as well and they played the kings game. Major brownie points! Highly recommend this restaurant for some late night munchies and drinks!

Great drinks and great vibes! A cool place to hang out with friends and get some good food. My go to drink is the pink venom!

Always treated well by staff. Definitely recommend coming here!

First time at Pocha and came to have fun drinks and food with friends so I didn't snap any photos! I'll review from my favorite dishes in decreasing order!

Corn Cheese: A very simple dish, but I really enjoyed theirs when it came out! The corn is sweeter than usual and so it was balanced deliciously with the slight charred cheese that they fire on the spot!

Bulgogi Fries: Another classic dish that was well done. The fries were delicious and I really liked the bulgogi. Though the bulgogi pieces are very small and this plate is littered with kimchi. So I do wish it was less kimchi and or the meat pieces were bigger because it was good!

Soy Garlic KFC: Good. Satisfactory. I have had other Korean fried chicken that are immense in flavor so I think this was middle tier.

Rose Pasta: Good, but extremely tomatoey. I personally don't like tomatoes, but if you do, you'd probably enjoy this.

Garlic Fries: Normal and ordered for more food.

My friends and I came around 8pm and stayed until around 11pm; it was pretty empty and I wonder if the environment would have been different if it was more packed. We chalked it up to a Sunday (work/school night). But the vibes were still nice, lovely lighting and space between tables. I would have preferred different music than what they played. Our waitress was extremely attentive!

Interior = Fun, vibrant, energetic atmosphere with cool, neon lighting.

I had a group of ~12 and we sat down decently quickly and were served as soon as possible. Service was really good when my group and I were here, so we had a good time hanging out and chatting.

Food on the other hand was very pricy for what they make. Don't get me wrong, the food is tasty, but honestly not worth the price tag. Good experience, but I probably won't revisit for the food, but mainly for the Pocha atmosphere.

FYI, parking is very limited, so street parking is honestly the way to go.

Ambiance was great, they played all the current hip-hop and R&B jams. Was def vibing singing along on very warm early summer evening. It's an interesting decor with a dark base of smoke gray/black but with pops of color from what looked like fluorescent lighting? But it was daylight so I don't know for sure.

Service was great, Justine and Kim (on the first visit) Ang and Em (on the second visit) were very kind, hospitable, and super cool. Granted it seemed like I got there before a dinner rush both times, I think there was only two parties there at the time each time. They said there's a DJ Friday nights at 10, but not clubby haha.

Onto the food (which was ordered to go), the spicy pork bulgogi came with kimchi and rice. Not spicy either, which always scares me at first with Korean spices haha. But thankfully this one wasn't over the top. I did hear the spicy KFC is spicy though, in case you're thinking of ordering it. The dish was definitely tasty, you know it's good when you're lightweight sad it's all been eaten. When you put all elements of what a good eatery should be, this place hit all the checkmarks. Would definitely come back and dine in for future dinners in Sac Midtown.

Came here for an event last month and couldn't wait to return. My peeps and I had a little bit of everything and were so full after.
I started with a pineapple cider and boy was it tasty. While I enjoyed my cider I probably would have been better off with sharing two soju bottles with the tables.

Once my party arrived per the suggestion of the server we ordered a lychee soju for the table and whew it creeps up on ya!

For the appetizer we ordered the bulgogi fries which gave us some of everything and yooooo it was so good!!! From the kimchi to the bulgogi the mix of flavors were chefs kiss. As a non beef eater I did taste the bulgogi and it was so good . A little sweetness to the meat and well seasoned. Had to stop myself from eating more but wanted to at least see what the hype was as I didn't taste it the previous visit.

For the entrees two of us had. Soy KFC and the other had the tteokbokki with added fried seaweed rolls.

While they don't have happy hour which is of course a bummer for 3 entrees, 1 appetizer, 2 drinks, and a bottle of soju all for $118 that's pretty darn good in my book!!!


I'm so mad at myself I didn't get our servers name as she did a phenomenal job and was legit the only person handling the entire front. Also shoutout to the bartender for stepping in a helping her as well when the place started to get packed with people.

I can't recommend this place enough! I can't wait to return to try the spicy pork bulgogi and fire botty booldak.

Ample parking around but make sure you park in spots with enough time to enjoy your time worry free of parking enforcement

Such a trendy spot with great food!

The food:
Hot Cheetos Corn Cheese love this!
Spicy Korean Fried Chicken very spicy and delicious!

I'd order both of these dishes again. If you love corn cheese and hot Cheetos then getting them in one dish is an obvious choice. If you love spicy food then I'd also recommend trying the spicy KFC.

The restaurant has lots of fun lighting and art work to really give this place a fun vibe for a hangout or date. I went super late one evening and really thought this place looked like a fun spot with a decent amount of seating.

One of my favorite Korean spots! The noodles and wings here are extremely delicious. They play great music and the inside is definitely a vibe.

Long overdue post but Pocha House is your go to modern kickback Korean spot that you just want to take your friends too and hang out over a good meal. The owners definitely nailed the concept of an after work hang out spot with their delight authentic Korean street food and drinks. First checked out this place during a fun Yelp event and I couldn't stop raving afterward of the food and service. Wait staff was super attentive and even gave us free shots of their soju. Ambiance gives off a fun, young, hip vibe with good food and great music playing in the background. Would definitely come back and bring my friends to family to Pocha House, maybe even for one of the DJ nights.

The inside of this place is so cute and spacious! There are neon symbols hanging from the ceiling that add character. We went as the sun was going down and they don't have any shades to block sunlight so we just sat with the sun blinding us. The service was okay but I think we caught one of the servers on a bad day, it's okay because our main server was an absolute gem.
Food quality was good, flavors were also good but the portions didn't match the prices in my opinion.
Probably won't go again but it was a good experience.

This was my first time here and the service sucks.... I came here to have a birthday dinner with my friends and will not be coming back. We got our table at 9:35 pm as they messaged us, got our food at 9:50 pm and the serve Janelle came and told us we have 90 minutes for our table and we need to leave by 10:30 pm..... we haven't even enjoyed the food and they were already kicking us out. We also waited 40 minutes for our table at the bar and the fact that they were kicking us out when it wasn't even 90 minutes was so rude.

If you do end up here the bulgogi fries are definitely a must have. The Tteok-bokki was a little too salty. Other than that there's not much. Definitely will not come here again.
