Great place to grab a drink and late night eats. My go to spot for late night catch ups with friends. Service is fast and this place gets packed on the weekends. Taking off a star because it can get loud, crowded and rowdy! There's 2 bathroom stall, 1 Male & 1 Female. So there's usually a line to use the bathroom. If you're looking for a place to have a quiet conversation, look elsewhere. Nonetheless, the servers and staff are so helpful and friendly. I recommend it. read more

this was the worst service i have ever received anywhere. we ordered food, two simple plates, and it took 15 minutes for the other plate to come up. they have a button system but dont use it. the ambiance is horrible. the owner kept messing with the music from full blast to almost silent. there is plenty of room for improvement and i dont think they plan on changing a thing. i wish i could give it 0 stars. read more

Funny enough the drink in the picture was the worst item we had has this restaurant. It was called highballs and it was a little misleading on the image. We thought we were getting a different drink then the menu shows. The fried rice with the cheese was delicious. I was scrapping up the left over cheese. The atmosphere was fun. The sojo bottles are reasonably priced along with the food. Maybe my review is a little skewed because we had 4 bottles of sojo and two beers. So I left on a pretty happy note. Convenient location, walking distance to H Mart and other businesses nearby. Has some outdoor seating but I wouldn't sit outdoor until fall hits again while in this texas summer heat. Atmosphere: 4/5 small setting for group of friends. Food: 4/5 Price: 4.5/5 read more

I ordered the tteokbokki and the tofu pork kimchi stir fry. The tteokbokki was pretty good, but the pork stir fry had very little meat or kimchi in it and felt like it was 90% onion and tofu. I've gotten this dish at multiple places in carrollton and it's usually my favorite, but it was just alright here. The service was fairly quick, and the atmosphere was pretty fun. The food prices weren't terrible, but the alcohol was a little pricey (the Terra beer is $3 more expensive than a nearby expensive kbbq place which i thought was odd.) I would give it 4 stars if there weren't so many places nearby that serve the same food but better. read more

RUN RUN RUN RUN RUN! We came here before and it was super cold, we had requested to be seated away from an area that was not getting any heat from the warm lamp. So we had requested to move one table away which was away from the crack that let the freezing wind in. The workers don't know but I'm an honorary Korean. I knew exactly what they were saying . They were cursing us out in Korean not knowing we could understand them. Little do they know, I'm Yelp elite and you JUST MESSED WITH THE WRONG GUY PAL. Not only did the workers curse us out but they would obviously ignore us and give us snobby looks. I'm sad I used to love pocha 99. Now I just have 99 more reasons not to eat here Also food was okay lolz. The only good thing is the kimchi fried rice but ur not gonna get full read more

We came here with some friends and the food was delicious! As we walked in, we vibed out to some Doja cat and other great tunes! The smell of food and great energy were in the air! Couldn't wait to start eating! It took a little bit to get service, my partner had to go and order at the counter. Our server didn't come to the table after we were sat and the call button on our table didn't work. I was so hungry that I forgot to take picture of the food We got several dishes: the deep fried squid legs, the spicy seafood soup, the Korean seafood pancake, and the honey butter French fries! Everything was delicious! With definitely come back for the seafood soup and Korean seafood pancakes again! read more

I frequently visit this place for drinks with friends or meals. The food is exceptionally delicious, particularly their kimchi fried rice. You wouldn't expect cheese in rice, but it was incredibly tasty. The pork bulgogi was also delicious. I usually order the pork belly kimchi stew. If you're seeking an authentic Korean shop where you can dine, drink, and socialize with friends, this is the place to be. However, they may be understaffed, which results in slightly slow service. Despite this minor inconvenience, I highly recommend returning. read more

The food here is pretty good with ample selection of Korean bar favorites. The interior is a bit small with limited seating. I have been here on a few occasions and the service has been subpar. Once we came with a party of six and they had the liberty of seating us in the outside patio with the dumpster smells. The staff will not just ignore you, they will turn their attention to a different party if you are not Korean. Once had to wait almost an hour for a dish when I ordered two in total; It was never going to come, we left without receiving it. A separate time, someone from party told me they overheard the server cursing us out in Korean. now that's crazy.. read more

My friends and I like coming here for girls nights since the food is decently priced and yummy. We normally get a bunch of stuff and just share everything. Favorites on the menu are the cheesy buldak chicken, Odeng soup, grilled chicken gizzards, and the army ramen. Good bar eats and good times! Service is usually really attentive as well. read more

Love coming here for the delicious comfort (bar) food and drinks! It used to be $9.99 for pretty much all the food items on their menu but prices have increased to $12.99 now. Still not bad compared to some other bars nearby that charge more for similar foods. This spot is a chill place to come hang out with friends and has a very casual vibe. The round metal tables give it an authentic pocha feel as you gather around together to eat and drink. They have call buttons on the table so you can get the waiters' attention as you need to so don't expect them to come check on you unless you push the button. Some of my favorite dishes here are the grilled and fried chicken gizzards, army soup (budae jjigae), spicy rice cakes, seafood pancake, and the spicy chicken wings. Everything is pretty legit and tasty so it's best to order several things so you can try a little bit of everything. I personally would not order the watermelon or the peaches cuz why would you pay $12.99 for that anyway? You definitely need to wash down the food with some soju. I usually order the green grape or yogurt soju and mix it half and half with their regular Chamisul fresh bottle. So good and it'll definitely give a nice buzz! Overall, 99 Pocha is one of my favorite chill spots to hang out with friends while drinking and eating some yummy Korean bar food! read more

Nice spot for some drinking food and drinks. The atmosphere hectic as I've seen other "pochas" around the US but good if you want it a little more chill. Most of the food is $12.99. soju $14.99 but they have different types (chamisul, Hallesan, and flavored ones) Korean Beer selection is kind of weak. Only Terra Got the Kimchi Jjeon and Army soup. Both good enough to drink with. Overall nice in a sea of other Korean options just around it. And lots of IU ads. read more

99 Pocha is a lovely late night spot to come hang out with friends, espeically if you're out for a darker late night vibe or a casual hang out spot. With late hours, this restaurant is frequented by locals who got off work late or the occassional part goer. We got the kimchi jjigae, kimchi fried rice, and takoyaki, all of which came out fresh and steamy hot! I love the food here, it is consistently tasty and always hits the spot. The portions are rather generous in my opinions, with 12 takoyaki balls where most places serve half the portion and quite a bit of pork belly in the jjigae soup. The only thing I would dock from this place is the service. I know it can get busy, but servers walking by paid no mind to our empty water nor did they take up empty plates when putting down new plates. That won't stop me from returning though! read more

When I first walked into this restaurant, I was surprised at how small it was. Come to find out, there was a large outdoor seating area. It was a cute place though, it felt like I was in Korea eating their street food. One complaint I would have is that their service is a little slow. Each table had a bell/buzzer that we could ring to get the waiter's attention but even when we used it our waiter would not come. We would have to get their attention when they were close by. However, the food was pretty good and decently-priced (it has slightly increased from a year ago)! I particularly liked their pork bulgogi, which had amazing flavor. We also ordered the ra-bokki, squid dish, and a fried chicken dish. The first two had essentially the same sauce, so that's something to take note of if you want variety. Overall, pretty good place. read more

99 Pocha is a solid spot for late night Korean bar food and soju. Fun atmosphere, plenty of soju flavors, and bar food to go with it. One of the better spots in Carrollton to eat/drink the night away with friends. We tried their karaage, pork/squid bulgogi, kimchi fried rice, seafood pancakes, and almost every soju flavor available. The seafood pancake was definitely our favorite, but all the food was solid for the price. Our favorite soju flavors were yogurt and green grape. Overall, I'd come back here again whenever I'm in town. Visiting from Houston, Dallas is lucky to have so many fun Korean bar spots like 99 Pocha. Open up a location in Houston please! read more

Came back here for the first time in over 4 years. Owner and name has changed several times. Food was good again. Had the ttubboki with ramen. Good flavor, but they put less ttuk because of the ramen noodles. I would probably just get ttubboki next time. Would definitely order again. Their honey butter fries were sooooo good! Highly recommend. I liked how they were different kinds of fries (regular fries, waffle fries, curry fries). Very tasty and really enjoyed the fries way more than I should have. The odeng soup was good. A bit bland, but a small pinch of salt and it tasted fine. The least favorite was the half chicken. It was way too dry for our taste. Would not order again. Server was friendly and attentive. If you want Korean bar food, drop by and try this place. read more

99 Pocha is definitely a low-key hidden gem located in Carrollton(K-Town area) in the Manna Village at the end of the strip. The ambiance kind of reminds me of a smaller/more intimate Korean Style Pub. They have both indoor and outdoor covered seating with heating lamps! The food was absolutely delicious! A must get is the Kimchi Fried Rice! In my opinion, that was the star of the show! The Army Stew comes with a slice of american cheese on top, but we hid that under the food so it could melt into the ramen. The flavor profile of everything was definitely there! One thing i would definitely recommend is if you're questioning anything on the menu definitely ask them. We ordered the spam and egg fries without reading the description thinking fries would come with it, but I guess reading comprehension was not our strong suit lol Portion sizes are definitely in the smaller size and not as much as expected. Overall, if you were trying to find a different place to hangout and eat, I would definitely give 99 pocha a try! Definitely will be back in the future! read more

We just came in for drinks one afternoon and had a good time and great service. We didn't end up eating here, but will definitely do so the next time around as the food seems like good old fashioned Korean bar food and who doesn't like that? There IS something I've never even thought about mentioning in a review but feel like it's important for this place. And that is all of the chairs were terribly uncomfortable in this restaurant. Ha! Maybe I'm just old now but it was definitely something my boyfriend and I both noticed immediately. We were allowed to sit anywhere when we first entered and so we first sat down at the tables but quickly realized that those seats were uncomfortable. We then moved to the bar area. Those seats were even worst somehow. It was like a stool that said, "Congratulations, you are no longer standing!" but somehow made you sit weirdly straight in an uncomfortable way. At this point there was only one other seating option left at the tables beside the bar area and it was like your typical fold out chair at a church function, which would have honestly been better, but by this point, the beer tower was out, and so we decided to just stay put with the weird bar stools. Anyway, I don't think I've ever in my over 1,500 Yelp reviews mention my chair sitting experience at a restaurant, but here we are. read more

For the food and service, there's plenty of other better places to go in Carrollton. Went here on a late Friday night with a pretty large group. We got seated outside and since it was late it was pretty cold. They had told us the heat lamp next to us was broken. Before getting our food one of us had asked if it was possible to move to a table that was closer to a heat lamp. They were reluctant to have us push a table together but eventually agreed and we moved. However, one of my friends had translated to us that they were basically talking bad about us in Korean. Pretty much saying that we were annoying. She then proceeded to loudly push chairs around next to us even though we moved the tables ourselves after getting permission. Food was nothing special, I got the ra-bokki which was mediocre and not really anything special. Would not be back here, if you're looking for a similar spot just go to Ddong Ggo or any other place around the area for better food and service. read more

This is a great and really cute Korean bar! I stopped in here for a quick late night meal and absolutely loved it. The atmosphere is definitely like a small Korean bar in Seoul, and it was really kinda moody in a good way. The food and soju were excellent as well - they seemed to be missing a lot of ingredients (they basically didn't have anything I ordered the first time!), but what I did actually get was super tasty. This is definitely an ideal late night place that I'd highly recommend if you're craving good Korean food. read more

This is a fun spot across the street from the H-Mart. Went here on a Saturday night and sat out by the small patio (there were some smokers at some of the tables next to us but the smoke wasn't really noticeable). Almost everything on the menu is $10, which is a really good deal. We shared the seafood pancake, pork belly w bean sprouts, and the bulgogi hot-pot, and everything was really good! Along with the food we enjoyed a couple of $13 sojus. I liked the green grape and my wife thought the grapefruit was great. The music was straight K-Pop (eg BTS "Dynamite") which we thought went along great with the food and drink. And the service was friendly and extremely fast. We will definitely be back! read more

99 Pocha is a great Korean bar and it accurately depicts what a pocha would look like in Korea as well. We wanted to get drinks after a concert so we came here. There weren't any indoor seating, so we opted for outside (which was a huge mistake... due to the weather). We got a somaek tower and we also ordered some boodaejjigae. One good thing about here is that all the anjoo (food) is relatively cheap for a bar. Korean bar food is very expensive but the boodae jjigae was only $12.99. The portions aren't huge, but it still did the job. The weather definitely impacts my score here; however, I had a great time here and will definitely want to return once the weather cools down a bit. This place was pretty great! read more

Although this place did up their prices (as every other restaurant has had to do) it remains a great late-night place to visit for some yummy korean food.

99 Pocha - tteokbukki , fries - Korean Near Me - Carrollton, Texas

Love this place! The service isn't the best but the price is great for what you get so I guess you can't really complain since everything is $9.99 on the menu and the portions are pretty good. Everything tastes good but if you don't like food on the sweeter side then I recommend not getting marinated stuff like their marinated pork dishes, ddeukbokki etc. because they run on the sweeter side. I personally like the sweeter sauces to dip stuff in but just saying. My personal favorites were pork belly with bean sprouts and garlic, ddeukbokki (rice cake and fish cake in spicy), seafood pancake, roe gaeranmari (egg omelette with roe), mussel soup, and fried chicken gizzard. This place is awesome if you want to sit outside because they have a seating area outside. They also have a cute inside seating area where it feels kind of like an outdoor bar in Korea. They have a great music selection (modern Kpop) and the lighting inside is nice. Some places are too dark for me and I end up feeling sleepy after a couple of drinks so it was nice to have good lighting. I would definitely say this is one of my favorite spots for dinner/drinks and I will be regularly coming back! read more

Food was terrible & expensive! The ramen was under/over cooked, got home vomitting right after I could not take more than 2 bites.

Sunday August 18, 2024 between 9pm - 10pm. Two servers working, a male server and female server. I've had plenty of bad restaurant experiences before, but this experience is the icing on the cake. I recently had an extremely disappointing experience at this restaurant that I had previously enjoyed and frequented numerous times. Typically, when dining at pochas, the first thing served is water and a menu. The waitress only provided 2 water jugs that my large group finished quickly as they seated us outside in the hot Texas weather. However, during our visit, neither more water nor menus were provided to our large group. After waiting about 30-45 minutes, I had to go inside to request more water. While the waiter inside was kind and helpful, the waitress stopped him mid help and rudely handed me new water jugs slamming it down on the counter without a word. Our group, although large, was willing to work with the restaurant's limitations, but we were restricted to five small tables that couldn't accommodate all of us comfortably. The waitress became angry and yelled at us for moving tables and highly concerned about the bells that the tables come with. Despite our attempts to find a compromise. We even suggested ordering from one table or moving the tables back after our meal, but she refused to cooperate and was admittedly angry at everything we did or said. The service continued to decline as we faced resistance from the waitress regarding the patio fan. It's summer in Texas and the heat is no joke. When we asked for the fan to be turned on to circulate some cool air to us, she dismissively said, "It's a patio; it's going to be hot." It's not like the fans were broken and they couldn't turn it on. Adding to the frustration, we were aggressively asked if we were going to order before we had even settled in or received our water. When we inquired about ordering beer towers or highballs, we were told they couldn't accommodate us due to either dirty dishes or technology issues, which was surprising given our previous visits. Ultimately, the hostile attitude of the waitress created such a negative environment. She treated us as an inconvenience and burden that we decided to leave and move to another pocha down the street. When informing her politely of our decision, she responded with a dismissive "It's okay, y'all can leave." This experience was so disappointing that it has deterred us from returning ever again. If you're looking to go here just to be berated and be provided rude service; be my guest. However, I encourage other patrons to save your money and time by going to Pochakaya. the service there is impeccable- the boss and waiter helped us so much and made our experience fun and enjoyable. read more

I can't believe how affordable 99 pocha was in this economy. My favorite was the kimchi fried rice and the cheesy corn. The tteokbokki was a little too heavy for me but i think thats a personal problem LMAO. This place is definitely a good place to go with friends to drink and eat! read more

Came here to spend money, eat food, grab drinks with friends but all we got was disappointment . I'm not the type to write these reviews but this experience left such a bad taste in my mouth especially with a large group traveling into the DFW area. This place does not do well with big groups (def feel like it's been going downhill). I've been here before and service has been quite poor even with just 8-10 people. This time around, I admit our group of 35 was large but we did ask prior to coming in and they are the ones that sat us down, it seemed like they didn't want to serve us (and if that was the case we wouldn't have sat down and waited as long as we did for our server). We tried to be as accommodating and understanding due to the large group but the tone and attitude was not appreciated so we just left and the server said "it's ok, y'all can leave". My group and I went to Pochakaya Korean Pocha & Izakaya and dropped prob 3 bands ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ shout out to them! Go there instead, beer towers were great, service was great, food was amazing! Saved us time and energy fs!! Date: august 18 around 9:30pm read more

Came in late night with a group of 8. We were seated outside, and it was really cold and windy but the heat lamp next to our table wasn't working so we asked if we could switch tables to the one nearby with a working heat lamp. Keep in mind, the food wasn't here yet, and the outside seating was pretty empty, so there was absolutely no hassle in doing so, but they reluctantly let us switch, and after, I could hear the servers trash talking our group in korean, assuming that we couldn't understand them, but me and my one other Korean friend at the table were able to understand them. Service was bad to the point where my friend was scared to ask for more water or napkins because she didn't want to annoy the servers. Food was nothing special, I order Rabokki which is tteokbokki with ramen noodles added, and it was extremely mid. My friend order osam bulgogi which is spicy squid and pork stir fry, and it was absolutely disappointing. If you want some good osam bulgogi, check out "Maht gaek", a nearby Korean restaurant that has osam bulgogi that tastes absolutely amazing. Overall, a bad experience and there are so many better places to eat at late night. read more

7.5/10 on the food. Would be nice to have a walk thru of the plates offered. As a first timer atleast.

Won't come back here. Calamari was bland and it wasn't even hot (we were the only ones in the restaurant). Budae jjigae (army stew) was the best thing we got there and it wasn't even amazing. I give it 3/10. We asked for bossam (pork belly) but instead, she gave us jokbal (pork feet). We told her that we wanted the bossam and then our server told us that that was it. We even showed her a picture of bossam & she said it was the same thing... uh no. After she brought us ANOTHER plate of jokbal, she told us that they were out of bossam. Why couldn't she just tell us that from the beginning? Plus there was pork belly in my soup so I was really confused. Basically, her knowledge on the food they serve was very low & she overall seemed confused when we placed our order. Horrible service for us to be the only people (me and my friend) in the restaurant, it was so hard to get our servers attention. The only time she came to our table was when we called out to here. read more

Remember to check your bill before you pay or they will try to get money from you especially when you are drunk. Service is so bad. We ordered one dish and they tried to charge double. After that, we asked to double check on it in a polite way but they just cut it off and asserted that we ordered two dish and showed attitude toward us. Food is okay but overpriced as well. Second time? No! read more
