08/30/3025 WOW!!! This place has gone down hill with the quality of their food since they first opened. We have been coming here for years and its very sad as we were big fans of this place . Last nite we had the worst meal ever from here . Especially since we used to LOVE their Spicy Wings . We had : *Spicy Wings - Terrible way undercooked *Waffle Rice - Not a good flavor combination *Spicy Pork Belly - tasted like spoiled meat , we almost got sick, it's a good thing we didn't eat it all. We will not be back.

Doshirak - increased in price, but the portion is the same and it's still just as tasty

Wow, what a drop off. Gabose Pocha used to be one of my favorite food spots in South Florida, but something has changed for the worse since their remodel. I stopped by last week after not having been since before their renovations, and not only is the place totally different inside (not necessarily in a bad way, just not as cozy and authentic-feeling), but the prices on the menu have gone up slightly and the portion sizes have gone down pretty significantly. The portions for the Doshirak and Corn Cheese were about the same as they were previously, but the Cream Tteokbokki and Spicy Pork Belly were ridiculous. The pan of pork belly looked like it had been half eaten when it reached my table! You can see the before and after in my pictures. The food at this place is excellent - like, seriously good. However, I can no longer justify driving 45 minutes to pay more for less food. One shout-out I will give is for the waitress the day I went. Despite sporting a boot from an ankle injury or surgery and being the only waitress in the place, she was very attentive and made sure my table had everything we needed.

Soju 소주 -Pineapple Flavor

The ambiance made me feel like I was actually in South Korea from the music to the decor, I loved my experience here. My friends and I had a few apps and drinks while we waited for our table at their sister location next door. We tried some of their Soju 소주, Jumuk Bab 주먹밥, and Gamja 감자. My favorite was the Gamja Fries they were so おいしい tasty!

Side dishes

The food was phenomenal. All of the side dishes were spectacular, the appetizer of fresh oyster was amazing. The service was amazing, the server check up multiple times to ensure that was amazing. The ambiance, is a nice and chilling environment. Great and amazing place to have Korean food!

Delicious food, great ambiance, top tier service. Bulgogi rice - 8/10. Delicious! The pieces of beef in the rice were very tender. The rice was flavorful. The cheese added an interesting layer to it. I asked for light cheese but ended up picking off most of it off. But overall it was really good. Goon Mandu - dumplings - 7/10 these were not the texture I expected. It tasted a lil breaded. But the gravy on top was thick and a little sweet Wings 6/10 - I'm not sure what the sauce was but I wasn't a huge fan. It was sweet and savory but the sweetness was definitely a sauce I had before but still tasted a little off on the wings. The wings were fried to perfection though. I would definitely come back!

Karaoke and Korean food/drinks? What better plans for a Friday night than this! Finally popped my Gabose Pocha cherry after hearing about it so many times! Contrary to what I originally thought, Gabose Pocha is separate from Gabose Korean BBQ... although they are in the same plaza. If you're looking for a good meal with quality KBBQ meats, opt for Gabose BBQ. But if you're looking for some casual bites, drinks, and a fun time- head over to Gabose Pocha! We ended up eating at Gabose BBQ and got drinks at Pocha after. We had a large group of 7 but were able to share the long table in the center with another large group. If you stay further into the night, they start their karaoke sessions which I definitely recommend! We ordered a round of drinks and some bites including their bulgogi ramen nachos- a must! This consists of the fried ramen topped with marinated rib eye, pico de gallo and sriracha! Of course, we also got a round of sake bombs.. or were they soju bombs? Whatever it was, they were the liquid courage some folks needed to take the mic for karaoke. The ambiance is chill although it can get a bit rowdy when the singing starts. A great spot for a night out with friends! I'm planning on coming back for that watermelon soju punch bowl... that comes in an actual watermelon!

Went here for dinner with friends of 5 and the food was great. Server was a little rude to us probably cause she knew she could add the 18% gratuity to our check but so kind to the table of 4 next to us. Food was still delicious. It takes a while for each entree or app to be made but they probably make it per order

Mojito

Geonbae! That's how you say Cheers in Korean, and I want to start with a huge shoutout to my friend Cecilia for getting me to expand my palate beyond burgers and chicken parm. Granted, she did help to find "safe" plates for me:) We stopped by this past Saturday for a dinner, drinks & a night out. The ambiance is dim lights but not in a dressy sort of way, with KPop and Korean EDM in the background. Cool art too! Now in times of Rona, our temperatures were taken coming in & we had to sanitize our hands. Staff was masked, and we had to remask even just walking to the bathroom. As usual, I tried to start with their Sesame Leaf mojito, while she ordered their strawberry basil shrub. Our tastes in alcohol vary slightly so I ended up with this before switching to Hite beer (wheaten and an overall smooth sip). My mojito was more like drinking a salad so I'll pass on that. Foodwise, my favorites were the chicken wings with a yummy, sticky sweet & spicy Pocha sauce. The flavor combination was perfect and the wings were pretty meaty. The pork belly, with a similar sauce but slightly more heat was another close favorite. Ramen nachos were decent, like but not love the dry noodles. Tater tots were also yummy.

The restaurant setting is cozy and the charcoal grills are in the back, you barely smell any smoke inside at all! Kudos to their ventilation system! I usually sit in the regular seating and i always order the daeji tofujigae, comes out perfect everytime! Their appetizers like the seafood pancake and the gool jun are amazing and worth a try as well. Love this place and its one of my favs in south florida!

Everyone enjoyed the seafood pancakes, Hemul Panjun. The black bean noodles, Jajanmyun, got mixed reviews from our party of six. Personally, I liked them but didn't love them. It was my first time trying this dish. The noodles themselves I enjoyed a lot -- kinda slippery, nice chew. The black bean sauce was very umami and I could easily see this being a comfort food to some. The stars here were really the grilled meats, and this place is unique in that they have charcoal grills. We ordered two of the marinated Kalbi, short ribs, because everyone loved it so much. The marinated chicken was good but would probably skip it next time for more Kalbi. The bulgogi was delicious and would definitely get that again. All of the bonchon, little side dishes, were great too! As far as the vibe, I'd say it's pretty casual and family-friendly. The only thing I find a little scary is when they bring out the hot charcoals to the table. That thing is hot and heavy and has to be brought to the table with extreme care. Sorry no pics! Was carried away eating!

Trevor was the best!! The food and drinks were delicious, and we can't wait to come back for more!read more

My husband first brought me here for my birthday last year san kids. Loved every bit of it! The…read moregreat part is that they have a fan that will suck all the smoke underneath, so you barely smell like bbq after. Of course, the true spotlight is on the food. Because it was my birthday, we opted for the premium menu. Honestly, we tried a variety of meats and although they were all good, when we go back, I'd probably just order the galbi. We did come back months later and this time, for my husband's birthday lunch after we played golf. His brother and dad were also with us and we tried their AYCE Korean fried chicken. AYCE for $15.99, but the catch is you have to order a drink. So, basically, more like $20. Chicken was good and we tried different flavors: soy garlic, spicy, cheese, honey (powder), and plain. The honey was my favorite, but to each their own! We tried to eat as much as we could to get our money's worth, but in the end--in my opinion--it's worth just getting it as an order, which is practically the same price and no requirement to order a drink. Overall, I would go back for kbbq... we have a good amount of kbbq spots in the county and of all the ones we've gone to, Hallyu is part of my top 3. Best tip we can give you: order the honey fries!
