Really delicious Korean BBQ!!! We loved the charcoal grill, which provided a wonderful smokey flavor to the meat! We enjoyed marinated galbi and pork belly. The banchan were fantastic with a wide variety of flavors. We also enjoyed a rice dish at Gabose next door, while we waited for our bbq table to be ready. You can buy a drink and food next door, and bring it over to the kbbq place. read more

Gabose Pocha - Korean Near Me - Lauderhill, Florida

Okay Gabose Pocha, you really need to update your Yelp and website information to reflect that you are temporarily closed. It was extremely frustrating making plans, checking your website beforehand to verify your hours, seeing an "Open" sign outside, getting out of the car, walking around, and then being told the restaurant was closed for renovations. I even looked inside and saw what appeared to be people sitting at the counter, so the situation was honestly confusing. At that point I wasn't even sure if I was misunderstanding something or imagining it. Either way, it was very upsetting and inconvenient. By 9 PM, thanks to Yelp, I managed to find another place nearby for drinks, but unfortunately their kitchen had already closed. Please update your hours and clearly indicate that the business is temporarily closed so other customers don't go through the same experience. read more

Kind of pointless as they are closing in a week, but I sadly can see why. I appreciate the attempt to renovate but in that renovation, they lost all character that this great place used to have. The food was still good, but the portions seemed way smaller than before. I came here years ago a few times and we always had a GREAT time. I will miss what it used to be. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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! read more

We only came here because the wait was too long at Gabose. They have a ton of funky street food inspired dishes. Some are better than others. We were also surprised that they considered our party it 5 a "large" party, which included an automatic 20% tip. My bad for not catching that. It was a bit loud for our taste, but folks seem to like it ok read more

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.

We went to Gabose BBQ restaurant on a Saturday at 7 PM, and they had a one hour wait time. They gave us the option of waiting at Gabose Pocha (bar) while we waited. The staff were friendly and accommodating. We had three create your own cocktails ($13), Oksusu Fries ($9, corn with some spice), Goon Mandu ($10) and a Coke ($3.95). The place has a very Korean/Anime feel to it. The drinks were tasty. It is a clever idea to have people wait here. read more

The food was great! We had the corn fries, which were absolutely delicious, a little on the pricier side for the amount, but overall really good. We also tried their bulgogi cheese rice and the karage chicken. The chicken was fantastic! It was a nice vibe overall! And the serves were very attentive. I would definitely come back and also recommend. read more

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! read more

I am in shock, I've been going to this restaurant for over 7 years. I recently went again and it has been completely renovated. It has lost all the soul it had previously. I think they got a new owner because it has completely changed. If you know you know. The food was okay and not like I remember and the menu has changed also. Very sad to see how this local restaurant has gone down. read more

Initially we were trying to go to Gabose but with the wait headed over to Pocha which seemed like the right decision. There was no wait there which was great so we sat down and decided to eat there. The tables were low and not very comfortable. We wanted the bbq experience so we ordered that but it wasn't the same as you would have gotten at their other location. The food was still good and the manager was great with recommending drinks and helping us out. read more

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! read more

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.

Gabose Pocha - Hodduk with Ice Cream - Korean Near Me - Lauderhill, Florida

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. read more

So much fun! Vibes and all! They have sooo many bites from chicken to cheesy corn to squid. All the street food items were so delish. They also have karaoke which is awesome and the server was super nice. Great dynamic and great atmosphere. Everything was clean and super fun. I really enjoyed their drinks and we just made it in time for happy hour! I love how welcoming everyone was and it was a great experience. read more

A couple friends introduced me to this place, and I love it! I'm down in Miami, but when visiting Broward I'll stop by. I've had the chicken wings (so good, extra crispy and the sauce is perfect), spam butter rice (excellent), and the pork ramen. I honestly loved each entree the two times I've been, so I'll come back with more friends. I've had the apple and mango soju, which I was surprised by. I definitely need to try more flavors next time I go! read more

The little brother of Gabose Korean BBQ, Gabose Pocha brings the Korean street food experience to you in a cozy environment. When I had been there previously, the only alcohol offered was soju and wine, but now there is a fully stocked bar, with local beers on tap. As it had been a long week, I decided to go with a bottle of the New Apple Mango soju to start off the night and perused the menu for something filling to eat. Turns out I was very much in luck, because in addition to their small plates/street food, they also had air fried short ribs. I substituted the white rice that it comes with for ramen noodles, but kept the pickled vegetables that it comes with. The food turned out to be quite a large portion, which worked out well as I was pretty hungry. There was hip hop on the sound system and the servers/bartenders would bust out into karaoke every so often. I believe there's a set night that they usually do karaoke, but I'm not sure when it is. Be warned, it does get a little loud sometimes. I will definitely be back more often as this is extremely close to where I live and I had a great time. Hope to see you there soon. read more

Unassuming space, next to main restaurant. Avoided Korean food because I thought it was too spicy for me. But I enjoyed my meal which could be ordered medium spice. One server handled food and drinks orders and apparently one cook in the kitchen. Everything went smoothly, and I will return. read more

Sooooo this review has been long overdue. Every time I've come here they've been sold out on most of their big menu items. Regardless, I've been here a few times enough to write a review that's legit. I came here two weekends ago, and me and my cousin were first in line at the door, and there was a couple behind us and somehow they were attended to and seated before us. They were also served their drinks and food before us. That kind of left a bad taste in my mouth. I get that it's a small place, and it's dark and loud, but I feel like the service here has always been so excruciating slow. Too bad because I love places like this...hole in the wall gems and I am Korean too! Maybe I'll give it another try on a less busier day. It's just the fact that every time I've been here I've left less than satisfied and kind of annoyed. read more

I was very grateful that I got to try this place right before they closed for renovations. Don't worry, they'll be reopening in a few weeks! The food was DELICIOUS. We tried the bulgogi ramen nachos, creamy tteokbokki, chicken shake, corn cheese, and goon mandu. Karaoke was a blast- just pick a song from the book and add your name and song choice to the list. There's a connected little shop with really nice Korean skincare and makeup. The owner is super sweet and knowledgeable. I will be coming back once they reopen! read more

I've been going to Gabose for a long time and enjoyed Pocha when it first opened. Last time I went there, one of the waitresses was too busy talking to her significant other on the job to attend to any of the guests. Fortunately her other coworkers were running around trying to take peoples orders and deliver food. It blows my mind how this place can employ someone so useless, it brings the quality of customer service down. read more

Have been coming here for years and it only gets better and better each time! From the outside it doesn't look like much, but when you walk in it's decorated nicely and the music is top tier! Cherry Blossoms hang from the ceiling over a bench seating area (for large parties only) and the signature steel tables with cushioned stools remind me of South Korean restaurants entirely. As an appetizer, I ordered the Spicy Tteokbokki w/o fish cakes and for drinks the Pocha Peach Tea and Milkis for my friend. The Tteokbokki was amazing and the rice cakes were nice and chewy, definitely not the frozen stuff, although I found the sauce to be a little too soupy unlike how I usually order it at other restaurants. I found the Pocha Peach Tea to be good but it definitely tasted like tea with no alcohol. I prefer more of a punch, soju has a "sneaky" way of getting you tipsy though, so beware. I also ordered the Strawberry Basil Shrub that was definitely stronger and more of an acquired taste due to the vinegar but not bad for my first try. Following that, we ordered the Padak which was an amazing option recommended by staff and the Pork Ramen. The Padak had light and crispy chicken bites tossed in a light sweet soy sauce and with the green onion salad on top, the flavor and crunch meshed together beautifully. Definitely fireworks when you're tips! The Pork Ramen came in a cute military container and had a flavorful broth with sides of kimchi and pickled radish that enhanced the soup. Overall, the experience is always a 10/10 and I can't believe I'm just now writing this review! read more

Good vibes only!! Came here to chill after eating dinner and it was the best idea ever. This place looks small but it has a really big heart. Their employees are such a vibe. So nice and down to Earth. They turned on karaoke for us and even joined a long with us. Everyone who was there got involved and it was a great experience. Really really talented staff lol. They should be on American idol. I witnessed them get a score of 99 which topped our 96 ... LOL. But aside from that the food is good for sharing. We got plenty of apps & entrees. Soy garlic fries, bugolgi nachos, kimchi fried rice, soy garlic wings, squid, stew, lemon pepper popcorn chicken.. and the list goes on. We also got the watermelon soju but a little disappointed they didn't put it in an actual watermelon like we seen in pictures but it's ok because it still tasted good! They also gifted my cousin a lychee soju bottle for his birthday. That was sooooo good. 10/10 would recommend read more

2 stars for the food 2 stars for service 5 stars COVID precautions Disclaimer: I'm Californian so I'm used to really high quality Korean food. Also haven't tried any other Korean food in Florida so maybe this place is good by Floridian standards? This was the worst $50 I've ever spent. The tater tots were soggy as hell, couldn't eat them with chopsticks. They weren't seasoned aside from the unnecessary amount of toppings, so it was either soggy and tasted like kimchi or crunchy and tasted like... unseasoned potatoes. The grilled squid was so basic. It also wasn't cleaned properly so some of the guts were still hanging onto the rings of the body. No seasoning, just 3 sauces that were also underwhelming. The legs were also dried out from the grill, the sharp corners hurt my gums. The tofu shiitake was beautiful and I was SO excited when it came out, but I was disappointed again. It's just a chunk of tofu with shiitake and the whole thing tasted the same throughout. I have to admit though, it was fried perfectly, props to the chef for technique. The mussel soup was good! Only thing I'd order again, but still not worth coming back here for. The jalapeños in the soup were old. I could tell because the seeds were shriveled and there was no spice. Service was weird. The waitress expected us to move the dishes that were already there to make room for new dishes while we were in the middle of eating. She could've just walked to the other side of our huge circular table and put it down where there was plenty of room. She also didn't notice us asking for the check 3 times. We finally got her attention because she was delivering a dish to the table next to us. Took forever to take my card too, I got up and paid myself at the register because I wanted dessert from Ppang across the street since this place clearly isn't reliable. Only reason they're getting 3 stars instead of 2 is their COVID precautions. They check your temperature at the door and the waitress wore gloves. read more

Listen mannnnnnnn I have stumbled upon some crazy places in my life, but NO PLACE is as CRAZY as here. And I mean crazy in a good way... forget that, an INSANELY AMAZING way. Can we start off by saying that this is Korean Pub Food? I mean if that doesn't scream "Broooooo" then what does? The curry dumplings and Don Curry Katsu was beautiful, along with the Crispy Squid was first of all OFF THE CHARTS insane. Oh and although I couldn't taste anything other than beef, the Pocha burger which is one part beef and one part Octopus is literally the best tasting burger patty I've ever had and then you paired it with the toppings it comes with... it's nothing short of a damn miracle. Oh, and the Ramen Noodle Nachos.... ohhhhhhhhh man oh man, that and the Pocha Burger is a MUST GET.... Don't forget the wings, but I do the original as I heard the spicy can melt your face off. Listen, do whatever it takes to come here. That's my word. Charles Mr. Brofresh on YouTube: youtube.com/brofresh (food channel) read more

Great spot for really good food. Nice staff and quick service. A go to spot for my friends and I. I'm a big fan of the Bulgogi and a watermelon soju. It's a pretty good size to share with a small group. The atmosphere is very relaxed and it's always a good time to watch or join in on the karaoke! Bare in mind that the restaurant is split into two locations. The main restaurant, which is more of a traditional sit down restaurant, and the bar area behind the main restaurant. read more

Gabose Pocha - Jelly drink - Korean Near Me - Lauderhill, Florida

This was one of my best finds ever !! I happened to be in this neighborhood Pre- Covid which is a bit out of my way and wanted some late night grub. I used my handy Yelp app and found this place tht was open till 2am. I am always looking for good Korean food so this fit the bill. I really loved the funky almost opium den ambience, it reminded me of this really cool underground restaurant in Toronto that I went to a few years back. This place visually appeals to the late night bar crowd even though they don't have a full bar. Beer & wine only which includes they're signature Soju mocktails. The first time I visited with my friend I was in utter awe of the creative menu that complicated fired off all of the synapses in my foodie brain. I mean they have my favorite foods combined! Ramen Nachos and Kimchi Tater tots!!! How could you not want to eat this stuff? I honestly have never been so excited to eat Tater tots lol. The food was delicious but I was limited as to what I could order cause my friend doesn't like spicy/ hot food and this place is more of a sharing plates kind of restaurant. After that initial visit I knew that I would have to find my way back and try different items. So they next time I went I took a different friend. We both took the long drive from Miami, but I assured him that it was worth it. He is a picky eater, but likes meat & spicy....so finally, I got to order the Spicy Pork Belly & the chicken wings. All I can say is that after that first bite of pork, I finally realized why people believe in God! I literally heard angels sing all in chorus. My eyes rolled to the back of my head and I knew that this place would be permanently on my Fave restaurants of all time. The meat is fatty, sweet and savory. The flavors are complex and it's obvious that getting to this level of perfection took many years of practice and many steps of cooking. I'd be interested to know the process to making these cause I'm sure it probably takes 2-3 types of cooking to get these to have that depth of flavor and tenderness. The wings were as equally as delicious. They had a little sweetness to them. Super meaty with a slight crunch without breading. Literally fantastic. My friend was just as happy as I was despite his initial hesitation to try such exotic foods. Obviously this place is absolutely spectacular and you should 100000% make a trip here. read more

Gabose Pocha - people sitting at tables in a restaurant - Korean Near Me - Lauderhill, Florida

One of my buddies brought me here once before, therefore had to bring someone else in return! So many great options. We had izzaban the night before and was second guessing similar items because we wanted something different. A great example was we wanted an appetizer. The server recommended the Spicy Pork Belly, we were reluctant because we had just had it. But she was so nice and insisted so of course we accepted! Plus she said it wasn't too much of a kick and we didn't believe her. Lol To much of our surprise this was probably the BEST dish! The pork, onions and green onions were sauteed to perfection. Each with a perfect blend of sauce andddd the texture of the onions not too overdone but still that almost crisp bite into it. We nearly finished the entire player before our entrees came out. Loved the kicked it had. Next the Bulgogi Ramen Nachos. Didnt know what to expect. I thought we would just eat ramen with the Bulgogi and cheese on top. But it was cleverly crafted where the ramen peeled away from the other ramen almost as a big chip as the cheese oozes away from the plate. The heat from the sauce/toppings/meat made the texture a little softer similar or my best comparison would be to an egg nest noodle. This was an excellent well crafted dish and was amazing! Of course the last was the reason why I came. Looks to be a Low carb plate of Buldak Cheese. (Majority meat and cheese) Loved it. The combination of chicken, cheese and that spicy sauce. Soooo much going on in my mouth didn't even know how I swallowed. Over many bites I was sweating the heat was definitely there. But not sure if it was from all the dishes combined but I loved it! Love how the cheese complimented the sauce and in many cases cancels out the heat. But once the cheese ran out it was fuegoooo. Will be back next time I'm in town! read more

I sat in this restaurant and forgot where I was. It felt as if I was no longer in Florida, honestly who would think a place like this is on inverrary blvd and university dr. This restaurant sits behind its father restaurant Gabose Korean BBQ Restaurant and I enjoyed my visit. We walked in and it had two dining areas a dark and a light. We chose the dim lit, darker seating side with metal tables and chairs and a huge farmers table in the middle for large groups. The decor was so cute, the hanging plants and terrariums gave me reception vibes but it was cool. The waitress and owner greeted us and told us that since it was our first time dining here we should check out Yelp for pictures of the food as the menu had explanations but the pictures would be a great visual. Of course, I had already done that so I knew what I wanted to taste and try. Definitely try the Pig Ear Sam, cripsy pig ears, sweet chili sauce (YUMMM) with julienne vegetables in a lettuce cup - WATCH OUT for the sliced jalapenos on top!! Ramen Nachos are good, a wholeeeee lot of cheese, bulgogi, and crunchy ramen. The Spicy Korean Ribs are yummy too, not as spicy as you think but great flavor. To drink try one of their housemade Sojus, a vodka infusion, I had the apple flavor which was server in a beaker and made to drink sake style in small glasses. If you're not into vodka try the Sparkling Jelly Sake, interesting drink with bit of bubbly lol. The highlight of the evening was the KARAOKE, who knew, lol. Every table is given the opportunity to sing 3 songs from the book and the system scores each song based on how well you keep the tune and know the lyrics. IT WAS SO MUCH FUN!! My husband and I were timid at first but what the heck, we got the mic and sang Backstreet Boys - As long as you love me and had the whole room singing. Every table was engaged and the mics had auto-tune so don't worry, you sound good no matter what lol. I will definitely be back with more people and to try out more dishes. Kudos to the owner for constantly checking in on all tables, her great humor and such a cool restaurant. I love a place that makes you forget where you are. Love it! read more

Gabose Pocha - boo dee jigae - Korean Near Me - Lauderhill, Florida

We absolutely love Gabose, the mama to Pocha, and have been wanting to go to Pocha for a while. I'm glad we did! Like Gabose, the service is amazing. The ambience is fun (even though we were probably the oldest ones in there by decades!). The food is really good, with some dishes surpassing others in flavor. In the fantastic category: spicy Korean ribs, spicy edamame. In the good category: grilled squid, fish balls. Oh, and the soju - I'm a believer! I'm not into sweet drinks so Adam, our bartender, recommended the fresh soju rather than the fruity ones. He was spot on and the more I drank it, the more I liked it (scary how that works!). It's like a smoother sake. Anyway, I'm glad we went and we'll definitely return. Check it out! read more

They still have every other table closed which is a nice benefit to frequenting this establishment. read more

Honestly, I hate giving bad reviews but it's also helpful that the business owner gets HONEST feedback about their customer's food, service and experience etc. SATURDAY NIGHT FOOD & DRINKS 0/5 Kimchi Pancake Overcooked, dry and salty beyond hell. Even more salty with the soy sauce they provided. 1/5 Korean Fried Chicken Theres a lot of meat, which was great but the breading was as crispy as glass. It felt like a burden on my teeth on each bite. The Special Pocha sauce was amazing. It's just too bad it covered glass fried chicken. Would've been a 0/5 if it wasn't for the sauce. 3/5 Pocha Colada Delicious. Lacks alcohol but the flavor of the milk soda and soju was delightful. SERVICE: No complaints, the waitress was attentive. EXPERIENCE: I've been to South Korea twice. It definitely looked like a nice little local Korean spot but it didn't FEEL like a Korean spot. The music and sound system was severely lackluster for a Saturday night. Ambience non-existent. RECOMMEND? Hard No. As of right now I would never recommend this location to a friend. However, I will absolutely recommend the Gabose Restaurant 50 feet away. Korean BBQ is delicious there although they should play more Korean music there (not TOP 40 US radio). read more
