Good and convenient spot. Good service. Food was good but nothing special and I thought it was a bit overpriced. This was the only spot that night that didn't require my friend and I to wait so that was good! Casual eats. Recommend to go try though!
Nice and chilled spot to come for some good eats. Service was very friendly and the food was yummy. We had the fire cheese chicken and the egg rolls. Both were delicious. The vibe was quiet nice and seatings were pretty private. The music also was not overly loud. Will be back if in the area again!
Food : 5 had calamari and seafood pancakes. Good. Calamari sauce was really good . Gave side dishes: popcorn and watermelon. Service 5 good nice waitress Deco 5 nice ambiance. Good date spot. Overall good I'd come back for other dishes.
The pork trotters were decent, with enough meat for majority of pieces. The yakisoba was reminiscent of takoyaki with the bonito shavings, replete with vegetables but sparse with beef. The omurice was interesting, as the egg enveloped the rice.
Ordered spicy pork stir fry-very tasty. The spice level was perfect for me. Kimchi was good too-not sweet. The gentleman serving the restaurant was fun to watch. He's efficient and attentive. Great find for late food.
Came here for food and drinks. Ordered the spicy tteokbokki with seafood and fish cake & mussel tang hot pot. To be honest the food was decent, but nothing special. The service was good.
When I think of rockin' delivery these days, Hongdae will definitely be high on the list. It was one of the most memorable meals I've had in a while. I'd truly order everything again except the brisket and bean stir fry because it was mostly the bean sprouts. But my family and I really liked all the textures, and the spiciness was enough to be interesting without being overwhelming. The spicy pork skin and pork belly + octopus stir fry were standouts. They did a nice job with the okonomiyaki flavors and texture despite it having to be delivered in a tin. I look forward to trying more on the menu!
One of the coziest Korean spots in Murray Hill! I had an amazing time here and the food was great too. From the few times I have been here, there's a lady that recognizes me, and she is the sweetest human I've ever met. Always comes out and makes sure that I'm having a good time and that I'm eating.
I felt it was an off night. Judging by the reviews, my experience was definitely not as amazing. Fries were ok, bulgogi with bean sprouts were ok, budaejigae was ok, chicken wings were ok. Nothing was bad at all but it felt a little underwhelming. Nothing I couldn't make at home. Everything needs to be ramped up! Needs to be bar food worthy.
The food was very good and the service was fast. I enjoyed it very much. Everything tasted fresh
A good place to come and eat and chat with your friends. Friendly people, good food, chill atmosphere.
Came here late night around 12:00AM, was pretty dead. The service was quick. We ordered ramen and spicy chicken and some drinks. Basically paid $15 dollars for instant ramen but the chicken was good. Pricing is kinda over priced but food was decent. Bill for 2 came out to $116 after tax and tip. We ordered beer and sake and didn't end up opening one and they were nice enough to take one bottle back. Was okay for late night. 3.9/5.0 star experience Tip: only order 1 app and 1 entree for 2

Local Korean pub that's super casual and serving up fun bar menu eats. I was sad to see the neighboring business close and happened upon this place by accident. Hungry and wet from the rain, this was my quick back up option plus I'm always game to try new places. And so glad I ventured in. The menu offers typical K-comfort food and snacks like Korean fried chicken, seasoned french fries and kimchi soup. Hearty entrees like omurice and grilled pork belly which we enjoyed very much. The flavors of the pork belly with the scallions and onions were fantastic! Well seasoned and my only comment was I wish they didn't cut it up so small but it was easier to share. Side of corn cheese and we were surprised with K-dogs (fried corn dogs), so delicious. The staff was very welcoming and served us watermelon and popcorn to start, complimentary. I think I shocked them when I ordered a table full of food! (We were a party of 4 but very hungry and one picky person made me extra cautious to order her safe foods). Perfect local drinking spot and the snacks to match. This was also FIFA time when I dined so the game was featured on all the TV's. Fun K-pop music videos and music on another back monitor. Dimly lit and cozy. I'll totally return to try more stuff but believe me, we ate and ordered plenty!! read more

Surprisingly, a lot of restaurants started closing around 9pm so we came here because I was drawn to the large pots of stew and it was great because it was cold and rainy so it was the perfect food choice! Service was good, they were fast and nice The vibe was casual and a great place to come eat late night meals with friends since they open til 3am! I did think the music was a bit too loud for people to have conversations with people but i think that's the vibe of a pocha. The food was okay , not amazing & some of the dishes were pretty pricy for the quality. For example, the beef tartare was mostly pickled veggies, and was not spicy or sweet as the name suggests and had very little beef for the price and the seafood pancake was also mostly veggies but it was nice and crunchy! We were also given a plate of complimentary teokkbukki which was a nice touch! read more

I thought the food was subpar. Nothing to rave about. It wasn't outstandingly delicious, but wasn't horrible. There was only one server working and he had a few tables to manage. He brought out things for us as soon as we asked, but I think it would've been better if he had more help. We had the fried wings (both crispy and spicy). The spicy one was overly saucy. The Budejigae was ok. It wasn't bad but I think I could've done without it. Their okonomiyaki fries had flavor but nothing to go crazy for. I'd probably skip out here next time. read more

I came here instead of a different location to come drink and have some food with friends. It wasn't bad but also it wasn't spectacular. I will say I enjoyed the ambiance and their soju special until 10pm everyday! Food: 4 Decently good, the seafood pancake was crispy and filled. The chicken was crispy and juicy. Corn cheese was ok but definitely ask for extra cheese!! Service: 4 It felt like the food took a while to come out even thought we were only 1 of 3 parties. Other than that, it was good and they are bilingual (Korean/English) Ambiance: 5 On the darker side, but very clean. You can hear everything everyone else is saying at other tables read more
Had the best night here catching up with my friends. The restaurant's tables were nicely spaced out and had the best music playing in the background. Our waiter was also super attentive and friendly as well! All of the food we ordered was fantastic. Our favorite was the Nagasaki Crispy Rice Tang, seafood lovers this is for you! The broth was refreshing and soaked in all the flavor of the seafood. There was also a ton of seafood included in the soup. We also enjoyed the buldak spicy chicken and BBQ pork. My only wish was for it to have come out sizzling hot, but all good. :) Highly recommend to come out here for a nice meal and drinks with friends read more
Came here on a early Saturday night around six before the rush. No lines was great, separated indoor seating was even better! I have a soft spot for seafood pancakes... So if I see it on the menu... highly likely I order it. This particular seafood pancake was out of this world. Such perfect crispy outer layer and moist soft inner - filled with perfectly cooked seafood. Amazing dish with soju. They know they're doing it right. I can't eat too spicy so the spicy-but-not-too-spicy pork with chives was a good entree to balance my taste buds with the pancake. The waiter was nice as well. Recommend for a chill night out! read more
Always fun to check out the hot new place in town, while the crowd is still thin before Yelp notoriety hits. But it seems word of mouth had already gotten around, and the place was full and busy the entire night I was there. The bar restaurant is a faithful replica of the classic late night joints you can find all over Hongdae in Korea, and serves all your classic comfort foods like egg rolls, kimchi cheese fried rice and budae jiggae. If you're looking for something heavier, there's also grilled meat options. We ordered the BBQ pork belly which was tender and perfectly grilled with just the right amount of stir fry onion on the side. One of the highlights here is their soju happy hour, which extends late into the night until 10 PM and offers all bottles of soju for $7. I think I just found my new favorite Korean spot. Despite being a hidden gem right now, I'm sure it's going to be even busier next time I come by. read more
I'm on the fence about Hongdae Pocha because the food is good but the cleanliness of the restaurant can definitely be worked on. The kitchen is in the middle of the restaurant to pass through to outdoor seating. You literally have to walk through the kitchen where they are cooking. The other customers were smoking in the enclosed shed. The chicken was premade and left outside the bathroom. If you only looked at the food on the table, it would be a decent restaurant but the atmosphere is what it is. The corn cheese was great, the right amount of sweet and savory. The portion sizes were big and the restaurant was fitting for my group of six. read more

Korean comfort food is one my favorites aspects of Korean food. I stopped by for a quick afternoon snack and the cheese egg roll was so yummy. It's a rolled egg with veggies and a generous amount of mozzarella on top whats not to love. It was giving me an egg drop sandwich moment without the bread. I saw there was some kbbq and soju combo on the menu for dinner so I really want to comeback and try that out! read more
I stopped by here because I was craving a quick snack and really glad I came by this spot. I ordered an appetizer and entree and enjoyed both. Although I did not really know what to expect from the cheese egg roll, I was shockingly impressed by it. It was super flavorful and the generous amount of sauces on top helped it just melt in my mouth. This is definitely a must try if you come here because I have never tried anything like it elsewhere. The squid karage was decent and was nothing too out of the ordinary. They gave us free sides which was a salad and popcorn, I have to admit the salad was super refreshing and delicious! Lastly, the service here was amazing and the server was very attentive. I definitely would come back here with some friends! read more
intimate korean bar in flushing. it was super packed when we visited but it was because we came after a festival ended. we did have to wait but there was only one waitress i believe. the corn cheese was so yummy and the scallions that came with the pork belly was so flavorful. they were so kind to us even though it was close to closing. they have kpop music playing in the background. one of my favorite meals and i would stop by if i was ever traveling to new york again! read more

The korean omelette with cod roe aka was excellent! The best k pub egg omelette EVER! All other dishes was on point. Service was fine. read more
This was a nice place to chill with a friend to eat and drink. Before 10pm, soju are $6-7 literally half price of what the menu says and they have yogurt soju here!! Which is not easily found else where. Their omurice (egg omelette wrapped with beef fried rice) was realllly good esp if you order some other meat dish to accompany it. I also really liked their okinomiyaki. It was amazing but wish they help us cut it up into slices which don't think they did. However the staff was really nice and friendly. I will be back! read more

Decided to try this place on a whim after seeing it's new to the area, and it's so good! The budae chigae is bomb, the soup is awesome and it's full of good meats and veggies (and of course kimchi). We also had the octopus and pork belly stir fry, amazing! And the chicken karage salad was great too. It actually isn't too much to say this place felt like a piece of Hongdae. And it's a real family shop, run by a mom and dad and their son. It's great, you won't be disappointed. read more

My new go-to spot! Love this vibes, servers, music, and the food! The food is actually incredible and the servers to anything to appeal to their customers. I ordered chicken feet and it's really common to eat rice balls with them, and even tho it wasn't on the menu, they were able to make it for me!!! Will be coming more often^^ read more

Wonderful place that has outdoor seating. I havent had any korean food for 6 months. This place definitely feeds the need if you are hankering for basic korean food. I had the fish cake and mussel soup which was sweet yet light seafood taste. The pork belly was nice and fatty as it should be. I would definitely return. read more

It was unplanned visit this place like "Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations" Recently I and my GF are trying to quit drink so we were not thinking coming place that serves with drinks like in Korea near college bar. Surprisingly their food were good without drink. Of course portion was less than regular Restaurent but compare to bar's food were generous. read more
