Love this place! The food is amazing, the service is great and the music is always jumping! I will say that I do prefer the Long Point location rather than the Chinatown one. The ambiance is a bit different between these two locations. Long point location is smaller but the tables are more closed off/private. Chinatown is very open and has a live dj after 10pm! read more

One Shot Pocha - Classic Lunch Box, Corn Cheese, Wings - Korean Near Me - Houston, Texas

First of all the parking is horrendous over here. I was driving around for a while to find parking.once you walk in you're greeted right away and they have a bar, claw machines, and tables for eating. The karaoke rooms were clean, cute, and nice. It had tambourines in there to play with as well. The rooms are a bit smaller maybe 4 people would be comfortable in there. I do believe they do have a bigger room as well. it is recommended to book a reservation ahead of time. It I've a bit loud in the I could hear the next room singing. I didn't like the karaoke set up. It's literally your own YouTube WITH ADS if you don't have YouTube premium. I could do this at home to be honest. I kind of expected a whole karaoke machine with the book to select a song but that was not it. The only reason you would come here is for food and not even the drinks. They do charge by the hour and if it's only 15 mins over you get charged for another hour. The drinks soju didn't do much but it was tasty. I tried the watermelon soju and it was a giant shareable slushie of soju. That slushie a spicy sweet wings I had was not a good pairing. I got a stomachache afterwards. The spicy sweet wings seemed boneless at first because they're such a huge piece but there was a small bone inside it(I didn't order boneless). They do give you a couple of side dishes like a mac and cheese coleslaw type thing and radish. The kimchi fries just seemed like a bunch of frozen fries heated up all thrown together with the kimchi toppings. I also got the cheese corn fondue that wasn't bad. It was nice and cheesy as expected. They also have ice cream for dessert. read more

The Korean wings with the sweet and spicy sauce were hands down the best wings I've ever had in my life. Not just the best Korean wings, the best wings ever, period. They were huge and super crispy. The sauce had the exact right balance of sweet and spicy, and the flavor was insane. Every bite was crunchy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and packed with flavor. I genuinely wish they weren't so expensive because I would come here all the time just for those wings and the soup. The soup with rice noodles (I think it was the Buckwheat soba) was also a 10 out of 10. It was warm, rich, and extremely flavorful. The soup was thick in the best way and the rice noodles soaked it up perfectly. It would for sure be my comfort food, it's one of those dishes that just hits exactly right when you're hungry. The ambiance is really nice. The private karaoke room felt cozy with colorful lights reflecting off the walls. It had that fun vibe that makes karaoke more enjoyable. The main area is modern and lively, with bright pink and purple lighting, glass refrigerators stocked with drinks, and decorative touches that make it feel energetic but still clean and organized. Service was fast and attentive. Everything came out quickly, and the staff made the experience smooth and enjoyable. read more

My friend hosted her 30th birthday (part 1) here at One Shot Pocha and we had a great time. We had around 15-20 people so we reserved a larger room (ended up in room 9) which is way in the back. The front area is so cute, I love how there's almost cubicle spaces for privacy in the main dining areas. The soju bottles are so cute as decor and the bar area is really nice. The staff was very friendly and managed our large party (and many many food and drink orders) exceptionally well. Alll the food was amazing; please note that some of the food is pre-made so if you have dietary concerns, you should communicate early and often about any ingredients in any of the dishes. The karaoke part was also super fun! It was my first time so I didn't know what to expect but we had a blast. Would highly recommend coming here for karaoke, food and drinks or just a cute fun night out! read more

Came here to karaoke for our Friendsgiving. We've heard a lot of great things so we were excited to finally check it out. We booked a room for eight people, and since it was a Friday night, the whole place was packed and super lively. There's tons of K-pop decor and fun lighting, so even if you weren't in the mood to party before walking in, you definitely will be once you're inside. The room we got was just the right size for 8 people and all our drinks and food - the music was bumpin and the disco light definitely added to the fun mood. Ordering food and drinks was easy with the push-button service, and the staff were always prompt and friendly. Everything we had -- chicken wings, tteokbokki, galbi, and even the banchan -- was delicious. It was so good we joked that we'd come back just to eat. The only con was that the room got a bit warm with eight people. Even with the fan, I started sweating... although I'm sure the soju and overly animated singing didn't help. read more

One Shot Pocha - Korean Near Me - Houston, Texas

This place is amazing! I have been going here for years and well over 5 seperate occasions including my wife's birthday party. This is my favorite kbbq in all of Houston area. They serve food well into the late hours making it a great late night dinner with friends and parties. They also play K-pop which is very nice as a K-pop listener. However, one caution thing I will note is price has significantly increased on the menu. It may be related to their additional and new location in Bellaire area, but that should not warrant an offloading that cost of investment to us as the customer. read more

If you're craving late-night Korean food on any day except Tuesdays (they're only closed on Tuesdays), One Shot Pocha is the perfect restaurant to dine at! Their menu is packed with a variety of classic Korean dishes perfect for a chill meal, tipsy karaoke get-togethers, or after a night out. After a long day, I decided to treat myself to my preferred KFC (Korean fried chicken) and tteok-beokki. Since it was just me dining, I got 5 wings with the soy garlic sauce. So crunchy!! The wings paired perfectly with the banchan side dishes and tteok-beokki. The tteok-beokki is a really good size especially if you come with a party of 3-4 people. I ended up having a lot to take home! Along with serving yummy, large portions of Korean food, One Shot Pocha has karaoke rooms too! I've only ever dined here but I love getting to hear the karaoke singers as the doors to the private rooms open and close. Lastly, I like the use of buttons when you're ready to order, if you need a waiter, or when you're ready for the check. Super efficient. read more

One Shot Pocha - Fried Chicken wings with soy garlic sauce - Korean Near Me - Houston, Texas

See all

I've been to Korea, this was literally soooo close to the flavors I had over there. I had the corn cheese, soy garlic wings, and the ramen. The banchan was very good and one of the better kimchis I've had, and the corn cheese and ramen were solid. It's more family style so I would recommend coming here in a pair of 2 or with a party. But the soy garlic wings?! They were delicious. The texture, the flavor, everything about it was so good. I highly recommend them! The ambiance was really cool and it was just as if you walked right into a bar in Korea. The service is chill and it's on demand with a call button, but I felt kind of bad as the waitress we had didn't seem like she wanted to be bothered. We tried to limit the amount of times we called her just cause we didn't wanna bother her... but when you need something you need something, ya know? I would highly recommend coming here if you want a late night delicious meal! read more

Never judge a book by its cover! I say this because the plaza looks quite unassuming. But once you walk in, One Shot Pocha's upbeat and lively atmosphere is the first thing you'll notice. The place was packed! There were already plenty of people dining when I arrived (and even more by the time I left). It is quite spacious inside, with lots of tables. I didn't get the chance to look, but I believe there's an outdoor patio as well. The interior is nicely decorated, with soju cap bottles on the partitions, and cute LED signs hung throughout the restaurant. My friend and I ordered the corn cheese, kimchi bulgogi fries, tteokbokki, and half chicken tossed in Korean sweet and spicy sauce. I was impressed by the generous portion sizes. The corn cheese was solid! You can't go wrong with it. The kimchi bulgogi fries were tasty and came with A LOT of fries. The tteokbokki was okay. I found it a little bland and too sweet for my taste. The fried chicken, though, was my favorite! It was crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. The sauce was savory and sweet and not too spicy. Excellent service! The food came out quickly, and ordering and paying was a breeze. Each table has a bell you can press if you need anything. Overall, I highly recommend this place! Great food, great music, outstanding service, and a fun atmosphere to hang out with friends or family. read more

What an amazing birthday I celebrated at One Shot Pocha. Everything was smooth from the minute I made the reservation, to the minute we arrived and was happily surprised about our room, to the last minute we were there. It was such a great experience and I wish I would've came back here again instead of trying another karaoke place which was a horrendous experience. Thank you One Shot Pocha for leading the way in the business! First, love the fact that the rooms are spacious and there's plenty. Second, love the fact that there's a button to call your server whenever you need anything. Third, love it all. Food was great, atmosphere was awesome and it was total great vibes from everyone including the host, bartender, servers and other patrons inside! read more

Been here a few times for food and group hangouts. The menu has all the usual Korean staples.. And I've tried a bit of everything from the appetizers like chicken wings, seafood pancake, to the army stew and meats like bulgogi and short ribs. It's decent overall, nothing food wise that really stands out and comparable to some of the other spots along Long Point. What you are paying for is the Pocha experience.. Good atmosphere during the weekend, TVs playing Kpop videos and very lively ambiance overall.. The karaoke rooms are often busy with a queue. The watermelon soju is a crowd favorite and we've gone through beers to sojus to cocktails here..again sold options but to me still overpriced/overhyped if we are rating strictly on food. Service is very efficient ordering/pay via tablets. The parking lot can be packed so often may end up parking across the street or next door. Overall, they do a great job capturing the authentic pocha vibe.. It's fun, social, and energetic. A popular spot for the younger crowds, and while I personally still prefer a regular sit-down Korean experience, this place is perfect if you're going for the atmosphere and karaoke. read more

I love karaoke. And I love great food. This venue allowed me to combine these interests. The service was so friendly and prompt. The room was really spacious and comfy and could accommodate only it large group easily. The giant table in the middle really worked well to facilitate eating an actual new while also being able to sing and participate. I loved the tambourines and other small details. The food itself was spectacular! From the seafood pancakes, cheese corn and fries to the watermelon soju, everything was delicious. The karaoke itself was regular YouTube. So if you don't have YouTube premium, you will have to watch ads between songs. Really had a good time for a good price! read more

I went late Friday night with some friends to grab a bit and some drinks. The food was delicious and the experience was fun. It does have a loud ambiance due to the karaoke so it might be hard to hold a conversation. I would totally recommend the corn cheese and the korean chicken. The corn and cheese combination grilled perfectly pairs well and the chicken is extra crispy with delicious flavors. I like how there's a button on the tables you can press to call the servers. They don't bother you otherwise and you don't have to flag anyone down in the midst of all the busy-ness. read more

One Shot Pocha - Army Stew - Korean Near Me - Houston, Texas

See all

I have heard great things about this restaurant and I was super excited to try it. We had a party of 9 and we were able to get seated promptly on a Friday evening around 7:30 pm without a reservation. The ambiance is set up like a Korean bar with TVs playing k pop and soju paraphernalia all over. The table has a button that you click whenever you are ready to order and the staff promptly comes over shortly after. We ordered a lot of food, and I would say that overall things were pretty good. The chicken wings were outstanding with a super crunchy batter and excellent sauce. The wings came with fried rice cake which added a nice touch. The Kimchi Bulgogi fries were also yummy with perfectly crispy fries and decent amount of meat and kimchi. The spicy rice cake was very bland with very sparse amounts of rice cake. The seafood pancake was just okay, and it had bell peppers in it which is a little strange in my opinion. The rice cake and sausage skewer was quite appetizing and I really enjoyed the pairing. The Army stew was good but nothing was special or outstanding about the dish. The black bean noodles were flavorful and the noodles were not overcooked. The tonkatsu was the worst I have ever had. The meat was cut in the wrong direction and it was very hard to chew. The flavor was quite bland as well. The spicy chicken feet were very well seasoned and the texture was very satisfying. My diagnosis: Lots of variety but definitely come for the chicken wings. PSA: this place is not cheap and you should expect at least $30 per person for a decent size meal. read more

This place transports you to... a hipster bar in a romcom Kdrama! Tonssss of photo ops. Seating divided by grid wall panels adorned with soju bottle caps and mini Polaroids of cool customers/staff. Cute frogs and flashy neon signs are displayed throughout the place. There's a call button on each table... and personally, my favorite, the Squid Games drinking game with the creepy doll! I came here for dinner with some friends, and we had an amazing time! The Food: Seafood Pancakes- Crispy and they didn't skimp on the seafood. Corn Cheese- One of my fave ways to eat corn; Korean style with cheese over a sizzling hot plate! Soy Garlic 1/2 Chicken- I like the tiny rice cakes served with this. Soy garlic is a good flavor, but this chicken was a little more on the sweet side versus an umami profile from the soy sauce. There's a decent coating of batter on the chicken that makes it crispy. Japchae- Default protein is beef. The noodles were good. Overall, another "sweet" dish. The banchan sides weren't too impressive if I'm being honest. We didn't ask for any refills... Now, the great surprise- they had that Squid Games drinking game! You will need to give your ID/license to borrow it for your soju drinking pleasure! They also give you 2 FREE mini Polaroids, additional ones are $3/each. It was a wonderful night with great company, but this place made it extra memorable. Our server, Millie was awesome! Will return for more shenanigans, and soju! :) read more

I remember just two years ago I was hoping a good pocha would come to Houston and then all of a sudden we had quite a few open up all at the same time. I've been to a majority of them and will say most frequented one is one shot. It used to be hard to get a table on the weekends but it has gotten a little better. I would still call ahead of time or make a reservation though. I've had quite a bit of their food some of my favorites are: Wings Rose tteoboki Seafood pancake Rice balls Large army soup Bulgolgi fries: large portion One thing that I probably wouldn't order again would be the mackerel which was really fishy. Overall I really enjoy the food and it's a fun place to come with your friends. I believe the karaoke room requires a minimum spend of $200 an hour. Last time we spent like $570 but had to leave at the two hour mark on a slow weekday which was a little annoying. read more

This place is awesome. If you're not young and cool, it's weird going here. Food was GREAT. Service is top notch. Ambiance is amazing. Please ignore the MANY influencers that are filming or taking pictures. Would I go back? I can't wait. We ate all the food before taking pictures. Sorry. read more

Man, this place does not miss! I've stopped by here several times already and their fried chicken is fantastic. The interior has such a fun ambiance and captures the Korean nightlife well. For dinner we ordered Cold Buckwheat Noodles (Spicy) Marinated Grilled Ribs Wings (Soy Garlic and Korean Sweet and Spicy) Fried Dumplings (Chicken) All these options were great but as I mentioned earlier, their fried chicken is a must get! The exterior has that satisfying crunch that you can't get enough of. And the chicken is juicy and so flavorful from the sauce that they use. I also love how they throw in some fried rice cakes with the wings which have that chewy texture that's so addictive. As for the dumplings, at first I was neutral about getting them but they're juicy and perfectly fried. The banchan (side dishes) are all pretty solid too. Service was fast and friendly and I hope to bring a group of friends to do karaoke next time! read more

The vibes here are always amazing, the Korean pocha is reminiscent of a bar in Korea and the interior is friendly and intimate! What I love most about this place is that they have karaoke rooms surrounding the restaurant, so you can transfer the party to the karaoke rooms after you dine. Me and my party tried a couple dishes including the spicy pork belly, kimchi stew, and not pictured but the soy garlic wings. I'd say the pork belly was a solid 8/10, the meat was bouncy and marinade wasn't too salty nor spicy. The stew was a 5/10 in my books, I felt like it was too salty and could use more stew to dilute the flavor. The soy garlic wings were 8/10, they were my favorite but it could've used more crisp. I'd say the drinks and food are on the pricier end, but the vibes are unmatched and the staff are all friendly. Overall, I'd recommend stopping by! read more

Fun and vibrant Korean restaurant with K-pop, K-drama, and karaoke vibes - neon lights, karaoke booths, K-pop music videos playing. Food is equally fantastic and many plates are shareable for family-style eating with friends. Service with the call buttons on each table is reliable and quick. Highlights include the Korean fried chicken wings (soy garlic or sweet/extra spicy), bossam, fries, and corn cheese. Food comes out hot and fresh. Bossam and fries portions are huge and great for sharing. Seasoned fries sere surprisingly addicting, beware. Side dishes are solid, especially the pickled radish. This place is Let's Eat Houston approved! read more

I was pleasantly surprised by the food here. I don't know what I was expecting, but this Korean bar + Karoke bar had some great drinks and the Korean Fried Chicken was pretty good too! My friend recommended the watermelon soju slushy drink, which came in a giant half watermelon. Presentation was cute and the drink itself was so refreshing and a little sweet. You could barely taste the alcohol, which made it easy for two people to finish it. Dangerous! The wings were pretty good, but very sticky. I felt like my fingers kept sticking to the napkins, but I kept eating them regardless. It came with a small Korean pickled radish dish and potato salad. If you go early on a weekend evening, parking is not a problem, but when we left around 9:00-ish the lot was full. read more

One Shot Pocha - Korean Near Me - Houston, Texas

One Shot Pocha didn't have to shoot multiple times to get it right. It's been a bullseye ever since the day they've opened. They've successfully captured what I miss about the Korean nightlife scene on both coasts: delicious food, accommodating service, perfect ambiance, and a high quality noraebang experience. The pocha experience is definitely alive here. I thought I had stepped into a place from Flushing KTown or a noraebang spot on Wilshire in LA. They have the intimate lighting, KPop vibes, a loaded bar, hangup bar decor (tickets, photos, a bit of soju promo etc.) etc. The feel is important and they nailed it. I am very impressed with the food. Budaejiggae is on point, along with a very crunchy and hearty haemool pajun, crunchy mandoo, tasty soy garlic fried chicken, even a legit tteokboki, and quality japchae. Swallow it all down with some watermelon soju and maekeolli and it's a party. Getting fed well is a crucial part of the pocha experience. The dedicated noraebang room is such a treat. It's not a mega room but it's good enough for a solid amount of bodies in one room. The seating was comfy, ventilation was on point, and the sound system was bumpin. Naturally they go hard with the Ziller selection, which means everything is coded to that large Korean remote. I know not everyone is, but I am always down with it. Owner Jin and his team are excellent at what they do. They have done such a bangup job that I wouldn't hesitate to head up to Spring Branch for a true Korean night experience. read more

Our group of friends has been overdue for a karaoke night and Shveta A. knew just the place to take us! We set a time and date early in the week so I was easily able to reach out on Instagram to reserve a medium room - they got back to me quickly to confirm the booking, and when we rolled up Saturday night we were promptly brought back to our private karaoke room/booth, already set up with plates/utensils/water pitchers and YouTube TV connection instructions. We were super hungry so we aimed to put in our order early and get a few songs in before dinner; little did we know our food would arrive in short order, and we quickly dropped our mics to devour the saucy, crispy fried chicken, the sweet, buttery corn cheese, and the savory, classic jajangmyeon. We additionally split the refreshing watermelon soju - it's sweet, juicy, and DANGEROUS cause you can't taste the alcohol at all! The complimentary banchan were welcome additions, though I did wish we had a plate of traditional napa kimchi too. We took turns belting into the mic and licking our fingers clean for the remainder of our two-hour block, and when the time came to pay our check, we were so reluctant to leave (though at least in good spirits and full bullies). Their ongoing promotion waives the hourly room fee after hitting spending minimums on food and drinks ($100/hr for small and medium, $200/hr for large), which is a great value proposition! Parking was a little tight, but you might have luck in the neighborhood behind. Overall, One Shot Pocha offers a killer combo of great food, excellent vibes, and prompt service - consider it for your next night out and perhaps you'll see me there too! read more

4.5/5 stars I've been to this pocha about 4-5 time since it first opened. I checked my photos though, and the last time I went there was October 2023, so it's been a while. I went on a Friday night near opening time, and it wasn't too busy yet, but I know this place gets packed later on. I love the vibes here with the kpop music, dim lighting, neon signs, and polaroid photos pinned to the table dividers. There are also karaoke rooms if you're in the mood for singing. Service here was good as always. Each table has a button that you can press whenever you need a server. We ordered: - Corn cheese - Sotteok sotteok - Marinated grilled ribs - Japchae - Rose tteokbokki - Korean sweet & extra spicy wings (5 pcs) The rose tteokbokki wasn't my favorite. It had a very strong cheese flavor that overpowered everything else. But I did like that it came with so much noodles, tteokbokki, fish cakes, sausage, and quail eggs. The japchae also wasn't the best. It was pretty bland. I do remember it being better when I ordered it in the past though, so maybe it was just an off day. Everything else was very good! The marinated grilled ribs were cooked perfectly and very flavorful. The korean sweet & extra spicy wings were crispy, juicy, and indeed extra spicy! I was pleasantly surprised by the spice level because in the past it was not spicy at all. And of course you can't go wrong with the corn cheese and sotteok sotteok. Both are simple, yet so delicious! read more

I finally had a chance to come here to eat late night Korean food. The parking lot was packed and inside was busy but we were able to get a table pretty fast as most of the people here are in the private Karaoke room, and they have a lot of it.

Maybe because I'm from LA I've had better Korean food their sweet and sour pork wasn't even authentic but I do recommend their cheese and corn that was fire, seafood pancake was 4/10 but their fried chicken is ok just not as good as where I'm from but can't complain they even have a karaoke area read more

You know it's a good place when you try to make reservations two nights in a row but they were all booked up. We tried one last time and they only had a 4pm available. Who karaoke's and drinks at 4pm? Uh, us! :) We'll take it! Who knew there were so many other people eating Korean food in a karaoke bar at 4pm. It was already packed! We got seated in a nice small room and was immediately greeted and assisted by our server, who showed us how to us the TV. It's basically just AirPlay, YouTube from your phone. If you need help, you press this doorbell thing on the wall. Great sound system and they clean their mic's (it has a cover) which is a plus. They don't allow outside drinks so don't even try. We got the Korean fried chicken and it was THE best fried chicken I've ever had. Pretty surprised for bar food. It was coated well with just the to go r amount of sauce and fried to perfection. It was battered really well. We also got the cheese katsu which I wouldn't recommend. The pork was thick to chew. It had good flavor but was too much work in eating it. read more

Second time visiting here and I have yet to be let down. My friends and I needed somewhere to catch up at 10pm, and very few establishments provide a high quality restaurant/bar combo at those hours on a Wednesday night. Dining here feels like the closest I'll get to Korea until I actually visit. The interior is decked out in Korean pop culture with neon lights, music videos, and Soju caps+posters hung everywhere. Although the atmosphere was lively, it wasn't overbearingly loud. Service was quick with immediate seating and rapid response to the call button. In my opinion, any variant of the Korean fried chicken is a must-order. The menu lists sizes such as "whole" or "half", but gets served as boneless wings either way. My group opted for the sweet and spicy sauce, but I could only taste the sweet aspect. Still tasty nonetheless. 4.5/5. Kimchi Bulgogi Fries - very tasty when combined with the bulgogi and mayo, but there wasn't enough bulgogi relative to the amount of fries. About 1/2 of the fries had mayo and scallions but no bulgogi. 4/5. Corn cheese - how they manage to turn a simple looking dish like this into a delicacy is beyond me. It melts in your mouth with a touch of sweetness. 5/5 One notable issue at my recent visit was that there seemed to be some dust-like particles floating in the air. Toward the end of my visit, my friends and I felt something small getting into our eyes and noses, and I ended up having to cough a little bit. I noticed one of the servers at the front experiencing the same issue. Not sure what that was about, but it made us hurry for the check to get some fresh air outside. I didn't have this issue before, so hopefully it was just an isolated incident. This is one of my favorite nighttime establishments to visit. The pocha scene has been expanding steadily in recent years, but this place continues to rank high in terms of vibes, authenticity, and quality of food. read more

I went here for a birthday celebration, and the vibes are immaculate - not only is their menu very very extensive but everything that came out was absolutely delicious! The place is split up into two sections. There's a general dining area with lots of smaller boots, but a few bigger table sprinkled throughout and then in the corner, our karaoke booth that you can reserve and pay a surcharge to sing and eat in. We did not do karaoke here unfortunately but we definitely want to check this place out again to do karaoke. The service was great and is very similar to many Korean pubs nearby where there's a button that you press in order to call the waiter or waitress over! Overall, a great night out that I highly recommend! read more

Such a fun vibe! Decorated in a Korean-night life inspired design. Dim lights, Korean posters, and Soju bottle caps all around. They have a call button on the table to summon the waitresses. Servers were friendly and quick to respond. We ordered the Kimchi Bulgogi Fries, Korean fried chicken, and corn cheese. The dishes were well flavored and generous portions. Only complaint is that the fried chicken sauces cost $2 extra and the Sweet and Extra Spicy sauce we ordered for our chicken was definitely sweet but not spicy at all. Not even a bit of a kick. Not sure if they used the wrong sauce, but I know Koreans are not afraid of spice like this. Even on a Wednesday night, so many people were coming in and out of One Shot. I can't wait to check out this place after a night out. Definitely the go to spot to have a hangout! read more

One Shot Pocha - Korean fried chicken (whole chicken) - Korean Near Me - Houston, Texas

One Shot Pocha has been my favorite pocha spot for a long time standing, and after trying out other spots in Houston, it still reigns supreme. It has the vibes down to the tee. The low lighting and neon lights, music is a a perfect volume where you don't have to yell to hear each other but still a good vibe, the perfectly cold water in those Korean pitchers, the well designed decor, everything! I also love the booths here, they are intimate yet not too closed off at the same time. It's always a good time at One Shot. For this visit we ordered Corn Cheese, Kimchi Bulgogi Fries, and Whole Fried Chicken in the Sweet & Extra Spicy Sauce. Each dish comes out in generous portions. My all time favorite is the corn cheese. It's sweet and so cheesy that you get a cheese pull every time you grab a scoop. We didn't drink this time, but when you have the chance, try out the Whole Watermelon and Whole Pineapple Sojus. They are a MUST! One Shot Pocha will remain at the top spot for me. And given how busy it is on weekends and having a good amount of people super late on weekdays is a testament to how good they are. Parking will be tricky when they are super packed, but they have a big lot behind the building for additional spots. read more

What a busy pocha restaurant! They get super packed for dinner time, especially on the weekends! Get here early because otherwise, there will be a wait. But you just have to walk in and add your name to the list on the clipboard to be called, once a table opens up. On a busy night, expect at least a 30 minute wait. The atmosphere and ambiance of the restaurant is similar to any pocha restaurant, loud music, good company, and delicious foods and drinks. Loved their corn cheese with chicken and braised pork belly (bossam). Food came out fast and fresh. Service was helpful and friendly. read more

This place wasn't too far from the Hotel that I was staying at, at the time...and I figured that it was a nice alternative to eating fast food take out. So I went ahead and drove to this place at around 11:00pm. I finished work around 10:45pm and I know that the Deny's restaurant across from the extended stay hotel did not offer any Asian dishes with rice... As I was following Google maps, it brought me into like a suburbs area and initially I thought this was going to be on the side of a main road or free way...but no, it was kinda tucked away in a very small area where there were other Asian type establishments. It was definitely one of if not the only establishment that was open thst night I came in to try the place out and remember that there was some type of Korean BBQ place that was in the same parking lot but on the opposite end of One Shot Pocha. I noticed that it was a bit busy and after walking in, it was packed!! I think it was a Thursday or Friday night that I went and it was packed!! I ended up sitting at the bar and decided to make a take out order. The staff were super nice and super patient. They were even kind enough to give a few of their recommendations as far as my to go food order, which was super nice!!! Anyway, this place is definitely more of a hip place to dine and drink at. But it was worth the time to come and check out!!! I didn't save any of my food pictures, but I do remember getting the pork belly and rice as well as the Korean Fired Chicken!!! Give this place a try if you're looking for a place that serves great late night Korean food!!! read more

The omurice had a very homey taste to it. The kimchi fries were LOADED. Everything we had was very filling. Especially for the price. We felt very welcomed by the staff and would love to come again. read more

One Shot Pocha - Kimchi Bulgogi Fries - Korean Near Me - Houston, Texas

My love for Korean food is never ending and my best friend took me here on a weekend. I was in awww, when I entered. Like literally, the ambiance made me feel like I'm in a k-drama. Then we ordered kimchi pancakes, soju, and a bunch of food. The taste is amazing and we had a great time. Definitely try this out if you love Korean food. The only downside I felt was the area wasn't too safe, it looked shady but maybe because i personally don't like it. Other than that, once we entered inside, it was just perfect. read more
