    Kimchi Karbonara

    Great place to have a chill friday dinner--loved their cocktails, and appetizers. The waitresses were super friendly and the food was delicious. Want to come back to try more of the menu.

    Pocha House might just be my new go-to for Korean comfort food with personality. The vibe inside is warm and lively -- neon glow, great music. The Hot Cheetos Corn Cheese is pure genius -- creamy, cheesy, sweet corn underneath that crunchy, spicy Cheeto topping. It's rich, over-the-top in the best way, and completely addictive. Then there's the Spicy Pork Bulgogi -- tender slices of pork caramelized with that deep, smoky-sweet Korean spice. Perfectly balanced heat, bold flavor, and so satisfying with rice The staff were upbeat and welcoming -- quick service, great recommendations, and genuinely happy energy that matches the food. If you're craving a spot that blends comfort, spice, and just the right amount of fun, Pocha House is it. Every dish brings flavor and flair.

    I like the vibe of the place. If it were a weekend, I can see how it could be super busy. We got the kimchi pancake, the lunch box, and rose pasta. Honestly, the food was pretty mid. Lacked flavor. The pasta was good but I wouldn't call it a Rose pasta, it tastes like a seafood boil pasta. The drinks were pretty good. We had a good time.

    We went here after a concert- love that it was open late with comfort Asian food. There happened to be an event with a dj when we went so it was super loud haha but it was good vibes! Cute interior too~ We got a variety of things- army stew, shin ramen, fire booty booldak chicken, soy garlic kfc. All were pretty tasty. The army stew was served on a burner so we could cook it on the table. The kfc was such a good texture - I liked the banchan they served with it- radish, pickled jalapeños and a side salad Parking - street parking, watch the signs as there's a lot of 1 hour parking around.

    This is a 3.5. We were looking for good Korean food and this spot came up. When we walked up, we had no idea it was a lounge. They guaranteed us that we could order food, so we went in anyway. First we're ordered the Korean wine flight. The servings on the flight were good but we found the drinks too sugary. We were looking forward to the food coming out. The pork bulgolgi was simple but had good flavor. The kimchi rice was also good. The pork belly on the salad was just alright, but we wouldn't order it again. Overall, our food and experience were fine. Not sure if we'd go back, but I'm not mad we went. The

    I've always wanted to come here because my husband and I heard great things especially about the party life at night. We were in the area looking at Yelp bookmark and Pocha House came up. When we went around 5:30 PM, it was not busy at all. It is so cool inside! Between the lights and the black furniture and all of the art, you just can't go wrong. The train even went by which means they offered four dollar shots and of course we had to take one. We love this entire experience. Our server was extremely nice, helpful and kind. I learned about the various drinks they offer. She also had good recommendations for food. The cheese corn was out of this world and having it made in front of you was quite the experience. I will definitely be back because I didn't experience a night life yet. There's so many other things. I'd like to try on the menu.

    I came here with a friend for Saturday late night food and we had around a 20 minute wait, so we just waited in the car. There's a lot of residential street parking nearby, so we just ended up chilling and waiting until they gave us a phone call. Fortunately we did not need to wait inside the store, since it was quite packed and the music was really loud. We actually didn't realize it was more of a drinks and dancing type place until it got later in the night and people started filling up the restaurant to dance. The menu is a little overwhelming, but we ordered the kimchi fried rice, the pocha shin ramen, and the bulgogi fries. The food took a little while to come out, but when it did it was piping hot and ready to eat! I enjoyed our food immensely. Service is a little haphazard since it became difficult to flag down our server to get our check later in the night but I understand, it is an overstimulating place to work. Overall I would come back here again if I was in Sac to try some more of their options (e.g KFC and sides like corn cheese)!

    The vibes here are so chill and great for hanging out with friends for drinks! The drinks have such unique and fun names! The food had an interesting take as well.

    We went on Wednesday night and it wasn't busy at all. We also had a very big party. The place is nice and spacious with a separate bar towards the back. The bathroom is such a vibe and perfect for pictures. We ordered a bunch of food (Honorable Mentions: Rose Pasta and Bulgogi Fries). The Rose pasta was seriously delicious with the perfect amount of sauce and shrimp. My friends did say it was slightly too much of a tomato flavor, but I thought it was perfect. The Bulgogi fries were very crispy and had a fair amount of toppings. We ordered a bunch of drinks like the yogurt sojus which were so yummy. It is a very light drink because of the yogurt, so it is perfect for lightweights.

    I came early on a Friday evening with little to no people there! The staff were finishing their cleaning, but we're really glad to help us. We ordered the makgeolli (rice wine) along with some food. The bulgogi fries & the soy garlic fried chicken were both solid options. They also have a DJ around 10 pm on the weekends if you're in for a more louder dinner experience. I definitely would come back here

    Love the vibes at Pocha House! Pocha House offers Korean street food classics in a vibrant, high energy space. I've been to ticketed events at Pocha House like R&B night, and I recently stopped by with friends for drinks and a bite. This is definitely a spot you won't want to miss on a night out on the town, and their food is globally inspired and sure to satisfy. My group of four started at the bar with a round of shooters, and we were seated at a booth in less than 20 mins, despite being a walk-in on a Saturday night. Service was quick, and we were offered the option of dining with chopsticks or a fork. To start, I ordered a Lychee Martini, and it was served with fresh fruit on the rim! The drink was sweet and strong without feeling overpowering. For dinner, I ordered the bulgogi. It came out on a sizzling plate, and it was perfect to share. I'm looking forward to coming back and trying more of their menu, especially their Spicy KFC! Pocha House is a fun edition to the Midtown foodie and night life scene. Be sure to stay for the DJ!

    I ordered pickup before a show at the nearby Channel 24 and the spicy bulgogi was super yummy! Prices are a little steep but in my opinion, the amount of food you get is worth the price. The spicy bulgogi came with kimchi and an ample helping of rice. My friend got the hot cheeto cheese corn and she liked it, although a little spicy for her taste, so I finished it. The restaurant had a really nice vibe and decor throughout, which extended to the bar at the back of the restaurant and restrooms. The process of picking up the food was prompt and the staff were super nice and let my friend use the restrooms too. I hope I can bring my family here when we're in town next time!

It started that evening, and our party represented three separate home. We really think it was the food. That said, maybe it was an off day, or maybe Koja Kitchen has had their day.

This was hands-down some of the best chicken pho I have ever had in my life.

We arrived a few minutes after Noon. There was only 1 person in-front of us and 1 person behind us so we thought it would be a quick lunch. As it turns out several people went through the line before us and the wait was around 15 minutes. Kind of an excessive wait for a counter lunch. There was one girl holding her baby taking the orders and one girl filling the orders. She was going as fast as she could, but it still took awhile. It got really backed up. I ordered the BBQ Beef Cupbop. I didn't know what to expect. As it turns out the bottom layer is white rice, next is a layer of glass noodles, then comes the can corned, a mixture of cabbage, and topped with the BBQ Beef. It was very tasty. A little on the spicy side, which made it just more flavorful. It wasn't mouth watering or eye tearing hot. It just had a little kick. The consistency of the meat reminded me of ground beef. It was very finely chopped strips. Overall it was really good. Very filling for the amount you get. It's more than we usually have for lunch. My husband had the chicken soy ginger. I had some and it was really good, but fried, so probably not as healthy as the BBQ Beef. It doesn't appear that they cook to order any food here, but they do scoop to order. From what I could see they sell a variety of Cupbop flavors, including a vegetarian option. They also sell sandwiches, salads, and a burrito. They have an ice water dispenser at the end of the counter with water cups. The vibe was interesting. You are surrounded by state worker from all different agencies all minding their own business. Many groups of 2-6 were eating together. There were less singles than groups.
