Pocha House

I love this spot--been here a few times now but this past time we came in on a Monday night, around 6, and were the only ones in there for at least 40 minutes. It was after thanksgiving week so that could've factored into why.

Vibe here is immaculate and I know the late night scene is a fun one, but they truly do have some good food!!! The wings are my favorite, a little crunchy, sweet and spicy, well-cooked. I adore the pickled daikon radish on the side and a nice lil cabbage salad. HIGHLY recommend :)

Our waitress was sweet & attentive & everyone who works here seems to be in a good mood and really helpful! A really good Korean-American option around the corner from the cute streets in the Ice Blocks.

We were craving some KFC and decided to give Pocha House a try. We got there around 5/5:30 and it was completely empty, so initially we weren't even sure if it was open. After speaking to a server, we sat down and ordered a few things. This is definitely a drinking restaurant - all of the food is intended to pair with your alcoholic beverage of choice.

To start, we ordered the mandu and fried gizzards. The mandu were okay - I think our least favorite item of the night. The fried gizzards were amazing, though you get a lot of them. Even the "bites" are quite large and perfect for sharing with 3-4 people, otherwise with just 2, you'd get totally full.

We also tried the tteokbokki. The sauce was so flavorful - you can taste the backdrop of the lovely anchovy broth and it was actually reasonably spicy. If you have a low tolerance for spice, this may be too much for you.

Finally, we orderd the spicy KFC. It was fine - but not as good as the tteokbokki or the fried gizzards. There are many more KFC restaurants in Sacramento that are way better.

The food was reasonably priced. The drinks were on the high end. A bottle of soju will set you back $14 (they are about 1,300 won in Korea, lol). I don't remember the price of the big bottle of Cass, but I think it was around $12, which is quite expensive, though not as bad as the soju.

Overall, the food was pretty good, though we'd definitely try some of their other items next time we stop in.

I went to Pocha House to celebrate my friend's birthday, and it was such an amazing experience! The service was great, the ambiance was cool, and the food was absolutely delicious. We ordered Hot Cheetos Corn Cheese, Pocha Shin Ramen, Spicy KFC, and kimchi fried rice--all of it was so tasty.

The place itself was incredible, with great music and vibes that made the celebration even more fun. I was really impressed and had a great time. Definitely a spot I'd recommend!

My friends and I had an outstanding experience at Pocha House. Admittedly, we had apprehensions because it looks more like a nightclub than a Korean restaurant. Ironically, I loved the food and didn't care for my cocktail! Our waitress was great from start to finish.

We had Soju, Korean Spicy Fried Tofu, Beef Bulgogi, Stir Fried Rice Cakes, Kimchee Fried Rice with Spam. What was great is that we had a few dishes set aside the meat proteins so that our vegetarian friend was able to enjoy the dishes the rest of us were enjoying. Every dish was balanced and flavorful. I wouldn't hesitate to visit Pocha House again.

I've been back to Pocha House a few times now and it's a vibe. From the neon lights and great music to the attention to detail, even in spots like the bathroom.

I have heard the nightlife is great here, but I prefer the slower hours where I can enjoy a meal or a spot at the bar. I've also ordered takeout when I'm craving Korean food and the experience has always been great.

A lot of the food offerings are sharable and meant to be enjoyed along with great friends and drinks. Their soups are delicious and one of the menu items that you'll want to order as a dine in experience.

Some of my other favorite items are the tteokbokki, wings and bulgogi, but there's a lot of variety on the menu and a little something for everyone.

The portions are generous and everything is so flavorful.

I like to sit at the bar when I'm not getting takeout and the staff is always really nice. The music is also great here and if you're into it they have DJs come in and events that you can check out.

They're open late and food is available late too!

Have been getting into Korean food lately, so wanted to check out Pocha House!

Finding parking took so long :( They do not have a designated parking lot and the building is located next to a railroad, so it's all street parking

The restaurant decor is really on theme and has a nice vibe for a night out with friends.

For food, we ordered:
1. Tteokbokki - rice cakes were perfectly chewy and the sauce was not too spicy with the perfect amount of savory-ness.

2. Bulgogi Fries - super crispy fries topped with flavorful bulgogi and drenched in a creamy sauce and lots of cheese! Really hit the spot and I could not get enough of it! I also dipped the fries in the tteokbokki sauce, and that was really good too.

Overall, we ordered the perfect combo of comfort food, and I definitely want to come back sometime to try their drinks!

With our first choice for dinner unexpectedly being closed for vacation and a long line ahead of us at our second, you could say we were in a bit of a scramble to figure out where to go next. Do we go to some place tried and true or stick with our original plan of trying something new? After seeing Pocha House in our Yelp search results, though, it sure didn't take us long to try our luck here! Really, as total fanatics of Korean food, how could we ever say no to the prospect of Korean fried chicken??

Walking into Pocha House, there were two things that immediately struck me - that we didn't have to wait for a table (woohoo!) and that the vibe here is super lively. Not in the loud, rowdy sort of way, but that there was a lot of activity going on - a couple of birthday parties, group outings, some date nights, and possibly even a first date next to us. After taking a look at the menu, it was easy to see why folks come here for all sorts of occasions - their Korean pub-style menu has a little of everything for everyone. From their apps, bar bites, and noodles to soups, stews, BBQ meats, and vegetarian plates, there were more dishes that caught our eye than we could hope to finish!

-- BULGOGI FRIES - French Fries Topped with Bulgogi, Kimchi, Garlic Mayo, Kimchi Mayo, Green Onion, and Sesame Seeds...$15
This was so good! The fries were fried to the perfect crispiness and had a lot of toppings. In particular, I liked that they didn't skimp on the bulgogi (though, I'll always take more) and how it well all of the flavors married together. Delish!

-- SOY GARLIC KFC - Korean Fried Chicken Wings Tossed in Soy Garlic Sauce Topped with Green Onion & Sesame Seeds Served with Cabbage Salad and Pickled Radish and Jalapenos...$19
The portion felt a little light for the money, but this tasted great. The batter was crunchy and not super thick while the chicken itself was both moist and piping hot. If anything, the soy garlic sauce was a bit on the sweet side, but it really wasn't that bad.

While there's nothing about our meal at Pocha House that I regret, I do wish we had come here under different circumstances. Namely, with more people and/or when we were looking for something heftier to eat so that we could've tried more of the menu. Given how we only got two dishes to go with our drinks, this does feel a little incomplete. Though, admittedly, this probably has more to do with my FOMO for the things that we didn't get to check out, like their Budae Jjigae and Fire Booty Booldak! I may not know as to when I'll be able to make my way back to Pocha House, but you can be damn sure I know exactly what I'll be ordering when I do! Plus, I love how they're open late!

Our favorite Korean fusion food spot. We come here on a monthly basis and it's always superior food, tastes amazing, and the prices are reasonable for what you get. Everything we ordered here so far has been good. The drinks, the inside of the place, and some fun staff are what makes this joint a vibe.

Ive been to pocha numerous times but last night was amazing. I came with some friends I met at tiger. Jordyn was our server. The halloween decorations were so cute. The food came out so fast despite it being 11:20pm and midnight being when the kitchen closes. My friends even got flights and they were definitely inebriated so it got the job done.

Their pricing is quite good in my opinion. Food is amazing. Vibes are good. Music is good. Other than Yd Tofu House. I really enjoy pocha as my go to Korean restaurant.

Great drinks and great vibes! A cool place to hang out with friends and get some good food. My go to drink is the pink venom!

Always treated well by staff. Definitely recommend coming here!
