Okay, > The service was genuinely friendly and welcoming, making for a pleasant experience. We were also impressed by the excellent value for money, especially considering the quality of the food. The menu offered a good variety of choices, catering to different tastes. Finally, our meals arrived piping hot and were clearly freshly prepared, which we really appreciated.

Always wanted to find a local authentic Korean restaurant and I went alone and I've never felt so welcome and comfortable, the food was amazing I will definitely be back there a lot!

A great place for food and a drink never realised how big the portions were intil we got there today, which were brilliant and real worth the money. They have daily specials. We have been watching alot of Korean films on Netflix and keep seeing them having meals and they seem great anyway now we have been and they are brilliant. These are the type of places that people need to look after because when they are gone they are gone so we need to look after them when they are here, all I would say is that we will be back again.

Let’s say it was a fulfilling lunch, a good chicken burger with a korean twist to it. I had the lunch set which consist of a burger with fried chicken thigh dipped with a chosen sauce with cola and potato wedges as sides. The burger itself was quite big, it filled me through the day and the wedges to me, are above average because it seems like it was made fresh with their in house batter and excellent frying. it elevates the dining experience even more + the ambience and decoration of the restaurant screams niche things you can bring from korea. it definitely a plus to me. overall, would dine again but price wise it is not so forgiving for one person to explore the menu alone.

I had vegetable pancake and I was surprised by the little pancake and kimchi that they brought as a starter free of charge.The pancake was a bit soggy and oily but very tasty overall.The dipping sauce was lovely seasoned and the kimchi was very good. The staff was very lovely! I will definitely return to try something else on the menu.

The Korean food was excellent. This place did not mimic Korean food or sell fusion food. a traditional taste. But, I can't believe the price of food has gone up by almost £2 in four months..

Pocha is hands down one of my all-time favourite Korean restaurants. I’ve been here numerous times, and it never disappoints. The food is consistently delicious, fresh, and clearly made with care — every dish bursts with authentic flavour. Whether it’s the comforting meats like the dubbap beef, the Gimbap , or perfectly crispy Korean fried chicken, everything hits the spot. What truly sets Pocha apart, though, is the atmosphere. The staff are absolutely lovely — friendly, welcoming, and always attentive without being overbearing. It feels like visiting a place where you’re genuinely remembered and appreciated. If you’re craving great Korean food in a relaxed and inviting setting, Pocha is a must. I’m already looking forward to my next visit!

Visited here a few times since it opened and it just seems to get better and better. Great portion sizes and very tasty. Comes with side dishes that are tasty especially the pancakes. Tried many things from the menu now and have never been let down. Lunch specials are a nice new addition. Staff always friendly and appreciated the chef personally coming out and speaking to us to make sure everything was okay.
