The sides are wonderful as well. The service is as good as the food. The staff is so friendly and kind here, that alone makes me want to go back - not only that but the inside feels like you're actually in South Korea. It feels very authentic and nice. The decor is great and you just feel so welcome here. We'll be back for sure.

This is only the second soondae restaurant I've visited in the U.S., but my Korean…read moresister-in-law--who lived in Korea for more than 25 years and has eaten at many soondae restaurants--was genuinely impressed. That's a pretty strong endorsement. Also the interior of the restaurant was fairly modern and clean. For anyone unfamiliar with it, soondae (순대) is a traditional Korean blood sausage made by stuffing pork or beef intestines with a mixture of blood, glass noodles, rice or starch, and seasonings. It's one of Korea's most popular street foods and is typically enjoyed with salt or a dipping sauce. One thing to know before you go: this restaurant specializes in soup-based dishes. Every entrée revolves around soup, including the bulgogi. I had never seen bulgogi served in a broth before, so it was a pleasant surprise for both my boyfriend and me. Most of the soups also included clear glass noodles and came in a wide variety of combinations, so there were plenty of options to choose from. One detail I really appreciated was their takeout packaging. If you have leftovers, they use a professional heat-sealing machine that applies a thin plastic seal over the container before the lid goes on. It's a thoughtful touch that keeps the soup leak-proof and makes transporting leftovers much easier. If you're craving authentic Korean comfort food--especially soondae soup--this place is definitely worth a visit.

this may have been the best short rib of my life,,,thank god you have another location,,,san diego…read morewill be seeing me when we ordered, i thought things were a bit expensive. however when the dish came out, i realized it had MASSSSSSSIVEEE chunks of meat on even larger bones. the sauce was sweet, not to an unbalanced profile, but it complemented the spice and savoriness of the meat. i floated after the first bite wow it was really tender as well. i appreciate the tongs, scissors, and glove that the gave us too! it helped with eating the whole thing. i kid you not this was some of the best banchan ive had too. the kimchi had a great slight fishiness, not too tart which is perfect for me. both the radish and kimchi had the freshest crunch that is sometimes hard to come by. usually i'm used to more variety but the flavors and textures of these two. the spicy brisket stew was delicious!! reminded me of mama instant noodle taste which i love. i wish there were more glass noodles but there was soooooo much brisket that substituted my craving well. the tteokbokki was probably the most underwhelming dish. i think for $10, the portion is tiny and the sauce is just mild and a big thinner than im used to. the tteok itself was a good texture, but the short rib dish had tteok too which was swimming in that heavenly sauce. we just ended up mixing the tteok and short rib dish to create the best of both worlds. i love how they package their to go containers too - airtight fast service and kind owners

I thought I would be too much of a wuss for it, but if I could go back I would order all of them that flavor. The kimchi fries were stellar as well- they had kimchi, jalapeño, queso fresco, bulgogi sauce and beef on them, and they were so flavorful. The portion was huge too- it would have been a good appetizer for 4-6 people, rather than to split between the two of us. I wish they offered a half portion. The only thing we weren't a fan of were their cocktails- the flavor was good but they tasted weak. We tried the Seoul Sunset and the Forbidden Fruit, and the Forbidden fruit was definitely better. Get a beer or wine instead. They do have happy hour on Friday and Saturday. Service was friendly and quick, if not super talkative. The ambiance was fun, upscale city with neon colors and brick. Highly highly recommend if you're looking for good food at a mid level price.

I'm used to having it only one or the other. The meal came with 13 kinds of side dishes. We loved every one of them. Best cucumber kimchi I've ever had.

Seoul Korean Hot Pot & BBQ is definitely worth checking out, especially if you're a hot pot fan…read more The Korean BBQ menu has some fantastic options and the quality is excellent, but it's a bit on the pricey side since it's not all-you-can-eat. For BBQ alone, I personally think there are better values elsewhere. That said, the hot pot is where this place really shines. The setup is great, the vegetables are fresh, there are plenty of options to choose from, and it's an excellent value for what you get. The quality of the ingredients and the overall experience make it an easy place to recommend. I'll definitely be back for the hot pot!

I honestly don't know if it was because I'm not Korean, but the way she treated me was unacceptable. I'm very disappointed with this restaurant and would not recommend it.

Coming from California and being blessed west coast ktown eats, I was a bit skeptical at going to a…read morepocha in Denver. However, I was very pleasantly surprised at the ambiance, the food, the drinks, and the warmth of the owner! We walked in Thursday night at 11pm. It was one of the only Asian restaurants in the area still open after our flight landed. As expected, the customers were sparse save for 2-3 tables of diners. The interior was immediately green flags - l loved the decor and wood tones. It felt like I was in Korea! The menu is your typical pocha fare - soups, Korean pancakes, army stew, KBBQ meats. We ordered the jalapeño soy chicken wings, volcano pork, and the kimchi fried rice. My favorite was the chicken wings, really crunchy with good flavor and the wings were decently sized. The volcano pork came over a fire burner and cooked at our table. It was definitely pretty spicy but paired really well with the kimchi fried rice, which I thought could be spicier. The pork quality was ok but I really liked the flavors and the bean sprouts in the pot. I particularly love that K Pocha has zero sugar soju on the menu no sugar = no hangovers!) I always drink the brand with the fox on it and squeeze a bit of lemon into the shot. We were served by the owner and the service was efficient. He didn't seem to speak the best English so we had to have one of our friends translate when we asked questions, but he was really nice and welcoming. K Pocha seems to be pretty new, so I will hopefully be back soon to support his business! I definitely want to try the army stew and the tofu soups.

We sat at a semi private table and we were immediately given a pitcher of ice cold water. I was very excited to try the tofu here! We ordered the tofu karaage which was deliciously crunchy and came with a really good sweet sauce. Next came out the banchan which were plentiful (see pic). I was starting to get pretty full at this point! I ordered the tofu kimchi stir fry with pork and it was really good and just the right level of spice. The portion was HUGE. I brought half home. It also came with the choice of white or purple rice. My husband got bibimbap and it came out piping out. He cleared the plate. Service was incredibly quick and friendly. Prices were very good for all the food we got. I can't wait to go back!

I definitely enjoyed my tofu stew, the tofu was so silky I almost bought some to take home (but couldn't because it needed refrigeration and we weren't heading home right away on that hot day) I also absolutely adored the potato pancake, something I've never had and thought the flavor and texture is so much better than the seafood pancake usually eaten at K-bbq. Gotta love the starch!! Friends ordered grilled meats and I snuck a tiny bit to taste (since I can't handle their level of spiciness! ) they were delicious. The grilled meats and potato pancake go surprisingly well with the purple rice which might have ended up being my most favorite side dish! The grilled fish was ok. I've had better. But all the little appetizing dishes accustomed to Korean cuisine were fantastic! Will definitely come back!

We were greeted instantly upon entering and seated immediately. Because we haven't been here before, the staff took time to explain how everything works. On top of the Korean BBQ, they have a whole ramen room where you can make your own ramen with the specialized ramen water dispensers. Seriously??!! I've only seen those on TV shows!! You can also add in AYCE sushi with your Korean BBQ but we opted to not because there was so much food already. The spicy bulgogi and pork belly were my favorites!! The staff is so sweet and they check up on you intermittently. I love that they are so attentive and make you feel so welcome and at home!! If you're in the area, you HAVE to try KoBA!!
