    Great place to get Korean food and Katy Texas! The place is pretty much like a bar with loud music and dark lighting. The food was great, the best thing that we got was the Korean spicy tofu soup! The galbi and the rice cakes were OK. I recommend and would come back.

    Bibim Guksu

    Came here on a Saturday night for a late dinner. I liked that the bell system allowed for us to request assistance when we needed it. We ordered the nurungji seafood soup, the roasted squid, and some bibim guksu. It was my first time trying bibim guksu. I enjoyed the texture of the noodles and the balance of flavor though I'd have preferred it to be spicier. I liked the flavor of the soup, but it was missing the nurungji. I thought the squid was ok. One of my favorite things about Korean food is the banchan and unfortunately when I went they only had kimchi available. Although I like the bell service, I found it hard to get the attention of an attendant when trying to pay and leave the restaurant. Overall the food was ok and the service was average here.

    Looking for a late night Korean spot? Hanshin is the place to enjoy some great drinks and food. The restaurant/bar isn't as busy in the later hours but nonetheless it hits the spot for cravings. We opted for the Korean fried chicken and the bulgogi fries. The chicken was super flavorful and crunchy while the fries packed a lot of different textures and flavors. My personal fave was the egg on top and the bulgogi, which amped the dish even more! The tables are arranged differently and they have coverings which makes it a bit more private. However the service could use some work, you have to ring a button which is typical and honestly didn't expect great service for late night. Food was great and I would be back just to try other dishes!

    Moved to Houston in the beginning of January and have been trying to find really good Asian food. One of my coworkers wife invited me to this restaurant. When I was driving here I realized this is the spot that I've been looking for. So many different Asian restaurants, boba spots and grocery store. Everything is located here. So happy to know this area now. The tofu kimichi stew was delicious! Best one I've had since being here. The fried dumplings were delicious as well. The inside of the restaurant is very clean and cute. Add this restaurant to my Houston restaurant list!

    This is a great spot for hanging out and drinking with friends. The place has nice decor and good vibes. It's called Pocha, and it really gives you that authentic pocha feel -- like the red tent-style street stalls in Korea that usually serve hot food. Personally, I found it a bit warm inside the tent since there isn't much airflow (the tent blocks it), and these tents are typically meant for outdoor use to protect from cold and wind. My friends and I ordered a bunch of food and drinks, and the bill came out to under $130 -- cheaper than we expected for everything we had. The prices are very reasonable! Here's what we tried: - French Fries - They didn't look quite like the photo on the menu, but they were still good and simple, like any fries. - Corn Cheese - Really tasty! I liked the cheese they used. - Ramyun - Came with an egg; simple and classic, just like any good ramyun. - Rose Tteokbokki - Creamy, flavorful, and loaded with toppings. I did feel this one was a little pricey compared to the rest. - Kimchi Fried Rice - Well-seasoned and a huge portion. Even with four of us, we had plenty of leftovers. - Sweet and Spicy Fried Chicken - Delicious, crispy, and a large portion. We devoured it! - Korean Beef Short Rib - Huge portion and nicely seasoned. They offered white rice with it, but we passed since we already had the fried rice. Everything was great -- amazing ambiance, excellent service. The staff checked on us often and made sure everything was good. They also offer free refills on banchan (side dishes), and the banchan itself was delicious (I forgot to mention that earlier!). Overall, I highly recommend this place for a fun night out with friends. It's open late (until 2 AM!), so it's perfect for hanging out until midnight.

    What I liked: -The grilled fish was delicious -The booths where you eat are enclosed and you don't see other diners. As an introvert, I loved this. - Service is requested with the press of a button, instead of the server checking on you every 10 minutes What I did not like: - the boneless chicken was not crispy and tasted a bit dry - their cocktail selection is small - the corn cheese was runny and did not have a thick sauce. Something was off.

    I came there at late night so the restaurant was not packed with people. I didn't have to wait long for the food and the food were great. The only things that I did not like there is they don't have banchan and the service was a little bit slow.

    Honestly, it was just okay. The food looked great when it arrived, but once we started digging in, we quickly realized that most of the dishes were overloaded with onions. For the price, we were expecting more substance and better quality. Overall, everything felt pretty mediocre--the flavors didn't really stand out. On a positive note, the place itself was cute, and the ambiance was nice. The service was fine, but nothing particularly memorable.

    Waiting area

    Very private ambiance. Bar has TVs to watch sports. Attentive service. Food was delicious

    strawberry soju
    Aryani N.

    Service 5 STARS, AMBIANCE 5 stars!!! Food was a little short, let me explain, because this was very hard for me to give 3 stars. I appreciate the staff for the great service. The food was just subpar and that's really it. Maybe I need to come back and try more stuff. I got kimchi fried rice, KFC, ramen, and fries. Highlights: did I say great service? they had this doorbell that was pretty efficient, and we got happy hour soju, totally worth it! highly recommend coming here during the week, to have a little soju, which means a few bottles for a little night cap. Somehow soju just taste so much sweeter when you had a long day, long week, or even ready to quit you job haha! all jokes aside. insert angel emoji here. Plenty of parking, and yes I'll come back to try more on the menu!

    I was craving for Korean food and saw this restaurant on Instagram. The layout is really cool, each table is divided with the red tents. Give you an intimate experience and also like eating on the streets of Korea. I ordered whole fried chicken and it was delicious. Everything we ordered were seasoned just right. Our server came to take our orders and gave us recommendations, there's also a button on the wall to push if we need anything.

    Actual rating: 4.5/5 stars Me and my friends stopped by Hanshin Pocha on a Tuesday night for dinner. The tables here have these orange curtains separating them, which I thought was nice. It made it a little more private. The tables also have a little station with napkins, chopsticks, straws, hand sanitizer, and a trash can. Once you're ready to order, there's a button that you can press to have a server come to your table. Service was a little slow here. It was relatively busy though, and maybe they're also understaffed? What I dooon't understand though, is why the same song kept playing over and over on repeat the entire time. It was "goodbye with smile" by Soya n Sun. And it wasn't even the whole song playing on repeat, just one section of the song. But it's fine, my main priority is the food, which was very good! We ordered: - Corn cheese - Sweet & spicy chicken wings (small size) - On-the-spot rose tteokbokki - Korean beef short rib So starting off with the corn cheese, the corn was crunchy and sweet! The cream was also good, and it was sooo cheesy! I can't believe I'm saying this, but maybe a little tooo cheesy. I would've liked more corn and less cheese. But overall, this was still very good, and definitely one of the better corn cheese that I've had. The corn cheese is listed as a starter though, but it came at the very end of our meal, which was kinda ironic. One thing that I LOVE about this pocha is the food that is listed as spicy, is ACTUALLY spicy!! I've been to a good amount of pochas, and for some reason, their "spicy" food is never spicy. Even to my low spice tolerance friends and family. So I was so happy when the sweet and spicy chicken wings and the rose tteokbokki had a nice kick to it! The wings were super crispy as well. The only issue I had with it was some parts of the batter was a little cold for some reason? The actual chicken was warm though. The rose tteokbokki was my favorite thing there! The best one that I've had by far. The sauce was super creamy, sweet, and spicy. The tteokbokki, fish cakes, noodles and veggies were perfect with it. It also came with a plate of fried calamari and dumplings that tasted good dipped in the sauce. The korean beef short rib was also really tasty. It was a little chewy, but the flavor was just so good. Overall, I really loved everything that we ordered. Just some little tweaks needed.

    I haven't been to this spot in years. I forgot how good this place was!…read more Music is always popping here. I came in on a Friday night, and they had a live DJ playing. The music is a mix of EDM, Hip-hop, Rap, and R&B. They have tables and bar top seating. If you have a bigger group, I'm sure you can find a table depending on the time you arrive. There is a lot of seating. To start off, I ordered the Matcha Martini. It was STRONG omg, definitely a sipper, but it was so good. It was creamy and had a good matcha flavor. I love how they added matcha powder on top. For drinks, I also tried their espresso martini and Bubbly Pineapple. The espressos here are good, no complaints. The Bubbly Pineapple is so cute; it comes out with a bubble of smoke you can pop. The drink is very refreshing; it really tastes like pineapple. FYI, the drink has little black seeds, so if you don't like textures in your drink, maybe this one isn't for you. Also the drink came with a little frozen pineapple you can add to your drink once you pop the bubble As an appetizer, I got a dozen raw oysters and decided to add the $5 tobiko (fish eggs). Let me say, they were not stingy with the Tobiko, there was so much on my Oysters, I mean a lot! The oysters were good, and so was the tobiko, but I feel that with so much tobiko, it kind of took away from the oysters. Still good though, especially for $21 for the dozen with the tobiko! It was very filling I'm not gonna lie, I got pretty full with the oysters, but I still had to eat my entree As an entree, I ordered the Short Ribs, which came with rice and a side salad. I didn't think I was going to eat much of my entree since the oysters had filled me up, but I ate the short ribs down to the bone! Every single one of those ribs I devoured, no meat was left on my plate. I didn't have space to eat, but my stomach made space for this. 10/10 would recommend the short ribs, especially with the delicious sauce it came with. I think it's like a fish sauce 10/10 for food and drinks. Bonus: the staff here is really friendly. I really enjoyed my time here. I need to come more often for sure, this is definitely a Katy gem

Had no reservations anywhere on a Friday night but called GiAu Bar n Bites & they said come on in, we don't get our crowd till late night. It was fairly empty at 7:30p but by the time we left at 9:45p there were a few more ppl. Funny thing is, the age of most customers was 40-60s. The music is pumping loudly with no DJ but at 9p the DJ came in & took the music up another level! I think the older folks come out early & likely the younger people take over after 10 or 11p. ( I won't be able to confirm that theory cause I'll be home by then!) Food & services were good as usual. The bartenders do a great job check them out!

Super responsive, welcoming, and just genuinely great to work with. When we arrived, he met us outside, gave us a full tour, and let us experience the space firsthand. We got to play some of the batting games, try an entrée, and grab a couple of drinks--everything was a great preview of what they offer. The setup is really versatile. You can host a meeting in a private space and then transition right into the batting experience, which makes it perfect for team outings or offsites. Pricing was very reasonable, and they even offer 15% off on Corporate Thursdays, which is a nice perk. Also didn't realize they host concerts--definitely adds to the overall vibe. We haven't officially booked yet, but this spot is absolutely worth checking out. Whether it's for a team event or just a fun hangout with friends, it's a unique and well-run place.

They acted giddy and happy to help us put everything together, reassuring us that they would be there to support us on our big day. That all changed the moment they got paid. On the day of the event, we only saw the owners twice, and neither time was to help us. When I walked up to the owner to thank him for having us, his response was completely unprofessional: "Are you kidding? This is for you, you paid for it." The only other time he approached us was to aggressively complain about someone taking up two parking spots--and it wasn't even one of our guests. They also explicitly promised they would check on us throughout the event to see if we needed refills on water or drinks. They completely ghosted. We never saw them, and our guests were left without service. It has been three weeks since the event, and we haven't received a single follow-up call or text to ask how things went. They got their money and completely checked out. Nice place, but terrible owners and even worse service. Never again will we book with them. Save your money and go somewhere where the staff actually cares about your business.
