Came here after a concert at midnight - they closed at 1230am but we made it for last call! Love the vibe, very clean interior with round tables like the ones you see in K-dramas in the center and more spacious booths along the walls. Servers were nice enough even though we came in so late. The menu is extensive with nice pictures of all the food. Pricing is to be expected - $15-25 for larger plates. I loved the pork jiggae or stew. Came out with a large portion piping hot. Nice chunks of pork and sausage with that quintessential sour kimchi taste. The pepper chicken was good but a bit more soggy than I am used to eating at more traditional Korean fried chicken joints. I wanted a little more crunch. It's a HUGE portion though! The corn cheese Mandu was tasty. I liked the addition of fried Mandu on top. The kimchi fried rice was a miss to me because it was surrounded by too much cheese. I normally like it just on its own with more rice. The cheese was overwhelming. Good for late night eats. They have deals on soju and beer too but we weren't drinking that night. read more

Arrived around dinner time on a weekend. Parking is street & it was fairly safe. There was no wait and staff are attentive. The ambience is lively with Kpop songs. I came here mainly for the marinated raw crab but ordered so much more. I was blown away by the food. Everything was delicious, esp paired with soju. Spicy marinated crab: fire! You eat it with the rice & not hard to eat. They give you gloves 5/5 Soy marinated crab: pretty good, but prefer the spicy one more. 4/5 Boneless chicken: super crispy and paired well with their sauce 5/5 Marinated chicken feet: it was good, but spicy for my friends. 4/5 Spicy pork belly with cheese: fire, but was overwhelming 4/5 Kimchi stew: perfect portion and really good. 5/5 I def would come back. read more

Hanshin Pocha appears to be a well known chain of Korean restaurants. I've gone there a few times with my wife and we've particularly enjoyed their pork dishes, their rice balls or fried rice, and we really enjoy that there are a few different squid options on the menu (fried, grilled, or stir fried). This location used to be the Oakland Bowl'd and while we miss that place, we're glad they're in this spot now and their team offer great service. When we've gone on a weekend it has been pretty busy with a lot of a full tables, but their staff have been super responsive. Parking can be tricky in that Temescal commercial part of Telegraph but I'm glad when it's busy in Oakland. Good place! This place is now in our rotation of Asian or Korean places. read more

This is just based on my DoorDash delivery order and I have not dined in person. I haven't tried soy sauce marinated raw crab before, but plenty of the spicy marinated kind especially when I lived in LA. I have been wanting to try since I see it all over social media and wanted to see if it lived up to the hype. And it did not disappoint at all and I am so glad I was able to try it here. The flavor is perfectly balanced, and the crab meat is so creamy and with the rice mix that you pay extra for all blended together, it's just amazing. I would definitely be ordering from here again if I am in the area. Next time I would order two so I can have more leftovers! read more

I can't believe it's been almost a year since my last visit to Hanshin Pocha! I stopped by with a reservation on a Sunday evening at 5:30 p.m. with a group of 8 and the place was pretty crowded. If you have a large group, I would definitely recommend getting a reservation beforehand to avoid a long wait. We came for the seasonal soy marinated crab, but also ended up ordering a seafood pancake, a kimchi pancake, a fried rice, and a platter of both of their wings. This ended up being the perfect amount of food for our group. The highlight of the night was definitely the soy marinated crab. This was my first time trying out the dish and I was shocked by the texture (or lack thereof) of the crab. There is so much briny goodness with each bite. The crab meat oozes out of its shell with the smallest amount of pressure. By itself, the crab eats a bit salty. I would recommend ordering a few extra bowls of rice to go with the crab, as each order only comes with a single bowl. Plastic gloves are provided so you don't dirty your hands eating the crab, and you'll also have a container for your discarded crab shell. Very cool experience worth trying out if you're in the area around this time of year. read more

3.5/5 stars We ordered a soy sauce raw marinated crab ($35) which came with a bowl of rice, DIY rice balls ($6), and a squid ($18). I also ordered a beer with a shot of soju ($10). The crab was not as great as expected. I didn't think it was very flavorful. There was a lot of meat but there was no roe which was a pity. However, we squeezed all the crab out into the DIY rice ball bowl and added the extra bowl of rice into it and it was sooooo good. But it was super flavorful with the sesame seeds and seaweed. No need to roll it out since the rice is super soft and doesn't form a ball easily but it is quite fun to make a few for fun. The squid was hard and tiny portion sized so I do not recommend. read more

We always go here and it's our go to Korean spot in Oakland. We've even shot a food review here and the service is always top notch. But today, our first time meeting and being served by Daniel and he's got to be one of the best servers we've been helped by. Always attentive and always checking in at the RIGHT TIME. We felt comfortable right away and he made it better with his presence. Ambiance and food is always great here but the service we have received was another cherry on top. Thank you Daniel. What a great dinner once again from Hanshin Pocha. Also wanted to add the tall lady who's always wearing glasses and long skirt. She gives me wholesome manager vibes but very attentive and helpful as well. Wish we got her name! Kimchi Jeongol 10/10: spice level is at a medium and tolerable. Fried Gizzards with fries: 9/10 - flavor is amazing and addicting. Perfect pair with your alcoholic drinks. Giving it a 9 cuz it could get quite greasy but the flavor was just too good to not eat it. read more

Such a fun spot for good Korean food in Temescal! Would recommend coming with a group so you can try more dishes. I've been meaning to come by here to try their raw marinated crab, and finally had a chance to do so last Saturday. My party of 3 came for an early dinner around 6, and it was quite empty when we arrived. I think this spot is definitely more popular for late night drinks and food. Because it was early, we found free street parking easily a block away. I loved the vibes here. It's a large space with plenty of tables and booths, and it didn't feel cramped at all. They really blast the music (mostly American pop songs while we were here) so I loved the ambiance. The menu has a good variety of options (not much for vegetarians though, sorry!). I appreciated that there were pictures and clear descriptions for every dish, so even if you're not super familiar with Korean food like I am, it was easy to decide what to get. We shared: Soy sauce raw crab ($35) - this was SO good! I didn't see it on the menu, so we had to ask for it directly from the server. They have both spicy and non-spicy versions of this, and we opted for the non-spicy version because I'm a spice wimp. It comes with gloves for everyone, which is very necessary since it gets messy to squeeze the crab meat out. While the raw crab meat is creamy and tasty, it is quite salty, so you'll definitely want to eat it with rice. We actually ordered a second bowl of rice for an extra 2 bucks because we found one to be not enough. Chicken and green onion muchim ($18.95) - pan fried chicken served with a spicy chili sauce and a wasabi-based sauce. I didn't like it that much as I found the chicken a bit bland without the chili sauce Korean fried chicken - garlic and pepper ($28.95) - solid KFC, what can I say? My friends and I were all pretty impressed with this dish and devoured it. Also, portions are huge since you're getting a whole chicken fried. We all really enjoyed the food here. I'd love to come back with more friends so we can try even more items! read more

Super fun + authentic pocha to get some drinks and finger foods with friends in the area. Only thing for me would be that a lot of things are pretty pricey. I would come for the nightlife vibes, splurge on drinks mostly, and only get small finger foods like jeon and chicken for a night out here. read more

As far as I know, this spot is the first in the SF/East Bay Area to offer authentic Soy-marinated Korean raw crab--a true delicacy and a must-try in Korean cuisine. Originating from LA's Korean town, this restaurant recently expanded to the Bay Area. While they offer some traditional Korean fare, the vibe and menu here seem to cater more to the younger crowd. Open late every night with a bar-like atmosphere, they serve trendy street-style Korean dishes popular among younger Koreans. Surprisingly affordable, the marinated crab is fresh and delicious, embodying quintessential Korean flavors--an acquired taste due to its rawness and texture for most people, but I would say, worth trying at least once. Raw crab: 10/10 Rice ball (vegetarian): 8.5/10 Pork belly + melted cheese: 8/10 Excited to return and explore more dishes like the hot pot and seafood pancake from their extensive menu! Special shout-out to the friendly and sociable waitress with glasses--she made our experience even better! read more

I had a great time at Hanshin Pocha! We came on a Wednesday night and were seated instantly by the server. The place was dim-lit, I was nervous it would be bar-like but the place was still pretty open. We ordered the Chicken Feet with Rice Balls, BBQ Pork with Cheese, Chicken with Scallion Salad, Stir Fry Seafood, and Soy Raw Marinated Crab. This was my first time trying raw marinated crab, and it was SO GOOD! The crab was cold and had a nice sweet soy flavor that paired so well with rice. It was jelly-like and melted in your mouth. I also really liked the Chicken with Scallion Salad. They had a chili oil and wasabi dressing on top which made the entire dish so much more elevated. The chicken itself was grilled and tender. I thought the BBQ pork was also very well done. It was spicy and the cheese helped add more creaminess to complement the spice. However, it was heavier and I was only to take a bite or two. The stir fry seafood was also good, but it wasn't anything special. The seafood were flavored well with this soy-based sauce, and the noodles were crispy. The chicken feet were not my favorite though. It was incredibly spicy, which is fine, but the feet had too much of a chew to it. I think all I could taste was spice and was not able to enjoy the meat as much. But definitely the rice balls were very delicious. Overall, I had a great time and would definitely go again for special occasions! read more

Came here for a friends bday and they accommodated us pretty well. We had a large party and broke up the checks but it really wasn't an issue for the servers, which I really appreciated. This place had such good vibes inside too so it was the perfect place to go for a bday. Now the food - let me tell you it is BOMB! We got the Pork bbq with cheese (10/10). This is one of the popular menu items and I can tell why with the cheese pull and spicy meat combo. We also tried the Bulgogi tteokbokki (8/10). It was very tasty, I just wish it came with more rice cake and beef. They also have soju and soju towers. read more

This is definitely a poppin place to be at, it's in north Oakland so the area isn't too bad. Waited maybe 20 mins for a table. Make sure you come here early! We got here around 8ish, because it does get super busy here! This place is has a lot of young folks here eating and chatting it up. It's not too far from UC Berkeley so I def understand how this could be the go to late night spot. We only ordered the marinated crabs because I haven't had any in a long time and was so happy to see them offer this. The spicy marinated crab was so good!! Had so much flavor and it was kick in some spice in it!! I highly think you should order that one it's by far my favorite out of the 2. The soy marinated crab actually threw me off because when I think of "soy" like soy sauce I think of salty. Maybe I'm just used to the salted soy crabs like how a lot of SEA eat so this one took me by suprise. It was more on the sweeter end. It wasn't my favorite but it was def good. For 35$ a plate you get a good amount and the quality is good and fresh, no stinky fishy/ sea water smell and the flavors are there. We only came for the crabs but next time I will have to order more since the menu has some good stuff I wanna try. Overall I think you guys should come, not only is the food and ambience nice, but there are cute people who come here too and staff is so friendly read more

Disappointed in the Tiktok advertising We came here early on a Friday night. There is no way to call you back so you have to wait there. There were about 6 parties ahead of us. We were excited to try a new place but were incredibly disappointed. The pork and cheese came out 30 mins after we ordered but we expected a wait since it was so busy. We were confused why the raw marinaded crabs were taking so long because they are supposed to be marinated the night before to make it safe to consume. The owner wrote in another review that they ran out of items that needed to be prepped on the fly.I hope they didnt serve us crab they prepped before serving but the flavor was so light i think they might have. The other food took a long time to come and when it finally did the female waiter with glasses said something rude to us about waiting for all the food. I understand she was busy but no coming to check on us and giving us additude was uncalled for. The food was good but pretty spicy. For some people in my party it was untolerable. They also dont disclose all of the ingredients on the menu. We thought the chicken would just have green onions but were met by a spicy wasabi sauce on top which made it hard to eat. read more

Really expensive for pretty average food and unimpressive service. It was kinda like food in a boba shop at literally double the price. The waiters never opened their mouth other than to say "Thank you" as we left. We were only one of two tables inside so it felt very empty. read more

Came here because we heard great things about their food. We tried the Korean fried chicken and what's odd is it came out less minutes. Never the less we decided to eat it. Sadly it seems like it was already fried and refry again. Usually when we get fried chicken it will be around 15 mins or so and when it comes out it should be really hot and crunchy. We did not get that. It wasn't crispy nor crunchy, it was not hot or fresh... we mentioned it to the server and the manager however they said we sat under the vent so that's why the chicken isn't as hot. Hmm long story short we're disappointed. The atmosphere is great though ! Super clean inside ! read more

Spicy lovers unite! Yangnum fried chicken - sweet, spicy, tangy, savory sauce crispy crunchy double fried skin and the juicy meat were all perfect, just like Vons Mandu - crispy skin dumplings, a Lil reminiscent of Ling Ling with extra tapioca/ rice flourish fried crust was a good mouth feel. Chicken feet - full of collagen for good skin, even the soup coagulated when cooled and you know it's both good and bad for you. The healthy collagen mixed with the ultra spicy peppers. This did not turn out well coming out the other end but was very tasty. Had this with the DIY rice balls to cool my tongue down Atmosphere was lounge like, like an Asian club Service was friendly though we could've had some more check ins for napkins (very messy or sticky foods and had to grab napkins from other tables Overall I think I would be back but with a larger group , it would also be a good place for casual drinks read more

Spacious and lively ambience, ideal for groups. We celebrated my bestfriend's birthday here and they accommodated for a large group of 15+. We called our reservation the night ahead so I'd plan early since the weekends are packed. The highlight was the food, everything was sooo tasty but what came to the top for me were definitely the steamed eggs and the seafood tteokbokki! A nearly perfect experience until our server got snappy with our friend's question. They seemed overwhelmed managing a big crowd, but the challenging communication was unnecessary. That dampened the experience and knocked a star off for me. read more

I didn't realize that "pocha" is bar food. I was initially surprised by the limited menu and lack of KBBQ meats. Most items are also quite spicy and/or salty, but it makes sense since the food is meant to be paired with drinks.

Came on a Friday shortly after they opened and were seated immediately, it's a big space with lots of tables for groups. We ordered the kimchi fried rice, the whole fried chicken, spicy bbq pork with cheese, and the donkatsu. Everything came out piping hot, and was delicious! It was more than enough food for four people and easy to share. The dishes with cheese were so good, eat it fast though because it'll start to harden as it gets cooler. The flavors of everything was great and the fried items were crispy. A great place to come and catch up with friends! read more

Hands down one of the best places in Oakland for Korean comfort food! I came here because I was dying to try spicy marinated crab -- it did not disappoint at all. The crab is so soft and tasty, perfect to eat with rice and seaweed. The spicy chicken feet were tender and fell right off the bone, just a bit spicy but really satisfying. The pork mozzarella fondue was super rich and cheesy, and the fried chicken was crispy yet juicy. The menu is super solid overall. Great place to satisfy your late-night Korean food cravings.

Hanshin Pocha在南加一直很火，今天来oakland居然发现这边也有，馋辣鸡爪的我赶快冲了一波，但不知道为什么这家店没什么人，总体来说我觉得还不错。但大家多穿点，他们家冷气开太足了，我真的被冻傻了 Hanshin Dakbal 要不是因为我不太能吃辣，直接4颗。这个鸡爪炖了超过1小时，所以没有办法调节辣度，我太久没吃，都忘记了能有多辣，真的直冲天灵盖。但鸡爪真的好好吃！炖的非常烂，入口即化，但是鸡脚筋有很有劲道。非常推荐大家宵夜喝酒吃这个聊天～ Yangnyeom Chicken 这个炸鸡还挺好吃的，是辣甜酱，但是炸鸡外壳不是焦脆的那种，然后鸡没有那么juicy，但不会很干。看大家喜欢～ Fried Rice 我个人感觉是正常的紫菜炒饭，有一些泡菜味，但没有很浓厚，紫菜味很重。我觉得无功无过吧，但吃完辣鸡爪，再吃这个真的有点救命，太辣了。 Stir-Fried Squid 这道菜推荐系数不高是因为我觉得太辣了（有可能是辣鸡爪的余辣），就是我其实尝不出来其他的味道，能出辣的小伙伴们可以告诉我一下这道菜到底是什么味道的。 Beef Soft Tofu Jjigae 首先用料很足，满满的牛肉和豆腐，居然也是辣的，我真的疯了。他们家这个汤是家的辣椒粉，不是辣椒做出来的。但我觉得是好喝的，有种越喝越想喝的感觉。 Seafood Chive Pancake 我不会说这个是我的最爱是因为它是唯一不辣的，然后我喜欢很焦脆！一口都能听到咔咔的声音！配上他们的酱料也不会觉得干巴～我还是很推荐的 总体来说，就是真的辣但好吃！我们差不多9点多离开的人才陆陆续续开始来，找宵夜的小伙伴们可以来一波～ read more

New hot spot in Temescal! Perfect for your late, drunk nights with the dim lighting and pop music. Came across this spot randomly on Yelp and saw it had just opened about 2 months ago. Boyf and I came here instead of going all the way to Daeho in SF. To our surpise, it was a very very good decision. MUST ORDER: Spicy bbq pork and cheese. That cheese pull will not leave you disappointed. It will bring so much satisfaction to your mind and tummy. The meat is seasoned so well and pairs amazingly with the cheese. Optional but highly recommended: Soju. Service here was fast and attentive. Chatted with one of the waiters about how they are newly open and I know this place will soon have long lines coming in the door! read more

Love this place and it reminds me so much of a Korean Hof/Pocha. We got a few items with Korean rice wine (makgeolli), which was a perfect combo on a hot day. The spicy pork with cheese was balanced with the cold rice wine, made it a perfect drinking food. Also got that seafood pancake, one of our staple items and the DIY riceballs (jumeokbab), which was fun to make. One good thing about this place is that they open late so if you want some late night drinks and food like in Korea, this is the place for you. Great ambiance with lively atmosphere and music being played. read more

Personally, I don't find it very spicy. Love mixing the crab meat and sauce into rice and adding some crushed seaweed. So good! DIY Rice Ball Golden tuna rice balls are a must! You can make them smaller, but we were lazy and made four giant lion heads Fishcake Soup Soup is fresh, but the fishcake texture is a bit firm--kind of like tofu. Gummy Bear Soju Surprised they serve soju with gummy bears! Definitely eat the gummies after drinking--somehow tastes even better! read more

This spot is great for a meet up with a big group for drinks all night. The vibe is fun with the kpop music playing in the background along with their modern booths and tables. I am currently eating vegetarian, so I can only rate their non-meat items. Both rice dishes were great. The fried rice is more on the spicy side, so I would caution those who don't do well with spicy. The DIY rice balls were great. It is radish, seaweed, kewpi mayo, and rice that you mash and form into a ball. It's fun and taste great. The omelette was disappointing. It kind of tasted like kraft cheese placed inside then egg, so I was a bit thrown off. I would want to compliment the server staff. Our waitress was super attentive and the dishes we ordered came out very quickly. That's what you would want out of a Pocha. read more

Hanshin Pocha brings a new Korean bar/restaurant experience to the Temescal neighborhood in Berkeley that was a little underwhelming. From the Korean celebrity chef Baek Jong Won, Hanshin Pocha is the fourth of the chain but first in NorCal. I had heard good things about the restaurant in Los Angeles so I was super excited to give this place a try. On a Saturday night around 8pm, the place was busy. Luckily, my friend and I were able to get seated pretty quickly. The place has a divey feel with red lights providing the mood lighting and 90s R&B playing. The menu had typical items at a Korean bar like stews and chicken feet! They even had some more Chinese leaning dishes like seafood stir fry and jjampong (seafood stew). I wasn't particularly blown away by the food but it did seem like most of the other people were there to drink. Here is what we ate: Korean Barbeque Pork with Cheese (3/5): How can you go wrong with spicy pork paired with mild melted mozarella cheese? I liked this but it definitely felt like there was mostly fatty pieces. The table next to us ordered it and had their cheese blowtorched to get that extra char! The dish was fine, but seeing that made me wonder what could have been, Gyeran Gaesal Tag - Egg and Crab Soup - (3.5/5): Very homey dish that was surprisingly nice to have to counter the heaviness of the pork dish. Probably would also pair well with some soju. The only downside was that it was salty. Also note that the crab is the imitation crab! Given it recently opened and on a busy Saturday night, I would say they did overall well but was inconsistent. They probably need more time to get enough staff because the people working did seem to do their best. Parking is limited in the Temescal area but if you drive around you should be able to find some street parking and be able to walk over. Overall, Hanshin Pocha is a decent Korean spot that is probably better suited for drinking than it is for eating. read more

Food was amazing. The chicken feet was as spicy as advertised. Next time I will order more beer as it's very much needed. However service is a bit funny. There was a loooooong time between dishes. Since my 10 year old can't eat spicy so he had to wait til we were almost done eating before the fried chicken dish arrive. Maybe it's just that they are still new and still need to sort out kitchen logistics. read more

Oh my lord, best Korean spot I've had in the Bay Area. Everything ordered was perfect. Gizzards: garlic is so flagrant and present and so perfectly cooked not to the form of a crispy chip. Salad is a ketchup mayo mix which was surprisingly good to pair with the gizzards Pork belly: spice level was perfect to go along with the dip of the cheese making it the perfect combo. Even if you can't handle heat, just suffer a litttle through it because you will be amazed with the bight. *STAR OF THE SHOW* Chicken Feet: I first saw this from Ester Choi from heateaters and I must say the heat lives up to the hype. Just perfect finger food to suck up all the spice. Ps. Not a fan of how so many reviews gave them a lower rating because of the spice level. I do understand this is a pretty spicy dish but It's not like a ghost pepper where it lingers uncontrollably for 10 mins. You can keep digging in with the burn still in your mouth. If you love a good thrill/high from spicy food, this is a must order dish. read more

Food: 5/5 Service: 4/5 Price: 4/5 Atmosphere: 4/5 TL;DR: Looks like such a fun spot to come & have drinks with friends at night. There's plenty of tables & booths but it still feels quite spacious and love the vibe they have going on. We came for dinner during the weekday so it was fairly empty and no wait for a table. Parking can be hard to find since it's only street parking and it's in a busy area (but park in the walgreens down the street if you have to lol. They have a huge menu and I loved how there were pictures for each item. Everything is a little on the pricier side but for how good it tastes, I think its worth it. The staff is really nice, but for how empty the place was, the service is quite slow. So far, one of my favorite pocha places in the bay. Definitely want to come back here at night with more friends next time! Fried Rice: *3/5*: personally not a huge fan of this because it was incredibly spicy. I believe it's made with the dakjjim sauce but it was way spicier than it needed to be. The flavor of the fried rice is good but your mouth is burning after one bite. Even my friends who eat pretty spicy thought it was too much. Also, I wished the bottom of the rice was a little more "burnt" Soy Marinated Raw Crabs: *4/5*: This was really good, not as good as what you could get in LA obv, but pretty good for when you're craving marinated crab. The meat is really creamy and packed with umami and great to eat with rice. I also love how it came out on a bed of sliced green onions which you could eat with it. Cut the richness of the crab & super delicious since it's soaked in the sauce too Fried Gizzard: *5/5*: This is was my favorite thing of the night. It comes with deep fried gizzard, onions, peppers, and french fries. The fries were super soggy but it soaked up all the flavor so still good. The fried gizzard was so delicious -- the batter is very flavorful and crispy and the gizzard is soft yet nice and chewy. This would be perfect as a late night drinking snack -- def ordering this every time Sweet & Spicy Fried Chicken: *4/5*: The fry on this was amazing -- super crispy and yummy, even though it's covered in sauce, it's still so crunchy. The sauce was really good, but reminded me more of a Chinese sweet & sour pork sauce, it wasn't spicy at all. And they give you A LOT -- looks like a whole chicken. We took a little more than half home, and eating it as leftovers, we still couldn't finish it all. Overall, personally not a huge fan of this sauce but my friends loved it Chadol Sundubu: *2.5/5*: This tasted more like yukgaejang with tofu added to it than it tasted like sundubu. The meat was soft & tender & I liked the veggies in out. However, it has this weird Chinese medicinal herb / medicine taste to it that I couldn't quite get over so not a fan of this. They do give you a lot though so for the price, might be worth it to try. read more

Really enjoyed the ambience as my a group of friends and I came and got to eat family style trying different items. I really recommend their udon and their spicy chicken as well. The servers were kind and helpful with all our requests and needs. The fried rice was at a really great price but spicy, so I hope you have a good spice tolerance (for all their dishes!) read more

Unique Korean restaurant nestled in Oakland. This place is legit and they're open for lunch on Friday and the weekends! They have stuff that is not common. It's not just the same old Kalbi or fried chicken. Soy marinated crabs were delicious. Fried gizzard was perfectly breaded and absolutely scrumptious. Fried chicken was perfectly fried, light breading on the outside, super tender flavorful chicken inside. Service was friendly and attentive Plenty of seats in the restaurant but still feels spacious instead of cramped. Definitely recommend this spot. read more

I'm going to guess this is one of those spots that is really hit or miss for some folks. We were here at 6pm on a Friday, ordered our food right away. However, by 6:30pm we had no food and the tables who were seated long after us were ordered and fed. We inquired several times to our waitress who was apologetic. By 45 minutes in, we watched as the table next to us (someone who came in 30 minutes after us) receive a bunch of the same dishes we ordered. Asked the waitress again and she was very apologetic. A man from the kitchen came out and claimed our waitress did not input our order. But she even showed us several times to confirm our order over the 45 minutes. He was really flippant about it and was like, "do you want the food or not? I can try and rush it for you." So then in about 60 minutes (1 long hour) into our experience, the same man from the back came over and served us food that we did not order! Ack. So frustrating. He asked us to show him our order on the menu so we went through it again. Another 15 minutes passed and now it's been over an HOUR since we arrived with no food. The food we did receive was indeed rushed - it was all lukewarm, and the squid was SO undercooked that it required another 20 minutes at the table to start to boil. We finally just had to leave. The waitress was nice but this place is understaffed and while they gave us 20% off for having to wait 1.5 hours for our food, the staff in the back was not very friendly. We received: 1. Spicy squid that never got cooked 2. "Spicy" pork and cheese - the pork was lukewarm and NOT spicy. Very disappointing. 3. Gizzards - so overcooked it's was like jerky and cold!! 4. DIY rice - this dish was good. read more

Chicken feet and spicy pork with cheese are both super amazing! We went there three days in a roll cause we just can't stop thinking about their chicken feet. read more
