Late night cravings... With hours from 8am to 2am and a few free shared parking just steps away it's a nice option that we took upon for some desserts...which they don't have btw at all oops lol! Walking in I could hear someone in the karaoke room that right at the entrance is cool the dining room isn't right against it is nice so that we don't have to fight some of the singing and we were able to enjoy our conversation easily. Looking over the menu it's quite a good variety of items that I didn't expect and though my usual go to is the cold noodles I wasn't that hungry and decided on "Glass Noodle with Vegetable Stir-Fry" which is listed under appetizer is quite interesting considering it's a huge portion along with some banchan the vibe here is jus so nice and relaxing considering we're just steps from the craziest intersection of Kapiolani and Atkinson right across from the Hawaii Convention Center. Service here is nice and polite the food came out fast and cooked perfectly and knowing that you're able to have some late night bites is a great option for many to enjoy along with karaoke if you're ever in a party mood. Thank you! read more

Karaoke in Honolulu, Hawaii... Trying out all of the karaoke places in Honolulu, my friend found Masil Pocha on her Yelp app. We all just tagged along. I read reviews on where to park - for free. The lot in front is shared with the Foot massage business. We went on a Saturday at opening time (5:30pm) without a reservation. We were lucky. I think it can get crowded. Located on Kapiolani Boulevard, across from the Convention Center, my first thought was that it's cute inside! The little lights were cheerful and the private rooms were brightly colored! The entrance isn't marked. Just look for the Green "Pass" sign from the Department of Health and the Hours of Operation posted on the glass doors. Service was quite good. We rang the bell inside our room and the guys took our orders and brought the yummy Korean cuisine quickly. Songs were $2 each. We paid cash into the machine and used the remote to search for songs by title. Since it was a weekend, we had a three hour time limit. Sunday to Thursday has no time limit! All rooms have a $50 food/drink minimum daily. It was a good experience and I think we'll be back some day! read more

So, this place was one of the only restaurants open after 10pm on Sunday evening while I was staying in the Ala Moana Hotel. The inside of the place has a strange vibe to it . Kind of dark but not too much. Some random hip hop playing with Anime on a big screen.. The service was really friendly, and I liked that you just had to push a button on the table to get service help. But, the food we got was not the best. I have to say that the chicken was flavorless and the potato pancakes were super oily. Not sure if I would return but thats just me. They are still worth trying out for yourself if you are in the area and want some late night eats. :) read more

Wow! We were running around all day and woke up hungry and were craving some Korean food. We ordered Kimchi fried rice Spicy pork Kimchi tofu pork Everything was just spot on like there was an alignment of the stars and moon. This tastes like my cooking. The flavors played on each other, and the portions were above standard. Yes, we have food for tomorrow, too! Sorry to the Uber eats people that had permeated up their car with the delicious food smell. Luckily, they were Asian. Look forward to ordering again. My friends, the best Korean food, is always late night eating places. read more

We wanted to get some food after eating ice cream... we found this cute place. Frogs everywhere for their decoration. We got Ramen and Chicken wings. The ramen was super spicy and the chicken wings were undercooked. They corrected immediately and took the food back to refry. And added extra rice cakes to help off set the spicy broth. read more

Thanks to Nadine for always helping me attack my list of places to try... Verdict on dishes... Kalbi: 1/5 bland... kind of tough.. spicy chicken wing: 4/5 sweet and spicy and very crispy Steamed egg: 5/5 how do you mess up steamed eggs Potato pancake: 4.5/5 fried potato is never disappointing Fried chicken gizzard 1/5: small pieces and bland They had a nice list of soju options. Karoke is offered for $2 a song and staff was nice. read more

Came back again on Saturday to celebrate belated birthdays with group of 7 and was able to get a karaoke room at 10pm. This time we got the green room and it fit all of us nicely. Stuff our face with tteokbokki and French fries, and wash it all down with soju bombs. Again the servers were all nice and friendly. Sang our hearts out and filled our bellies with food and laughs. It was another fun night here. read more

Hidden gem alert!!! This is a fun place to hang out, grab some drinks and snacks, and sing karaoke with friends! Visited on a Monday night and wasn't too crowded, although I hear Friday night can get crowded. They are relatively new (opened months ago), and they've nailed the atmosphere! It's very nicely decorated and feels very comfy and friendly. I got seated at the bar area and got the big wave draft beer and potato pancake. The waiter serving us gave helpful recommendations about the various menu items. They recommend getting the whole chicken or chicken wings, which I will surely try the next time I visit! The beer was great and the potato pancake surprised me! I couldn't stop eating it! It's simple with just cheese and egg on top but it turned out incredible! They also give you drink snacks like popcorn along with your beer (I'm told they do this in Korea). Next we went to one of the karaoke rooms. They have 2 smaller ones and 2 larger ones. They have both Korean and English songs, and an enormous selection! We sang Break Free by Ariana Grande and Carry On Wayward Son by Kansas... my throat was tired just from that! At the moment it costs $2 / song. With a group of friends I think it's worth getting a karaoke room! Service was very friendly and helpful throughout, from giving menu recommendations to helping with the karaoke machines. Shout out to Jen, Max, and Gabe! Also thx for playing Blackpink songs for me! There's a parking lot outside for a couple cars. I'm not sure where else to park once it gets full? Overall I highly recommend this place as a fun place to hang out with friends. Will be returning to try the soju cocktails and more karaoke! read more

Ordered shrimp fried rice, kalbi, and seafood stew. Great service and the food tasted great! I'm gonna be a regular at this place :)

I ordered popcorn chicken and I can clearly tell they used leftover chicken pieces. The batter looked dark and burnt. You can compare the picture I uploaded to the picture that is already on their Yelp page to see the difference. I ordered through delivery so I wasn't even able to complain directly to the employees/owner. Such a disappointment to the business ethics they have. read more

Masil pocha is a good place to sing. It's pay by song ($2) and they don't charge for a room. Food was ok. Average for bar food. We had calamari, fries, corn. Drinks were normal. We had Korean beer and soju. Service was good. Pretty attentive. I like what they did with the space in terms of decor and room. But this location in general is hard to get to. Not too much parking. I factored in the karaoke part (which I liked) for the rating. Fyi read more

I love this spot! The tables and the rest of the ambiance transported me into an episode of Itaewon Class. I only tried 3 dishes but want to go back and try more. I devoured the spicy pork 5/5 stars it was so tasty over white rice. The ramen , I'd give 4/5 stars. It was basic but I was drunk so it hit the spot. Last, the kimchee fried rice 4/5 it was good but not the best I've had. They also have karaoke rooms you can reserve. The machine is self service and $2 per song. I think there's a minimum spend to be in the room but no room rental fee. The best thing about this place is the service! The workers are all so FUN!! read more

Masil Pocha - Korean Near Me - Urban Honolulu, Hawaii

Masil Pocha is located in Kapiolani Blvd next to Sura Hawaii across from the Hawaii Convention Center. You can find limited parking in the lot with the foot massage place. I visited for the first time last Thursday and I was not disappointed. This spot has a dining room, bar and about 4 karaoke rooms. It's a bit smaller than other karaoke bars I've been to, but that's what I like about it. It felt more exclusive and the service was fast. For food, I recommend trying the Kimchi Fried rice, Corn Cheese, and Potato Pancake with the egg. These were yummy! Everything from food to service was great. The workers are very friendly. The only thing I noticed is that there's no AC or fan in the karaoke room so we would open the door in-between songs. It can get pretty warm in there especially if you have enough people to fill the room. Not sure if it's like this in all the rooms or just the one we were in. Overall, I will be back for the yummy food and good vibes! read more

The service is excellent and the cute little area to eat in is quaint and almost charming but the offerings are a joke. Their only "meat" is spam and the prices are insulting. read more

If you haven't tried this place yet you definitely should. Friendly Staff and Delicious food. Mina & Peter (staff) were the highlight of our visit because they really know how to take care of their customers. Thank you !!! Mina & Peter for a great laughs and a great show of showing how to make a tornado in a soju bottle before opening the bottle. This place has Karaoke rooms and extensive wide range of song selection. If your celebrating an occasion do your self a favor and check this place out. read more

We were at the convention center across the street and were looking for somewhere nearby to eat and stumbled upon Masil Pocha. Everything we ordered was amazing! Kimchi fried rice had large pieces of kimchi that was more on the sour side but we loved it. I'm still training to be able to tolerate spicy food and the waiter did warn us that the spicy chicken wings were on the spicy side and they weren't able to adjust the level but I decided to give it a try and I'm so glad I did! Batter was perfectly flavorful and it was coated with what looked like a crunchy chili sauce. I would say it's more of a medium spicy and when wrapped with the mozzarella from the corn cheese, it took it to the next level. We looked around and there were a few karaoke rooms available as well. Will definitely be back for more of those wings (they were our fave!) and to try out the soju cocktails. read more

First time coming here last night, no one was in the front to greet you. I had to walk back out side to ring the door bell for someone to pop up lol. Servers said they couldn't see from behind the bar. Decor was pretty cute inside. Got seated, we were starving! We ordered cheese corn , butter squid, popcorn chicken, kimchi fried rice , kalbi and fries. Honestly most of the dishes didn't have much flavor. The cheese corn was the best. For the fries we had to send back because they were undercooked. As for the kimchi fried rice we had to send the whole thing back , the server was nice enough to take it of the bill. Don't think I'll be coming back for food but maybe just drinks read more

Masil Pocha - disappointing food for that much - Korean Near Me - Urban Honolulu, Hawaii

Hubby and I just finished a Thai massage. We were looking for a good Korean bar to drink soju. That one restaurant was a 1.5 hour wait. The other karaoke bars were full!! But low and behold we see this Korean karaoke bar!!! Everything was much to our liking!! They had soju (all flavors, I recommend the green grape), squid, gizzard, pork belly and other delicious things!! We had such a BLAST! Lets go drinking read more

Great food and friendly staff! The karaoke room was also a pleasant surprise (great song selection, room, mic system, etc.). The overall restaurant had a pretty good temperature but feel the karaoke rooms would benefit from having a fan/AC unit. read more

Check this place out. Masil Pocha on Kapiolani good food and mixed soju drinks. Make sure on Fridays. Jenny the mixologist and Max. Make it a great Friday always. They have a awesome pork belly dish and kim chee fried rice. And definitely if down for some spicy chicken wings go get it. Jenny is the best bartender there. Only on Friday and Monday tho. So make sure you hit them up! read more

Great spot to hang out after along day. My friends and I enjoyed the food and the service was great too.

Love this place. Such a fun place to grab drinks with friends + the food is amazing. They have a bar with some tables near by and there are also private kareoke rooms. I think both are fun depending on the vibe. The bar/table areas are lively and are perfect for conversation. The kareoke rooms have a $50 minimum and to use them put $2 in the machine per song. The staff here are so friendly and seem genuinely happy to interact with people. My go-tos are the tteokbokki and the friend mandu. The tteokbokki is so comforting, and perfectly spicy and chewy . The fried dumplings are perfectly crispy on the outside and so juicy and hot on the inside. It comes with a dipping sauce that matches the dumpling so well. The kim chee fried rice is hit or miss depending on the day but on a good day it is the best thing on the table. The calamari is also a good food item that I think it worth noting- so juicy and tender. I think the only food item I wouldn't get again is the popcorn chicken because it was really tiny and didn't have much taste. Drinks here are a bit on the pricier side but I think it's worth it for the ambiance and the time spent with friends. read more

We stumbled upon this gem at the end of a long drunken escapade a month ago and we've already come back 2 more times! If you're looking for a chill spot to come and hang with your friends, this place is awesome. Grab some soju, beer, and spicy pork and thank me later. Sing some songs in your own room and enjoy the company of friends, although the karaoke system did take a few tries to figure out and our remote needed tape to keep the batteries in! But once you get the hang of it, they have a decent selection on songs. Overall, the workers there are all super cool and friendly, too. If you find parking in the lot, that's an added bonus. And remember - get the spicy pork. read more

Food is great! Stuff are very friendly, welcoming you with smiles. I will definitely keep coming back !

Love this place. The vibe is nice and chill. Its Not loud and packed with young drunk people like other korean bars lol. Forgot to take photos, but the food was really good and flavorful. The tofu kimchi was especially good. Nothing beats their spicy whole chicken! I washed it all down with some soju and beer. Busy on a friday and saturday night. Was told to book ahead of time to reserve a room. All of the staff were friendly and accommodating. I had the pleasure of meeting the manager as well. Really nice guy with a positive attitude and a charismatic way of making you feel comfortable. I will definitely be back. Check this place out!!! read more

Charlie Charlie Charlie! you made our karaoke night the best! What a fabulous personality you have! From the moment we arrived you made us feel welcome and comfortable! We immediately got to singing.

So darn fun! read more

I apologize for not remembering the guy who helped us name.. but I was here on a Sunday night with my bf and my coworker and her bf and we sat at the bar counter and just chatted with him all night. We came to hawaii for a work event, and wanted to go out for some food and drinks the night we arrived there. This pocha was the closest thing to us that was open late, and also served food and drinks. It seemed like we were the only ones there the entire time, but there could have been people in the karaoke rooms. The guy was so friendly and chatty and helped us get what we needed, and gave us free jinro reusable straws! Haha. We also ordered bossam and kimchi fried rice along with soju bottles and makgeolli. Bossam was well done, but it doesn't come with lettuce.. :( the kimchi fried rice was good, but kind of spicy..?? Like chili oil spicy. Still good, we took the leftovers back to the hotel and still ended up finishing everything the next day. We all had a great time there and would definitely come back next time! Unfortunately I did not take any pics here :( read more

Decided to hit up the new pocha, and they did not disappoint. Food was fire, service was fire, and the environment was great. Our server Da-Yea was super attentive and chill with us. I always judge a pub by their food and it was everything but terrible. Thank you for the hospitality and being so welcoming. We will definitely be back with the rest of the crew. read more
