    Garlic spicy chicken
    Su C.

    Like most pochas this is a small and cozy restaurant. The parking situation isn't so great, so try to carpool. In terms of alcohol, don't be expecting wine and cocktails on the menu. They have a great selection of makgeolli and sojus , so enjoy! The staff is very friendly and gives great recommendations. And most importantly, the food is delicioussss! It's as if your Korean grandmother is in the kitchen whipping up all the best korean comfort foods while you sit back and relax with the drinks. Forgot to take a picture of the gamjatang because we were so hungry. But when this chicken dish came out, I remembered! Haha. It was crunchy on the outside drizzled in garlicky sweet and spicy sauce, and juicy on the inside. It has a perfect amount of heat. You may think that the breading is a bit thick at first but it becomes an anju all on its own. Make sure to have some gum or mouthwash after! One thing I regret is getting too full too quickly.... I really wanted to have the clam sunjebi soup.

    Seafood pancake
    Chalita P.

    Stopped by around 6:30pm on a friday and I think we were one of the first tables. It only really starts getting busy 8pm onwards. But even then not overly packed. The vibe is really nice, not loud. You can have conversations with friends. But the food is what's good! Probably the best of all the Pochas around. That's coming from friends who's frequents pochas. They give you complimentary noodle seaweed soup. Ordered: Seafood pancake - was alright. Not really crunchy and lacking flavor. You have to really dip it in the sauce to get something. skewers - were good but not the best I've had compared to a yakitori spot. Chicken was good, the mushroom wrapped in bacon was ok, the pepper wrapped in bacon was also not bad. I think the best call outs were the spicy chicken with cheese and the potato and pork backbone hot pot. Absolutely delicious!

    Trieds new dishes and they were great.The intestines dish was tender and not chewy like some places and the stir fried beef brisket was really good. Their beer options were Terra and Cass, both Korean beer and had a variety of soju options. Great place to hang out and eat but it does get pretty noisy especially on weekends. Do arrive rarly if you want to get a seat at the bar area though...

    Complimentary noodle soup
    David Y.

    Came here with friends on a Friday for dinner (7ish). My friend suggested this spot. We were seated promptly once we entered. The place had a dark and warm vibe to it. Music wasn't too loud so you can have conversations without screaming. Started out with complimentary hot noodle soup, which was really good. Ordered some sort of fried chicken (sweet n sour I think?) dish which was really good. Got the army stew which was also solid. Cheese corn was pretty amazing. And got some chicken and beef skewers, tasty. Overall the food and service was really good. If you want really good Korean food at a low key spot, this is the place. I will be back to try out other dishes.

    Budae jigae
    Cecilia L.

    Mediocre pocha place in town; came on a Sunday night and surprisingly we were the only people there. So if you're looking for a low key place with no lines, I'd come here. They have an interesting set up right next to the amazing katsu curry place, called sazanami which I highly recommend checking out! I'm a person that can handle my spice but their budae jigae [4/5] was the most spicy I've ever had and made it less enjoyable. The broth was decent tho The seafood pancake [3/5] was super bready and lacking taste, dipping sauce for it was rather salty too I really enjoyed their free noodles as a banchan though! Broth was delicious too

    Rolled egg omelette
    Lily T.

    Overall this place was a 4 stars. The food ranged from 3.5 to 4 depending on the items that we had. Limited beer options. They do not have draft beer and only bottle and not many options at all. They give you this noddle soup on the house on the house in the beginning which was pretty good. We had the garlic fried chicken which had an excellent garlic flavor but the chicken itself was disappointing. It was very crispy but there was barely any meat! Bunch of breading with tiny measly pieces of chicken! What was that?! We ate a bunch of just fried dough. We also had the rolled egg omelette and that was pretty decent. We also had the chicken, beef and the shrimp skewers. All were pretty good but a bit pricy for the little skewers that you get. Now onto the vibe, spacious and not overly crowded with music that is not too loud. Service was friendly. Overall a solid spot. I wouldn't mind coming here again

    Took my sister here after shopping cus I wanted to try the spicy garlic and pepper chicken. Glad I didn't take my bil here cus he likes spicy and this would not be spicy enough. Garlic pepper chicken- I knew it was similar to the sweet and spicy chicken but I felt like it was the same thing but maybe a little spicier. Not that spicy and this time it felt like there was too much batter Beef jun or beef pancake- not sure but it's one of the starters. Thin beef, seemed like 4 slices cus in thirds. Not worth $19 but it was good and something on the not too heavy side. I wouldn't get it again Went around 6:15. Service was okay- not bad but not good. Food took forever to come out. We got our dipping sauce and stuff and waited awhile. We weren't that hungry when we went but got so hungry waiting. I do love that the food comes out hot. It slowly started getting busy. Left around 7 and the bar area was packed and there were like 5 tables with customers and then at least 5 people came in while we were walking out. I haven't tried it all but I feel like the soup/stews are good. Parking lot was packed when we left. Two cars were trying to get parking when there was none

    Coleslaw vom over my pah dak
    Mikyung H.

    This space has been around for more than 20 years. It used to be a bunsik type place, then something else and now more of a pocha place. The place is small but cozy and liked the vibes. Friendly staff who got my jokes and gave us enough space to enjoy ourselves. Got bude jjigae which was good, fried gizzards which was amazing (huge and juicy). Also had the scallion chicken which was ok but next time I might ask to have the coleslaw on the side (see picture for reference). While I appreciate the creativity and effort in the presentation, it looked like lava vomit and did not appreciate that approach. Not for me. I don't like coleslaw, especially when it looks like vomit, poured all over my crunky chicken. Small parking lot

    Garlic and Pepper Chicken (boneless)
    Jason C.

    I don't understand how this place gets terrible reviews because My Way is SOLID! Parking: never an issue during weekdays but Fridays and Saturdays are dicey. I recommend coming between 7-9PM. Service: The service is what I prefer. Because I traveled to Asia frequently, I'm used to not being swamped with questions. They're attentive but not pushy. Other restaurants, take note! Ambience: I felt as if I was transported to a restaurant in Seoul. The place is busy but not too hectic and you can actually carry a conversation without shouting. Food: This is the first Pocha I visited in Jersey that I genuinely want to visit every week. The ribeye skewers are fantastic. I could easily eat a few with a bowl of rice for a quick bite. My go-to orders are the cheese buldak and garlic pepper chicken (the latter I HIGHLY RECOMMEND). The kimchi pancake is a solid 8/10 as well. Another dish I truly love is the beef pancake. They have spring onions as a topping and I couldn't get enough. Portions are big so I'll say visit with at least three people. Please support this local Pocha!

    The service was better than the food. For the price you're paying, the food was very subpar and missing components to its tastes. Probably won't be back.

    Such an authentic korean restaurant/bar. I did not try many of their menu but like the vibe of the restaurant. I tried clams with beef and it was good but clams were kind of chewy 4 stars. Tried some other menus too but nothing impressive. Overall satisfied and will go back sometime later!

    Live octopus
    Craig R.

    Great experience always looking to try new things. Our water explained everything really good gave us the background on the style of restaurant they were. We were eating at midnight and being adventurous he suggested the live baby octopus. It came came with 2 sauces Cho Chang is what he spelled a slight spice to it and sesame oil with salt and pepper. The octopus was delivered at 4:00pm the day we had it it was still moving a mild flavor slightly chewy but very good. The yakitori is good not covered in sauce. This place is a must try

    I made a reservation a week in advance to celebrate a birthday party here. We went to check several…read morekaraoke spots in the area, and found this one to be most cost effective ($40/hour for 4 guests, $5/hour for each additional guest), nicer rooms and a fantastic food menu as well, since also had a restaurant section. Added benefit, they had their own parking lot, fitting about 10-12 cars right in front of the 3rd floor entrance thru the private parking lot. Once we arrived on Saturday evening, the manager took us to their biggest room since we had about 14 people. The room was cozy enough. All guests were able to see the TV fine. The music/lyrics were played through Youtube, so it was easy to search and play them. The microphones and sound systems worked fine too. We were the only ones in the karaoke room around 7pm, but by 9pm all their rooms were full, so was the restaurant's dining space. During the party, we ordered a bunch of drinks and food items. They had a call-in button in the room that notified the manager to come in. The grape slush bowl were massive hits among our friends. Ube rice wine also good. Among food onion rings, fresh fries, cheese sticks, fried (pork) dumplings, chicken wings, chili shrimp, and cream shrimp all were good quality. I loved the fried gizzards, takoyakis and butter roasted squid. They actually served a whole squid that I had to cut in pieces. Throughout the night the manager and rest of staff members provided wonderful service. Being a large party, we had lots of orders and requests, that they accommodated for us. They also kept the birthday cake in their kitchen and when we were ready, they brought it out with a fire cracker on top. We also got plenty of bowls and cups for all of us to share the food, cake and drinks. Originally we had booked for 2 hours, but since everyone was having such good time, we extended for another hour. Highly recommend them for karaoke night or just to enjoy some delicious Korean food.

Nice red cushion sofa and big tables for food. We used the YouTube system instead of the regular code system (key in the song code from the book). Very easy to navigate.

We ordered a lot of food and drinks. I was so busy singing. I really didn't know what were the names of the dishes or drinks. But the soju drink with grape slush was wonderful. Very light. It's shareable size. Came with 4 straws. Also a ube drink that you pour ube juice into a bowl of alcohol (?). Very interesting and great taste. Onion rings were crispy. Takoyaki was not bad. All shareable sizes. Thank you to my husband, my friends and the staff to make it happen!! I truly had a wonderful time.

    What a fun Pocha. Came here after the BTS concert. Luckily we pre booked. Was running a little late…read moreand called them to change the reservations and they were fine with it. Totally packed. There are wooden booth seating and your typical round metal tables when stools that you find at a Pocha. Lots of items on the menu. We picked the half half pajeon that was half seafood pancake and half kimchi. Both were delicious but the kimchi one really stood out. Great taste and nice crisp to the texture. We also ordered the charcoal grilled pigs feet. Came with seasoned seaweed rice balls and bean sprouts. Delicious charcoaled taste with a spicy kick. Totally recommend. Also ordered the stir fried octopus that also came with riceballs and beans sprout. Our least fave dish of the nice was the chicken gizzard. Very dry and tasteless and missing the sesame oil dip that normally comes with this dish. For drinks we ordered the apricot soju. Sugar free but I didn't like the after taste. However this is my niece's favorite soju. I didn't like the fake sugar aftertaste. This place was so much fun. Loved that they blasted BTS musics and videos the whole time. Made me feel totally young and hip.

It was odd that you scanned the qr code to see the menu but you still order via waitstaff. An interesting relic that remains from the covid times. We got the fishcake soup and the korean savory pancake (two flavors: seafood and kimchi). The soup comes with fishcake on a stick as well as ricecakes (duk), a hardboiled egg and udon and they put it over a small heater so it stays hot. The pancake was on the gummy side (could use a bit more filling) but overall delicious. Knocked a star off because service was on the slow side (both to order and to get the check, and our waiter did not really check on us all that much) but other than that an enjoyable experience.

Tonight I ordered the 2 doz calms (always a must) and the steak and lobster tail. It was AMAZING as always. My normal order is the whole lobster but now that they offer 2 tails I always will get that. I'm excited to try the lobster bisque which I didn't try tonight. My only complaint tonight is the waitress came over with a dish of fries for my husband who ordered the baked potato (omg so good also order the baked potato) and apologized for selling out of the potatoes. 5 Minutes later we see the table next to us get their baked potato's with their dishes. My husband was so mad. Don't lie to people when we love your food. Fries could be better. (We left them). And their vegetables are always soggy and not worth eating. Back to the positive the seafood and steaks are always worth looking over the sides. Not the baked potato, keep doing what you're doing with them. Except stop lying to the customers.

Obviously the outside is traditional to the moon but once you go in it is a mix of character and new age bliss.

Unfortunately I wasn't opting for the burger but I was able to get a beer and add a $2 shot to get the most bang for my buck. The tap collection is a great mix. It's one of the few places that has a a selection of local New York Piers, including harp lager, but then you always have your traditional Sam Adams, which this time was a winter white air and of course PBR. The beers come in 10 oz mugs which is an interesting size. They range from $5 to $8 at this moment.
