    Found this Pocha on Google while I was in Flushing last night. Been to a couple different ones nearby but wanted to try a new place. The ambiance is definitely 90s old school with the music and decor they had going on. They have a decent amount of seating and a backyard with heated lamps. The prices are slightly more expensive here, and there aren't that many small appetizer choices. I believe the cheapest food item was $14.99 which is a bit steep, especially if you are just looking for small food items to munch on while drinking. I can't speak to the food quality but the drinks/pocha vibes were very on par and the service was great!

    Very cute vibes instead that I didn't expect looking in from the outside. Great for a group of friends for late night drinking and snacks! We got a couple of things to snack on to pair with our soju and beer and everything was very tasty. Would say something's are overpriced but that's expected when you go out for drinks.

    Stopped by here for the first time after my night flight and wow, so impressed by the lady who served us. She was incredibly kind and patient with our orders, food, and everything. The tofu stew was great and it was a killer combo with rice. Great vibes here and would love to come again.

    Excellent food, service, and pub atmosphere, and probably where all Koreans go at night for a drink with friends and some comforting food while you're at it. Fairly new restaurant with a caring attentive staff. We called and made sure they were closing at 2AM so we could come in for some late night stew. We were treated to some chilled white daikon/kimchi soup while we waited for the food. The army stew and seafood stew were presented on table gas stoves. Out of the two, we preferred the army stew with ramen noodles, pork slices, sausage, veg, onion, and spam bubbling away in a slightly sweet mildly spicy stew similar to tofu soup. Perfect with some perfectly cooked Korean rice. The seafood stew had a variety of shellfish including crab, mussels, giant clams, with veg and firm tofu to soak up the intense broth. Good hearty food. tl;dr get the army stew spicy and maybe try to ask to add some more sliced pork. Definitely the atmosphere to get an alcoholic beverage to go with the food. Immaculate service. Can't wait to return.

    I came to Pocha Pocha with 6 other friends for college reunion and had a very positive dining experience. I was able to make a reservation 3 hrs ahead and find a parking spot around 3 blocks away in the neighborhood near by. The restaurant owner was super hospitable and treated us free soda! I would definitely visit Pocha Pocha again in the future

    The service and food were great! The place was cozy, very festive and welcoming. They are very friendly and approachable, however, I just noticed that the hostesses were very touchy to men. This is somehow inappropriate especially when you're dating the guy that they're touching too much. It may seem a friendly touch, but still not appropriate.

    Their food is okay but the server is not friendly. If you really like friendly with delicious food, don't recommend!

    Great service! When you walk in, it feels like you want to immediately be part of a k-drama.. drinking late night beer and eating great food with your crush or your good ol' buddies. The staff kept checking on our table and mentioned they are new restaurant. Good portion of food for the price. It's so nice to have people who care about their customers in NYC!

The menu was a joy to read and it was soon obvious that we weren't going to go wrong with anything we ordered! The Han dumplings are *chefs kiss* y'all need to order them for sure. For my main course I went with the LA galbi. I had a hard time eating the steak with my chopsticks so I ended up using my hands, (our waiter said that was normal, but he may have just been nice) because the flavor was so good I didn't want to leave any meat uneaten. Seriously some of the best flavors of my life!!! Though I'm still learning how to eat green things I bet the salad was amazing too!! The restaurants vibe was so much fun, we feel very grateful to have been able to eat at Her Name is Han and will recommend it to anyone who asks. 100/10 would recommend :)

Walked in, they flipped the cup and filled our water cups and then refilled our water after filling our cups. Very thoughtful. They also brought extra napkins after the dishes started coming out. Sides Zucchini taste like Chinese jellyfish . Pretty tasty The kimchi wasn't too strong in flavor but it was a pretty good flavor Fishcake tastes like aji ichiban. Sweet. Broccoli decent. Roasted garlic flavor Bossam was decent. Could be a bit more tender but has plenty of flavor. Wish it had bigger pieces of veggie and more. Can't even wrap the meat Spicy raw marinated crab Felt like it was hard to find the meat with all the sauce The sauce was very enjoyable , perfect amount of flavor, spice and sweetness Crabs did feel very fresh and sweet though Kimchi pancake was pretty decent in flavor and came with an egg on it but no sauce. It was lacking a bit of umph which I believe could've been achieved with a sweet and salty sauce/dip Seafood stew felt very light in a good way even with its spice. The flavor is good and you can taste the freshness of the ingredients I wish the egg which was in the stew was a bit more runny in the stew. I added the egg from the kimchi pancake into the stew and it vastly improved the dish. Portion size of the pancake and bossam felt pretty small though Corn bingsu Pretty decent. It's about a 1 person serving or 2 if everyone is pretty full The also layered it so that it wasn't only flavoring on the top. Even the bingsu ice part was sweet. The corn flakes were very crispy and the corn cream was good almost milky like white chocolate . Very refreshing after the meal The food was decent overall but did not really feel justified for it's price. The price felt very high for what I felt it was worth.

We ordered their large beef package which was more than enough for four people. We even had some leftovers! The meat was so tender and practically melted in your mouth. I especially loved that the waiter cooked and cut the meat for us. Their side dishes were fresh and well-seasoned, too. I also loved how spacious and clean the restaurant was. The whole space felt luxurious and upscale which made the experience feel extra special. Another thing I really appreciated was that I didn't leave the restaurant smelling like Korean BBQ! It is on the pricier side, but if you're looking for high-quality Korean BBQ with excellent service and a luxurious atmosphere for a special occasion, this is a great place to go. It was worth every cent!

We got the large set for 4 and there was more than enough food for everyone. Didn't order any drinks, but the meat quality was excellent, and our server cooked everything pretty well so we could just sit back and enjoy. The service was top-notch too. They kept bringing out refills of the side dishes including steamed egg without us having to ask, which I always appreciate. We made a reservation, which I'd recommend especially on a weekend, and got seated right away with no wait. The set also came with vanilla ice cream at the end. Another nice bonus is that if you pay in cash (there's an ATM inside), you get about 10% off. If you don't mind spending a little more for really good quality and service, I'd definitely recommend this place!

Sat at a high top by the bar and had a fairly light dinner. The Beef Tartare comes out with a cracked quail egg for you to pour into the meat yourself and the beef sat on top of sone sliced pear. It's a small appetizer but it tasted fresh and clean, the crispness of the pear matches well with the heaviness of the beef. The cured shrimp was delicious, I'm sad there was only 3 because I wanted 5 servings of it. The uni, roe, and soy shrimp practically melted in your mouth.
