Imagine you're in Midtown and you don't want the night to end just yet. Pocha House reliably serves…read moretwo purposes at this hour, depending on the day of the week. On a slow workday, it's a chill sit-down establishment to have a laugh with your friends. On a Friday or Saturday, it's a lively bar accentuated by all the neon lighting. I'm generally unimpressed by alcoholic drinks but the lychee martini fared above my expectations. It only tastes mild sweet but simultaneously masks most of the alcohol. The S.E.S.ame Dreams tasted similarly light on both the sugar and alcohol. The Pocha Shin Ramen tastes as advertised. It's instant ramen with spicy flavoring with some egg, spam, green onion, and tteokbokki added in there. Standard comfort food but also only $9 -- not bad for a bar. Cute place. Vibrant atmosphere that tends to suit a younger crowd. I might come back to try real food.

Wound up here on a Saturday night for a late dinner and did not realize it's basically a club…read more Like, they had bouncers at the door checking IDs and then we got checked again a couple times during our meal. Apparently that night was their 3 (?) year anniversary, so not sure if this is always the case but they did have a whole live DJ on the main floor. When we arrived there were a couple other tables dining. There isn't much seating inside, and most of the tables ended up being blocked off for bottle service lol Me and my girl were there to eat so we ordered as many dishes as our tiny table could handle! Kimchi Carbonara - TBH this tasted like spaghetti... with some kimchi and bacon. It wasn't bad, but it tasted exactly the way I described it. They should just take the carbonara out of the dish's name completely. I wouldn't order it again, just cause the bacon flavor was really smokey and strong. Spicy wings - These were actually really good! Served with pickled jalapenos, pickled radish, and a cabbage salad! Just make sure you get some rice on the side. The wing sauce was spicy! Not overly, but just enough. It was sweet but not too sweet. I would recommend! Mandu- Decent. Not spectacular, but a good side to round out your meal. The dipping sauce was yummy, a nice sweet soy. Pink Venom - The flavor was so good. Tasted like a pink starburst. If you like sweet drinks, this one is it! Didn't taste the alcohol at all though. Parking sucks so bad, we had to park a couple blocks away and cross some train tracks but we made it! The waiters were so nice and checked up on us even with the whole party going on. The bouncers though didn't pass the vibe check and I didn't really like that we got IDed so many times. We're in our mid 30s lol.. be frr. The whole vibe is fun, they have a full bar and apparently in the back room, it's another bar/lounge scene. It wasn't that type of night for me, but I would come back to eat and hang out if I was in the area. Keep in mind though, the crowd is early 20s!

It's been years since I last visited YD. Like previous visits, I thought it was good but nothing…read moreoutstanding. I ordered the following most recently: Veggie Tofu Soup (T5. Yaechae Soon Du Bu, Galbi (B1), Dolsot Bibimbap (Y2). What's most impressive about YD is their banchan (side dish) selection and taste/quality. They have over 15! Based off the items ordered, I'd give them a 3, but their side dishes increase their rating for me. The tofu soup was super watery, even at a medium spice. I was also very underwhelmed that the only veggies in there were zucchini and cabbage. Bibimbap was average, didn't dislike it but nothing about it stood out. Galbi was for sure the best item, but also not a complicated dish and hard to get wrong; this is the only item I'd reorder. Service was fine/helpful, but a bit inattentive, especially given the number of tables they had at the time. It's a large restaurant packed with many tables, a bit dimly lit without much natural light coming in. There's a small lot in front for multiple businesses.

We let the server…read moreknow that our dog is a service animal, but she continued insisting that we provide documentation. Under the ADA, businesses generally cannot require documentation, certification, a license, or a special vest for a service animal. When the need for the service animal isn't obvious, staff may ask whether the dog is required because of a disability and what work or task the dog has been trained to perform. What really made us decide to leave was how the situation was handled. I was in the middle of a phone call, but the server kept interrupting and insisting on documentation to the point where I had to end my call just to deal with it. We came in hoping for a quick, simple dinner, but instead felt uncomfortable and decided to leave without dining. I understand restaurants need to follow their policies, but staff should also be properly trained on ADA service animal requirements and handle situations like this appropriately.

I have no idea how I've never visited this place before! I definitely need to go back to check…read moredownstairs, but... *insert drool* This place is so yummy! First of all, the food served is exactly like the photos. I got the short rib bun burger and bulgogi gyoza. The burger (omg) had a balance of sweet and salty but also a little spicy. Halfway through I noticed something yellow, it was a pineapple! Usually I have mixed feelings about pineapple with foods like pizza. But this complimented so well. Now, the gyoza. Crispy and you can't go wrong with bulgogi. What I was surprised with was inside I think it was japchae! If you like Korean food like me, I was so excited to see this twist. And yes it was yummy. I seem to get lucky most times and get to meet the owners. That day I met them and they're so nice! I can tell they put a lot of thought into the menu, ingredients, decor, etc. The owners are Japanese and Korean. Hence KoJa! Even this detail was really impressive. I ended up going back because the owner told me that his wife (also owner) created Yang Nyum and it was really good and popular. So I got Yang Nyum, kamikaze fries, and taro boba. The portions were great. But most of all, he was right about Yang Nyum, delicious! I didn't realize the kamikaze fries had beef, so yummy but I definitely overate that day, lol. One other thing I really liked was you could order at the register or kiosk. This is a great way to avoid lines. Once you order they have a screen that shows your ETA (why do other restaurants not have this?). I did go during the day though. So, I can only imagine how amazing it looks at night. Especially after dancing or bar hopping, the food here would pair well. Koja also sells alcohol too though and apparently downstairs is where the dancing is at. Will I go here again, absolutely.

This place is great casual place to try out. Good vibe when walk in. You order at the kiosk and…read moretake a number to be served at your table. we had the following: *Crispy Chicken Rice Bowl w/Fries- - Chicken was lightly breaded and the chicken was moist, fries were good not too greasy. 4 *Masubi- rice was not sticky and fell apart, spam could have been brown little more. 2 *Braised Pork Koja- creatively put together. Love the coconut rice, The pork was so delicious and the fried wonton in the middle was a crafty decision and adds a little crunch when bitting into it. Best way to eat it is to pick it up and bite into it like you would a burger to get the full effect. They do give you plastic utensils for it, but I didn't use them. 5 Overall: 4 Definitely will go back to try more items on the menu!

We also ordered the beef which was so delicious honestly, the best soup I've had in years. I'm so sad that I don't live closer to this place because I would have it probably once a week! Hoping to go back before my trip ends it was that good :) It was me and my mom's first time in and the staff was really nice and helpful. Parking was not bad but also did come on a Thursday midday so not sure what it is usually like. Also, sidenote the restaurant is pretty small. There is some tables in a bar but if you go out a busier time might have to sit outside.

I'll definitely come back here. It's a cute bustling little spot that is clean, has indoor and…read moreoutdoor seating, some parking, and is well decorated. The staff were really friendly and the food came fast. They have quick grab items and sit down menu items. We tried some of both. The chicken pho was prepped and made to be eaten quickly. It already had basil and sprouts inside which can be nice when you're in a rush. They had chili, lime, and pickled peppers on the tables for you to add. The flavors were nicely balanced. My wife got the meatball sandwich and she really loved the bread in particular. In the To-Go options we grabbed the spam and bulgogi gimbap. The spam was excellent, but I didn't like the bulgogi as much. The flavor of the meat itself wasn't as intense as I prefer. We also picked up a commoner rice which was rich and delicious. Lastly we got the braised tofu dosirak. Everything in it was flavored well including the japchae. Perfect portion sizes on everything.

Although this is not an authentic Japanese restaurant the food was good. The portions are on the…read moresmaller side if you are very hungry. I ordered the Large American Kobe Beef with miso and crab broths. It was an average size to feed two people, however I was hungry so I was not full after the meal. The dish came with thin sliced beef, veggies, and choice of noodles or rice. The portion of noodles was very small. The crab broth was my favorite of all the broths and had a nice crab flavor. The meal came with dessert which was a choice of ice cream; I chose the cookies and cream. The chicken wing appetizer was scrumptious. The wings were fried and coated with sauce with lots of jalapenos. Service was good as the employee offered samples of all their broths to assist in making a selection. After the food was served he checked if we needed anything and refilled water. There is indoor and outdoor seating. It was busy on a Saturday evening so reservations are recommended. Free parking is on the street.

Glad my mom suggested it for her birthday dinner or I don't know when I would've ever gone! Service was excellent (both helpful & informative). Since we'd never gone before, we were offered a sample of the broths; this was super helpful and appreciated because I ended up not ordering one of the broths I thought I was definitely going to get. I got the Kobe Beef with Miso & Crab Rieu as the two broths. I was able to comfortably split the large size with my husband, but we probably could've used a slightly larger portion for his sake. (He felt a bit hungry after the meal but noted his stomach had settled.) As a party of 5, two of us shared one pot (or two broths) and three shared another pot. The chicken wings appetizer was very flavorful too! (The server listed three options for wings and we went with the one that included jalapeños.) For noodles, you can choose between instant ramen, fresh ramen or vermicelli. It also came with a small scoop of ice cream at the end of the meal! I think I'll come back for AYCE soon. All the ingredients were fresh and very tasty.

Ttobongee (Manna Bunsik) has officially closed as of May 25th, 2025…read more I was a huge fan of their kimchi spam fried rice, bulgogi beef set, and bulgogi kimbap. I'd also tried their yang nyum fried chicken, Korean corn dog, dduk bok gi, tofu soup, banana milk and Soon Hari soju.

Service was always friendly and great, and I heard that the owners are moving out of state to be closer to family due to illness. Sad to see them go. Wonder what will take its place, until then Natomas only really has the chain Bonchon left for Korean food.

The food is very tasty and the portions are nice. Service was very friendly too. They were so busy today they ran out of beef bulgogi but offered us a generous alternative as an apology. We finished very full and had lots of leftovers. KFC boneless: crunchy with nice strong sauces. Too salty for our palates but very tasty. Banchan: large scoops were given, our favorite was the broccoli, beef bone broth and japchae. Chicken bulgogi set and tofu soup set: both were fabulous. Chicken had a nice char, soup had large pieces of tofu. Dumpling soup: the pork mandu were very yummy. It's a large portion soup. I'm gonna try to come here a few more times before they close. I think the prices are comparable to other Korean restaurants in the Sacramento area, maybe a little cheaper.

He wanted me to enjoy this particular restaurant because they're only open on weekdays. We parked along the Capitol Mall, then walked over. The building is very clean and modernized. Ordering was somewhat easy- the bulgogi burrito (name?) wasn't on the overhead menu but it was on a placard. We got one each; I chose the "meal option" which came with fries and a drink. Took under 10 minutes to be ready. Each came with a small container of spicy sauce (a more liquidy gochujang aioli?). Bulgogi burrito: spicy, tangy, meaty. No skimping on meat. Good balance of kimchi with other ingredients. The french fries and drink weren't necessary. I'm not an "I'll take the meal option" kind of guy; not sure why i went for it this time, honestly ‍ i'd like to try loaded fries in the future, though. I WILL be back and I will be bringing the wife! And we will probably get three (to split an extra) or four (for my lunch the next day)!
