TVs everywhere so it's a great spot to catch a game and atmosphere during the match was fun. Solid draft beer selection. Food was delicious especially the sweet potato fries and you can't go wrong with Korean fried chicken (comes with cabbage salad and pickled radish). I liked the original over the spicy mostly for the crispiness. Our waiter was a bit slammed at times but fair enough given the crowd. There's valet but we found street parking, no problem.

The atmosphere was lively and energetic, making it the perfect place to watch a big game with friends. Everyone was having fun, and the whole place had a great neighborhood sports-bar feeling. We ordered the chicken, tteokbokki, and plenty of beer. Everything was delicious and perfect for sharing while watching the game. We also had the kimchi pancakes as anju, and they were one of the highlights of the meal--crispy, flavorful, and a perfect match with a cold beer. The food, drinks, service, and atmosphere all made the experience special. This was honestly one of the best places I've visited for Korean food, drinks, and watching sports. Even with the disappointing result of the game, we left happy and had a memorable night. I'll definitely be coming back for another game and more great food!

We got seated eventually and ordered fried chicken, stir fried chicken gizzard, and their spicy stir fried octopus w/noodles Bad & ugly: Stir fried gizzard was fine, but their onions did not pair well at all. We thought it was rotten and asked for a remake, which they reassured us that the onions were fresh, and that the flavors probably didn't go together. They didn't charge us and also took the dish away which was a bummer despite the gizzard already not having that much on its plate... forgot to take a photo of that Spicy stir fried squid: I highly DO NOT recommend getting this unless you like mostly veggies. $30+ for ~10 tiny pieces of squid is absurd. I've had better dishes of this elsewhere Overall experience was a huge let down. Although they asked if we wanted to order something else instead, I did not want to risk ordering something else just to be disappointed. They did offer a beverage on the house ‍ BLUF: I only recommend the chicken here. Parking is free and plenty, but at least the dishes we ordered were a ripoff

I've been going to Gopocha with my friends and my group members for a quite a long time, since 2017…read moreor maybe even before that. I think I've been there over 20 times by now. The last time I went was on May 17th last year in 2025. All my group members went together, and we had an absolutely great time. I especially love that they have a private room where just our group can sit. However, if there are more than 12 of us, it gets too cramped to fit everyone in that room, so for larger groups, we would put two or three tables together outside to sit together. All the food and bar snacks here are delicious, but my absolute favorites are the kimchi fried rice, seafood green onion pancake, pollack roe pasta, french fries, sweet potato fries, and clam soup. These dishes are so, so good. The watermelon punch is also amazing. Whenever you go as a large group and order a lot of food, they offer a complimentary service to any customer where you can choose one or two free dishes (they usually give you a menu to pick from the appetizers or cheaper snacks). I really loved this perk, which is why I used to go there so often. Come to think of it, it's been over a year since I last went. I feel like we should definitely go back there for our next group gathering. The staff are always friendly every time I visit, and it's also really convenient and nice that you can call ahead to make a reservation if you have a large group.

The Food: The fried chicken gizzard is an absolute must, and the fresh Eulgiro Golbaengi is bomb (pro-tip: ask for extra green onion).

The Perks: The prices are incredibly reasonable, and they have a free parking lot in the back (such a great perk!).

I arrived at 3:30 p.m. for a 6:00 p.m. World Cup match after being told by the establishment a week…read moreearlier that seating was first-come, first-served and that arriving before 4:00 p.m. would not be a problem. When I arrived, there were only about 15-20 people ahead of me in line. As the afternoon progressed, the line stretched down the street, yet no staff member came outside to communicate capacity limits, seating availability, or where the line should reasonably end. Even more concerning, patrons were not admitted until after the match had already started. The situation quickly became chaotic. People who had waited for hours were understandably frustrated, and many were openly voicing their concerns. Groups were admitted one at a time, creating further delays. When it was finally my turn to enter, I was informed that all tables had been taken and that only standing room remained. I was allowed to look inside before deciding whether to stay. What I observed was particularly disappointing: many individuals who had not been ahead of me in line were already seated at tables. I have no idea how they got in but I suspect they were allowed in through some other entrance. After waiting more than two hours based on the information provided by the establishment, this felt unfair and misleading. Most disappointing was having invited friends to join me for the match, only to have the experience ruined by what appeared to be poor planning and inadequate crowd management. The demand for a major World Cup match should not have come as a surprise. If the venue anticipated significant attendance, additional seating, staffing, and clear communication should have been put in place. This was one of the most poorly managed event experiences I have encountered. At a minimum, I believe the ownership should publicly acknowledge what occurred and apologize to the many customers who invested hours of their time only to be left without the accommodations they were promised. Unfortunately, I will not be returning.

I came here on a Saturday night and this is probably one of my least favorite pochas because of the…read morefood and drink quality.   Firstly the drinks: When we went they were BOGO and around $18 each so it was a pretty good deal for $9 a drink which was perfect for my group of 4. My friend and I split the love bug and it was disappointing. It tasted fruity, but watered down and it felt like there was barely an alcohol in it. I also tasted my other friends' drinks which were also not good. The raspberry beret and the peach paloma were both bitter and not pleasant tasting.   For food, the only decent thing was the buldak. It was cheesy and I liked how they infused the corn cheese into it. The chicken was good and juicy. The tteokkbokki was weird. Firstly, they didn't include the parmesan crisps as they mentioned in the menu. Secondly, the sauce was different compared to other tteokkbokki sauces I'm used to. It was dark red in color, soupy, and oily which I did not like. Thirdly, the rice and fish cakes themselves were very unique in shape. The cakes and sausages weren't that bad and the textures were good, but the sauce was just not it.  Lastly, the ramen was such a scam. For $15, it was just regular shin ramyeon with some mussels, jalapenos and peppers added. For all the food dishes, the portions were all small relative to the price and were not great for sharing in big groups.   The interior was spacious and vibes were decent. The music from the DJ booth was good. The photobooth wasn't working when we visited which was a minus because my friends and I like the photobooths. There's a free and private parking lot next to the pocha which can get filled.   Overall, not the greatest experience at this pocha mostly because of the food and drinks and I would probably not visit again.

I ordered the assorted yakitori, which came with 5 items. I also tried some of their scallops too. Normally, I don't like asparagus, and I also don't like it when it's wrapped with bacon, but when it's wrapped with pork belly, it takes this dish to the next level. I absolutely loved how the flavors paired together, especially with the light texture of the pork belly, since it is so much thinner than a slice of bacon. The grape tomato with pork belly was my next favorite, because the juiciness of the tomato paired with the pork belly brought out a unique balance I really enjoyed. I like the Japanese sausage a lot as well. I think they swapped out the mushrooms for a meat skewer, which was pretty hearty and had a lot of texture to it. I'm not sure what meat it was though as it wasn't listed on the section in the menu. The scallops were really good too. Nice and buttery. My least favorite, but still good, were the potatoes with sugar. The service is super attentive here. They brought our table some snacks and some cabbage as well. The ambiance is nice. It's got all the workings of an Izakaya. It's a cool place to come to.

If you like eel/hag fish, you've got to order this! It comes with a side of sesame leaves you can wrap it in and a bed of onions underneath the delicious fish. I usually wrap it with the sesame leaves and a jalapeno with soybean paste. BAM so good!! We also ordered the octopus stir fried with side of noodles, one of my favorite dishes. Nakji-boggeum!! If you like noodles, seafood, and spicy food like me- order this dish! Service was great, and the owner/worker were very friendly.
