[[HIGHLIGHT]]Food, service and vibe: 10/10[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Favorites: Army Stew with Ramen, Seafood Pancake, Fried Chicken. read more

My girlfriend and I had gotten back pretty late from a trip out of town and we were both starving. I've been to k-pocha a few times and have always enjoyed it. This time was definitely the best experience I've ever had. The food tasted so good! Service was excellent and lastly the environment is typically lively for a pocha (as it should be) but this time it was a little more quiet than usual which was also nice! My girlfriend enjoyed our late night dinner here and the vibe was great as well! Couldn't ask for more! read more

I have to say--I loved this place! As someone who's big on Korean BBQ, this spot absolutely hits the mark. The food was well-seasoned, and I appreciated having the option to either let them cook it or grill it myself (which I always prefer so I can get the perfect temperature). We had the short ribs along with another beef option--both were delicious. And when it comes to sides, kimchi with rice is always my go-to, and it didn't disappoint here. The service was also stupendous and everyone polite. That said, be prepared: it's definitely on the pricier side, and they don't offer a military discount, which was a bit of a letdown. Still, the quality of the food and overall experience made it worth the visit. read more

One of our favorite places to hit up for some late-night food and drinks! Prices are very reasonable. You have the options of doing your classic table top KBBQ, skewers and just ordering straight from their kitchen if you do not feel like cooking it yourself. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Atmosphere is always a vibe with KPOP music in the background.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Servers are always nice and welcoming! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Its a bit small but can accommodate bigger groups if you time it right.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

The food and vibes here are top tier. We ordered the fried chicken skin, small army stew, bossam, lunch box, and some drinks. Army stew is def my fav! The servers are always a lot of fun and they are super attentive. They usually blast kpop music and there's a bunch of tvs playing music videos. It's a really fun spot with really good food. 10/10 would recommend read more

The quality of the food has gone down since the last time I visited last year. We came here with a big group so we had an area to ourselves. We ordered several dishes so we got a nice sample of the menu. First, the food was salty from the skewers to the wings. The wings weren't crunchy enough so they were soggy fried chicken drenched in sauce. The tofu pork belly was probably the better dish we tried and it was pretty good with rice. Service was quite mid. There are better pub like spots around the area. [[HIGHLIGHT]]This place gets crowded later in the evening.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Came here as a party of 15. We called ahead and while they sat us separately at the front, they were able to accommodate our group and sat us in the back corner where it was more private. The waitresses were very attentive given how busy the restaurant was and we were happy about that. We ordered so many dishes and they all came out so quick. [[HIGHLIGHT]]This was definitely a vibe for a big group.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]We did ask the waitress to turn on the music since it was off in our area and often asked for more water since it was super hot and smoky sitting in the back corner, but besides that we had a great time.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

This was my second time being here. My first time was more enjoyable. We got the army stew and pork belly. The service the second time was not up to par. The ladies never checked on us and we would have to call them for our check, To go boxes and a plastic bag. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place is a fun vibe for sure[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Came here upon the recommendation of a friend to meet up with some other friends. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Upon entering, you totally get that cool, Korean bar vibe. The music is loud and bumping and the alcohol is flowing.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]I had to laugh because damn, this felt like a place I would've gone to in the height of my 20s and had A LOT of fun, but being older now.... it was kinda loud for me, lol.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We were here to drink and catch up with friends so we had a mix of soju, makgeolli, and Korean beer (Terra). They provide you with shot glasses and bowls for the makgeolli and were quick to respond with other requests. They also have Korean food available like tteokbokki, budaejiggae, and more. I got the corn cheese appetizer. It came on a griddle, but unfortunately got cool very quickly. The cheese wasn't melty for very long, but it was alright. It was almost too sweet though. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I liked how the seats opened up and could be used to store your bags.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The "walls" also open up like a garage door and I honestly wished they kept it closed because it was so dang hot -- as in record breaking high temps. 10pm and it was still 79 degrees and it would've been more enjoyable had it been cooler with a/c[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. [[HIGHLIGHT]]By the end of *our* night, around 10/10:30pm, this place was packed with 20 something year olds and overflowing into the sidewalk. It was POPPING and seemed like an extremely popular weekend spot.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We honestly lasted much longer than I thought we would, lol. [[HIGHLIGHT]]This is definitely not the place if you're looking to have a nice, quiet conversation with friends over drinks.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Overall, it was cool and a funny reminder of the good old days.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Thank Sool Pocha is one of my absolute favorite places. This Korean street food / bbq place boasts a distinctive atmosphere that parallels a pojangmacha or pocha.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The seating and tables are round tables with grill set-ups that really capture that vibe.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I have been here many times throughout the time I've been in Denver. This most recent time, it looked like they have changed a few things. There is an ordering device at tables now that you just place your order through. The service is decent. It doesn't take too long for things to start coming to the table. Every order comes with banchan, which are just small side dishes. Here it usually consists of cabbage slaw, lettuce salad, chilled tofu, edamame, and kimchi. Now, my go-to is the Beef Intestine paired with another dish that fits the right vibe. The second dish is either Braised Chicken Feet or Army Stew. I have the Beef Intestine cooked by the kitchen as I try not to mess with the Korean BBQ grill. It is juicy and fatty. The flavor is meaty, savory, and almost marrowy. The Braised Chicken Feet needed this pairing to have a balance for its insanely spicy kick. The chicken feet is very spicy with a wonderful kick and some rice cakes also in its sauce. The intestine was a good buffer between chicken feet bites. The Army Stew is delicious! Everything you could want, that is perfect for colder months. To pair with our food, we usually do somaek, korean beer and soju! Our selection is Jin-Ro Blue bottle soju with Cass. It's a great combo that goes with anything here. [[HIGHLIGHT]]In the summer, they open up their garage door walls and the restaurant is exposed to the great weather Aurora has.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The minor downsides of this place is the limited parking due to it sharing a small lot with other businesses and how far it is from the city, haha. Other than that, Thank Sool is a must-try. It's also right next to a karaoke room place that makes for perfect combo night of pocha and singing with friends in your own karaoke room. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]What a fun place! It was not at all what I expected. Laid back vibe, open air concept, k pop music videos playing but not overwhelmingly loud.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The food was good! I loved the honey garlic chicken. So crispy and delicious. Kimchi fried rice and kimchi pancake were good too. A little on the expensive side, but a nice place to hang out and catch up with friends. read more

After getting to Denver fairly late on a Friday we were looking for dinner after 10pm. My two adult kids, their spouses and wife came in after driving around a bit. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It was crowded and loud. I guess this is what a bar in Korea would be like so TVs everywhere playing urban rap in Korean, under the neon filled dining area with a Blade Runner vibe[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. This place was popping!!! They quickly sat us and my kids informed me they we had to press the service red button to order or get the attention of the staff, otherwise they just leave you alone which is kind of cool. If you don't like rap then you won't like it here, now I had never listened to Korean rap so who knows what they were raping about but the beats were intoxicating! Once the food came it was incredible. Probably the best chicken wings I have ever had. Perfectly cooked inside and crispy outside, we got the butter garlic variety. Ordered a side of fries which were perfect. Star of the show was the ramen soup which was some of the best chicken based broth ramen soup I have ever had. Kim chi rice was good but I had to take out the Kim chi which I don't particularly enjoy. The black bean noodles were not my favorite but that's a flavor preference. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Very hip, loud, and cool place![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

This food is amazing!! If you don't try anything else the chicken is amazing and worth a try! Very juicy and tender, but crispy and well sauced, almost any flavor is good. The tteokbokki could be a little spicier, but it's served over a hot plate so it's fresh and sizzling, they're soft and bouncy and overall well seasoned. And the takoyaki is delicious as well. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It depends on what time but sometimes the music is so loud you can't even talk, only downfall.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The service is just okay, but I go back again and again for the food. read more

Best place, high recommendation!! If you're looking for a place to have dinner, or to celebrate a birthday (whether you're 21 or over, even 18), but don't know where to go, you should come here. Those over 21 will receive a free bottles of soju, and the vibe here is fantastic. You'll get delicious food and excellent service. read more

One of the funniest eating and drinking nights in a long time! Now I'm with Ruba, who's my love, but still.... Great spot! Isaac and TG were amazing servers! They were quick and focused. I was impressed. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Ambiance was super cool, and Asian rap.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] This place is a must for Denver! Sorry about the one pic! I was hungry! Check Ruba's Yelp. She takes pics! And she's mine!!!! read more

I've visited so often since the first time I came here, and for some reason I still haven't experienced karaoke! The K-Pop music videos on the screens around the restaurant never get old, though. It's best to come here with a larger group (at least 4-6 people) and share everything. Not the most friendly place for vegetarians or vegans, obviously. My favorite items to order (aside from bottles of soju) are Kimchi Pancakes, Spicy Rice Cake, and Army Stew. The Seafood Stew, which my pescatarian partner got, was fantastic too. Still haven't done KBBQ here either. Everything is fresh and delicious. Service is very professional. The tables are usually too small for how much we order, but it somehow works out. read more

This place has a cool Korean pocha interior design which makes a good spot for a late night out. They are open until 2am which is a plus! I would say that everything about this place is great - service was awesome with friendly servers, ample parking spaces, and good music playing in the background - except for the food :( All of the food we got was way too sweet. Also considering the price for the food items, I was expecting a bit more bang for your buck. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]From the second you walk in it's a great vibe love the Asian rap music that was playing on the TVs.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Our servers names were Isaac and TG and we like genies popping up as soon as we press the call button. Phenomenal food and they did a great job, guiding us through the menu. We started off with some cucumber salad and some kimchi pancake, followed by some garlic, chicken spicy, honey, chicken and sweet-and-sour shrimp. We had so much fun that we spent almost 2 1/2 to 3 hours there drinking different flavors of Soju and trying the beers. The fact that they stay open till 2 AM and the food is just as great as the service I will make it a point always stop in when we are in town. read more

Fun Korean pub where the Soju is flowing until 1:00am on weeknights and 2am on weekends. HH from 4-6pm M-F is a steal with $8 soju because the price goes up to $13 a bottle after that. Service is super friendly and helpful. There are even call buttons at the table to get service. Upbeat music is playing from the speakers as K-Pop videos play on randomly placed TVs. You can grill your own meat at the bbq tables or have the kitchen whip up one of the many traditional offerings. read more

This restaurant probably has the best fried chicken, also called fired chicken! It was super hot but we got it topped with cheese based on our servers suggestion and we loved it!!! Soo spicy and so good! Regretted not ordering beer with the meal. Also got the rice cakes with side of blood sausage and an order of the seafood pancake! The sea food pancake was surprisingly so good! Portion size is huge and service is not bad. They were pretty full for a weekday. We also saw people get bbq and maybe next time il be back for that. Overall, good food with good service. read more

As a visitor of this great state, it makes me so excited to find gems like this. Being from San Jose, I love a good pojang and Korean bar foods. The most unique thing that I haven't seen back home is a combo of bossam and jokbal (my two favorites). Typically you have to get one or the other. The first time I tried this, everything was perfect. Second time around the jokbal was a bit too fatty for me...but they added cabbage wraps! Overall still very tasty. Their gyeran jjim is bomb as well as their fried chicken (clutch that it comes with the sauce on the side already). Also like how thick and chewy their hangjungsal is (could use a little more seasoning). They definitely don't give nearly enough lettuce with the bbq...but I'm sure they'd give you more if asked. Lots of drink options but we stick to soju and beer (hallasan and cass). Service is super attentive and food comes out fast (although we've only been there before dinner rushes). Decor is fun with classic pojang style round tables as well as standard booths. The mood lighting is a bit too dark for my old ahjooma eyes but I'm sure it's perfect for everyone else. One of these days I'll try the mini karaoke room/booth. That's also something I haven't seen before at a pojang! read more

Korean po-cha 포장마차 vibe. Good service and great 안주 foods!! My favorite Korean restaurant for late dinner. They update their menu with great additions pretty often! Their skewers are very delicious with great seasoning and sauce but very small pieces (quiet pricey). Army stew is pretty delicious. Their samgyubsal is our must have menu as it's pretty thick/good amount of meat for the price compare to other Kbbq restaurants. I also recommend dosirak (lunch box), jumukbop, or spam mayo rice for those who likes rice with their soup. (Last time we had samgyupsal, we mixed kimchi with jumukbop ingredients to make our own fried rice) read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Such a cool spot.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Tucked into a busy strip mall, parking can be tough to find in the lot so just head for free street parking.

Service was spot on and attentive. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The music was so fun![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We'll definitely be back! read more

I'm no expert in K-food or k-pub. But I know the regular dishes. What we had here were a bit off the regular menu. But oh so good! Tofu Kimchi with pork belly. Fried chicken skin-hard to put down. It's chicharrones in chicken skin. Fish cake soup- this clear soup comes with its own portable stove that keeps it hot. This does not taste fishy at all. If you're wondering . It's very tasty though. Blood sausage- this blood sausage has noodles mixed with it and it's soft in consistency. Beef Abomasum beef stomach- this we barbequed table side. I like mine cooked well! Hwayo Soju- Hwayo is the most popular and well-known soju in the premium soju market. This has a subtle note of melon. They posses a Certificate of Inspection from the Arapahoe County. This proves that this establishment is in compliance of the Five Star Recovery Partner Program and may now operate with increased capacity limits as set by the CO. Dept of Public Health. They also serve regular dishes like bulgogi, bibimbap. I want to go back and try more of the regular fare bbq'd! We were expertly assisted by a very knowledgeable and patient staff Calvin. Thx! read more

Super comforting food, great vibes, and service is very quick. Favorite was the army stew! So flavorful, variety of meats, instant ramen noodles, kimchi, spices, lots of onions, and a little cheese to add creaminess. So good Corn was solid, spam mayo was really good as well, and fried chicken was decent. The sauce was a little too sweet read more

The decor was great: Was sat immediately. The food was served quickly. BUT... I wanted to like the food so bad. And it was just not good. All of it was lukewarm. The corn cheese wasn't cooked all the way through, the spam "80s lunchbox" was warm at best. We got tteokbokki and that was the only hot food. But it was also VERY spicy so if you don't like spicy food, it's not for you. Overall i would say it's still a great place to stop in for late night drinks and snacks. read more

We ordered take out here the other day and it was pretty good. We got the pocha combo ($40) which came with the army stew, fried chicken, and cheese corn. The spam mayo rice bowl was $6. Overall it was a lot of food and was pretty good. We would come back in the future! The stew was good and had a good amount of stuff in it however the noodles were soggy due to the amount of time it was cooked and sitting in the broth but I don't blame them for that. The fried chicken was suuuper crisp which I loved and the sauce was good as well! The cheese corn on the other hand was super dry and kinda weirdly sweet in my opinion. The spam mayo rice bowl was different but still good! It's different from your typical Korean restaurant but I would definitely come here again! read more

First off, I'd like to say that finding quality Asian food is somewhat difficult in Colorado. The quality places do exist, but somewhat elusively. I've tried many different Asian restaurants and this one nails it pretty well. Atmosphere. Korean pubs (pojang macha) have a very specific atmosphere to them and Thank Sool emulates it pretty well. Dark and some may say has a dive bar feel to it but also inviting and familiar. Food. I've yet to have anything here that left me disappointed. Rice ball mix: simple but tastes like what I used to have in Korea. Spicy rice cakes: good amount of spicy with good texture for the rice cakes themselves with a good mix of different vegetables and fish cake. Fried chicken: fried perfectly for a crunchy outer layer and tender meat inside. Service. Most Korean restaurants in Korea have a service bell that just calls the servers over to your table. This is what they are for so please don't hesitate to use it. You most likely won't have to use it very often though as the servers are very attentive. Check this place out. You won't regret it! read more

This place upgraded immensely since my last review. We didn't have a reservation for our large group and they compensated very quickly. Their wait staff was insanely patient. Also appreciate the host for giving us a heads up that the music was going to get very loud very soon. It's like a small night club but with food in there. They played a healthy mix of EDM, K-POP, and some Pop. During the regular dinner hours it was mostly kpop. During good weather they open the garage doors, even if the weather is bad there's an awning on top of the porch covering the walking path. So unless there's torrential downpour where the rain is falling sideways you should be dry. The bossam was good. The meat was pork belly and pork feet. The feet was very gelatinous and that texture is just not for me but it was marinated quite well. The pork belly was rather plain so I dipped it in every sauce at the table including the sweet chili sauce we had on the side from the chicken. If you like making your own protein wraps then this dish is for you. The fried chicken was very crispy and moist. Usually I order it with sauce on it but that causes it to get soggy if not eaten quickly. It's very good. The army stew is the typical kind you get anywhere. The sausages were very salty compared to the spam in the pot which is very weird to me. Remember to turn off the burner so the soup does not evaporate. Parking here is still cramped. You will find yourself parking in the neighborhood unless you get lucky. read more
