-La galbi ($32 for 3 slices of short rib) side/salad came first then rib 10+min later. -Fire chicken with cheese was good (30+ min wait) -Stir fried squid = few pieces of squid mixed in salty warm sauce. -Beer/drink need to be reminded -To feed 3 people you need to spend $100-$200. -Can't oder kebab at bbq table and vice versa. -Need to patiently sit and wait to order and wait for orders otherwise waiter ignores you completely for the rest of the time. -Music is turned to max that no one can hear each other so everyone is shouting. -No lights if sit near windows, bring your own flashlights to see food. 1 star for the chicken and never coming back read more

Was really excited to try this place, as I love Korean food. Managed to get a table on a Saturday night around 7:00 with no wait, which was nice and a bit unexpected. Sat by the garage doors (this is important for later) which we thought would be cool. K Pop on big screens as well as the playoff basketball game, all in all, a cool vibe. Ordered the LA Galbi and the sweet and spicy Korean fried chicken. A little disappointed that the Korean BBQ dish didn't come with rice and they didn't even ask if we wanted any. Also, we got like three banchan items, which was a bummer, and the amount of galbi wasn't all that much. Still, it was tasty, and we ordered a side of rice. Kimchi was good, and the tofu marinaded in some chili paste was also nice, but, that was kind of it for sides, and that's one of my favorite parts of Korean bbq! I think I'd stick with more old school Korean spots for BBQ before going back. The chicken was super crispy and tasty and spicy enough, but the sauce was *super* sweet, a bit too much for my taste. (It was also super sticky, so I'd bring hand wipes if I ate here again. It just made the napkins stick to my hands when I tried to clean them.) All in all, I don't regret going, and if a group of friends wanted to try it, I'd probably give it another go to sample more of their dishes, but for dinner for two, I think I'd rather try somewhere else. Service was friendly and prompt, everything appeared clean and well kept and I don't think the food was BAD, but I just wasn't vibing here. They also opened the garage doors for some reason on a chilly night, and I just had a t shirt on, so it got uncomfortably cold as we were wrapping up. read more

After struggling at a previous restaurant, where we never were served, we left and came here. It was about 9pm, they open till 2am for the night owls. We were asked if we wanted to do BBQ or Skewers. We decided on neither, since my buddy and I just washed our hairs. We didn't want to smell like smokey BBQ going home. My friend ordered the Korean fried chicken, with half parmesan rub and half with soy sauce-honey glaze. They were freaking fantastic, the chicken was crispy and light. The flavors were just right. The meal came with sides of kimchi, edamame, chili-cold tofu, and a cabbage salad. As for me, I ordered something not wimpy on the non-spicy for my friend. I ordered a pork belly dish, it was one of their specialties. It came with thinly sliced radish, sliced fresh garlic, jalapeños slices, a good bean paste, and a very very salty shrimp sauce (not my jam). We both really enjoyed our meals, service was great, the waiter was keeping up with everyone's demands, and the food came out piping hot. Definitely will be back! read more

If a place can lift my spirits after the Dabin red rocks cancellation then they deserve 5 stars. Great food, great service, great value, cute place! Highly recommend. We're visiting from texas and everything tasted delicious. Just what we needed. We got the combo + kimchi pancakes. Would definitely be back to try other things on the menu like la galbi read more

Got here at midnight 2 hours before closing time. I was meeting a friend after work. Host grabbed menus to seat me, he looked nervous. Then he spoke to someone else and said I can only order food Togo. Even though they were open for 2 more hours!! Basically told me I couldn't stay. It was so uncomfortable. I was not welcome inside. Maybe they don't like white people? If I go again I will bring my Korean besties to see if they let me eat in the restaurant. I am from LA and never been treated like this at a Korean restaurant or any restaurant. (I will never support this company) We ended up going to *Funny Plus* instead and had a great time! read more

The restaurant is korean street food style. Everything together is a OK place. We were there with only three other tables. Service is relatively fast, host and waitress are both ok, not super welcoming nor rude. Food is below expectations: corn cheese plate doesn't taste like fresh made, because it's only warm, cheese is not running hot, it's already settled w corns. It's probably made a while ago. Both Army strew and fired chicken are both ok, nothing stands out. read more

Absolute hidden gem. This place reminds me of a neighborhood Asian eatery in Asia. I noted the majority of the customers were Korean, which tells me this is good Korean fare, not made for the American dollar. Sorry, but if you want that stuff, this isn't your place. The food here is absolutely amazing! I loved it all. From the Army soup to the chicken feet, I was a fat and happy camper when I left. We took leftovers home and feasted again the next day. Still wonderful re-heated. The restaurant is clean, service excellent and friendly, and bathroom clean and smelled good. That tells me a lot. We were promptly greeted and sat down at the hibachi table. While we did not elect to cook at the tables per se, they still brought the food on portable stoves/warmers and it was delicious. We travel from DIA to the Springs often and this is going to be our food stop after late evening arrivals. They stay open until 2am. BTW they are a K-pub and have Soju and other yummy drinks as well as absolutely amazing and delicious food. I hate it that they are going to be a huge success and I will have to wait to get in, but they are doing it right and deserve all the success they get. Go there, but don't crowd me out. Haha. Charisse A. and Elle A. loved it too. Try the fried chicken to start, it was awesome. read more

The menu made me drool as I read the detailed descriptions. The food tasted delicious. The spam found under appetizers, was an amazing salty dish. The portion was generous in size. The combo of octopus and pork belly sounded unusual but was impressive in taste and great portion size. read more

Wow. Just wow. So a friend and I drove up to Aurora to check out Thank Sool Pocha and glad that we did. I love all things Korean food and K-Pub food. Whether you're in the area or not, this is definitely worth trying! We shared a number of items and had PLENTY to take home for delicious leftovers. PS, I've never had fried chicken be crispy the next day, and this one was! We tried out a number of items and each one was delicious! Tako Yaki Spicy Crab Soup Spicy Rice Cakes with seaweed rolls, cheese, and eggs Crispy fried chicken skin Honey garlic Fred chicken Corn cheese The spice on everything was so nice and built up the heat. I'll definitely be getting back when I have a chance and getting some more items to try! read more

Went there on a weekday, place had maybe 3 tables being serviced with 2 workers on the floor at night. Service was super slow, workers were drunk and on drugs. after spilling our salad on the floor behind my chair, there was no clean up. Almost slipped because I didn't notice how much a mess it was behind me when I got up. It took over 15-20 mins for them to come back and get our orders. We were trying to give them a chance. Workers were too busy tending to the college kids who kept requesting songs and blowing up the place like it was a nightclub and drinking with them. Then saw the workers and another guy go to the back and come back rubbing their noses. Being in the medical profession and noticing the behaviors/ pupils changes, you can clearly tell something was not right. Other people who came in the restaurant were also not serviced for a long time. Definitely would not return to this place again. Run if you see kids only running the joint. read more

Great atmosphere! They open up the entire space for a patio feel - perfect for summer evenings. Family friendly, too.

Pretty dang good Korean bbq! This spot is in quaint area of Aurora and is just down the street from H Mart (come on Vegas we need an H Mart!!!). The ambiance is very on brand for Korean BBQ and the music choice was on point. This KBBQ joint is ala carte so you pick and choose your meats paying for what you like. We ordered the LA Galbi, the Pork Belly, and the Beef Brisket. Each meet was very high quality and had a nice fresh flavor to it. Only downside was the price. For this price for the meat you're looking at 8Ounce quality here in Vegas. But at this spot it was good quality but no where near the quality of ala carte in Vegas. That being said this is an excellent option for KBBQ if you're in the Denver/Aurora area. The service was top notch and you're supporting minority owned small business. And that's pretty awesome. read more

Thank Sool Pocha is CLEVER, during this second Coronavirus Pandemic shutdown!! We were originally planning on dining into Sushi Katsu next-door, because their Google page states that they allow Dine-In, but the door stated takeout and delivery. We looked over to our right, in between the karaoke bar, and Sushi Katsu, was this orange, "army" post apocalyptical looking tent!! They were allowing dine in!! Inside their orange tent, they had a 6 ft social distant table setting of 4, with a portable fire in the middle and romantic date night lights. Their restaurant remained "Closed," but dine in was totally possible, and Nick and I were just so impressed! Upon dining in, we were given doggy bowls to pour our water in and drinking out of it!! Totally felt like we were in the army. The menu was diverse with Korean BBQ (Bulgogi) and look on what caught our attention: The Army Stew for $18.00!! We received it raw with a slice of American cheese on top, Korean Mushrooms, big capped mushrooms, raamen noodles and a spicy broth to go along with it. It filled us up for two people. Although the soup came hot, we still had it heating up with the portable stove and melted the cheese and dumped the jalapenos inside the soup, making it extra spicy. The side of cole slaw was amazing!! Our server was also super sweet and very nice. read more

I have been so against ramen restaurants for so long just because I feel I make the best ramen and it doesn't ever cost me that much. In any Samoan household youll always find boxes of ramen and if it's not Maruchan it was a hard week and we had to settle lol. I grew up on ramen, I learned how to make it at 5 years old, not a joke. Ramen is my most faaaavorite childhood meals, FAVORITE! I finally decided to give in trying a hotpot restaurant when I moved to Denver because I had tried some restaurants and felt disappointed that I was like well, I love ramen so much, how can this place not be good? Korean chicken wings are ALWAYS A HIT with me! Always! And that was the best thing I ate here! I would go back just for the wings! 5/5 The fried potstickers were 3/5 The ramen, was the spicy seafood one, it had crab, shrimp, mussels, and I was sad because I really could have made this at home. The crab legs were skinny, like tiny like there for decoration. I guess it's for convenience & experience and...Im so for that for anything but not ramen. It was poppin tho for anyone who wants to eat ramen in the midst of a crowd. The 3 stars is for the wings! read more

Food always tastes different everytime I come. I usually order the garlic butter chicken and there are times where it has been too salty or overcooked. Prices are expensive for what they offer. Service is lackluster. read more

This is the only bar food/street food Korean spot that I know of in Colorado and it is BOMBBBB. One of the best spots to take your friends out for a few drinks and some delicious drinking food. They have everything from KBBQ, fried chicken, hotpots, and really really great appetizers and the best part is that they're all meant to be shared because of the generous portions they give out. I'd say my most favorite two dishes there are the beef tartar and the salt and pepper gizzards, I could eat those two things everyday if I could They have a large selection of alcohol to choose from and an even larger selection of soju to choose from! Easily my go to spot when I take out my friends and family from out of town, great music, great vibes, and the servers are really good. read more

While I enjoyed the food and atmosphere of the restaurant, the leftovers were disappointing and disgusting. I got the Abomasum dinner, which was pretty good, and the green grape soju which was delicious. Back to the leftovers: a piece of the meat contained a piece of brillo - that's a piece of steel wool! This was my first Korean restaurant since I've moved to Colorado, and this was very disappointing as I did enjoy it all up to this point. For the money I paid for this food, the quality is ill reflected. If anybody is paying this much money, this should never ever happen! Time to find a better restaurant. read more

Overpriced and the spicy chicken tasted like cigarettes? Very strange flavors happening in both dishes

I have been wanting to come here for awhile, and I just wanted to order everything. We order the army stew small, and it was delicious I definitely recommend it with getting extra ramen, they didn't put beans in it though which I am absolutely fine with, but warning it is a little salty because of the spam, I personally didn't mind it. We got the spicy rice cake (deokbokki) w/ cheese. The give you a hearty helping of cheese which I loved. However I didn't really like it as much compared to everything else, it was too sweet for me and not spicy enough for me. One of my most surprised that I enjoyed was the rice ball mix, they give you gloves and it is warm rice with seaweed and mentaiko, and you mix it wearing the gloves. I ended up getting two of these. Something fun to eat. I always get soondae if they have it and any restaurant, I highly recommend dipping it in the rice cake sauce. My favorite all night besides the rice ball mix was the seafood pancake and bossam (pork belly). The bossam you wrap it in the radish which was surprisingly refreshing matched well together. The seafood pancake was made fresh it was lots of calamari and shrimp and onions in it. I will be backkkkkk!!! read more

Food here is delicious and great, but why am I leaving a 3 star review ehy? First off, Food options that I highly recommend: Hibachi style rice cakes; great amount of noodles, rice cakes, fish cakes, eggs, and option to add cheese..yass! Army stew - the best army stew in Aurora, ample amount of sausage, tofu, dumplings, and rice cakes Corn cheese - the cheesiest corn cheese ever, delicious! Cons: Water cups/bowls: communal water cups (more of a bowl) have dust and food scraps, questioning how long the bowls have been left out on the table before use. Community box of chopsticks and spoons - of which the chopsticks and spoons aren't washed very well to the point where they have food scraps still stuck on them. Styrofoam plates - unsure of how many people touched the communal plates left on the table..I guess ignorance is bliss Metal bowls served with soup - nearly burned my hands while trying to serve the army stew noodles to my friends read more

I need to go here MORE OFTEN! Woah!!! Def make a trip to TSP. Pocha is SO GOOD! It's the type of Korean pub or bar with some ahhhhhMazing food options. I recently stopped in this evening to enjoy some drinks and delicious food with friends. We ordered a few bottles of soju, beers, beef tartare, fish roe soup and the sweet-and-sour pork. Everything was so delicious and I mean addicting. Everything was so well prepared and seasoned. The sweet-and-sour pork was crispy with a delicious sauce on the side for dipping. I love that the sauce was served on the side because the pork Krispies stayed extra crispy! I also really enjoyed the fish roast soup. I grew up eating Mentaiko or codfish eggs and it was delicious! I will definitely order that soup again. The ambience is super chill and laid-back. The interior bar gives you the kpub vibe and reminds me of some of the neighborhood bars I used to go to in Hawaii. Sandy and the other restaurant staff are always super friendly and super accommodating. I really enjoyed my night at Pocha and can't wait to come back with more friends soon. read more

This has been the most authentic Korean BBQ spot that I've experienced so far in Denver. The portion sizes are fair, the ambiance is authentic, and the service is good. The food is tasty of course too! All meals come with tasty sides. They even have karaoke if you're feeling daring! This is a great spot to try with friends or go on a date. It's chill with dim lighting to set off the vibes! read more

Oh, Havana Street how I love you. You have some of the best ethnic food in Denver and it makes me so happy! Mom and pop restaurants are definitely the places I frequent more than any other spots in this city. Thank Sool Pocha is an awesome place that serves traditional Korean Pub food and darn, is it good! The dark cozy atmosphere creates a very relaxing and inviting feeling for all guests. Food: The Korean Army Stew is a must-try dish. This dish originated after the Korean War where food was scarce so they would eat surplus processed foods from the US military bases. You'll find spam, hot dogs, instant noodles, American cheese, and veggies in this dish and it's delicious! The gochujang really comes through the broth and is so soothing to sip. The fried chicken was also perfectly crispy and was tossed in a flavorful dressing. Service: Friendly, attentive and fast despite how many tables were taken by several hungry folks! It was a much needed experience and I will definitely be making my way back here! read more

Love this place. It was my first time here. It was dead but it was also lunar new year. I don't mind a quiet restaurant but I hear it's usually pretty packed and pretty loud. We had the army stew, wings, boneless chicken feet, and pork katsu. I mostly ate the army stew (ramen, rice cake, sausage, tofu, mushroom, spam?). It was delicious. I tried the rice ball that came with the chicken feeet and it was soooo good. I didn't try chicken feet because honestly I can be a picky eater. The sauce that came with it was tasty though. Didn't eat the pork katsu either. I had the regular wings and it had a nice crunch to it. We got a couple orders of soju as well (they had plum, grapefruit, peach, green apple, strawberry and more!) Service was good. Kind and prompt. read more

I LOVE coming to Pocha (have probably gone 1x a month). This is definitely the vibe for late night Korean food! The environment is welcoming yet very chill. The food is meant to be shared among your table - each time I always get the Korean army stew, corn cheese, Korean fried chicken and sometimes the kimchi pancake! All super delicious and if you order that much food among 3-5 people, it's about $20 per person which definitely gets you full! Also they have Soju towers which I hope to try one day when I'm in a party mood haha! Always recommending this place to my friends, thank you guys! read more

I've been wanting to check this place out for a while because of the variety of dishes on the menu that you can't find so easily at other Korean restaurants. My first impression coming through the door was that it had the vibe of a Korean pub. The decor and furniture made me reminiscent of my pub hopping days in Seoul. For food, we ordered the Spicy Crab Soup and the Pork Feet and Pork Belly combo. The Pork Feet were alright, but the soup and pork belly were fantastic! Loved the marinated perilla leaf and green onion that came with the pork belly. I will definitely be back to explore more of the unique items on the menu! read more

To whoever the male server was tonight, thank you. I wish I could have tipped you more. First time out since my divorce. I've been kind of a recluse, not wanting to really deal with anyone. Been months. I had a terrible craving for Korean. Found this place open. Decided it was the perfect time to visit late at night. I walked in and it felt like everyone was starting at me. Of course the weren't. But then you came and just in a very chill mode, seated me. I didn't know what I wanted. I asked for your suggestion. I felt like an jerk but I really didn't know what I wanted. Just wanted to be out. I asked you for the top 3 small dishes. You didn't scoff at me when I asked you what came with it. You were patient with me. I needed that. Thank you. I know it's a random review but I couldn't let go without letting everyone know that this place is amazing. I will post pics of the stuff that was ordered and let me tell you, did not disappoint. I will definitely be back. read more
