Super yummy! I always get the honey garlic chicken and spicy rice cakes. The fried chicken is super crispy and juicy at the same time and the rice cakes are super chewy with the perfect amount of spice. I would recommend this place if you're craving Korean food. 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

Delicious food, friendly staff. The parking is rough but worth it. The lychee cocktail is bomb

In the past few years, Aurora has seen an influx of Korean bars collectively known as "Hof" - basically, informal places for letting your hair down with friends and enjoying a good nosh. One of the newest is Thank Sool Pocha on (where else?) Havana Street. "Pocha" is indeed a contraction of "pojangmacha", referencing the casual street-food stalls which function as an integral aspect of Korean nightlife. So it's probably not surprising that many of TSP's dishes are made for easy snackin'. For example, Modeum Sundae features plump chunks of blood sausage (the eponymous Sundae - not to be confused with the American dessert item of course!) sided with slices of pork trotter (Jokbal). Or how about a nice steaming dish of sweet corn niblets topped with oodles of melty cheese? For something lighter and a bit more elegant, have a taste of Golbaengi-muchim, which takes the snail relative known as the whelk and drenches it in a spicy red pepper sauce. (This particular preparation, by the way, is more of a southern Korean phenomenon - if we were traveling up north, our little mollusk friends would most likely be served up in a garlic/sesame oil dressing). But there are so many more dishes I can rave about here. OK, I get it already. You want your BBQ. Well, as it just so happens, TSP has you covered too. From rich pork belly (Samgyeopsal), to immaculately-sliced beef shortrib (LA Galbi), I think your craving for grilled flesh will be more than satisfied here (they even have several offal offerings, like Sogogi Gopchang (beef small intestine) and Dwaeji Makchang (pork large intestine)). Seafood aficionados, meanwhile, will feel their ship has come in when they try the Saengseon Kasu (breaded and fried fish cutlet, a riff on the Japanese-in-origin dish better known as Tonkatsu). And if you're looking to peek into (fairly) recent Korean history, perhaps you'd like to try the Beondegi Tang? This silkworm larva soup (OK, I guess they're pupa rather than larva, but this isn't biology class) was first consumed out of necessity during World War II but remains a nostalgic favorite amongst some older Koreans. Yes, TSP's meals will thrill you no matter how adventurous you are. read more

This place is SO good. The waiters are always friendly and patient and the food is AMAZING. I have tried a variety of things on their menu and have never been disappointed. Though the army stew and kimchi pancake are favorites! Highly recommend. read more

The service was terrible. Never check the table, never ask for refill side dishes. For 2 nd bowl of side dish, they charged it. Terrible!

Authentic Korean rest. Nice service and clean. Oden soup seemed like it was for a group of at least 5 ppl. Actually, everything was over-sized, still tasted good. Fun decor, like from the 90s or something. Seemed like a place for drinks (e.g. Korean bars). read more

Get the army stew! It was so delicious and flavorful. Most places make it kind of salty but the army stew here was flavored to perfection. The fried chicken was so crispy and tasted so good! We got the combo where it comes with army stew, fried chicken, and cheese corn then added tako yaki, seafood pancake, and a double order of the soju tower. For how much food we ate and how much we drank, I would say the price is worth it! Plus, they're open until 2am and are right next to a karaoke bar! Glad I was able to check this place out. Definitely coming back again. read more

Decent Korean food for the location (can't compare to Dallas or LA). We came here while on vacation in Denver. The budae jigae is nothing to write home about - a bit overpriced for the size and what's in it. I would have liked some more veggies besides just green onions and yellow onions. The kimchi pancake was pretty good in flavor. The atmosphere of the restaurant was pretty loud and smoky due to the multiple BBQ vents in the middle of the room. The seating area is pretty cramped, so you can hear the conversations all around you. Service all around was good. I would probably come back if I were in the area again. read more

Rachel was the greatest ever! Best customer service, great food, and great prices! The atmosphere was fun. Wish they have one these back in Cali!! Can't wait to come back to Colorado again for this. read more

This is new joint is a hidden gem!! Felt like I was in korea again. Service is on point and the menu had a great selection for everyone; from chicken The prices are seem a bit steep but dishes are made to share, so it feeds 2-3 ppl depending on your appetite. There was 3 of us, but like always, especially with a new place, I always order a variety of dishes to taste since you never what's gonna be good or not. When you're ready to order, press the button at ur table and the wait staff quickly comes over. The food is solid ad service is great. Great spot for late night hang out. read more

First time here and we tried three things so my review is based on that. I see there are many other reviews and 4 and 5 stars so this place could work out for you. I will say I'm Korean as is my wife and we've been to quite a few Pocha's over the years. Basically a Pocha is Korea beer and alcohol place that has complimentary food that goes well with the former. We tried the chicken, tokkbuki, and a mackerel. We weren't here to drink, just like the type of food that these places serve. First of all we specifically asked if the chicken was traditional whole Korean chicken and they said yes. Basically Koreans take a whole chicken, chop it up, and then fry it. It's awesome. So we were quite surprised when 8-10 chicken wings show up for $21. I've had better wings at Buffalo WW for half the price. They came out piping hot, but as you got to the center of each wing you could tell they weren't quite ready yet. Next was the tokkbuki. This was literally from a pre-packaged item you can buy at the local H-mart. How do I know, because it tasted exactly the same. They did add some extras to make it special I guess. Anyway, it was too sweet as is most packaged tokkbuki. And last was the fish. Grilled mackerel on the menu in English but in Korean on the menu it's mackerel in spicy sauce and there's a picture of the same. So we asked and they said it was the Korean version. Well it came out as grilled which we didn't want. They were nice enough ti remove it from our check as we sent it back. Anyway, if you're drinking you may not care what the food comes out like and/or some of their dishes may be great. The three above not so much. read more

Coming from Houston where there's a large selection of quality Korean cuisine, I was pleasantly surprised by the flavors offered here at Thank Sool Pocha. Try the blood pork sausage if you're feeling adventurous. Service was great and the staff were all friendly. The place is opened til late so it's the perfect spot for a late night get-together with friends and family. read more

Very good Korean food. Fried chicken and ramen were amazing. We stayed in Colorado for 5 days, and actually came back here for a second visit because it was so good. read more

Thank Sool is a great little hole in the wall that is the perfect place to try authentic Korean food and drink. The restaurant and bar does not seem like much on the outside but inside is a very cozy interior with grills and lights. One thing to definitely try when you're enjoying a meal here is the soju which is a classic Korean alcohol. You can even order the soju beer tower which is a refreshing drink and the tower is impressive to look at. Another not miss item is the army stew which is a traditional Korean dish with spam and.l noodles. The bulgogi stew is personally one of my favorites and is the perfect dish for the colder winter months. The seafood pancake is also a great dish to order for a starter and is very large so can feed many! Thank Sool is also open until 2am so it is a great place to stop by and get some late night drinks with your friends. The service here is also very good and the staff is very friendly and accommodating. So if you are in the mood for some awesome Korean food and drink, grab your friends and head to thank Sool! read more

food sucks, service also bad because my group is party of 4 and the server charged us tip for big party! The corn cheese is so dry and not even hot when they served it. read more

The atmosphere is cool. The food was good. We had the army stew and spicy chicken feet which was not my favorite. Our waitress was extremely nice and she always refilled our side dishes. read more

4 stars only because the price is a little steep. However, this place has good quality food that's well worth the price.

Recently found this place through my sister and it's a cute little Korean restaurant. They don't have a huge menu but have good selection of food and it's been a good experience every time. The price is reasonable and the atmosphere is really like eating in a restaurant in Korea. Although it was a good experience it wasn't great and nothing memorable. I wouldn't say this is my go-to place but wouldn't t be opposed to going back. read more

My friend brought me all the way from Cap Hill out to this magical Mecca of Asian culinary art known as Havana street in ..Aurora?? I haven't had much experience with Korean food, but this neophyte's early foray into it was spectacular. I think Thank Sool Pocha is a newer spot, or people aren't reviewing it to keep it all to themselves. Either way the Seafood pancake and the stir fried pork were off the charts. Granted there was enough food for 6 people given the family style portions common to this restaurant's serving style (I assumed but didn't know for sure before hand), so the two of us have enough left for several days. So great! Fun, funky atmosphere with poppy music topped it off. I can't say enough!! I can't wait to get more adventurous and try more traditional Korean fare here that I'm sure will not disappoint. read more

Great late night dining spot. Family style dining allows you to try different things. Service is good, food is good. Vibes are great.

We order so many different food and they were all delicious. After moving back from Korea two years ago, the food was great!!

Go to place for pork belly. Good ambience feels like I am somewhere in Asia. Great ambience.

Terrible service and poorly run establishment!! Servers were taking shots with their friends/other customers while our table of 4 and another table got agitated while we waited forever to be helped for water and food. Those same friends were also controlling the music for the entire restaurant and just kept turning it louder while others tried to turn it down. Our Server also dropped food on the floor right next to our table when she was first bringing out the initial food items and just left it there the rest of the night. Super unprofessional and gross. I'll never spend my money here again, especially considering how expensive it was. read more

I love this place! It looks and feels like a restaurant you'd find in Koreatown, LA! This tops Funny Plus, in my opinion, in terms of quality of food, service, and cleanliness. The servers are all equally as sweet and attentive and the food came out in a timely manner. We ordered the fire chicken with cheese fondue, seafood pancake, among other things. I'm definitely coming back soon! :) read more

So Good! Got the spicy seafood platter.

I've been to the restaurant next door plenty, but stepped inside this place for the first time Friday night. They opened at 5PM and there was only one other couple in the place. The service was borderline slow, but the clerk was plenty friendly. I wouldn't go here for the calamari but the ramen was great. The ambiance was great, cool decorations and a trendy feel. As a person who does not typically drink soju a little more information on the menu would be great regarding that. The soju tower is really just a pitcher of soju with ice. I would come back for drinks and a cool experience, not sold on the food yet. Wish they had more small plates to try a lot of food vs committing to a 18$ platter of one kind. read more

If you want to go to an unwelcoming place with horrible service and rude waitstaff, definitely come here! They make you feel bad for asking for anything. They have attitudes, are unhelpful, and do not have a clue about customer service. They will charge you for everything they can and rip you off. THE WORST. read more

This is the best place ever! Amazing food, great setting for lively friend get togethers! The staff always goes above and beyond to give clientele the best experience. I've never been disappointed when I've come to this place, the customer service, food and everything is always top notch. Not to mention the place is super clean and interesting with fun decor and furniture. If I could give this more then five stars I would! Definitely recommend!!! read more

Loved both the stir fry squid and spicy rice cake! Though the squid was quite spicy, but very tasty and paired well with the rice noodles. The spicy rice cake was very flavorful, served with Korean fish cake and kimchi. The rice cake itself was very chewy, definitely different than the store-bought frozen ones which some restaurants use. The sauce is spicy enough, but also has a touch of sweetness and even better adding cheese to it! It's one of those dishes once you start, you can't stop eating it! Highly recommend this place! read more

Calvin is the best server. He has the best customer service and on top of that the food comes out ridiculously fast. Highly recommend.

We loved this place. The tteokbokki is the best I've had in Colorado (shh... Don't tell my boyfriend's eomma). He said the chicken was pretty good too. And the kimchi was fresher than anywhere else we've been in the area. Atmosphere is fun, service is friendly, and the food came out really fast. read more

My wife and I have found our new favorite restaraunt/bar :) It's a good thing we live on the other side of town or we would probably be eating here way too often. The atmosphere is relaxed and the servers are friendly. The Baby Octopus & Pork Belly is excellent! That dish alone is reason enough to endure the drive from Golden several times a month. read more

My husband and I tried this place in January thinking the food was great from all the reviews and pictures, but to our dismay it was nasty. We ordered the army stew and gizzards, the stew tasted like boiled hot dogs with melting kimchi and the gizzards were so tough to chew it is not worth mentioning. I mean, the service was good, but the food was not good because the army stew I made at home was 100x better so if you want to try something good, this is not the place. We were so disappointed that spending our money here was so regretful we should have gone to our other pub and we didn't take any pictures because it was not even worth it. read more

Love this place for a big party! We always take our out of state friends here whenever they come in because it's spacious enough to hold large group and is a good place for everything to get together and drink. Food is alright, my favorite is the bento box, but recently it seemed like they took out the anchovies from their boxes, which is a shame cause that was my favorite part. I've also tried their fire chicken, can be a bit spicy if you're not used to heat, but it is also just okay. Would recommend this place to anyone who needs a place to chill or kill time with their friends. Drinks could get pretty expensive here with a soju bottle costing almost 10 dollars each when you can just buy it at a nearby liquor store for 5, but it's a normal thing for korean pubs like this. Definitely would come back to try other foods read more
