About Hanshin Pocha Irvine

Hanshin Pocha Irvine is a vibrant restaurant and bar perfect for gathering with friends and family. Located in the Quail Hill shopping center, it offers a lively atmosphere and ample parking. The restaurant serves a happy hour and features a wide selection of generous portion sizes, ideal for sharing. A highlight is their DIY rice balls, which allow diners to mix ingredients and create their own rice ball. The menu includes Korean comfort food staples like oden tang, kimchi jeongol with ramen, Gochu Maneul Chicken (sweet and spicy garlic fried chicken), and Pork Mozzarella Cheese Fondue, all known for being delicious and well-packaged for takeout. Recent additions to the menu, such as bulgogi fries, stir fried udon, and squid & pork bulgogi, have been praised for their flavors. Their Korean fried chicken and cheese chicken BBQ stand out for their crispy textures and taste. The service remains efficient with a button-summoning system, and the staff are friendly. The restaurant stays open late, until midnight every day and until 1am on Fridays and Saturdays, making it a convenient choice for late-night cravings. While the food is enjoyable, some diners have noted that it pairs well with Korean alcoholic beverages like soju and beer, enhancing the overall experience. The dim interior adds to the charm, making it a great spot for late-night group gatherings.
