M Pocha is a cozy restaurant known for its inviting atmosphere and a variety of Korean-inspired dishes. The menu features delicious options like spicy pork buns, budae jjigae (army stew), and wagyu bao buns. The food is consistently fresh and flavorful, with highlights such as the Korean BBQ short ribs, crab shumei, and chili crunch fries. The squid ink cocktail with mezcal is a unique drink offering that enhances the overall experience.
The restaurant's compact space primarily offers counter seating and one long table for groups, creating a cute and intimate setting that is perfect for couples and friends. While it may not be the most comfortable for a private, sit-and-chat dinner experience, it's ideal for a tasty meal before heading to DPAC or out for the evening. Despite the small size, the attentive and friendly service makes for an enjoyable atmosphere. Reservations are recommended, especially for dinner before a DPAC show.
M Pocha stands out as a great choice for those looking to try new flavors and dishes in a fun part of Durham. With creative and unique offerings, the restaurant's authentic Asian cuisine and relaxing ambiance make it a popular destination for those seeking a delightful dining experience. Everything is made to order, and the service is very friendly, ensuring a memorable visit.
