This place is the real deal for sushi lovers. Seaweed Salad w/ Ginger Dressing, Dumplings, M Lobster Special, Tuna Roll. All incredibly delicious. Service was incredible in every way, as well. And we dined next to Ashley Christensen. We congratulated her as she was leaving and she stopped and chatted. Told us we could not be in a better spot for dinner and that she has eaten here 3 times in the last 3 weeks. She could NOT have been cooler. Great vibe. We will be back so often...read full review

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.
