This is my second visit to M Pocha and, while I did not think it possible, this visit exceeded the first. The cocktails were great (ask about the daily mystery cocktail), and the food delicious. The garlic fries side dish is not to be missed.

Great food. M restaurants are legit and Pocha is no exception when it comes to delicious, innovative food. The environment is very loud and difficult to have a conversation (guess I am officially in the decade of life where I start complaining about this - would not have been an issue for younger me). The bar was slow - we had two courses before drinks arrived.

Delicious, authentic Asian food served in a (compact) relaxing corner spot in Durham. The service was great and the food comes out quick. Order a few plates at a time and enjoy them all. Highly recommend.
Cherie
We sat at the bar area & had great service Food came out hot & was creative & delicious! Cocktails were interesting & well balanced-enjoyed very much!
Adam
Just not worth it. Fine dining prices for bar food vibes. Very expensive non-alcoholic cocktails were served in pint glasses with browned lime wedges. Chicken karaage was more fat and batter than meat. Dumplings were good but again...not worth the price.
Valerie
Very hard to focus on the food with a 90 rating from the Health Department staring at you the whole time. Staff was polite despite being visibly frazzled. Small space, difficult to hear my dining partner next to me. Will try another M restaurant but won't be back to this concept.
Mark
as always, exceptional food as to be expected from owner/creator mike lee - had the crab and shrimp shu mai, fried chicken bites, shrimp toast (without question the best in the triangle) and meat mandu (dumplings) - tried the bourbon flight which I liked but the pours were too small for the $28 price tag and they overcharge for (well) rum and tonic (same price as an elaborate cocktail)
Sean
Great meal start to finish. Short ribs, bao, chili fries, crispy rice, broccoli... All excellent.
Manisit
Great Asian fusion food and cocktails at this place. We got 1 appetizer and 3 mids, and it was enough food for 2 of us!
Colleen
Great dinner with excellent service! My cousin and I split the Spicy Pork Buns, Korean BBQ Short Ribs, Traditional Pork Dumplings, fried chicken bites, and the fried rice with fried shrimp. The food portions were perfect to split and the bill was more than reasonable for the quality of ingredients. We always love going to the M restaurants in Durham!
Outstanding service and great food. The KFC was the best I've ever had. The noodle dishes were solid. Highly recommend.
Silvia
Delicious food, friendly service, great variety of foods and beverages to choose from. Can't wait to go back and try the burger.
Christopher
Delicious, creative and eclectic menu. Family-style, both in the shareable plates and the long central table. We had a great time.
Erin Kearney
New favorite in Durham! Everything we ordered was excellent, including the drinks/wine. Service was very attentive and friendly. Everything made to order. Keep in mind it is a very small space, but nice atmosphere. 100% will be back!

My wife's new favorite Restaurant in Durham. The quality of the food is outstanding and the service is wonderful. Its a cute small place perfect for couples as it's mainly counter seating (but one long table that groups can dine together). Definitely need reservations - but well worth it. Been there twice and didn't disappoint either time. Perfect for dinner before a DPAC show.
