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.
