The staff is very friendly/welcoming. My go-to orders are usually the nachos or the skewers as a light good option. Definitely get a bottle of lychee cocktail!

Maybe it’s because I’m from Manhattan but this place was deplorable. My fellow friend Joshua Kim introduced me to this bar tonight after having deliberately avoided it for 3 years straight. Yuck!! The quality has not changed and I did not appreciate the cheap lunch meat quality tacos they handed me for $19. That’s ridiculous. I will be sticking to my local Mexican vendor and supporting local mom and pop businesses only. Disgusting, and I threw my tacos out after finishing 1 out of 3. How shameful of this businesses to be charging the prices they do!!

Go for drinks, not the food. We ordered the skewers (pork, gopchang, beef) which were dry and tough and the jjampong was really lacking. The jjampong was too salty and lacked any depth at all, the seafood that was in there was dry and chewy. Also there was barely any sujebi that we had to order more noodles and was still left with a lot of salty soup.The only reason is not lower is bc the service was fantastic and the atmosphere was good. But I guess this is a Pocha so makes sense.

There's not much of a night life in Jersey so having this as an option for late night food and/or drinks is great. My friends and I like going here to share food and have a good time. I personally like the 201 nachos and the lychee cocktails a lot. Music is good, vibe is good. Can't go wrong

Food always good here. Servers are attentive and fun to talk with. Sometimes music is too loud and it's hard to hear each other but other than that solid place. Food better here compared to soosanghan pocha but alcohol just a little more expensive (I can't emphasize "a little bit" more to be honest), but no big deal

the place is alright. its a good spot to chill with your friends after work and the food is ok. i guess the thing that bothered me were the attitude of the staff here. they seem rude and uninterested at doing their jobs.

Watched the playoffs here last night ( Boston Celtics vs Miami heat); great game and good ambiance. There was barely anyone when we walked in but within the hour folks started coming in to watch the game. Food highlight of the night were the grilled intestines, I really enjoyed these though they were slightly chewy. The Korean ground beef sausage was next - flavorful and goes very well with the dipping sauces offered- I believe one was soy based and the other a combo of sesame oil salt n pepper. For drinks I had the matcha bomb and the purple magic, both very similar in taste with the addition of lychee juice but the purple magic was just better by a tad and definitely enjoyed both drinks. Not too sweet, floral tasting; couldn't taste any matcha on the first one though. I've been here a few times mainly for the relaxed atmosphere and will be back again. Ps: they did forget my drink order and I had to check on it before receiving it a few minutes after The fried dumplings though good on quantity was just ok on flavor, may not purchase again.

Between the reasonable food prices ( with good sized portions) and a vast variety of drinks and cocktails. This place is perfect not only for date night but also a night out with friends. The staff are friendly and attentive, good music in the background, solid aesthetics and clean. Check them out and you can thank me later.

My friend and I randomly came to this bar after doing a quick Google search on a weekday. From the bartender’s recommendation, we ordered a beer and three dishes - one of them being pork belly and cold noodles. The dish she recommended came with a lot of vegetables, which I didn’t mind personally, but I think other customers might want more noodles than vegetables. She seemed a little busy, but she was still able to accommodate us with little things like changing the TV channel, refilling our waters without asking and replacing our dirty napkins. The atmosphere was pretty slow and chill which we really liked but that might have been the case because we went a little early. I recommend coming here early during the afternoon if you want to have a casual conversation with a friend or two without the normal bar chaos.

I’ll start this with I’m a Vet who’s been to Seoul twice so “I know”. I’m giving 2 stars only because the place is actually great but the staff are horrible if you’re not Korean. First was the bartender’s horrible service to only me and my date. Before working in the ER I was a bartender and a good one. She made my drink 1 parts LQ, lemon, and water then made a virgin drink for my date and when I asked she said it wasn’t. Then I had to ask her to make a drink with instructions while she happily tended to everyone else at the bar. Even laughing and smiling with some but my date and myself were made to feel like we were not wanted nor seen at the bar. Completely unacceptable I don’t recommend unless you’re of Asian descent from my experience.

We made a reservation here on Sunday. The waitress was not very polite from the beginning to the very end. If the place was crowded that would be more understandable but it wasn't. She gave attitude whenever we asked for something, for example when we order intestines it is supposed to go with the sauce too, but there wasn't any so we ask for it and she looked pretty annoyed, came in, then gave us small portions of the sauce. Moreover, when we asked for the takeout boxes, she didn't give them to us but instead she PUT THEM ON THE CHAIRS. How unsanitary. It is supposed to be a happy birthday night for my friend but unfortunately the night kinda disappointed everyone. The food was so-so, note that it can be a little bit pricey. Would come again one day once they change their attitude.
