Immaculate vibes inside, cozy and clean and cute, and the staff was super friendly! Like other reviews said, it’s pricey but worth it! Peach-lemon soju cocktail and white peach cocktails were both awesome! Served several glasses each so well worth the price! We had the kimchi pancake (amazing) and it was huge so we were able to eat the other half in the morning! Very crispy and delicious! We also had the spicy boneless chicken feet, which had incredible delicious spice and it was nice not having to suck the bones ~~ cheese corn was awesome of course. And the steamed beef box was AWESOME!! Genuinely what an awesome spot I hope they continue to do well!Vegetarian options: Lots of good veggies and veggie options!
Good food and a fun place to start or end a memorable night. Try the lychee soju cocktail!

FYI, this is a bar, unless you plan is to drink, do not expect a good service. We ordered food only, no alcohol, so we didn't even get water. No side dishes either since "we are a bar now "

Ordered Bulgogi nachos and the “brisket”with bean sprouts, had a mouthful of meat between the 2 dishes. Not worth $45.Go for the drinks and atmosphere. Service staff were lovely.

We went in at ~5pm so it wasn't full yet. It got a lot busier later into the evening. The servers were nice and attentive.The food is good and filling. Good to share. As a group of 3, we ordered the army stew, seafood pancakes, and sweet cheese corn. Got the lychee cocktail soju to drink. Recommend all four. Although, we wish the army stew came with more ramyun noodles.Cool atmosphere inside.

Drink til you drop or come here for food. Either way this is the spot to go to for a good time. The presentation of the streamed pork was stunning, just like all the lights and vibes of this restaurant.Ordered:Hinoki Steamed Sliced PorkPotato PancakeSSpicy Seafood Nagasaki NoodleKim's Makguli

Visited Mapo Pocha Soju Bar with a few friends, we didn’t have reservations (believe you need a group size of 5 or more) so we put our name down and had to wait for about an hour to get a table. Well worth the wait! Aesthetics were really nice. Our server was really friendly, checked in on us often. The Soju drinks were absolutely delicious! I also got a zucchini pancake which was also really good! Price is $$-$$$. Would definitely recommend checking this place out.

Fun and yummy spot! The smokey cocktail presentation definitely adds to the vibe. The food was great too we got the kimchi pancake, cheese corn, mackerel and fried rice and all the dishes were very tasty! Loved the lychee cocktail too. The little lights and funny wall murals definitely add to the spunky vibe too. Staff was friendly and helpful. Prices are reasonable but not necessarily budget friendly. Would recommend!

As a Korean, one thing I can say about this Korean-style bar is that it‘s truly reminiscent of the ones you can find in Korea. If you want to experience the atmosphere of Korea, I highly recommend going without any hesitation. The food is delicious, and the service is friendly!
