I'm not even exaggerating when I say this was the best fried chicken I've ever had in my 24 years of life. The fried chicken was hot fresh and crispy. I absolutely loved the flavors that I ordered. Can't say I was a huge fan of the Rose Tteokbokki. We also got some Soju that was really good and a spicy seafood soup which was very spicy just keep that in mind. I'll definitely be back again soon. Maybe during the week. Keep in mind that if you go on a weekend that the restaurant is very small so you'll probably have to wait to be seated. Some thing that did turned me off a lot about this restaurant was that there was a group of 3 men Being extremely loud and obviously they were drunk, but I felt like they were over-served alcohol. The restaurant is very small so I could hear them literally screaming and laughing right next to me. It really did not let me enjoy my meal as much as I would've liked to.

Overpriced ($17 for a bottle of soju), fried chicken tasted like frozen chicken that was thrown into hot oil. It has a refrigerator taste to it. Limited seating.

Fried chicken was good. It is a Korean style fried chicken, very well fried. Also tried Nagasaki Jjam Bbong. It was also good, too.

I love this place. The Korean hotdogs are great and from ones I’ve tried in the area they have my favorite. My other go to is their wings super crunchy and the sauce is amazing. Usually get it as take out but plan to dine in and try more dishes soon. This is a great spot!

You’ve really got to try the Korean Fried Chicken and Corndogs “hotdogs”. This place was the best date night we’ve had in awhile. Our waitress was warm and wonderful. We’ll absolutely be back, the only trouble is we want to try the whole menu but everything we got was TOO good. From best of the best to best: KFC, hotdogs, mandu, seasoned rice balls and spicy noodles.
Kid-friendliness: The street in front of the restaurant was blocked off with room to run and a designated play area with fun building blocks.

Best tteokbokki I’ve had, and I’ve tried a lot. I’ve never been able to find tteokbokki made the way I like it (they all tend to taste just like watery gochujang). I tried the truffle fries and the rose tteokbokki, and they were both very flavorful and well-seasoned. The rice cakes in the rose tteokbokki were fresh and chewy, and the bacon and sausage were delicious and a nice touch. The sauce was a good consistency—not too thick or watery. It had a slight smokiness from the meats. I personally love a bunch of green onion in my tteokbokki, so I would have loved more, but they gave a decent amount. The amount given for the price was fair; it was quite filling, even though I always eat a lot. The truffle fries are delicious as well; they have a great texture (crispy outside and fluffy inside) and are seasoned well. They come out VERY hot! I also appreciate that they give small metal dishes along with the food so you can portion it out to share or cool down. The atmosphere is casual and cozy, though it can feel a bit cramped since it is small and often busy. Expect to wait outside for a table to open up. They play K-pop music. I really like that they are open late. I will definitely come back here again. Looking forward to trying the bossam sometime. Never had it before, but it looks yummy. I came back a second time the following day for the rose tteokbokki again, and the waitress remembered me.

I don't think words can describe how much i LOVE 1st Street Pocha. (Our friends introduced us to this place!) By far my favorite Korean restaurant I've been to - nothing has yet to compare to the flavors you get here. The Rose Tteokbokki was the star of the show, i literally crave it ALL the time. It's really cramped and loud, but that just really adds to the ambience of hot, greasy, delicious korean street food! Definitely worth a try, whether you're a visitor or a local. 100/10
Damn this place is good! Love love love those spicy noodles. Stop in and try several dishes. You will not retreat it. So yummy!

The thing I think we're lacking here in Portland is a solid night scene. I feel like most small bars on the West side close too early especially if you need a night of drinks and top notch snacks. Their Korean corn dogs are what brings me in, the good selection of soju flavors keep me there and the hours ensure I'm there forever. Sorry about the wait when you get there, because that's probably me scarfing down snacks and hogging that table in the corner
