So glad we happened to drive by this spot and pop in for dinner last night. Portion sizes were amazing, food was outstanding, and service was lovely. Highly recommend!
The food was amazing. The service was great and the vibes were perfect. Great late night spot.
Everything was great (and every dish too!) but it’s a little noisy in the back. Next time I’ll sit at the bar.

Moon Pocha is a Korean restaurant on the east side of Portland. The lights are dim, the music is chill, and the interior is cozy and a bit larger than it looks from out front. There is some outdoor seating, which works well on warm nights. The service is friendly, attentive, and hospitable, with servers making recommendations for sauces, customizations, and how much to order. The flavors are out of this world and the portions generous. The japchae with tender bulgolgi and a marinated egg, the ribs that are fall off the bone tender, the corn cheese xp tots, the Korean pickles, the garden croquette, and the sundubu jjigae are all mentioned. The garden croquette is surprisingly crispy and tasty, and the vegetable croquettes with basil sauce instead of pajeon are an inventive, unique twist on standard dishes. The food is delicious, and they do not back off on spice, so be ready for some heat. There is also a great selection of non-alcoholic cocktails, including a pink one with sikhye. The atmosphere is good, though the restaurant is very busy and a little loud. Parking in the area can be difficult during peak dinner hours. Overall, Moon Pocha is a cute pocha addition to Portland, and a must-try spot that gives an overall sense of homeyness.
