Had a great date night experience. Cute and quaint and the kimchi tofu was full of flavor. Would definitely return and recommend.

Even though the place has changed a lot from a year ago, the food is a lot better and the service has improved a lot.

Shared the army stew for a late night snack with one other person. It is definitely the best in Seattle. Portion size is generous for the price.

This is definitely not the restaurant it used to be, Imo Pocha used to be packed with 1+ hour waits on a weekend night, the fact that there was only one table occupied when we came in didn't bode super well but we stayed anyways.

Menu is a quarter of what it was, everything I would've ordered is gone so I mostly just drank soju and enjoyed the company. The octopus in half of the takoyaki was still very cold, I think everyone enjoyed the other thing we ordered though.

Give this place a try, it didn't appeal to me but I was also expecting a restaurant that isn't here anymore.

I walked up 3 hills just to try the Rose Rabbokki and it was delicious. Every bite was cheesy, chewy and creamy. My friends had the bulgogi and again —- huge portions but they enjoyed it!

I had no idea how I was going to walk back after eating such a huge portion but definitely would come back for a late night bite.

Authentic feeling with all the pocha-esque furniture!! Feels like I'm in Korea. The Korean ajummas here are very nice too :)) The price is also quite low compared to most korean bars and such, which was surprising to see in cap hill. Bring a bunch of people over for a bustling korean pocha experience!!

Props to the friendly team at Lil Po, excellent all around so keep it up! Will be back ? Had the beef jeon and kimchi jjigae, both were bold in flavor and aroma in the best way possible. Can tell the kimchi is actually fermented and not just pickled like most other places. Great for drinks with a small group!

Even though their food safety sign was just OKAY, our dinner was pretty solid. Homemade style dishes that made us happy.

Maybe they’ve updated their menu and food since they opened as we couldn’t find some of the dishes on reviews when we went in yesterday.

Their bulgogi was soup that comes with rice - I thought it was a bit unusual but the flavor was great. Kimuchi pancake was super good too! Between two of us we had 3 dishes but the portion was huge, so we had to take 1/2 home ?

The girl working there as a server was so nice, and over all we had a great time. I just wish menu was a bit bigger (their pancake options were Kimuchi or beef - I wish there was a seafood option).

I really loved this place. Food was tasty with a good selection and several vegetarian options. The ambience is fun and colorful (the wallapaper!), but also cozy, with cute little tables and comfy chairs. Service was quick and attentive. In the early evening a nice light was filtering through the windows!...I do not really drink, but I would totally choose Lil Pocha to share my sorrows with a close friend over good soju like you know..in a proper K-drama ;).

A restaurant that does not disappoint! I went here with a buddy in search of Korean food and had a lovely meal. The staff were friendly and cool, while the food was tasty and a little hot (for my weak palette). Food is perfect for sharing. We didn’t get drinks this visit but I’d love to come back and have some soju.

Side note: the crane wallpaper is listed at $570 on Gucci’s website. Wonder if it’s real.
