“My experience at Noori Pocha, the Korean fried chicken haven, was nothing short of extraordinary. I'd give 10 stars to this restaurant if I could. Not only the food, but also the customer service and the vibe were impressive. I forgot to take pictures of their fried chicken, because it looked so good that I had to start eating as soon as it got to our table. 1. Food - Fried chicken: better than the ones back in South Korea! Crispy on the outside, yet incredibly juicy and flavorful on the inside. I tried all the flavors - whether you prefer it with the soy garlic glaze, the sweet & spicy sauce or any other, every option is a winner. - Jokbal (braised pork hocks): we had both the original and the spicy version. They were both authentic and aromatic... just fantastic. And let's not forget the array of mouthwatering sides - from the refreshing crunch of the lettuce to the variety of delectable sauces, every component complemented the star of the show, the Jokbal, flawlessly. - Bulgogi (soy sauce marinated sliced beef): Bulgogi at Noori Pocha is a true delight. Tender slices of beef marinated in a sweet soy sauce create a beautiful symphony of flavors that dance on your palate. Each bite is a perfect balance of savory and sweet, leaving you craving for more. - Jeyook (spicy sauce marinated sliced pork): this was my favorite. It tastes like it's from a very good restaurant in South Korea. Tender slices of pork marinated in a spicy sauce create a tantalizing explosion of taste. Each bite is a perfect harmony of heat and sweetness, guaranteed to leave your taste buds tingling with delight. Paired with generous rice balls, it's a Korean culinary experience that will leave you craving for more. It also goes well with alcoholic beverages. - Dakttongjip (fried chicken gizzard): the gizzards are fried to perfection, creating a crispy exterior that gives way to a burst of savory goodness. Whether enjoyed as a snack or a main dish, Dakttongjip is a must-try for anyone seeking a unique and delicious Korean culinary experience. It comes with lots of whole fried garlic. - Ddakbbokeumtang (spicy chicken stew): hearty and full of flavor. Tender chunks of chicken simmered in a rich and flavorful broth, infused with a fiery blend of spices that awaken your senses with every spoonful. - Pajeon (spring onion & seafood pancake): probably the best Korean seafood pancake I've ever had. Crispy outside, soft inside, loaded with plump shrimp and fresh spring onions, it's a perfect combination of textures and tastes. 2. Ambiance Precious korean vintage stuff all around the place. Chic and inviting, with a touch of Korean charm and a great selection of K-pop music playing in the background. It's the perfect spot for a casual meal with friends and family. 3. Service Attentive and friendly staff members go above and beyond to ensure that your dining experience is nothing short of exceptional. Whether you need recommendations on what to order or just a friendly chat, they are always ready to assist with a smile. Ask for 'slush soju' - they will softly hammer the bottom of the bottle, which makes soju tastes even better, and you get to experience the fun of it. Overall, I am more than satisfied with everything this place offers. A fun place to visit with the best selection of foods. I highly recommend Noori Pocha to everyone who lives in Michigan. Do yourself a favor and pay them a visit - your taste buds will thank you!“

“Good food and friendly staff! I loved the flavors. My kids loved the Pac-Man arcade game.“

“they were super fast and the waiters took time to assist several tables who were new to the menu and had no idea what anything was. the staff was all super friendly and accommodating!“

“It was a nice, cozy place and staff was friendly. We ordered the chicken yaki udon, chicken omurice, and 4 rolls of sushi (california roll, kazoku roll, las vegas roll, square lake roll). Everything tasted great but our favorite was the las vegas, square lake roll, and the yaki udon.“

“After being introduced to Noori at the Clawson location, I was happy to find they had opened another location in Shelby! Not sure how it snuck by me for so long. The chicken is amazing! This is the only place you'll ever want to go for wings. Don't let the number of wings fool you, they're roughly twice the size of wings anywhere else and their quality is amazing. I prefer the supreme and the soy chili sauce, they're sweet, savory, and spicy. I tolerate a high level of heat and these have just a enough heat to feel for me, your mileage may vary. Dumplings are also very good! Dumplings are also fantastic. You will not be disappointed. Will be back soon! Why are you still reading, order some now!“

“We have loved everything we have ordered. You can tell that chicken is fresh and handled with care. They are happy to explain the food for newbies. We have loved Korean food for quite a while. And this food won't be just good, it will be EXCELLENT!!! Service is hands down 6⭐'s. They will apologize for the wait. But there is no need to apologize for it taking a little longer to make when the quality is exceptional. It is NOT fast food!! It's food done correctly with passion.“

“I am not exaggerating what so ever here when I say I have been here every day for the past 2 or so months. Their Rose Tteokbokki never seems to miss. My first time ever trying rose was here and I have been obsessed with it ever since. The staff are so nice and never fail to make me smile when I come in to order. Love the staff and food, if I could give this 100/5 stars I would!:)“

“10/10 experience!! The woman who took our order was very kind and helpful. Got the bibibop and it was delicious! The tofu is so crisp. Also it’s a huge portion you’ll probably have leftovers. Also fair priced, excited to go back.Vegetarian options: Delicious tofu!“

“If I could rate two hands corn dogs 1000/10 I would. The staff is phenomenal and the food is even better. Great price and great food. I live over 35 mins away and can’t wait to definitely go back.“

“The food, atmosphere, service, and overall dining experience was superb!! The menu offered a lot of great choices! We tried the edamame, Miso soup, spring rolls, and two different Sushi orders to split!! The love boat looked amazing!! I highly recommend this place for fresh and delicious food!! We will be back and will drive from the Flint area!“

“My regular sushi restaurant was closed today so I decided to try this place out. The sushi was surprisingly good. I ordered Dragon Roll, Yum Yum Roll and Firecracker. They were able to finish them within 10 minutes. Will be back for sure.“

“Love this place. Always a winner, every time.“

“Really enjoy the soy garlic flats from here. Definitely very good of you like fried anything. The spicy wings are on the spicier side so be prepared if you order that. The quality of the chicken is very good which it puts it above other fast food wing places. I usually get takeout as there's not many tables at the restaurant.“

“Oh my lord. Took the kids to lunch and man, this place is a hit! We stayed and ate to make sure we got it fresh and boy it did NOT disappoint ! Everything was hot and down right delicious! I will recommend this place to everyone and anyone looking for great food!“

“I am absolutely outraged with the behavior of the owner today at SOHO. My family and I went to this restaurant after Saturday little league games. We had 5 adults, 5 children and 2 babies. We have been to this restaurant countless times as a family. Today, after sitting and looking an menus, ordering drinks, we were met by the manager that came to our table and said “I’m sorry our limit is 8 people”. Confused, we asked for clarity because again, we have been to this restaurant countless times with the SAME group and number of people. In fact, we have NEVER been to this restaurant with less people. I asked, “wait are you saying we can’t eat here today because of the number of people?“ THAT is how confused I seriously was. The manager then responded, “Yes, I’m so sorry”. I pointed out to him that we had been sitting, getting ready to order for quite some time. Moments before this, the waiter came to take our orders but had to leave to grab us extra napkins. He said that his waiter called him all the way from his home because he couldn’t “do it” - referring to asking us to leave. There were quite a few other staff members there. So if this was a rule, why didn’t any of them point it out to the “new person” or let us know right away Of their “party limit”.? Please know we went on a Saturday around 330pm and there was two other parties in the entire restaurant - totaling only 5 other people. To me, if I had a party that was a few people over my “limit” I would not kick them out one, but definitely not when my restaurant is close to empty and the party has already been sat. Because of my “new team members” error- as a manager, I would have continued to serve this party. I need to point out that NONE of us in our entire lives have ever been asked to leave ANYWHERE. We are a Christian family of Pastors and ministers. I say this to speak to our character. There was no behavior on our end, that warranted this. I also pointed out that the table we were sitting at was DESIGNED for more than 10 people. We didn’t come into the restaurant moving tables and chairs together, the table was already set up for 12 people to sit there. I asked the manager why we were sat and waited on For all this time to then be kicked out? He claimed that the person who was our waiter was new and didn’t know their 8 people limit rule. I pointed out the fact that the table we were sitting at was set up for 12 And asked why that is if they had a limit of 8? He then said with our number of kids - it is not safe for them in the restaurant because their establishment serves alcohol. So first it was because our party was more than 8 and then it turned into being an issue with the number of kids? There is absolutely no reason for this behavior. To me, the only thing that makes any sense is it being racially discriminatory. I strongly urge you to no longer go to this restaurant. Of course, we left with no issue because if we are not welcome or wanted because of race or any other invalid reason- we don’t want to eat at the restaurant anyways. But point of my review is to prevent this from happening to anyone else. we used to love this place and our entire family would come. never again, even with 2 people will I step foot in this establishment and I will strongly encourage everyone I know and everyone that’s reading this to do the same.“

“A solid and tasty place for a fast bite. Service was friendly yet professional. Food was prepared fresh-to-order. Dog was so yummy! Had the spicy sausage with spicy coating. Such a tasty treat! Will go again when in the area.Parking: Plenty of parking, including the adjacent free parking garage.“

“Everything was delicious! I had the jangtuktukbap and barley tea. My Dad got the kimchi jiggae and beef jap chae. We loved all of it. The seaweed was also the best I've ever had.“

“Very good Ramen dishes that my son and I had. Will definitely eat there again.“
