Noori Chicken/ Pocha

Let's start with this place is very quant and gets very busy so get there early to stand in line or check in. There's only about 11 tables there. The good thing is Clawson has lots of things going on in the area so you can hang out at one of the local spots.The service was amazing and very fast. They were friendly and patient with us while ordering. They were well dressed and clean. The restaurant was also very clean.The food was 10/10 and I would definitely eat there again. The chicken was delicious. But the fried rice and dumplings *chefs kiss* will keep me going back.You can also do carry out if you don't want to wait to sit down. Next time I'll try carry out which I think will still be good.Also the prices are very good. I got fried rice, chicken and dumplings for under 45$. I think this was good for the area and environment.Please give them a try you will not be disappointed.

TL;DR: Awesome restaurant, give it a try.*Went to the sit-down restaurant side*Food:Got the bulgogi and was super happy with it, flavor and spice were both great. 1lb was perfect for two people. They also gave us some tteokbokki (Korean rice cake) as a complimentary appetizer and it was cooked perfectly, not overly chewy like I see at many other places.Service:Service is prompt and there is a little button to press to let the server know you need something.Ambiance:Nailed the Korean aesthetic from the decorations to the water cups. Felt almost like being in Seoul, but there's way more personal space here.Overall:Hands down my favorite restaurant on this trip and if I'm back in the area will 100% eat here again. Honestly surprised I didn't end up here twice in the two days we were in the area.

This has to be one of my favorite dining experiences of 2024 - I had been to get take out wings from here before but then I found out that they added a little seated section so I had to try it! Firstly the ambiance in here is fun and eclectic, with authentic knick knacks and posters from South Korea I believe. They have a QR code when you enter to be added to their waitlist and seem to follow having tables sit for a max of 90 min I think to keep things moving. When we came in on a Tuesday evening it was pretty busy but we had a cocktail around the corner and came back within 30 min of waiting. The service in here is great, there is a bell to ask for your waiter on your table and each chair (no backs so watch out if you have any back issues) is like an ottoman so you can put your stuff inside it which is clever and space saving!When we sat down they brought over some sort of complimentary cold noodle in tomato ? Type sauce that was really tasty! Then we ordered a few things - the japchae was amazing as was the rice and the magic fries and the bulgogi! Korean cuisine isn't my favorite but the flavors here were so on point and tasty that I would definitely love to come back here as it's a total vibe! Even the drinks we got were tasty too!In case there is a wait it is convenient to go to Weiss or whiskey foxtrot for a cocktail while waiting!

Got the eight-piece fried chicken from Noori with hot and spicy and soy garlic sauces--both were excellent. Nori never disappoints! Definitely need to dine in next time.

Noori Pocha was a good spot to hit up Sunday night before the start of another work week. A few friends and I stopped by a couple Sundays ago for a good time. We ordered a good amount of food and alcohol, which ended up being about 40 per person after tax and tip.1 LB BOOLDAK (SPICY CHICKEN W CHEESE) - 24.99+3.99 for 4 jumeok-bapI think we got medium spicy, which wasn't too bad! The chicken was nicely cooked and marinated and there was so much cheese. Getting the rice balls on the side was definitely worth it, so I'd recommend. The portion size is pretty fair for the price.JOKBAL (BRAISED PORK HOCKS) 34.99Good with a variety of sauces and garnish on the side. It looks bigger than it really is, but the meat is topped on a bunch of bones, This was delicious and went well with the romaine lettuce it comes with. I would recommend eating it with some rice, too.CORN CHEESE - 6.99Not worth it. The cheese broke immediately upon pulling and the flavor was underwhelming. I would not get this again.SAPPORO BEER (SOMEK) TOWER - 29.99Beer isn't my thing but it was smooth enough that I was able to drink 2.5 cups during the evening. A couple of my friends loved it and had at least 3-4 cups. Not too strong, either.JINRO IS BACK - 13.49It hurts that they sell each bottle for that amount here when you can get it at H Mart for much cheaper. Still, a good time. Not too strong and it's smooth.Overall, good experience as a group and less about the food or drinks. Good vibes and fun.

So come and be prepared to wait. No reservations and it's cozy in here. Convenient way to check in upon entry. Out wait was about an hour. Tables are interesting with spot to put jackets and purses inside. Be careful - your eyes may be bigger than your stomach! We ordered fries, chicken, cheese corn, shrimp pancake, and spicy pork. We had plenty left over! Can't say enough good things about the chicken!! Sooo so good.I'll be back for sure!

We went to the gastropub / eat-in side. My son and I ordered bulgogi, chicken gizzards, soy dumplings, and seafood tofu soup. We loved the bulgogi and soy dumplings. We thought the seafood soup was flavorless and dull. The chicken gizzards were chewy and hard to eat. They tasted of chicken, but were unpleasant to try to chew. We loved the atmosphere. The waitress was super helpful in picking our dishes - we just didn't like 2 of the much. We'll come back and try a few more items just to check them out and see if we can find a few more favs.

my favorite meal of 2024!!! I was blown away by this restaurant & can understand why this was the only Michigan restaurant on the NYT best restaurants of 2024 list. Waited around 70-90 mins for a table on a Friday night, but was prepared to wait! The checkin process with the QR code was super easy. We just went to a nearby bar for a few drinks while we waited for our table. There was a service button on the table & food was served super quickly after ordering. Loved the atmosphere and have never experienced anything else like it in Michigan. My personal favs were the bulgogi, corn cheese & beer tower (duh!!). Every dish we ordered was amazing & everyone in my group was content w/ their meal. I know they are not hurting for business, but I will still be recommending to everyone I know!

Magic Fries (5/5): The fries were solid themselves (fairly crispy outside and soft inside), but the magic seasoning brought it to another level. It tasted a little like a sweeter version of the white cheddar popcorn seasoning and I thought it worked incredibly well with the fries. Usually I like to dip fries in some kind of sauce, but this didn't need it at all.Sweet+Spicy Wings (3/5): Good flavor with just the right amount of heat, but the exterior was pretty soggy and had very little crunchiness. The meat was also just ok. A little stringy and wetter than I like.Soy Garlic Wings (3/5): Not as sweet as other soy garlic wings I've had. Crunchier than the sweet+spicy wings, but still not nearly crunchy enough. RATING SYSTEM5 - Great (Need to get this again)4 - Good (Would get this again)3 - Ok (Might give this another shot)2 - Not Good (Won't get this again)1 - Bad (Telling people to avoid this)

My fiancé, sister, and I stopped here for lunch on my birthday and we ordered some of the wings and the dumplings. The main seating area was closed for lunch but there's still a few tables for lunch. I thought the flavor of the dumplings were incredible and it was a fantastic deal. I would definitely recommend checking this place out and I plan to keep it in my rotation for good Asian comfort food!
