Hanshin Pocha

fun social vibe and good food! the service is pretty quick, and they are open super late.we got the chicken mozzarella cheese fondue, tteokboki, and DIY rice ball. these were all perfect for sharing and fun to eat. i will say they were super flavorful, so I recommend getting a variety of dishes.i came back here a second time, and the drinks are lacking. we got a blue lemonade and mango highball, and the blue lemonade one literally tasted like dishwater...

I can't recall who recommended this spot, but it did not disappoint and was better than I'd thought it would be. I decided to stop by (without making a reservation) on a Wednesday night with my family and the entire restaurant was empty. We were the only customers there the entire time. I'm assuming more people come here for a late night meal rather than dinner?We ordered the following items and it was more than enough for the 4 of us. - Cheese Pork BBQ - the pork was tender and had a little kick to it and paired perfectly with the mozzarella cheese. - Hanshin Chicken - a whole chicken that is extremely crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. It even comes with seasoning on the side to dip the chicken in. - Stir-Fried Seafood - loved the crispy fried noodles and all the seafood that came with it but could have used a bit more flavor. I would stop by again to try other items on their menu. Telegraph Ave is known for many Korean restaurants but parking can be a bit tricky due to limited street parking.

Food was excellent. 5 stars. Our server was really nice but our order got messed up and somehow the order didn't get placed. We waited for 25 minutes and then called them to find out where our food was. This is when they realized their mistake. We had our food 5 minutes later...And it was very good. We had never been here before but glad to find it. They give you a flashing light on your table to alert the server if you need anything which I thought was a really good idea. It's busy and loud so it really helped get their attention. We ordered the chadol Sundubu-Jjigae or spicy stew with tofu and juicy beef brisket. It was enough for 2 to share.

I can here for late night eats after a concert on a Friday night and I really loved the vibes! I honestly love the chairs. They were weirdly so comfortable and low to the ground but something about it stood out to me.We ordered two dishes and I just remembered the pork with cheese being very salty. You were supposed to wrap it in the cheese, and so that would make things better. I definitely love a good spicy, sour, salty, cheesy, combo at night so it hit the spot for me! The portion sizes are also huge. Me and 2 friends were stuffed!

Super fun + authentic pocha to get some drinks and finger foods with friends in the area. Only thing for me would be that a lot of things are pretty pricey.I would come for the nightlife vibes, splurge on drinks mostly, and only get small finger foods like jeon and chicken for a night out here.

Stopped by here with a friend and it was relatively busy. They seated us pretty quickly. I will say, the vibes were very good. We were definitely the smallest group in the restaurant and after getting seated and our menu, we ordered drinks and said we needed some time with the menu and they gave us a lot of time. When we did order, food came pretty quickly and was solid. Is it my new favorite Korean spot? No, but it's a great place if you want to wow a friend with a cheese pull.

This spot is perfect for late night eats or a night out with a group of friends! Service is super quick and attentive and I love how they added the fake siren light to notify them.Must orders:Spicy Pork with CheeseKimchi StewWhole Fried Chicken

Hanshin Pocha stands out from other pochas for serving unique Korean dishes. I've dined in this establishment a couple times and find this place to be super packed, whether it be a weekday or weekend night.My favorite items are the whole grilled squid, chicken feet, garlic and pepper fried chicken, and soft tofu soup. All items were really flavorful and had the perfect amount of seasoning or spice. I've never experienced spicy stir-fried chicken feet, so this dish absolutely blew me away! I loved how the grilled squid was not too chewy as well. Generous portions of crispy and crunchy fried chicken. The cheese is so addicting to eat and pairs well with meat and fried items.This restaurant is great for small and large groups, but I recommend coming with more people to try more items. Most dishes are priced around $30, but I think it's reasonable in terms of quality and portions.

This is just based on my DoorDash delivery order and I have not dined in person. I haven't tried soy sauce marinated raw crab before, but plenty of the spicy marinated kind especially when I lived in LA. I have been wanting to try since I see it all over social media and wanted to see if it lived up to the hype. And it did not disappoint at all and I am so glad I was able to try it here. The flavor is perfectly balanced, and the crab meat is so creamy and with the rice mix that you pay extra for all blended together, it's just amazing. I would definitely be ordering from here again if I am in the area. Next time I would order two so I can have more leftovers!

Hanshin Pocha is a fun late night hang out spot! They have a wide variety of Korean dishes. I came here with a group of 8, and we ordered family-style. This is the best since the dishes are large and perfect for sharing. We arrived around 7:30 p.m., and the restaurant wasn't as busy as it was later. I suggest making reservations if possible. The staff is friendly, and service is fast.Now for the food, we tried several dishes.-Chadol Sundubu, Spicy Beef Stew 5/5: this soup was delicious! The flavor was great and it wasn't salty.-DYI Rice Ball 5/5: I love this dish. It is simple but quite palatable. The mix of all the ingredients makes the rice balls very flavorful. We tried two kinds, regular and tuna. I have to say I like the simplicity and flavor of the regular ones but the tuna one was good too. Pork Mozzarella Cheese Fondue 5/5: This was a very delicious dish. I was surprised how good it was. I am always skeptical when I order pork because it can be dry at times. It wasn't here at all! It was very tender, and the spices with the cheese mix were perfection! - Yangnyeom Chicken 3.5/5: I'm not a huge fan of the chicken. Other dishes tasted better to me but some people in my party loved it.Fried Chicken Gizzards 3.5/5: They were good, a bit too oily for my taste, but the flavor was good. I didn't eat a lot of this dish. -Kimchi Fried Rice 2/5: this was not a good dish. I was pretty disappointed. The rice was swimming in cheese, and it didn't taste like kimchi fried rice. I wouldn't order it again. Overall, this is a fun place for a late-night hangout with a group of friends. The food isn't outstanding, but they have some good dishes. The atmosphere makes this place better!
