Pocha Street

Pocha was PHENOMENAL! If you're looking for delicious food, excellent service, and immersive ambiance, look no further than here. Jae and Mun were so gracious, and gave us a KBBQ experience like we'd never had before; I was definitely fangirling over the atmosphere, like we were in the heart of Seoul or something.The meats, the cheese corn and sausage, and the side dishes were chefs kiss, and neck and neck with how well we were looked after.So, do yourself a favor, and go to Pocha! You won't regret it, and you'll feel spoiled by Jae and Mun.

Me and a couple of my friends came here on a cold rainy evening. The place looked like it used to be a diner and gave those types of vibes but in a Korean street food way.One of my friends is gluten free so we got the two meats that were not marinated (the pork belly and the beef).Inside the place was super cute! Each table were decorated like street food tables in Asia. I really felt like I was transported to Korean to get some good food!The meats are good and fresh. It was a bit pricey but we split everything. We also go two orders of Korean fried chicken (soy garlic). Those boneless chickens were really good.I had to order a side of rice since they didn't give us rice with the banchan but it's all good. The staff was very nice and even helped us cook the food. We all had a great time and the food was excellent! Would love to return and try the different cuts next time :)

Pros:-good vibes for large crowds-attentive servers/owner-a lot of options (food)Cons:-meat needs more seasoning/flavorWill come back for the vibes.

Love this place! It truly captures the vibe of Korean street food. Everything was great, except the meats--I wish they were fresher and of better quality. The staff were fantastic, and we had a blast with the sojuboom they made for us. Highly recommend if you want an authentic Korean street food experience!

Before my review, let me address a few inevitable comments:1. Yes, it's expensive. Find me a local kbbq place that isn't! Budget at least $50/person, more if you're drinking. They did not appear to have an all-you-can-eat option.2. Yes, you have to cook the food yourself. That's part of the concept. If you don't want to cook your own food, eat at a different type of restaurant. Also, the things that are labeled as spicy are... actually spicy. Caveat emptor.3. I do not know if they can accommodate your dietary restriction, or if they have high chairs. I didn't ask about vegan/gf options, which weren't labeled on the menu. I didn't see any kids or a kid menu.Anyway -- long story short, my husband and I really liked it and will definitely be taking friends and family here.The food: They specialize in trendier korean dishes that are hard to find at more traditional restaurants. The banchan (little side dishes) were flavorful and unique, and really help cut through the richness of the meat. My best bite was tied between a ssam (lettuce wrap) filled with bulgogi, spicy kimchi, and garlicky sesame sauce, and a clump of thinly sliced ribeye dipped in salt/pepper/sesame oil and eaten with a thin slice of raw garlic. The bbq meats also came with a few little piece of vegetables (broccoli, squash, onion), which empowered me to eat a massive plate of meat without any hesitation. We also tried the tteokkbokki which was spicy and addictive with pillowy rice cakes and a perfectly boiled egg. Next time I'd like to try the fried chicken, the stews, and pretty much everything else.Service: The waiter was helpful and friendly, and regularly checked on us to make sure we weren't burning anything. They have little buttons at each table you can press to call a waiter over, but we didn't really need it. The waiter also did a cool party trick with the soju that I can neither replicate nor describe. I noticed a couple phone mounts at tables, not sure what that's about--selfie station? mukbang equipment?Environment: The restaurant interior is fun and quirky without being overly polished, as it's designed to look like a street eatery. Each table has a vent/fan that extends down to grill to really capture all the smoke. They play kpop on the stereo system and it is a smidge loud, which could make communication difficult if you're hard of hearing. I got the vibe that it's a bit of a party atmosphere Friday/Saturday night, and I think it'd be a fun place to get a little sloppy on soju with friends.I took a few pictures, but didn't get one of the headless 12 foot skeleton in the corner. You'll have to go and see for yourself!

First off, this unsuspecting place needs to be on your list, here's why:Once you step in, you're definitely transported to a cozy restaurant where you know you can just sit down and have an amazing meal. The atmosphere is inviting and every table is set up in a way that you're going to have an closer experience with your friends. Next, the service was amazing. Our waiter came by and took our huge order with ease and checked in on us multiple times to make sure we were fine. We were even approached by other staff to make sure we were fine. We didn't even have to ask for water refills, the waiters just came by and did it as soon as we ran out of water!The food was also top tier. The side dishes were plentiful, the wings were probably the best wings I've ever had compared to the usual places like Soho, BonChon, Tsao caa, the fish tofu stew was so good even though it was hot that I just downed several skewers easily. The corn cheese was also pretty good! The meat, from set A, however, weren't plentiful but enough to keep us so full that we didn't need anything else! The staff also helped us start cooking and then we did the rest on our own.I'd highly recommend coming by for the amazing food, amazing staff, and amazing atmosphere!Shout out to our waiter for giving two free bottles of soju for my birthday too!

We had the set special A with galbi, finger rib, inner ribeye, and spinallis. The finger rib was really good - flavoring is great and the meat is tender and juicy. Galbi is cut off the bone and is softer than what I expected. The other rib cultus were also good but not flavored so I preferred the finger rib and galbi. We also had the soy garlic Korean chicken wings and they were excellent as well. We didn't order any sides and I would say that we probably could have added another item, maybe more chicken wings or some more meat. Ambience is very cute. Each table is set off with clear curtains so it feels like you're in a little pod. Service is great. They also help you get started with the cooking. The restaurant has its own parking lot so parking is easy. Overall food is very good. Would highly recommend for anyone looking for Korean bbq in the PA area.

Very good, got the sampler. Could be better value since we barely had any to take home with us despite only being a party of 2 and it was $100

I've known the owner for quite some time now. I've been here before when it was an AYCE kbbq place. From that time until now, the whole experience itself has been elevated to the next level. It's now an a la carte place!When you walk in, you feel like you're walking into a night market in korea. The vibes, energy, music and ambiance transported me into Seoul! The staff were extremely attentive, checking in to make sure that you're doing okay, or if you need anything. The food is on the pricier side, BUT-- the food is AUTHENTIC. The cuts of meats are soooo juicy and tender. The way that the staff cooks the food for you ensures that it is cooked to the exact right temperature and has the best texture. The meats don't taste like anything but total deliciousness. We also got the army stew.. and let me tell you how large the stew was. It was MASSIVE. It came with noodles, spam, cheese, kimchi, etc. it was such a great comfort food that help cut out the fats from the meat. It was the perfect spice and sour, and it really just hit home. Phillys kbbq scene isn't that great, and it's super disappointing. But, pocha definitely ranks #1 in my books for bbq done right. If you want to take a step into Seoul and for some good eats, stop by Pocha!

If you haven't been here yet, must try kbbq spot. The layout, atmosphere, you'll definitely get that street food vibes feel. Ordered was 2 of their pre-fixed meat sets, 20 piece Korean fried chicken, and of course you have to do it right and pair it with soju. The meats cooked fresh on the grill was delicious, the wings, perfect amount of crunch, spicy, all so good. And the best part, you get Korea and his wife to join in for a cheers
