Pocha is short for Pojanmacha in Korea. The exact definition of Pojanmacha is "Tented Cart on Wheels" that serves street food with drinks. Over the years, pojanmacha has developed more into a brick and mortar style and has similar feel that of Japanese style Izakaya. It is an intimate but causal spot to share good food and drinks with friends. We focus on Asian fusion with a concentration on Korean food.

    Sitting at the counter was a lot of fun. We really enjoyed watching the chefs cook up everyone’s food, but made it hard, as we wanted to order everything that was coming out. Great service! Brian, the Chef was a very friendly guy too. Will be going back again soon.

    I am a huge fan of MPocha! This time, though, I’d say there weren’t as many vegetarian options on the menu as usual. And much of the food is too spicy - go easier on the peppers.

    Food was good, unfortunately we ordered a drink made with pepper infused mezcal that ended up burning out our palettes, which didn't help enjoy the food.
