Urban Pocha

Went out for drinks with a friend and was craving some Korean bar food/snacks, so we were happy to find Urban Pocha! We ordered the Strawberry Sojito, which was sweet and refreshing, and the corn cheese, which was solid. Portions were decent, so I'd definitely recommend ordering a few different dishes to get a good taste of the menu. The price point can be a bit steep, so it's probably best to come with a group to share and try more items. A nice surprise was the free shrimp chips they gave us while we waited for our food - such a small touch but much appreciated! The vibes were cool, and I'd be down to come back to hang out with friends and try more of the menu.

What a fun new addition to Old Town Pas! Urban Pocha is a great Korean American-style bar to hang out with friends, a great nighttime third place. I came with some friends when we were waiting for dinner at another place in Old Town Pas that was going to be a two hour wait. We decided to stop by for some drinks and snacks in the meantime. Urban Pocha is located on Fair Oaks, walkable from Colorado. The inside is spacious with lots of seats. It's dark with some fun neon light decor on the tables. There's also one Asian-style photo booth in the corner which we didn't use. For snacks, we got the tteokbokki and sausage skewers, steamed egg, and kimchi pancake. We thought these were snacks, but they were not snack-sized. The egg and pancake were huge, like full-on entree portion sizes! The food was good though, and I'd want to come back to try some other items. The drink menu has a good variety of drinks based on different hard liquors, beer, soju, and even makgeolli. I got the peach sour and it was delicious. Will def be back with friends again in the future!

I love this restaurant! Although, I feel like it's a bit underrated. The vibes and interior gives pocha. This is our 3-4th time here. I fell in love with this place the first time we came. However... I do feel like the quality of the food is going downhill. We ordered the honey chicken and yangnyum chicken. They are way too saucy. The sauce is delicious but it is SO slathered, it's almost soup-y. The fries were either fried for too long or fried in old oil. The steamed egg was my favorite. So jiggly and soft. The spam and Kimchi fried rice is okay. May be spicy, if you don't have a high spice tolerance. They have a bar in the back and TV's lining the restaurants. Nice place to watch a game and get drinks with friends ! Service is always good but the quality of food has gone down since our first visit. I will keep giving this place a try though because the flavors are there !

There arent many Korean bar food restaurants within the 626 so this is the best we can get without going all the way to ktown. The restaurant is alot bigger than it looks, super spacious and decorated super cutely inside with kpop, kdrama, and media posters all over. After looking over the menu several times, we ordered the buy one get one Makgeolli deal, the corn and seafood pancake, the brisket rose tteokbokki, and the bossam plate. The pancakes came out first, the corn one is exactly how it sounds just corn and batter fried, super basic. The seafood one had more onions than batter or seafood but still pretty good. I wish the onions were chopped smaller because it took up way too much room of the actual pancake. I probably would skip on the both of these. The rose brisket tteokbokki was actually not bad. The sauce was mild in taste and not too sweet. It came with udon, brisket, and sausages that were snappy. This was yummy and sharable, but for me I got tired of the flavor fast. The bossam was a bit odd and not your typical bossam plate. Instead of pickled cabbage it came with just lettuce which I feel like throws the whole thing off. The sauce it came with was too sugary. The actual pork belly was cooked okay, but not thin and boiled enough to be considered for a Korean Bossam. I don't think I would get this again. Overall I think if I were to come back here itd be to try other menu items, the pricepoint is steep for the portions, but its nice to come here with friends if you're nearby. However if you can make it to ktown, id always prefer going directly to ktown for korean food ~

Going to recommend parking at one of the lots, we parked in the Delacey lot but the one on green is fine too. Our server was such a little cutie twink who was so fun and gave some lovely recommendations. The strawberry soju cocktail thing was good, maybe not worth the price for amount of alcohol but it was tasty. He also strongly recommend corn cheese, which I like but my friend does not. The thing is it's like $14 for corn cheese and $15 for brisket stew with rice lol I can't understand the pricing for it other than it must be very popular or the ingredient cost must be quite high. I got the honey garlic wings, which were $18.95 pretax and they did taste good but wow the oil was insane amount. It did come out quickly so I'm pretty sure it was plated without draining. Loved that they start you off with some shrimp chips. I'll probably consider coming back I've had better and worse Korean bar food. Good vibes for casual hang out.

I love the food here, esp the Korean chicken wings, so unhealthy but sooo good The army stew here is also really good! The vibes here are upbeat and they have a decent selection of drinks. Don't forget to order a seafood pancake too.

(I gave four stars but it's really more of a 3.5) Super cute and hip place! Came here for my birthday, and they gave a little choco pie with a sparkler. They were pretty attentive despite being busy. Food-wise, the risotto was the star of the show. The army stew was also good, but you can't ever really go wrong with army stew. All the other dishes we thought was only okay. Still prefer the chicken feet from Hanshin Pocha in Rowland Heights. Drinks were good. Would come back again just to have the risotto!

We stumbled upon here because of the interior. It's a huge spot with lots of colors and neon table centers. This is a korean food spot so you'll see TVs everywhere showing kpop music videos. A fun spot because everyone is have a good time and drinking. Another plus is this place closes later than other spots! The menu is extensive with many korean dishes. I enjoyed a lot of them and if you haven't tried korean foods before, this is a good spot to try it out for a modern-ish take.
