It really feels like you have left New Jersey and have entered into Korea. The food, soju, and vibe is fantastic here. A fun time to bring friends and family for a night of drinking and bar food!

A highlight of dining in Port Lee. The food here is delicious, the staff friendly, and the ambiance of the place served as a great place to meet friends, talk loudly, and enjoy a good night. I would recommend their Seafood Pancake, which is perfectly crispy, their corn cheese, and their fried chicken. While the army soup is good, I found the taste to be a little on the sour side and not worth the price.

Really enjoy this pocha! We got seated immediately whereas some other pochas in the area have too long of a wait. The interior is awesome and is conducive to big groups & less hectic conversation. I recommend the corn cheese & padak.

Went with family and got seated immediately by respectful workers. If you need anything, you just need to press the button on the wall and a worker will come by shortly. The food was very authentic to Korean culture and I would definitely recommend for taste alone but also recommend for the atmosphere. It is laid back and a little loud but every table is minding their own business.

Cute spot to come for some drinks and food! I love that there were so many booth for us to sit. It felt very private which I love. I also loved that the music was not so loud like some other pocha places. You can actually have a conversation here! We had the beef brisket with chives. This was delicious however the beef was definitely not brisket but some thinly sliced beef that was more like your regular bulgogi. This didn't bother us tho because it was really delicious We also ordered the fiery chicken and cheese and thought this was delicious as well. Very cheesy and the chicken had a nice spicy flavor. Service was good even though there was only one waitress tending to all the tables. I just wished they have some beer on tap. Only bottles for now Overall a solid spot and definitely recommend!

12.03.2022 10/10 Rice balls They're basically kimbap in a ball with a lot more rice; absolutely delicious! I don't see it on their online menu, but if you can order it in the restaurant. I believe these are meat-free, but don't quote me on it! We also ordered the beef brisket with chives and the spicy jokbal (chicken feet)! They were both really good. It was my first time trying korean spicy jokbal; I was pleasantly surprised! The place has strong pocha vibes, the restaurant was packed by 10pm! Waiters were really friendly :) Would highly recommend!

This is a review for their karaoke section. I had made a reservation a week in advance and secured the largest room. This is waaay bigger than anything you'll get in Ktown (and less of a hassle to get to). It's $5 pp/hr if you have four or more people. A few complaints though. The song book and controller were pretty much all in Korean. While there were some classic songs available, they really need to update the English section. They said the controller and book were being used in a different room and they only had one copy. If you are not in a Korean group, definitely reserve it in advance. It was a bit hard to navigate but they finally explained it to us. Additionally there's a service bell to ring to place orders and drinks. Ours unfortunately was broken so we had to keep walking out to the waitstaff. Overall it was a great experience, and I'm definitely coming back. The restaurant is amazing, but the karaoke section definitely needs a more TLC.
