Reviews for Hongdae Pocha Korean BBQ in Vancouver, BC
First pocha after landing (I’m from Toronto) - chill vibes with comforting food! Got fresh pork belly, Korean army hot pot and... Korean style pork cutlets! Read more
We've ordered food for pickup countless times since the fried chicken is so incredibly good. We went a few weeks back and ate in... the restaurant and had the omelette and fried chicken, everything was fantastic and our server was great! I'm Caucasian and mywife is Chinese, there was no discrimination whatsoever. I have a feeling the people saying there is discrimination are theproblem, not the staff. They have always been exceptionally kind and helpful! To all the people leaving bad reviews, a smile andkindness goes a long way... Treat others as you would like to be treated! Read more
Very delicious Korean bbq With a good environment I like the fried chicken gizzards and the fresh pork belly bbq is the best
We came in a group of 4. The service was terrific. We interacted with more than two waitresses, and all were friendly and... helpful. The food was delicious. We ordered the two options for BBQ, and both were delicious. We definitely want to come backhere. Read more
Weekends here are lit, it's full of happy drunken crowds and the vibe is fun and rowdy. It doesn't take much time to get in as 2... people but for larger groups you'll definitely need to wait. I think it's worth it to come with more people though because theportions of food are so big that it's difficult to eat with only 2. Bring your friends and share everything. Highly recommendthe bbq pork belly with lettuce wraps! And yogurt soju or strawberry slush soju. Read more
This place is not what it used to be. The quality of the food has gone down while the price has gone way up. Seafood pancake... ($18.99) had so little batter that it was impossible to pick up and was a paper thin spread of chives stir-fry with pieces ofsquid on top. We were also told by the waiter that we had to order a main dish to get drinks. Please change this policyespecially since your food is of subpar quality. 0/5 stars. Read more
Amazing Korean bbq that serves only pork belly for its bbq menu. Comes with the green onion salad, that’s when you know it’s... good pork belly bbq. Min of 2 orders for the bbq, but it’s good for 3 portions. Also ordered their fried chicken, boneless andcrispy! 3 of us went hungry after a 7hr hike and had a great replenishment of protein and carbs here. Side dishes were alsogreat. It’s also a good place to drink some beer + soju with friends. We had a long hike so we didn’t order much alcohol toprevent dehydration. 4 stars being it was really hard to get the attention of servers amidst the busy-ness and rowdy setting ofthe restaurant. Could be better with some kind of table ringing system that’s common in Korea and even some Korean restaurantshere. Otherwise, 5 stars for the food! Read more
Hongdae Pocha is a pretty good spot to swing by on Robson. I find the food quality is always solid and the drinks menu has a bit... of something for everyone. The staff are always friendly, which is nice, but it can be difficult to get their attention attimes. The food is definitely a bit on the pricier side, so definitely keep that in mind when eating here; definitely come witha group to get a good variety of food! And come early so you're not waiting as they don't take reservations! Food: 4/5 Staff:4/5 Atmosphere: 4/5 Value: 4/5 Overall: 4/5 Read more
