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.

    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.

    Lovely experience dining outside. Inside always seems quite loud- so I’ve always opted for outdoors. Food was exceptional. Especially broiled oysters. Very personable wait staff. My second time here and I’ll be back for sure.

    This was our 2nd night in a row to dine at Juju's, we were greeted again promptly by the same Hostess from the first night ( hate I didn't get her name again) but this time she greeted me by using my name which was a very important notice for me. Our server tonight was Brea and once again she was fantastic. I asked her about several drinks and dishes which she made great recommendations. Overall experience again great and I look forward to trying yet other dishes.

    The service provided by our waiter, Seth, was excellent. He was attentive and patient. He was knowledgeable of the menu and made some great recommendations. The food was quite delicious. We had spicy lamb sausage, empanadas, arugula salad, mussels, short ribs, and cauliflower. All was prepared well and was flavorful.
