Hanshin Pocha

God this place is my new favorite spot and I’m praising sweet Jesus that our new apartment is only five minutes away. I haven’t had sundae (Korean blood sausage) this good since I left Korea, and they have GREAT pig’s feet also! It’s that good old-​fashioned, hearty Korean bar food. The cheese ddukbokki (spicy rice cake) is really comforting and delicious… very smart recipe. I’m a huge fan of their bulgogi too, which is notable because I often don’t like the cut of meat most place use. Their bulgogi is extremely tender and the marinade they use is perfect.
The portions are pretty hefty here, so you’ll likely take home leftovers. The servers are really nice too! I’m an immigrant and my Korean is rusty because I’ve had to adapt to life in America, but the staff really helped me feel comfortable about speaking Korean again (which is so important to me and honestly almost made me cry). Also at a few places now I’ve noticed the restaurant owners have been really cold to me when I bring my husband because we’re an interracial couple, but everyone was very sweet and no one stared or made us uncomfortable.
¹⁰⁄₁₀ would recommend, I’m absolutely coming back here.

Must try the spicy Galbi here. It is to die for. This is definitely a Korean spot for drinking and eating spicy salty food. Some days it gets pretty packed here but for the most part you can find a nice booth to sit in. The owner is super friendly. Would definitely come again.

Incredibly large portions of meat. Unlike many other Korean BBQ’s, the staff here are friendly and are mostly attentive. What’s more is that they give up a lot, and i mean a lot of banchan, which is Korean for small side dishes. Overall, it was fun coming here with friends, cooking our own meat, and even tasting their glories soup dishes. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

It’s a nice, small Korean bar where you can get drinks and Korean-​bar-​like snacks while you drink. They give you a complimentary bowl of Odang tang (fish cake soup), which is pretty awesome IMO. I’ll have to come back to try the chadol (brisket) because we saw one of the tables ordering it. Will check back with you all and let you know. As far as Korean bar food goes, it’s pretty legit.

Great food! Great service!
Cheese bul dak, boodae jji jun gol, Bo ssam,
Kong chi Kim chi jorim were excellent! !. even Oden (free appetizer) was delicious too!
Love to visit again! !

Felt compelled to leave a review since there is only one other.
Stopped by for a late dinner and some soju on a Tuesday night. This place serves Korean style bar food.
Had the pork kimchi stew another dish that I don’t know how to say in English (something like spicy sauteed intenstines + Korea sausage). To put it simply, the food was great. The food is a bit pricey, but the same can be said for the vast majority of the Korean food in Chicago. They also serve complimentary oh-​deng tang (fish cake + broth) at the beginning of the meal that is oh so good. The service was also fine, though typically speaking Korean = better service.

Frist of all, their service was bad. The girl (waitress) did not even smile or say hello to us since we walked into the restaurant. We said Hi and she just walked by to serve foods. We were waiting for her about 10 mins till she came and asked how many people. No one took the order so i had to walk to the reception counter to order the food. The seat was not comfortable and dirty. Again, no one said thank you or anything when we walked out. The reason why I gave 2 stars because the foods were ok. We ordered beef Bulgogi and spicy pork.
