About this place
Several diners report that the staff help cook and cut the samgyeopsal. The pork is wrapped in vegetables and eaten with sauce or gochujang once it is ready; leaving the cooking to the staff while assembling each wrap yourself is part of the experience. Poccha offers a set with 150g of thick-cut pork belly, alongside rice, soup, haemul pajeon, japchae, kimchi and pickled vegetables. It makes a satisfying meal for anyone who wants pork at the centre of the table, with kimchi and side dishes to mix in along the way.
Some diners mention the pork’s sweetness, and others describe ordering samgyeopsal with jjigae. The sundubu-jjigae set meal is one way to add a spicy soup to the meal. One diner was surprised by its heat but found it moreish as the meal went on. For something different from grilled meat, the naengmyeon set comes with a mini pajeon. Diners have also chosen naengmyeon for lunch, making it an option when you want a lighter meal.
Another dish to look out for is sannakji, described on the menu as live octopus sent from Korea. Diners report eating it with yangnyeomjang or sesame salt and pepper; it offers a different Korean speciality from the set meals. The menu lists it as seasonal, so check whether it is available that day if you have your heart set on trying it. Drinks include draft beer and makgeolli, while non-alcoholic beer is also available.
