Pochakaya, a delightful Korean restaurant located in Carrollton, TX, has quickly become a local favorite, resonating with diners for its warm ambiance and exceptional service. Patrons, like Knockout Gaming, appreciate the inviting vibe and unbeatable prices, especially during happy hour. The food is a culinary delight, complemented by attentive staff like Chris and Noah, who elevate the dining experience with their recommendations.

Food enthusiasts rave about signature dishes such as the pork belly with garlic and the spicy pork & squid stir fry, touted by Jocelyn P as a must-try.

Just finished dining here and I have to say it was a very warm and inviting experience. The food was great, the vibe was easy-going and the prices are damn near unbeatable when compared to the portions. Arriving at happy hour is also a must! Lastly our server (Chris) deserves the world. A very kind, patient and caring employee who without a doubt adds to the experience.

Absolute yes for me. The vibes, the food, the staff were just chefs kiss. Some friends wanted to take me here when I came into town because they liked it so much. Gonna be upset when I start craving this place tho. I hope they come to Houston! I recommend the pork belly with garlic and the spicy pork & squid stir fry.

Had a great meal tonight with excellent service. The skewers came to the table piping hot and full of flavor. The spicy edemame as a free starter was a pleasant surprise. A great date night. Noah was amazing and his recommendations were spot on. Price was more than reasonable and we left satisfied and excited to come back again.

The food here is great. We had 12 dishes that was tasty. We started off with the Ube drink, it had some sort of rice at the bottom that was delicious. The honey butter wings plus cheese was our first dish, and the chicken was crispy and the cheese was just the right gooey. Next was the pork belly yakitori, the texture was tender. French fries was thick cut and crispy good. Then bulgogi was served with a good flavor. We all enjoyed it. Next came the Rose Tteokbokki. It had the right amount of spice. The next dish was fried pork garlic. it was served with three sauces. The pork was crispy and had whole garlic that we ate with the pork. The Odaeng Tang (fish cake soup) was soothing. The egg roll with spice sauce were cooked perfectly. All cooked and not a single burn spot. My favorites was probably the rice ball. It came in five (we ate two before we remembered to take a pic. The seafood pancake was also delicious. Last but not least, we had the scallop that finished the night. Service was great. Josh was so nice. Every server was attentive and came over several times to ask if we needed anything. The place was alive with a good atmosphere. The bonus is they are open till 2am on weekends. We will definitely come back.

It was a lot of fun, but most importantly, the food and cocktails were so good. They have the best Takoyaki, and we tried the pork belly Yakitori that tasted and smelled heavenly. Their highball are sweet and tasty (loved their guava mango one). Will be back.

This place is the great combination of Korean Pocha and Japanese izakaya! Highball was amazing with suntory whiskey. Food was also very delicious and authentic Korean and Japanese just like I had in Korea and Japan.

Pochakaya is a little ways out in Carrollton but worth the trek! Last night was totally supposed to be chill but 9.99 soju bottles just happened to be on special (deal through next Friday!) The food was delicious, y’all. The yakitori *chefs kiss* amazing. I appreciate that Pochakaya offered different types of cuts of meats. From juicy chicken breast to tender beef tongue, all freshly grilled using binchotan coals right in front of you. The sushi was fresh, perfect sized cuts and presentation was . Text your group of friends and go tonight. I definitely recommend sitting on the yakitori side!
