Seoul Pocha Korean Pub/Grill - Gainesville (FL)

5 /5 Bean Bean: Great service from Josh, very attentive, helpful explaining menu, food served quickly, fairly generous portion sizes, nice balanced flavor, nothing was too sweet or salty. We got japchae and paduk chicken. Wasn’t the biggest fan of the sauces but the chicken itself was excellent with a great crispy fry without being oily and tasty flavoring without being super salty

3 /5 Jimmy Lee: The marinated source is too sugary for me. I have eaten at many Korean restaurants, but this is a first one that offers only 1 banchan, a kimchi dish(side dish). Really?

5 /5 Valeria Sarmiento: I had an amazing experience at Seoul Pocha! The food was absolutely delicious. We ordered the tteokbokki, corn dog, and jajangmyeon, and everything was full of flavor and perfectly cooked. The service was just as impressive: very attentive, friendly, and always ready to help. From start to finish, everything exceeded my expectations. I’ll definitely be coming back and highly recommend this spot to anyone looking for great Korean food and excellent service!

5 /5 deborah olmstead: Service is outstanding, so friendly and helpful if you need or want recommendations. Server checked on me throughout my meal, and even had a conversation with me as I was dining alone, we had a great talk about several things. I love this place and come every time theyre open when Im in Gainesville to see doctors!!!

4 /5 Helen: We went to Seoul Pocha for a weeknight dinner and got seated super fast. The place was about half full, with K-pop music playing and music videos on the screens. You can sometimes hear the karaoke rooms, which was kinda funny but not too distracting. Portions here are huge and every dish could easily feed two or more people. The four of us ordered four dishes and still had enough leftovers for lunch the next day. The spicy squid and pork bulgogi was one of my favorites. It came out sizzling and the sauce was really good. Just the right amount of spice for someone like me with low spice tolerance. It mixed really well with rice and had a good mix of larger and smaller pieces of pork and squid. The eel rice bowl was just okay. The eel itself had a lot of tiny bones, which made it annoying to eat, and I wished the rice had that crispy clay-pot texture. There was also a lot of onion and only 2–3 pieces of eel, and the rice was a bit mushy. The spicy jjamppong was insanely spicy but really flavorful. My cousin, who puts hot sauce on everything, inhaled it. The broth was delicious, and the bowl was huge. I could only handle a few bites since it was too spicy for me, but if you love heat, this is the one to get. The jajangmyeon is a must-order every time. Huge portion, super tasty, and the noodles were soft but not overcooked. Simple toppings but always hits the spot. Only downside is that every dish has a ton of onions, but overall the food was good and portions were generous. Great spot for sharing plates with a group.
