Best Korean food in Ann Arbor

Sizzlin’ Bites, Soju Nights, Seoul Vibes Only!

Rachel Dooley

This place rocks. Service is so friendly and patient. We ordered like 10 different things and they were all excellent- most notably the bulgogi, chicken katsu, and kimchi fried rice. The ambience is cool and low key. Fun to do with a big group.

What is a Pocha?

What is a Pocha?
A pojangmacha (pocha) is a type of small tented restaurant or street stall found in South Korea, offering affordable and delicious street food, along with alcoholic beverages like soju and makgeolli. These eateries have a nostalgic charm, often creating a casual, relaxed environment where people can gather with friends or colleagues. The experience of dining at a pocha is informal and communal, which is part of its appeal, as it fosters close conversations and a sense of camaraderie.
