Terrible place to dine. Never come back again. Order the fried rice with pork. Only 1 slice found in fried rice. When confronted she said for illustration purposes only. Not even close.. The kimchee is just waste of space on the plate as they serve as side banchan. Can do better job the side salad??? Seems like a lazy chef who cut the cabbage.. Just want share this place not worth going. Frustrating and wasted money..

Our first—and definitely last—visit to Pocha! at Compass One. We ordered the Bibimbap, Sagol noodles, Sundubu pork, and Crispy Chunks Yangnyeom—and were thoroughly disappointed from start to finish. The Bibimbap came with just a few limp vegetables scattered on top, clearly to mask the plain white rice base. The taste was bland and uninspired. The Sagol noodles featured beef so tough it was barely chewable, and the soup was unbearably salty. The Sundubu pork was floating in a thick layer of chili oil, had just two clams, and was missing the zucchini that was supposed to be included. It looked so unappetising we couldn’t even bring ourselves to take a photo. The Crispy Chunks Yangnyeom, advertised as “boneless chicken,” was nothing more than deep-fried flour—no chicken meat inside, just batter in every bite. The worst part? There was absolutely no service, yet we were still charged a service fee. This disappointing meal cost $75. We barely got through a few mouthfuls before we felt nauseated and had to stop eating. None of us finished our food, and we were all left with stomachaches shortly after. It’s obvious the food wasn’t fresh. Only when we were about to leave did a waitress suddenly remember to bring us the side dishes—far too late to matter. When we went to pay, the female cashier in a black uniform (likely the store manager) rudely demanded “the board” twice, without any explanation, after I handed her our food order slip. She ignored a family of over five people who had been waiting more than 10 minutes to be seated, claiming she was “very busy” even though the restaurant was far from full. Another staff member also saw them but chose to ignore them. To make things worse, the cashier refused to give us a proper receipt—only handing over the NETS slip, likely trying to avoid being identified for a complaint. The environment was also extremely warm and stuffy, with no atmosphere whatsoever—completely uncomfortable and uninviting. Overpriced food, poor quality, no service, and rude staff. We even had to seat ourselves because no one was managing the entrance. This meal wasn’t even worth one-tenth of a star—but sadly, Google reviews require at least one. #NeverAgainPocha

idk how this place get such a high rating. tldr is just very nan chi. food does not take taste authentic, and i feel like i have been scammed. the jajangmyeon is too salty and the noodles were too soft. Overall quality is like some random chinese korean food at the kopitiam - maybe even worse. after eating the dish for a certain time, it wasn’t even about the taste anymore, but the vibes it gave. it was not slaying and idk how to say it like it’s the kind of meal where u feel very disgruntled like wakao i paid for this ????? and then the hatred just breeds inside of you lol and then i left the restaurant very unsatisfied. it is expensive - we spent $30 for 2 mains. the staff also did not give us banchan until we were looking over at the other table and noticed. this is the first and last time i will eat pocha. i will not be back.

Like many who reviewed the food taste very little like actual Korean food. The beef is quite tasty because it seems to come from Seorae. But for example, the toboki dish was not hot enough and as such the cheese doesn't even melt. The kimchi soup was too salty.

The Chingu set is good. The pork sundubu is fantastic. Stir fried ramyeon is good! Sagol noodle soup is not salty but I like it though but you 重口味will find it bland. Tteokbokki is just nice and chewy. Serving portion is generous. Total cost less than $60. Their service is good! Side dishes (kimchi & radish) is free flow

Food was good and portion was generous! The $2 top up for free flow soft drinks and ice cream Was a nice touch. Can order food from Seorae too. Pretty value for money!

Don’t mind the picture, I am not the best at taking pics. But I absolutely loved the food. It smelled amazing and the broth was creamy and thick. The spam, eggs, seaweed, noodles and cucumber was just delicious in this broth. The time for the food to arrive was at a reasonable pace and the person at the counter was nice

Recommended to eat at this place. Im not picky. So chin chye lor. Not very familiar with non kbbq Korea food. Since hungry cuz no eat whole day. Ordered pork fried rice and added chicky chunks. Friends had other Korean food. Dun ask me what they were cuz I can't pronounce them, let alone spell the names. Some rice thing in a bowl and some noodle thing. My fried rice was pretty decent. Pork to rice ratio was just nice. Seaweed toppings also just right amount. I think the rice rice shd be better than that dude up north in the orange shirt. (I haven tried personally, friends tell me). No need add condiments cuz the seaweed toppings gave it nice umami. I didn't like the chicky chunks. (They tasted like chicken) But thats not the chicky chunk's fault. I just dun like chicken prepared this way. Really can't complain already at this kind of prices in an ac place. Oh the staff basically gave us sides non stop.

Commendable food and one best korean resto I’ve visited many times. The tteokbokki is one of a kind, its chewy and soft with cheesy toppings so flavourful. The staff Ms Jessa is very accommodating and friendly, she even pack my tapao nicely and tidily. Will definitely come.

Got the hot deal set with kimchi ramyeon & seafood jeon with ice lemon tea and free flow banchan. The jeon was good and the serving was generous. Atmosphere was good and nice music playing, service good.

1st try here since they opened. Ordered a creamy ramyeon, bugolgi beef and a seafood pancake. We were served condiments of kimchi even before we ordered, can ask for more if not enough. Wait for the food was slightly long, about 20mins or so. Could see the tables coming in after us also waiting as long. Both creamy ramyeon and seafood pancake were good. Served hot, really enjoyed it. Taste was great. However, the bugolgi beef was terrible. Dry and hard even with the sauce. Cold as well. Dint bother to ask for a change as it will definitely take very long to come. Only 2 staff handling everything. 1 supervisor and 1 wait staff. Bad time to visit as can see they were unable to cope. Will consider revisiting during off peak periods

Food and service is good. 2 adults 1 toddler, suit their 2pax $30 + $2.90 seafood pancake = $40. Good if no queue.

The food was delicious as the noodles were perfectly seasoned, where the spiciness matched my taste completely. The staff was very polite and kind, serving me my side dish in quick speed. Overall, the atmosphere was delightful as it was both serene and had a sense of belonging in there, thus my high score due to my extreme satisfaction while dining in.

Passed by this place at Compasspoint and had cravings for Korean so Idecided to try its tea time offer and the $10 daily offer. We ordered the $5.90 fried rice which comes with free soup, drinks and free flow banchan. The subdabar pnortion was also huge enough for 3 adults. Taste was on point satisfying my korean cravings. Jessa was really nice and prompt in serving and even helping to warm up the soup for us. She even went the extra mile for us going many times to and fro for pur banchans. Her friendly disposition really made us want to be back here! Will definitely be back to try the other food. 👍🏻
