Pocha Is Back is a late-night Korean pub with a menu built around fried chicken, soju, and volcano kimchi fried rice with cheese. The dining room is small, and the energy shifts through the night — a calmer dinner scene early on that turns rowdier and more crowded as the hours go. Austin Karaoke sits next door for anyone looking to extend the night.
The restaurant has built a reputation as something of a local gem, with regulars citing the atmosphere, service, and authenticity of the food. That said, other diners have pointed to inconsistency in the kitchen and portions that don't always match the prices, and much of its foot traffic has been driven by social media buzz around the room's look and feel as much as the menu itself.
