Pocha 54 Korean Tapas

This is such a great place. My wife and I were just looking at the menu outside and the manager was kind enough to talk to us and welcome us in. We ordered 4 different dishes and all were very tasty and fresh. If I had more room in my stomach, I would have ordered more. Everything looked really good. The attention given to us by the manager and waitress never left us feeling forgotten. All was just right here. I will return another day to enjoy more.

Was here for my friend's birthday. The food and drinks were definitely overpriced. Soju was 13.54 but you can find this for under 5 at H-Mart and other Asian convenience places. Taste of the food was fine, but not anything to brag home about. Should definitely come as it has a pretty cool atmosphere.

The food here is fantastic! We've been three times and never been disappointed. Great atmosphere as well, and the staff is very nice. My only issue is in the summer there aren't that many indoor tables, but at least there are plenty outdoors for the rest of the year.

We went here for the soft opening on 4/27. It's in the new High Street development in Phoenix but close to North Scottsdale. The ambiance is definitely social media or the "gram" ready. Plenty of areas for pictures. The front door is massive and pivots open like other modern 5 star establishments. And if you love K-pop music, then you'll enjoy that as they play that throughout the restaurant to counter the sleepy "old folk" music at Blue Martini nearby.

The waitress was super nice and walked us through the menu. Definitely worth a stop by, we need more Asian eateries around Scottsdale as there is nothing except in Chandler.

Food:

Corn cheese with Naan: Naan was surprisingly good, the cheese needs to be melted but we asked them to correct it and it was much better!!!

Korean Taco: Must get with Bulgogi!!! Super tasty

Mushroom Japchae: bold and tasty. Slightly high on sodium

Sotteok Kochi: rice cake is texturally appealing, crunchy outside and "gooey" inside and the sausage is a nice pairing, beware the sauce is spicy and sweet. Definitely a good pairing with some Soju!

Bibimbap roll with Shitake roll: the roll was good and the mushroom on top added some good contrast

Spam Musubi: my kid liked it so much - she inhaled it before I could get a bite. But she gave me two thumbs up. Kid approved.

Overall: 5 stars, come out and support this great establishment.
