A reliable Korean 🇰🇷BBQ in Chinatown, the service is very good, a bit crowded but acceptable. The quality of the meat is very good. Other side dishes are also pretty good.

Been here quite a few times and the food is always great! It’s a shame they’ve now introduced a time limit on the tables (1.5hrs). We weren’t notified untill 10 minutes before we had to leave, meaning we had to rush and then couldn’t finish our food and drinks.

Food is ok. Really terrible kpop playlist...very much tailored for westerners (Only 3 SM songs and one was even in English 🤡 The boys Eng ver. ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ) On a more serious note, it felt like we were rushed to cook fast and eat fast. The staff kept coming to try and cook our meat but there were still lots of food on our plates. So rather than helping it felt more like they were rushing us to finish asap.

Best korean food and restaurant I have ever been too! Well marinated meats and good selection of dishes, I will definitely be returning. Loved the cocktails too. Only issue is I feel like a more variety of meats would be top notch asw but still amazing. There is a long queue on weekends but it's so worth the wait

The restaurant’s design has an authentic Korean flair, perfectly recreating the atmosphere you’d experience when enjoying BBQ in Korea. The food was good, but the prices in London still manage to shock me—though at this point, it’s no surprise anymore given the city’s high costs. Despite that, the experience remains enjoyable, if you’re craving a genuine Korean BBQ.

Split bill came to 24.05. After showing us the card machine screen to confirm the amount, the server turned the machine away from us. They then must have changed the settings from what they showed us because once they showed me the card machine again for me to pay, it said the amount charged was 24.50. Not even mad haha I respect the hustle for an extra few pennies. Was still strange and interesting to witness, though I don't think the server knew I noticed they manually changed the amount to pay from what we had agreed on five seconds before. Thought it was worth mentioning for others to be aware of, just in case it becomes a hustle for more than just a few pennies. Three stars because: 1) they first seated people who started waiting after us on a table they had assured would be for us (there was a short wait in the evening), 2) it was busy and hard to catch a servers attention, and 3) the japchae was a little too bland.

Had a really nice meal here last night. It was a bit pricy, but the trip was worth it. The food tasted very authentic, and the staff were really friendly. We ordered Japchae, tteokbokki, beef combo, signature combo BBQ set, garlic chicken, sweet and spicy chicken, seafood ramyeon and jeon. One point to note is that we waited for 40 mins for a table of six at around 7pm. Unfortunately, our table was right underneath a loud speaker, making it very difficult for us to have a conversation throughout.

A Korean barbecue in London's Chinatown. A sign promising high quality - a queue to get in (we waited about 20min). Inside - tables with a grill, on which we grilled our own meat. We ordered 2 different versions of beef and chicken and side dishes. Ordering is done via tablet at the table. There is an Asian beer. The length of stay is limited to 1.5h, but it's enough.

Orders should be placed online using a tablet. However, this only worked to a limited extent. We had to speak to the waitress twice and point out that there was no food or water. Without asking, the lack of individual supplements would not have been noticed. You also only have 1½ hours to eat. In our case, however, the grill was switched off after just an hour, even though we were still preparing the food. The food itself was very tasty.

Well, if you have not been at some other Korean BBQ before you will enjoy here a lot but if you are Korean BBQ freak you will find little annoying things. But still it is a pleasant experience. Very nice staff and fun atmosphere. I would recommend mushroom platter and beef tongue. Normally beef tongue is served with a lemon based sauce but I didn’t like the source here. BBQ Beef Combo was ok. We also had Ribeye but I think such course is not ideal for BBQ. They were thick. It takes time to cook. One other issue I had was with size of lettuce served the portions. It is not enough which makes you order more extra lettuce. In my opinion either it should be served in bigger portion.

Would not recommend especially since there are so many great alternatives nearby such as Yori. Long wait, mediocre food, little to no service. KFC was not crispy, not juicy, and more breading than chicken. Pajeon was too thick, mostly flour, and not crispy. BBQ - they don’t help you grill it as is customary in Korean restaurants that look like this. Does not live up to the hype.

The food was pretty good but I was disappointed in the prices and the service charge which we were not told about. The portion of the corn cheese was so small and in my opinion it should be at least 2 times cheaper because it's literally just cheese and corn. But I know my friend really loved her more expensive choice (about 14£) so I'm giving 2 stars except of 1. Also the toilets are very weird there's no difference in male/female toilets and the middle cabin isn't even a cabin but a toilet with a transparent curtain in front of it. But on the other hand the pink/purple light in the toilet makes you look amazing. Overall it's alright except for the prices

Food was decent, but my experience with the server who was indian (there are no name badges so i couldn’t catch her name) was outrageously rude and it was unexpected because it was out of nowhere, the music was loud so me and my friend couldn’t hear what she was saying so she kept telling us to repeat it, of course we didn’t mind but it was just her tone and she wasn’t polite at all. Zero etiquette, no manners. It felt like she was getting tired and we did not feel welcomed at all, she kept rolling her eyes and glaring. It isn’t my first time here at Pochawa Grill, i have been served by the other staff and we had no problem with them at all! they’re quite trained and knowledgeable, hardworking staff. I was hoping to be served by a chinese girl who served us before and we had no problems with her before- she greeted us from the door but was taken over by the other girl. This experience really ruined it for me, won’t be going back again.

I've had the best Korean food ever here. Highly recommend the sweet and spicy boneless KFC chicken (my fav), bibimbap, kimchi seafood jigae (my fav) and the soybean jigae. All 10/10. They have the perfect spice level that gives enough kick for flavour but not too much to hurt you. The depths and balance of flavours are perfect too. You can keep your bags in the chairs that double as storage containers under the cushion and there is a small bathroom around the corner and down the stairs. A bit tight, but cool vibes. They have excellent kpop song taste too. You won't regret eating here.

Horrible restaurant!!! I couldn’t help but notice Chinese girls are being over worked doing everything! Whilst all the Indian staff would just gather and talk. I had talked with her asking if she was overworked she just smiled and said it’s her job to make sure everything is ok and to help other friends working on the same shift. Sweet girl deserves a pay rise. Unfair behaviour from a busy restaurant. The Indian women messed up on my order and proceeded to blame me for not hearing her repeat the order when the music are so LOUD! I proceeded to explain the music were just too loud and I could barely hear my friends and I she then explained it wasn’t her job to lower down the music as it’s a rule. Change your rule so customers can actually enjoy their time in YOUR restaurant. Food was horrible and not tasty at all. Our table decided to give the Chinese girl some tips for her hard working and great customer service but then saw all money taken by the Indian women. I’m in disbelief that this restaurant has overpriced bland disgusting food and cocktails that cost an arm and a leg yet waitresses can’t keep their own tips? Service charges were also hidden at the bottom of my bill which was super sneaky? I had asked to remove the service charge and the short Indian girl huffed and rolled her eyes at me? Then proceed to throw the bill onto the table and demanded I needed to pay the bill that moment because my time was up? I was not informed of any ‘time’ given. Disgusting customer service. TRAIN YOUR STAFF TO BE MORE NICER AND NOT PUT ALL BLAMES ON CUSTOMERS! OR HIRE NEE STAFF THEY DONT WORK EITHER WAY!! AVOID THIS RESTAURANT!!!! HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE FOOD AND THIEFS!

Always have a great time here but recently went with my friend who has several allergies and they gave us an allergy menu while we were in the line, then once in and ordering our waitress still made sure to tell us the allergens in everything she gave to us! She was very kind and attentive to our situation, always making sure to double and triple check. The only thing is, something was marked on the menu as having no nuts so my friend ordered it, the waitress was double checking and told us it does in fact have nuts, thank you to her but they should also correct the menu for other people with allergies. All around a great experience as always

The waiter who was supposedly new told us that we can get “unlimited refills BUT NOT THE kimchi” for the sides that we get for the set. We hope kimchi on the sides. I asked if we would be charged for it, and she said no. When we got our bill, we were shocked we got charged 3 pounds for EACH of the “refill” we got. I asked about this and said we were informed otherwise. I heard they whispered “she (one of the girls who served us) was not supposed to take orders”. I’m sorry but why was someone not supposed to take orders ADVISING US HOW TO ORDER??? We all know what “refills” mean. I also SPECIFICALLY asked if we would be charged for it. They removed the service fee, but we shouldn’t had paid 8 pounds for the extra we WERE advised as free refills.

Paid £27 for 10 pieces of small meat priced at £13.50 each (with a mandatory order of two), what a disappointing experience. The pricing seemed disproportionate for the portions offered. For that price not even kimchi was offered as a side. You only got a small amount of sauce and oil, making the overall value feel unjustified. Service was another letdown. From the moment we entered, there was a palpable sense of being rushed, upon entering without any greeting the waitress told us we only have an hour and half to stay?which was very rude! Throughout the meal, it seemed as though the waitress was eager for us to leave, watching us constantly, always hovering around our table to clear plates immediately after we finished them. Also the highly anticipated Yakult cocktail, priced at £20, arrived watered down without a hint of Soju. We decided against ordering anything else, as it would be a waste of money. 10 pieces of meat, 2 rice, seafood pancake and yakult drink = £72. We had to go somewhere else for dinner afterwards. I think this was one of the most unsatisfying Korean dining experiences we have encountered

I recently dined here, hoping for an authentic Korean experience, but unfortunately, it fell short in many aspects. The restaurant is not run by Koreans, and this was evident in the flavors, which were lackluster and far from genuine Korean cuisine. Additionally, the prices were exorbitant for what was offered. To add to the disappointment, my partner brought a teabag from a work meeting and wanted to use it with some hot water not pre planned because who does that!! Shockingly, the restaurant wanted to charge us £2 just for the hot water after she put it in (so I took it back out), even though we provided the teabag ourselves. This felt like an unnecessary and greedy surcharge. Considering the inflated prices, I would recommend skipping the service charge, as it seems to be reflected in the cost of the dishes already. For example, a single bottle of soju was a staggering £9.90, which is quite unreasonable. Overall, I would not recommend this place if you are looking for authentic and reasonably priced Korean food. Go to Arang which is within walking distance.

Generally in bbq restaurants when the grill gets sticky and burnt the waiter will change the grill for us without us calling them, in this case they did not change the grill… overall you’d actually be less ripped of buying a flight to korea to have a bbq than to come here lol at least the portions will fill you up!

I've dined at Pochawa Grill before and always enjoyed their delicious Korean BBQ. However, my recent visit was a shocking disappointment. The food was still fantastic, but it was completely overshadowed by a major issue: mouldy lettuce. Not just a few spots, but visibly moldy. I sent it back, only to receive a replacement bowl with even MORE mould! For a Korean BBQ restaurant where lettuce wraps are an essential part of the experience, this is utterly unacceptable. To make matters worse, the service was equally poor. The restaurant uses a button system to call staff, which is a great idea in theory, but mine didn't work. Despite trying to get attention, I was repeatedly ignored. When I finally addressed management about the moldy lettuce and faulty button, their only offer was to remove the service charge – a measly £6 on a £60 meal. This felt like a dismissive response to a serious health and service issue. I'm extremely disappointed and disgusted by this experience. Pochawa Grill, you've gone from a favorite to a place I can't recommend. Please, train your staff and management better. This kind of negligence is shameful, especially for a restaurant with your reputation.

This restaurant looks very welcoming from the outside and I've been meaning to try it for some time. Unfortunately we were very disappointed. It's more of a "tiktok" themed restaurant. Music was uncomfortably loud and in my opinion inappropriate for a restaurant. We had the beef platter, sweet and spicy chicken wings, veggie dumplings and a pitcher of mojito. Amounted to about 100 pounds for 2 people including a cheeky service charge!! Expensive, tacky and disappointing korean bbq experience.

Visited twice already. Both times provided excellent food and easy going atmosphere. Come prepared to queue, but once seated, great food and fairly fast service. It is walk in only, so expect queues to start just before peak dinner period. On a weekend day, I planned an early dinner with my partner and started queuing at roughly 4:30 to get in for a table for 2 at roughly 5pm. The menu is straight forward but extensive. Offering something to suit everyone from KFC to kbbq. My partner and I love the cocktail pitchers. I recommend the bulgogi and pork belly for kbbq. Though, their lettuce portions for wrapping is meagre for the price. Service is called by a button on the table, if you remember the old Yo! Sushi service call buttons, it is the same. It's convenient, I like it as the atmosphere can be loud.

A Korean BBQ in London’s China Town. I really liked the atmosphere as well as the food. We had an appetiser each (japchae/glass noodles and tteokbokki), bulgogi meat and a soju and we paid £35 each. The food was delicious and very filling.

We arrived on a Friday at 4pm and there was no queue. We loved the atmosphere and vibe! Modern style k-bbq with neon lights! Stools as seats, where you put your staff inside them. We had bulgogi bbq- you have to order two portions- and the meat was very tender. We tried the tteokbokki and japchae and were very tasty! Zero cal soju available in the restaurant. Mon-Wednesday all soju 9.90!friendly staff and filling food! Will definitely return!

Although there is always a queue here, I would wait in line! The food is amazing and the vibes inside is just cool. The meat is marinated very well and I would suggest a bowl of rice or soup to accompany it to help cut down the salt.

On the lunch menu it said the deonjang jigae contains tofu and mixed mushrooms, mine didn't so I asked the manager. Manager then went through my soup with a spoon, took it to the kitchen and brought it back out and said it's a misprint of the menu. Nothing has been offered, paid full price and service charge on top. Horrendous customer service

My family had lunch there for the third time as we always like this place. After yesterday experience we all had diarrhoea and my daughter is worst. I loved bbq grill but I think its the soy chicken possibly contaminated or the side of the grill is not heating properly. Its so sad and waiters keep turning down our grill temperature which we find it rude. From Marsha

There was a queue outside which shows it’s very popular. The atmosphere was great and the staff were lovely and attentive. The food was yummy and came out at a good time. It was a bit loud but that is a given as it’s got the bar type of vibe with a lot of young people.

We randomly came across this place, not expecting much. However, this restaurant exceeded my expectations. The staff were very friendly and the food was very authentic and the vibe made me feel like I was in a Korean sitcom. Would recommend!

Had the 양념게장, spicy raw crab as an appetizer and was expecting a tiny dish, but it was a full blue crab, and it was reallllllly good. Not a dish you see often! For my main I got 갈비탕, galbitang soup, which was good, but I wish it came with kimchi instead of salad or the fishcakes.

The atmosphere at this authentic Korean BBQ restaurant is excellent, and the food is delicious. We opted for the beef combo, and the marination really enhanced the flavor of the meat. To avoid waiting, I suggest arriving early. On a Saturday evening, we arrived around 6pm without a reservation and were seated promptly. The dining slots are for 1 hr 30 min, which was sufficient for our meal. The service was efficient, with a button on each table to call the server. Overall, it was an excellent Korean BBQ experience.

I can understand why the people queue up for this restaurant after trying, the environment just makes you feel like flying back to Korea, and all the food is tasty, except if they can also provide free kimchi and more variety, that would be absolutely perfect

Food was fantastic. One of the waitresses almost spilt a very hot stew on a child and saw me try to save the stew from pouring on to her but did not apologise. She needs further training.

The quality of meat and food is not as good as in Korea, but foreigners who have not eaten in Korea will enjoy the service and atmosphere. The atmosphere has a good Korean Pocha feel.

When we first went a couple of weeks ago, we were seated near the entry at the front. It was so nice I was determined to bring my children back there as they love Korean BBQ. And it did feel like we were in Korea. The 2nd time we went back there, we were seated towards the back of the restaurant and regrettably, the experience was bad. The music in that part of the restaurant was so loud, we could hardly hear each other talk. The loud music spoil the meal experience for us. When we requested they turned the music down, they said they couldn’t, which we found really strange. One other thing, the music was so loud in the toilet, my Apple Watch alerted a loud environment with sound hitting 90 decibels. I hope they’ll fixed this loud music issue for a more pleasant dining experiences.

the food here was actually so good, we got the set for 3 and it came with both pork and beef cuts. one thing is you do cook your own bbq, the kbbq shops i’m used to in asia have servers that help with grilling, but it’s fine to do it ourselves just that you will have to be control of flipping the meats and making sure it’s a perfect cook. also, the kimchi wasn’t free which is so weird for a korean place!! also no banchan (side dishes) but at least there was complimentary green onion salad and salad. service was also great and we could request music! overall recommend highly, the food was flavourful and i enjoyed the experience

My wife and I were looking for some Thai food and saw this on Google and were a bit apprehensive seeing that it was also a pub. Walking in we were immediately greeted by the guys behind the bar, even when they had a number of customers they were serving, and asked what drinks they can get for us. We were clearly confused on where the Thai restaurant was and the guy was very friendly and showed us the way to the stairs and we took our drinks upstairs. The restaurant had just the chef to cook and wait tables and he was very friendly and the food tasted great. A bit weird when you're not expecting that setup with the pub but once we were there we loved it. Again, super friendly bar and chef upstairs and we felt very welcomed and comfortable the entire time.
