Hongdae Pocha

Hongdae Pocha is a Korean pocha in Soho, London, styled after the 1970s and 1980s in Korea. The menu covers authentic Korean snacks, small plates and main dishes, with signature items like tteokbokki (spicy rice cakes), crispy fried chicken and steaming hotpots.

Drink is as much a part of it as the food. There is soju, Korean beer and a few creative cocktails to pair with whatever you order, which makes it a good spot for a night out with friends. The warm, retro interior carries the theme through, so a visit feels like a step back to an earlier Korea as much as a meal.
