Hanshin Pocha Irvine

There were so many items on the menu I wanted to try, but I'd have to settle for coming back because my order of ComboB exceeded all expectations! DIY rice balls (warm rice) 5* perfectly refreshing flavors. Cheese buldak 5* cheese and chicken? Genius! Fried chicken + Fries 5* juicy boneless chicken w perfect seasoned batter. Fried just right! Clam soup 5* warning, can be spicy. Don't let th clear broth fool u! Service was 5* we chose to sit outdoors cuz we brought our dog, and they set up a table on their patio for us (w a fan, cuz hot outside! That's service!) Highly recommended. I didn't have any alcohol, but it would go great with food. They offer soju bombs w a beer tower.. how fun is that!!! Can't recommend enough. Will be back to try other dishes.

Spicy chicken feet is at the right level of spiciness. They don’t have boneless option, so you have to do your work. And if you decided to order spicy chicken feet, order with diy rice ball. Not because it’s fiery hot, but the portion of one order is def not enough for two people. So if you are hungry, combo menu will be the best. Me and my friend got combo A, and we got enough of various dishes ( chicken feet+diy rice ball+steamed egg+fried chicken). Also this place didn’t seemed to be overly busy even in the Friday night. No need for reservation.

A new hanshin pocha in Irvine that has just opened. The food here (pocha) is Korean snack and comfort food. Fried chicken is definitely a must try. It’s crispy outside and very tender inside. The uden tang is my favorite since it’s so comforting. Starters and sides are very nice! They only have one server when I went and the place was quite busy. The inside is quite dark for playing with phones but if you’re just here to eat, it should be fine.

I came here for late night dinner & had such a delicious meal. I got draft Sapporo beer which was cheaper during happy hr. I also ate so much : chapagetti, bulgogi fries , tongdak fried chicken, kimchi jeongol soup, and jumok seaweed rice tuna balls. I highly recommend their foods & drinks because it kinda feels like you’re in Korea!!

Came here with a group of friends as part of an Instagram collaboration. We ordered the squid & pork bulgogi (new menu item!), Hanshin Dakbal (spicy stir-fried chicken feet), cheese chicken BBQ, Yangnyeom chicken, corn cheese, and the Kakao Friends juice (mango) My fave was the cheese chicken BBQ! The chicken was tender and flavorful, and tasted so good with the melted cheese! I also enjoyed the Yangnyeom chicken - the sweet and spicy sauce was super tasty! The squid bulgogi was surprisingly tender, but I thought this dish was a little too saucy and salty. I couldn’t eat the Hanshin Dakbal because it was too spicy, but my friends seemed to enjoy that one! The corn cheese was solid, but it was a small dish. Overall a solid place for authentic Korean street food! The vibes are cute and are good for groups!
