But today, our first time meeting and being served by Daniel and he’s got to be one of the best servers we’ve been helped by. Always attentive and always checking in at the RIGHT TIME. We felt comfortable right away and he made it better with his presence. Ambiance and food is always great here but the service we have received was another cherry on top. Thank you Daniel. What a great dinner once again from Hanshin Pocha. Also wanted to add the tall lady who’s always wearing glasses and long skirt. She gives me wholesome manager vibes but very attentive and helpful as well. Wish we got her name! Kimchi Jeongol 10/10: spice level is at a medium and tolerable. Fried Gizzards with fries: 9/10 flavor is amazing and addicting. Perfect pair with your alcoholic drinks. Giving it a 9 cuz it could get quite greasy but the flavor was just too good to not eat it.

Might be my favorite Korean spot in the Bay Area. The kimchi fried rice was mixed with cheese and the flavor was not overpowering. The fried chicken was perfectly crispy. The real winners were the tteokbokki and kimchi jigae. I want to go back. Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

It only took 9 mins from restaurant to me. It is either they cooked wrong or already cooked. Food: 2 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 4

But the gimbap was not very well made (fell apart, not that tasty) and the poke salad was not good either. Also no banchan which for a Korean restaurant is kind of unacceptable. Paid over $20 perperson.

Padak Chicken was super moist and crispy. Def yummy.
