Chi Chi Korean Restaurant & Pocha(Bar)

The food here is amazing! Everything was super flavorful — the tteokbokki was perfectly spicy and chewy, and the fried rice was packed with delicious toppings. The portion sizes are generous, and it all pairs perfectly with soju. On top of that, the vibe is so fun — they have games on the table tablet that make the whole experience even better while you wait or eat. Definitely a spot I’ll be coming back to again!

We came to Chichi Korean Restaurant with a group of friends to celebrate, and it ended up being one of the most fun and memorable nights we've had in a while. First off, the food was delicious. The vibe was lively but comfortable, perfect for a group night out. Great selection of soju! But what truly made the night was Garrett, our waiter. He was absolutely amazing! Funny, attentive, and just all-around awesome. He kept the energy high, cracked jokes with us, and made sure our table had everything we needed. Even when one of our friends had a little too much celebration, Garrett handled it with total class and care, never missing a beat. We felt genuinely taken care of, and it made the whole experience feel more personal and enjoyable. If you're going to Chichi, ask for Garrett!!!! you won't regret it! Will definitely be back!

Lively place to eat with your friends where you can have yummy Korean food and be loud with them. Tablet in table is where you put in your orders, and play games with other tables. There is even a random drink item that will pop up at a discounted price and people can bid on it. Lol! Food food, we ordered a few dishes that was most recommended in Yelp like the: Kimchi Fried Rice (beef) Spicy Creamy Seafood Pasta Korean fried chicken Those 3 are a must order. Brought 3 first time customers there. Service when we visited that night was very friendly and Garett was especially very hospitable. Will come back again with the ladies! *They have live DJ after 9pm on some weekends

The food was pretty mid, especially considering their prices for each dish was about 20$. We didn’t drink so that may have affected the taste, but the only good thing was the seafood cream pasta. We ordered the chicken with cheese expecting tons of chicken and cheese, but they added a bunch of fillers, resulting in very little chicken… and the chicken wasn’t even good. Kimchi fried rice had no cheese - very basic. Corn cheese was fine - no way you can mess that up.

Both times we dined here we were thoroughly impressed with the food and the atmosphere. The menu screens work very well and accommodate a menu with many choices. Particularly the chashu pork with soy yuzu noodles were great, as the cold noodles were very refreshing when paired with the pork.

We came here Tuesday evening wanting to do bunsik (분식) which is a term for referring inexpensive Korean dishes/snacking meals. And we wanted drink some beer as well. The staff was friendly and our dishes couldn’t be better. One of the dishes was army stew (부대찌개) and it was just as good as the ones we ate in Korea. Couldn’t be happier. The serving size for stew was on a big side too, perfect for sharing with 2-3 people. We ordered other dishes as well and all good pairing very well with cold beer. The atmosphere was trendy with “young” vibe, but could be more cozier though. Kpop was playing in the background and we had one big screen showing DJ playing in the video at that night. We ordered via ipad mounted on the table and dishes had pictures showing what you get and options to add (if preferred). Ordering was quick and easy and we knew what we were looking at, but some dishes may require descriptions if you are new to the menu offering. I am sure you could have the staff called and explain things, but we didn’t. In conclusion, it isn’t easy finding a decent bunsik place, but this place is done right and it starts with good tasting food. And most importantly, the price seems quite reasonable especially dishes are shareable.

Chichi is super fun! I enjoy the concept so much. However the two times I’ve come here to eat, I’ve ended up with diarrhea. Not sure if it’s cause of spice or food poisoning 🥲 idk if I wanna come again because of the upset stomach… Has anyone else experienced this? Oh also we were originally given a molded chopstick … so I’m kinda worried about what is happening in the back scenes of the kitchen? Can you guys please inspect the cleanliness of it? I love the concept of Chi chi just worried for my health.

We came here two weeks ago for takeout and were happy with our meal; the food was good, and the portions were large. Today we also got the same takeout order and are super disappointed with the portion size. We called and asked if this was normal, and they said they had recently increased their prices. So I guess they increased their prices and decreased the portion size at the same time. 😊 $18 before tax with this portion is unacceptable. Update: The manager called me and clarified that they decreased the price but also decreased the serving size from eight to six. However, the wings we got were still smaller than usual. The manager said he would try his best to improve this situation. I appreciate the good service and can feel they care about how their customers feel! I will still recommend this place.

Absolutely delicious food, great drinks and a super fun atmosphere. I loved the vibes here and got a chance to meet really cool people. Staff are cute too!

created a great atmosphere, and the overall vibe was fantastic. I had such a great time that I'll definitely be coming back again! Especially Maloy, who truly went above and beyond to make the experience memorable--such amazing energy and service.

My friends and I had such a great time here! The food was delicious and the vibes were also really nice for a random Tuesday night. We are defiantly going to visit again on a weekend. We ordered a couple of items and shared. My friends said the fried chicken (Chi Chi Original Crispy Wing) was okay, but they loved everything else. The cheddar fries were delicious and the rose ttoekbokki was so chewy and yummy. I would highly recommend adding cheese on top, but the soup itself is also very creamy. You could order a side of noodles to throw in there as well. They also shared the spicy porkbelly with cheese which they loved and would recommend. The yogurt soju is always my favorite, but I also tried the apple this time which was good as well. The beer cups come with lines along it so you can make your own soju/beer combinations which I really liked. My favorite part was the tablet on the table which has lots of fun drinking games. Our waitress was also very sweet and showed us a new game to play with the soju bottle cap. Overall, really enjoyed this experience and will be visiting again! Hopefully soon :)

I won't rate this place lower just because of the fact that it isn't my preferred type of restaurant/lounge or whatever it is that people call this place. If you are not in college, you will feel pretty old hanging out here on the weekends. I came here two different times- Saturday night and Thursday night. Quite different vibes and crowds although pretty much everyone here was getting drunk. Saturday crowd was very young. They looked like people that don't know their alcohol limits and they were getting very wasted intentionally. I saw some people throwing up in front of the restaurant. Def not my thing but I guess some could call this "fun". Fun fact - the bar that was here before chi chi called Sideline was full of people like this. I witnessed several fights outside the bar and bouncers kicking people out, etc. The Thursday crowd was pretty chill. There were a couple of families that were visiting for dinner over some light beer. Service here is excellent. Food is okay too! Not too expensive either. The games are fun but the chatting feature on the tablet is pretty stupid imo. People typing out of desperation. It's basically a Korean version of Earl's and Joey's. Food was pretty authentic as in authentic Korean fusion food. They sold yukhwe which is raw beef marinated in sesame oil with a raw egg yolk on top. My friends (regulars at this establishment) already knew and ordered this dish casually and I felt a bit worried and iffy about the food safety/handling but when I saw that it came out semi frozen, it made me a bit more at ease. I took a bite and it was pretty good and the best of all, I did not get sick from it. If you don't like seeing people that cannot handle alcohol, avoid Fridays and Saturdays.

Cute and vibey spot to hangout with your friends on a Friday or Saturday night. I love how interactive this place is where you can chat with other tables and play mini games together to win drinks. I think the food here is really good.great for pairing it with drinks or a chilled soda. I love the kimchi fried rice and the chicken. I do wish that they would turn off the lights a bit earlier in the evening and also turn on the fans as it gets pretty hot in there.

went here for dinner on a Wednesday at around 7 and there were two other groups there so wasn't too busy. The service was fast and friendly and the ordering tablet is super helpful to get more water or whatever etc instantly. We thought all of the food was mid at best. The corn cheese was a bit watery and oily and I didn't feel like the cheese was sticking to the corn. The udon was probs the best thing we ordered, and the chicken was pretty alright as well, the fries that came with it were pretty mid though, not very crispy or salty or tasty. The ttebokki was fine, the rice cakes were well cooked but the flavor wasn't there for us. Seems like a fun place to go on the weekend or at night so I'll def try and come back for that, just not a place to go just for some food is all.

Came here to meet my cousins for dinner. We all ordered a bunch of food to share. They weren't huge portions, so it made it easy to order a variety of food to try and share. We all enjoyed the food. We had the Cheesy Corn and Fried Corn, chicken wings, kimchi fried rice, Spicy Mussel Soup, and the Spicy Seafood Stir-Fried Udon. My least favorite was the Spicy Mussel Soup. I didn't taste any spice or flavor, the broth was pretty bland. And my cousin thought the Crispy Wing was underseasoned.

Another viral instagram food blogger recommendation fail. The food is just not great. We ordered 4 dishes and all 4 were mediocre at best. The corn cheese had a very wet consistency and the ddeolbokki lacked flavor, although the rice cakes were cooked well. The "dumplings" were soggy and filled with only japchae noodles. Chicken wings were ok but also very meh. Overall I can't recommend anyone go here for food. However, if you're still about that party life then I'm sure the food will hit after a few bottles of soju. Service was friendly and fast once you get the hang of iPad ordering.

What a fun experience!!! I went here with some friends and we had some delicious dishes before betting with other tables for drinks and a somak tower! There music and servers were such a vibe, will definitely be going back!!!

We came on a Tuesday and around 11pm it was still lively. The staff was friendly with serving our food and our favorite was the soup. They close at midnight on weekdays and last call for the kitchen is about half an hour before the store closes.

Great ambiance, amazing food, and the best service! Thank you so much Waiter 007, you've been AMAZING. We'll come back as long as you're here

Unique place which I haven't found many of. It is definitely like a clubbing type of vibe and aesthetic with the darkness and LED lights decor. The food is pretty good. A bit expensive in my opinion for Korean comfort food. This place is unique in the way that there are tablets at the table that you order from and you can chat with other tables through it as well as play games on it. There are pop up games that show on everyone's tablets every now and then and you have to compete to win the prize which is usually a free drink of some sort. You can also challenge other tables for drinks. Very little interaction needed with the servers.

What an absolute BLAST!!! Felt like I was in Koreatown LA. Vibin like we are in a club but without the DJ and dance floor. Just Soju nonstop and fried chicken! Couldn't eat cuz I was on strict liquid diet but it smelled damn good! The menu and the chat! Tables chatting to each other without the f2f! Playing video games against other tables for drinks?!? Bidding on drinks during live auction??? Whaaaa?!?!?! :) Highly recommend to drink eat and listen to loud music while watching big projector screen. Such a random spot in Factoria too. Love it.

Chi Chi Korean Pocha is the newest Korean bar in Bellevue. It took over the old Sideline Bar in Factoria Loehman's Plaza. My friends and I came here this past week to check it out. We arrived at 8:30pm and while they were busy, we were able to get a table for 10 people. Note that they do not take reservations for Fridays and Saturdays and so it is first come, first serve for those days. For our first round, we ordered the SOMAC (Soju/Beer) tower (+$62), the BONELESS CHICKEN (+$19), the PORK BELLY WITH CHEESE (+ approx $24), the TTEOKBOKKI WITH BEEF (+ approx $24), and the KIMCHI TOFU STEW ($?). The SOMAC was smooth and filled about 12-15 small cups. It's pricy considering it's just soju and beer, but it was refreshing. Other Korean bars I've been to charge about $50 for a Somac tower. The BONELESS CHICKEN was disappointing. It just tasted like chicken tenders and was served with fries and ketchup. The menu description said it was supposed to come with spicy and so we asked the waitress, and she took it back to the kitchen to ask the chef. The chef said it just comes with ketchup and so the waitress offered to bring a side of spicy sauce instead, which was quite good. Our companions at the next table got the SPICY WINGS and those looked much better than the boneless chicken. The PORK BELLY WITH CHEESE was well-flavored and spicy, but was mostly just onions and mushrooms. It barely had any pork belly- for the price, this was definitely not worth it. The TTEOKBOKKI with BEEF was the best of the three dishes, but was also expensive for the amount of food you get. The beef was tender and the gochujang sauce was less sweet than your typical tteokbokki at other Korean restaurants. The KIMCHI TOFU STEW was probably the second best dish as it had strong kimchi flavor and a good variety of ingredients in it. It came boiling hot in a stone pot. Each table has a numbered screen. This screen allows you to order from the menu but also play games, pay the bill, and chat with other tables. In reference to the games, you can play virtual games (skill or chance games) against other tables for a selected drink which ranges from $7.99 (Cass beer) -$16.99 (soju). If you win, the table you won against pays for the drink. However, if you lose, you pay for their drink. So you can definitely rack up quite a bill just playing games. These games are optional though and by no means required. They also have occasional virtual games where the bar offers a non-alcoholic drink for free and you compete against the other tables for it- this is a zero-risk game if you don't want to risk having to buy another table a drink. Here's another tip- CHECK YOUR BILL because they charged for a bottle of Cass beer that we didn't order, but the waiter had brought to our table and opened. When we said we didn't order it, he said he couldn't take it back because it was open (even though they opened it, not us). It is inexcusable to CHARGE US FOR THEIR MISTAKES. With all that said, the interior is pretty cool and the place is definitely vibing on a late weekend night. They have cool lights and are playing K-Pop YouTube videos in the background. The interior was clean, but the women's bathroom floor was strangely wet and needed to be serviced. They are open until 2am most days. Overall, 3/5 for food, 2/5 for service, 2.5/5 for atmosphere

Chi chi is a decent place to go for drinks and food in the bellevue area. The food is pretty good. Never had anything bad here and have tried the tteokbokki, stews and chicken. The alcohol can be pricey, but most places these days have similar pricing. If you come with a group it is worth it. The overall ambiance after 9pm is more dark with neon lights and loud music. I think it is interesting that they play youtube videos of dj's rather than play a playlist, but overall a good vibe. Have frequented this place a few times since it has open and would recommend to those who are looking for a pocha vibe in bellevue.

This place is a vibe for sure! First time walking in was like entering a club. Get carded at the front and then enjoy a unique experience of dining in a rave like setting and playing drinking games with your table or against another one! It's a social experience! Each table has a kiosk where you can order your food and also play drinking games. There's even a chat room that every table can join in on to interact with other customers and play drinking games against them. You don't have to be social if you're not in the mood. The restaurant has a section for those that want to socialize and a section that don't. Fried chicken is pretty good, but the service needs some work. I think this is better if you're here with friends to hang out and have a good time drinking. Eating is like a bonus here it feels like. Drink hard and play some games with strangers!

Went at 8:30pm on a Friday night. It was pretty chill until about 10pm when they turn the lights down and the disco on. The dj came in to set up and the beats were amazing. We got these melona drinks with some alcohol and they were a great way to start the night, especially the mango one. The seafood pasta was fishy as always. It's not the roe, it's the sauce. The tteokbokki with beef could've been spicier. We also got chicken wings and fries and corn cheese, but those were just standard, nothing super memorable. We got their new offering -- tuna mayo riceball. It's supposed to help cancel out the spiciness. It was really filling. However, the stars of the night were the sweet and spicy fried rice cake and sausage and fried corn. They were bomb especially the corn aka crack. It was like a combination of of chips and corn and something that could totally replace popcorn at the theaters. Such a good snack. We tried having a conversation and it was somewhat effective. But the loud music was banging so if you're here for a catch up sesh, probably come on the weekdays or earlier in the day. Also, whenever someone ordered a drink or it was someone's birthday (I think those were the occasions that trigger it), the servers would make their entrance with some loud whistling sound and these light banners.

This is a fun spot. Lots of energy and staff are friendly. The food gives me bar food vibes in a good way. The food is tasty and easy to order from the electronic menus at each table.

My friends and I finally checked out this popular Korean pocha after we've been hearing so much about, and it lived up to the hype. The atmosphere was vibrant and lively, which was perfect for hanging out with friends. Most of the crowd was guys and a mix of girls, and it made for a really social vibe where meeting new people felt easy and fun. One of the coolest parts was the touch screen system at each table, where you can bid drinks and play games with other tables. It added an interactive twist that really brought everyone together. The staff were very friendly, attentive, and helpful in explaining how everything worked since it was our first time there. They even helped us adjust the plushies in the claw machine game, which was a fun extra! We only ordered soju, so I can't speak to the food, but it looked good. It would be even better if they added a dance floor and a DJ! With the great drinks, social energy, and music, a dance floor would really take the experience to the next level. Overall, it was an awesome girls night out for us, and we're hoping they open a location in the Bay Area soon, maybe in San Francisco or San Jose!

Chichi is a fun restaurant to hang out and eat Korean pocha food. They have a tablet that you can order from but also play games and chat with other tables. Vibes were fun and the food is pretty good and they are open late too!

Wait Time Visited on a Saturday night and added our name to the Yelp waitlist 20 minutes before arriving. Despite this, we still had to wait another 30 minutes for a table. You can pass the time at the bar or outside the restaurant. Food/Beverages Chi Chi serves mostly Korean bar food, which tends to be smaller in portion and on the pricier side. A bottle of soju is $18. The unique feature here is a tablet on each table where you can play games against other tables, with the loser paying for drinks. Ambiance Targeting a younger crowd, Chi Chi offers a club-like vibe with EDM music and a fog machine. It's definitely a place that encourages drinking. However, the limited restroom facilities, with only two stalls in the women's bathroom, can cause long waits. The owner could have planned this better considering the venue's capacity. Customer service It was quite minimal as you order via the tablet. We asked for water a few times and never came to the table. But the moment we asked for the bill, the staff came within 2 minutes.

Pasta is yummy and good ambiance. I enjoyed the cheese corn aswell!! Our waiter was nice.

I have some mixed feelings about this place because it was really fun to go to with your friends, but for the price I'm not entirely sure about the value. I think the best thing here is the atmosphere! It's fun, very club-like and very LOUD when everyone gets there. The games are fun to play against each other and chatting with other tabs from the tablet feels funny but the whole experience is really fun. The service is okay. The servers we had were really nice, but all of the stuff was brought out really slowly and once it did come I would say the portion size did not meet the expectations of the price. It was a lot smaller than what we were expecting. The best thing we had was the rice cake dish in the picture below. I would get that again for sure! The other stuff we got was just okay. One of the dishes we got was the thinly sliced beef with veggies and there were no veggies just tofu which isn't what we were expecting so it was a little bit of a let down. I think the biggest factor for the rating was the value. This place is really expensive. A bottle of soju is $18. You can gamble against other tables to get one maybe, but I'm not sure how much value you get from paying so much for not a lot of drinks or food, especially because the food portion for the price was so expensive. Lastly, there was a time limit that we were not told about when we were sat down so just as an FYI the time limit was ~2.5 hours and they will come to your table to let you know you've met the limit and they will charge an extra $100 per hour you stay over. We were not told anything about a tumor or extra charge until we met that limit. I think that's a reasonable limit and total fine as a policy, just wish they told us when we sat down or maybe had it on their tablets. Overall, I would come back because it's a really fun place to go to, but i wouldn't go back more than once in a while because it's so expensive.

Great food, great vibe and a fun night at Chi Chi Korean Pocha! It's so nice and convenient to be able to order , pay and play games on the iPad at the tables. The full menu is on there, if you need a waiter or waitress, there is a call button on there. They come right away. The music was nice, the place was clean, if you want to try a new place in the area, check this place out. Great for groups or if you just want to go with the two of you! Yummy food, highly recommend!

We had a great time with friends hanging out. The food is pretty sub par and the portions are small for the price, however we mainly went there to play the interactive games with the ipad. The ambiance there was super lively and fun. A majority of the tables took part in the group games. There were times where the restaurant sent everyone the same game or bid for a menu item at the same time with only one winner, which was a lot of fun and brought out our competitive side. You order everything through the ipad. We arrived at 6pm and there were plenty of available tables, however it quickly filled up and by 7pm, the entire restaurant was packed and pretty loud. The service was slow during the rush and we had to ask for our forgotten menu item 4 times before they finally brought it out to us. The drinks were pretty fun as well! I would probably come back again for the drinks and fun games but would not come back for the food as the menu for food is pretty limited. Parking: free, bountiful

I came here for a night out to celebrate my sisters birthday. We got there around 8 and got a table right away. They were playing squid games which was really cool. They also had squid games themed games like the dalgona and ddachi. The concept was really cool and I had a fun time talking to the tables. We even played a game and won a bottle of soju! I would definitely come back for a night out!

Came here for a friend's birthday party on a Friday night. While there are some positive things there are also more than a few things that need work. First - I do appreciate their flexibility in accommodating not only a large group but a different time slot. My party of 20 (!!) moved our time slot up an hour and we were accommodated without issue. Their ability to to adapt and seat us was greatly appreciated. The ambiance here was also pretty nice but you should know it's definitely a club vibe. No windows and honestly I felt like this place was a cap hill establishment given how loud and vibrant it was. I enjoyed it but know that if loud spots aren't your thing you might not enjoy this place. Onto the negatives. The food left a lot to be desired. Not only was it overpriced (see picture descriptions for prices), the taste was mediocre (except for the wings which were very good). $8 for instant ramen, $24 for 8 wings?! For that they lose a star. Another star is lost for the poor/spotty service. The alcohol was certain flowing - when we ordered it, the drinks came out almost instantly. The food though took forever. We ordered food though their tablet system (which was convenient) but it took roughly 45-60 min to get served. That to me is inexcusable and loses another star. What's also weird is that I saw another Yelp review say they don't have table time limits? My party was basically forced out after 2 hours. Another positive is that the tablets can be used to challenge other tables to games. Loser pays for a prize - usually a bottle of soju - for the other table. This is a fun way to keep the experience exciting. All in all, if you want a typical club experience with a loud environment I'd go here. I'd skip all the food due to the middle-of-the-road quality and poor price-to-size ratio.

We came on the second day of soft opening (Saturday) so the menu was very limited. The food that we did try was not bad though. This place is definitely more for the fun vibes and drinks. No matter what time it is, they will keep the energy up with the music and whistles. One thing that was a bit shocking was the price of the somaek tower. For $60, this was the most expensive one I've seen in the area. So you better hope your table wins in the games lol. It was around 7pm when we arrived and at that time we were able to get a table for 12 instantly. Plenty of parking in the shared plaza so that is also a plus. My fav part was the chat room that you can message all the other tables in. So fun and I haven't seen that in any other restaurant before. Overall, it's a great spot to have a good time although a bit pricey, but I hope to see more items on the menu and website launch soon!

VIBES!!! The ambiance is really nice and exciting. It's definitely fun and lively on Friday and Saturday nights. There are a lot of people, and seating can be limited. If you're looking for a fun and crowded night out, you should definitely go on a Friday or Saturday night. It's a lot more crowded, and there are plenty of people to chat with. But if you're looking for a chill, relaxing night out without too much excitement, then go on a Sunday night. It's much less crowded and not too loud or crazy. I really enjoy the excitement and smoke that fill the entire room, as well as the online DJ that plays music, hahaha. But one thing to consider is the price for food and drinks is a lot higher compared to other Korean bars, and there aren't a lot of food options. The portions are smaller and more expensive compared to other bars too. Overall, I would come again for the vibes and music since it's closer to home, hehehe. If you do get a drink, I recommend the FedEx shot, which is a "green tea shot." **Rating:** - **Beer tower** 3/5: I like it; there's more soju than beer, but it's pricey . They make it in front of you, which is very cool to watch! - **FedEx shot** 5/5: $11 isn't too bad for a shot. They give you a lot, and it's really yummy!

007 is the best server!! Service was great and food is too. Can't wait until next time :)

Visited chi chi for a friends birthday and was blown away by the fun atmosphere, amazing food and quick service from the staff. Highly recommend the creamy seafood pasta and chicken - order from the "best" menu as it highlights the most popular items. Would definitely come back again for the fun drinks and food!!!

I'm blown away by this place, we went on a Friday night and it was lit. The food, service and drinks were AMAZING. There was music that night too! Djs were killin it, believe their names were Phungtion and Breezy, great! Will go back, not even a question.

Authentic food, good music , good vibe! We've been looking for good Korean food in the area, and we're happy to have found it. Waitresses are super nice.

Last night I ordered the soupy tteokbokki to-go and it was very bad. I've been here once before and ordered different things and they were all good, so maybe it was because it was near closing time? But the food tasted old, oily, and sour and portion was so small!!!!!.... I've had bad stomachache all day. Totally different experiences dining in and taking out.

If you're looking for a fun night Chi Chi offers a unique Korean dining experience with food and drinks and you can challenge other tables to video games! Our group enjoyed the spicy pork belly & kimchi and sweet and spicy rice cakes, both of which were flavorful and satisfying. The food and drink quality made it a fun choice for a night out, although the soju bottles were surprisingly expensive. If you're looking for good food with a playful vibe, Chi Chi is worth a try, just be prepared for a higher price on the soju

A fun and lively Korean bar perfect for a birthday celebration or a night out with friends. The food is pretty tasty and is ordered through a tablet. I definitely recommend the seafood cream pasta and the corn cheese. You can play games on the tablet against your friends or with the other tables. Overall, a super fun spot for a late night hang and they have great K-pop music!

Bellevue doesn't have too many "fun" places to go and drink and have some fun with friends. Chi chi is a casual place with good vibes, good food, and good service. Super cute waitress Dva is a genuine, friendly, and fun server. Hard to find good servers that add to your experience but this girl has a natural talent. We came here for drinks before dinner and then came back after for drinks to continue the fun vibes.

Great place to hangout with friends. Good food too! DvA was amazing she was such a good hostess! We loved our time here! So much fun!!!!!

Fun restaurant concept! I stopped by here with a group of 4 for dinner on a Thursday night. Once you walk in, you definitely get pocha vibes. You do need to be 21+ to get in. As we came on a Thursday, there weren't too many people, so we were able to get seated immediately. The staff explained how the ordering tablet works, and how there's also a function to play games and challenge other tables to games where the loser has to buy drinks for the winning table. This was super fun and made for great random socialization with strangers as well. There's also a messaging function where you can chat among tables. As for food, we ordered a bit of everything - ramen, corn cheese, takoyaki, bossam, etc. Everything was pretty standard. Staff was quite friendly as well. I probably wouldn't come here solely for the food, but this is definitely a fun place to celebrate an occasion or have fun with your friends.

I don't think I've had an experience like the one I've had in this restaurant. It starts off with my group of three going here on a Friday weeknight around 6pm. The inside is dark but well-lit with lights that let you know this is a bar area. There's tons of seating, booth and bar ones included. There's loud music blasting, the bar has a lot of bottles on the shelves, and there's a fun mirror you can take selfies on and a stage that looks perfect for karaoke. Throughout my visit, it was empty at first but then every table filled and the place got gradually noisier as time went on. So... expect to yell to talk to your friends here and be overstimulated by music and everyone talking over each other. You order your food through a small tablet on your table. The servers are very kind and give you a quick introduction to the system if you haven't been there before. One of the fun things I saw is that the tablet has a chat where you can actually chat with other tables and even play games with them! I definitely was pretty shy when someone from another table said their name was also Vinh, but I love this concept of mingling with other tables, when most of us would rather keep to ourselves. Though I do hear the loser does pay for a drink or so for the winner and... that's not my thing. Food wise, we ordered a ton of stuff. For each one: - The sweet and spicy fried chicken came with tons of chicken wings and even more fries below them all. So much flavor on the wings, and they were piping hot and delicious! Favorite part of the meal for sure! Fries were just all right. - The kimchi fried rice was a bit heavy but I loved how there was a fried egg and some veggies inside for a balance on flavor profile that was more towards salty than savory. One order is enough for a table. - The seafood creamy udon was cheesy and hot; it was great! I wish there was more seafood though, the amount was pretty scarce and the clams hardly had any meat. -The pork was definitely better-tasting in the pork and spicy noodles dish than the noodles; the flavor profile wasn't something I expected in the dish and contributed to the overall saltiness of all the other dishes we had. - Portion sizes here don't look big but it can add up and, when you talk to your friends and other people, you might be eating a lot more than you think. Very unique experience here, and overall I loved the food a lot here despite the intense noise levels that are inevitable. Great place to hangout with friends and meet others who're dining in as well!

I was super excited to try Chi Chi after seeing many videos of it online. The idea of playing games against other tables to win bottles of soju seemed so fun and it seemed like a very cool atmosphere. However, I was a little disappointed when I did get to try it the other day. I went with a large group of about 15 people. They do not do reservations on Friday and Saturday and we were told to come early / join wait list early to get tables. Luckily last Friday was not super busy and our group was able to be accommodated at a reasonable time. First impression was that the lights and music were a little overstimulating? I had heard that they usually play good EDM or kpop mixes but the music was just not good until later in the night when they finally started playing those mixes. In my opinion, the food was not very good. We ordered the fried chicken, corn cheese, and seafood udon to share. The sauce on the fried chicken was good but the breading was super thick and not very crispy. The seafood udon tasted too fishy for all of our tastes. The corn cheese was literally just sweet corn and mozzarella cheese on top. It was missing the creaminess that other corn cheese typically has from the mayo. This place is also on the pricy side. It's $18 for a bottle of soju. The food items range from $20-25 and the portions felt small. Service was a bit of a miss for our table too. Out of all the tables in our group, we were the only ones without utensils. We had asked the staff for some a few times when they were bringing out the food but none came back. Eventually someone had chopsticks in their apron and just gave it to us. I think the atmosphere is pretty fun if you want to go somewhere to drink. I think the games are pretty fun to play. However, I think there are better places if you want to go for food and cheaper drinks.

Thank you ChiChi for hosting a great night for my friends and I. Food was great, plenty of drinks, and good vibes all around Shoutout to D' Va. girlll you were a whole vibe, my friends and I adored you!!! Thank you for playing our song requests xoxo

This is one of the newer pocha places where a lot of my friends have visited, and I went here with some friends on a Wednesday, which was still fairly busy. You order at the iPads/kiosks in each table and they will deliver the food to you. I personally tried their crispy fried chicken, sweet and spicy fried chicken, creamy seafood udon, tteokbokki with beef and cheese, and takoyaki. The prices are fairly high for the food you get and the quality. The crispy fried chicken had some flavor but not sufficient for it to be a standalone dish without any dipping sauces. However, the sweet and spicy sauce fried chicken is really good, just a little bit on the saltier side. The creamy seafood udon is creamy but then they also made it very soupy, which is a bit strange. The seafood within is fairly fresh, which was nice. The tteokbokki is also soupy, but this one tastes good overall. It'd be good to have more beef that comes with the tteokbokki, for the price. The takoyaki was just a snack we wanted to get, but skip this. It is flavorless and did not really have enough sauce to counteract the dryness. I guess this is a drinking place so food is not emphasized? But the alcohol selection is not that wide and is on par with a typical sit-down restaurant. Service is good as they serve the food fairly quickly and check up on you once in a while. However, we did need to self serve a few things like bowls, utensils, and water, which I didn't have issues with. Overall, this is a so-so place for pocha and I have had better elsewhere. It is just that this is more conveniently located for friends in Seattle and Bellevue, while other places up north with better pocha like those in Lynnwood and Edmonds will be out of the way for a lot of people.

This place has been making rounds online. My friends and I finally made a trip out to give it a try. Ambiance - This is the reason you come here. Dark room with every neon light you can think of. Music was on point, they played a lot of throwback r&b and hip hop while we were there. Felt like a club atmosphere. Each table has a tablet for ordering food/drinks but also for chatting and playing games with other tables. You heard that right. You can chat with tables, or play games against other tables and water bottles of soju! AND periodically the restaurant will sent out timely specials or even have you "bid" for bottles of soju, we won our bid and got a bottle for almost half off! This is the highlight of the restaurant and really makes it a high energy environment that encourages you to socialize with other tables. Make it a lot of fun. Service - since you order through the tablet not much interaction with staff, so no real comment. Food - With such a fun atmosphere I have to say the biggest problem is the food. It's ok at best. We ordered a handful of items and weren't impressed by any of it. It was either, watery, bland or just "basic." But it's a bar, so if you put it in that perspective you usually don't have high expectations for bar food. Overall, great place to come have some drinks and a good time with a group. Eat somewhere else lol.

Chichi - A K-Gem on the Eastside! If you're looking for the ultimate spot to eat, drink, and vibe on the Eastside, Chichi is it. Their food and drinks? Absolutely top-tier. Every dish is packed with flavor, and their cocktails are a perfect mix of creative and refreshing. You can tell they've put a lot of thought into everything on the menu. But Chichi is more than just amazing food and drinks--it's an experience. The atmosphere is lively, yet welcoming, making it the perfect place to meet up with friends or even strike up a conversation with some random (but always friendly) folks. Everyone here seems to be in a great mood, which makes sense because who wouldn't be with food and vibes like these? If you're on the Eastside and haven't been to Chichi yet, this is the place to be!

This is prob the one place I recommend going to when it's crowded. Each table has a tablet where you can challenge other tables to games for drinks. There is also a chat room on the tablet where you can talk with all of the other tables. The food is good but portions are pretty small for the prices.

Lovely place with a super nice and vibrant staff. Great fun late night for an outing with friends. Loved their pocha and drinks!

This was such a fun experience! The vibes were very fun and the drinks were good! The games can be played just among your table or with other tables which was super fun but be careful with how much you bet because you lose money quickly (or you can gain drinks too if you're lucky LOL) they also have a claw machine and I won this cute little pochacco! The service is a bit slow though I will have to say, it is because they are very busy but it took a while to try to flag people down. Also I didn't know this before coming but there's a 2.5 hr limit you can stay there from when you order your first food/drink!

Loved the TikTok's I've been seeing about this place so we decided to go check it out! It's new, so go early to get a spot. One thing to remember is that they don't seat you until your entire group is there. Once we sat down, looking around, you wouldn't know it's a club from the outside as there are definitely lights, smoke machines and music pumping. One thing to remember, here is that they will not see you unless you have a complete party, and rush-hour begins at 7 PM so I would get there early . We got there at seven and got a table for 10. It's really cool cause you can use the tablets to order food drinks, and play games either with yourself or at your table or against other tables for soju. We lost a couple times but we won four bottles. I will say this, eat dinner before you get there. The food is not that great and the service sucks even worse. They ran out of everything the night we were there, no bowls, no plates, no napkins. We had to bust our own tables or call the manager, who is walking around to get him to get some of the plates off. I feel like this is a bar that just happens to have food. By about 11 o'clock or 12 o'clock, there is a line out the door and people are on the waitlist for hours. The music, was a video of different DJs playing pretty much the exact same song for four hours. It was worth checking out once, but probably won't be back again. Age range wise, 21 to 30.
