One Shot Pocha dishes up vibrant Korean bites and late-night soju in a neon-lit Spring Branch spot with lively karaoke vibes.
"Open Until: 2am Wed-Mon (closed Tuesday) Unlike other party-forward spots, the food at One Shot Pocha, a Spring Branch soju bar, is more than just a means to soak up alcohol. The menu is full of shareable dishes meant to support people partying until 2am. The sticky glazed, deep-fried chicken wings are worth pestering your server for more napkins, and the army stew will require reinforcements to be finished, especially if you add the soft chewy noodles to the party. Don’t let the thinly sliced bulgogi fool you—the sweet beef (and the banchan that comes with it) will fuel your fiercest power ballads for the rest of the night. Everything at One Shot Pocha is high energy, but we’d come for the food even if the backdrop were a library." - chelsea thomas, gianni greene
"We’re just as likely to head to One Shot Pocha in Spring Branch for a 10-piece of wings as we are for an opportunity to sing a power ballad in their karaoke rooms. Each order is glazed with garlic soy or sweet and spicy sauce, and comes with enough crispy skin to constitute its own meal. The flavors are delicious and worth the small mountain of napkins used while you finish the chicken. " - chelsea thomas, gianni greene
"If neon lights and K-Pop jams are your speed, then dinner at One Shot Pocha will hit all of the right marks. Everything at the Spring Branch soju bar feels lighthearted and fun. Chalkboard walls are filled with colorful notes from guests. Large orders of soju come served in a watermelon (which is now the only way we want to drink it). And reverb is just as likely to be heard from the crunch deep-fried chicken wings as it is from the speaker system. Come with your pals and hit the karaoke rooms after dinner to sing your heart out (and maybe even play a little tambourine, too). " - chelsea thomas, gianni greene
"Like soju and karaoke? This is the place. This restaurant and bar is open until 2 A.M. every night of the week except Tuesdays, and the food here matches the vibe: flagrant, flavorful, and lively. Find Korean bites including fried chicken, bossam, chicken wings, and the much-lauded army stew. The pineapple soju is a requisite order to go alongside entrees like its Korean sweet and spicy chicken and the pork belly." - Brittany Britto Garley, Sean Hekmat
"HOUSTON If neon lights and K-Pop jams are your speed, then dinner at One Shot Pocha will hit all of the right marks. You can doodle notes on the chalkboard walls, crunch deep-fried chicken wings that create reverb just as loud as the speaker system, and drink soju out of a watermelon (the proper way to consume the beverage). Hit the karaoke rooms after dinner to sing your heart out and play a little tambourine, too." - anne cruz
