Neon-lit KBBQ with LA galbi, banchan, and Cass beer
"At this tight-knit Korean BBQ spot on Wardour Street, Kaytranada pumps from the speakers and LA galbi sizzles from every chrome table’s grills. Pochawa Grill is inspired by pojangmachas in South Korea—stalls where you can eat, drink, and slur words with friends late into the night—and it’s a fun interpretation. The banchan and BBQ platters are prepared and presented to a high standard, and the only sound more constant than the bass is that of ice-cold bottles of Cass being cracked." - jake missing, heidi lauth beasley, rianne shlebak, sinead cranna
"A shrinking violet Pochawa Grill is not. The tight-knit KBBQ spot on Wardour Street is luminous pink from the outside and neon-lit once you step in. Kaytranada pumps from the speakers and LA galbi sizzles from every chrome table’s grills. It’s inspired by pojangmachas in South Korea—stalls where you can eat, drink, and slur words with friends until the early hours—and it’s a fun interpretation. The banchan and BBQ platters are prepared and presented to a high standard and the only sound more constant than the bass is ice-cold bottles of Cass being cracked." - rianne shlebak, sinead cranna, jake missing, daisy meager

"Everyone knows that a little bit (but not a lot) of interactive cooking equals fun at a restaurant. Pochawa Grill also knows that bright pink neons and pumping K-pop ramps that up to the next level. This tight-knit Korean BBQ spot in Chinatown isn’t built for wallflowers. It’s inspired by pojangmachas in South Korea—stalls where you can eat, drink, and slur words with friends until the early hours. Even though it closes at 11pm, good times are still had here by groups small and large. Meat sizzles on tabletop grills and everything, from rib-eye to the LA galbi, is well prepared and presented." - Jake Oliver, Daisy Meager, Sinead Cranna, Rianne Shlebak
