Drinks are fun though! ### ontastyspots — 5.0/5 · Jun 24, 2024 Delicious pocha in Pasadena. Every dish was very delicious and great for sharing. Street parking like Old Pasadena style. ### skimcow — 4.3/5 · Oct 18, 2025 Went to a Korean pocha (bar) in old town Pasadena and had some army soup, pork with shiseito peppers and some nice cool beer. Watching the dodgers close out the brewers and hanging with the boys. Cool atmosphere and fun to watch a game with good food. Only negative was how they didn’t have the game sound on. It was kpop music playing through the game but after the dodgers won they provided a shot of soju for everyone. Dodgers!!!!!!
