  • Fantastic vibes and food. Best crispy fiery Korean wings I’ve ever had. Amazing O-Ssam also which is a Korean bar food staple. One of my favorite places in the city

  • Those are the crispiest and spiciest wings I have ever had. If there is such a thing as a wing that’s too hot, these are.

  • One of my favorites for dinner is Itaewon Pocha on the 2nd floor of the building next to Hmart on W 32nd. Great classic Korean bar food and fantastic crispy wings that they will make super hot if you ask them.

    The feel is straight out of Seoul and the food is very good, especially the wings that can be made as hot as you can stand.

  • Itaewon Pocha is awesome. Fantastic wings too and they will make them as hot as you want. I especially love their squid pork belly (ochinga ssamgyapsal)
