Love the iced water that isn’t chargeable. Had the army stew and it was noice. Kimchi pancake was okay! They put cheese on top which is always welcome. Ordered corn cheese too! Waiting for it to arrive 🥹

We came on a Saturday as a group of 6 on a Saturday night at around 6pm and the place was already packed and had a small queue. We waited a short while and they actually opened a table along the outside part of the shop, felt pretty cool as it was representative of the pocha concept which apparently is like street food in Korea. Food wise, it was definitely not a mind blowing cuisine. It’s literally Korean street food and some of it are items you probably can cook at home. But I guess it’s still fun to have it together with friends in such an environment. They have some set items where you select 3 items and it comes with beer and soju so you can make soju bomb. We had 3 of those sets, each was $88++. Altogether, I won’t say that the prices are rip off. It’s definitely not cheap and portions aren’t big (except for the fried chicken which is top tier) but they are reasonable for the location and comparable to other Korean restaurants. Taste wise everything was great, so no complains there. When we were having our meal, the queue continued to grow and didn’t get shorter. Definitely worth to check it out to see what the fuss is about.

Great food. Loved the jjajjang ramyeon. Difficult to talk with friends cos the music is pretty loud. Would avoid potato pancake however, was a little bland. Go a bit early before 7, it gets full fast even on weekday evenings. Service is polite and great.

food taste good! portion is abit small - for 2 pax. but if you’re coming with friends, order a few dishes to try! atmosphere is nice too

Glad to have a new Korean cafe in Holland Village! It’s a great spot to hang out over casual Korean street food and some drinks ☺️ The taste of the food is decent, with my personal favs being the fried chicken, LA Galbi and Kimchi Pancake!

F. Y.

Taken before we started eating these! Not only are the foods delectable, but the eatery also has a Korean street vendor vibe. Truly authentic. Highly recommended for anyone who wishes to experience the Korean hipster vibe & taste the yummy food.

atmosphere is good, q chill & the lighting makes the food look delicious but the food can be a lil salty, need get drink ah & is just like typical korean food 😅 honourable mention to the fried chicken because it is very hot & crispy! the staff is v friendly & helpful, came over to help us a few times!

Newly opened restaurant @88pochasg at Holland Village! The chef is South Korean and has stayed in Singapore for a while. He hopes to bring the Pojangmacha (covered wagon) culture into the local scene and recreate the taste of his favourite and popular Korean street food here. The menu is divided by price: A- $8.88 B-$11.88 C- $15.88 D- $18.88 E- $28.88 Here’s what we ordered: • A3- Vegetable tempura • B1- Tteokbokki • B6- Yubu oden udon soup • C10- Half fried chicken • C13- Grilled garlic butter shrimp • D1- La galbi (8pcs beef ribs) • Canned drinks- Sikhye ($3.88) and Haitaj pear juice ($3.88) • Red bean bingsu ($12.88) We all enjoyed the vegetable tempura and fried chicken which were crisp and not oily. The oden soup was so addictive. We felt the beef ribs was delicious but salty, and the garlic shrimp was a bit over cooked. The ice for the bingsu was quite coarse. Serving sizes generous and great for sharing!

L. S. P.

Food was amazing! Ambience is nice :) the waiter is also amazing, he was the only one serving at least 25 customers at once. Good job! Please give him a raise, he was very attentive, quick, and all while being polite. Got the garlic soy chicken, oden, mentaiko fries, and bo-ssam. Got citrus highball and terra beer too. The alcohol and good combo was ULTIMATE. Best dish was the bo-ssam.

T. G.

Nice Korean atmosphere. Food that we have ordered all taste great. The drinks are 👍

N. Y.

food was really good and seems authentic! though there are quite a few downsides…. food is on the pricier side, the place always has long queues and the service definitely needs improvement :/

This is probably the most authentic pojangmacha you’ll ever find in Singapore! Pojangmacha, which means "covered wagon" in Korean, has been a popular spot to grab a drink or a snack in South Korea since the 70s. Their menu is filled with all kinds of korean street food, from Tteokbokki to Army Stew, and a selection of alcohol. I enjoyed the vibes and concept here and highly recommend to try the oden soup and cheese omelette!

Had a lovely dinner with my girlfriend on a weekday evening. We decided to try a variety of dishes, including gimmari, fried chicken, and kimchi pancake. The fried chicken was impressively crispy and packed with flavor. The accompanying sauce complemented it perfectly, balancing out any greasiness. Both the gimmari and kimchi pancake were delightfully fragrant and had a satisfying crispiness. The restaurant's ambiance authentically captures the atmosphere of a Korean side street, making it feel like a brief visit to Korea. This makes it a great option, especially for larger gatherings.

Tteokbokki is a must order! The sauce is really tasty. Fried chicken portion is really big, very worth! Kimchi pancake came with melted cheese 😋😋

Awesome place to have great and nice Korean street food. I loved their gimbap. It gives a homemade taste and the army stew is rich and tasty. Definitely worth the time and have a nice meal here if you are craving for Korean street food.

The dining experience at 88Pocha was an absolute delight, offering an authentic taste of Korean cuisine. The vibrant atmosphere and friendly staff added to the overall enjoyment of the meal.

Food was decent but service was outstanding! Manager kindly advised us that we ordered too much and later offered to help us dabao the food. We requested to top up soup for oden and he brought a whole bowl to help topup. He even came to us later to ask if we wanted to take part in the lucky draw as we had met the min spend! Would come back just for the service alone!

T. T. (. J.

I had the oden soup and fried chicken which is really the best!

A. L.

An overrated place where the food is far from the usual Korean standard. Lee mart serves better gimbap. 88 Pocha gimbap is just rice and sausage would say worst than convenience store gimbap. Price is on the steep side and the drinks price is super expensive compared to other restaurants too. Food portion is small. The ordering platform is also not friendly and their staff don’t even want to go through with us the menu as it’s complicated with the different option available. When asked they just respond with oh today don’t have bundle set.

c. h. T.

Was lost for choice due to the large amount of dishes and the happy meal option is a great idea!

M. C.

Chill casual place for pocha style korean food!

C. A.

Try 1 time for the vibe can already. None of the food standout in particular and price wasn't super friendly. But staff were friendly and prompt 😁 An aircon malfunctioned halfway and aircon water pour down directly from the unit. I was seated next to it but someone else was not so lucky (Got wet cause she was seated below the unit).

J.

The lunch set was relatively good but not outstanding. Good portion. Can be more generous with side dishes.
