Soju Pocha — Restaurant in Lisbon

The meal was a delightful journey through some classic Korean dishes, each with its own unique flair.

The sticky chicken was a definite highlight of the evening. The dish was generously coated in a sweet and spicy glaze that clung to each piece perfectly. The chicken itself was tender and juicy, with a satisfying crunch on the outside. The balance of flavors—the sweetness of the sauce with a hint of heat—was spot on, making this dish an instant favorite among our group.

Next up were the glass noodles, or Japchae, a quintessential Korean dish. The noodles were cooked to perfection, with just the right amount of chewiness. They were tossed in a savory sauce with a variety of vegetables, adding layers of texture and flavor. The dish was light yet satisfying, and it paired wonderfully with the other, more robust items we ordered.

The dumplings were a delightful surprise. Crisp on the outside and filled with a well-seasoned mixture of meat and vegetables, they were the perfect bite-sized treat. The dipping sauce provided a tangy contrast that complemented the dumplings beautifully, making them a must-try.

Finally, we tried the kimchi bake, a creative twist on traditional kimchi dishes. This was a hearty, comforting dish that combined the familiar tang of fermented kimchi with a rich, cheesy topping. The bake was warm and inviting, with the kimchi's bold flavors shining through, yet mellowed by the creamy texture of the cheese. It was a satisfying dish that rounded out our meal perfectly.

The atmosphere was warm and inviting, with attentive service that made us feel right at home.

The food was a delicious mix of traditional Korean flavors and inventive twists, all of which were executed with care. Whether you're a fan of Korean cuisine or trying it for the first...

Hands down one of the best Korean meals I’ve had — and to find it in Portugal made it all the more special. This restaurant is a total gem. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warm hospitality and an inviting atmosphere that immediately set the tone for a great experience.

We ordered the Soon Tofu Stew, Beef Ramen, Kimchi Fried Rice, and Fried Mandu, and every single dish was packed with flavor and cooked to perfection. The Soon Tofu Stew was rich, spicy, and comforting — just the right amount of heat with velvety soft tofu and a deep, savory broth. The Beef Ramen had a deliciously bold broth with tender beef slices and chewy noodles that hit all the right notes. The Kimchi Fried Rice was perfectly balanced — spicy, tangy, and incredibly satisfying. And the Fried Mandu? Crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside — absolutely addictive.

It’s clear that the chefs here care deeply about quality and authenticity. Every dish tasted like something you’d get in Seoul. Whether you’re a Korean food lover or trying it for the first time, this spot is a must-visit. We left full, happy, and already planning our next visit.

Five stars, easily....

The food is good but they have the worst service of any establishment in Lisbon. We ordered our food & drinks. 30 minutes later, the food arrives, don’t know why it took so long since we ordered raw meat & vegetables to cook ourselves on the table barbecue. Those things should be already prepared in the kitchen & ready to serve. People who arrived after us got served before us. 5 more minutes later we receive our drinks. It’s crazy to not serve the water & drinks we ordered before the food & have customers sitting at an empty table for so long. We had to repeatedly flag down waiters who pretended not to see us every time we wanted something. Came a second time & the service was even worse, they forgot to give us items we ordered & there was a table of just three people next to us being so loud, non-stop shouting but nobody said anything to them. It was impossible to get waiters attention, despite the place not being busy… when we left, we noticed a staff room in the back where 5 employees were sitting down watching tv. There are way better Korean barbecue spots in Lisbon. I don’t...
