Hongdae Pocha — Restaurant in Palisades Park

My friend and I randomly came to this bar after doing a quick Google search on a weekday. From the bartender’s recommendation, we ordered a beer and three dishes - one of them being pork belly and cold noodles. The dish she recommended came with a lot of vegetables, which I didn’t mind personally, but I think other customers might want more noodles than vegetables. She seemed a little busy, but she was still able to accommodate us with little things like changing the TV channel, refilling our waters without asking and replacing our dirty napkins. The atmosphere was pretty slow and chill which we really liked but that might have been the case because we went a little early. I recommend coming here early during the afternoon if you want to have a casual conversation with a friend or two without the...

We made a reservation here on Sunday. The waitress was not very polite from the beginning to the very end. If the place was crowded that would be more understandable but it wasn't.

She made my drink 1 parts LQ, lemon, and water then made a virgin drink for my date and when I asked she said it wasn’t. Then I had to ask her to make a drink with instructions while she happily tended to everyone else at the bar. Even laughing and smiling with some but my date and myself were made to feel like we were not wanted nor seen at the bar. Completely unacceptable I don’t recommend unless you’re of Asian descent from...
