   All in, everything we had was yummy but too spicy for my liking. We shared pork buns, fried chicken, all 3 wonton, and broccoli. The only item of these 6 that wasn't spicy was the crab wonton - literally everything else was covered in some form of chili oil. Don't get me wrong, the craftsmanship for each item was lovely, but I was disappointed that the flavor of each ingredient was overshadowed by heat. By the end of the meal, my mouth was on fire. Very glad we tried it and would recommend, but don't feel the need to go back

   Went to M Pocha for the 2nd time last night & it was just as amazing as the 1st time I was there. Great service and amazing food.... everything I've tried is fantastic but the cheeseburger is especially a must try!

   The food here never disappoints! Our server, Ben, was a great help and just so kind and considerate. The favorite dishes? The Chinese broccoli GainLan; Both Vegan and Meat Mandu; the rice dish Nasi Goreng.

   This was our first meal at M Pocha. Delicious food, great service. a bit over-priced, especially for the mocktails.

   Another fine addition to the M series. The food is very good, offering a range of Korean fusion dishes that is unique in the Triangle. The service is attentive and the delivery of dishes is well-paced. The small space imposes itself, creating a busy, buzzy and boisterous environment. One large group table surrounded by bar-like seating in the front windows. If you are ready for fun food in a frenetic environment, with downtown Durham passing by in front of you, get to M Pocha.

   The bartender/waitress and the chef (a gentleman from Mexico City) were amazing—attentive, friendly, knowledgeable. I always enjoy this restaurant but those two really stood out as additional reasons to want to come back.

    Julio is always amazing - Bridgette behind the bar is attentive and gives great suggestions. The drunken noodle is one of my favorite dishes in Durham (although careful, it does have a kick!). I love all of the M restaurants, but the atmosphere of being able to watch the food being prepared, is such an inviting and immersive experience. Highly recommend!

    small, slightly crowded space, but loved the people watching while sitting facing out towards the street. The service and food were both top notch and the negroni was one of the best i've had. Can't wait to come back and try more shareables before our next show at Carolina Theater

    Fun date night. Small plates allow you to try lots of things. Food comes out as it’s ready, and it’s fun to watch it being made. A little expensive but very good.

    The food was amazing! And the service was great! We were seated quickly at the counter by the window so we could people watch! It felt like a place I could sit and enjoy the view all day! Our food came out quickly and it was all delicious! Since it was raining when we got there the tiny interior was a little packed so it was a bit noisy but that can’t really be controlled! I loved their set up though. The counter dividers were really nice to keep some of the noise down.

    Sat at the bar. Place is small, and therefore loud, but we enjoyed the energy. Not a great place for a quiet talk though. Dumplings were SUPERB! Then tried the pork buns, fried, and some fried rice with shrimp (can't recall name) All was so yummy! Wait staff was very helpful in ordering since it was our first time. Warned us on the really spicy ones! I can't wait to return!

    Sorry to say this was one of the worst meals I have ever had in a gourmet restaurant. I was disappointed with every course (I had 3)...The green mango papaya salad sounded interesting...it came with what I'd describe as 5 day old chibarrones...pork skins that were barely edible, tough, and without any taste at all...the salad itself was interesting, Thai spiced so I expected it to be spicy, but again it was less than satisfying; the second course was their "special" of the night...$20 for 2 sea scallops, well seasoned with a nice foam sauce, but then it was accompanied by two very small well seasoned pieces of corn cob...I don't know what the chef was thinking here... highly priced fancy dish that did not live up to its name...so, still hungry, I ordered what the waitress said was one of her favorites...Pocha Burger, 2 different patties smash style beef brisket and pork meatloaf patty all in one bacon sauce, toasted potato bun...and I waited 30 minutes, yes 30 minutes for a smash burger...after 25 minutes, my server did come by to say sorry, it is delayed...horrible service...and again, another disappointment...it was tasty, but I had pretty much lost my appetite after that long wait, a very small dish...the server who brought me my Pocha Burger did come back and agreed to take 50% off the cost ($5 off of $10...)...I had a $40 dinner and was very disappointed, especially after all the good ratings...it looked like other people had very substantial dishes,,,,guess I just picked all the wrong ones...

    Made a last minute decision to eat here on a Wednesday night. Reservations for 3 @6P. Credit card required to hold resv. Only counter seating available, but it was fine. Service was very good. Our food came quickly. Drinks were good. I had heard dessert was good (strawberry dumpling) but we were not offered a dessert menu, so perhaps they were out. Each food item came out piping hot and fresh. Overall we enjoyed it and will come back again to try new dishes.
