   Was such a great dining experience. Waiter was excellent, very knowledgeable about food and beverage menu. We split 7 dishes between 4 people and loved all of them.

   From the vibes to the food and cocktails, everything was incredible. Great service. Can’t miss with the spicy pork buns.

   What a great little spot! We enjoyed sitting at the bar and taking our time selecting various dishes to try. The bartender and one of the cooks were wonderful informative and interactive. They made a very good meal be something special. We especially enjoyed the broccoli appetizer and the fiery noodle dishes. We passed on the cocktails as they are quite expensive and opted for beer instead. We will absolutely be back.

   first time at M Pocha. counter seating facing window and it was good - if conversation lapsed you had a whole new show on the sidewalk, plus the interaction with the passing pedestrians and drivers. Anyway, great food - meat mandu were the best we have ever had. the spicy fries were excellent. Pocha burger was great, and the DIY steamed buns were delicious. service was on point and the staff was friendly and very present. thanks for a great meal!

   We came here for our first date night since having a baby and it was an excellent choice. We were early so it was pretty quiet and the food came out super fast. We had the lobster “Mac” and cheese (the Mac was actually tteok a Korean rice cake), the pork buns, shrimp toast, pork belly chasu don and their dessert and it was all fantastic! Highly recommend

    The service was top-notch! Our waitress was attentive, and friendly. She also made some great suggestions. The food was well balanced, deliciously flavorful, and had just the right amount of heat to let you know you're still alive. My husband loved the House of the Rising Sun cocktail. A very unique whiskey concoction with Bek Se Ju, charred lemon, and miso caramel. My only complaint is that it's a bit tight when you're seated at the bar/counter near the windows. If you like to spread out definitely ask for the table. We will definitely be back, it's the perfect place to have a nice Friday night meal to reward yourself after a long week.

    Arriving at 6pm on a Saturday, this very small restaurant was packed - but we were seated at the window bar quickly by the attentive hostess. The bar space is very cramped with clear partitions separating every two diners. The server was generally attentive, providing water in a glass carafe when we were seated. Ordered DIY steamed pork buns, which were good, although the meat was a bit oily. Nasi Goreng was adequately spicy and flavorful. Kimchi stew was fine. Because of the cramped window bar space, there were an uncomfortable number of dishes and bowls served at the same time. It would be better for the kitchen/server to moderate the cadence of the service so that the meal didn’t feel so cramped. The restaurant was fairly loud when we were seated, but the first wave of diners were gone by 7 - and the ambiance became immediately more positive. Overall a good experience. When I return, we’ll look to reserve a table instead of a window bar space and dine a bit later in the evening.

    Delicious food, the chefs display exquisite attentiveness to the dishes they prepare, and we didn't get even close to making it through the sake list.

    M Pocha is our 2nd home now. My wife & I go every Friday for date night . The staff is incredible, they are always smiling, laughing and having a good time even though they have to hustle. The chefs are insane, the food is amazing. If you’re looking for a stellar vibe M Pocha is your place.

    I love everything about M Pocha! They have amazing vegetarian dishes! Very unpretentious and it’s all so delicious!! We had the broccoli, mango salad, veggie dumplings and jiang Jian noodles (mushroom and brown sauce)! Outstanding! I literally came two weeks in a row and ordered the same stuff! I couldn’t wait to get back!! I love sitting at the window and people watching! I only wish they had a bigger place so it was easier to get a table!!

    We tried five dishes: - Chicken karaage: dry, not recommended - Spicy pork buns: delicious, DIY, fun to assemble, best dish we tried - Chashu don: pork belly was incredible but otherwise the dish was underwhelming - Xiao mian: decent but a little too much like bolognese - Chili crisp garlic fries with w/ kimchi aioli: dry, not recommended, although the aioli is to die for The wok was down so a number of dishes weren't options. Overall, a disappointment given how wonderful M Sushi and M Kokko are.

    Table was ready when we arrived and staff is very attentive. I had pork and my wife had vegan stir fry. Both were great portions and very tasty. Our first time in Durham in quite a while. Short walk to DPAC for the Bonnie Raitt concert which was also awesome. Thanks!

    We had drinks from their wine and beer list then ordered four small plates to share. The food was excellent, freshly prepared. Our favorite was the shrimp toast. Seating is tight but the plexiglass dividers keep it intimate. Service was superb and we easily made it to our show at the Carolina Theater around the corner. We will definitely return to this place.

    Very small space putting out big flavors. This was our third M restaurant, and like M Shushi and M Koko, this did not disappoint. Shrimp toast and chicken karaage were great. Speaking as a meat eater, even the vegan dumplings were surprisingly yummy. Look forward to a return visit soon.

    M Pocha is a small, somewhat crowded restaurant. But the food and the service are excellent. Based on the server’s recommendation, we ordered six items for three people. Two were small plates and four were larger. We shared each course and enjoyed them all. Highly recommend.

    The music is a bit loud at this restaurant so this is not really a romantic spot but for a group or just a nice meal before a show at the Carolina Theater it is perfect. All the food is excellent. Some will fill you up more than others. For the best value go with a rice dish. One person can get just the rice dish and walk away satisfied.
