" Mapo Pocha Soju Bar is an excellent spot for Korean snacks! The army stew is delicious, but I found the portion a bit smaller than expected for the price. However, the ambiance made up for it—great decor and a fun atmosphere. I enjoyed their lychee soju cocktail, which was refreshing! Staff was friendly and attentive. " (*Curated Review*)

Service staff were also a highlight—energetic and accommodating. I’ll definitely come back to try more of their menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" This place is vibrant and welcoming. I loved the decor and the overall feel of the bar. The food was okay—nothing groundbreaking, but enjoyable for a night out. The service was prompt, and the staff were genuinely friendly. The real highlight was the raspberry soju cocktail; it was fruity and fun! Would recommend it for a night out with friends. " (*Curated Review*)

" This place has a fantastic ambiance and a diverse drink menu. We enjoyed the sweet corn and kimchi pancakes, but they were quite oily. Service was excellent, and I appreciated the friendly attitude of the staff. Overall, a delightful experience, but I hope they can improve on the food's greasiness. " (*Curated Review*)
