POCHA! Korean Street Dining has always been a go-to spot for those seeking authentic and flavourful Korean street food. This time, they’ve taken it up a notch with the launch of their 1-Metre Korean Street Food Platter – a feast of eight different items, designed to transport you to the bustling street markets of Korea.
Seafood Pancake and Krispy Chunks 3.5/5
Sindang Tteokbokki 3/5, Eomuk 3/5 and Kimari 3.5/5
Kimchi Mandu, Corn Dog and Rice Balls 2.8/5
The 1-Metre Korean Street Food Platter ($34.90) presents a mix of hits and misses. While the Kimari, Seafood Pancake, and Krispy Chunks stood out with their rich flavours and delightful textures, some items could have been more enjoyable if served hotter. Despite this, the platter remains an excellent option for sharing between 2 to 3 people, offering a satisfying variety of street food favourites.
Fried Chicken Stir Fry Spicy Shin Ramyeon 3/5
Cheese & Bacon Stir Fry Spicy Shin Ramyeon 4/5
The Fried Chicken Stir Fry Spicy Shin Ramyeon ($13.90) pairs a crispy chicken cutlet with stir-fried Shin Ramyeon, delivering a satisfying kick of spice. While the heat is spot on, the dish falls short in creativity, tasting more ordinary than expected.
The Cheese & Bacon Stir Fry Spicy Shin Ramyeon ($13.90) stands out with its rich, creamy texture, thanks to the addition of bacon, mushrooms, and cheese. Though the spice level is mild, the flavour profile is incredibly satisfying, making it our favourite.
Sindang-Dong Tteokbokki 4/5
With the added cheese topping, their signature Sindang-Dong Tteokbokki ($11.90) comes highly recommended. The sauce is packed with flavour, and the tteokbokki has just the right amount of chewiness, making it a comforting dish for any Korean street food lover.
Ganjang-Gejang 3/5
We ventured to try the Ganjang-Gejang ($15.90 per piece, 2 for $26.90, 3 for $33.90), a raw marinated crab dish. The crabs are soaked in a homemade soy sauce, giving them a jelly-like, unique texture. While slightly salty, the dish offers an intriguing flavour experience.
The new dishes are available at all POCHA! outlets.
