Chicago Pocha

Formerly Matsu Shita. Now a Korean informal restaurant and bar.

I'm going to quote from their menu...

"'Pocha' is an abbreviation of 'Pojangmacha' in Korean, meaning 'covered wagon.' 'Pojangmacha' refers to small tented restaurants on wheels, or street stalls, in the Republic of Korea that sell a variety of popular street food such as GimBap, DdukBokgi, Soondae, Odeng and Anju (dishes that go well with bouts of drinking).

'Pojangmacha' are popular places to have a snack or drink late into the night."

Overall, I was quite taken with this place. Fresh, flavorful rice served with each main course, excellent Banchan, chicken breast used in the Bul Dak (not that dark meat isn't flavorful as well; this was just tasty), tempting pork and beef selections and just the right spice. Reasonable pricing at visit, but of course, that may change with time.

The beer selection is wanting, but may improve with effort. They do have Hite... SoJu and Makgoeli prices aren't that bad, either. We look forward to returning. Open to 2 am most nights.
