Manhattan Korean Comfort Food and Stews on Tenth Avenue
Sip soju cocktails alongside Manhattan Korean comfort food inside a retro speakeasy space.
🍲 Seoul Olympic Flavors
Finding Manhattan Korean comfort food takes diners to 88 Pocha on Tenth Avenue. The mid-priced dining room draws inspiration from the nineteen eighty-eight Seoul Olympics, pairing a speakeasy atmosphere with soju cocktails and carafes of makgeolli. Guests gather around bubbling pots of army stew and classic Korean dishes.
The kitchen centers the meal on hearty stews and shareable appetizers. Diners regularly pair the crisp seafood pancake with dipping sauce alongside hot-pot bulgogi bibimbap tossed with house-made gochujang. Meatless bibimbap gives plant-focused diners an option, while tender fire-grilled beef comes with a garlicky spinach salad.
Guests can locate the storefront at 630 Tenth Avenue in the Storefront North space. Service runs Tuesday through Sunday starting at half past eleven AM until 11 PM, while the doors remain closed every Monday.
