Hanshin Pocha Austin

Leaving a 5 star review because I find it unfair that people are giving 1 star reviews on Google when they are in the soft opening phase and food is coming out slow. That’s normal. We walked in on Monday night and it wasn’t really busy at all. We ordered their chicken feet, whole chicken, rice balls and La Galbi soup. The food came out super fast, and the service was very attentive. I came with my baby and I’m not sure if they had high chairs but luckily I brought my own. The chicken feet were excellent. Nice and spicy, might not be great if you can’t handle spicy but it comes with a side of soybean sprout soup that you can add to the dish to tone it down. They were tender and packed a lot of flavor in each bite. The whole chicken was the star and they broke it down table side. Perfectly

Amazing food and such a cool atmosphere! Never been to something like this and glad they could bring it to Austin. Everything we had was 10 out of 10 even on a busy holiday.

My wife & I went here to try this place out for the first time. When we walked into the restaurant, we were not greeted at the door. We weren’t sure where to go to talk to a greeter to get a table. Eventually, we walked to the bar area & a girl greeted us warmly but she told us there going to be 1hr wait for a table. Luckily we were not in a rush so we put our name down anyways & went across the street to the Hmart to get some groceries. When we were finally seated, we were so hungry & were so ready to eat. Considering the wait time, I assumed the food was going to be amazing. Well, we ordered 4 item from the menu: stir-fried spicy squid, stir-fried spicy chicken w/ melted cheese, 5 soy garlic wings & 5 sweet/spicy wings. The only dish that stood out was the stir-fried squid. The wings see

Absolutely loved everything! Seating was quick, service was great and fast, food was delicious, our waiter was on point and friendly. The atmosphere was fun and festive, relaxed, people having a good time talking and there was music playing thatt matched the ambiance. We had the clam and mussel soup, yum yum chicken, DIY rice balls. We will be back!

My husband and I came here and ordered the chicken feet (served with fried rice cooked right in its cast-iron skillet at our table) and the fried whole squid. It was a generous amount of food, and everything was incredibly delicious. Our server, Bryce, was fantastic—friendly and attentive. We’ll definitely be back!
