This is my first time here. Got the kim Chee jjigae which was just aight. They put some weird herb in it that makes it taste like Chinese food. The chicken feet were good. But again this herb taste was weird.

What can I say about dream pocha? It reminds me of amazing home cooked meals by grandma. The food is legit, the service is amazing and the atmosphere is always popping. My all time favorite place to go just to have a great time.

This place is definitely not 5 stars. Whoever thinks so is probably biased. Ordered kimchi tofu pork belly, cheese buldak, sweet potato fries and rice. Kimchi tofu pork came out first and it was decent. The cheese buldak didn't come out until after we finished the kimchi tofu. Lol. Sweet potato fries and rice were really hard. I will say that I'll never go back to this place.

Wow. Just wow. Best late night spot ever. Music is a mix of korean and American hip hop. Food is an amazing fusion of Korean, Mexican and American classics. Would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a good time in queens. Grace is a hell of a waiter and she has great menu suggestions. Idk of any spots nearby that could compare.

WOW. I'm familiar with this place because i worked under the PREVIOUS business (GAG POCHA) I definitely think the food quality is a lot better than before. The bulgogi quesadilla, spicy pig feet & kimchi fried rice are to DIE FOR. And just when I thought I was impressed, I tried their TACOS. Probably the best fusion tacos I've ever had. They have really good variety of beers, tap and bottle and the workers are very good at recommending items that go well with whatever you order! Definitely my new after-work spot!

TL;DR: Food was good. They cut back on serving sizes though, not as worth as before. Service was awful. Food: I came here 3 times in total. Once with a friend when I first discovered it, once with my gf, and last Saturday after going out with friends. The food tasted pretty good every time I went, but the last time I went (which was not long after the second time I went) the serving size of the Chicken Gizzard and Bulgogi was less than half the size we got last time. The skillets were smaller and more than half of it was just vegetables. Service: I'm wondering if there were management changes since I last went a little over a month ago. In addition to the smaller portion sizes, the first two times I had gone they gave us chips and popcorn to eat while we waited for our food, but the most recent visit we did not get any. Snacks were hardly a concern, rather the following: - I love dogs and hardly have an issue with someones dog walking around inside despite the laws but *while holding our food* one of our waitresses bent down to pet the dog?? - Waitresses seemed preoccupied with drinking with other customers over attending to our table. - The restaurant was half empty but each time we rang the bell we would see the waiter fooling around and would have to click it up to 5 times for any sort of response. - When we asked for water refills they took away the bottle, got distracted, and never brought it back so we had to ask again. - We ordered two army base stews for the table but neither of them had ladles so we had to scoop it with our tiny spoons. (They gave the table outside ladles though.) - One of the army base stews began boiling over and there was a strong smell of burning. Waitresses didn't respond to the bell or look over so we ended up sitting through the burning smell til the fire just burned out. -After all this we decided that this kind of services was not worth any kind of large tip so we didn't tip a lot. One of the waitresses chased us out of the restaurant and asked us about the tip. We tried to explain our reasoning but she just glared at us, rolled her eyes, and stormed back in. The recent service experience was extremely unprofessional and very inattentive. I remember my first two experiences being very pleasant and a good time so I'm not sure what happened but I don't expect to come back here any time soon.

I love everything about Dream Pocha--the people who work there, the lowkey ambience, and of course the selection of alcohol!! First off, the employees give great service and are full of energy. If you come here more than once you'll get to know them by name. Service is very fast and attentive and you never have to wait more than a couple minutes for what you want. Shoutout to Jamie for particularly excellent service! She always has a smile and brightens up the atmosphere. The ambience feels very much like a real pocha in Korea. They are going for authenticity and that extends to the signage, the serving customs, and the general setup of the place. This is about as close you will get to an authentic pocha outside of Korea. The wait staff unsurprisingly speak both Korean and English, so you can order in whichever language you feel more comfortable with. They are very much welcoming to all (I'm white and have a great time there everytime). Finally, and crucially, their selection of alcohol really hits the spot. They have many different flavors and brands of soju, which is vital to any pocha. They also have quite a range of different beers. Not to mention the water served in authentic plastic jugs exactly the same as those in Korea. For those who may be unfamiliar with the pocha concept, it's basically a Korean-style bar with food options. The atmosphere is somewhat different from a typical American bar because food and drinks tend to be shared communally, and you tend to sit at a table with friends when you drink. It is a unique experience that you really just have to try. Dream is located on Northern Boulevard in Murray Hill, a hotspot for many different Korean businesses. You could very easily spend the whole day in the area, and end the night at Dream.

I love coming to this place on the weekends. The vibe is always so chill, workers are friendly, and the food is amazing. I always get chicken feet when I come here. I might be a bit spicy for some but it the perfect munchies with soju.

Dakbal without bones was not like i was expecting.... So much soop base with very whitish dakbal. Here's so loud and the cheapy atmosphere overall of course it's inspired by cheap Korean pocha. A lot of Very Korean disposition to the bone with just English speaking chicks and greens seem to use here like a hideout. Lol Anyway I had to wait almost an hour and half to get my order. Don't want to come again.....
Came on a really hot Friday night not expecting much and ended up having a great night here. Service was amazing and my friends and I even became friends with a couple of workers here. Manager and staff was very attentive, gave us service and made us feel like they were our friends! Recommend for all!!!!

I had very great service and an amazing experience here. My first time I was worried I might not know what the best or most popular to order of the proper way to eat things but this lovely waitress Jamie was very lovely. She was super kind and very cultured and taught us many drinking technique from korea. I just recently came from korea so i was so anxious to hear about her experience in korea and other drinking technique. Overall food was good and I had an amazing experience. Really love the environment.

I've been coming here for the past few years and when I'm in the area, this is my go to place to drink & eat. For a pocha the food is really good. There is a dish for everyone and if your are vegetarian, they can accommodate to that. If you love korean food (and soju) try Dream! I highly recommend this place as an after work spot.

Third time going here last night! Staff was always friendly and they have great prices Their naengchae pig feet is real great! It is served with this soy sauce pepper that blend well with the dish. I wasn't a fan of the chicken feet though. The ambience, prices, staff, service all five stars. Dish taste is 4/5. They only serve soft liquor
