Review by Junius Reichel

M Pocha is a hidden gem in Durham! 🌟 I visited recently and was blown away by their meat mandus - delicious dumplings that simply melted in my mouth. The Army Stew is a must-try; it’s hearty and packed with flavor.

The casual vibe and quick service made for a delightful meal, plus the cocktails were refreshing and strong! 🍹 I loved sitting by the window, people-watching while enjoying the trendy atmosphere.

I do hope they add more vegetarian options to the menu, but overall, I can’t wait to return! Highly recommend! 🍜✨
