Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
M Pocha in Durham offers "super tasty food" with a diverse menu and "amazing" service. Enjoy a "fun, casual atmosphere" with standout dishes like wagyu bao buns and grilled octopus. While it can be lively, the "grazing" style dining and chef interaction make for an engaging experience. Highly recommended!

    The bartender was attentive but still made us feel like we could have our own conversation without feeling hovered over, she made FANTASTIC cocktails. The food was amazing and came out in a timely fashion. The music was great and we got seated right on time for our reservation. I’ve always loved the M restaurants but this one had been my favorite so far!!

    A fantastic meal and at a good price. Tori was my go to place in downtown Durham for a nice place, but I think M Pocha has overtaken it for where I bring visiting family and friends.
