Located on the second floor of the trendy Millac the Market in Suyeong-gu, Pookie’s offers tasty Hong Kong BBQ dishes that won’t break the bank.

For those looking for a Chinese-style meal, Pookie’s offers a variety of options, including crispy duck, fried noodles, Hainan chicken, BBQ pork on rice, Cantonese honey chicken, and more.

With prices around 10,000 to 15,000 won for a meal, this fast-casual reinterprets the tastes of Hong Kong and brings a nice change of pace for people looking for something a little different to eat.

At a recent lunch with a friend, we went with the fried noodles with honey chicken and also the crispy duck dupbap.

Both were well cooked and we were given a warning about the spicy flakes for the noodles as they take the dish from regular to super-spiced with just a sprinkle.

The portions were maybe slightly smaller than normal, but we still felt full after our meals.

For seating, there is a small counter with chairs, or across from the restaurant, there is a larger dining space with tables.

If you’re looking to try something a little different than Korean fare and can’t travel outside the country this winter, Pookie’s is a great choice for your taste buds to take a culinary journey to Hong Kong without having to buy a plane ticket.
