Noori Chicken | Noori Pocha

Noori Chicken | Noori Pocha

If you like Korean food, head to Noori Chicken in Clawson, a takeout restaurant famous for its Korean fried chicken and authentic sauces. If you’re interested in a fun night out, check out the adjacent gastropub, Pocha, which serves the same dishes, along with Soju, a popular Korean alcoholic drink, and Korean beer. Owner Andy Kwon said the business has gone “viral” over the last year, and people enjoy the festive, fun environment of the gastropub. You might have to wait for a seat, though – there are only 11 seats available.
