Seoul Sisters Pocha

Seoul Sisters Pocha is a Southeast Asian restaurant located at 3159 S Winton Rd in the Plaza at Win-Jeff in Henrietta, NY. The restaurant was originally opened by Chaewon Kim, who also owns Sodam Korean Restaurant, as a sister concept exploring different aspects of Korean cooking. After Kim found managing two locations unsustainable, Jay and Clarissa Chunwick — who previously operated Sweet Basil Cafe in Victor — took over the space. Under the Chunwicks' ownership, the menu shifted to reflect their background in Cambodian, Vietnamese, and Thai cooking, though the Seoul Sisters Pocha name was retained.

The current menu at Seoul Sisters Pocha draws primarily from Cambodian and Vietnamese traditions, with a selection of Thai-influenced dishes as well. Offerings include:

• Pho and Cambodian-style soups such as num banh chok (coconut curry soup) and samlor machu
• Lort cha, a Cambodian short rice noodle dish with savory sauce and fried egg
• Cha kreang, a lemongrass stir fry with garlic, basil, and ginger
• Pad thai, lo mein, and several fried rice variations including basil and lemongrass styles
• Fresh and fried spring rolls, papaya salad, and lok loc (saucy beef over greens with lime pepper sauce)
• Red and green curry options

The restaurant emphasizes accommodating dietary restrictions, with vegan and gluten-free options available across the menu. Protein choices range from shrimp and beef to tofu and vegetables. Seoul Sisters Pocha offers dine-in service, online ordering through Menufy, catering, and private party hosting.

Seoul Sisters Pocha has an unusual origin story — it began as a Korean concept connected to the long-running Sodam Korean Restaurant before transitioning to Cambodian and Vietnamese fare under new ownership. The restaurant is known for its Cambodian dishes like lort cha and num banh chok alongside Vietnamese pho, served in a casual, family-run setting. The kitchen accommodates a range of dietary needs, making it accessible for groups with mixed preferences.

Seoul Sisters Pocha sits in the Plaza at Win-Jeff on South Winton Road in Henrietta, a suburban commercial corridor south of Rochester. The plaza provides on-site parking. The restaurant is open Tuesday through Thursday from 11:00 AM to 8:30 PM and Friday through Saturday from 11:00 AM to 9:00 PM, with Sunday and Monday closures. The Henrietta stretch of South Winton Road includes a mix of retail plazas and dining options, and the restaurant is a short drive from the Rochester Institute of Technology campus and Marketplace Mall.
