Hoki Korean BBQ & Japanese Cuisine

Had a great experience with the food and staff. They had tables that offered an open BBQ but we opted to just order off the menu and save that experience for next time. Food was delicious. Sushi made at the bar across from our table. My mom and husband really enjoyed them and promised to return to try more. I had chicken bulgogi. It was cooked perfectly and I loved the garlic added to the fresh veggies. Bottom line...if you're looking for something new, this place is worth your time. Can't wait to go back!

Came here with my buddy and was pleasantly surprised. Got the pork ramen and it was delicious. The waitress was so nice and the bill was a lot less than I expected. Will definitely come back with friends.

Lunch with 2 of my sisters. Finally, a Korean BBQ in Modesto. Ordered Gyoza and Egg rolls for the appetizer. Dinner B at $28 per person. Proteins were on point. Veggies fresh. Sauces paired well with everything. Our server was great.

I've been eating Korean barbecue my entire life and this is the first time that I've been somewhere like this so if you've never had Korean barbecue before I would not consider this place to be authentic. We got one sauce for the table I asked for another one and they tried to upcharge me for it and they explained I was supposed to slather on the sauce onto the meat and that it was one sauce per table. It was quite warm in here they had a swamp cooler I don't know if there was no air conditioning but I was sweating the entire time. The meat does not come marinated and maybe it's my own fault for having really high expectations for what this place could be but it definitely was not your normal Korean barbecue.

Today I was catching up with some old friends and was going to take them to the Twisted Pig but the parking was packed. We parked around the corner and saw Hoki, I told my friends I have been wanting to try Korean BBQ and was not disappointed! We wanted to watch the game so we sat at the tables near the bar. Our server was very attentive and made sure we had plenty of food and drinks the whole time we were there. Food was very flavorful and more than enough to share. The gyoza pan fried was perfectly cooked served with an oil sauce on the side. The spicy calamari was a big portion and paired nicely with the sweet sauce they served on the side. Spicy California roll was very fresh and we wanted to order more sushi after. The jalapeño poppers were huge and like none I had before. Made with tempura, cream cheese and tuna mix they were a highlight for me. Bacon wrapped shrimp on a stick were great but you only get two so expect to want a second helping. We ordered the Dinner A for three and chose kal bi ribs for our extra option. The meats were cooked perfectly, the rice was fluffy, and the vegetables were seasoned and marinated so well they were one of the most flavorful and surprising parts of the meal! I even saw a picture of one of my local Rockstar friends who frequents often lol. Will definitely be my go to Special Spot going foward. Next time I will have to try sitting on the side where you cook your own food the next time I visit.

My experience here was alright. I liked the sides I got with my food like the seaweed, marinated daikon radish and Kim chi I thought they were nice touches to my meal. I ordered the $25 meal A from their menu. The meat looked very different from traditional Korean bbq places I have been and were (in my opinion) very cheap replacements that weren't all that good. Like the thing sliced pork. Which was basically thick sliced bacon. Not very thing at all. The only thing I enjoyed a lot was the chicken. The beef was very hard to enjoy and it was very chewy. I liked the vegetables that the meal came with like Eggplant, zucchini and onions. Those are always very nice. But all in all, this is not very worth the money. I also enjoyed the sushi I got, I dont really remember the name unfortunately. But it was pretty good. I should clarify that I paid about 100 bucks for my meal. The $25 A meals are for one person each. So I ordered the sushi roll, shrimp tempura and the two $25 A meals. Kinda pricey for what I could have gotten more for. Not really worth in my honest opinion.

My wife and I decided to stop here after an appointment, the location was nearby, and the atmosphere was great. Staff was really friendly and always made sure the drinks were full and explained the menu very well. Attached pictures of menu and food. Also they have a little robot that follows the waiter around carrying food.
