Hodori

If you want authentic and traditional Korean cuisine, this is the place! The portions are generous, and the prices are reasonable. The food is the best Korean food I’ve had outside of Korea! (I lived in Korea for 7yrs) Don’t tell my Korean Mom, but this place makes daeji bulgogi (#23 on the menu) better than she does lol. And it is my favorite item on the menu. It has a nice smoky flavor that mingles well with the spiciness of the dish. The meat is also oh so tender. And it’s just a joy to eat along with their fabulous assortment of bonchon. Although I am half Korean, I’m not a fan of traditional cabbage kimchi…. except for the one here. The kimchi here has a nice crunchy texture and with a burst of flavor that is unmatched to most I’ve eaten. The kongnamul (bean sprouts) reminds me of my grandmother’s recipe. I devour every bit of it every time. If I lived in the Phoenix area, I would be at this restaurant at least once a week. Go give it a try!

The banchan are incredible. They didn't give us refills not sure if we had to ask.. ttobeoki was also very good and fresh! if going on a Friday or weekend night, come early and expect a little bit of a wait. it's worth it!

I’ve been going here since 2013 and I’ve brought a lot of friends and family that ended up regulars as well. The food is always delicious, the staff are always friendly, courteous and attentive to what you need. If I can give 10 stars I would! I absolutely love this restaurant and the amazing people that run it.

Delicious, authentic Korean food with tons of tofu hot stone pot options and unlimited banchan (side dishes). Rice is free too! Servers are very friendly.

Hodori Korean restaurant liked by many locals serving traditional Korean dishes and tasty complimentary sides aka "banchan" like kimchi, bean sprouts, fish cake, sweet potatoes, pickled cucumbers, etc. There’s a Lunch Special Menu available Monday - Friday, 11:00am - 2:00pm (excluding holidays). Dined in for lunch with a large group aside from being already busy they were able to accommodate us and reserved tables for us. Service was good and staff were working hard. Had to wave a couple of them down for refills at times, understandable it was a packed restaurant. On the menu: Jap Chae Haemul Pajun - Seafood Pancake with scallions Spicy Pork Bulgolgi Chok Kalbi - marinated Short Ribs Bibim Bap Kimchi Chigae - Kimchi Stew with Pork O Jing Uh Bokum - Squid sautéed in spicy sauce with vegetables All the complimentary Banchan Everything we ordered was pretty good! Food seasoned well and the spice levels were on point too. Everyone enjoyed dining here for lunch we were all happy and bellies were full.

Pure comfort food! Balanced taste that by far is the best soft tofu soup and sides we’ve had in Arizona. All good, plentiful, and flavorful. That said, they really need to fix their AC! A bit warm on a hot summer day. Otherwise, perfect!!!

First time visiting. Ordered Jokbal, Japchae, and Cheonggukjang. Japchae was overall good but sweet for me. Found some kind of string from Japchae but didn’t mind too much. And ordered Jokbal from menu but somehow I got Pyeonyuk instead. Disappointed but ok anyway. Cheonggukjang was just great for me.
