Loved everything about this visit! The service was good, atmosphere is casual, and food is 10/10! I loved all the food items and would get them again. There was a lot of flavor and authenticity to it all. I would highly recommend the boneless short rib and the kimchi pancake! You can't go wrong with any menu item here.

I don't go to Mesa very often but know it's meant to be a mecca for good Korean food. I reached out to a Korean friend to ask his opinion and he said, "hands down Hodori". I have to agree.It was a friday night and it was hopping. Despite the crowd, we were seated pretty promptly. Our server was friendly and helped me order. I put photos below but unfortunately cannot remember the names of the dishes. It was very good. We were served promptly and I will definitely go back. My husband ordered an eel dish which was not to my liking but that's about me and not about the restaurant.

I really enjoyed the service at this restaurant; the staff was very attentive. We ordered the seafood pancake, dumplings, and traditional Bulgogi. The place was packed, which was a good sign that we were in the right spot for some amazing Korean cuisine. Despite the crowd, there was plenty of seating, and it wasn't too loud.The food was delicious and bursting with flavor. The seafood pancake and dumplings were among my favorites, and all the side dishes, especially the kimchi, were top-notch. I even brought some leftovers home.However, my experience took a turn when I reheated the leftovers. To my shock, the food sparked in the microwave, and I discovered a metal piece, likely from a metal scrubber, in my food. This really turned me off, and I was upset because I had been looking forward to eating my leftovers.

Authentic Korean restaurant in Mesa. We had a variety of dishes and all of them were good - Bosam Appetizer (boiled Pork Belly with Napa Cabbage, spicy noodles, garlic slices, spicy pepper sauce), Seafood Pancake (a very crispy version perfect for dipping), Spicy Cold Noodles (large bowl), and a Combo of Spicy Pork with Mushroom Pork Tofu Soup (very good). Decent service with constant resupply of water and clearing of plates.

We were promptly greeted upon entering and shown to a table. The food came out quickly and everything was absolutely delicious! The Korean wine is a must try! The flavors were so unique unlike any kind of wine you'd try in the US or Europe. The atmosphere of the restaurant was what you would expect for a small, local, authentic restaurant. Prices were reasonable as well. Definitely recommend giving this place a try if you're hungry for some Korean food in a laid back place.

I haven't been here in nearly twenty years, but it's exactly the same as it was the last time I was here (which I count as a good thing).I had my old favorite, the bulgogi lunch special. Three perfectly cooked meats with the most amazing flavor and spices.Probably the most pleasant surprise was that I don't think the price had changed one cent in all that time.

I visited Hodori and was enjoying my meal until I noticed something fall from the ceiling. To my dismay, it was a roach. This really put a damper on my experience. The seafood pancake and pork belly appetizers were good, but seeing a roach fall from above was pretty gross. We finished our meal quietly and left. I wish I had mentioned it to the staff, but unfortunately I did not do so. Not sure if I'll be back.

We ate dinner around 6pm on a Tuesday and this place was busy. We were seated immediately and at the last table. The menu had a lot of choices and a lot sounded good. We ordered the Mushroom Soon Tofu with Beef ($13.95) (added ramen noodle for $1.50), the Sam Gyup Sal ($20.95), and the Chicken Bulgogi ($20.95). I don't see a lot of places that had Chicken Bulgogi so we ordered that. The staff were nice to us as well.The place was large and lighting was low. The food came out slowly. The Mushroom Soon Tofu with Beef was good and hot the spot on a chilly day. The Sam Gyup Sal (pork belly) was good and the Chicken Bulgogi was delicious with the char taste to it. I would recommend any of those if you can't decide on what to order.The food was good and we will be back in the future to try other food on the menu.

One of my favorite Korean restaurants in AZ. Most comparable I found to KTown in LA. The kimchi fried rice is always great. I also really enjoy the kalbi and chicken bulgolgi. Their japchae is the best I've ever had. Their beef bulgolgi is a bit hit or miss. I've had it be amazing and then last time it was dry and not flavored as well. Overall, definitely a place I end up coming back to often.

I first tasted kimchi jjigae in California and fell in love, so I've had been looking for a spot in AZ but they always fell short of my expectations until I found Hodori! It was incredibly tasty and just what I needed to fulfill my kimchi jjigae dreams :)My partner had the Bi bim bap and it was overall tasty but I wouldn't say it was the best I've had. Overall tho everything was well made.Service was good, very attentive with drinks but we were 1 of 2 tables occupied in the restaurant so not sure how it is when it's more busy. The cucumbers were delicious
