Hodori

I went here specifically for Kong-guksu, or a cold soy milk/broth noodle soup. I like eating cold noodles when the season is warmer, and Kong-guksu is not offered at many Korean restaurants that I've come across, probably because it is more of an acquired taste. After seasoning it with salt, it definitely hit the spot. All the banchan were tasty too and the pickled items definitely give some sharpness to the noodle broth. I also appreciate that there are ice cubes in the dish too, I've had others where the broth wasn't cold enough and wished I had some ice.

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!!!

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.

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.

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.

Very good food and authentic! We are hosting an exchange student from South Korea and she said that when she walked into the restaurant, it felt like she was back home in Korea. The chop sticks, water jug and even the stainless steel cups were just like home! The food was served fresh, hot and very fast. The staff is very friendly a.d overall a good experience.

The foods is good like most places . But, Just stop going there because there was a fly on top of my soup the last time but didn’t want to make big deal out of it so we just left. The Service was poor too always long wait for foods and is hard to get server attention to even ask for help or refills water. They never really look at you and server others before you. They make you feel like you don’t belong there with cold service.

Food is always great. Came with a group of 8 for lunch and everyone found something on the menu. Large selection of Korean dishes including seafood. Also a large range of spice options. The Army soup was a hit as a sharable with the table.
