Hodori Restaurant: Your Go-To Destination for Authentic Korean Cuisine

I go here all the time honestly my favorite place to eat. I went here for my birthday and had a wonderful time! The foods delicious and you always will have leftovers. The service is great we get water refills often! Honestly i have a obsession with the food here. I try to come every weekend and the food is always great. The atmosphere is so friendly. You always see people and sometimes have to wait for a table. The foos is so good!!!! Honestly i eat usually then take pictures as i cant help myself!

We ordered the bossam, kimchi fried rice and kimchi chigae. The bossam was delicious, and the amount is huge! I would give the food 5/5. Service was mixed. One of the server is nice while the other basically just drop stuff off at the table. I asked him for some to go container, he didn't even bring a bag, but the other server offered it later 3/5. Would come back again, reminds me of some of the restaurants I visited in LA's korea town.

There is definitely a reason why this place got best Korean in Phoenix! Might not be much in terms of ambiance but the food is incredible. We got their tofu soups and wow they were delicious. This is a place I'll come back to anytime I am in AZ now

Ordered the ham tofu soup w/o green onions in spicy and it was great. Very comforting to eat and had a nice kick to it. Decently affordable too! Service did take slightly long but admittedly it was pretty busy today.

What a gem in Phoenix! One of the best Korean restaurants I've had, ever! (Not just in AZ!). We went on a Saturday afternoon and it was busy, so seems Hodori is quite popular. The service is really friendly and helpful, but they are stretched a little thin servicing all the tables. There is a great variety of food at very fair prices, and everything I had was great! Seafood pancake: one of the best I've had. Very crispy and light, great flavor Bosam: a simple dish by nature so the flavor comes down to the accompaniments, and they delivered! Bean paste was delicious. Seasoned Napa cabbage was also very good. Kalbi: REALLY good! Savory and a little sweet, perfect flavor. Bibim bap: I got the bibim bap with kalbi instead of bulgogi. Nothing to complain about, very good. All the banchan was great as well. Definitely check Hodori out!

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.

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.

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.
