This place is not all it's cracked up to be. I used to get good service there but now that there's a new group of employees, I try not to come by until I watch Korean drama and in need of Kimchi Chigae and Bulgogi.
I have been coming to this place for years and found it by accident because my favorite Korean restaurant went out of business. For one of my group lunches, my friend suggest we go to Hodori. There were a group of us and I remember getting terrible service!!! We didn't leave a good tip as a result of that and the waitress actually chased us down. Aren't tips earned?
I went back to Hodori because my friend said they're under new management, so I thought ok I'll give it another shot. This time the service was wayyyyyyy better so I stay loyal to Hodori. I also discovered my love for Kimchi Chigae, which I thought is a simple dish of soup. I tried looking for the recipe and duplicate it but failed every time. So I guess I'm stuck with Kimchi Chigae. No other restaurants make it like Hodori does.
What I would order here:
Kimchi Chigae
Bulgogi
Kalbi
The lunch plates are quite good as well. Their side dishes used to be awesome. They used to have these anchovies that were delish- but now the side dishes are something I don't look forward to anymore at this place.
I would come back only for the Kimchi Chigae.
