“ This restaurant is open late! We came here friday night around 1AM and there was plenty of seating. The food came out quickly and the banchan was nice to snack on as we waited. There's also plenty of parking available outside. Everything was also reasonably priced and the portion sizes are generous. ”
“ I west for lunch to have Bibimbap today but,end-up tried lunch special Kimuchi Soup with side dish. It was so good and price included tax‼ I had complete lunch for $12. Thanks Hodori ”
“ Hodori, when you want to go out for delicious home style food or don't know how to cook Korean cuisine. Reliable, consistent food, reasonable prices and great, friendly service. Props to them for excellent kimchi! My friend who isn't a kimchi fan loved it. What to order can be tough. They have staples like bulgogi, kalbi, tteok bogi and fried dumplings. We got Rice Cake Dumpling soup and Yukaejang, spicy shredded beef soup. First off, both bowls were ginormous. Made Cheesecake Factory portions seem average. My soup amounted to 3 meals but the broth was not spicy. Tons of lean, shredded beef, glass noodles and scallions. Rice Cake Dumpling soup is the ultimate comfort in a bowl in my opinion. Hearty and soothing. Can't go wrong with strip mall parking at a restaurant that never closes! ”
“ If you are aching for Korean cuisine like Galvi, Bibinbap, and other authentic mouth-watering cuisine at any time, 24 hours a day, drop by Vermont and Olympic Boulevard and go to Hodori Restaurant. They offer a variety of authentic Korean BBQ dishes that are cooked to make you salivate at the drop of the table, whenever you're ready to dine, etc. We all know their Galbi but at Hodori, the meat is super soft and well marinated, so it not only melts in your mouth but activates all your taste sensors in your tongue that induces you to salivate, hahahaha. If you order their Tofu soup and combines with their Bibimbap, I'm sure you'll be done for the night or day. Hodori is open for 24 hours to accommodate students from nearby USC and UCLA so if you're one of them, enjoy the parade of culinary awesomeness. Of course, just like any other Korean restaurants, they offer Banchan or pickled fruits, vegetables and other sweet treats, to begin your dinner or lunch. The price is above average thou and a little more pricey than other Korean restaurants. One suggestion, I hope the ladies smile a little more than just act like robots, that's, often they only respond when spoken to? ”
“ Even with the change in ambiance and the prices have gone up...whenever I'm sloshed from a night out, I come here to refuel for the drive back. If you're looking for some late night comfort food and the experience that generally comes with it - this place always hits. Service was fast, and food came out good! ”
