“We are here from Massachusetts visiting our son who just had surgery. He wanted to take us for some amazing food and man he was spot on ! We have been here for five days and we eat out a lot. This Zu & Pocha Restaurant is by far top notch. It not only exceeded all of our expectations but surpassed a couple of crazy high-end joints that couldn't hold a candle to this place. I would be remissed if I didn't mention the amazing team effort from a top notch staff. Back home you would have a line out the door. My wife and I are stuffed with delicious food and drink. We will be back without question every time we visit our son or should I say we will visit our son when we come back to have a fantastic meal for a great value. Thanks again, Your newest biggest fans Bob & Paula“

“Awesome experience at Busan mart! Staff is very friendly and helpful. Location is clean with seating available inside if you choose to eat in-store. There is a great selection of Korean snacks, groceries and drinks! I highly recommend their house made Gimbap, Spam Musubi and their Taiyaki. Everything was very delicious!“

“Brave has the best prices and is really pretty good! Banchan was good and you can order other sides as well (all included). Service was good and overall I would recommend. I don’t believe you will find a better lunch deal.“

“Came in the other day for the first time. The staff explained everything to me. I got the seoul and mandoo . food is very good and fulfilling. Store has a chill vibe. They also play good music. This is my new favorite place to stop for lunch !“

“Really fantastic Korean spot here in Mesa. We enjoyed the spicy beef soup and spicy pork bulgogi tonight and they were both stellar. The homemade banchan is delicious too, with a standout being the excellent kimchi. I might go as far as to say that the spicy pork bulgogi was some of the best I've ever had. I very much enjoyed the unique smoky flavor. You can taste the freshness too.

Service was fast and friendly. Looking forward to coming back and trying some more dishes!“

“I visited a large Asian grocery store for the first time today. This area is known as the Asian district, where numerous Asian stores are situated in close proximity. I was already overwhelmed by the scale of the establishment. The store offers an extensive selection of merchandise, including Asian products, fresh vegetables, seafood, meat, and frozen foods. There is a significant variety of Korean, Japanese, and Chinese ingredients, which is truly remarkable. To the right of the checkout counters, there is a spacious food court, along with a Korean bakery.“

“The side dishes are extremely flavorful and fresh. Vegs are nice and crunchy. Pair it with rice and make a quick meal. I had the bean sprouts and fish cakes with rice for dinner. Under $20 for 3 servings of dinner. Packaged in tubs so it can go into fridge for later use.“

“Great food and large portions. We had the steamed egg soup, chicken feet and rice cakes with beef, all were yummy. Be prepared for spice 🥵. On a scale of one to purgatory the chicken feet were about an 8-9 and rice cakes around a 6-7. Still, highly recommended!“

“I loved the entire experience! The wait staff was incredibly helpful and patient with us on our first visit. The aesthetic was so nice and modern. The food was amazing! A little pricier than I thought, but it was worth it! I’d happily visit again next I’m in the area!“

“Nice place and clean also they have a lot of good food! Good service“

“I really liked my food. Although I did order the spicy fried chicken and it wasn't spicy at all but perfectly cooked. The fries could have used a little more salt, they're kinda bland but I loved the texture of them, crispy. Also got the gangnam style wings and those were really good. I ordered pick up so the texture wasnt very good by the time i got home but the flavor was great.“

“This place is great. We stop by whenever we are in town. The bulgogi cheesesteaks are the absolute best and are made on freshly baked milk bread. It's a huge portion so come hungry. They even sell loafs of their bread on the side which is great for making french toast, or egg salad sandwiches at home.“

“What a fun and unique dining experience! High quality ingredients and meats. Incredible value for the price. So much fun with friends around the grill, cooking food and trying new things. Delicious soju and beer. The staff were amazing, friendly, and so fun. Absolutely delicious food!“

“Best KBBQ and Hotpot in the valley!! Our server was Thompson and he was quick and helped us answer any questions we had!! 100/10 would definitely recommend and will definitely be back, prices are great also, it was only 70$ for 2 for unlimited hotpot, buffet, kbbq and appetizers, best deal in town!!“

“I say this place was absolutely the greatest sushi spot ever. Me and my wife tried so many places in Arizona and this one tops them all. Everything we had here was perfect. We will definitely be coming back here. The service was absolutely the best...“

“Went there for lunch, Food was delicious clean environment and the staff displayed excellent customer Service ! 🤙🏾“

“Wish I never moved out of Az there’s no SHABU like Jim Shabu!!! . The best. Planning a road trip just to visit!“

“The staff is very lovely and nice. The food is very tasty. It’s a nice place for a few friends or the whole gang. It’s has a nice pub atmosphere but I really wouldn’t call it a pub. To me it’s a nice place to “Hang Out” with good friends. They serve Korean pub style food and they play Korean Music! But don’t take my word for it go see them! If you go with friends share ya food that’s the proper thing to do… just saying. Love you guys!“

“My friend and I make regular visits to The Stone Korean Tofu House. The food, service and cleanliness is unequaled. Their kimchi is the best in the valley. Everything on their menu is prepared with authenticity catering to the wonderfully diverse and delicious Korean cuisine.“

“Chodang offers delicious food. The Dolsot bibimbop is delicious. Lots of flavors and many sides including potato and kimchi. The service is very attentive, taking our order quickly, getting our order out and cleaning the table quickly. A great option for lunch in Chandler.“

“We are no strangers to some of the best food there and have dined with a few James Beard winners. Some of the best yellowtail and salmon sashimi we have ever had. This place should have a line wrapped around the building. Very impressed!!“

“Very close to moms cooking and authentic bomb food!“

“Fresh food, nice presentation for bento boxes and Kimbap. Rice perfectly cooked, generous portions of chicken katsu which was excellent. Soft tofu was decent but wish it wasn’t served in a plastic bowl. Price is on the high side for foodcourt food, but quality and portions were good.“

“Such a great Korean restaurant! 👍😆 We tried a bunch of different dishes and everything was so good!! The galbi was super tender and flavorful, and the pork belly cabbage wrap was really good too. We also got the seafood pancake and spicy chewy noodles and loved both!

The portions were pretty generous and all the side dishes were good too. The staff was really nice and friendly, and we had a great time here.

Would definitely recommend this place if you’re craving Korean food. We’ll be back for sure!!😍“

“Such a great and unique food spot! Order a couple different dogs and a side. All were top notch and the staff was super friendly!“

“This place is great and can make many of their dishes vegan, if asked! They are very careful and have many vegetarian customers. Great tasting authentic Korean food! Sundubu-jjigae - (Soft tofu stew - water based instead of fish) Japchae - (sweet potato starch noodles mixed with vegetables) bibimbap - (hot rice topped with seasoned vegetables (namul) bibimbap dolsot - (sizzling hot rice in stone pot, topped with seasoned vegetables) Mul Naengmyeon - (Korean cold noodle soup - chewy buckwheat noodles) Great thing is that you can go to the Korean supermarket afterwards, because it is in the same complex, along with other restraunts and a bakery.“

“Best korean fried chicken - get it extra spicy

It is always consistently good any day any time.

My only complaint is that the fried chicken is so good that I now compare every fried chicken to this place and I am always disappointed that its not Gogi's.“

“It’s been a long time since I’ve found a restaurant I’d definitely come back to.

First, the portions are incredibly generous- you definitely get great value for your money.

But what impressed me even more was the flavor. Too many restaurants rely on overly salty or heavy seasoning, and that’s often what leaves me feeling tired after eating out. Here, the food is well-balanced and tastes like a genuine home-cooked asian meal. It’s comforting, satisfying, and never overwhelming.

A new location recently opened close to our home, which is fantastic. I sincerely hope they continue to maintain this quality and consistency because we’ll definitely be coming back often.

Highly recommended!“

“ate lunch today with my husband and it was amazing. love the tabletop grills and selection of food all very good and even got tips on cooking😁 we had a few different types of beef , pork belly, chicken, and shrimp. definitely do not walk away hungry!!!“

“Hands down one of the best Korean restaurants. It's been around for a LONG time and it's age shows but it's ALWAYS great food, and it's always busy. You won't regret choosing Hodori. If it's your 1st time trying korean food, try the Korean BBQ!“

“Restaurant was delicious! I ordered the Platter #1 and it was enough for 2 people at least!“

“Stopped in for lunch. Great staff, fast service. Loved the food and the soda selection.“

“Ordered a bowl of 꽃게 짬뽕(crab spicy seafood noodle soup). This was fire!! Broth was full of flavor, they didnt skimp on ingredients and price was reasonable. Too bad I dont live in Phoenix area. I would love to eat here more often. 5 stars is justified.“
