My partner and I enjoyed this place a lot!! It’s a great Korean restaurant to enjoy without going to LA K-town. We were very much satisfied with all of our recent visits, with a kind service from the server named Billy. They were so friendly to us even during the rush hours. We sat on a seat nearby the door, it was very windy and cold due to the half-opened door, and they kept it closed every time people go in and out. Not only that, Billy checked regularly to make sure everything is good and asked if we needed anything else. We enjoyed the food, but it wouldn’t have been such satisfaction without their great service. Thank you.
Food is good, what you expect from a good bbq restaurant. The smoke control is awesome and we didn’t feel any discomfort. The service is barely on par: on social media they advertised they’d help us grill everything but we ended up having to grill and flip most if not all of our things while the server would just be around but not making eye contact for us to request their help.

Came here randomly for dinner agter walking around the mall and was met with great service. Our server Irene took our order and took great care of us. It was our first time here and she helped us cooked our meat perfectly.
We got a small beef combo and kimchi jiggae and it was very filling. We'll definitely be back. Thank you Irene and Billy for taking care of us and great service.

GIVE BILLY AN IMMEDIATE RAISE AND PROMOTION.
Two nights ago, I ordered around 145$ worth of take-out food for me and my family. My family and I work long hours, often skipping meals to examine patients and help with their miscellaneous needs. That day was no different as I only had a small yogurt for breakfast-no lunch. So by the time I had dinner, it was already past 8:30 PM and there were quite a lot to carry. As someone with a wrist injury and with the sheer amount of food that I had to carry in my hypoglycemic state, I dreaded the prospect of 1) exacerbating my wrist injury and 2) needing to make multiple trips to carry all the food.
That is where Billy came in to save the day.
Billy OFFERED to carry the food to my car. Him and his kind worker found a box to stack all the food and then Billy proceeded to lift the heavy Hodori BBQ order to my car.
But then, I messed up.
Due to my hypoglycemia, I was suffering from cognitive fatigue and brain fog. I accidentally made Billy go down the steps into the wrong parking section-wasting his time, effort, and energy lifting that heavy load of food.
I felt bad.
When I apologized, he had no malice in his voice and reassured me that I wasn’t of any trouble. “It’s all good” he reiterated. After the mishap, Billy’s demeanor was still as sweet and compassionate—expressing genuine empathy about the whole ordeal. He even shared his experiences of when he is hungry to build rapport with me and make me feel less embarrassed.
Firstly, Billy didn’t need to help me carry that heavy box of food, let alone OFFER TO HELP-but he did. Secondly, he didn’t need to be so kind and reassuring, making sure I didn’t feel embarrassed and bad, about my mistake. I was throughly impressed by how wonderful of a human being Billy is and truly believe that this man deserves a raise and promotion for his exceptional customer service and care. It is due to Billy that I know that I will be coming back to more often. However, I would like to know that this man received a raise or promotion; his kindness was a beacon of sunshine, the highlight, of my stressful and long day. I know that any other customers, when interfacing with Billy, would feel the same warm glow emanating from Billy and thus, be converted to a loyal customer of Hodori BBQ.

Institution run of the mill quality. Half empty on Saturday. Table grill was under power, steaming the meat instead of grilling. Ban chan was mass produced low quality. Mall / food court quality. I wouldn't bring Korean friends here.
Got the pork special large combo for a party of 4. It was the perfect amount of meat, almost a little too much, for us. The service was great, meat was good quality, & the banchan was refilled upon request. Surprisingly good for a Kbbq attached to a mall. Good way to fill up after shopping!

Food was decent with a wide variety of meat. However, there was an inadequate amount of staff and disappointing service.

The meats were very good quality! Servers are really helpful and nice! The beef platter we got was more than enough for our party of 4.
we got the large beef package for 3-4 people and it was just the right amount! plus we were given lots of sides. staff was cool and friendly!
