The service was great, even though the restaurant was packed, the waiter would come and checked on my table often. Usually with AYCE, I get Beef brisket, beef belly, spicy beef belly, and spicy bulgogi. All of these items were delicious! Also got some Pork ribs as well. There wasn't any dish that I didn't like. I also love the soondubu. Tip: ask for less tofu if you want more of the broth to go with the meat as you eat instead of being full from the tofu. They also have many sauces you can try to dip your meat in. I got the garlic sauce, spicy sauce, and bean paste. All were great! The menu is extensive, there were many items I would love to try but I was too full. I will be back to try more!

I've been here a few times before, but it's been years since my last visit. Unfortunately, I was…read morepretty disappointed with the experience this time around. I understand they may have been busy and understaffed, but it definitely impacted my overall impression of the place. Our waiter forgot multiple items, and the service felt slow throughout the meal. The food quality and portion sizes also didn't compare to another Korean BBQ spot I've been going to regularly. I wanted to give this place another chance since it had been so long, but honestly, I was underwhelmed. I've never really done this in a review before, but I feel the need to give Manna BBQ some extra love because, in my opinion, it's WAY better. The ambiance was probably the best part of the experience, but even my seat felt uncomfortable, almost as if I was leaning forward the entire time. Sadly, I don't see myself choosing this place again unless I'm going with a group that specifically wants to come here. I really wanted to enjoy it, but unfortunately, it just wasn't worth the experience for me.

Any waiter that hears the bell comes to your table to assist. The response never took longer than 20 seconds most of the time. To start the appetizer tray at the beginning is an awesome touch that I'm not used to in other places I have tried. It kind of took the guess work out of ordering in my opinion so I only had to focus on what meat or dish I wanted since my sides were already selected and refillable for free through the course of the meal. We ordered the seafood sundubu, beef bulgogi, and sweat and spicy korean fried chicken wings. The portion size was very generous on the wings and on the crispier side which my wife prefers. The seafood sundubu was delicious and was pleasantly surprised to see a decent amount of tofu and seafood types in the dish. The beef bulgogi was also tasty and as I said before just scratched that korean food craving that we had. This has been added to our rotation of date night locations for us! Oh also the bathrooms are very clean.

I came to Koreatown because I was craving kimchi stew for lunch…read more As soon as I sat down to order, the aroma of the kalbi caught my attention, and I decided to treat myself to a little cheat day. I ordered the kalbi and cold noodles for $26.00, and both were absolutely delicious. I had gone a few days without meat, so it was especially satisfying. I also enjoyed the banchan, and I finished everything except the fish cakes, which are just not my favorite. Overall, I really appreciated the meal and the experience. I'll definitely be back soon to try the kimchi stew.

I'm always up for trying a Korean restaurant I've never been to! Met here with my boba (and now…read morekimchi) sistah for lunch and had a delightful time. I really wanted something with their house made tofu in it, and the oyster soft tofu soup sounded just right for me. It was a bubbling hot concoction served with a bowl of mixed purple and white rice with bits of squash mixed in. The soup was so good! It had a good amount of oyster and the broth was spot on. The tofu was just the right consistency for the soup and tasted great. You can request your spice level and the medium was just right for me. The rice was also really good and well prepared. The banchan we had for lunch were kimchi, marinated cucumber, seaweed, fish cake, and pickled cabbage and beet. The restaurant itself is spacious and we had our pick of seats. The walls in between tables are high enough to allow for privacy. Service was good and we were checked on as needed. I couldn't finish the meal so I took the rest of the soup and rice to go. The kiddo tried the tofu and now also wants to go here which I will happily arrange for our next family outing!

Cook has no idea what he's cooking and the server has no idea what's on the menu. What's the difference between the Special Traditional Bulgogi for $27 and the Combo Bulgogi for $25? She just said the one that's cheaper comes with soup. Huh? Playing it safe, I went with the Bibimbap, because how can you screw up Bibimbap? Well, for starters it had literally 2 tablespoons of rice, which is strange for a rice based dish. And I'm not exaggerating when I say the namul had zero seasoning. Zero. Just plain, raw, vegetables with no sauce. This is what you eat when you're recovering from surgery and the doctor puts you on a bland diet. At least the scallion pancake was good! And the decor was pleasant. But yeah, no mystery why the place was completely empty.

I came in to dine shortly after they opened and was greeted and seated right away. I ordered the Beef Combo 1 and opted for the small portion. It comes with brisket, beef belly, marinated boneless short ribs, bulgogi, kimchi or soybean paste stew, and steamed egg. At first, I questioned the portion size and wondered if the small would be enough, but honestly, it ended up being the perfect amount for the price. Definitely a bang for your buck, especially since you also get unlimited rice and banchan! They say you eat with your eyes first, and the quality of the meat immediately made a great first impression. Everything looked so fresh and beautifully prepared. From the banchan and stew to the meat and steamed egg, everything was fresh, flavorful, and delicious. I was genuinely surprised..dare I say, blown away! The customer service was also top notch. I didn't feel rushed to eat and get out of there either. They let me take my time eat/grill at my own pace which I greatly appreciated. I definitely have to come back before I head out of town. Jin BBQ is a must try! :)

It was a little pricey, but I felt like it was worth it because the food, service, and overall experience were all great. We enjoyed it so much that we actually came back a second time before heading home. Definitely a place I would recommend!

Every roll was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. The quality of the fish really stood out, and everything tasted fantastic. A special shoutout to our server, Chloe, who did an amazing job! She was friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout our meal. Her recommendations and great service made an already wonderful dining experience even better. Between the fresh food, generous portions, excellent service, and reasonable prices, Zu Izakaya is an easy five stars. If you're near ASU and craving sushi or Japanese food, I highly recommend checking it out. We'll definitely be back!

This visit was Oct 7, 2026 and Hodori was exactly as I remembered which means terrific food, great service, and good atmosphere. You can tell a great Asian restaurant by the amount of Asians there -- Asians know good food! I was there for a weekday lunch at 11:30 and the place had about 40 diners, of which 37.5 were Asians. I'm half Asian, so there were two other non-Asians. The waitstaff were all Asians and they spoke a variety of Asian languages. One spoke Korean to a diner and another spoke Chinese. That is awesome even though I'm sure all the diners are able to speak English -- it adds to the Asian restaurant ambience. I had the pork bulgogi dinner, which honestly, is the only thing I have ever ordered since it is super yummy. Their cabbage kimchi is soooooo good. I used to buy a jar of it to take home, yet I don't know if they still do that. I ate almost everything, minus some small side dish that was some sort of fish tasting thing, probably tofu in fish sauce. I don't like fish. A lot of food and I enjoyed it! BTW a little tip. When you take a photo of your food, do not put your metal chopsticks on the sizzling hot metal plate, OUCH! You would think I would have known NOT to do that.

The items we thought we would like the most ended up being our least favorites, and the ones we were the most unsure about, we enjoyed the most. Our favorites included the spicy pork hot stone bibimbap, the spicy pork belly, and the cheese pork cutlet. All were cooked to perfection, respectively. Unfortunately, the kimchi pancake and the tofu stew were a bit too salty for us, and the galbi was overcooked. Overall, service was fast and friendly, and the portion sizes were worth the price. This place may look unassuming from the outside but it's quite spacious yet cozy on the inside with plenty of seating options.

We came on a weekday afternoon, so it wasn't busy when we arrived. We got seated within the 10 minutes since they were setting up the tables for us. Ordering is fairly easy since they offer combos depending which meats you like more. Everything we ordered was good quality. My favorite meat cuts were the beef tongue, brisket and the intestines. If you're not into eating inside parts of animals, I would recommend getting the brisket or kalbi cuts. The Banchan (sides) were good too. They had fish cake, kimchi, pickled radish and cucumbers available. We also tried the tofu soup, steamed egg and corn cheese which all came out hot and tasted flavorful. This spot is a-la-carte, so you order off the menu and pay by items. My only downside is that they didn't have rice paper here since I don't really eat the white rice since it fills me up too quickly. Other than that, I would come back here again next time I'm visiting family. Service here was awesome too! We were checked on throughout our whole meal and the servers were friendly.

We were a party of 12 visiting on vacation, and none of us are from the area. We ordered spam musubi and a chicken skewer as appetizers. Both appetizers arrived well after our entrees had already been served and we had essentially finished eating. Each time we asked about them, we were repeatedly told, "They're coming." Mind you, these are simple appetizers that should not take anywhere near that long to prepare. When we asked for the third time, we finally asked that the appetizers be cancelled since we had already finished our meal. At that point, the gentleman working the front area , tall, with red hair, loudly yelled from across the restaurant, in an extremely rude and confrontational tone, "It's already on the grill!" There was absolutely no reason to speak to paying customers that way. His response was unprofessional, unnecessary, and honestly created a very hostile and uncomfortable feeling during what should have been an enjoyable dinner, especially while our group was on vacation and simply trying to enjoy a meal together. When the appetizers eventually came out, we left them sitting there because we were already done eating and ended up taking them to go. He eventually told us they would be removed from the bill, which we appreciated, but that did not excuse the way the situation was handled. Again, the food was good, but good food does not make up for poor service and especially not for an employee speaking to customers in an aggressive and disrespectful manner. Management should seriously address how customers are treated, because the interaction with this particular employee overshadowed what could have otherwise been a good dining experience for our party of 12.
