    Pork bulgogi
    Crystal R.

    By far, Hodori is my favourite Korean restaurant in Berlin. Thanks for the recommendation by a Korean friend. Don't be put off by their exterior nor outdated interior, as the food they offer is authentic, generous portioned and inexpensive. Plus, we always see lots of Korean customers eating there too. That says a lot! Their Spicy Korean fried chicken(Yangnyeom chikin) is to die for! Coated with chilli sweet and sour sauce. If possible, I would eat them all the time. Pork bulgogi (sweet and spicy marinated pork) Perfect for a decent lunchtime meal.

    I haven't been to Hodori for a long while now, my partner wanted to pay a visit, so we decided to come here at the weekend. And I have to say, it was really disappointed. I couldn't believe this was the same place, I gave 4 stars before. So here is what happened. We did the reservation before and got to our table very fast, well, there wasn't many people there. and order food, thing was just find. The waitress came to us very fast, so we were just making order. I check the menu, if the food is spicy, it was writing out next to the dish's name. so after couple minutes later careful checking, we order something not spicy. About 5-10 minutes the food came. First of all, they just left the food like that on our table, at the same time, helping other to make them. My partner started to find it rude, I didn't mind to do it ourselves, so it was ok for me at first.. we ordered a Korean grilling style mix dish, which with beef, chicken and some squids. We were very excited about it, but we have to wait another 10 minutes till the food actually got cooked. We were so hungry and finally can tasted it, and turned out the food was spicy and it wasn't just a little spicy, it was a lot that we both stop right after 2 bites. so we called the waitress who served us, she just ignored us and we called the other staff, they basically did the same, until one other waiter got stop by us, we asked him why our food is spicy and the menu said not. And he told us to wait, he didn't make the ordered. He ran away and asked other colleague of him, so another 10 minutes was gone, and still not one give us an explanation or anything. So we just went o the cashier desk to ask the reason. The waitress finally took her time to give us answer. She said she can change it for us and asked if we want just beef or chicken. We didn't get it why we have to change our dish completely. And argue with her why is that spicy when the menu said it isn't. After like another 5 minutes discussion, she said the squid in their place is already spice sauce before it server, it meant to be this way. But the yet the chicken she didn't explain and yet when we did the order, she didn't tell us, since we told her that we can't have spicy food. So we wasted about an hour here didn't get any food and seem like the staff here they didn't even care. My partner lost his appétit for this but I was too hungry, so I asked them to change for us, this time just with beef, so another 15 minutes was gone. We could eat finally. The food was good, but it was probably because I was really hungry. At the end, when we want to pay, it took forever again, all the waitress saw us, but they just keep ignoring us. so I just went to the cashier desk to pay by myself. And I told them that we would like to take away the rest. After couple minutes later, another waiter come to us with the bag, just left it on our table. I asked him, "so we got to packed the food by ourselves?" he simply just said "yes" and walked away. So Where is the service of this place? I wonder!! Their food was just ok. It made us both so angry with this, about how the restaurant became, I just find this restaurant alright good at the beginning when I didn't know that many Korean restaurants around. but seriously, there are many other better services restaurant around and their food also tasted better. The point was the restaurant wasn't even full when we were here. I changed my previous review from 4 stars to 1, the 1 star was just because of the food. I don't think I will come back here again for a long while. This place I won't recommend.

    Coming from Southern California and growing up near Korea-town this is the closest you can get when it comes to authentic Korean food. Portions are large and the side dishes are fairly tasty. When we walked in for lunch there were plenty of Asians which to me is a good sign. The waitress spoke Korean, German and English. Highly recommend!

    not so clean restaurant. but food was good. do not order tee or coffee. it was terrible.

    Our very first experience at a Korean restaurant -- and what a memorable one! Big thanks to our…read moreadventurous son and daughter-in-law for nudging us out of our comfort zone. We have absolutely no regrets. We kicked things off with Korean mandu (dumplings) -- absolutely fantastic! Then came the spicy BBQ chicken, which really took us by surprise with its bold, delicious flavor. The bulgogi beef and galbi gui (boneless ribs) were cooked right at the table, which added a fun and reassuring touch of freshness. The taste was excellent, and all the accompanying sauces complemented the dishes beautifully. We left full and happy with all our choices. The restaurant itself was cozy, nicely decorated, and the service met all expectations. A great first dive into Korean cuisine -- we're already looking forward to the next time! 한국 음식점을 처음 방문한 경험이었는데, 정말 잊지 못할 순간이었습니다! 우리를 편안한 영역 밖으로 이끌어 준 모험심 강한 아들과 며느리에게 정말 감사해요. 전혀 후회하지 않았습니다. 먼저 한국식 만두로 시작했는데, 정말 환상적이었어요! 이어서 나온 매운 BBQ 치킨은 풍부하고 맛있는 풍미로 우리를 깜짝 놀라게 했습니다. 불고기와 갈비구이(뼈 없는 갈비)는 테이블에서 바로 구워줘서 신선함이 느껴졌고, 정말 재미있는 경험이었어요. 맛도 훌륭했고, 곁들여진 소스들도 음식과 아주 잘 어울렸습니다. 우리는 선택한 음식들에 모두 만족하며 배부르고 행복하게 식사를 마쳤습니다. 식당은 아늑하고 예쁘게 꾸며져 있었고, 서비스도 기대 이상이었습니다. 한국 음식에 대한 첫 경험이 아주 좋았고, 다음 방문이 벌써 기대됩니다!

    This place was a complete bait-and-switch. They advertised galbi gui, but what came out looked…read morenothing like galbi gui. Instead of grilled short ribs, I was served a saucy, spicy pan of meat and vegetables that felt more like a stir-fry than anything resembling the dish on the menu. If you are going to use the name of a classic Korean dish, at least serve something vaguely close to it. To make it worse, they told me KBBQ required ordering for 2 people minimum, so I was forced to buy two portions of this lie. That policy is already obnoxious, but it feels even worse when the food itself is misrepresented. And then the Korean pancakes came served with cream cheese. Very authentic. Nothing says traditional Korean food quite like random cream cheese slapped onto dishes that do not call for it. Overall, this place felt overpriced, misleading, and gimmicky. If you want actual Korean food, go somewhere that does not rewrite the menu and call it authentic

Overall we had a nice experience here but there are better places to get Korean food. The stone bowls were good but there was hardly and beef in them. So I guess pay the 2€ extra for more meat. We also had the glass noodles with chicken which were not very flavorful. On the plus side: the rice tasted very nice! Also it was a nice atmosphere to sit outside on the terrace. Maybe try a different Korean place first.

Also, this might be a long review because I am STILL pleased with my experience tonight. Okay, so I have been craving rice and vegetables since I got to Europe three weeks ago. Sushi just was not cutting it for me, and I spent long hours searching up what restaurants seemed good, and coordinated it with my work schedule (I currently work in Potsdam, quite a commute!). I ran upon Madang while I was on Yelp and looking at yamyam instead. Madang seemed really close to my apartment in Tempelhof, so I decided today to go try it out. At first, I was really nervous because I have been pretty disappointed with the Vietnamese restaurants here in the past, that I did not want to be disappointed with Korean food, one of my favourite cuisines. When I got off the U-Bahn and found Madang, I was relieved to see it was owned by Korean people, and that there were Asian people eating -- VERY good sign! I decided to walk in and dine inside. I was greeted by a lady wearing a traditional Korean outfit, which I thought was pretty cool with the decor too. I ordered the bibimbap, and it was a hot day so I did not want it in the hot stone pot with the egg, but the lady convinced me anyway, so I did. When it came out, I was expecting it to be burning hot, like back in California, but it actually was hot enough for the egg to cook but cool enough for me to start digging in immediately! It also came with seaweed soup, beans and hot sauce. The bibimbap is definitely NOT the best nor close to California quality, but because I have little expectations in Berlin, I was satisfied! It could have used more meat though... I also did not think the hot sauce was hot enough...I put the whole thing in there, barely tasted spice. I guess I will ask for more next time. The seaweed soup was good, I avoided the beans, and the kimchi was...alright, kind of like kimchi you get at some ramen places. Anyway, if this was in California, I would give it 2.5 stars, but because I'm in Berlin AND because the servers were so nice (even let me take pictures of my stuffed blue fly inside and complimented it!), I will give this place four stars. They made me feel secure eating by myself too, haha. And I also got watermelon after my bill! Yay! (:
