Restaurant HODORI in Berlin

Hodori is the Korean Mom, I never had. Thank you for being there, silently and patiently, with the most tasty and good priced meals in berlin! you the real MVP!

Wow the restaurant couldn't be more authentic! My absolute favorite is the beef fire meat 😍😍 The fried chicken with the ketchup sauce is also recommended. Absolute top animal!

I love shops like this: plastic tables and cheap chairs but no compromises when it comes to food. Authentic Korean food. If you like Korean, you've come to the right place. My recommendation: wheat tea.

Jjamppong is amazingly delicious Now, I. I'm in Korea and want to go to Berlin to eat Jjambbong.

authentic Korean food in a simple atmosphere, more in the market hall style. not particularly comfortable, but very tasty.

Best Korean restaurant in all of Berlin.

Feels a bit like in Korea. The food is great!

The staff seemed very busy and tired. The staff were friendly, but the food wasn't tasty. The sweet and sour pork was mediocre for the price, but all the dishes with kimchi were not good. Everything from the kimchi served as a side dish to the kimchi pancake and tofu kimchi were not very good. If the stir-fried kimchi at a Korean restaurant doesn't taste good... I guess I should just change the kimchi itself... The kimchi pancake was closer to bindaetteok than pancakes. I went to this place after being recommended, but I was very disappointed.

Authentic, very tasty. Rustic interior but unbeatable value for money. What I never understand: there are four vegetable side dishes/starters for many dishes. But the same amount, regardless of whether you are there with 1, 2 or 3 people.

if one chooses to go to a restaurant only for the food (expressly excluding the beverages): the place may seem decent enough in that respect. should one wish to dine in a somewhat fine ambiente, one might want to close ones eyes. the service was quite decelerated and inattentive on the day in question.

You shouldn't let the interior influence you. It may not be the greatest ambience, but the food is really good! Korean BBQ - Very tasty and highly recommended.

The Guobao Pork is good, but tasty enough. But the barbecue is a bit too sweet and salty, and the side dishes are also too salty.

At first glance the exterior and interior really doesn't impress a lot, but once you get your food, it really doesn't matter! Great BBQ options and plenty of wonderful dishes to share. Special shoutout for the fried chicken and fried sweet-sour pork!

Craziest service ever! Zero understanding of the German language and English is exactly the same! You get the wrong food and then no one understands what you say! I ordered sweet and sour pork and got tofu with kimchi and then they said I had ordered this dish!

A delicious seasoned chicken restaurant. Kimchi stew not so good. The pork belly is frozen but not that good. Oriros was better. Jjambbong is delicious.

Don’t be fooled by the old style looks of the restaurant, the food is absolutely fantastic - perfectly authentic and huuuuuge portions!

I love the ambience so much. I’d recommend this place to everyone. (plus the boss was so friendly too)

The food was good but the service is not. They are not friendly, and I want to take away my food they just gave a plastic bag in an unfriendly way.

It was really good, the food was very tasty. Was completely satisfied. 👍🏼

The food (vegetarian) unfortunately forgot the name, was delicious and very rich, tofu with vegetables and the obligatory rice. The service was very polite and attentive. The ambience is not worth mentioning as it is probably several years old and therefore points are deducted. But I'd love to come back for the delicious food.🙏🍀🌸

Fantastic Korean restaurant. Ordered the chicken, pork and squid grill and some Korean fried chicken and a couple of wines and beers. 60€. They also accept card payment now.

Tasty Korean food worth a try. Brought me nice dining experience👍🏻

Nice place, shame we couldn't sit outside. We had beef grill for 2 (47), was really tasty

Super delicious Korean pancakes 🤸 in a pleasant low-key atmosphere

Delicious, my whole family tasted better than anywhere else. Come again!

One of the most authentic Korean restaurants in Berlin. I can only heartily recommend it to every Korean who lives here and is looking for a bit of home in Berlin. The decor is already reminiscent of a traditional restaurant in Seoul, the smell transports you there immediately. All the stars in the world.

Delicious and beautifully authentic. This is what a good Korean must be like. The kimchi is particularly good, the only drawback is the comparatively expensive soju. As a recommendation, it is also good to ask beforehand about the size of the dish in question. Xoxo

A great selection of delicious food. Worth stopping by

The food was very tasty, the Korean cold noodle soup was surprisingly tasty, the children also liked our adult dishes (bulldogs). The place is a bit neglected, a lady's hand would be nice to take care of this restaurant. However, something for something, the prices are very affordable, we paid €63 for meals for 4 people (cold soup, bulldogs with beef, twice fried chicken in sauce and 2 large bottles of water). I recommend :)

Such a gem. We love to come back again and again and try something else. Or just stereotypicly order ketchup chicken. All the soups are super delicious and if i am ever sick the ox tail soup is what i am dreaming about. You cannot go wrong here. It has not beautiful interior, but i feel like that is also part of its charm 😄. Plus is also how long they have open. Just great.

Disappointed. Felt very basic food and overpriced.

Authentic restaurant, delicious food

The best Korean restaurant in Berlin, huge portions - menu Nunmer 3 and 35!!!!

Menu 3 for 4 people is so delicious! In terms of quantity, it's more likely for 5-6 people. Unfortunately, things are often forgotten and the service is a bit slow

The service attitude is very poor, and the set menu cannot be changed. When I came here before, the waiter brought the wrong soup and the dishes were not served for a long time. I waited for 20 minutes after finishing the meal and had to wait for a long time before the last dish was served.

Not the best of Korean food I have had in Berlin but it has been great. The environment was kind of out of fashion but maybe it’s more authentic. I definitely will revisit from time to time.

Hodori and Arirang are restaurants run by the same Yanbian people, and are filthy restaurants with insincere side dishes that are dry and twisted, air-blown rice that is not chewy, and no concept of hygiene in the restaurant environment. The two restaurants, Hodori and Arirang, are run by Chinese people with Korean restaurant signs and are tarnishing the image of Korea, so please do not go there and waste your money.

Good place, not too expensive either.

It was a long time ago when I visited HODORI for the first time. I was lucky enough to visit this place from the Korean 80s with a Korean. Back then I was overwhelmed by the food and atmosphere, years later it is still very good but somehow not as good as it used to be.

Best Korean BBQ in Berlin no cap at all! We took ketchup chicken what is also a Korean traditional dish and that was phenomenal! Also the self cooked beef was good but not the pork belly so much. We took them without marinating because we have been here before and the marinade is so spice that it will make you cry if you do not tolerate spicy food! Otherwise inside is very hot and the fans will not cool you a bit while there is a cooking pan a head of you making more heat. So be prepared to sweat while you cook and it! Otherwise 10/10 food and experience!

The Korean-speaking employees were very unfriendly. It's scary to ask... It was a very unpleasant meal.

The cold noodles can be colder and there are free side dishes

The Guobao Pork is an old-fashioned Guobao Pork seasoned with vinegar. It’s delicious.

Great food, amazing staff, the best t-shirt. All that flavour in one bowl.

Yes, the ambience is not nice. But I think that it also has its charm! The food, however, was really tasty and the prices were very reasonable. There are also some vegetarian dishes. One star deducted because the BBQ grill is not available with tofu. I'll definitely be back!

Great Korean with spartan furnishings and very good prices. The food was delicious and the beer was good too. Had a menu for three and barely made it.

I liked the atmosphere, for me it kinda represented the vibe of a typical old Korean restaurants in K-dramas:) but unfortunately I wasn’t pleased with the food, the ketchup sauce of the chicken was too much for me and the food generally wasn’t that fresh and authentic compared to my previous experiences of Korean chicken.

Food was very tasty. But the service… 🤨

Conclusion first: I'll be back! Food (ketchup chicken and marinated seafood and chicken) isn't really cheap, but it's incredibly tasty and freshly prepared. The small, free appetizers of sprouts, pickled potatoes, and kimchie were also delicious. In terms of price, the liter bottle of Cola is really great at €5. Service was okay.

The fried dumplings were very soft, just like boiled ones, with no shape and taste. It can be said that the fried noodles have almost no taste, but the portion is large and it’s okay if it’s just to fill your stomach. The Guobao Pork is good and delicious, but the service staff has a bad attitude and works very slowly. Repeated urgings are useless. I waited for at least ten minutes to pay the bill. After urging twice, the service staff was still there wiping other tables. And he put on a dead face, obviously the restaurant was not full at that time 😅 I won’t come again

The food is great. It won't blow your mind, but the price is fair, there are tons of options and the BBQ plates are very good to share with friends. The ketchup chicken is a godsend. The staff is indeed a bit busier / non attentive than one might expect, but if you're not in a hurry you will be totally fine. I go there quite frequently and would highly recommend it!

The taste of the food we ordered is below par. The kimchi Feuertopf lacked umami, fried chicken tasted like Cantonese sweet sour fried pork (koe loe yuk) and seafood pancake was thick in batter with too little seafood. The best was the kimchi banchan. Service was okay. One of the waitresses had an attitude. Our order was taken wrongly and they’ve forgotten the noodles in our kimchi feuertopf. Atmosphere felt like a nice local Korean restaurant.

Authentic Korean cuisine. The atmosphere there is also very authentic

This place does not look very special. It has poor interior design. But it's not the architectural aspects that are the cause this place is packed everyday. It's actually the kitchen. After getting inside you are presented with a very nicely thought out menu, which is not as overwhelming as in some of the Asian restaurants, but which actually covers the top dishes from the Korean cuisine. One that you don't find often in Berlin Korean shops : O-Ri BBQ (duck). This makes this place to one of the most authentic Korean restaurants in town. It is amazing, really. Pair it with some down-to-earth pajong and addictive KFC (Korean fried chicken) and you are going to be blown away instantly. Pair with So-mek (unfortunately the staff doesn't know what it is so you have to explain you want the soju and a Beer). Shake well for a satisfactory experience.

If you want to try Korean BBQ, this is the place for you.

Mediocre Korean food in an outdated atmosphere and with a male, unfriendly, bored waitress who just slams the food onto the table. Not at all comparable to the times of the original owners, when the quality was still good.

The restaurant doesn't look too good but the food is highly recommended. There is a lunch menu at lunchtime. It tastes so good and the service is very friendly.

Even if it doesn't look that great from the outside, the food is even more delicious. The bulgogi is first class! We eat it every time, and the chicken in ketchup sauce is also delicious!

It was the sweet Korean food I found when I was craving European food ♥ All the staff were friendly and the taste was delicious without a doubt ~~~ It's hard to find this much taste at this price ^^

Really delicious, would love to come back 👌

Owners are not Koreans but food were authentic. Really tasty fried chicken, banchans, bbq beef and octopus. Need to say that beef were tender and incredible but octopus changed into gum. Anyway big + because of the best and most authentic kimchi which I ate in Berlin. Interior design a bit old, and it was super hot inside, but can bear it for this food! Service were super nice and friendly too. For sure we will come back. Unfortunately Naenmyeong, cold soup was not available this time, but ⭐️for having it in the menu.

The place stinks of bad meat and stinky fish. Der Kellner had an unhappy face

Delicious food, very friendly and attentive service. A lovely experience.

The food and portions are very nice and delicious, the waiters are very friendly and the food came so fast. But the restaurant is very hot inside, the ventilation is not so good.

food was nice but the service was a bit slow but we weren’t in a hurry. overall good food and a nice place.

Some dishes are 5/5 amazing taste and affordable, while other dishes are just okay. Try the fried pork dish and also the squid one (both are on the recommendation page of the menu). Went there 5 times in the winter and loved it but during the summer, it gets so hot 😭

Unfortunately it wasn't a nice evening. The ambience is reminiscent of a gas station with bright neon lights. Lots of burnt spots on the walls. Service was hectic (I have to say we were there an hour before closing time) Prices very expensive, a still bottle of water €5 The food was ok, unfortunately I didn't tolerate it well, but my companion did

I ordered bibimbap and tomato-flavored fried chicken. The CP value of the bibimbap was very low. The stone pot was not hot, and it contained half white rice, a little bit of minced meat and a lot of lettuce. It cost 12.5 euros. The fried chicken is okay, there is a lot of fried chicken but the taste is not very special. Once you've been there you won't go again.

Kitchen close at 10 pm be aware :)

Very tasty, large portions, fair prices 👍

It was my first time at this restaurant today, and I was looking forward to it. However, from the moment we walked in, we were ignored. It took about five minutes and multiple passes by two waitresses for someone to finally approach us and speak. The service was incredibly slow, from the appetizers to the ordering process. Everything felt sluggish. What was most frustrating was the attitude of the servers. They treated us as if we owed them something, bringing out dishes and speaking to us without a single word of communication. They would simply drop the food and leave. Even when changing the gas canister for the stove, not a single word was uttered.And it’s hard to make eye contact with the servers, who you can only catch when they are passing by to serve the tables around you. The guests at the surrounding tables were similarly beset, and seemed unable to get the waitstaff’s attention from a distance. All appeared equally helpless. I could see that some were already becoming visibly irritated. I have never encountered such rude service before. If this is how you serve customers, I believe you should consider not being in the service industry or not running a restaurant at all. If my friends ask me to recommend a better Korean restaurant, I would definitely not suggest this place. I don't pay to receive a rude attitude. Now to the food: I have lived in Korea for almost 8 years and have tried Korean restaurants in various German cities since being here. This is by far the worst one. Do not order the seafood stew – it was bland and tasteless.

The food was very tasty and authentic but the service was horrible. All the waiters looked really angry and seemed to avoid eye contact with the customers ( so it always took very long till we can finally requested something). We had hotpot and our stove ran out of gas. When we asked the waitress to changed it ( it took us forever to finally have her attention), she gave us a very rude attitude. In general, it was not pleasant to eat like this.

Typical Korean restaurant. Very tasty and authentic! The bulgogi was excellent, as was the ketchup chicken. Only those who don't like it spicy should ask the service again!

We were very excited to come here, this was my first time eating here. First of all, the food is no different from some Korean restaurants I've eaten at in Berlin. We ordered fried chicken with sweet and sour sauce, it was okay. Stir-fried vermicelli with beef would have been much tastier if less. sweet. The worst dish on the table is the one recommended by the staff: Seafood noodle soup! I couldn't eat it, we left a whole bowl, the taste was unpleasant, everything combined made the soup worse. The staff was not open, lacking customer care, she only brought food ate and put them on the table, didn't say anything to us. Definitely won't come back.

Full of color, flavor and taste

Honest shop with great authentic food

The staff was very rude to us. We wanted to reorder the side dishes for 3 main courses (2 grilled dishes and ketchup chicken), there were 4 people, and the waiter just said that we wouldn't be able to get anything. We would have paid, but this option wasn't even offered. The food, on the other hand, was still very good. The room was very overheated, no air conditioning or ventilation.

My review is already five years old and is still valid: awesome. A very authentic Korean. Not one of these chic people would pay 20 euros for a mini portion. Inexpensive, delicious food, drinks cheap, with table grill. I've had enough. Not everyone can do it. Recommendation!!!

Super tasty and diverse selection.

Very tasty Korean food. If a restaurant has real Koreans eating here, then it definitely means it's good. And so it was. I'm already looking forward to next time

The food was just ok, but the service was very unfriendly. The staff was old and red, and they gnawed at it quickly. I regretted not going because I was still sore.

At first site, the restaurant looks a bit run down and not appealing at all. The food here is very delicious and affordable.

For vegans, not many choices. Too hot inside. Staffs are not friendly. But food are okay. Boossam is good.

I had kimchi stew and beef bulgogi and it was delicious. It's hard to find a Korean restaurant with a lunch menu under 10 euros, but it was delicious for the price.

Really liked the atmosphere, it felt really authentic!

This is my favorite restaurant in Berlin. We always order 2 courses at #55 and it is very tasty. Only in Hodori - when we are on vacation.

Yes! super good, authentic Korean :)

Great OG Korean, the food is delicious and much much better than Kimchi Princess. Service is good, I will come there more often.

Reminds me of Asian American restaurants. Low key, great for large groups

Delicious. Authentic food and cheap too. Always happy

The sweet and sour pork was so tasty! Side dishes are included with every main. The kimchi was also really good!

Always good, a nice family friendly place

We've been here a few times and the food is really good. Unfortunately, there is a waitress (who also handles the checkout) who not only looks grim but is also very unfriendly. We experienced this not only with ourselves, but also with other guests. That's a shame because everyone else is friendly. Maybe it just wasn't a good day.

Customer service definitely needs to be improved! Foods are just ordinary. 2 soups 1 dish 2 drinks €43.

The food is great. But you should reserve in advance

Good food at a reasonable price

Their lunch menu is great! Think they are but understaffed as it takes them a while to attend and take our orders.

The food was absolutely amazing!

The food was just amazing! I recommend the korean pancake it was just soo good! The whole experience was totally worth it!

ㅠㅠ It’s the best.. I ate Jjajang rice, but the only picture I took was after I did the dishes.. Damn!
