Perhaps my mistake was to think that Korean food was actually a simpler version of Japanese cuisine with « kimchi » added. I was wrong. At Hodori we were the only non-Korean patrons in the place PM, the place closes at The lighting, the setting, the half open kitchen, the group of Korean millennials (some with dyed blonde hair), all looked authentic enough. The signature dish of the kimchi pancakes was actually a deepfried thick pancake cut into squares, tasty if you like your food oily. Tubes of squid and thin slices of pork smothered in what we later understood was their own homemade hot ketchup, were, mixed together and cold, dumped on a plate heated by a table-top stove... and you had to cook it yourself. The squid was chewy from the start, the pork raw. After of cooking the pork was cooked and the squid had turned into unedible rubber. If they would have separated the ingredients, something tasty might have come out of it, perhaps. Who knows? A friend had the marinated hot beef which sent us into a wave of Ostalgia, food from former East Germany: gray. With white slivers of onion. Recommended to teach food snobs (like myself) a lesson: why wander far off the beaten path, only to understand that eating **** is a waste of time? Staff was friendly for Korean standards. And the kimchi was fine. We haven’t tried their famous soups at € during lunchtime (until PM) and frankly, we’re not going to. December

Top food if you like Korean. The interior design is very basic but that doesn't bother anyone if the food is good. read more Top food if you like Korean. The interior design is very basic but that doesn't bother anyone if the food is good.
