This Mesa restaurant has been serving authentic Korean fare for years, and we're happy to say that in all that time, HoDoRi hasn't slipped. On any given night, you're likely to find dozens of diners in the restaurant tucking into oversize bowls brimming with rice and spicy meats or scooping up mouthfuls of soft tofu soup. The kimchi bokum bap (kimchi fried rice) is one of our favorite dishes, featuring rice, kimchi, beef, and an egg served in a massive hot stone bowl. And the haemul jungol, a Korean seafood stew, makes an adventurous meal. It's enjoyed family-style, gets cooked tableside, and comes chock-full of everything from squid and shrimp to crab and sea squirts.
