Hodori Korean Garden

Calm atmosphere, relaxing music and exceptional service from the staff. Everyone was lovely. Food was delicious, will definitely be adding this to the rotation of restaurants to visit. The budae jjigae was the highlight for us!

3 of us, 2 adults and 1 child, large amounts of food. Very accommodating when our daughter asked for a single friend egg!

Beautiful food. Love the atmosphere of the restaurant. Will visit again soon!!

This restaurant has recently become my favourite. The beef bone soup was amazing and the side dishes were fantastic. The seafood noodle portion was huge! If you like seafood, I highly recommend it. One thing I especially liked was how friendly the girl working there was. She was really patient and gave me good recommendations, even though I always took a while to decide what to order because I like trying new things. I had a really nice meal! Definitely gonna come back again!

We ordered takeaway from here (however the interior of the restaurant has a really homely and comfortable atmosphere for dine-in!). The food here is truly amazing and wonderfully made. This is the place to come to for comfort food. I highly recommend their jjambbong - it was abundant in flavour and the noodles were so bouncy. Their fried chicken was nice too and its serving size was huge. The service here was super lovely. Just remember to bring cash as they do not accept card payments.

Enjoying our Korea. dinner here tonight with good service from Ran.. which she has been operating for the past 23 years in Clayton . We love their side dishes and we had some bbq meat , Jia Jiang Mian 😋with spicy sweet Korean fried chicken . The spicy sweet Korean fried chicken was a bit too spicy for me .

If you’re looking for authentic and affordable Korean food I highly recommend you come to this restaurant. It’s got a very homey vibe, obviously family owned so service is a bit slow but they make up for it with their attentiveness and personal touch.

The food is hearty and fully of flavour, the serving sizes are large for the price. Despite their large menu selection each dish has a notable freshness to it and come to the table piping hot so you know it’s cooked per order.

Fam's favourite dine in restaurant for Korean homestyle meals for 10+ years, cash only, dare say the seasonings of hotplate bulgogi have only gotten better over the years, such as the chicken bulgogi sauce is uniquely dry but packs a great kick of spice, always go for spicy soybean stew too! Their banchan often provides a great surprise with seasonal changes too (Disclaimer: Teriyaki chicken pictured)

Thank you for paying attention to my comments on my uber order. Funny that my favourite thing about this place are the SIDE DISHES! I'm currently sick and have no appetite and really love their fish cake and kimchi side dishes so I kindly asked for more. I could literally eat just their plain rice, kimchi and fish cakes and be satisfied. There was a new mix to the side dishes today. ANCHOVIES! It was so good it may take over the fish cakes 😅.
Thanks again Hodori!

Ohhhhh you know you're in for a treat when every other diner is Korean, and give their advice on favourite dishes! We enjoyed table BBQ beef a few different cuts, seafood, sides of japchae, cold beef noodles, KFC, kimchi pancake, mushrooms, rice, and many more! We were happy to give our dietary requirements to the owner and allow him to curate a menu to feed the 5 of us, one being vegetarian. Impeccable. Nothing we didn't like, and having travelled around South Korea it brought back fabulous memories. Do yourself a favour and give them a try!
N.B. I am a chef. I also suffer with OCD and find it incredibly difficult to eat food prepared by others. The owner was so gracious in allowing me to reassure myself visiting the kitchen and talking to the chef. I know, I'm a nightmare customer, but they were so welcoming I wasn't as embarrassed as I usually would be in explaining my issues. If I could give 10 stars I would.

Beef sashimi salad is really fresh and Gob-Chang jeongol is very tasty. Very reasonable price.

Top Korean restaurant in Melbourne South East.

Food was delicious , friendly service nice and relaxed .
Thanks guys

I love Korean food and have been many diffent restaurant. For me this place is the beat around this area.

Bibimbap for lunch. Very quiet at lunchtime (maybe due to lack of a lunch menu). Food was fantastic. To top it off miso and 6 Kimchi dishes were served as an accompaniment.

The Korean BBQ experience is the BEST in Melbourne! Can’t complain… 🇰🇷🍗🍖💯💯💯

Staff here are very friendly and attentive. They serve barbecue Korean as well as Japanese food. Depending on what you order the food can be very delicious. I love the cold noodle salads. Upstairs dining so just be mindful of the steps. Cute little place.

Great service and food. Came here on a Sunday lunch with a big group and the poor waiter had to server us and the few others in the restaurant by himself. He did a great job, was friendly and food came out fast and was delicious. Would come again. Might book in advance just to give them a heads up next time

This place is really good. I highly recommend if you even remotely like Korean food. Their beef bulgogi is beautiful. Their service is great and their Korean BBQ is, like most places, pretty fun.
A few things to note;
They only accept cash.
The restaurant is upstairs, so the bottom level looking empty is normal.
Their food is great.

Nice local Korean place. Great food

I always like take away beef Bibimbap for lunch. Food was fantastic.
I hope set more lunch food on menu.
