Kodori

The food here is good. The service, not bad. But here’s the weird thing. If you dine in, a ginger salad, miso soup and pickled vegetables are included in the price of the meal. If you order to go, you pay the same price but get none of the above. When asked about it I was told, «if you eat here, it’s free. You are not paying for it. You can purchase a salad to go for $ 2.50.»
The dining area is extremely small and usually packed. Frequently there is just one person responsible for taking orders, running food, answering the phone and cashing out customers, both dine in and carryout. I just don’t get why they entice more people to dine in than carryout with this crazy pricing scheme. The day another Japanese and/​or Korean restaurant opens in Waldorf qill be the day Kodori begins to go out of business.

(4.5 stars) To die for sushi & bachan! Lunch special spicy pork, galbi & bulgogi and bi bim bap are also good. Spicy beef soup warms you up on the inside like a mother’s hug! It is also the perfect remedy when you’re feeling a little under the weather.
Service can be slow during the lunch rush, but the food is worth the wait.

Kodori is my favorite sushi spot. It’s a small, local restaurant that serves Japanese and Korean food. I’m always pleased with the food and the service. The servers are quick to attend to you and the food comes out relatively fast, of course depending on how busy it is that day. Each person receives salad with ginger dressing and miso soup as well as sides for the table.
I think it’s one of the best sushi places I’ve been to. My favorite rolls are the Hurricane Roll, Kodori Roll, and Maryland Roll. I order them almost every time I go! Aside from sushi, their other menu items are good as well including the Korean dishes and they also have great lunch specials for those that want more «bang for your buck».
The only downside is that because it’s a small restaurant, there isn’t a lot of space. If you show up on a busy day, you just have to sit tight and wait for someone to leave. It’s a first-​come, first-​serve style of seating. With that said though, I don’t think I have ever had to wait too long to be seated.
