The Corcoran GroupNovember 21, 2013We're big fans of this authentic Korean dumpling house, and can't ever go to an event at MSG without stopping by here first. Start with an order of the Goon Mandoo followed by the Combo Mandoo.
RyanAugust 13, 2014Awesome Mandoo. Super fresh. Must try the pork and the veggie. The Jukumi Bibimbap was really the star of the show. Nice and spicy. The bowl was so hot it toasted the rice. Best I've ever had.
This is a highly recommended Korean Michelin restaurant with great value . Try their freshly handmade dumplings! Don't forget to the fried tofu that comes with a yummy sauce !
Mattan IngramJuly 2, 2016Easily the best dolsot bulgogi bibimbap from a non-fancy place. They mix it up to your requested spice level at the table in a searing hot stone bowl which makes the rice crispy awesomeness.
Ernesto GutierrezNovember 17, 2017Laid back dumpling bar. Mandoo on both it’s steamed and fried versions. The steak bibimbop is great, love the fact that the ceramic bowl it is served in will toast the rice at the bottom for you
Josephine SonSeptember 1, 2014Good for a quick fix dumpling craving! Get the fried pork or veggie dumplings. Quick and cheap when you're in a hurry.
Chefs FeedDecember 3, 2015"The ramen here is real! They also have hand made dumplings you can see in the window. It's so comforting and so fresh." Chef Shaun Hergatt Read more
Jinnie LNovember 24, 2012Open kitchen in the front amazing to watch them making mandoo. :) however, bulgogi dolsot bibimbap is the best!!! Also love their seafood mandoo!!! Go to place for quick lunch people!!!!!
Veronica HFebruary 6, 2013Can't not get the mandoo, steamed or fried doesn't matter. Bimbimbap made to your liking, go with medlevel spicy. Let the flavors mingle and let the rice get a nice crunch on the bottom bf eating
Ickle BickleFebruary 2, 2014Yummy and a favorite! HOWEVER, if you have a child that needs a highchair, be warned they do not have them. They have benches at all tables and can't add at end of table bc in way of waiters.
Paul BrennerOctober 24, 2013The dolsot bibimbap here is my favorite in k town. Something about the gochujang makes it magic. Seriously. Skip the mandoo, skip the bulgogi. Just get that greatness.
Diana CorreiaNovember 16, 2012This place has some of the best dumplings I have ever had. I used to hit it up 1-2 times a week when I worked on 5th. You can't go wrong here.
Joanna FlammDecember 14, 2018Entree-sized Goon Mandoo and Bulgogi bibimbop was the perfect order for two of us. Really tasty and pretty affordable.
We had the goon mandoo and mushroom dolsot bibimbab. They were really good. Will definitely visit there again soon.
Tara SuanAugust 7, 2014Appetizer order of pan fried dumplings plus two small 'ban chan' sides = a great light lunch or snack for $7 including tip!
Nick SawyerDecember 31, 2015Mandoo, hot pot, ramen, and seafood pancake are all great! Definitely try the hotpot!
Dustin LeeJuly 15, 2014You're basically paying $12 for something you can get in Chinatown for $2. The dumplings are good (but not better than the best Chinatown ones) but I doubt I'd be back
Robb FerrisDecember 21, 2011Kimchee mandoo and mixed mandoo are no-brainers, but bulgogi bimbimbap is some of the best in K-town too. Dinner for 2 will run you less than $40...great value
Sac LeungNovember 2, 2014Seafood dumpling & light fried pork dumpling are good. But not a big fan of vegetable dumpling. Btw, the soy sauce is delicious!
Wesley BlissDecember 13, 2015Korean mandoo dumplings, both fried and boiled. Great flavor & not overpriced. The spicy soup was a great accompaniment.
Sandra RubinchikAugust 26, 2015Everyone thinks it was Harry Styles, but I know these kimchi dumplings were the actual inspiration behind TSwift's "I Knew You Were Trouble."
Bruce JDecember 18, 2014Dumplings, dumplings, dumplings. Hand-made, many varieties. Plus other great Korean dishes, all reasonably priced.
Ekta DaryananiJanuary 6, 2015I wish all places made vegetable dumplings that were this good! The seafood bibimbap is nice and spicy!
If you enjoy the Nong Shim Ramen in the package, get the Mandoo Ramen here. Cooked with dumplings and then the egg in the soup. Delicious and homey and cheap!!!
The baby mandoo are bite sized, perfect for sharing. I love the dolsot bibimbap here!
Matthew CaldecuttJuly 30, 2016If you're craving dumplings and are in a hurry, stop in. Watch them be made from the window out front.
Some of the best dumplings in Korea town. Can't go wrong with fried, steamed or boiled.
John McFoodieJanuary 7, 2016The pork mandoo, seafood pancake, pickled veggies that they bring out fo free, mandoo soup, bimbimbob!
Steve JangDecember 12, 2011Order the fried dumplings as an appetizer. Then order the dumpling soup as your main course. And then have the dumpling ice cream for dessert.
Katie Berger FolmarMarch 1, 2015Dumplings are amazing. I had bimbibop and it was great. Want to get the ramen next time for sure!
John (aka “PHATFoodFan”)October 21, 2019Get the friend dumplings, not the steamed ones.
Kelsey LeeApril 20, 2014With a limited space and top notch dumplings, this place can get crowded, so be prepared to wait for a table!
EchoDAAugust 13, 2012the dumpling heaven.. enjoy the variety and you can actually see the dumplings being made nice and fresh
Avery LaurinOctober 27, 2017Very good bibimbap. The customer service could use a little work, needs to be more attentive.
Laurie D.March 19, 2011Make the dumplings right in the window as you pass. Great little edibles (the Pad Thai is pretty darn good, too) and a must have the next time you're in Korea Town.
kate kAugust 21, 2014The steamed vegetable mandoo are the healthiest tasting dumplings I've had - not oily or paste-y like some can be.
Ben K.August 18, 2010The goon mandoo are delicious! I know your hungry but don't pop the entire thing in your mouth right away or you might scald your tongue!
Jason StackJanuary 13, 2016Good and inexpensive food. Need to try the dumplings/mandoo next time, though.
Karla AFebruary 21, 2015Get the dried pork dumpling. Not too crazy about the steamed or boiled ones. Fat is flavor!
cheap eats! try the vegetable dumplings, beef fried rice and seafood bibimbap.
