The nicest people work here! They are so friendly and helpful. It was my first time here and I was not sure what to get. They recommended an order of the steamed kimchi mandoo and the fried beef mandoo. The sauce that they came with was the perfect dipping sauce for both flavors. I also got some delicious kimchi that had a nice level of spice to it! I will be coming back as soon as I can and will be frequenting this restaurant for the foreseeable future.

Great spot for dumplings. Nice to eat there, but mostly designed for to go. The giant dumplings are all great, though the fan favorite is the shrimp I’m hearing (I loved it but have no favorites). Don’t be afraid to get them steamed or go for the 6 smaller dumplings. Can’t go wrong with anything on the menu, so try everything and you’ll quickly settle on your new usual order for next time. Enjoy!

Incredibly delicious!! It’s a small business, with the kindest employees and the most delicious dumplings! The combination plate was particularly tasty. Get the Kimchi for sure! We found this to be an exceptional dining experience, and we will certainly be back!

online menu but they do have a menu in the restaurant. I got the 5 piece dumpling sample and it was excellent! I especially liked the kimchi and pork dumpling. They are different from the prior owner but nonetheless tasty as heck. They added dishes to their menu which I am excited to try. I saw a family eating there and what was on the table looked fabulous.

We went into Seoul ManDoo for a quick lunch on a Sunday and it was such a treat. The lady working there was so nice and was very happy to recommend the Giant Fried Shrimp dumplings to us. They did not disappoint and the Giant Meat Dumplings were fantastic as well. Highly recommend this place for the food and for the quality of service from the employee there. We will definitely be back!

Always love this place. The best dumplings made fresh. Plus you can take home frozen to cook at home. This is our go-to for some delicious eats. Our favorite is the seafood shrimp dumplings.

Seoul ManDoo is a delicious spot to get your dumpling-fix. From the fluffy giant kimchi dumplings to the crunchy fried meat dumplings, everything here is incredible. If tasty dumplings weren’t enough, the staff are super friendly and personable. Though designed for takeout, the shop’s indoor seating is quite comfy and the venue remains welcoming for dine-in or -out. I highly recommend this cute, delicious dumpling stop!

I mean who doesn't want a mandu the size of your hand!?! Always fresh and always tasty! I typically call ahead for a pick up order to go and it's packaged so perfectly with pickled radish and sauce in the box as soon as i get there. The combos are great for those that just can't decide on one type but I love the shrimp one and the kalbi option the most... and the kimchi... see thus is why you just get the combo and call it a day. The dining area is a bit small but it's clean and there if you just cant wait to taste your mandu goodness.

This place is all about the food. I suspect 90% of their businesses take out.. it's not the kind of place you would schedule to dine there typically. The food is very tasty and they have a loyal following . They are locating or perhaps now I should say have located. I'm not certain exactly of that status other than on my last visit they told me they were moving soon. Their new location is near H Mart for those of you who know H Mart. For those of you who do not know H Mart from their present location it is approximately a mile and a half north on Havana.. turn left on Yale and then it will be a right turn 800 feet into that shopping center. As knowing their new location, suggests, I am a loyal patron of this business based on the reliably delicious taste of their dumplings. I sometimes order them mixed order, but more typically the all meat dumplings. Two are sufficient.

Cute little spot, never noticed it was here but because sushi was closed we were hungry and needed to eat! Walked over and we ordered both steam and fried variety dumplings and both were great!!!! Highly recommend.

Seoul ManDoo is a great find for takeout. My order was ready in a manner of minutes, of which I waited comfortably in their clean and cute seating area. I ordered their 4pc giant dumpling combo and got four flavors. My favorites were the shrimp and the kimchi dumplings. The dumpling was well-stuffed. Absolutely full of veggies and noodles. the fried shrimp dumpling was satisfyingly crispy. This plate comes with a zesty sauce and a side of pickled radish. The sauce was perfect to pour onto or dip your dumpling in and the radish was a nice, crunchy palette cleanser between different flavors. I also ordered some frozen dumplings to take home. They'll make great additions to my lunch and dinners in the near future. Thank you Seoul ManDoo.

Would have liked to try it but went to the address that is posted on their site and yelp - when we got there there was a sign on the door with a new address, which unfortunately is an empty parking lot between an izakaya restaurant and a gas station

Heard this place had some good dumplings so I had to try it. I got the kimchi fried dumplings and the meat baos. The fried kimchi dumpling was a hit! very crispy and tasty with the dipping sauce. I didn't care too much for the meat baos, it was a bit tasteless. Enjoyed the side of radish too. Resturant is small with limited tables. I did order to go.

The dumplings were big in portion sizes and tasty! My family of 5 got two combos and that was plenty to feed us all. My young one loved the kimchi dumpling. My personal favorite was the meat dumping. There was one nice lady working and she was accommodating and friendly. It is a nice cozy restaurant. I would recommend to a friend!

Tried this place today after seeing it quite a few times and being curious. Loved it, huge portions for the meals. At first I was admittedly skeptical about pricing because it seems to be expensive for 4 dumplings for $16 (as an example), but when you get your plate, you immediately realize that it's worth it. We didn't even finish our food! The dumplings were large and delicious, I preferred the steamed shrimp one but the fried one also was a star. Galbi bun was great also, would recommend

Wow, wow, and wow. My girlfriend and I made it into Denver, CO and we're looking for food places to eat. She recommended we try this restaurant and I said let's do it. As soon as we walked in, we were greeted warmly by the owner which I appreciated very much. We asked about some of the menu items and she gave us a brief description of the different options and her personal recommendations on what to order, so we took her recommendation and ordered the Fried Dumplings with half meat and half kimchi. The food was absolutely amazing. The fried dumplings were crispy, crunchy, juicy, savory, delicious, and when paired with the sauce, it became an explosion of flavors which I loved. The only thing I was upset about was how quickly I ate them. Overall, I was extremely impressed with not only the food, but the owners as well. They were very nice and respectful, they checked on the other customers and made sure everything was going great. I definitely recommend everyone to come here and try the amazing food options that Seoul Mandoo provides. I will definitely be returning the next time I'm in Denver!

Kimchi dumplings quite good, and a little larger than I expected. Noodle soup was a bit bland and the noodles reminded me of thick dumpling wrappers. Service was good, though there weren't any English menus. Restaurant was small but pleasant.

Not many food places leave me speechless, but Seoul ManDoo had no problem doing that! My boyfriend and I were looking at a places to eat while on my trip to Denver and this gem of a restaurant popped up. The food looked appetizing on Yelp, but I am so happy to say that the taste was just as amazing. I haven't been able to find food that reminded me of Korea since I left, but the taste of this food transported me back to my time there! I had the Giant Dumpling Combo 3 which consisted of Kimchi, Galbi, and Meat, and tried the fried meat and kimchi Seoul dumplings. Both which were amazing, and I would try to write about the flavors but there's no words for food this good. Also the sauce that comes with it is a perfect combination for the dumplings and adds even more amazing flavor. The service here is also top notch. The cashier was so kind and helpful, and just added on to our amazing experience. If I could give this place a 6th star I would, GREAT job. I will be missing this place until I come back to Denver. If you're in the area- you need to stop here !

Wow! I have never had steamed dumplings like these! The texture of the dough was fluffy yet smooth and not overwhelming the flavors hidden inside. If you like some kick to your dumplings then I highly recommend the Kimchi Dumplings. If not, then my second favorite was the meat dumplings. Both were full of flavor and perfect for one meal. I was full after eating 2. Swing by this place and check it out! It's on Yelp's top 50 for a reason.

Had an overall nice experience here. The buns were very good with delicious filling. However, the potstickers were disappointing and we're so crispy that they cut our mouth.

We found this place from Yelp reviews and it has become one of our favorite little hole-in-the-walls. We will drive across town to eat here. This place is small, but never packed. The people working here are some of the kindest humans I've ever encountered. They always make us feel welcome. We always get an order of the fried shrimp giant dumplings to split, and then I get the fried kimchi Seoul dumplings, and the hubby gets the fried meat Seoul dumplings. Pro tip: reheat the leftovers the next day in the air fryer at 375° for 6 minutes and they're just as good as the day before. Someday I'll try the steamed dumplings, but for now, I'll stick with the regular. Pro tip: the parking lot is probably the worst parking lot in the city, so park on the street to save yourself some anxiety.

I wanted to find a new place to fix my dumpling craving. I opened yelp and searched. Seoul ManDoo had some really good ratings. I headed there to get a takeout order yesterday. It was not busy at 4:30 on a Sunday. I ordered the fried kimchi, and Galbi dumplings. Four to an order. These are larger than the store bought dumplings. Each order came with the dumpling sauce and chopsticks. The kimchi dumplings have a kick to them. Both were flavorful and very tasty. I'll be back. This place is located on a corner that has a lot to choose from!

Overall: 4, Taste: 3.5, Value 4 Ordered take out here for small group of friends. Got 1 order each of fried kimchi and meat dumplings ($7 each) and three 4 piece giant dumpling combos ($14 each). This amount of food was enough to feed 5 people. The fried shrimp dumplings in the combo were definitely the best tasting, but a little expensive for how small they are. The meat/kimchi fried dumplings tasted great and were a great deal for $7. I didn't like the steamed dumplings as much as I thought I would. The wrapping is thicker and breadier, less like a dumpling and more like bao. All of the different fillings tasted pretty similar and were not as flavorful as I had hoped. Overall great to grab for a group dinner and share for the variety. Preferred any of the fried dumplings over the steamed ones.

Came for a Yelp event. What a cute place! I love it. I'll have to bring my son as he is into all things Korean because of his heritage. The place is cozy and warm. The server was so nice and helpful. They made up my special event box and off I went as I wanted to share my goodies with my son. The carry out box was so awesome. Well made and sturdy. The dumplings were huge. We warmed them up in a moist towelette. 4 different kinds - shrimp, kimchi, galbi and meat. Galbi is marinated meat but I wasn't sure if it was pork or beef. There were sauces included - soy sauce, chili sauce and pickled radish. The dumplings were tasty. My son really liked them. I liked the shrimp and kimchi dumplings. My son ate them all. We are definitely going to head to the restaurant and eat some warm, fresh dumplings. Can't wait.

This place is definitely not overhyped! It deserves all the high ratings. We were first greeted ever so warmly by the lady whom I assumed was the owner. I got a 4 giant dumplings combo and a Korean rice cake. Was wondering if that'll be enough for two people. She didn't pressure me to order more but suggested that I tried the food first. She also didn't need me to pay up front just in case I want to order more. The food came out and everything was delicious. I mean, DELISH! First things first: unless you're lactose intolerant, ask for cheese topping for the rice cakes, it'll be so fun to eat! All 4 of the giant dumplings in the combo were wonderful in different ways. The Kimchi one had just the right amount of kick. The shrimp one is hubby's favorite. I loved the bun skin on the non-fried Mandoos just as much. Everything has that home-y feel like when you go home for dinner. The skin to filling ratio is impeccable. I'd love to come back and try the veggie Mandoos!

The food speaks for itself. The bun is fluffy and light yet very filling. The filling is simple yet the flavors are elegant and leave you wanting to eat more. The texture of the filling is very satisfying and you get a nice combination of meat and noodles with a mouthful of the steamed bun in each bite. There is plenty filling and unlike other places there is a good balance of filling and bun. I ordered the giant 4 piece meat mandoo and it came with 2 orders of soy sauce and a single order of radish. The radish was a delicious compliment to the soft bun and had a sharp taste with a crunch to it. I walked in 12 minutes before closing on a Friday night and the lady at the counter was very friendly. Service was quick and efficient and I was out of there within 7 minutes. I did not dine in but the restaurant has a cost homely feeling to it. It's easier to grab and go but I can see the appeal of sitting in and people watching while you enjoy this delicious meal.

First off, a HUGE applause to the service! In this small, family-run operation, I have never felt so much compassion and care in the food service. While it's a walk-up counter style ordering, she was very kind to explain all the different menu items and providing suggestions/recommendations. She also came to our booth multiple times through our dinner to check in on us. Very unnecessary but very much appreciated! These buns- WOW- they live up to the hype! I highly recommend the 4-pack, where you can try a little of everything. My husband's favorite is the shrimp, mine was the kimchi. GO- you are missing out!!!

We came here Wednesday evening for dinner time. The dining space is very small and cozy, but we were still able to grab a spot. Service was so friendly and kind. We ordered the giant 4 combo plate, fried meat dumplings, and the sweet red bean paste buns. Our food was ready promptly and steaming hot and fresh. The giant combo plate was truly giant. The texture of the steamed buns were so soft and fluffy. All were delicious but I think my favorites were the Galbi and the fried shrimp. The fried meat dumplings were also fantastic. So hot and crunchy on the outside, meat so juicy on the inside. I also love the pickled radish served on the side. We ended with the sweet red bean buns. They were massive and not as sweet as we were expecting, but still delicious (also made for great leftovers). I would definitely come back to Seoul Mandoo. Their other menu items look so good, and their kind service was a huge plus!

After the last YelpEvent, I was hungry for some more mandoo and also wanted to try their ddeokboki with cheese. When we got there, there was only one couple dining. Now you know how the story goes. We ordered the vegi mandoo, ddeokboki with cheese to eat at the restaurant. We also got $25 frozen meat dumplings to go. The cashier brought out a small dish, dipping sauce and dish of diakon (yellow pickled radish). Took about 10 minutes to get our food and was surprised to find that our vegi dumpling had green skin. Our mandoo was delicious as expected and loved ddeokboki which had perfect level of spiciness. By this time, the place was packed with to go orders. 5 stars all the way!

We walked in and we were warmly greeted by the staff. This small establishment makes big dumplings! If you plan to eat in there are 4 tables, 12 seats total but you can also take the buns to go including frozen buns! The bun was absolutely fantastic, filled up to the rim, and so elegantly twisted shut. The flavors were delicious but subtle. It was easy to identify the beef from the shrimp, the bun we assumed was the Korean bbq has a little spice! The buns were accompanied by soy sauce and pickled radish. Being that we came during lunch time parking was slammed but there's plenty of street parking if needed.

Thank you Seoul Mandoo for participating in this Yelp event. As a person who previously lived in Korea, the taste of mandoo was greatly missed and this fulfilled my longing. Not to mention the friendly Korean lady reminiscent of the Korean Ajoommas (ladies) in Korea. The size of the mandoo is pretty large and priced fairly. The outer bun was very soft and had a nice subtle flavor to it. I just wish that the filling was slightly more moist and flavorful. I noticed that my reliance on the soy sauce was pretty heavy. Same goes for the Jjin Ppang (more moist and sweet). This combination left me quite thirsty throughout my dining experience. Also, water was not provided and sold for a dollar. Overall, eating here was a pretty good experience and I will be coming back when my cravings for mandoo are back. Thank you again!

Seoul ManDoo is on Yelp's top 50 for a reason... delicious dumplings, quick service, and fun atmosphere. My friend and I split the Giant Combo as well as the Red Bean Bun special. It ended up being A LOT of food but we pushed through. My top choice was the Kimchi Dumplings with the Shrimp Dumpling coming in a close second. I wish I would have seen the fried option before ordering because I typically prefer my dumplings fried but that just means we need to come back again so I can try the full spectrum of the menu.

What I love about these Yelp events is that it challenges our tastes buds and makes us take a trip outside our zip code. Well organized, I ordered extra food to go with our 4 dumpling combo and it was ready on time. It's a 30 minute drive here but to my surprise, when I got home the food was still piping hot! I guess the cute to go boxes are actually functional too! I've never had Korean dumplings before so please know that when reading my review. The good: quick service, hot dumplings even with a commute. The dumplings are fist sized. We got two of the 4 dumplings combos for 3 people and it was plenty of food. I was a bit apprehensive trying the kimchi but the flavor was well blended with the meat. The fried meat dumplings and shrimp dumpling is where it's at. Crunchy and fatty, it was delicious. Now I'm a bit let down that the galbi dumpling was more shredded veggies and noodles than galbi. I expected a galbi filled dumpling. Even though spicy dipping sauce was provided, I was surprised that the dumplings didn't have the usual punch of flavor that most Korean dishes have. My mother loved them though. Maybe my taste buds have been muted with my sugary diet. Great place to try something new. For sure get the fried dumplings and make sure to use plenty of that hot sauce!

Seoul (capital of South Korea) ManDoo (dumplings) is locally owned by a Korean chef with over 20 years of experience. These buns are well know street food and can be steamed or deep fried. The menu is focused only on dumplings and my favorite out of the combo 4 was the shrimp. They also have a desert like Jjin Ppang with red bean paste not overly sweet. The pickled radish is also on point. The seating area is cozy and they also sell frozen packs for takeout. The counter lady is super nice and she ran out of the store made sure to give my cellphone because I left it on the seat. Overall the place has a good vibe with great service. Kamsa-Hamnida!

Great place for some yummy handmade dumplings. We tried the meat, veggie, galbi, and shrimp giant dumplings. The dough is fluffy and the filling inside is mostly all the same, it seems, with the addition of the different proteins. The fried shrimp dumplings were my favorite. We ordered our food to go and it came with a plethora of sauce and a few ramekins of yellow pickled radish. I think they even gave us an extra red bean dumpling to try. The place is small, with a few dine in tables. They have a freezer with frozen dumpling packs to take home with you. Employees are very nice. Parking lot was small and very full, but that's the only downside!

Steamed buns and dumplings, very common food in Korea and China, and Seoul ManDoo sells nothing but buns and dumplings. There are 5 flavors to choose from, kimchi, pork, veggies, Kalbi (Korean BBQ beef) and prawn which was in dumplings only. I ordered the 4 pieces combination and chose to eat in because steamed buns should be eaten steaming hot. Of the four I had, my favorite was the kalbi, very flavorful. The prawn dumpling was my least favorite, it was a bit oily. The sourness of the kimchi did come through, and it was not spicy. The restaurant is very small, only 4 tables inside that seat less than a dozen people and 2 small tables outside. I got there before 11:30, and a few minutes later customers started to pour in. The lady worked behind the counter and in the kitchen, she was very friendly.

I finally went to this 5-star dumpling place today and I COMPLETELY understand all the raves many people have given it! My experience today absolutely met my expectations! This tiny place humbly exists on the busy Havana St. However, it can easily be missed if you're just driving in the neighborhood to find a nice place to eat or take out; or unless you hear it from someone. So make sure to make a right turn onto Warren St from Havana if you are northbound and quickly turn into the shopping center on the very corner! The lady (not sure if she is the owner) welcomed me with a nice smile. I had already known what I wanted to get (I checked out their menu ahead of time): the $13 combo that comes with 4 different dumplings and 3 of them are those giant ones. It was my first visit so what else would be more suitable for a first timer like me, right?? Once my order was placed I waited outside as there was a sign at the register that says so: "Please wait outside." I wanted to comply with the restaurant rule although I wasn't sure if they were strictly enforcing it. It was a very quick service; my dumplings were ready in 5 minutes; well, I was the only customer anyway! The lady politely bowed a few times when she came out to hand me my takeout. At home, I savored each dumpling in a real sense. I didn't rush to devour to ruin this precious moment. Every dumpling was so delicious! I went to a different dumpling (specialized) place a while back but this restaurant is far superior in every single way. And what's great about this place is that it's less than 10 min away from my house!!

Maybe I'm biased because I'm Korean, but I love Korean dumplings aka ManDoo. The lady behind the register was super sweet and we talked for a while. We ordered a lot and it was all pretty good! I personally enjoyed the fried shrimp the best and my friends enjoyed the steamed veggie. Note that if you're unfamiliar with Kimchi, it was a little strong/fishy in the mandu here, but I had no problem with it. We got the 4pc combo and spicy rice cakes with cheese on top. Hack: Dip your mandoo in your spicy rice cake sauce. You won't regret it. Would recommend this place.

Gem! This place is a cultural hidden gem. There isn't a lot to choose from on the menu but that is ok because you don't need much. My husband and I enjoyed the giant dumplings and my tummy was comforted and happy. There isn't much to write about because sometime you just need a place that provides good customer service with yummy food and this is that place. The place is small, clean, and simple. There are no restrooms, parking is small, but the food is well worth the trip. Give it a go!

Thanks Seoul Mandoo for hosting the Yelp event to try your tasty Korean dumplings. You need to look for this place, but it is worth it to find these authentic dumplings. Our yelp combo #4 had 4 giant dumplings. By far, my favorite was the fried shrimp and huge stuffed shrimp, lightly battered and fried perfectly. Next were a kimchi, and 2 meat dumplings. They were all huge! Absolutely loved the dipping sauce (needed 2 of them, what can I say, I'm a dipper). I totally recommend Mandoos, and the owner is such a sweety and made us feel very welcome. Check it out!

This is such a cute little place. The interior for this restaurant is a little bit small but it's very homey and sweet. The service we got were absolutely wonderful and they made us feel very welcomed there. We chose to dine in and it was a wonderful experience. My fiance and I got the giant dumpling combo, combo 4. I was super excited to try the galbi dumpling but it wasn't all that exciting. It was good, just wasn't spectacular. I would say the same thing about the kimchi dumpling. The shrimp and meat dumpling were really tasty. It was flavorful and it was packed with protein. We also got the dok bok-gi and it was delicious. The rice cake was soft and chewy at the same time and the flavors were on point. I would recommend also getting cheese on top of it. They also have a fridge full of frozen dumplings that you could buy as well. There are also drinks and sides in the other fridge. If you are craving dumplings and want a good experience, I would recommend coming to this place.

We came here recently after seeing some posts on Instagram and getting FOMO. The location isn't huge but they do have tables inside and a couple of tables set up out front as well. We got an order of the fried shrimp dumplings and the Korean BBQ dumplings. The menu says giant but I completely underestimated how giant that meant. We way over ordered for two people and had dumplings to take home. I thought both were great and next time I go I want to try to the regular sized ones as well.

The mandoo here is amazing! It's a small spot that can sit about 10 people, but I mainly order to-go. I like the flavor of most of the mandoos with the exception of the vegetable one. My favorite is the kimchi mandoo. I would eat that all day. They also sell it frozen so you can take some home to your freezer and save it. I've always had them fresh, but one day I'll try the frozen ones. My husband and I will sometimes pick up half a dozen after we go grocery shopping at Hmart since it's right down the street so we come in pretty often.

Seoul ManDoo opened during (the first) peak Corona season, but man is it a dumpling breath of fresh air to the Denver Metro area. They serve delicious Korean dumplings (pronounced mahn-du, not MAN-do) with perfectly flavored fillings that would satisfy Korean food purists and adventurous American palates alike. It's a small shop that specializes in doing one thing really well, more like what you'd see in New York or San Francisco compared to what we're used to seeing in Denver. I think that's a big part of the charm here. This is how many Asian restaurants are in cool cities around the world, and we finally have another one here! There are only a handful of tables, but in theory, in a regular world, they would turn over quickly because the food comes out quickly, hot, and shouldn't take any normal person more than 15-20 minutes to eat. We had the four-piece giant mandoo combo, three of which came steamed (galbi, kimchee, meat) and one was fried (shrimp). They were all delicious and unique, but the shrimp with its fried exterior was the star of the show, and the galbi was a very close second. They're all delicious, and as a meal, these put a dim sum pork bun to shame. They're on a different level. While service anywhere right now isn't normal, we were warmly greeted and walked through the menu. While I'm Korean and know what's going on, I loved that they walked my wife through the options too. It's a very not intimidating way to try Korean food that isn't BBQ. This is like quick serve Korean food, and man, is it good. If Seoul ManDoo was in SF/NY/LA, there would be an hour wait to get in for these delicious dumplings. This is the kind of restaurant that we need more of in Denver, and especially because they're a new restaurant that opened during the worst possible time, I will absolutely be back to support them!

Really excited to have found this place! It's located in a small strip mall with limited parking - but I've never had an issue with parking during the trips I've made out here. The inside of the restaurant is small with just about 5 tables for seating, and a few more outside. I've always gotten my food to go. I really appreciate how concise the menu is as it makes for quick ordering and delivery of food. The owner is extremely friendly as well. They have the most user friendly to go box for carry out that keeps the buns nice and protected from being squished. Portions are super generous - I usually share the 4 bun box with my partner and it's surprising how full we get. Love this place!

This one has been on my list for a while, but it's a drive. I am very disappointed I waited so long. This place was good! Small, but decent amount of seating. I got takeout. Got the Giant Combo 2. Shrimp was delicious and a clear winner for me. I tried to decipher the two meat ones, but failed. Didn't matter though because both were delicious. Kimchi was not my fav, but was not bad. Gave me a chance to try the dipping sauce which was a great balance. All in all a very good use of $20 and extremely filling.

The dumplings were so good! So authentic and flavorful. Got dinner take out and tried the shrimp, pork, galbi, and veggie dumplings. Galbi was my favorite. The glass noodle inside was really good with the veggie/meats. Definitely unique and reminded me of homemade baos my dad made when I was growing up

WOW. I definitely see why this was rated one of Denver's top 50 restaurants by Yelp. My bf and I came here for a Yelp Elite event and got the Combo 4 (pictured), an order of jjin ppang (red bean dumpling), and an order of the steamed kimchi dumplings. The amount of food was perfect for two very hungry people and we had 3 dumplings leftover. I would order each of those things again in a heartbeat -- we both loved all of it. My favorite were the giant Kimchi dumpling and the red bean dumpling. The red bean dumpling is not too sweet but is sweet enough! I feel like dumpling dough can be very sticky and stick to the roof of your mouth or the back of your teeth but this dough for the giant dumplings is perfect. The owner was incredibly nice and grateful for our business. I feel great supporting a place when my business is appreciated. Will definitely be back. Highly recommend. Also loved that they were playing Christmas music on 11/16 -- major bonus points.

Holy Dumplings! We've never been here before so I didn't really know what to expect but wow. The Giant dumplings were HUGE! My husband and I could've shared 4 of them and been happy for lunch. The sauce is incredible, might've been my favorite part. Favorite dumplings were the Shrimp and Galbi! Definitely worth stopping by!

It was cold and rainy and warm dumplings sounded good to us. We did one of those fun things where we tried everything on the menu. A quick note you don't need to do that unless you have 20 people. The giant dumplings are big. The cook/ server was helpful in suggesting how to eat certain ones. The rice cake pasta with cheese was better than I thought and would get again. I recommend the kimchi filled ones fried. And the prices were reasonable and made it affordable to try it all.

If you've never tried Korean Dumplings before you've gotta check this out! They have so many great options to choose from. Just a warning, there's not a ton of seating here and there's no complementary water. I did the 3 Giant Dumpling Combo and shared it with a friend. Think the size of a fist! Great to share so you can try more things. Galbi Giant Dumpling - My favorite! Loved the flavors. Meat Giant Dumpling - Delicious. Not as flavorful as the galbi but still tasty. Kimchi Giant Dumpling - If you like a good spice get this one! Steamed Meet Dumpling - Loved how steamed they were. They were super filled too so it's a good bang for your buck. Spicy Rice Cake with Cheese - A must try Korean classic side! It wasn't super spicy but I loved the rice cake texture.

This strip mall gets lots of foot traffic from Sushi Katsu next door and Coffee Story on the corner. I stopped by on a Monday minutes after they opened their doors. While there was already a line outside of sushi katsu, I was the only one venturing into Seoul ManDoo. I ordered the Combo 3, which includes 3 giant steamed dumplings. I also got a 6 pc. fried kimchi. My total, with tip, was just over $20. My to go order also included some pickled daikon and the most amazing dipping sauce. The sauce was exactly what you want with dumplings; A combination of vinegar, sweet, and a little bit of spice. The soft dough of the steamed dumpling literally soaks the sauce like a sponge. I was only able to get through half of my order before I was STUFFED! All the dumplings were great! I'll definitely be back to try the ones I didn't.
