FROM OTHER DINERS
Mandujip was exactly the kind of comfort food you want after a long day. The mandu were huge, filled generously, and tasted homemade with a chewy wrapper and juicy filling. The broth was clean and soothing without being too heavy, making the whole bowl feel incredibly comforting
The food is good but for the price? It’s not worth it in my view. So many other good mandus and mungbean pancakes out there in Korea at a fraction of the price.
Zero ambience busy staff 20 minute wait at lunch BUT the mandu reminds me of home. North Korean mandus are not for everyone less meaty more veggie/tofu, thicker skin mild flavors. I prefer them and could eat 20! The standard dish has 6 in hot water (not broth) so if really hungry
