Im a big fan of dumplings! Its my first time trying Korean dumplings and I really loved it! Lots of different variety of dumplings with different fillings. No pictures because we were too eager to eat them all! Would definitely be coming back!
i was really disappointed after leaving this place (a week ago) i was craving dumplings and this place had great reviews. me and my 2 girlfriends came in and sat basically on 1 table because the tables were big and we felt far away from eachother. there was only one other group in the restaurant.there was only 1 lady on the floor and she didnt even greet us when we came in. we were basically pestered into ordering, after asking for 2 minutes to decide, she walked away and returned in legit 10 seconds. we ended up quickly deciding on fried and steamed pork dumplings.- also the water is disgusting, idk what it is but we couldnt drink ita korean family of 3 walked in and the lady immediately greeted them with smiles and conversation. she came over to our table and MOVED US into another small table to seat the GROUP OF 3 right next to us and moved our previous table over… WHY?we couldnt help but feel discriminated against, the waiter seemed to not want to serve us. we quickly left the place not recieving any response even after we thanked them.i have never left a restaurant feeling such disappointment, the steam dumplings were good and the fried was great. although the dumplings were great, i dont think i would be returning… maybe my experience wouldve been better if i was korean.
3.5/5Let’s talk about mandu, Korean dumplings, which have tofu, sesame oil, and sometimes sweet potato noodles in their fillings. The mandoocaters not only dumplings, but also bun dumplings (or buns), and my favorite buns happen to be the BBQ pork galbi. Here, you can enjoy your mandu(s) and bun(s) alone, or pair it with hot and cold noodles. I’ve tried cold noodles in different Korean restaurants but the ones here are the best so far. I also enjoy watching the ‘ahjussi’ skillfully kneading the dough and flattening them into tiny mandu wraps.The place is so small so it’s a challenge when you come as a big group or when you’re too hungry for the line. But just keep in mind that service is hit-and-miss, so you can politely prompt the waitress if you dumplings don’t arrive within 15 minutes or so. When I seek my Korean friends’ opinions about this place, the majority of them would tell me to go to Korea to try the REAL mandu. Maybe I would change my mind, only if I have a chance to visit Korea.
Just incase you’re not familiar with Korean language, Mandoo means ‘dumpling’ in Korean. This is the only place in Sydney where you can have the freshest and delicious Korean dumplings. There are Korean dumplings you can buy from the Asian grocery stores but they’re best left in the fridge, forever. If you order the combination (All 6 Flavours Dumpling Sampler) Mandoo (see the photo) you get to try all the flavours. Kimchi, BBQ Galbi pork and prawn with pork are my recommendation. Make sure you consume the Kimchi with Pork Mandoo first so that your friend doesn’t steal it off your hands. I give this place 5 bears for Mandoo. Instagram: @hungrrryteddy
Hands down the best dumpling place! Loved every single dumpling we ordered! The workers can come off as rude – cause it is soo busy – but honestly, the dumplings are soo delicious that you wont be able to resist not coming back!My favourites were definitely the kimchi, pork bun and the prawn dumplings! They were soo good! Soo flavourful! And surprisingly, the sizes are quite big! We ate all this between the 3 of us and we were full! Prices are reasonable, 5-6 big dumpling pieces for about $12. Service is fairly quick! They have limited indoor seating. Highly recommend this place and will definitely come back!!!
