The Mandoo 더 만두 晨笙饺馆

Inside of the dumpling, ingredients was so FRESH.

But, as I'm korean little disappointed outter layer it's call "피" the flour rap.

Korean style is thinner then the way this place made.
But, 100% handmade.
So price is little higher.
( but, don't mind pay extra. If I get fresh homemade style)

If you are looking for thin flour rapped 만두 , this is not a place to go.

Fresh made dumplings. Dumpling skin were thin, soft and chewy.

Malatang was also great!

This place is really good! Their soup dumplings are amazing, we also had the spicy chewy noodles which were good as well! Definitely will be back!😁

Just like the name of this restaurant, “The Mandoo”, this restaurant serves a large selection if dumplings (or mandoo) which are all equally delicious. Although the name of this restaurant is “The Mandoo”, their noodles are just as good as their mandoo. I got their “spicy rice noodles” which is quite spicy, but the pain is just so worth it. The rice noodles are chewy, there are so many ingredients, and most importantly, the dish is delicious. This place makes me feel at home and every dish feels like is was created with love. 10/10, would recommend.

I found out about this restaurant, The Mandoo, from a Facebook group that I follow. And since I love dumplings, I decided to bookmark them and made plans to go the next day to check them out. This restaurant is a mix of Korean and Chinese since the owners are Korean but hail from China. Obviously, they specialize in dumplings (hence the name), but the menu offers other items like ramen and spicy cucumbers, just to name a few.

They are located on busy Northern Blvd, next to the parking lot of the big supermarket. The restaurant inside is super cute, very clean, with plenty of tables, and bar seating on one side.

We ordered soup dumplings, pan fried pork buns, snowflake dumplings and popcorn chicken. The soup dumplings were thin skinned with a light broth. Not as flavorful as I’m used to but tasty nonetheless and felt more like homestyle cooking. The pan-fried pork buns were delicious. The bread was fluffy and pillowy while the filling was very juicy, almost like a soup dumpling. It was so good and at six pieces per order, was very filling.

The snowflake dumplings were packed with pork, scallions, and leeks. These were pan fried and came with excellent dipping sauce. The popcorn chicken was deep fried with pieces of basil. This is where you clearly saw the Chinese influence in the menu. It tasted very good, but I thought it could have used some more heat/spice. The pumpkin cakes were deep fried and tab bit oily. These are best eaten as soon as possible.

The ladies working the day we went were so incredibly nice. It was so sweet of them to also include in our order some complimentary Kkwabaegi or twisted Korean donuts as well as two pieces of chive and egg mandoo. I didn’t even see these items on the menu, so it was a really nice surprise.
