The restaurant was very busy when we arrived, but service was still smooth and swift. I wouldn't say the Korean food is particularly authentic, but it was a decent American twist on Korean cuisine and still tasty. The tteokbokki came with additional vegetables and mushrooms, and their banchan were quite good. The mandu was meaty which I appreciated too. I wouldn't come back because I didn't feel the value was quite there (very pricey) but it was still an enjoyable meal overall. The ambiance was nothing special, and I do wish the bathroom had been cleaner. read more

This is our first time visiting Washington DC, and we haven't found many great dining options near our hotel. We discovered this spot on Yelp. The moment the banchan (Korean side dishes) arrived and we took our first bites, we knew we'd stumbled upon an outstanding Korean restaurant. Every side dish is prepared authentically and tastes fantastic. Our first main dish to come out was kimchi fried rice with beef. While it isn't made using a fully traditional Korean method, it was absolutely delicious -- easily the best kimchi fried rice I've had in the past few years. We also ordered their signature pork and potato stew. It was excellent; the chili flavour was smooth, and every ingredient was wonderfully seasoned. Our server was incredibly polite and friendly, and we were happy to leave a tip for them. We plan to come back tomorrow evening, but unfortunately, our server told us they might not be working then. This Korean restaurant is highly recommended. If you're staying nearby or travelling in Washington DC, I'd strongly suggest stopping by to enjoy their wonderful Korean food. read more

My girlfriend and I were visiting Washington, DC and decided to give Mandu a try. The restaurant itself is modern, clean, and nicely decorated, making a great first impression. However, when we walked in and saw only a couple of tables occupied, I had a feeling it might not live up to its appearance. Unfortunately, that feeling turned out to be justified once we looked at the menu and tasted the food. Overall Ratings Atmosphere - 4/5 Service - 3/5 Food - 1/5 Parking - Street Parking Atmosphere - The restaurant is modern, clean, and well maintained. The dining room is attractive and comfortable, and it feels much more upscale than your average Korean restaurant. Service - Service was adequate. Nothing stood out as particularly good or bad. The staff took our order, brought out the food, and checked on us occasionally. What We Ordered - -Galbi - At over $40, this was by far the most disappointing dish of the meal. I've had galbi at countless Korean restaurants, many of which charge under $30 while delivering significantly better flavor and quality. The seasoning was noticeably different from what I'm accustomed to, and not in a good way. For the price, it felt extremely underwhelming. -Pa Jeon - Just okay. It was a standard Korean pancake that didn't stand out in any particular way. -Tofu Stew - We ordered it mild, but it was surprisingly spicy and excessively salty. The saltiness overwhelmed most of the other flavors in the dish. -Korean Fried Chicken - Unfortunately, this suffered from the same issue. The chicken itself was decent, but it was far too salty, making it difficult to enjoy. Final Thoughts - The biggest issue for me was the value. Nearly every dish felt overpriced for the quality being served, and the excessive saltiness across multiple items made the meal even more disappointing. While the restaurant looks great and has a modern atmosphere, the food simply did not justify the prices. Considering how many excellent Korean restaurants I've been to over the years, this was one of the more disappointing experiences. Unfortunately, I wouldn't return. read more

Food: I tried Gaji Bokum & Dak Jjim. They both were well seasoned and delicious. Dak jjim is a bit spicy. Just a heads up. ;) Service: I received an incorrect order by an accident, and when I went back, they fixed the mistake quickly. Staff were friendly even though I arrived there after their closing hour. Ambiance: there is a bar area, left side when entered the restaurant, and a dining area on the right. Both parts are well spaced out to have a meal comfortably. read more

I've been to Mandu a few times over the years and I'm sorry to say my most recent visit didn't hit the mark. I visited on a Friday around 6:30 PM and sat at the bar to catch the end of happy hour (Mon-Sun 5-7 PM). The bar was empty at the time, but a few other people showed up later. The dining room had a handful of tables occupied. In short, easy to get a seat. Drinks were good. I like the Somaek ($6) which is a small beer and a shot of soju. Beer ($7) was beer. We got some beef and pork mandu (dumplings) that were pretty good. 6 pieces for $10 on HH. We got two entrees, the Ddukbokgi ($28) and Yukgaejang ($29), which came with four banchan. Ddukbokgi is chewy rice cakes, gochujang, onion, and bulgogi. We thought it was only ok -- we've had better, including at Mandu in the past. Yukgaejang was a new dish for me. The menu described it as a "spicy beef stew, brisket, noodles, shiitake, bean sprouts, and egg." I expected the brisket to be sliced and recognizably brisket, but it was pulled -- it looked and tasted more like pulled pork. The dish also didn't have any noodles in it. I didn't like it. The banchan was seaweed, bean sprouts, kimchi, and cucumbers. It was okay. Service at the bar was fine. read more

I went to Mandu during their HH. Their HH assortment had the right stuff I was going for - Mandu, sliders, drinks all at affordable prices. When the food came, it was above average in my opinion. I think I wouldn't come back for their HH items but their actual entrees. What sealed the deal for me is the quality of service. It was empty when I walked in, but enjoyed conversing with the bartender and we both shared our go to places within DC. Despite the quiet environment, I'm glad I had company to talk to. read more

I didn't know much about Korean food before this spot, so I just ordered what I heard was popular ( Jajangmyeon, and chicken dumplings, and the pancakes). Everything was fantastic and made me obsessed with Korean cuisine. The dumplings were the perfect balance of fried, meaty, tender, and not too oily. The noodles were a completely new thing for my taste pallette (so many new seafood) but I really enjoyed it! read more

I've recently rediscovered this restaurant and am impressed again. The happy hour is great. We had a slider and a full assortment of mandus, steamed, fried, shrimp, meat, veg. All were delicious. They seem to specialize in an upscale Korean street food. I wasn't sure if these were American or Korean creations. The bartender assured me they were really Korean and explained their back stories. The menu is changing and evolving. Their drink selections are special and unique. The servers have always been friendly. The bar and restaurant are both comfortable and relaxing. I'm looking forward to returning again to try some of their other unique menu items. One bit of advice, this place always looks closed. I think it's the lighting. If it looks closed, just check the door. It's probably not closed. read more

Decided to try some Korean food here while visiting DC area. Unfortunately, I forgot got to take photos od the KFC appetizer and Kimchi Bokum Bap that I ordered. Both were delicious and portion size was generous. And the side dishes of cucumbers, kimchi, bean sprouts and seaweed that accompanied the main dish were great. The atmosphere here was nice, and staff friendly, attentive and helpful with my menu questions. Overall, my experience was very good. read more

There are a lot of constraints when it comes to making authentic food in DC, so I think Mandu accomplishes in bringing a lot of Korean flavors to the table. There is an elevated element to the restaurant in terms of plating and ingredient range, so this also becomes evident in the price and some of the dish choices. My concensus is that it was okay for Korean food, but one of the better restaurants for American audiences to try. Pa Jeon arrived on a sizzling plate, which wouldn't be my first choice since it's a dish where you have to cut the pancake and risk burning yourself. The pancake we received had a good seafood flavor, but there weren't a lot of indistinguishable seafood pieces to find. The overall mouthfeel of eating the pancake was a bit chewy to rubbery which enhanced the soft just-cooked batter in the middle. The choice to use sliced scallions makes the dish more akin to a familiar savoy pancake- okonomiyaki. In staying true to distinguishing this as a Korean restaurant, I would suggest cutting the scallions into matchsticks for better presentation and to liken their techniques to match Korean cuisine better. Pa Jeon is a difficult dish to pull off even though it's a common appetizer. Despite being on the sizzling plate, it was not crispy. The thickness of the pancake is a good indicator of how well the maker understands what Pa Jeon is supposed to be, where the batter is a thin, crispy, and simply fills the gap of the toppings to hold it together. Poached Pear Salad we received was very small. The poached pear, but it was waterlogged, and cut too large so it would fall to the bottom of the salad. The addition of raw daikon slices offered a crispy and fresh bite. I was interested in the unique leaf ingredients like perilla and radicchio, but it was lost since the daikon slices dominated the salad portion of the dish.The dish is topped with popped black rice, but in our case, the rice kernels were barely popped so it felt like we were just eating raw uncooked purple rice. The dressing leaned quite acidic would have likely paired better meats or heavy stews. I wouldn't suggest it to be a stand-alone salad. Yukgaejang was a favorite soup, all the toppings paired well together and the broth was thin enough to share amongst guests. The meat was tender and evidently shredded in the dish. Very comforting. And while I appreciate the overall flavor of the Gamjatang. Notably, the meat was tender and it was easy to remove the meat from the pork bones. However, the potatoes of the soup had broken down too far into the dish so it was more or less a stew, or a very flavorful paste. This is probably from the starches gradually thickening up the soup if they batch-prepared this dish. To break down the banchan, Seaweed salad was a table favorite. Seaweed can easily turn soft, but this was served cold and retained its firm texture while being well-dressed in a combination of sesame and garlic. We were told kimchi was made in house, but we received an old batch so it was quite sour. Bean sprouts were a bit too waterlogged to retain the seasonings so it seems to have sunk to the bottom, but crunch is there. Cucumbers were simply pickled, the gochugaru that coats them didn't add any spice or distinct flavor profile. Overall, these were refreshing bites to take inbetween and pair with other dishes. Our waiter was very attentive and friendly. They made sure to explain each dish and check up on our waters. The overall vibe of the restaurant is also quite great, it mixes a lot of modern pieces and fixtures so it's definitely communicated that this is an elevated Korean restaurant. read more

Cute, clean, and chic Korean venue with authentic Korean food in the heart of Washington DC. Vacationing out here with parents who came out from Korea. Let me tell you this place is a legit Korean restaurant approved by my parents We had the following three dishes: 1. Dduk Mandu guk: rice cake and dumpling soup (beef based broth) that was garnished with green onion and egg strips. This is a dish we usually have on New Year's Day. 2. Yukgaejang: spicy beef broth boiled hot with onions , green onion strips, and clear noodles. Sooo delicious. 3. Soon dobuw(spicy tofu soup: better than bcd. Spicy tofu soup with seafood. Overall a 5 across the board for food quality, portions, and service. Highly recommend this place to Korean natives looking for authentic Korean food to satisfy craving and to others that may be looking to try good Korean food. read more

Excellent food, service, and ambiance. I ordered the dolsot bibimbap, which was phenomenal. Highly recommended!

I have been here twice now, and both experiences were great. Outside of KBBQ or Korean fried chicken, I haven't really had Korean food, so I have little to compare this to. In my two visits, I have tried the Pa Jeon (seafood pancake) and KFC for appetizers and the Ddukboki and Duru jjigee for entrees. The Pa Jeon is SO GOOD, and it is big so you can definitely share it with 2-3 other people. The KFC was super crispy and flavorful. We thought it was going to be really spicy given the coloring and whatnot, but it wasnt, just packed with flavor. The Ddukboki was my favorite. Mandu was the first place I had rice cakes and I absolutely fell in love with them - theirs are still the best I have had. Chewy and just the perfect texture. The Ddukboki was fairly spicy (for me), but it was also incredibly flavorful. The bulgogi was tender and thin and went great with the sauce and rice cakes. Even the mushrooms in it were delicious. Similarly, the Duri Jjigee was yummy. The tofu was a great texture, and the pork belly was tender with great flavor. The first time I was here, I also tried the Makgeolli (a rice wine). It wasnt available the second time due to import difficulties. I didn't expect to like it, but wound up loving it. It was mild and slightly sweet and a bit carbonated. I highly recommend giving it a shot if it becomes available again. And it is definitely enough to share between 2 people (i think we each got 2ish small cups out of it). Finally, the small side dishes (banchan) that everyone gets complimentary are perfect. They were great to snack on while we waited for our mains and we're also a good palette cleanser. They helped to cut down on the spice when that built a bit too much haha. Their kimchi is amazing. I am not always a fan of kimchi, but theirs is just so fresh and crisp and vinegary. While the food was amazing, the service was even better. Our server came over quickly, was personable and helpful when we were ordering, and was just an overall delight. I will absolutely be back, and look forward to try more things. read more

I was very excited to try Mandu after reading the reviews! We made a reservation for a party 5 about a week in advance. The food was delicious. We started with some appetizers, including the KFC, assorted dumplings and the seafood pancake. Everyone especially loved the pancake. It was delicious and flavorful. The fried chicken was spicy and sweet. Everything we tried was awesome! I am also a big fan of the pickled cucumbers and bean sprouts that they bring out for everyone to share! The kimchi was great, as well. For my main, I had the Yukgaejang (spicy beef stew with noodles). It came out sizzling and I had to wait for it to cool off to eat it. It was delicious and very filling. The portions are generous. My favorite thing I tried was the Duru jjigee. It was a platter with pork, tofu, chewy rice cakes and veggies. This was the star of the show. I'm so happy we tried Mandu. The food was great! The service was attentive. There were not any long waits. It was overall 5/5. read more

Happy hour sojutinis were fantastic here! Mandu is a Korean restaurant located in DC's Chinatown. We came here for their happy hour, and we had to sit at the bar to both order and eat/drink to get the deals. The service at the bar was very good, and I think it was partly because we were the only ones seated there. We ordered the mandu, which is a plate of six dumplings with your choice of filling. We chose shrimp, and these were tasty. The other appetizer we ordered was the pa jeon, which is a seafood scallion pancake. This was sooooo good, and I wish it were bigger. For our entree, we shared the dolsot bibimbap. I felt like the ratio of ingredients was a bit off in the bibimbap. While I really enjoy vegetables, it felt like there wasn't enough rice compared to the volume of vegetables, which would be an easy fix. We shared these three dishes amongst the two of us, and we could not finish it all. The sojutinis were strong and good drinks. My friend and I both liked the yogurt sojutini the most. The aloe one tasted the strongest as the aloe flavour couldn't mask the taste of the alcohol that well. I also had the peach sojutini, which was strong as well. read more

The service was attentive and the ambiance was very warm and inviting, but the food definitely left something to be desired. The seafood pajeon was way too soft and not crispy at all, the dipping sauce made up for it, but the texture was definitely not what I was expecting. Also got the sundubu and the Korean fried chicken and both were just so mid. Works in a pinch but I think if you look around a little more you can probably find better Korean food elsewhere. read more

Another amazing meal here!! We all got sojutinis (highly recommend the yogurt flavor), and split food among the table. The fried chicken is AMAZING and we also split the beef pork pan friend dumplings, rice porridge, and then got ddukbokgi to split. Great amount of food for three people and it was delicious! Repeat visit here so we're big fans! Love the yogurt sojutini, fried chicken and would probably try some other things on next visit otherwise but those would repeat over and over again! read more

Wow, the food here is stellar. From well-crafted cocktails, exceptionally flavored crispy chicken, and some of the best Bulgogi I've ever tasted, I cannot stress how delicious the food is. Their dessert croiffle (croissant waffle) was delicious, although it was a little on the sweet side, but still superb. However, the pricing for their entrees is on the more expensive side. It's $37 for one portion of Bulgogi and even though it comes with lettuce to make wraps ("ssam") and a side of grilled veggies, the price is higher than I think it should be. I'd recommend splitting the Bulgogi between 2 people and ordering 1-2 appetizers for a satisfying meal. Their menus are all digital and publicly available on their website. The staff are all very friendly and the atmosphere is quite spacious with a unique design. The restaurant is split into two sections: a bar and a restaurant. Unfortunately, the Happy Hour deals are only offered at the bar. read more

Yo this place is absolutely poppin' so make sure you have a reservation. Me and my party of 4 arrived around 7:00 PM on a Friday night. Thankfully a table was just being cleared and we came at the right time. Our server was super kind and answered any questions we had about the menu. I loved my soondubu and was absolutely stuffed afterwards. The portions are large and you will probably have some leftovers. The only thing I wasn't crazy about was the temperature inside. It might have been because we went during the heatwave but the AC didn't feel that strong and I was just sweating sitting there. Other than that, I definitely want to come back in order to try something else on the menu. read more

A great Korean spot in DC! I managed to get a table quickly even on a Friday night. They offer happy hour from 5-7 PM. I tried the sojutini and the bibimbap. The sojutini was good, though a bit on the strong side. The bibimbap had great flavors, though it leaned more toward veggies than rice and bulgogi. The banchan was very good, and the service was solid. Overall, great experience! read more

Came to Mandu for a late night dinner and walked in around 8pm without a reservation and easily got a table. Service was extremely fast and attentive, as was getting food. We had a full dinner with drinks, apps, and dessert in a little over an hour but didn't feel at all rushed. To start we each had the green bee which is a fabulous basil forward vodka cocktail that comes in a beautiful couple style glass. The drinks is bright green and beautifully served plus it was delicious! For starters we had the steamed shrimp dumplings which were extremely tasty. It came with 6 pieces so perfect sharing size for two. For our main we each had the bibimbap which came out sizzling and was a great size! I took about half home. The bowl was hot, filling and full of flavor. It comes with a sauce but it well seasoned on its own and doesn't need the sauce. For dessert we had the "croiffel" which is a croissant that has been put in thr waffle iron I presume. It was served with a light banana creme and strawberries. It was a very fresh dessert and not too sweet, felt more like breakfast. The vibe is very cozy and chill. This is a great place for a meal on your own or with a friend. Service is fast and friendly. I can't wait to come back to try some of their bar-only food options. read more

Excellent Korean restaurant in the heart of DC. Can you find better Korean food in the suburbs of the DMV? (Think Annandale, Ellicott City) No doubt. But for the location this is a hidden gem. I will also say Gamjatang (pork bone soup) is not a common item on most Korean restaurant menus, even in very authentic Korean restaurants in the suburbs, so savor it here. (If anyone knows of another spot, I'm all ears.) Yes it is pricey. Yes it is a little bougier than your typical mom and pop Korean restaurant and a little smaller than your bustling Kbbq joint. But come here for the Gamjatang and you will be dreaming of your next visit before you leave. read more

Staff was very polite and helpful. We ordered three different appetizers because they all sounded so yummy, and they were! The Korean Fried Chicken had a sweet and spicy sauce but it really wasn't too spicy at all. The seafood pancake ended up being a little spicy, and it had a perfectly crunchy texture! The mandu dumplings were also a great choice, we ordered beef & pork and steamed. For our entrees, we ordered a variety of food and I had the bibimbap.

REVIEW OF HAPPY HOUR AND SPECIAL EVENT I learned about the pop up Korean street food event from a page I follow on Instagram. I intended to get here right at 5, but metro rail had other plans. The egg dish was arguably the hottest eggs I've ever eaten. I also had the sushi dish, gimbap, but I was so full after eating the eggs that I had to ask for a to go box and just finished the gimbap for dinner tonight. Next time this pop up is offered I will try the sotteok. I also enjoyed the soju infusion cocktail. So this is a good place to enjoy happy hour or after an event at the convention center nearby. read more

Very solid Korean food, especially for the area, which is lacking in Korean cuisine. The prices are on the higher side, but the portions are at least larger than normal portions at other Korean restaurants. I've visited twice now - first time I ordered soondubu, and the second time dduk mandu guk. Both were delicious, hearty, and satisfying. I love their banchan as well!

A great Korean place in DC! It probably isn't the most authentic, but they have great vegetarian options! They can make almost everything on their menu vegetarian as well! Got a sojutini, which was good! They have lots of flavors, but decided on mango! We also go the cauliflower as an appetizer which was delicious! We got the jap Chae, also vegetarian, which was good. It just needed something else sauce wise or something. We also got the Tteokbokki, which was great and they also made it vegetarian with some tofu in it! I've never had it with tofu before, I would recommend it!! Overall, a solid Korean place! Parking in the area is a little difficult, but we found some, paid, a couple blocks away.

Overall good food and I would come back again. We didn't make a reservation for a Saturday night and we got seated quickly. I ordered the soon doobu and the donut for dessert. The soon doobu was good. It wasn't anything amazing but it had good flavor. I wish it had a richer broth and more seafood but overall good tasting. The donut was just an average fried donut with fruit sauce. I don't know what I was expecting but just don't get it, it's nothing special. Now the real stars of the show are the side dishes. These were EXCELLENT. They were some of the best tasting Korean side dishes I've had. So much flavor and so delicious. I'd come back just to get the side dishes. Service was good.
