This Korean-Mexican fusion restaurant had me and my friends overestimating how much we could eat even before we ordered... which is to say the food looks temptingly delicious AND it's a high recommend! We got here on a Friday night around 6pm and it wasn't busy at all. Inside is extremely casual with the carpet floors and bright lights closer to the counter. It's a place I can see getting full at peak hours given the limited seating inside. Parking for this place is relatively easy to find; the parking lot was big and virtually empty when I got there. You order up at a kiosk at the register, and after that things are hands-off with the napkins, sauces, utensils and water. The servers then bring your food to your table and you can enjoy from there. Menu consists of regular Korean dishes, mandus (Korean dumplings) and Korean-inspired burritos. We got plenty of stuff: - The pan-fried mandus (pork, veggies, tofu, glass noodles) were pan-fried just right with enough burn marks to satisfy my appetite here. The provided sauce was definitely better than just having plain soy sauce. Regular pan=fried dumplings but I love them! - The meat lover's fries had spicy pork and bulgogi beef along with cheese. It made the plain fries so much better! - The Korean sweet & spicy chicken wings were pretty small but they packed a lot of spice and flavor. - The real winner here was the bulgogi steak burrito, which had a lot of bulgogi meat, cheese, cilantro, white rice and other things all wrapped in a burrito wrapping. This by itself was larger than I thought and took up the bulk of my meal. I would advise not to get as many things as my friends and I did if you get this. It's packed with flavor, very delicious and also very big for $12.99. It was so much bulgogi meat in one meal but this was one of the best things I've had in a while! read more

1/15/2026 4pm Dinner, came here to check out this place. We got confused with the name. We were looking for Mandy-ya but the address shows GOGI ON THE GO. We had to call them to verified that it was really Mandu. Anyways, this review is based on what we ordered ‼FOOD: (5*)corn cheese mandu-(delicious) (2*)shrimp & pork dumplings ----dumpling dough is too wet and falling apart while eating (0*)kimchi fried rice ---- this doesn't taste like there's any kimchi at all. Meat looks dark and scary. (2*)Sweet & spicy Korean chicken wings ---- too sweet, can't even taste the chicken, coated with too much sauce (5*)Regular fries .. this was ok ‼SERVICE: Not very customer friendly No engagement with the customers ‼AMBIANCE The ambiance features a tasteful blend of Asian artistic elements, with no Mexican influences. The modern decor includes a self-service ordering kiosk at each table. Very convenient to order food quickly I think this place is very confusing with thier name and food. Lots of parking spaces No healthy options at all Mostly, fast food Food came out quick though I will definitely not be returning at all‼ read more

*** this is actually called "Gogi on the Go" now. We were so confused be cause we mapped Mandu-Ya and we saw no signage for the restaurant but we read the description saying Korean/Mexican fusion so decided to walk in. We asked the employee about it and she said that they merged. Not sure why both Yelp pages exist but they do and the address is accurate for both. Anyway I got the "Kimchi madness" and it was delicious. The burrito was huge but also actually spicy! I enjoyed it! I would definitely come back and try another burrito. I enjoy the option of spicy pork or beef bulgogi as choice of meat in these burritos. I had the bulgogi beef and it was very flavorful, a little salty for me but I am very sensitive to salt so most would not agree with me. the whole mexican korean fusion is just korean flavors on mexican food... so do not expect mexican. i.e tacos but with bulgogi beef or burritos with kimchi, japchae or spicy pork quesadillas. there is no asada or birria or al pastor, but there are tacos burritos, loaded fries, and quesadillas. It is more of a fast food feel as far as small seating and concept of ordering (go to counter and sit down or take it to go), but food will still take about 15 mins as it would a sit down restaurant with this style of food. We ordered, walked across the street to h mart and 85degrees and went back. The ambiance is hip modern but i don't remember it being loud or anything. read more

I made a takeout order on DoorDash for this place to try it out as I have had this place bookmarked from when they first opened. I got the shrimp and pork mandu and it took only a couple minutes for me to come pick it up. As I entered, no one really greeted me and it wasn't until I started walking to the counter that I saw two employees sitting behind the cashier. I didn't even see them until they stood up. I didn't receive any greetings or anything but just a curt, "Pick up?" and I told them it was a DoorDash order. They just promptly gave me my bag and didn't say much else. The inside is can easily seat a couple tables of four or less but they also have a huge table in the middle with several chairs on a very long table. There is a lack of decorations and they have several big screens just depicting some of their menu items but nothing else to really note. The mandu was great though! The dipping sauce was delicious with the dumplings and I love the amount of ingredients inside the mandu. It was definitely worth the price. I don't know if I'll be back though as they are very overpriced in their entrees. I know I do want to try Gogi on the Go (their sister brand) which is served here on Mondays through Thursdays, but the service was very unwelcoming and awkward. read more

Mandu-Ya - Shrimp & Pork Dumplings (take out) - Korean Near Me - Federal Way, Washington

This was a small local place and they were friendly and made your food fresh, on the spot. Environment: it looked like an area that's fast food, though that's kind of the case, they don't rush you. It's small and the menu is a big touch screen for you to order on your own so you don't really need to chat with anyone unless you have a question. Staff: they give your food right away and are very kind as they greet you. Food: We ordered fried mandu and they were huge! Piping hot when we got it and it was flavorful and crispy. The steamed mandu were just as good and they give you a little chilli oil sauce to go with it and it was good. Both of the dishes look like it may not be enough for my friend and I but it was filling and very good. I am not sure about the price because my friend treated me but I the mandu ranged from $7-9. They had other dishes and also fusion foods such as Mexican and Korean food combined. read more

Mandu-Ya - Korean Near Me - Federal Way, Washington

I went here for a relatively quick and casual meal and pricing and food quality are high up there. I went here closer to 6pm and it was not busy at all. You order at the front and take a seat anywhere. When the food is ready, they deliver to you, but you get your own water, etc and bus your own table. I personally ordered the hot flavored mandu as it has a more unique combination of ingredients compared to the standard fried or boiled mandu. Mandu is Korean dumplings, and this one has pork and vegetables with buldak sauce, mayo, and green onion. Buldak sauce is a pretty popular sauce that is from the buldak ramen (hot chicken flavor ramen) so it has a spicy kick to it. After all, this is "hot" for a reason. The mandu is deep fried and packs a lot of flavor. For the price of about $14 after tax for 6 pieces, this is a fair price and I was fairly stuffed at the end. read more

Mandu-Ya - Hot Flavored Mandu - IG @bougiefoodieboi - Korean Near Me - Federal Way, Washington

I came here with my friend and I always wanted to try this place. It's my friend's first time trying Korean food. It is definitely a good start for her. When we first walked in, you have to order first before finding your seat. We got corn cheese Mandu, veggie and pork Mandu, rice cake with cheese and Japchae with beef. Everything seasoned so well. I personally love the corn cheese Mandu, it's crispy with the sweetness of the corn. Everything tasted so well! It's definitely a must get for each item. The whole place was quiet because there weren't many people there. Everything is pretty much self serve, but they will bring the food out to you. read more

Food was great. A bit pricey for the items I got, but over all delicious. Service was great. You order at the counter, if you're eating in, they bring you the order. The lady was kind and patient with us. The setting is like any mom n pop shop. Tables were clean, you leave your dishes on top of the trash can when you leave. I would comeback on a payday! read more

We stopped in based on the recommendation of the Federal Way Foodie on the way from Angle Lake to Tacoma. The place was empty so seating was super quick! Service was friendly and fast and we ordered the kimchi fries, japchae, some pork and veggie mandu, and some shrimp and pork mandu. We accompanied that with two hot teas and a Diet Coke (of course). Everything looked so good that it was hard to choose. Everything was good! The kimchi fries were crispy and covered with lots of goodies. We loved them. Both mandu were very tasty and appropriately large (K dumplings ). The japchae was flavorful and perfectly done. I would recommend Mandu-Ya! It's a great place to grab some mandu and the kimchi fries are freakin' awesome! read more

Mandu-Ya - Pork and veggie mandu - Korean Near Me - Federal Way, Washington

I kept seeing videos of people eating at Mandu-Ya and I had to try. We went on a whim on Saturday night at around 5:30pm and there were only two other groups besides ours there. The store is a little bit hidden but we were able to get to it using Maps. For dumplings we ordered the shrimp and pork, kimchi and pork, and corn cheese. We also got tteokboki. The dumplings had a lot of filling and it seemed as though they were made with love. The kimchi and pork definitely was packed with flavor. The corn cheese dumpling stood out to me the most as it was very unique! I felt like I could eat so many of those. Definitely recommend getting the corn cheese dumplings if you come here. I felt like the prices for the dumplings are expensive for what they give you. The dumplings range from $13-17 for 6-7 pieces. I don't think that would stop me from coming back though, but it was a little surprising seeing the cost. Overall it was a cute, chill restaurant and I think I will be visiting again whenever I crave dumplings. read more

I was super intrigued by Mandu-Ya's Mexican-Korean fusion menu when I saw an Instagram video on them. My fiancé also has been raving about their food, so it was about time I head over to try! We ordered the hot flavored fries ($15) and the k-steak quesadilla ($15) to-go through the self ordering iPad. They had our food ready in less than 15 minutes, and we were excited to dig in when we got home. The fries were soooo flavorful with the sauces. The fries themselves were crispy, and the meat was marinated and cooked well. I would definitely get this again. I was a bit disappointed that the quesadilla did not come with nacho cheese and spicy mayo like advertised. Unfortunately, I didn't realize this until we got home. Regardless, I felt like the quesadilla itself was solid - very cheesy and the meat was cooked until it was tender. It was just missing the sauces, which would have made it even more delicious! read more

Mandu-Ya - Hot Flavored Fries & K-Steak Quesadilla - Korean Near Me - Federal Way, Washington

There was a Korean fusion menu on top of their regular menu! For dumplings we had their kimchi and pork dumplings (pork, kimchi, veggies, tofu, & glass noodles...one of us liked it a lot, the other said it was too much kimchi which made me personally not try them b/c Im not a big fan of kimchi), bulgogi dumplings (freaking yum! beef bulgogi with glass noodles, veggies, and tofu were a delicious combo), and pork and veggie dumplings (pork veggies and tofu were a juice tasty combo). We also ordered the corn cheese mandu, which is their version of korean corn cheese...in a little empanada. #nomnomnom #corncheeseheaven we are on #teamcorncheese, so we may be biased! Lastly, I was super surprised that I liked my couple of handful of bites of the kimchi fried rice. As you know, Im not a kimchi fan. I'd definitely order AND eat it again. On the fusion side, We tried the bulgogi tacos... the bulgogi, carrots, cabbage, grilled onions, cilantro, and a splash of spicy mayo on the corn tortilla was a fun combo in my mouth. My tastebuds were super happy! It's an excellent fusion! #FoodieLife #Foodie #foodiejourney #ManduYa #FoodieFamily #ARestaurantADay #supportlocalbusiness #supportsmallbusiness #LocalEats #FederalWayLocalEats #FederalWayKoreanFood #FederalWayKoreanDumplings #KoreanDumplingHouse #FoodPorn #RealFoodReviewFromRealPeople #IDontGetPaidForMyReview #ILoveDumplings #ILoveRealDumplings #ILoveFilledDumplings #DumplingsThatArentFilledArentDumplings ;) You can't change my mind.

Mandu-Ya had delicious food! It was self order, but they also had an option to order through a server. They also had self seating and self serve water station. The dumplings had a lot of filling and were juicy. Portions very generous, I left feeling satisfied and full. My favorite was the Kimchi and Pork dumplings! Would definitely come back if I'm in the area! read more

This is a fast food Korean restaurant. Service was appropriately fast. The setting was typical for a fast food place. You order and pay at the counter but the food is brought to your table. We thought the dumplings we ordered were very good--large, crisp, hot, and tasty. But the jap chae was very salty/soy saucey and the noodles were too soft. Would try again for the dumplings. read more

I wanted to treat myself this evening so after looking at Yelp with restaurants that have dumplings, I settled on Mandu-Ya. It was a little on the pricier side (3 orders of Mandu/dumplings) came to $50 but I anticipated the price tag after seeing the other reviews. I think I have a different idea of what dumplings are supposed to be but I've also never heard of Mandu. Honestly Mandu reminds me of a fried egg roll wrapped in a empanada form. The corn cheddar Mandy's were excellent. Hot, crispy and unique. The corn was definitely canned corn but I like the taste of canned corn. The cheese was stretchy gooey as soon as you bit in. I love that stretch. The flavored sour cream drizzle on top really heightened the taste. It was a wonderful little Mandu. 8 out of 10 The shrimp & pork dumplings are more like what I envisioned. I liked how they had the shrimp tail stick out. Visually appealing. They were steamed and still hot when I picked them up. The shrimp flavor was a little overpowering for me, you can't really taste the pork. (But I think this means the ingredients were fresh.) And the overall filling fell short for me. It needed more spices in the filling. I would rate these a 6 out of 10. The Hot Flavored Mandu were quite tasty. 9 out of 10. I loved the spicy sriracha drizzle on top. Fried to perfection. The filling was pork and vegetables and it was seasoned well. (Or maybe the introduction of the sriracha drizzle added a spicy sweetness to the overall crunchy bite.) My husband also loved these best as well. Little messy but so worth it. I definitely recommend eating these mandus when they're hot and crispy. Perhaps your air fryer could heat these up perfectly. Service was excellent and they were ready within 15min. Friendly staff! read more

Came here for the 1st time last night. Great atmosphere and exceptional food. Service was great.

I'll give them 3.5-stars. The best dishes were Kimchee fried rice & corn cheese mandu. Everything else was just ok, prob will not order again. Pan fried mandu was disappointing especially since it was $16. We paid $140 w/tip....Little pricy for what we got. read more

I can't wait to go back! After coming back from Korea just a few weeks ago, and missing the mandu that I used to make with my grandma, we decided to try out this fairly new spot. Let me tell you, when they say handmade dumplings, it is 100% handmade. Everything was so tasty and perfectly cooked. The staff is friendly and service was great. We had the pork/vegetable, kimchi, and shrimp/pork/vegetable mandu, and an order of wings. The wings were perfectly sauced and crispy. We also got the knife cut noodles (spicy seafood), which was also really good. Looking forward to eating here again soon! read more

I was excited to try this place out since it was a recommended location by a friend. I didn't find the food to be extraordinary though like people say.. the lunch special was good but the katsu I got was super hard and dry. The fried rice was good and flavorful. The rest was just ok. Portion size for lunch special is good. The pork and veggie dumplings nothing special. I did like the fried Mandu with corn and cheese though. You only get one side of radish that isn't great and tasted packaged. Overall, I don't think I'll be back; place was kinda stingy with utensils, sides, and napkins.. def overly hyped. It saddens me to write that since it seems like its a family own location. read more

Decent korean dumpling shop. I came on a Saturday at 6pm and they were sold out of 3 of the dumpling types. Forced out of my preferred choices, I ended up getting the pork and shrimp steamed dumpling which was disappointing in size and taste for how much they cost. The mandoogook was great, came with a full bowl of dumplings and refreshing broth. Service was good, but it was clear they were understaffed. Ambiance is casual, and the seating isn't the most comfortable. read more

Quality food reasonably priced, kind and friendly staff! Highly recommended. My wife and I had dinner at Mandu-Ya tonight and were impressed with the quality of our meals. The dumplings were large and good. Japchae beef was our favorite the Bulgogi beef bowl was also great. We have visited Korea a number of times (12 hour layovers) so have a good idea how it's prepared in country. Our meals were prepared quickly. It was near their closing time so only one other family were there. read more

We've been meaning to try this place for ages...we should not have waited so long! It's a small shop and kind of off the beaten path in FW- seems like a lot of their business is takeout and delivery orders, but we ate in. Had 3 bulgogi items: burrito, mandu and tacos- all were delicious and made to order. My burrito was huge- I was only able to eat half, the other half will be lunch tomorrow. Next time, we'll be sure to mix things up a bit and try some of their other offerings. So glad that FW has such a vast array of wonderful spots for great food!! read more

Cute little place that I found on yelp! It was pretty crowded. We ordered 2 different dumplings, corn n cheese and pork and veggie, Kim chee fried rice and dumpling soup.

Would I come back yes cause I need to try the chop chae dumplings!! read more

I LOVE DUMPLINGS and mandu-ya lives up to its name and does them SO WELL. came across this place in the midst of a huge steamed dumpling craving and was so so so satisfied by their perfect kimchi mandu. We also got the lunch combo (spicy pork, fried rice, 2 fried dumplings) which was also a great portion size and so delicious. The service was amazing and our server was so kind/attentive/friendly/consistently refilled our tea for us!! Truly enjoyed this little mandu place and I hope many others get to try :) read more

Alright listen here...the Fried Hot Flavored Mandu is WHERE IT IS AT. So good, so crispy, and so spicy. What more could you ask for? If you don't like crispy and spicy then might I suggest the bulgogi bowl (good in its own regard but equally as filling of course). I haven't tried their other dumpings but I'm sure they taste the same -just steamed and not spicy -which like, come on, is the only reason I'm here. Solid place for food! I'd recommend. read more

We went there on opening day, and the staff was very welcoming and friendly. We sat down and were greeted immediately with menus. We ordered our food and quickly to our surprise we received our food orders very fast. The only downside was the food was mediocre and didn't really give much flavor. Not bad. Just wasn't as good as we had hoped. I will attribute most of this, just because it was grand opening day, until I am sure that they were experiencing some grand opening jitters. read more

I had the pleasure of visiting ManduYa on its grand opening day (July 1, 2023), and I was absolutely blown away. The service was impeccable, the ambiance was warm and inviting, and the food was simply amazing. We ordered the Pan Fried Mandu, Corn Cheese Mandu, Japchae, and Kimchee Fried Rice. Out of all the dishes we ordered, the corn cheese mandu won me over. It was unique and something I've never had before, 10/10 would reccommend. Our dishes also came with this onion and jalapeno concoction which on its own, was very good. Overall, our experience at ManduYa was absolutely outstanding. The food was incredible, the service was excellent, and the ambiance was perfect. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a delicious and memorable dining experience. read more

One of the best Asian fusion restaurants in the greater Seattle area. Our party had a different variety of items off of their menu and every single thing was incredibly delicious.

My partner left her purse in the restaurant and we didn't realize for 30 minutes after we left. I called the restaurant and spoke with one of the staff. They had already secured the purse and we ended up picking it up several hours later. 10/10 food. 11/10 staff. Gotta try this place!!!! read more
