My kids love shrimp dumplings! Super yummy! Filled with finely chopped vegetables, so they have a nice texture. I especially like the food here because it's homemade and doesn't contain any preservatives. Good for health! read more

Mandu are dumplings in Korean cuisine. Mandu can be steamed, boiled, pan-fried, or deep-fried. This joint serves them steamed but you can always buy some for home to cook it your way. The ingredients including veggies meat and wood mushroom are so fresh and pair with the thin skin make it a winning combo. Enjoy read more

Pork dumpling hit the spot! I needed some spice to go with it though and found some sauce at home. But with the spice this just hit the spot, beautifully made skins and fresh tasting dumplings read more

This Dumpling place was my frequent place to pickup dumplings on the go, several years ago. It was a nice surprise it's still in business. On my recent visit, noticed interior and owners changed. New owners were very friendly and nice. Also the interior was simple and clean which I loved. I was even more surprised that the dumpling was better than I remembered. I tried Shrimp dumpling and it was so good. They added special white sauce on the side along with usual soy sauce. It was a nice touch. I definitely recommend it to anyone who wants dumpling take out. And I will try everything on their menu. read more

Mannane - a plate of dumplings and a bowl of sauce - Korean Near Me - Fort Lee, New Jersey

I got dumplings here, but i realized that they use unsold dumplings the next day. some of my dumplings are obvious, some are dried up and soggied then reheated. the pictures says it all. if anyone else sees a dumpling with a texture you see on the top end of the picture, avoid this place. the dumplings in the bottom shows that there is still moisture in them, while the ones on the top shows that it's been dehydrated then reheated by microwave. there is no other explanation for a dumpling to be blown up like that. read more

Mannane - the bottom ones are fresh, the dumpling on the top is old, it's at least a day old. - Korean Near Me - Fort Lee, New Jersey

We've been here twice now and expect to making more visits in the future. In terms of presentation, it's a fairly standard takeout place with no a single table but otherwise no real dine-in options. When you come in, there are fresh dumplings, pork buns, and other fresh items that they've prepared for the day. You come in, grab the pre-packaged items you want, and then they ask you if you'd like to have them steamed. This will add about another 5 minutes to your wait, but is worth it if you plan on eating it right when you get home. This latest time I went with my parents who are very picky eaters and they were highly satisfied with the food. The shrimp dumplings (which come with a special wasabi dipping sauce) and the mini pork buns were their favorites. The quality of the service is really great too. There's parking available and they're next to a major highway, which makes for a convenient location. read more

Such a cute place! The inside is very clean, and the host at the counter was super nice! We picked out the beef and chives dumplings and the kimchi pork dumplings, and the host helped us select a dipping sauce too (we picked the spicy one!). They offered to steam the dumplings for us, which was super nice so we got to eat them pretty soon afterwards. The dumplings themselves were so soft and full of very delicious stuffing ! It really did taste like I was eating someone's mom's cooking LOL, highly recommend! $26 for 20 dumplings and a drink was def worth it here! read more

Tried the different frozen dumplings and they were all delicious! My favorite had to be the pork and kimchi

Being a Korean native from Korea and having recently moved to NJ, I have been on the hunt for an exceptional mandoo (dumpling) spot, and Mannane has truly been a haven for me! Their dumplings have an unparalleled flavor and freshness, and the cleanliness of the place is remarkable. On top of that, the owners are incredibly kind and sweet. Cheers to Mannane for making my dumpling dreams come true! read more

I've been here multiple times to takeout dumplings and have always been super happy with the food and the service. I've gotten the vegetable dumplings, pork dumplings, shrimp dumplings, pork buns, and red bean buns. They will heat up your food for you quickly if you'd like. The man behind the counter is always so kind and friendly. Great parking available for picking up your food. read more

We bought beef/chive and veggie dumplings. The dumplings were very fresh and delicious. The price is fair too. A person at the counter was friendly and helpful. Parking is easy and the place is very clean. Our new favorite place for dumplings read more

Really yummy dumplings. The first time we visited, we got samples. We ended buying the steamed ones - shrimp, beef and chives, and kimchi. We liked the shrimp the most. The steamed ones come with their sauces, utensils, and you can eat them immediately. We like to get the frozen ones because they're more cost effective. Extensive hours M-Sat. Closed on Sunday. read more

Picked up a big pack of frozen kimchi mandu to steam and eat at home. I've heard so many good things about this place and the reviews were all raving about the kimchi mandu... Idk why but the kimchi mandu we received just fell below expectations. Hopefully it was just the mandu we got that was funky, but the kimchi flavor was VERY over-fermented. It tasted a bit sour. Kimchi does have its own unique taste but it was too tangy to eat comfortably or in large amounts. read more

Mannane - Kimchi - Korean Near Me - Fort Lee, New Jersey

Very nice people and very good dumpling skins but sadly they just weren't that tasty.

Some of the best dumplings I've had. While they have prepared food, I love that they have the option to take home bags of frozen dumplings. There were so many different choices for dumplings, my family enjoys the shrimp and the kimchi dumplings with their special homemade sauce. We will definitely be coming back for more. read more

I wish this place had consulted someone about the name of their store, because it is kind of silly, but MAN- their dumplings are soooo delicious. All they "serve" (take out only) is dumplings, the huge ones that are the size of your head (King dumplings), they have the standard kinds, steamed, deep fried, pan fried, in a few assorted varieties (kimchi, veggie, pork, shrimp, etc.) The entire place is clean clean clean! The women making the dumplings are clearly visible, and the counter old man is super friendly and will tell you the best ways to steam/boil the dumpling treasures. There are no tables, no seats, it is take out only - they have frozen ones boxed up and ready for you. Make a quick stop in, for $10 - 30 pieces of "mama made" dumpling goodness. read more

Mannane - Horrible pic of half the menu.. Darn. - Korean Near Me - Fort Lee, New Jersey

This is a legit spot for dumplings. Like Desiree D. said, this is a pick up place. They have Kimchi, Veggie, Pork, dumplings for $7-$9, freshly made that day. They also have refrigerated drinks in case you need something to wash down your dumplings. I'm not a huge fan of dumplings, but I picked up a package of Red Bean buns? 4 for $6, not too bad. And they were quite delish, not sweet, fluffy, and soft. Yum. This was one of the places that I went to on our adventures in K-Town North Jersey. And I enjoyed my visit! read more

Dumplings, dumplings and yes, dumplings! Dropped by to check this place out prior to the holidays because dumplings are perfect for almost any occasion. Tried the pork dumplings and also the bao. Really tasty! The owner was super nice and took a lot of pride in his food. I selected my choices from the counter and he asked if I wanted them steamed. Presentation was very nice. They experiment with different sauces and he suggested I try the wasabi. It was very good ... creamy with that good wasabi kick! I will definitely be heading back here for the holidays .... maybe I will try and pass them off as home made (hehehehehe). read more

My favorite Korean style dumplings ! Very reluctant to share this place with everyone since it means less dumplings for me. I have tried different flavors and I preferred the kimchi with pork and shrimp dumplings. However, everything is tasty and has a clean, home-made taste. The tough thing is they close at 8pm, so sometimes I don't make it in time. They also sell frozen dumplings in their own fancy store bag, which are just as tasty, boiled, steamed or even pan fried. Their kimchi with pork dumplings are amazing pan-fried and served with a side of vinegar. It's not a sit down restaurant, just grab and go. Besides soy sauce, they also have a wasabi sauce, which is super addictive. read more

Very clean operation. You can see all the old korean ladies vigorously making hundreds of thousands of dumplings in the big open room. The dumplings are pretty good. Not as big of a KING dumpling as i would like. But you get 6 medium sized king dumpling 5$ for kimchi. 8$ for the pork. They are both very good. see my pics read more

Hands down one of the best korean dumpling place I have ever visited in east coast. Tastes like mandoo you make and eat during big family gatherings. I would really recommend pork and kimchi mandoo. Sooooo goood. read more

This dumpling is the best dumpling i've ever tried. I'm Korean and know which dumpling has fresh ingredients or not. I believe they use really fresh ingredients. I love beef, pork, and shrimp the most, can't choose only one among them. I recently tried Japchaw mandoo as well, and if you try this one with tteokbokki, that's the best combo. read more

If you want a homemade Mandu, you need to try this place. As soon as you try one you know it is a healthy for you unlike other mandu places. read more

Amazing Korean dumplings ! I got kimchi and pork. Both were on point!! I'll definitely be back.

Got dumplings here because I was on a strict postpartum diet. Nothing special, different types of dumplings. Tried pork and a shrimp one. Did not spark joy. read more

Dumplings! Dumpling heaven!!!! A coworker introduced me to kimchi dumplings and they were out of this world. I had to go back and get more. I ended up buying shrimp dumplings and they were delicious!!! You can purchase dumplings frozen and take home or there is a great variety of dumplings they will steam on the spot for you! read more

My wife and I were in the mood for Korean dumping (mandoo), so she searched on Yelp and found this place. Although, it only had 12 reviews, all were 5 stars and one with 4 stars, so we decided to give this place a try. Nice job Yelpers, this place is awesome. Driving up to Mama's Best, my wife and I were a little concerned, since from the outside didn't look inviting and once inside, same concerned lingered. Not much to the inside of the place. No decor whatsoever. There were number of various different varieties of steamed dumpling(mandoo) were on the counter, which all looked good. The owner (didn't ask his name) could tell we were hesitant, so he gave us pork mandoo to sample. OMG! So good. Absolutely no porky/gamy taste. While speaking with the owner, learned number of restaurants in NYC buys dumplings from Mama's Best. He even mentioned couple of Michelin star restaurants buy from him, too. Of course he wouldn't tell us the names of any of the restaurants that buys Mama's Best dumplings, but wife and I have some candidates (will keep those to ourselves). Unfortunately, completely out of King Mandoo (extra large) and won't be making more until sometime late Feb. got to go back when they start making King Mandoo again. Anyway, we ended up buying few pre-steamed (kimchi, vegetables, and red bean steam buns) mandoo, so we could eat right away. The owner was nice to re-steam for us, so they were hot and ready to eat. Also bought few different frozen (kimchi/pork, vegetables, and shrimp). As soon as we got home, wolf-down the hot, steamed mandoos. All the mandoos are large and very filling. They were so filling couldn't eat all, so had to save them for the next day. The kimchi mandoos were very spicy, more than others I've had at other places, but so good. The vegetable mandoos were also very good, but just a little blend (probably because I ate the very flavorful kimchi mandoo first). Next evening, decided to pan fry the mandoo and was blown away how good they were. I don't think the 3 packages of frozen mandoo will last very long. Yummy, definitely going back to Mama's Best for more. A definite diamond in the rough. read more

Awesome and authentic korean mandoos and best in the area. But besides their mandoos their ddukboki is also one of the best compared to other boonshik restaurants. We usually order the steamed hyoja round mandoos and also the beef and chives frozen mandoos for later. While they have a variety of selection, the usual favorites like hyoja beef and shrimp dumplings are my favorite and are the only ones I order for take out. read more

This place is as good as it gets for high quality authentic korean dumplings. I tried several and took home a few bags of frozen dumplings. Tastes home-made. There's no seating - it's strictly a take-out place. But if you get the ready to eat dumplings, the owner will steam them up for you nice and hot. The owner is super friendly and nice too. He seems like he runs an honest business. It makes me feel good to support someone like him, particularly when his product is so good. read more

This is specilty store. Dumpling dumpling once you have some of their dumplings you can never go back to ones in the other store. I love their spicy pork and regular pork ones. Other dumplings are tasty too. Enjoy hot steamed dumplings read more

My husband and I stopped by while traveling from Seattle. What a great fine. Deliciously fresh dumplings. Great location. You can steam at home or they will steam for you and you can take away. We will be coming back soon. read more

OMG these dumplings are killer! Found this place on yelp (thanks again yelp) on my way home. I wanted to pick up a quick bite as it was near closing time. First, this is not a restaurant. He makes dumplings, period. I grabbed the spicy pork dumplings which they offered to steam for me so that I could eat them immediately. They were out of this world. His ingredients are totally fresh and you can taste the difference. They were also loaded with ingredients so you get a nice, meaty dumpling. Definately recommend this place. I think I'm going to get 30 pack next time since they freeze well. read more

Went all over NJ in search of the best dumplings/Mandoo. I should have just came here first instead of last. My husband isn't a huge fan of kimchi and he preferred the ones with kimchi. My mother who is from Korea said they were the best she has had in a long long time. I'm going to have to order soon. Hopefully the bags of frozen I bought her gold her over until then. read more

Dumplings galore! If you like dumpings, I would highly recommend that you check out this place. It's a Korean dumping store, so you'll find flavors like Kimchi, Kimchi + Pork, etc. You can either buy individual sized portions, which you can buy as is (pre-steamed but will be room-temperature) or ask them to steam it for you (will take a few minutes and is a free service). They also sell large bags of frozen dumplings that you can bring home to steam or fry! There are also different types of dumpings - those with the traditional thin wrappers as well as dumpings (small & large) made with dough, so it has a bread-like consistency (with filling on the inside). The beverages are moderately priced ($1?). read more

amazing dumplings. Sung is warm and welcoming each time i go in. Beef and mushroom are my favorite. They don't skimp on the filler either!! read more

Delicious veggie dim sum!!! The kimchi and shrimp are also amazing. The owner is soooo friendly. I am so happy I yelped a dim sum spot and found out they were a mile away from my doctor's office! I hiiiiiighly suggest you go there, ask fresh dumplings awaiting you at the front be steamed, ask for their wasabi mayo long with the soy sauce, and meet heaven. Also, have heaven later by getting their frozen dumplings which are just as good and a chapter alternative. I think it's 30 pieces for $16 if you get frozen. read more

We stumbled upon this place while looking for another mandoo place on the same street but boy are we glad we got lost and found Mama Best Food! The King kimchi mandoo are definitely worth a try. But we especially loved the steamed shrimp dumplings. They're soo cheap and how can you not love that they are handmade by lovely korean grandmas??!! read more

Food 3 Service 3.5 Ambiance N/A This is a takeout place but they do have one small round table. Everything in there is in Korean, luckily i had my wife w/ me. All they make are dumplings and small buns (think chinese buns with pork fillings inside). The cooked ones are wrapped for you to pick up or you can get a bag of the frozen stuff. If you want to eat there or eat soon after, they will re-heat/steam the pre-cooked ones for you. Things to know: *You can choose from frozen or cooked (steamed and not potstickers/gyoza) *They sell cooked veggie dumplings--$6 for ~11. *Cooked pork ones varied btwn $8-11. The dumplings are sizeable. They are steamed and not pan-fried (so not potstickers) * You can taste the quality and 'cleaness' of their food Located in a shopping center passed the 7-11 as you head towards fort lee on bergen blvd. The owner is uber friendly/sweet per my wife read more
