Seoul ManDoo is a great find for takeout. My order was ready in a manner of minutes, of which I waited comfortably in their clean and cute seating area. I ordered their 4pc giant dumpling combo and got four flavors. My favorites were the shrimp and the kimchi dumplings. The dumpling was well-stuffed. Absolutely full of veggies and noodles. the fried shrimp dumpling was satisfyingly crispy. This plate comes with a zesty sauce and a side of pickled radish. The sauce was perfect to pour onto or dip your dumpling in and the radish was a nice, crunchy palette cleanser between different flavors. I also ordered some frozen dumplings to take home. They'll make great additions to my lunch and dinners in the near future. Thank you Seoul ManDoo.

Heard this place had some good dumplings so I had to try it. I got the kimchi fried dumplings and the meat baos. The fried kimchi dumpling was a hit! very crispy and tasty with the dipping sauce. I didn't care too much for the meat baos, it was a bit tasteless. Enjoyed the side of radish too. Resturant is small with limited tables. I did order to go.

Wow, wow, and wow. My girlfriend and I made it into Denver, CO and we're looking for food places to eat. She recommended we try this restaurant and I said let's do it. As soon as we walked in, we were greeted warmly by the owner which I appreciated very much. We asked about some of the menu items and she gave us a brief description of the different options and her personal recommendations on what to order, so we took her recommendation and ordered the Fried Dumplings with half meat and half kimchi. The food was absolutely amazing. The fried dumplings were crispy, crunchy, juicy, savory, delicious, and when paired with the sauce, it became an explosion of flavors which I loved. The only thing I was upset about was how quickly I ate them. Overall, I was extremely impressed with not only the food, but the owners as well. They were very nice and respectful, they checked on the other customers and made sure everything was going great. I definitely recommend everyone to come here and try the amazing food options that Seoul Mandoo provides. I will definitely be returning the next time I'm in Denver!

Dumpling beauty at its finest

Not many food places leave me speechless, but Seoul ManDoo had no problem doing that! My boyfriend and I were looking at a places to eat while on my trip to Denver and this gem of a restaurant popped up. The food looked appetizing on Yelp, but I am so happy to say that the taste was just as amazing. I haven't been able to find food that reminded me of Korea since I left, but the taste of this food transported me back to my time there! I had the Giant Dumpling Combo 3 which consisted of Kimchi, Galbi, and Meat, and tried the fried meat and kimchi Seoul dumplings. Both which were amazing, and I would try to write about the flavors but there's no words for food this good. Also the sauce that comes with it is a perfect combination for the dumplings and adds even more amazing flavor. The service here is also top notch. The cashier was so kind and helpful, and just added on to our amazing experience. If I could give this place a 6th star I would, GREAT job. I will be missing this place until I come back to Denver. If you're in the area- you need to stop here !

Wow! I have never had steamed dumplings like these! The texture of the dough was fluffy yet smooth and not overwhelming the flavors hidden inside. If you like some kick to your dumplings then I highly recommend the Kimchi Dumplings. If not, then my second favorite was the meat dumplings. Both were full of flavor and perfect for one meal. I was full after eating 2. Swing by this place and check it out! It's on Yelp's top 50 for a reason.

Was really mislead by the pictures I saw on here. We got the shrimp and beef dumplings, and the shrimp was good. However the beef was still really pink inside causing us to leave in a hurry.

I wanted to find a new place to fix my dumpling craving. I opened yelp and searched. Seoul ManDoo had some really good ratings. I headed there to get a takeout order yesterday. It was not busy at 4:30 on a Sunday. I ordered the fried kimchi, and Galbi dumplings. Four to an order. These are larger than the store bought dumplings. Each order came with the dumpling sauce and chopsticks. The kimchi dumplings have a kick to them. Both were flavorful and very tasty. I'll be back. This place is located on a corner that has a lot to choose from!

Came for a Yelp event. What a cute place! I love it. I'll have to bring my son as he is into all things Korean because of his heritage. The place is cozy and warm. The server was so nice and helpful. They made up my special event box and off I went as I wanted to share my goodies with my son. The carry out box was so awesome. Well made and sturdy. The dumplings were huge. We warmed them up in a moist towelette. 4 different kinds - shrimp, kimchi, galbi and meat. Galbi is marinated meat but I wasn't sure if it was pork or beef. There were sauces included - soy sauce, chili sauce and pickled radish. The dumplings were tasty. My son really liked them. I liked the shrimp and kimchi dumplings. My son ate them all. We are definitely going to head to the restaurant and eat some warm, fresh dumplings. Can't wait.

Thanks Seoul Mandoo for hosting the Yelp event to try your tasty Korean dumplings. You need to look for this place, but it is worth it to find these authentic dumplings. Our yelp combo #4 had 4 giant dumplings. By far, my favorite was the fried shrimp and huge stuffed shrimp, lightly battered and fried perfectly. Next were a kimchi, and 2 meat dumplings. They were all huge! Absolutely loved the dipping sauce (needed 2 of them, what can I say, I'm a dipper). I totally recommend Mandoos, and the owner is such a sweety and made us feel very welcome. Check it out!

This place is definitely not overhyped! It deserves all the high ratings. We were first greeted ever so warmly by the lady whom I assumed was the owner. I got a 4 giant dumplings combo and a Korean rice cake. Was wondering if that'll be enough for two people. She didn't pressure me to order more but suggested that I tried the food first. She also didn't need me to pay up front just in case I want to order more. The food came out and everything was delicious. I mean, DELISH! First things first: unless you're lactose intolerant, ask for cheese topping for the rice cakes, it'll be so fun to eat! All 4 of the giant dumplings in the combo were wonderful in different ways. The Kimchi one had just the right amount of kick. The shrimp one is hubby's favorite. I loved the bun skin on the non-fried Mandoos just as much. Everything has that home-y feel like when you go home for dinner. The skin to filling ratio is impeccable. I'd love to come back and try the veggie Mandoos!

Lisa N.

First off, a HUGE applause to the service! In this small, family-run operation, I have never felt so much compassion and care in the food service. While it's a walk-up counter style ordering, she was very kind to explain all the different menu items and providing suggestions/recommendations. She also came to our booth multiple times through our dinner to check in on us. Very unnecessary but very much appreciated! These buns- WOW- they live up to the hype! I highly recommend the 4-pack, where you can try a little of everything. My husband's favorite is the shrimp, mine was the kimchi. GO- you are missing out!!!

We came here Wednesday evening for dinner time. The dining space is very small and cozy, but we were still able to grab a spot. Service was so friendly and kind. We ordered the giant 4 combo plate, fried meat dumplings, and the sweet red bean paste buns. Our food was ready promptly and steaming hot and fresh. The giant combo plate was truly giant. The texture of the steamed buns were so soft and fluffy. All were delicious but I think my favorites were the Galbi and the fried shrimp. The fried meat dumplings were also fantastic. So hot and crunchy on the outside, meat so juicy on the inside. I also love the pickled radish served on the side. We ended with the sweet red bean buns. They were massive and not as sweet as we were expecting, but still delicious (also made for great leftovers). I would definitely come back to Seoul Mandoo. Their other menu items look so good, and their kind service was a huge plus!

Picking up my Yelp goodies.  I'm also getting some other mandoos.

I am Muslim and cannot have any pork. What are my options?

Do you take reservations?

It's super small, like 10 seats total. This is more of a take out place but you can order ahead

Do you have any gluten-free options?

I don't think there is

Are the kimchi dumplings vegetarian and the shrimp only have shrimp and no other meats? Thanks in advance!

No, kimchi has pork and shrimp has a meat as well. We do have vegetarian dumpling though. Thank you

We got the classic soondae soup with bone broth and spicy soondae soup, both without intestines. The soondae was very chewy and the classic broth was on the lighter side. I added some pepper and spicy chili paste for added flavor. It tasted great with the kimchi and pickled radishes. The spicy broth definitely had a kick to it and had lots of pepper flakes inside. They ddukbokki took awhile to come out but once we got it, we enjoyed how it tasted like classic spicy rice cake with fish cake in it. It only had half of a boiled egg, but it was still good paired with the spicy and sweet sauce. They had lots of seating indoors. Definitely will be coming back to try more items.

At least for lunch combo, the thoughtful assortment of main dish and side dishes as well as soup of the day are very satisfactory. Their food is little bit more on a savory side compared to other Korean restaurants who use too many spices. Before I met Baekga, i was pretty disappointed in local franchises of Korean eateries in Colorado, but Baekga not only they have very calm and toned down atmosphere for pleasant meals, it is the venue I would actually bring my visitors to. The location is little far for me to explore their dinner menus but I would love to when I am nearby next time. Champagne kimchi was inspiring. I never had any kind of Kimchi taste like this. I really praise for the creativity. It would be a good pair with a variety of food such as charcuterie board, katsu, sausage dish, barbecue, and simple with wine! I personally liked Dakgangjeong, Beef radish soup (soup of the day), and champagne kimchi from my visit. Frankly, this venue maybe a polarizing Korean restaurant especially for Korean natives, but I personally think this venue deserves more recognition compared to other local Korean franchise in Denver/Aurora who just serve the food items but not the sincerity and/or creativity.

It's def a more modern Korean restaurant from the interior alone. But food was delicious. I was interested in a lot of items on the menu u so it was hard to choose from. The dakgalbi lunch special was an actual full on lunch with sides and soup. The galbi tang was pretty good. The meat is some of the best I've had in CO. It was very tender and fell off the bone very easily. The La galbi was so good and flavorful. When it's mixed with the onions and veggies and rice, everything tastes really good combined. I would skip on the pancakes because they were a little burnt. We saw a different one come out and it was also burnt. Otherwise, eat around because it's quite flavorful.

The experience here is exactly what I want from Korean BBQ: lively, satisfying, and easy to settle into for a while. The cheese corn is an absolute must and easily one of the best sides on the table. The steamed egg was fluffy and comforting, and the meats were the real highlight. The pork belly was rich and well cut, the bulgogi was flavorful, and the short ribs were tender and cooked beautifully. Add a few bottles of soju and suddenly you've lost track of time in the best way. This is the kind of place you go with friends, order generously, and just enjoy the night.

The quality of the meat is good, the portions were big enough for the two of us, but definitely would not be enough if there were more in our party. This isn't an AYCE place like many other Korean BBQ restaurants, so expect to pay per meat selection. The prices are comparable to other non-AYCE restaurants in Aurora though. Total for the two of us: about $200, which included the tip. We dined on a weeknight so there wasn't a wait but I assume there is one on the weekends since the restaurant is fairly small. The service was fast and friendly and they checked on us often. Brush up on your parallel parking since only street parking is available.

However, I was very pleasantly surprised at the ambiance, the food, the drinks, and the warmth of the owner! We walked in Thursday night at 11pm. It was one of the only Asian restaurants in the area still open after our flight landed. As expected, the customers were sparse save for 2-3 tables of diners. The interior was immediately green flags - l loved the decor and wood tones. It felt like I was in Korea! The menu is your typical pocha fare - soups, Korean pancakes, army stew, KBBQ meats. We ordered the jalapeño soy chicken wings, volcano pork, and the kimchi fried rice. My favorite was the chicken wings, really crunchy with good flavor and the wings were decently sized. The volcano pork came over a fire burner and cooked at our table. It was definitely pretty spicy but paired really well with the kimchi fried rice, which I thought could be spicier. The pork quality was ok but I really liked the flavors and the bean sprouts in the pot. I particularly love that K Pocha has zero sugar soju on the menu no sugar = no hangovers!) I always drink the brand with the fox on it and squeeze a bit of lemon into the shot. We were served by the owner and the service was efficient. He didn't seem to speak the best English so we had to have one of our friends translate when we asked questions, but he was really nice and welcoming. K Pocha seems to be pretty new, so I will hopefully be back soon to support his business! I definitely want to try the army stew and the tofu soups.

We each got our own side dish with 4 side dishes. There was cabbage kimchi, radish kimchi, cucumber kimchi, and a soy braised potato with fish cakes. I love a good hot stone bibimbap because of the crispy rice and this was CRISPY. I loved it. The side dishes were the perfect compliment to the dishes too. I will say my only complaint is the beef wasn't as flavorful as some other places but with how much food they're cranking out with only 2 people, they're doing a pretty great job. Despite all the people coming in and the people eating, the lady in the front was still happy and let people know there would be at least a 30 min wait to get seated. Overall, I would probably go here again if I was in the area and wanted a got stone bibimbap and didn't mind a wait but its definitely not a place to go if you're starving due to the potentially long waits.
