Mandoo Bar

We headed to K-town for Mandoo at MANDOO BAR on a recent Friday night. I really like this place, EVEN though it’s like $1/dumpling. The restaurant is very cozy and they make all the dumplings in the front on a daily basis:

We both ordered the goon mandoo (fried pork dumplings) because last time I ordered the kim chi mandoo and I didn’t think they were THAT great. 8 little mandoos for $7.99:

MMMmmm fried goodness:

Mandoo Bar is a better dumpling bar than most Japanese places/Chinese places because their dumpling skin is 1. homemade and 2. extra thick. Their kimchee radishes aren’t that great, but you’re not going to a dumpling bar for their appetizers, are you? It’s almost always packed, but it’s a worthwhile wait.
