   My fiancé and I went out to Mandu for date night and truly enjoyed it. I thought the ambiance was nice but I had a false perspective of what my experience would be like. The KFC Wings were good. My fiancé and truly enjoyed our food. This restaurants was list as number 1 from 2 other Korean restaurants in dc. Although I enjoyed it I do not think it’s better than Anjufrc. The restaurant setting/decor plays into my opinion.

   Hi! I enjoy eating at Mandu, but I wanted to share one thing about my experience that will hopefully help staff and other diners. When I visited in early Aug 2022, I found the restaurant's COVID protocols to be inconsistent. The website and signage around the restaurant asks diners to wear masks while not eating, but the staff is mask-free. Also, the website says outdoor and indoor dining is available, and to specify what option you'd like when you make a rsvp. Open Table does not give diners an option to choose an indoor or outdoor table, but I requested an outdoor table in the additional notes section only to find that outdoor dining was not set up for the night I visited. The unmasked/no outdoor option is not all that different from what I imagine other restaurants are doing these days, but the mixed messaging is challenging for diners who are trying to gauge the level of risk of dining out at Mandu. Thank you for a delicious meal and I hope this helps.

   Food and service were great, one star knocked off because it felt like the AC wasn’t working, so the restaurant was stuffy.

   Coaches look like they need to be replaced, that was an initial turn off. Food was decent but ambiance and quality of interior design could be improved

   We were a little concerned upon entering the restaurant which is in need of an update, but the food was truly incredible. We started with the mandu (2 of each type, steamed). They were decent, but not stellar. Next was the highlight of the night: the KFC. These were probably the best chicken wings we’ve ever had anywhere, anytime. They are an absolute must-order at Mandu and we might consider returning just for the wings. We were speechless. In between our starters and our entree, they brought out some banchan (extras included with purchase of entree). The spicy pickled cucumbers were our favorite. For our main course we had the Duru Jjigee. Also delicious, the rice cakes reminded us of gnocchi and the pork belly was also very good. We were worried that our main would fall flat coming right after the KFC, but it held its own. We ended the night with the twisted doughnut which was the perfect size for two. Very fluffy and the seasonal fruit compote paired very well. Overall, Mandu is an excellent food spot, but don’t expect high-level service or ambience.

    The food and service are absolutely amazing. However, the ambiance itself could use some help -- I was sat in a corner that felt like it had neon lights overhead, in addition to loud pop music. The food though. The food is.... AMAZING

    The food is great and the people super nice. I feel this place is a go-to for lunch not so much for dinner. It does need a bit more ambience for dinner. This is my second time, and I would likely go again but for a super casual dinner

    It is a casual and friendly place to dine-in for a casual get together or business meal, or family dining. Staff is very friendly and you get a great experience with Korean dining, and especially nice for vegetarians too.

    We had an excellent meal at Mandu, introducing our nephew to Korean food. Most dishes were really excellent , including Bibimbop, kalbi, and eggplant with pork belly. The mandu dumplings were also delicious, as well as the kfc chicken wings, However, the vegetable appetizer with acorn and mung bean jelly was disappointing and lacking in flavor. Also, the panchan items were fine but not outstanding. For dessert, the Korean donut was fabulous and we enjoyed the panna cotta with sesame cracker. Service throughout was excellent: attentive, helpful, and friendly. We would certainly return and our nephew and his roommate, who live in DC, plan to add it to their rotation.

    The portion size fir the duru jjigae is not what it used to be. Not sure if it’s inflation or what but that’s a bit sad as it’s such a yummy dish.
