Unbelievably good food, great server who was exceptional with allergies and recommendations. Try those chicken wings! And just about anything else on the menu.

I thought Mandu was terrific! I have eaten a fair bit of Korean food, including in Seoul, and I thought the food here stood out. Our server was helpful and attentive. I appreciated that the noise level allowed us to have an important conversation comfortably over dinner. As it happened, one of my guests forgot a backpack here. The restaurant staff went to considerable trouble to track me down and assure that he got it back. A nice grace note and consistent with the overall vibe of the place.

If you are familiar with Korean food, ask a lot of questions! The menu has variety but it's difficult to understand from the descriptions in the menu. Food was great. Pork belly dishes are best. The green tea cocktail and sojutini were yum.

A warm, comfortable, and stylish physical environment, a welcoming and attentive staff, a culinary crew skilled in both menu creation and kitchen execution, and a surprisingly gentle sound environment all made for an unusually pleasant dining experience. This was my first experience at Mandu, and I am certain that it will not be my last.

Perhaps if Mandu opened 2 restaurants in the same building, one offering a more traditional Korean preparation of well-known dishes and another with the delicious fare of their interpretation of the traditional, the result would be fantastic. We enjoyed our dining experience and recommend to others.

I have celiac disease so I am very thankful that I can eat Korean food safely at Mandu; especially the Korean fried chicken, which I thought I would never be able to taste it due to celiac disease. The ambiance is nice, the staff is friendly and the banchan are always tasty. Can't wait to go back!
