Fresh Mandoo

this place was absolutely delicious but I can’t figure out if it’s permanently closed or not :(:(:(:(

this place is closed — either that, or they are not following their advertised hours. I went there on a Sunday mid-​day around 11:00 — sign says they are closed — went the next day around 12:00, same sign. Asked the cashier in front, said they haven’t been open for awhile. Called the store the next day, same thing. What’s going on?! This is the ONLY place that serves actual REAL WANG mandoo — not that fake gyoza looking crap — why are they not open anymore?!

Really good! Best ever? No.
Wang mandoo is the name of the game here — fat, fluffy, and chock full of filling. We got pork and veggie, pork and kimchi, and the red bean. Now, I love mandoo. And so does my husband, whose first wang mandoo experience was in Korea. We thoroughly enjoyed these, but they also left us reminiscing about the ones in Korea. :-)

So happy that they have wang mandoo (king dumpling) inside Hankook Supermarket! Tiny stand located at the back of a mini food court area, friendly staff and you can look through the glass window as the ladies are making fresh batch of hand-​made mandoos and putting them on a big steamer…
Got myself the pork and kimchi mandoo ($ 2.50). The mandoo were so plump and big, they are like the size of my fist! Though my fist isn’t that big hehe. Took one bite of it and oh my goodness… it was so delicious! The dumplings was so warm, the outer dough was soft and fluffy and inside they stuffed the filling with generous amount of ground pork, glass noodle and chopped kimchi (though the kimchi taste was slight, you can’t really taste it).
The choices is quite limited and I have yet to try their other mandoos, but if all the variety were as good as their kimchee mandoo, I would be so happy to come back whenever I’m in a mood for a quick warm bite.

Mmmmm! Their pork kimchi mandoo is ON POINT! I was craving some meaty buns real bad, and Fresh Mandoo hit the spot.
The buns are perfectly textured, not too hard, not too soggy. The kimchi taste isn’t overwhelming or anything at all.
It’s super cheap, too. I always have to buy some whenever I come to this market. hehe

Just happened to need a little snack to hold me over while waiting for a restaurant down the street to open for lunch…
Saw fresh mandoo and decided to give them a try since I do quite like meat stuffed buns… I requested a pork kimchi mandoo since that sounded interesting. She kindly packaged the mandoo in a styrofoam container, saran wrapped it, and then presented it to me. Oh… it was so pretty! The design on the top. THE SIZE of the mandoo! Ah. broke the pork kimchi mandoo in half. there was much more to it than just pork and kimchi which I hadn’t expected… but my apologies, I was too busy devouring it to contemplate on what they may have actually put in it. Steaming warm, the bread was absolutely scrumptious. The bread was not dry at all, moist to perfection. The stuffing was warm but not too hot or cold. A great combination of flavors. The sour kimchi flavor wasn’t too strong but it was there. Had a bit of a kick to it. Again, I’ve never had fresh buns before so this was just heavenly. MMmmmm Must go back soon to try the rest!!!
Totally worth the $ 2.50 per bun. :) Please try them. I surprised at their limited selection of three different buns but hey, what better way to perfect their current offerings? Oh fresh mandoo. you’ve left quite the impression on me…

HOLY CRAP SO DELICIOUS! I tried out their kimchi pork bun and it was amazing! I’m not a fan of pork, but this stuff is worth the $ 2.50. After my friend had a bite he wouldn’t share. oh so delicious :)

Omg. Omg. Omg… There mandoo is delicious! Ive tried many types of mandoo, Korean, Chinese, and Cantonese. My mom also makes them but sadly, she cant make it as good as this…
Theyre definitely generous on the fillings. I love the pork&kimchi flavor. When you bite into it, it gives a somewhat spicy, yet semi-​sweet flavor. They probably put a bit of sugar in the dough.
If you go after 6pm, they wrap the leftover batch into 2s or 3s. Sometimes they even mix it together. They were still a little warm when I bought them at 8. But it was worth $ 12.50. Its just so DELICIOUS!
