" I’ve visited Mandu multiple times and it has been consistently good every time! The staff is incredibly attentive and welcoming every visit. The food is good, though depending on the dish, it may not always be authentic. The atmosphere feels friendly, making it a delightful experience overall. " (*Curated Review*)

" While I enjoyed my time at Mandu, I was hoping for a more authentic experience. The dishes, although tasty, didn’t quite capture the essence of Korean cuisine that I have had elsewhere. However, the service was absolutely fantastic and made up for this shortcoming. I had the seafood pancake which was quite good, though. I might consider returning to try other dishes. " (*Curated Review*)

" If you're looking for a casual place to enjoy Korean cuisine, Mandu could be the answer! The place feels homey, and the menu is diverse. While I didn’t find all dishes authentic to my palate, I enjoyed what I ordered. The bulgogi was delightful, but the prices were a bit high for the overall experience. I'd be willing to give it another chance. " (*Curated Review*)

" Mandu was a bit more upscale than I anticipated, which was a lovely surprise. The food was very good, especially the crispy KFC. The atmosphere was perfect for a date night. Prices are on the high side compared to typical Korean places, but the quality makes it worthwhile. I’d recommend it for special occasions! " (*Curated Review*)

" As a lover of Korean food, I had high hopes for Mandu, and it mostly delivered! The flavors were rich, especially in the kimchi jjigae, although I found the portion sizes a bit on the smaller side compared to other places. The service was quick and friendly, and the ambiance made me feel right at home. Next time, I’ll definitely order more sides to share! " (*Curated Review*)

" What a lovely little spot! Mandu offers a good range of Korean dishes that are mostly delicious. The ambiance is cozy and perfect for a casual meal. Prices may be a bit higher than I expected, but the flavors somewhat made up for it. A great experience overall! " (*Curated Review*)

" A delightful little find in the heart of DC! Mandu delivered on flavor with their kimbap and dumplings. The atmosphere was comfortable and the service was pleasant. I wouldn’t say it’s fully traditional, but definitely worth a visit if you’re in the area. Perfect for a casual meal! " (*Curated Review*)
