Our Take
The Spot
Mandu has served homestyle Korean cuisine from its K Street NW location in Mount Vernon Triangle since 2006, run by chef/owners Yesoon Lee and Danny Lee. The dumplings that give the restaurant its name are the dish regulars mention first, with kimchi, Korean BBQ, and a rotating lineup of appetizers rounding out the table.

Reviewers consistently point to generous portions, attentive service, and steady quality visit after visit, with good value for the neighborhood coming up often in feedback.

Michelin Guide has selected Mandu in its Washington, DC guide for 2023, 2024, and 2025.
