Went last year 6/2025 but forgot to post a review. So delicious and it’s kinda a hidden establishment but definitely worth the stop. There is a sweet older man working there alone, but give him patience to give you some of the best dumplings ever.

I highly recommend the handmade, fresh dumplings here—they’re located in the industrial park. The snowflake dumplings were our favorite! Steamed was a close second, and the fried dumplings were also delicious. Portions are very generous, so come hungry. Enjoy!

This place is absolutely worth going out of your way to visit. It’s on the outskirts of Koreatown and is currently one of the only retail establishments in the area, but it would be a shame to let that deter you. The restaurant is simple and humble but clean, inviting and fairly spacious.
The five stars for the atmosphere really comes from the experience provided by the proprieter himself. He’s a gem of a human being, and his kind and jovial nature is infectious. He could be heard happily singing old Korean tunes in the kitchen throughout my visit, and I loved it.
The dumplings themselves were all excellent. I grew up eating mandu (Korean dumplings), and these freshly-made morsels did not disappoint in the least. They were all amply stuffed, expertly crafted, appealing to look at and invariably tasty. If you like a spicier dipping sauce, they’ll eagerly oblige with some added chili powder that does the job.
The place is also BYOB, so bring a bottle of wine or soju and hang out for a bit so you can soak up this adorable man’s positive energy. The sign in Korean out front simply states that the dumplings are “made with sincerity,” and I think that sums this place up nicely. Simple food (but elegant in its own way) done well by people who like other people and take pride in their offerings. How often are you really finding that these days?

A truly amazing experience it gave a DFW family owned and operated cultural dining experience. The owner personally service and showed my children acceptance like he was their uncle. This place is focused on dumplings which is great. We ordered some fried and steamed the beef, shrimp, pork, and it was filling way more filling than your cheap Chinese takeout restaurant dumplings. Definitely coming back to support the small business and hopefully to see it grow over the years. Stop playing with yourself and be treated like family. Right here. There were multiple ethnicities of people dining in which just cemented how good the food was we ordered three sets of dumplings 6 each set and for 3 kids and a man and woman it was filling

I came here after seeing this place blow up on my instagram. I was very disappointed. We ordered the beef dumplings, pork snow flake dumplings, and the owner recommended the kimchi dumplings. The kimchi dumplings were horrible. I love the taste of kimchi but couldn’t stand the taste of the dumplings . The beef dumplings were pretty disappointing too. The pork dumplings were the most tolerable and were average at best. This place is overhyped for sure and for the $48 we spent on 3 types of dumplings it definitely wasn’t worth it. I definitely would not recommend!

The dumplings were amazing! My mom thought she didn’t like dumplings, but I brought her here and she left wowed. 10/10. The owner is so nice too!

Without a doubt some of the best dumplings I’ve ever had, and definitely the best in the DFW area that I’ve tried. We tried a few kinds of handmade dumplings and they were all amazing. Each one was packed with rich, savory umami flavor and a bite of refreshing green onion.
I highly recommend the traditional steamed mandu, the shrimp mandu, and the squid mandu. All were phenomenal. The owners were also incredibly kind and welcoming when we came in.
This is a new favorite spot for me, and I can’t wait to go back soon!

I would highly recommend. He makes all his dumplings handmade, from his family recipe. I love mandu and have had lots of different kinds but I could really taste the difference. It was really really good!

I’ve lived less than five minutes away from here since it opened, this was the first time I stopped by and I’m so mad I didn’t try this place sooner. The owner was incredibly sweet and you can tell he puts a lot of work into what he does. These dumplings were some of the best dumplings I’ve ever had. They were full of flavor, and he definitely doesn’t hold back on the amount of meat in each one. Safe to say I’ll be a regular from now on.

Was curious to try after seeing raving reviews. (Many who left a review without visiting the restaurant it seems). I want to share an honest review of the restaurant from service to food. I walked in and ordered a fried pork mandu and a steamed kimchi mandu. It took about 12-14 min to get my food with no one in front of me. The owner was very kind and friendly. The inside of the restaurant is very clean and simple. A pretty casual place to grab lunch at.
When I went there were two staff members, but expect a longer wait time if you go during a lunch rush. As for the food, the fried pork mandu were very delicious. The kimchi mandu was also really good though nothing special. The pieces were of a considerable size, however, I am not sure about the price. I think it was about 9.99-10.99 per order and the prices aren’t on the menu so you’d have to ask to see what the price is. You’d never know if the price is suddenly different just by looking at the menu board at the restaurant. Serving portions might be difficult if you’re not coming with others. I think 6 pieces for one person might not be filling enough if you’re hungry, but two orders would be too much. (No picture bc I ate mine during the drive back home)
If I’m being honest you could probably get more food for your money if you bought the frozen ones from Hmart. Frying them might be a bit difficult to get right on your own but you’d have no problem steaming them. Anyway what I am trying to get at is that I wouldn’t go out of my way to go here unless you’re already in the area for something else. It’s always great to support a local business, so I’d check it out if you ever have the chance. It’d be a great place to eat at after making a run to the local Hmart or eat here before hitting up the karaoke places further east on Royal Ln 🙂
