Clean, friendly staff and great food. I thought the portions to be great but my fiancé felt his was stuffed with more rice than meat. We both did enjoy the flavor of our wraps. I ordered the bulgogi steak and he had the ultimate Tex-Mex. We will be back to try other items off their menu!

The food here was excellent. We tried steamed mandu, fried mandu, and the Korean fried chicken. We enjoyed it all. I’d never had Korean fried chicken before, and thought the spicy sauce was delicious while the breading was beautifully crispy. Dumplings are almost always satisfying, and the mandu here definitely hit the mark as well.
The service was good but felt impersonal. You order through a machine at the counter and a server brings out your food when it’s ready. They were very nice during our brief interaction but the focus here is definitely on efficiency rather than catering to customers.
It’s not the prettiest location or atmosphere but it’s still definitely worth coming to for the food.

We got spicy rice cake (ddukbokki) and pork & veggie dumplings and shrimp & pork dumplings. The two dumplings were pretty much the same except one had shrimp and the other didn’t. I wish we got two different flavored ones. Nonetheless, they were juicy and good. I would skip the shrimp dumplings. It was $13 and not worth the price. Same with spicy rice cake. It was $17 and nothing special about it. Unfortunately, considering what you get for the price, we probably won’t be back and won’t recommend it.

I had huge expectations for this place and have visited all 3 menu changes. So… I ordered a monster combo with fries, a 20.00 before tax and tip. This meal was an utter disappointment from the beginning. This thing comes out and looks like it was just born and not a monster yet, maybe 5 inches, but definitely not a monster. Not pqcked loose and soft. I try to stay positive and take a bite, which seems to be rice with korean spicy pork sauce. At my 3rd bite, I start to see and taste a little bit of the meat that seems of good quality but yet only teased. As I kept going, I faced the reality that I ordered spicy pork flavored rice with lettuce and a little bit of rice. Pork itself is not that expensive. I know they can do better. As for ratio. 60% rice, 10% pork and 40 % lettuce, and all sauce. Not how I would want it. But at this point, I will never return. I did not give a one star because the flavor of the meat itself was good and good quality. Honestly, this is 5.00 meal. The pictures are my 3rd bite and halfway in.

This place is easily the best new restaurant in federal way by far! Probably in the south end. We’ve eaten here 3 times and everything we’ve tried has been as if it came from your Korean Grandmother. We’ve tried many things on these visits. I just can’t rave enuff about the quality of the ingredients. Everything is truly as fine as I’ve had anywhere. Every dish we’ve ordered comes artistically plated. This place is truly amazing. There are other mandu places in federal way. They’re good. This one blows them all away. They’re also doing it far differently than the other spots. I eat a lot of Korean food. This is hands down the best. Seen here are:
Bulgoki, spicy hand made dumpling with Buldak sauce, and some ridiculously addictive kimchi fries. Fabulous!!!! Portions are large and everything is super fresh and made right when u order it. You just can’t go wrong here. Yay!!!!

This small, local spot serves up some of the best Korean fusion food I’ve had. We dined in and ordered the pan-fried dumplings, steamed dumplings, and loaded fries—everything was packed with flavor and cooked to perfection. The portions were generous for the price, it didn’t look like much but definitely filled us up!
Before leaving, we grabbed a burrito to go, and it was just as amazing as the rest of the meal.
If you’re looking for a cozy spot with delicious food and great value, this is the place to go. Can’t wait to come back and try more from the menu!

Super pumped to have found this Korean dumpling house. They serve a broad selection of steamed, pan-fried, or deep-fried dumpling deliciousness. And the kimchi pancake is a fantastic choice and is not to be overlooked.

I can’t wait to go back! After coming back from Korea just a few weeks ago, and missing the mandu that I used to make with my grandma, we decided to try out this fairly new spot. Let me tell you, when they say handmade dumplings, it is 100% handmade. Everything was so tasty and perfectly cooked. The staff is friendly and service was great. We had the pork/vegetable, kimchi, and shrimp/pork/vegetable mandu, and an order of wings. The wings were perfectly sauced and crispy. We also got the knife cut noodles (spicy seafood), which was also really good. Looking forward to eating here again soon!

I think it’s almost like a happy hour kind of place than a meal? The dumplings were so-so in my opinion, nothing spectacular or anything special. I suggest a dumpling sampler menu were there would be a variety of dumpling. Definitely a bit pricey?

Legit when the old school patrons frequent the establishment. The area is safe and clean with lots of parking available.
Inside is clean. Workers were fast and pleasant. Water was filled promptly.
Hubby recommends the Bulgogi fries. Kids liked everything. Lots of flavor. Comes with Kim chee and picked radish for Banchan.
I’ll be back to try the bowls.
