PrintMandoo Bar
I have a great love for all kinds of dumplings but the ones that find their way into my mouth most often tend to be soup dumplings (Chinese) and gyoza (Japanese). Korean dumplings are called "mandoo" and are pretty darn tasty, fried or steamed. At a place called Mandoo Bar on 32nd street in Manhattan's Koreatown, you can watch nice ladies making mandoo right in the storefront window right before you go inside and have them cooked up just for you. Jason Perlow visited Mandoo Bar recently and posted a set of mouth-watering photos on his blog, Off the Broiler—don't look on an empty stomach or it'll start rumbling for sure.

Mmm. Mandoo Bar. My second favorite on that block after New Seoul Garden.

I have to say Mandoo Bar has some of the worst man doos I've ever eaten. The frozen ones in the bag are better. Maybe I'm biased since my mother is Korean and makes amazing man doos. I find them to be heavy and doughy. Their spicy beef soup with mountain greens is amazing though!!!
