    Mandoo House on Nuuanu Ave
    Twinkle S.

    Mandoo House on Nuuanu Ave is the spot!! Stopped by last week and bought a bag of the vegetable/chicken mandoo. They were so good, we cooked the rest the following night and stopped by a few days later for more.

    This is how you Mandoo it... Chances are many of you have driven pass this place right on Nuuanu Ave though if you blink may have passed it and it's a shame as this cute little place does Mandoo and knows what they're doing. Located right across Hosoi Garden Mortuary just look for the "Hand Mandoo" sign and street parking is the only thing I know but you'll only take forever if you're indecisive as it's an easy choice... - Vegetable with Chicken Mandoo Half bag at $22 for 20 pieces Full bag at $35 for 35 pieces - Kimchee Mandoo Half bag at $28 for 20 pieces Full bag at $45 for 35 pieces Pan fried, Deep fried or just plop them in your soup these yummies can hold it all in regardless and are just delicious! I usually get the chicken and love the convenience as it's kept frozen and cooked when you feel like it. Thank you!

    Today I got to try the vegetable chicken mandoo (dumpling) 10 pieces for $12, and "WOW" it was so tasty. The only thing is you have to cook it. The ladies are very nice also.

    Right off the side on Nuuanu Rd. You'll probably see the Tio Tamale shop 1st. If you see Nuuanu okazuya you went too far. Anyways they only had frozen when we went which is fine so I can make a few here and there when I want. These are very good sized mandoo and the outsider wrapper is thicker with more chew. In other words perfect for soups and making your own won ton mein at home. The more Chinese Japanese gyoza potsticker is was smaller and thinner that'll fall apart. Overall very satisfied and will try the kimchee one next time I'm around. Not sure about parking as we had something across the street and just walked over

    Love the aunties here, making fresh mandoo daily! Yum

    Best mandoo in town, made with love! You can eat it straight after pick up (if made on that day), or freeze to eat later!

    Frozen handmade Mandoo (Korean dumplings) to go ... If you want authentic Mandoo in the comfort of your own home, you might want to try Omega Mandoo House on Nu'uanu Avenue in Honolulu. I've passed by this cozy shop hundreds of times. I think my friend had gotten a bag of Mandoo and let me taste a few many years ago. It was pretty good! The other day, I was getting some lunch for my mom at Nu'uanu Okazuya and found an open metered stall right in front of Omega Mandoo House. Since I was there, I thought that I should get a bag of Mandoo. The best deal was 40 pieces for $35. If you buy half a bag, it's 20 pieces for $20. Hmmm... Note: there's also a kimchee Mandoo. I got the Chicken and Chives version. The nice lady seemed so appreciative of my purchase. She said that it's best to defrost the Mandoo first, then fry them. Ok... I can do that! ...and I did! It was quite simple and quick! I had a nice lunch at home! Check it out! Maybe try boiling them in soup for a change up! Enjoy!

    All the ladies working so hard

    Cute ladies making mandoo all day. They are filled to the max and they taste delicious. It's always a great thing to have in your freezer to enjoy. They're so sweet and friendly and work,work, and work hard all day for our enjoyment. I know a lot of restaurants that use their mandoo so it's legit delicious. Prices went up a little but for all that hard work + the ingredient prices going up, it's ok. They're not overcharging and gauging prices like some places. It's hard work and it's delicious. Boiled, steamed, or pan fried I enjoy these!! $35/40 mandoo of the chicken and vegetable. It's a good price for me!!

    Decided to pick up some homemade Mandoo at the Mandoo House located on Nuuanu couple doors down from Nuuanu Okazuya. They was originally located across the street from Liliha L@L on Liliha. I got there and wanted to buy Kim Chee Mandoo and the vegetable w/chicken Mandoo. The sales person told me that they only had Kim Chee Mandoo left so I ordered a half bag @ $25. Looks like you get a price break if you order the full bag . The Kim Chee half bag of 20 pieces is for $25. The full bag you get 40 pieces @ $40. The chicken w/vegetable half bag of 20 pieces @$18 and a full bag of 40 pieces @ $30 . It comes frozen so you'll need to cook it yourself . I had their Mandoo before and it's very good but that's when they was located in Liliha. Now their at a new location I'm sure it taste the same . Good for the Holidays and you can't go wrong with Mandoo being your favorite pupu's. Support local and keep wearing your mask

    Chicken veggie mandoo. You bring home to cook/fry/steam
    Tara K.

    They close at 2pm! Total hole in the wall. Wished the aunty's at least wear mask while they make the mandoos. The mandoos come fully cooked frozen. They are handmade daily. So it's super fresh! The chicken veggie mandoo is soooo delicious! They sell out pretty fast so go early. Get plenty parking outside.

    Lunch!

    Does the kim chee mandoo have any meat in it or is it essentially vegetarian?

So many of the Korean restaurants in Honolulu have servers who are actually mean to the customers and we now refuse to give them our dining dollars. The more modern Korean restaurants are providing much better customer experiences so that a customer becomes a life-long customer who spreads the word to family and friends and who keeps coming back for life. Does anyone remember the "Angry Korean Auntie" who used to run her restaurant like Seinfeld's "Soup Nazi'? That is the kind of service that we try to avoid now regardless of food quality. The atmosphere here is elegant and welcoming and the food is excellent and the ban chans served here are better than any other Korean restaurant in Honolulu. We enjoy coming here and never smell like BBQ when we leave, LOL, due to efficient fans and AC's.

However, since I was in the area, my partner and I decided to give it another shot...and now I'm hooked In fact, I went three times last month. Not only is the food amazing, but the service is on another level. Everyone is incredibly friendly and welcoming. I highly recommend calling ahead for reservations. My go-to order is always the poke and kalbi, and the third dish depends on whatever my partner is craving that day. Parking can be a little challenging, but I promise it's worth it. Everything we've tried has been absolutely delicious. If I could, I'd eat here once a week! It's currently my partner's and my favorite spot. 10/10, highly recommend!

    We are extremely disappointed with our recent experience…read more We've been loyal customers and typically eat here twice a week whenever we're on assignment on the island in the last five years. We have also left two previous positive reviews because we've genuinely enjoyed the food and wanted to support this small business. Earlier this week, we ordered the bulgogi for our kids, but the meat was too chewy and tough making it inedible. Wanting to give the restaurant the benefit of the doubt, we ordered the bulgogi again the following day and even requested it be cooked well done. Unfortunately, it had the same too chewy and tough texture, and again, could not be eaten. After feeding the kids something else, bathing them, and putting them to bed, I called the restaurant around 10:00 p.m., but they had already closed. I called the next day, and the owner (a lady with glasses) returned my call. Instead of listening to my concerns, she repeatedly interrupted me and spoke in a passive-aggressive, dismissive manner. I was on speakerphone with four other adults in the car, and everyone commented on how unhelpful and condescending the conversation felt. I explained that I wasn't calling simply to complain - I wanted to share feedback because we genuinely care about the restaurant and have supported it for a long time. I even mentioned that I had previously provided constructive feedback about the takeout bowls, which the restaurant later improved. Before I could finish, she cut me off and said, "We're not talking about the to-go bowls right now, are we? We're talking about your bulgogi." She insisted that if I wanted a refund, I needed to return to the restaurant in person, and that if something was wrong in the future, I should come back immediately so they could remake it. Unfortunately, that's simply not realistic for us. We're staying in a hotel with two young children, and the restaurant is about 40 minutes away. By the time we discovered the problem, got the kids settled, and called, making another round trip would have meant roughly 80 minutes of additional driving with tired, hungry children. I understand that mistakes happen, and I wasn't expecting perfection. What disappointed me most was how the concern was handled. This business does not value customer feedback and will never first listen respectfully, even from repeat customers who have consistently supported and recommended them. Sadly, based on this experience with both the food quality and the customer service, we won't be returning.

One thing we noticed right away was that it was pretty warm inside. I'm not sure if the A/C wasn't on yet or if it was having issues, but it's something to keep in mind if you're visiting during the day. We waited about 5 minutes at the front without seeing any staff or receiving a greeting. Eventually, a server rushed in through the door and was clearly scrambling to get everything set up. After another 5 minutes, she finally seated us. She apologized and explained that the person who was supposed to open didn't show up, so she had to cover everything herself. Throughout our visit, several parties who arrived after us also ended up waiting 10 minutes or more to be seated. That was really the only downside of our experience. The server was doing her best under the circumstances, and it seemed like an unfortunate staffing issue rather than the norm. Now for the food--it was excellent! We originally came for the $5.99 naengmyeon special, and it was absolutely worth it. We also shared the spicy pork and the meat jun, and both dishes were surprisingly delicious. Everything was flavorful, and the portions were satisfying. Overall, I'd definitely come back. Despite the rough start, the food made up for it, and I'm hopeful the staffing situation was just a one-off. Hopefully they'll also get the A/C situation sorted out because that would make the dining experience even better.

Had to call and up the count on our reservation twice, female did that well. They put us in the far back corner and it was warm. Female did come and turn the fan on after a little while, explaining the AC was broken. Fan did help, but I was near the fan. I don't think it reached the folks farther in (there were 8 of us). Three of us ordered the stone pot bibimbap with bulgogi. One wanted to sub BBQ chicken, was told, "no." She had to change her order since she doesn't eat beef. Friend later told me she had been accommodated before, but these seemed to be new owners.) Two ordered BBQ Chicken plates, one the stir fried squid, one kimchee fried rice, one meat jun, a fish jun. Ban Chan came - two sets (one per table of four) of bean sprouts, fish cake, Choi sum, potatoes, kimchee. They were good. Cold water was served, and after a while we were given a pitcher so we could refill our cups, which was good. Food didn't take overly long to come out but wasn't really quick. (There were only two servers and the restaurant filled up quickly.) Stone pot bibimbap flavor was a disappointment. Only gochujung sauce to add, no sesame seed oil, so it was bland. Both of us who got it didn't think it was very tasty. Otherwise, it was nice and hot, and there was plenty of crispy rice after mixing it all up, and it included a raw egg which added some flavor, but not much. I will not get it again. Those with the BBQ chicken said it was tasty and juicy. Meat jun and fish jun was ok. Kimchee fried rice and stir fried squid were very spicy. Flavor was ok. Had to ask for our checks, were told they had only two staff working so they were very busy, but they kindly accommodated four separate checks for the eight of us. Not sure if I'll return. Prices are reasonable for the portion size, but no AC, bland stone pot bibimbap, we're not to my liking.

The premium AYCE option is around $60 per person, which would be reasonable if the quality matched the price. Unfortunately, it doesn't. We're from the Bay Area and have been to countless Korean BBQ restaurants with significantly better meat quality for the same price or less. To make matters worse, even at the highest-priced AYCE tier, fountain drinks aren't included. What really left a bad impression was the automatic 20% gratuity. Our group consisted of two separate parties of three people each. We were seated together at one large table with two grills, but we had separate bills, ordered different AYCE meats option, didn't share food, and made that CLEAR before ordering. The menu states that automatic gratuity applies to parties of five or more, yet we were still charged because we happened to sit together. Had we known this was their policy, we would have chosen another restaurant or sat at different areas of the restaurant. The reason I'm giving two stars instead of one is because our servers were friendly, patient, and knowledgeable. They answered all of our questions about the menu and provided excellent service throughout the meal. Unfortunately, when we brought the gratuity issue to the manager, he insisted we were one large party despite us being separate parties with separate orders and separate checks. At the end of the day, the only difference was that we happened to be sitting at the same table. Overall, the service from the staff was great, but the overpriced food, disappointing meat quality, and questionable gratuity policy make it hard for me to recommend this place.
