    Duk and mandoo gook
    Iris K.

    Just tried this place because my friend was craving sujebi, and I really enjoyed it. I had the duk and mandoo gook, which you can choose whether your mandoo is meat or kimchi mandoo or a combo of both. First time I was asked what type of mandoo I wanted in my soup, which was really nice. My Husband had the pumpkin sujebi, which was really light and tasty. We also shared a combo steamed mandoo appetizer, and the vegetable mandoo was so good! I really enjoyed the food. Everything felt like home cooking/ your grandmother's cooking. I felt like I was eating at home, and I would definitely go back if I am craving sujebi or duk and mandoo gook.

    If you want to taste authentic Korean-style dumplings, I highly recommend this place. As soon as you walk in, you can see the owner handcrafting each dumpling herself. That's how fresh and tender they are, and the taste is reminiscent of homemade dumplings just like mom used to make. It definitely feels like no artificial flavoring is used, so the taste is mild and not overly seasoned. If you're craving traditional Korean-style dumpling soup or kalguksu (hand-cut noodle soup), give this place a try!

    떡만두국 / Rice Cake Dumpling Soup

    Ordered the dumpling soup (mixed dumpling) with rice cake. Came with radish, kimchi, and pickled bean sprouts plus a small cup of barley tea (cold) Everything was tasty but I must say that the service was quite suspicious. I should point out first, that I've ordered delivery from here quite a few times.. First thing that got my attention on their Yelp reviews is the great service and how sweet the servers are. It was cold and rainy so I thought what a great day to pop in and eat at the restaurant.. I didn't receive any of the service everybody was glowing about.. Actually, One of the ladies seemed to go out of her way NOT to serve me; while giving all the groups around me top tier service!! She even went as far as coming directly towards me- I smile and wave her down and ask for napkins (she's looking directly at me) and she turns to pack up to go orders!. I tried to overlook it and just enjoy my food but Sisters Dumpling is a rather small restaurant and she was pretty blatant! The craziest thing was the older lady handed her my check; she started walking towards me then turned back around and hands it back to her.. Note: There wasn't a language barrier because I heard her communicate effectively with another table. I don't know? Sad that stuff like this is still going on in this world!

    This place is an authentic Korean-style dumplings...yes there are plenty of places both in LA and OC but this just makes me keep eating it til it all gone. And of course, what better way than a hot kimchi soup to wash it down with. Just simply delish. The place is small and clustered but well organized and cleanliness. The parking lot is small so plan accordingly. The service felt like being at home and being taken care of. I don't speak nor being a Korean (still Asian) but they treat you very kindly and very helpful. Yup, definitely coming back again for sure.

    Food was good! The ladies were super nice. Service was quick! Soybean noodle didn't taste like I used to have back in Korea. It is just different style ?? Cuz the taste was good. I'd like to come again to try other menu tho. The customers were mostly mid aged Korean. Not too loud. No music. I went there on weekdays for lunch! Parking is easy. If you want to have some Korean noodles but don't want to deal with ktown parking, you can come here!

    Food: this review is long overdue since I have been coming here for a while. This is my mom's favorite place, and she orders one thing - red bean porridge. She says there's no other place in socal that makes the dish as well as they do. Unfortunately, I'm not a big fan of red bean, so I always end up ordering something else like kalgooksu or sujebi, which are decent but not mind-blowing amazing . But for the sake of my lovely mother, this place deserves 5 stars Price: most dishes range $17-20, which I think are pretty average for ktown food nowadays Ambiance: decent sized restaurant with about 10 ish tables inside, I don't think I've seen any non koreans sitting inside every time I came here. Inside is clean and brightly lit with lots of sunlight, vibe is mostly for quick meals with family or casual friends Service: the korean ladies making food and serving are nice, mostly speak exclusively korean, never had issues making my order and getting my dishes Parking: there's a free parking lot in the front associated with the strip mall, where the restaurant is located, there's usually an available spot, not too busy

    Seafood Kalguksu (Seafood Fish Broth and Knife Cut Noodles) very flavorful!
    Kay Y.

    What a cute and wholesome spot! This place is ran and dishes are legitimately made by two sisters lol I was famished after running errands all day. This spot happened to be the closest to me (with parking mind you lol) I tried their Seafood Kalguksu (knife cut noodles/pasta) and the broth was so flavorful. I feel like I got a taste of Korea's entire delicious sea! Lol I think Kalguksu is too hearty for me. I'd def ask to sub for Buckwheat noodles next time. I was so stuffed, I couldn't finish the pasta. But I did eat all the seafood and veggies. Soup was great too! Def give this spot a try if you are near by or feeling adventuring out. Service was so nice and prompt!

    All the banchan! (I ate most of the Kim chee before I remembered to take the photo...)

    Delicious homemade food made by wonderful people right while you eat. Small and quiet, it's nice to sit surrounded by Korean elders and kids and everyone in between. This place is a gem.

    My favorite place. Since a bit far from the center of K town, this place is quiet and easy for parking. They have various authentic food selection including hand made dumplings. Everything is tasty!

    I was on a hunt for Korean kalguksu and stumbled on this little gem! Bonus points for free and plenty parking. They are located in a plaza. I know they are known for their dumplings - even saw an employee hand making them while I was eating there - but I was cold and wanted noodles! Their chicken kalguksu was pretty good. Tasty broth and chewy knife cut noodles. They also gave radish, fish cake, and kimchi as their sides. An employee said the spicy paste was for the soup but I opted against using it. I did find the broth to be more on the bland side in comparison to other kalguksus I've had but still a solid place!

    Comforting, traditional Korean food - every dish is freshly made and so delicious. It's a small restaurant run by two of the sweetest ladies! They prepare each dish with care and it'll be my go-to restaurant when I want Korean soul food. The soybean (seasonal) cold noodle soup was delicious - the nuttiness of the soup broth and noodles was perfectioooon. The pumpkin sujebi soup with handtorn noodles was comforting and filling - love the texture of the sujebi and warming and flavorful broth. Portions are quite generous and filling! Parking lot too

    Just like the restaurant name, there are always lady sisters making dumplings, so we know their dumplings are all made in-house. Nothing to fancy, kinda old atmosphere, the restaurant is not even located in the middle of Ktown. However, this restaurant is one of few you can feel your grandmother cooked for you.

    "Steamed dumpling plate" comes with 10 good sized dumplings. (Spoon added for scale)
    Ann L.

    Good price. Good flavor. Good service. Came in for lunch on a Tuesday. Sat at a table with no wait. Dumplings came out promptly. Beef steamed dumplings and kimchi dumpling soup were tasty. Would like to try the fried and the chive dumplings next time. Not upscale but great for a quick bite.

    Visited Hangari on Saturday evening to try their renown Kalguksu with some friends. I've known that…read morespecific parking lot/strip mall to be a nightmare parking wise, so I bit the bullet and used the on-site valet. There is sometimes street parking but the availability is rough, it's tough to park, and even one of the meters we ended up at just didn't work. They only charge a $5 cash service charge though, which isn't bad. We were lucky to be seated right away, even in a packed restaurant. The restaurant has a surprisingly modern design, and is comfortable for as small as it is. We were quickly served their signature kimchis and barley rice. The kimchi, particularly the yeolmu (young summer radish) kimchi, has a unique flavor profile well suited to their food. We ordered 2 bowls of their plain kalgooksu, 1 bibim milmyun, and 1 tteokbokki. The food came out fairly quickly. The kalgooksu was as expected the star of the show. The anchovy broth brings a savory complexity that seems impossible for a soup made from just dried fish and a few other ingredients. It even has a rich, almost thick, quality to it that is surprising for a fish broth. Their noodles, the titular kalgooksu, have the signature irregularity and chew of knife cut noodles. I appreciate the vegetables that always come in kalgooksu, like potato, pumpkin, and zucchini, which offer an earthy heartiness to the light soup. My only complaint is that the potato is in huge irregular chunks, and is barely cooked, though I feel like I have had this issue with many of the kalgooksu bowls I've had over the years. The bibim milmyun was solid. I think that I prefer the texture and flavor of naengmyeon buckwheat noodles, but the milmyun, which are made with mostly wheat flour, still provide a satisfying chew. The sauce tasted bright and fresh, especially with a splash of added vinegar. It also came with a small side portion of spicy pork and some rice paper to wrap. The tteokbokki was the one let down of the meal. To be fair, I wasn't expecting much out of tteokbokki at all restaurant like this whose specialty is essentially the opposite. I ordered the tteokbokki as a "safe pick" for a picky eater in the group. It turned out to be a bit mediocre in our opinion, and that friend ended up enjoying their kalgooksu anyways. If you're looking to try this dish, it's definitely one of if not the best I've had in Southern California, so I'd totally recommend it. I'll also warn to steer clear of the Garden Grove restaurant of the same name and specialty. I think it's a disappointing mimicry of this place.

We ordered a tonkatsu ramen and a tsukemen which had a choice of cold or hot noodles We did a hot noodle and both dishes were tasty! The tonkatau wasn't overly heavy but just enough to not be bland either which was perfect for my taste Interior was clean and service was awesome. We came on a Sunday early afternoon so we didn't have to wait. Parking is unfortunately just street parking but there's also a lot nearby if you're willing to pay. This place was also dog friendly and my small Maltese was allowed to sit with us even though there was no outdoor dining

    PREMISE: I went to this location on a Wednesday evening at approximately 5PM for a party of two…read more WAIT TIME: We got seated right away! There was not anyone at the restaurant at the time, but people did start trickling in as more time elapsed. We got our food relatively quickly as well. FOOD: I ordered the spicy pork tsukemen ($23.45), which is their dipping noodle. The noodles are thicker than standard ramen, but in a good way! It comes with thick chashu (thick, fatty pork) slices and soft boiled eggs. If you haven't had tsukemen before, you essentially dip your noodles into the broth and then eat it that way. The broth is extremely flavorful and there are also pieces of chashu in it as well. The only critique that I have regarding this is the broth was lukewarm which made the dish taste slightly off. I've tried this dish at another branch and the broth was also lukewarm there, so I'm not sure if this is a location issue or a standard amongst all branches. Also, this dish does not really have any vegetables in this, but I also don't know if traditional tsukemen has veggies included. SERVICE: Service was quick and everyone was nice and doing their job. Didn't seem like the staff was slacking or messing around while there weren't many customers. They were very attentive to us, refilling our water immediately once they saw it was getting low, and being very attentive towards if we had any other concerns or if we needed anything else. PARKING: There technically is street parking but since it's in Little Tokyo, it's going to be very difficult to find it. There's $4-6 valet parking available nearby the location. There are a lot of people walking around though so just be safe. INTERIOR: It's not too big of a place but it's also not too small as well. It looks very well kept and clean. BATHROOM: Two gender neutral bathroom stalls that are both very clean and accessible. No issues here with them. TLDR: Overall, I thought the place was pretty good to eat at! I would definitely come back for the tsukemen (as long as the broth is warmed up until it's hot). A very good dish combined with great music (they have some great Japanese music variety) is definitely a spot worth coming to with friends !! :))

It's been sitting on my saved list for a while, and honestly, this turned out to be the perfect opportunity. The space itself is bright, clean, and welcoming with warm woody tones throughout. Casual setup where you order at the counter and they bring the food out to you. I had already looked through the menu beforehand, so the real challenge was narrowing down what to order for one person. I failed at that... and I'm very happy I did. Started with the Pig Ear Salad 滷豬耳朵. Braised thin sliced pig ears dressed with soy sauce, chili oil, sesame oil, scallion, and cilantro. OMG. So good. Tender, flavorful, perfectly braised, with that satisfying chewy texture done right. Also got the Fried Peanut Salad 五味花生 with garlic, cilantro, scallions, vinegar, and Thai chili. Super crunchy, bright, refreshing, and honestly addicting. I added a cup of the Hot & Sour Soup 酸辣湯 too. Organic tofu, beech mushroom, carrot, bamboo, woodear mushroom, and egg. Super comforting with a really balanced tang and peppery heat. Not overly thick or heavy like a lot of Americanized versions can be. Exactly the kind of soup you want during a long travel day. For noodles, I ordered the Dan Dan Noodles 擔擔麵. Sesame-peanut sauce, cucumber, cilantro, crushed peanuts. Delicious on its own already, but I ended up adding some of the fried peanuts from the salad into the noodles and it became even better. Then the Three Cup Chicken 三杯雞 with sesame oil, soy sauce, rice wine, and Thai basil. I do wish it had a little more wok hei, but overall the flavor was still really comforting and savory. Extremely good with rice. Had a glass of Gewürztraminer alongside everything, which paired surprisingly well with the spice and aromatics. Their wine list leans more organic / natural wine focused, which felt very LA in a good way. Ended up sitting at a high top next to one of the managers and had a great conversation throughout the meal. She ended up hooking me up with the Traditional Shaved Ice 傳統刨冰 with grass jelly, red bean, boba, sweet potato balls, taro balls, brown sugar syrup, and condensed milk. I was already planning to order it anyway, and wow... I finished the entire thing. The brown sugar syrup was incredibly fragrant. Packed the leftovers to-go, and that ended up becoming my dinner after landing in San Francisco later that evening. Flight cancellation somehow turned into a really great food day.

It is self-seating so you'll place the number on your table. They offer some utensils at the tables but it is also self service so you can get your own bowl, plates, utensils and water. FOOD I came with a large group so we ordered a good number of dishes. All the dishes were delicious, flavorful and above and beyond for what I find it to be more a fusion-Asian restaurant. I particularly liked their brown sugar milk team as it comes with boba and grass jelly. And their mochi was SO delicious. This would be a place my parents would enjoy a lot. PARKING It's in downtown LA so parking can be tough. There are plenty of paid parking structures nearby. WOULD I COME BACK? YES!
