I love going to this restaurant with my partner, the service is amazing and quick!
The dumplings are freshly made from scratch in an open kitchen.
You also get a lot for a pretty good price for LA!
We love getting the King Steamed Dumplings, the Dim Sum and the Fried Dumplings along with the Steamed ones.
GEM !!! A treasure not to be missed.
At first I thought the prices a bit high. I ordered #8 (pork with spicy shrimp dumplings) Then i watched owner Kilak Kim pull out her dough and her filling and MAKE MY DUMPLINGS TO ORDER! Amazing. Mouth watering and a perfect 10 !!! $1.40 each was so worth it. Cannot wait to come back and try everything else soon. DELICIOUS.
Also. Flash-Frozed dumplings to go.
The food and sides were overall great. We got the
King steam dumplings which were giant and good. The spicy steam roll dumpling were great. The fried dumplings were good. The Korean styled steamed dumplings were amazing and probably my favorite. The only bad thing was the shrimp fried rice. It was not worth the money as the flavor was bland.

The Korean equivalent of dim sum. They also have other excellent traditional Korean dishes. Service is great. Plenty of parking.
If you want to good Korean food or dumplings this is the place to go.
Side note: I trust Anthony Bourdain's opinion.
Always delicious. When I'm in town I always come here for the food. #2 and #3 are a favourite. The beef rib soup always hits the spot. Make sure to come before 7pm as they close at 8 and will start only doing take out sometime after 7pm.
Please do yourself a huge favor and make this your dumpling destination. We came hungry and still had leftovers. WOW! Hits all the flavor profiles. Menu is not extensive but what they do have on the menu they do it beautifully. Chefs kiss! Seating is limit.
The place was relatively empty when we came in but we noticed that a lot of people did take out instead of dining in like we did. Overall, I enjoyed the food! It felt very homey and the service was great. The refills on small dishes was a plus and the worker was very attentive.
We tried the kimchi filled buns (#2) which was rather lacking but we found items #3 (spicy steam roll dumpling) and #4 (shaomai) to be exceptional! #3 is definitely the winner out of the three items we ordered. I would come back to order that dish and possibly their fried and boiled dumplings next time!
Looking forward to the next time I'm back in ktown 🤤
The dumplings here are delicious! It's a tiny place in a nondescript strip mall, and we would have never seen or known about it if we didn't see it on Anthony Bourdain's show. So worth the drive to find it.
Anthony Bourdain was right about this Koreatown foodie palace…the KIMCHI and PORK DUMPLINGS were phenomenal 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽 very satisfying but still light. I promise they won’t weigh you down! And I had to try a noodle dish - Nothing like a warm bowl of pork dumpling clear noodles to wash it all down and add more tasty to the party 🎉 . The establishment treated me as a long time customer never making me feel out of place or unwanted which sometimes you feel when you walk into a new neighborhood. I’ve had this spot on my mind for months while in Chicago - so glad I finally scratched that itch to annihilate the BEST DUMPLINGS IN LA. I would gladly fly into LA just for the dumplings alone 🥟
Stopped by to get ‘wang mandu’ on our way back home to north. Always tastes great. Also got several bags of frozen mandu to cook at home
