Mandulia — Restaurant in Ho Chi Minh City

We've eaten here twice at lunchtime. We liked it enough initially to visit again promptly and the second meal, enjoyed today, was even better than the first. Steamed Pork & Chive dumplings are excellent. The Mapo Tofu is a spicy delight. The Eggplant found it's way to our table on both visits and I have a feeling it will be there again on our third--seemed somehow different and better the second time. We happily accepted a second helping of the pickled daikon. Cucumber Salad and Fried Shrimp Dumplings left nothing to complain about. On our first visit we indulged in the Sticky Sweet Potato dessert and it was yummy. The atmosphere is relaxed and peaceful, which could also describe the gracious hostess. The menu is concise, which I welcome because I believe I'm more likely to get fresh dishes and ones that the restaurant truly excels at. Prices are reasonable. We're lucky to live within easy...

The food is ok, it’s northern Chinese food with a bit of Korean fusion. The mapo tofu is a bit too sweet for me, and the dumplings were either too salty or too bland, not well balanced.

Despite all that I would probably come back again if I’m craving dumplings because it’s quite hard to find this style in this city.

The atmosphere and service are good, no complaints there. Well decorated and feels a bit like...

Chinese-Korean food that hits the spot. The owners are a Chinese-Korean couple and you can taste the care and experience in the food. Other Chinese people were dining in when we were there.

Highly recommend the mapo tofu, which has actual Sichuan peppercorns in it. Fairly priced for Thao Dien.

Not to mention the place is kept clean and air...
