It's the most delicious food I've had on a business trip to the US. The galbitang is more delicious than any galbitang restaurant in Korea. These days, there are no such large and delicious king dumplings even in Korea. I travel to many cities in the U.S. on business trips, but I always worry about food when I come to Chicago, and now I've finally found a good restaurant.

The employee that took my order was super nice. However, I guess I didn’t look carefully when I ordered. I got the triple dumpling soup that comes with no noodles. The triple dumpling soup comes with 3 traditional, 3 beef, and 3 kimchi. Dumplings were well made and did not taste like the frozen ones from a grocery store. In fact, the dumplings were very juicy and the fillings were perfectly cooked. It was very expensive for what I received. It’s about 3 for me, I would have liked to see at least a bowl of white rice accompany my meal. Since, the older woman was very kind. I’ll give this place a 4. Just remember, to order another dish if you do decide to get a dumpling soup.

I love What A Dumplings! From their steamed traditional and kimchi mandoo to meat jumbo dumplings and dumpling soups!I went there today and they have new menu Beef Short rib soup (Gal bi tang) and Stir fried spicy squid dish. We bought Beef short rib soup to go to try at home. It was delicious as we would eat it in LA Korean Town in Cali.We are going back for the Beef short rib soup and Fried dumplings Man doo) next week!

My favorite place to get dumplings! Best korean dumplings in the Chicagoland area! The staff is very friendly, the service is great, and the food is amazing! They also have frozen dumplings for you to purchase which are perfect for when you are in a rush and need to make a quick snack at home!

Please please please Don't tell anyone that there is a food court inside Super H mart!Food court is good overall if you know what you are looking for. I'm a "white" American, born and raised in the Chicago area and one thing I learned a long time ago is in ethnic restaurants if that ethnicity is well represented in the customers then the food must be good. That definitely applies here. You can get a variety of different types of food and sit and enjoy the ambience, okay, yes you are sitting in a grocery store but that's the point! My 11 year old granddaughter, who is 1/2 Mexican and 1/2 European, loves to go there and try different foods.

Stopped at H-mart today with 2 friends and we all ate here for lunch. Overall it was really good, I had the galbi-tang and my girlfriend had a spicy ramen with dumplings in it. Both were very good, mine came with rice and kimchi which was appreciated. I do wish the sliced egg shown in the example was included, though. I didn't get a lot of beef, either, mostly just bone. But the kimchi was excellent, probably the best I've had. The broth mixed with the rice at the end was delicious. Galbi-tang is great if you're not feeling well and it's full of vitamins. Everyone enjoyed their food. Saw someone get a whole order of dumplings and they looked incredible, too.

I have sampled various types of dumplings and galbitang (short rib soup) from a variety of restaurants in different states, and I've found that I particularly favor the dumplings and galbitang at What A Dumpling. The dumplings from this restaurant are the only ones I truly savor.Furthermore, I must commend the exceptional service and the kindness of the owner at What A Dumpling.

Some of the best dumplings I’ve ever had. Truly an amazing experience. As someone who enjoys trying new things this definitely tickled my fancy. The fried dumping and steamed buns are a definite must. 10/10 would eat again.
