So delicious

As pierogi is a typical Polish dish, we really wanted to try some. Luckily this restaurant has 4 types of vegan pierogi, a vegan soup and vegan side-salads.

The portions were large enough to share so we ordered the one with a herby soymeat mixture, the smoked tofu/chantarelle/hazelnut and the deep-fried one with spicy mango sauce. All of them were quite different and extremely delicious. The non-fried pierogi were served with a vegan mayonnaise, but I'd say it's more of a herby sour cream which went really well with the doughy meaty pierogi.
On the side we got the sauerkraut which was amazing and a good refreshment in between the hearty pierogi.

Three plates and a salad shared between the two of us was more than enough, if you're not that hungry I would advise ordering two plates.

It was not very busy when we visited. However, since all orders are freshly made by hand only after ordering, waiting time is minimum of 25 minutes. You can order a soup to enjoy in the mean time, or just bring a card game with you to play until the order is done!

Good food!

Usually long lines so we thought we'll see what the fuss is about. And yes, very tasty pierogi! Try on a weekday for lunch, when they're less busy.

They have a vegan soup too right now.

Good food, LONG wait

While my family and I really enjoyed our orders of vegan pierogi and the creamy carrot & ginger soup, it took about 40 minutes to get a table (most of which spent outside in line), and another 40 minutes to get our food, which obviously wasn't ideal...but does illustrate how popular this establishment is.
So if you have the time and patience, definitely give it a go, otherwise, maybe get takeaway?

Cons: Long wait

Empfehlenswert

Das Mandu ist sehr gut besucht, daher muss man definitiv einen Tisch reservieren. Wir haben leider keinen Platz bekommen und haben das Essen daher mitgenommen, was auch kein Problem war. Generell war das Personal nett und das Essen gut. Es gibt vier vegane Pierogi, also nicht viel Auswahl, aber durchaus genug.

Great pierogi

This was very good! They have around 4 savory vegan options. I took the ones with soy meat and they were 10/10. Also tried the ones with chickpeas and tomatoes, also very good. Big portions. The best part is that they are not the usual boring options with potatoes or mushrooms, they have actual vegan ingredients like soy meat, cheese etc. Recommend!

Pros: Many vegan options, Interesting recipies, Big portions

Cons: You may need to wait in line but that’s ok

Vegane alternativen

Die veganen alternative wahr sehr lecker und sättigen leider wahr es nicht möglich die Sorten zu mixen dadurch wahr man gezwungen immer 10 stücke der selben Sorten zu wählen. Die Suppen wahr ebenfalls sehr lecker sind aber definitiv nicht nötig um satt zuwerden.
Das Personal wahr sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Am Abend solte mann jedoch mit 20 Minuten Wartezeit für eine Tisch rechnen. Das Essen hat aber voll und ganz überzeugt.

Pros: Auswahl , Personal, Ambiente

Cons: Keine mixe, Etwas die wahrte Zeit

Great

Clearly labeled vegan options (2 savory dumplings and 2 sweet options - strawberry and blueberry. Vegan sweet dumplings means it was served without sour cream as topping). Savory were delicious

Incredible

Im not allowed to give 5 stars, because they are not fully vegan/vegetarian. But:
Best food we had in Gdańsk so far. The traditional vegan option, boiled pierogi with cabbage, mushrooms and onion was amazing. Staff were also extremely friendly and accommodating. They had a whole vegan section on the menu, but you could find more if you looked in other sections that could be altered to be vegan. Even though we didn’t have to wait, there was a line the whole time we were there, but it moved kind of fast. But if we came back, we would be more than happy to stand in line for this food.

Pros: Amazing food quality, Friendly service, Multiple vegan options, clearly marked

Cons: There might be a waiting time for a table

Good fried pierogies

Very good fried pierogies🤩

We also had the cabbage and mushroom one with the vegan mayonaise. But it was not as good. And i dont know if we got the right sauce, because it was a bit garlic tasting.. so i sat a bit worried while eating. My boyfried who hade a non vegan garlic sauce with his pierogies said it was not the same sauce at least. But weird to have garlic and green stuff in a mayonaise🫣

We also had the sweet blueberry ones, which we didn’t like that much.

Pierogiiiiii

Wow they had 3 vegan options. I choose the fried ones and also the girl recommend it. It was a good choice. Very good filling with nuts and soy meat. And the sauce mango I believe was very tasty. There was a line bit it took less then 5 minutes. Helpful staff.

A few interesting vegan options

This dish is found a couple times on the menu, but without a name. They are vegan deep-fried dumplings, much like wontons, that have tofu, coriander, agave syrup, hazelnuts, soy sauce, and lime juice. The dough is very well fried, with a nice crisp. The spicy mango dipping sauce tastes amazing. Compared to the steamed dumplings we had, there was relatively less filling compared to the dough. Obviously, these are not like traditional pierogi, but that's not what they are going for at this restaurant. It was nice to have vegan options at this restaurant! Price is a little elevated compared to the milky bars in the area, but you are paying for ambience and an eclectic menu. Would probably go here again, but wished they had more vegan options.

Good food but get there early!

Vegan food clearly labelled on the menu and easy location to find. We arrived around 3pm on Saturday and the queue was halfway down the road. We waited about 20 minutes but, as the queue hasn’t moved, we decided to order on Glovo instead. I can’t fault the food but suggest getting to the restaurant early.

Generous vegan pierogi

What a treat to have a two vegan options to try traditional polish cuisine : cabbage filling or mushroom & buckwheat filling pierogis. Both flavourful and satisfying. I wanted to go back but the line outside kept me from doing that.

Pros: Flavourful , Cozy restaurant

Cons: Waiting time

Tastiest pierogi I had throughout the entire trip

Truly the best pierogi I had all throughout my travels through Poland. Even better than the ones I had in restaurants in Warsaw (and also for a better price)! The service was good, welcoming and helpful.

There were lots of options so I had a hard time choosing. I ended up picking the potato and natural tofu pierogi and loved them. A friend had the more traditional ones (with vegan cheddar!) and they were delicious, too. Really satisfying, filling food that just heals the soul and feels nostalgic even if you're not Polish and its your first time having pierogi.

Pros: Excellent flavours, Great vibe, Helpful service

Cons: Long queues

The best pierogi in the world

This is by far the best pierogi I have ever had (and I’ve had a lot!). The vegan options were amazing. We had the tofu potato boiled pierogi, veggie mince, cheese and pickles baked pierogi and blueberry pierogi after (which we had to take away as the portion sizes are massive). The staff are super friendly and kind as well which is so nice. I would definitely recommend Mandu and I’ll be back!

Amazing!

So I only had the vegan white vegetable soup, and the pierogi russki(potato pierogis) but they were incredible with the caramelized onions! It’s a little pricy for your typical pierogi place but the portion is really big. I had no business eating 10 pierogis and soup by myself! This place gets busy so plan ahead!

Pros: Separate vegan menu section. , Tasty pierogis , A multitude of vegan options.

Excellent price-quality and friendly, English-speaking staff

I had a coconut & white-vegetable soup, soy-protein pierogi and saurkraut, all of which were excellent. Especially the soup was unexpectedly good. The staff was very friendly and spoke excellent English. We went on Sunday evening around 20h00 and did not have to wait to get a table for 2.

Pros: Very friendly, English speaking staff, Many different options, Possibility to take-away leftovers

Very good!!

Vegan section on the menu, nice staff.
I opted for the potatoes tofu version as I wanted something more traditional, plus a carrot salad. Had a prosecco with violett syrop and blueberries.
The food came faster than expected.
There was a queue when I arrived (maybe arround 8:30), they had a waiting list which I thought was nice. The place is big, has seats outside also, so it wasn’t a very long wait. And it was Friday evening. I am happy I went and had the chance to try something traditional.

Pros: Well organized, No blink on my request for a table for one, Food came fast

Fancy pierogi ^ ^

Cool recipes, very nice presentation, big portions too. Tried the thai pierogi and the carrot-apple salad, both very tasty!
Avoid the coffee however, it was pretty bad.
