Mandu’s Giant Front Window Smashed Early This Morning – Not a Robbery, Pure Vandalism. Let’s Show Them (and all your favorite local spots) Some LOVE TODAY!

By Prince Of Petworth

453 K Street, NW

“Mandu
Family-run Korean Restaurant in the District of Columbia. Opened in 2006 by Chef Yesoon Lee with son Danny & daughter Jean.”

See their magnificent menus here.

Incredibly frustrating report from Mandu’s Danny Lee:

“As if running a small business isn’t hard enough these days, we have to deal with this nonsense. At 6:15 this morning a small group (hard to pick out on our cameras) threw an object through the main front window of Mandu. That’s it – nobody came in, nothing was stolen, etc. Just breaking a window to break a window.

We will get this window replaced and if we have to have an ugly board up for a day or two, so be it. The most important thing is that nobody was hurt and we are all safe.

It will take more than a group of idiots breaking a window to keep us from opening. However, if you’re reading this, please realize how tough it is for small businesses across this city and country right now. Most are barely hanging on, and something like this (especially on a Friday leading into a weekend) could potentially be the last straw. Unfortunately I have the experience of going through something like this enough times where we know how to handle things economically and move quickly in order to open, but the majority of small businesses owners do not.
