(16 reviews)Korea’s love of garlic meets local terroir here: dumplings made with Danyang garlic, known for its firm texture and strong aroma. The fillings are boosted with oil rendered from Danyang garlic, and the wrapper is a chewy chapssal (glutinous rice) skin rolled in a way that recalls Chinese changfen. Four varieties are offered — ginseng-galbi, shrimp, kimchi, and — with the ginseng dumpling (whole ginseng stem inside) and the dumpling standing out as local specialties. Staff will serve dumplings hot if you eat in, or let them cool slightly for a chewier texture when packed for takeout.
Local Tips
