If you work around Jongno 3-ga or Jonggak Station, you may well have heard of Jongga Mandu, the dumpling hot pot place! My boyfriend works in Jongno, so I asked him, and he said he's been here for team lunches with his coworkers! Everybody likes dumplings, no hard feelings either way, so it's great for a lunch with colleagues, and on a slightly chilly day like these, a hot, hearty broth is just what you want!

I took the photo where there were no people, but the tables further inside had a group reservation, and the other tables filled up quickly too, so it was full! It's a Jongno place with a line, so if you're going at the lunch peak, come a little early or make a reservation like I mentioned!!

### Handmade dumplings, made at the entrance

By the entrance of Jongga Mandu you can watch the dumplings being made. They're not factory dumplings but handmade, so the filling is more generous and really delicious👍 There aren't many places these days where you can watch dumplings being folded, so it felt new to me haha

What I ordered that day was the half-and-half broth hot pot for 2 at ₩28,000 and the fried handmade dumplings at ₩9,000.

## Half-and-half broth hot pot for 2: portion and taste

The half-and-half broth hot pot for 2 comes with 8 handmade dumplings, 4 kimchi and 4 meat, plus vegetables, mushrooms and meat. It was enough for two to eat until full, and we finished with kalguksu (knife-cut noodles).

Wow, do you see how plump these dumplings are……?! Maybe because they're handmade right here, they're packed with filling and looked so good!!💖💖 For 2 servings we got 8 dumplings, 4 kimchi and 4 meat, and it's honestly an amount two people can eat until they burst!! On top of that there were plenty of vegetables, mushrooms and meat to put in the hot pot!

Maybe because we had the clear and spicy broths together, it honestly tasted twice as good, you know?! The dumplings were so moist and the filling so soft and delicious that I kept reaching for more!👍👍

### Finishing with kalguksu noodles

To finish, we added kalguksu noodles. With the vegetable-infused broth, the chewy, soft noodles meeting the broth tasted like something a kalguksu specialist would envy😋

## The owner's recommended fried dumplings: must-order?

The fried handmade dumplings (₩9,000) are the owner's recommendation, and I'd suggest ordering them. Crispy outside, moist inside and bursting with juice, they were the best dumplings I've had recently.

Oh, and the fried dumplings were marked as the owner's recommendation, so I got curious and ordered them?!!? And there's a reason it's recommended. Please order this one.✨✨ They were really crispy, the inside was moist and juicy, and they were the best dumplings I've had lately, so I'd order this again next time I visit!

These also come half meat and half kimchi, with a really generous portion and filling that's truly substantial!! The meat filling was generous, and the kimchi dumplings weren't spicy and were so good I keep thinking about them??
