I ordered bibim kalguksu, steamed dumplings, and fried dumplings instead of its familiar dumpling hot pot, and the bibim kalguksu and crispy fried-dumpling pairing stood out. Verdict: Definitely add the bibim kalguksu alongside dumplings at Jongga Mandu. ## Good to know - **Address**: 1F, 88 Supyo-ro, Jongno-gu, Seoul, South Korea (서울 종로구 수표로 88 1층) - **Hours**: Mon–Sat 11:00–21:30; break 15:30–17:00; last orders 14:30 and 20:30 - **Sunday hours**: 11:00–16:00; last order 13:00 - **Parking**: Paid parking is available at nearby Jongno Sejong Parking Lot - **Amenities**: Groups welcome, high chairs, takeout, reservations, Wi-Fi - **Dumpling hot pot**: ₩13,000 - **Bibim kalguksu**: ₩12,000 - **Steamed dumplings**: ₩9,000 - **Fried dumplings**: ₩9,000 *as written by the visitor on Sep 10, 2026* ![Jongga Mandu representative image](https://img.superchart.com/images/jongno-mandu-bibimkalguksu-jongga/jongno-mandu-bibimkalguksu-jongga-01-yy956-1200.webp) The place I had visited a few times for dumpling hot pot near Jongno 3-ga Station, Seonggyeong Mandu Yori Jeonmungjeom, had changed its name to Jongga Mandu (종가만두). Seonggyeong Mandu had long been famous in Jongno 3-ga for dumpling hot pot, and it was one of my favorite spots for it—so I was startled, wondering if it had disappeared! Luckily, it is continuing on under the new name Jongga Mandu, so I went to check it out. Jongga Mandu uses handmade dumplings folded fresh every morning, so you can really taste the clean, satisfying flavor of dumplings packed full of filling. ## Jongga Mandu location and visit information in Jongno 3-ga It is quite easy to get to, too. It is about a five-minute walk from Exit 15 of Jongno 3-ga Station and about six minutes from Exit 4 of Euljiro 3-ga Station. If you are driving, paid parking is available at the nearby Jongno Sejong Parking Lot, but personally, I think public transit would be more convenient. ## A 6:30 p.m. wait and the restaurant atmosphere When I arrived at 6:30 in the evening, every table was full, but turnover was faster than I expected, so I got in after about five minutes. ![Visiting Jongga Mandu in the evening](https://img.superchart.com/images/jongno-mandu-bibimkalguksu-jongga/jongno-mandu-bibimkalguksu-jongga-02-1u0u3-900.webp) ![Jongga Mandu restaurant in the evening](https://img.superchart.com/images/jongno-mandu-bibimkalguksu-jongga/jongno-mandu-bibimkalguksu-jongga-03-154sg-900.webp) There were so many people that it was hard to take proper photos of the interiorㅠㅠ Still, seeing how many people came here only made me look forward to the meal more :) ![Inside Jongga Mandu](https://img.superchart.com/images/jongno-mandu-bibimkalguksu-jongga/jongno-mandu-bibimkalguksu-jongga-04-f1ytx-900.webp) ![Inside Jongga Mandu](https://img.superchart.com/images/jongno-mandu-bibimkalguksu-jongga/jongno-mandu-bibimkalguksu-jongga-05-1d1zi-900.webp) The self-service bar is neatly stocked with basic side dishes and all kinds of tableware. Just help yourself if you need more. ![Basic side dishes at the Jongga Mandu self-service bar](https://img.superchart.com/images/jongno-mandu-bibimkalguksu-jongga/jongno-mandu-bibimkalguksu-jongga-06-145e1-900.webp) ![Jongga Mandu self-service bar and tableware](https://img.superchart.com/images/jongno-mandu-bibimkalguksu-jongga/jongno-mandu-bibimkalguksu-jongga-07-1sha4-900.webp) ## Jongga Mandu’s menu and dumpling hot pot options ![Jongga Mandu dumpling hot pot menu information](https://img.superchart.com/images/jongno-mandu-bibimkalguksu-jongga/jongno-mandu-bibimkalguksu-jongga-08-18snc-1280.webp) *Source: Jongga Mandu Naver* ![Jongga Mandu menu information](https://img.superchart.com/images/jongno-mandu-bibimkalguksu-jongga/jongno-mandu-bibimkalguksu-jongga-09-16bxi-1280.webp) *Source: Jongga Mandu Naver* Jongga Mandu, a handmade dumpling hot pot spot near Jongno 3-ga Station, offers several varieties of dumpling hot pot. You can choose the clean, mild clear-broth version; the spicy version with an appealing kick; a half-and-half broth hot pot that lets you enjoy both; or the spicy beef-brisket hot pot. Each hot pot comes generously loaded with handmade dumplings, vegetables, mushrooms, beef, and kalguksu (knife-cut noodles), and at ₩13,000, the value is good too. There are plenty of other dishes as well, including Korean soybean kalguksu, bibim kalguksu, and joraengi rice-cake dumpling soup :) ## The day I ordered three dishes Soy sauce and pepper were set out at every table, so it was easy to season the food to your taste. ![Soy sauce and pepper on the table](https://img.superchart.com/images/jongno-mandu-bibimkalguksu-jongga/jongno-mandu-bibimkalguksu-jongga-10-1fxrd-900.webp) The basic side dishes were fresh geotjeori (lightly seasoned fresh kimchi) and danmuji (pickled radish)! But the geotjeori was what really caught my eye here! It was crunchy and deliciously seasoned—honestly, such a gem!!!! It went so well with dumpling hot pot :) ![Geotjeori and pickled radish side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/jongno-mandu-bibimkalguksu-jongga/jongno-mandu-bibimkalguksu-jongga-11-19pat-900.webp) This time, I ordered three dishes in total! I had already tried the dumpling hot pot several times, so I thought, let’s order dishes I do not usually get instead! The three I picked were steamed dumplings, fried dumplings, and bibim kalguksu. Which one was the tastiest? Let me introduce them one by one! 🥟💕 ![Ordered dumplings and bibim kalguksu](https://img.superchart.com/images/jongno-mandu-bibimkalguksu-jongga/jongno-mandu-bibimkalguksu-jongga-12-8nkbj-966.webp) ![The three ordered dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/jongno-mandu-bibimkalguksu-jongga/jongno-mandu-bibimkalguksu-jongga-13-jy1bf-966.webp) ## Bibim kalguksu paired with fried dumplings ### Bibim kalguksu ₩12,000 ![Bibim kalguksu topped with fried dumplings](https://img.superchart.com/images/jongno-mandu-bibimkalguksu-jongga/jongno-mandu-bibimkalguksu-jongga-14-1jqm0-966.webp) Bibim kalguksu is chewy knife-cut noodles mixed with a nutty, sweet sauce! 🤤 Best of all, it came topped with two seriously crispy fried dumplings, so it looked delicious from the start. The sweet and nutty sauce worked beautifully with the chewy noodles, and eating them with the crisp dumplings added another layer of texture—it was such a special dish. Being able to enjoy chewy noodles and crisp dumplings in one bite made this one I really, really enjoyed! ❤️ ![Bibim kalguksu and fried dumpling pairing](https://img.superchart.com/images/jongno-mandu-bibimkalguksu-jongga/jongno-mandu-bibimkalguksu-jongga-15-1es3g-966.webp) The combination of the nutty sesame oil in the bibim kalguksu, the sweetness of the sauce, and the crunch of the fried dumplings was honestly amazing.. First, the sesame oil’s nutty aroma came through gently, then the sweet sauce clung nicely to the chewy kalguksu noodles, and I just kept reaching for more. With the crunch of the fried dumplings on top, I got chewy, nutty, and crispy textures all at once, plus the fragrant perilla leaf—such a treat. If I came with a group and everyone ordered hot pot, I would absolutely order this as a side, haha. ![Crispy fried dumplings on the side](https://img.superchart.com/images/jongno-mandu-bibimkalguksu-jongga/jongno-mandu-bibimkalguksu-jongga-16-cky5s-966.webp) ![Fried dumplings with bibim kalguksu](https://img.superchart.com/images/jongno-mandu-bibimkalguksu-jongga/jongno-mandu-bibimkalguksu-jongga-17-17cs3-900.webp) They did not get soggy at all—they stayed properly crisp...... ![Fried dumplings cut into small pieces to eat](https://img.superchart.com/images/jongno-mandu-bibimkalguksu-jongga/jongno-mandu-bibimkalguksu-jongga-18-1kns0-900.webp) They told me to cut the fried dumplings into small pieces like this, so I cut up the noodles too and scooped them up together. I regretted being the version of myself who had only ever eaten the hot pot! Seonggyeong Mandu—no, Jongga Mandu—is a great dumpling hot pot spot in Jongno 3-ga, but the dumplings with bibim noodles are truly delicious too. ## Steamed dumplings packed with filling ### Steamed dumplings ₩9,000 ![Jongga Mandu steamed dumplings](https://img.superchart.com/images/jongno-mandu-bibimkalguksu-jongga/jongno-mandu-bibimkalguksu-jongga-19-12uta-900.webp) The steamed dumplings were, as expected from handmade dumplings, insanely good…! 🤤 From the first bite, I could really feel the pleasantly chewy dumpling wrapper and the abundant flavor of the filling. They were packed full, yet every ingredient came together so well—so delicious. They were not aggressively seasoned, but had a clean flavor and plenty of savoriness that kept me reaching for another one! Maybe because they are folded by hand, they definitely felt different from ordinary dumplings. Can you see how full that kimchi dumpling is?? What more is there to say...... ![Kimchi dumpling packed with filling](https://img.superchart.com/images/jongno-mandu-bibimkalguksu-jongga/jongno-mandu-bibimkalguksu-jongga-20-4ua0k-966.webp) ## Crispy fried dumplings that tasted freshly fried ### Fried dumplings ₩9,000 ![Jongga Mandu fried dumplings](https://img.superchart.com/images/jongno-mandu-bibimkalguksu-jongga/jongno-mandu-bibimkalguksu-jongga-21-8hj73-966.webp) I had especially high expectations for the fried dumplings!! From the very first bite, their crunch was incredible! 🤤 The outside was fried to a beautiful golden brown and was properly crisp, while the filling was moist and mild, so I kept reaching for them. They were especially delicious while warm, as though they had just come out of the fryer—the crispy texture really came alive. They were good on their own, but a light dip in soy sauce added a savory salty note and another kind of appeal. Anyone who loves crispy fried food would be very satisfied! 👍 These candies did not mean anything, but they were cute, so I took a photo haha. ![Candies photographed at Jongga Mandu](https://img.superchart.com/images/jongno-mandu-bibimkalguksu-jongga/jongno-mandu-bibimkalguksu-jongga-22-15r1p-900.webp) ![Cute candies photographed at Jongga Mandu](https://img.superchart.com/images/jongno-mandu-bibimkalguksu-jongga/jongno-mandu-bibimkalguksu-jongga-23-gkqgd-900.webp) ![Dishes ordered at Jongga Mandu](https://img.superchart.com/images/jongno-mandu-bibimkalguksu-jongga/jongno-mandu-bibimkalguksu-jongga-24-cjrdo-900.webp) This time, instead of the dumpling hot pot I always get, I ordered steamed dumplings, fried dumplings, and bibim kalguksu for something different! All three were delicious, but the pairing of crispy fried dumplings and bibim kalguksu was particularly memorable. 🤤 It is a great option before or after an outing in Ikseon-dong, Cheonggyecheon, or Insadong, and its mild, clean flavors also make it a fine choice for nearby office workers at lunch or for a drink with dinner. When you are craving dumpling hot pot in Jongno 3-ga, I really recommend Jongga Mandu (formerly Seonggyeong Mandu Yori Jeonmungjeom)! ## Where it is - Jongga Mandu (종가만두) (종가만두) - 1F, 88 Supyo-ro, Jongno-gu, Seoul, South Korea (서울 종로구 수표로 88 1층) - 서울특별시 종로구 수표로 88 1층 종가만두 - 37.5689062, 126.9896787 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%A2%85%EA%B0%80%EB%A7%8C%EB%91%90/@37.5689062,126.9896787,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@weekday-menu-clip/jongno-mandu-bibimkalguksu-jongga/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
