Danyang Garlic Mandu (Main Store)
단양마늘만두 본점
The original garlic dumpling shop in Gujeong Market. Its chewy glutinous rice wrappers come with shrimp, beef, and kimchi fillings, and it often sells out.
This is the original garlic dumpling shop inside Gujeong Market. It was featured on the TV program Seomin Gapbu and ranks near the top of Tripadvisor's Danyang restaurant list. The dumpling wrappers contain glutinous rice, which gives them a chewy texture and a faint garlic aroma. The shrimp, beef patty and kimchi fillings each come in an order of eight for about 7,000 won, and the ginseng pork rib filling costs about 10,000 won. Most purchases are takeaway. The shop has only three or four tables, and the usual wait is 10–15 minutes. The kimchi filling is available in limited quantities, and popular flavors may sell out by around 3 pm, so going early is advised. There is no dedicated parking. You can use the market's public lot or the free lot by the Namhan River.
