The name Guomandu means dumplings made with dough aged for nine hours and prepared through a five-step process. The restaurant gained nationwide recognition after being featured on the TV show "Masters of Living" in the dumpling segment.
Guomandu's signature Saengjeonpo refers to dumplings grilled on only one side, resulting in a juicy filling, a crispy bottom like fried dumplings, and a soft, steamed bun-like top.
The main products are four pieces of Gogi Yuksu Saengjeonpo (10,000 KRW) and four pieces of Saeu Yuksu Saengjeonpo (12,000 KRW).
