Gimbap Jeontong Mandu is a Korea restaurant. Specializes in mandu, as well as gimbap, presumably both traditional (“jeontong”). While signage for Korean restaurants in Korea often emphasize what is served rather than who they are (see for example 13.107 Kongnamul Gukbap), the name of this place is literally what they serve.
Passed by countless times on the way to SFS, always curious to try it out – looks so scrappy, yet still in business after all these years, must be legit.
Alas. The dumplings were okay but generic, as if made in a factory, off-site, like that of a franchise chain.
