Myeongdong Gyoza Kalguksu - Korean Restaurant (Bloor)

Kalguksu

Hand-cut wheat noodles in a milky, anchovy-kelp broth — the noodles have enough chew to hold the soup without going soft, and the stock is clean and deeply savory

Mandu (Steamed Dumplings)

Plump Korean dumplings with a thin, delicate wrapper and well-seasoned pork and vegetable filling — steamed to order and served with a soy dipping sauce

Manduguk

Dumpling soup — the same house mandu served in a light, clear broth, a gentler alternative to the kalguksu for those who want dumplings as the star

Pan-Fried Mandu (Gunmandu)

The same filling as the steamed version but crisped on the bottom to a golden crust — textural contrast that makes them worth ordering alongside the soup
