Northern Wang Mandoo is a restaurant that offers a variety of delectable dumplings and buns. The shrimp chive egg dumplings ($12) are a standout, with bouncy shrimp and a garlicky flavor from the chives. The dumplings have a delicate chew, indicating they are handmade. The menu also features Korean and Chinese staples, such as hotteok ($2.50), which are fresh and delicious, and chive egg pancakes ($3), though the latter may be a bit underseasoned.
The restaurant's signature item is the kimchi buns ($3.50), which are filled with a tangy kimchi mixture that includes pork and glass noodles. The buns are hefty and large, with a proportional dough-to-filling ratio. While the pork-and-cabbage buns may be a bit bland, the kimchi buns are highly recommended.
The restaurant has a glass window where customers can watch the skilled aunties expertly rolling and folding the dough. Although the location is a bit difficult to reach without a car, the quality of the handmade dumplings and buns makes it a worthwhile destination. The staff understand Mandarin and Korean, and the menu is also available in English.
