▲Opening hours: 11:00 — 21:00 every day, closed on Sundays
â–²Price: Seafood cheese dumplings 8,000 won, kishimen noodles 7,000 won
â–²Testimonial (Shikigin QRcode): I went to LG nearby and stopped by a kishimen noodle shop. The yellow sign seemed to be run by a remodeled family home~ I ordered kishimasu and gyo~ The kishin noodles came out of the pot unusually! The amount was really large, and the shrimp was included, so the flavor was amazing… The gyoza contains cheese, and it's soft, chewy, and salty without being objectionable… The dumplings were ordered from us and they said they were all sold out, so I think it would be a good idea to call ahead and check them out!

â–²Review (I went to Shikishin Madang): This is a real Yatap restaurant… Hmm, the price is so cheap, but the quality is amazing. I like gyoza, so I order leek dumplings, and I order the rest of the cravings from time to time. Leek dumplings.. The blood is so fragrant, and I really like the scent of chives…! The fried shrimp dumplings are also delicious, but keep in mind that they can only be eaten on Saturdays!

â–²Location: 111 Baektoro-ro, Gunsan, Jeonbuk
▲Opening hours: 09:00 every day — closed when the dumplings are sold out, closed on Sundays
â–²Price: Kimchi dumplings 4,000 won, meat dumplings 4,000 won
â–²Review (take a close look): Leave a review of Tangtang Dumpling, famous as a gyoza restaurant in Gunsan. There were quite a few people waiting even when they took a break on weekends and went on weekdays. I bought half-and-half gyoza, and the boss was also very kind. The dumplings aren't very unusual, but the ingredients inside are soft and blur smoothly in the mouth. The liver is weak, and the kimchi dumplings aren't spicy at all, so the likes and dislikes seem to be mixed. I have a plan to visit again.
5. 'Dongseungro' in Step-dong, Wonju, the quintessential grilled dumpling on the outside

▲Opening hours: 11:30 — 21:00 every day, closed on Sundays
â–²Price: Roasted dumplings 7,000 won, steamed dumplings 7,000 won
â–²Review (Shikigami Sprinkular): My favorite gyoza restaurant! There are various types of dumplings, grilled dumplings, royal dumplings, soryongpo, etc., but the most famous one is grilled gyoza! It's deep-fried, so it's completely crunchy, but the inside is moist, so you can really enjoy the classic grilled gyoza.
