Sambong Naengmyun

Yes, we’re suckers for Sambong Naengmyun’s oxtail flavor-rich seolleongtang, but please do yourself a favor and order the pork mandoo, too. Before taking a bite, adjust your dumpling expectations. These steamed Korean dumplings aren’t just massive, they are surprisingly light and balanced with lots of veggies—it’s a refreshing change if you’re used to thicker wrappers and meat-dense variations. After you order at the front of this Duluth restaurant, grab a table and sip on the complimentary warm broth while you wait for your order number to pop up at the pickup counter.
