The 18 Best Dumplings In LA - Los Angeles - The Infatuation

"Lee Ga in Koreatown is known for its chilled buckwheat noodles, which are made fresh and are arguably the main reason to come here. That said, any great meal at this strip mall restaurant isn’t complete without their excellent mandu, available with meat or kimchi filling (you can a mix of both). They’re on the bigger size—roughly the size of your palm—and steamed until their doughy wrapper turns translucent. You’ll see the pork and kimchi filling peek through the tight skins that cling like a wet t-shirt and dribble with spicy juices when you tear into them." - sylvio martins, garrett snyder, cathy park, andrew ryce
