01 / OUR COMPANY

Rooted in tradition.
Made for today.

Namdofood is a Korean food manufacturer inspired by the rich culinary traditions of Namdo, Korea’s southern region.

Our food draws on our founder’s 32 years of Korean culinary research and experience running a Namdo-style fine dining restaurant in Gangnam. We bring that knowledge to Korean side dishes, prepared meals and regional specialties.

Based in Incheon, South Korea, we connect time-honored recipes with the convenience of modern home meal solutions.
