Gubok Mandu 구복만두

Only four kinds of dumplings leave this snack-bar-style kitchen near Sookmyung Women's University, and it has appeared in the Michelin Bib Gourmand more than once. Gubok jeontong mandu, the house classic, is pan-fried on one side and steamed on the rest, which leaves each piece with a crisp base and a moist top. The shrimp dumplings also hold zucchini, cabbage and mushroom, yet the shrimp aroma leads, wrapped in a fairly thick skin. Xiaolongbao arrive in individual dishes inside the steamer and release hot broth once bitten. A ramp at the entrance helps wheelchairs and strollers, but parking is hard to find.
