There’s a place right next to Itaewon, at the foot of Namsan, that’s known for good mandu, so I went to check it out. Lately it’s been mandu, naengmyeon and gukbap on repeat..

Itaewon scenery..

I took the route up through Haebangchon and then back down again.

Haebangchon

Haebangchon

I couldn’t help thinking this might be the best view in all of Seoul..

Sandong Mandu

A mandu specialist in a spot like this..

Menu

Ten pieces sounds like a lot, but the portions aren’t that big, so feel free to order plenty.

Pan-fried shrimp mandu

Well.. they know what they’re doing.. Frozen mandu is pretty good these days, but for mandu with this much character you have to seek out a specialist.

piknic

I popped in on the way back, and it was lovely.
