This post was written in 2019. Shop details and prices may have changed since then.
These days, with everyone so connected, word of a good place spreads in no time. I heard a dumpling shop with serious skills had opened in Mangwon, so I ran right over.
Sunflower seeds..
Something to keep you busy while the dumplings steam..
Vegetable shumai
They know their dumplings. Packed full of filling.
Shiitake mushroom dumplings
You really get that deep shiitake aroma.
Xiaolongbao
The wrappers were a bit thick, which was a slight letdown, but they were still delicious.
I hope a place like this stays around for a long, long time, trends or not.
