Mapo · Seogyo-dong / North Korean style dumpling house
남북통일
A dumpling and noodle house working in the northern Korean style, where the filling is crushed tofu, pork, mung bean sprouts and courgette rather than glass noodles. The wrappers are folded by hand each morning, and the same kitchen makes beef bone noodle soup and mung bean pancakes. The seasoning is deliberately restrained.
