Korea time, from recent reviews. Hours may differ on holidays.

A hand-made dumpling house on Samcheong-ro, serving North Korean-style mandu. Families share pots of kimchi- or doenjang-based mandu-jeongol (dumpling hot pot) with a mung-bean pancake on the side. It's a calmer pick when Samcheong-dong Sujebi up the road has a line.
