Bib Gourmand Jaha Son Mandu
Hand-folded mandu in Buam-dong, paired with a hike up to Bugaksan.
For over two decades, this restaurant has been attracting diners with a rustic dumpling recipe passed down from the owner's mother and her grandmother. Although humble by nature, dumpling dishes are always elegantly presented. Their signature dish is mandutguk: plump pork, bean curd and vegetable dumplings nestled in a delicate beef broth, seasoned with homemade soy sauce. The main dining room offers a spectacular view of nearby Inwangsan Mountain. Jaha Son Mandu has been a Michelin Bib Gourmand selection every year since the Seoul Guide's launch in 2016.
