Paju restaurant near Lotte Outlet for weekday lunch: brisket suyuk
Bubyeokjeong Pyeongyang Mandu is a Pyeongyang-style mandu (dumpling) restaurant in Paju Book City, Gyeonggi, close to Lotte Outlet Paju. Visiting for a weekday lunch with her mom, the writer ordered the pyeongyang mandu hot pot for two with clear broth and a half plate of aromsatae suyuk (thinly sliced boiled beef shank), praising the silky texture of the meat, the mild tofu-and-vegetable dumplings, the self-serve yuja danmuji (citron pickled radish), and the free misutgaru (roasted grain drink). With wide parking, high chairs, and neat side dishes, it's a solid pick for a family meal with elders in tow.
