Because there is a line even at weekday lunch, this visit started right at the 11am opening, with two servings of Pyeongyang mandu hot pot (28,000 won), Korean beef jjabagi (14,000 won) and kids' mandu soup (6,000 won), all in the mild, non-spicy broth. The food at Bubyeokjeong Pyeongyang Mandu tasted clean and refined enough to earn compliments when bringing older parents along. ## Good to know - **Hours**: Daily 11:00–21:00 - **Break time**: 14:30–17:00 (none on weekends) - **Last order**: 20:00 - **Pyeongyang mandu hot pot**: 28,000 won - **Korean beef jjabagi**: 14,000 won - **Kids' mandu soup**: 6,000 won - **Parking**: Available - **Good to know**: High chairs available, groups welcome - **Self-service bar**: Self-serve side dishes; misutgaru (roasted grain drink) and rice crackers after the meal *as written by the visitor on Sep 15, 2026* > Everyone carries a piece of their hometown somewhere in their heart. The hometown carved into us as children stays warm no matter how much time passes or the world changes. Bubyeokjeong Pyeongyang Mandu began from my grandfather's lifelong longing for his hometown — the banks of the Daedong River in Pyeongyang and the Bubyeokru pavilion beside it. — From the Bubyeokjeong Pyeongyang Mandu introduction ## What is Bubyeokjeong Pyeongyang Mandu?

Sadly the quota was already filled by the time we got there so we missed out, but keep an eye out for this kind of event :p ## Pyeongyang mandu hot pot for two, in the mild broth ![Pyeongyang mandu hot pot broth and vegetable ingredients](https://img.superchart.com/images/paju-unjeong-mandu-hotpot-open-run/paju-unjeong-mandu-hotpot-open-run-15-1tx0q-966.webp) The Pyeongyang mandu hot pot comes with the broth and ingredients served separately, shabu-shabu style — you add vegetables and dumplings yourself. The vegetables were incredibly fresh and generous; we ordered for two and it was genuinely filling. ![Pyeongyang mandu hot pot simmered with vegetables](https://img.superchart.com/images/paju-unjeong-mandu-hotpot-open-run/paju-unjeong-mandu-hotpot-open-run-16-1syki-966.webp) ![Mild-flavor mandu hot pot broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/paju-unjeong-mandu-hotpot-open-run/paju-unjeong-mandu-hotpot-open-run-17-gkntg-966.webp) ![Hot pot with wide Pyeongyang mandu added](https://img.superchart.com/images/paju-unjeong-mandu-hotpot-open-run/paju-unjeong-mandu-hotpot-open-run-18-114sr-966.webp) There's a spicy or mild broth option — we went with mild, and it felt like a proper health-boosting meal. The table next to us ordered spicy and it looked amazing too, warning. I'll have to try the spicy version next time^^ They add mandu partway through, already cooked so there's no need to boil it for long. The wide, generously filled Pyeongyang mandu is the real charm here, adding great depth to the hot pot. ![Knife-cut noodles to add to the hot pot](https://img.superchart.com/images/paju-unjeong-mandu-hotpot-open-run/paju-unjeong-mandu-hotpot-open-run-19-12kzs-966.webp) Add the knife-cut noodles that come with it and simmer — instant delicious kalguksu (knife-cut noodle soup)! Eaten with kimchi, it disappears in no time~ ![Kalguksu noodles simmered in the hot pot broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/paju-unjeong-mandu-hotpot-open-run/paju-unjeong-mandu-hotpot-open-run-20-1hffb-966.webp) ## Korean beef jjabagi, 14,000 won: pick it if you like yukgaejang ![Korean beef jjabagi served in a stone pot](https://img.superchart.com/images/paju-unjeong-mandu-hotpot-open-run/paju-unjeong-mandu-hotpot-open-run-21-326p1-966.webp) The Korean beef jjabagi is a stone-pot dish with Korean beef and dumplings in yukgaejang (spicy beef soup) broth. The spicy yukgaejang broth makes you devour a whole bowl of rice~ There's so much beef in it that if you love yukgaejang, this is a must-pick :p Eating the beef jjabagi made me think the spicy mandu hot pot must be great too~ As the weather gets colder, this is the place to come whenever you're craving mandu hot pot :p ## Dining with kids: mandu soup for 6,000 won ![Kids' mandu soup with two Pyeongyang mandu](https://img.superchart.com/images/paju-unjeong-mandu-hotpot-open-run/paju-unjeong-mandu-hotpot-open-run-22-1yow8-966.webp) We visited with a child and ordered the kids' mandu soup — the broth is nicely savory, good enough to just pour rice into. It also comes with two whole Pyeongyang mandu, making for a hearty little meal~ ## Why Bubyeokjeong works for a meal with older parents Clean, refined mandu hot pot — that's Bubyeokjeong Pyeongyang Mandu. As the weather turns cool, I find myself craving hot soupy dishes more often. If you're looking for a great mandu hot pot restaurant, don't hesitate to recommend Bubyeokjeong! The food is clean and refined overall, so it's a place that gets compliments even when you bring elders along~ ## Where it is - Bubyeokjeong Pyeongyang Mandu (부벽정평양만두 파주출판단지헤이리마을운정일산본점) - 129 Jimok-ro, 1F Building La, Paju-si, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea - 경기도 파주시 지목로 129 라동 1층 - 37.7295454, 126.7029762 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EB%B6%80%EB%B2%BD%EC%A0%95%ED%8F%89%EC%96%91%EB%A7%8C%EB%91%90%20%ED%8C%8C%EC%A3%BC%EC%B6%9C%ED%8C%90%EB%8B%A8%EC%A7%80%ED%97%A4%EC%9D%B4%EB%A6%AC%EB%A7%88%EC%9D%84%EC%9A%B4%EC%A0%95%EC%9D%BC%EC%82%B0%EB%B3%B8%EC%A0%90/@37.7295454,126.7029762,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@out-in-seoul/paju-unjeong-mandu-hotpot-open-run/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
