So I searched hard for good places in Paju's Unjeong and visited Bubyeokjeong Pyeongyang Mandu! ![Signature Pyeongyang mandu hot pot, served steaming hot](https://img.superchart.com/images/paju-pyeongyang-mandu-bindaetteok/paju-pyeongyang-mandu-bindaetteok-01-15lvn-900.webp) Hours are 11:00–21:00 Monday through Friday, with a break from 14:30–17:00 and last orders at 20:00.

The interior was spotless overall, too. ![Spacious and clean restaurant interior](https://img.superchart.com/images/paju-pyeongyang-mandu-bindaetteok/paju-pyeongyang-mandu-bindaetteok-06-167g0-900.webp) It is such a popular place that there may be a wait on weekends or at peak times. In that case, you can easily join the waiting list using the tablet by the entrance. ![Waiting-list tablet at the entrance](https://img.superchart.com/images/paju-pyeongyang-mandu-bindaetteok/paju-pyeongyang-mandu-bindaetteok-07-82mbw-900.webp) I visited at weekday lunchtime, and as expected of a popular restaurant, it was really busy. Thankfully, there were plenty of seats, so I could sit down right away without waiting. ![Plenty of spacious restaurant seating](https://img.superchart.com/images/paju-pyeongyang-mandu-bindaetteok/paju-pyeongyang-mandu-bindaetteok-08-1j08d-900.webp) After sitting down, I noticed that each table was neatly set with seasonings such as soy dipping sauce, chili powder, and vinegar. Next to them was even a helpful guide to enjoying the mandu hot pot, so of course I read it carefully. The menu had lots of choices, from mandu-guk (dumpling soup) and mandu jjabagi (dumplings in a thick broth) to mandu hot pot and Pyeongyang naengmyeon (cold buckwheat noodles). That day, we ordered the Pyeongyang mandu hot pot and mung bean pancake. ![Ordered Pyeongyang mandu hot pot and mung bean pancake](https://img.superchart.com/images/paju-pyeongyang-mandu-bindaetteok/paju-pyeongyang-mandu-bindaetteok-09-173tl-900.webp) Once we had ordered, the basic side dishes arrived: white kimchi, kimchi, and pickled radish. If you need more later, you can use the self-service bar. It was very clean and hygienically maintained, which was reassuring. ![Cleanly maintained self-service side-dish bar](https://img.superchart.com/images/paju-pyeongyang-mandu-bindaetteok/paju-pyeongyang-mandu-bindaetteok-10-r89ro-900.webp) There were even children's tableware and high chairs thoughtfully prepared in one corner, so this would be just right for anyone looking for a place to eat out with family and little ones! ![Children's tableware and high-chair area](https://img.superchart.com/images/paju-pyeongyang-mandu-bindaetteok/paju-pyeongyang-mandu-bindaetteok-11-1g6ra-900.webp) While waiting for the food and looking around, I spotted staff hand-folding mandu through a large window on one side of the dining room. Just thinking about tasting those freshly made handmade mandu had my anticipation going UP before the food even arrived! ![Handmade mandu being folded behind a large window](https://img.superchart.com/images/paju-pyeongyang-mandu-bindaetteok/paju-pyeongyang-mandu-bindaetteok-12-t6xtk-900.webp) ## Nutty, mild mung bean pancake A little later, the mung bean pancake arrived first. Its large, golden-brown appearance alone made my mouth water, and once I tasted it, it was full of the distinct charm of a North Korean-style mung bean pancake. ![Golden-brown North Korean-style mung bean pancake](https://img.superchart.com/images/paju-pyeongyang-mandu-bindaetteok/paju-pyeongyang-mandu-bindaetteok-13-v394y-900.webp) It was crisp outside yet mild and nutty within. There was no artificial seasoning flavor at all—just the deep, natural flavor of the ingredients—so I really enjoyed it. It was not overpowering, and I kept reaching for more : ) ![Mild and nutty mung bean pancake](https://img.superchart.com/images/paju-pyeongyang-mandu-bindaetteok/paju-pyeongyang-mandu-bindaetteok-14-134vd-900.webp) ## Pyeongyang mandu hot pot with mushrooms and arong satae Next came the star of the meal: the Pyeongyang mandu hot pot. ![Pyeongyang mandu hot pot, the main dish](https://img.superchart.com/images/paju-pyeongyang-mandu-bindaetteok/paju-pyeongyang-mandu-bindaetteok-15-1ugll-900.webp) ![A hot-pot spread with mandu and vegetables](https://img.superchart.com/images/paju-pyeongyang-mandu-bindaetteok/paju-pyeongyang-mandu-bindaetteok-16-13lmz-900.webp) The platter was generously filled with large mandu, fresh vegetables, and a variety of mushrooms, making for an impressive sight right away. Once the broth comes to a vigorous boil, add the prepared vegetables first and let them cook. The many kinds of mushrooms add a deeper flavor as they mingle with the vegetable broth. ![The variety of mushrooms in the hot pot](https://img.superchart.com/images/paju-pyeongyang-mandu-bindaetteok/paju-pyeongyang-mandu-bindaetteok-17-k3mii-900.webp) The bouncy texture of the mushrooms was really charming. ![Springy-textured mushrooms from the hot pot](https://img.superchart.com/images/paju-pyeongyang-mandu-bindaetteok/paju-pyeongyang-mandu-bindaetteok-18-18rgr-900.webp) There was arong satae (beef shank) as well. Paired with fresh vegetables, the mild juices that burst from the chewy meat went beautifully with the vegetables' gentle sweetness. ![Arong satae beef shank served with vegetables](https://img.superchart.com/images/paju-pyeongyang-mandu-bindaetteok/paju-pyeongyang-mandu-bindaetteok-19-1vx4y-900.webp) ### Heat the mandu for only 1–2 minutes A staff member told us that the mandu had already been cooked once, so they only needed to be warmed in the hot pot for about 1–2 minutes. I loved that we could scoop them out and eat them almost immediately without a long wait! ![Pyeongyang handmade mandu warmed in the hot pot](https://img.superchart.com/images/paju-pyeongyang-mandu-bindaetteok/paju-pyeongyang-mandu-bindaetteok-20-1ezw0-900.webp) With one bite, the subtly seasoned yet mild juices and filling of Pyeongyang mandu spread across your mouth. It was such a comforting flavor that never became cloying. The taste was gentle but deep, something everyone from children to adults could enjoy, and I thought it would be an especially lovely place to bring parents or older family members. ![A bite of Pyeongyang mandu with mild, savory juices](https://img.superchart.com/images/paju-pyeongyang-mandu-bindaetteok/paju-pyeongyang-mandu-bindaetteok-21-bprfh-900.webp) To finish the meal, we added kalguksu (knife-cut noodles) to the remaining broth and enjoyed that perfectly, too. The rich hot-pot broth soaked right into the chewy noodles, and every last bite was delicious. ![Kalguksu noodles added to the remaining hot-pot broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/paju-pyeongyang-mandu-bindaetteok/paju-pyeongyang-mandu-bindaetteok-22-3eg1m-900.webp) With the hot, deeply flavored broth and generously filled mandu, it was a perfect meal that left both body and heart feeling satisfied. If you want a proper North Korean-style Pyeongyang mandu hot pot around Paju Book City, Heyri Art Village, Unjeong, or Ilsan, do stop by! ![Pyeongyang mandu hot pot with steaming broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/paju-pyeongyang-mandu-bindaetteok/paju-pyeongyang-mandu-bindaetteok-23-n731k-900.webp) ![A generous handmade mandu hot-pot meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/paju-pyeongyang-mandu-bindaetteok/paju-pyeongyang-mandu-bindaetteok-24-1dq5n-900.webp) The restaurant is wonderfully large, the parking is spacious, and the food is excellent, making it an easy choice you will not regret with anyone. I recommend it to anyone who wants to experience truly great handmade mandu : ) ## Where it is - Bubyeokjeong Pyeongyang Mandu (부벽정평양만두 파주출판단지헤이리마을운정일산본점) - 1F, Ra-dong, 129 Jimok-ro, Paju-si, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea (경기도 파주시 지목로 129 라동 1층) - 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/@pastry-case-meals/paju-pyeongyang-mandu-bindaetteok/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
