Arriving at noon on a weekend meant Catch Table number 29, but tables turned over fast and the wait was only about 10 minutes, enough time for Pyeongyang water makguksu, bibim makguksu and a mung bean pancake, plus a mandu hot pot set packed to go. With a large dedicated parking lot and a generous takeout set, Bubyeokjeong Pyeongyang Mandu works well as a meal on a Paju date course. ## Good to know - **Address**: 1st floor, Building Ra, 129 Jimok-ro, Paju-si, Gyeonggi-do - **Parking**: Dedicated Lot 1 and Lot 2; register your car before leaving - **Weekend wait**: Catch Table No. 29 on arrival at noon on a weekend, about 10 minutes - **Ordered**: Pyeongyang water makguksu, Pyeongyang bibim makguksu, mung bean pancake, mandu hot pot set (takeout) - **Served while waiting**: Misutgaru (roasted grain drink) and injeolmi rice crisps *as written by the visitor on Sep 23, 2026* I recently watched an episode of I Live Alone where actress Lee Sun-min went on a fun shopping spree at the Paju outlet. ![Wide photo evoking a Paju outlet shopping outing](https://img.superchart.com/images/paju-outlet-bubyeokjeong-dumpling-hotpot-takeout/paju-outlet-bubyeokjeong-dumpling-hotpot-takeout-01-1g5ae-m-899.webp) Watching it with my mom, we were like, should we go shopping there this weekend too? ^^ And just like that, a Paju date was set. Since shopping takes way more stamina than you'd think, we figured we should eat first, so we headed to Bubyeokjeong Pyeongyang Mandu, a Paju Lotte Outlet favorite near Paju Book City and Heyri Village, at the Unjeong-Ilsan main branch. ![Exterior of Bubyeokjeong Pyeongyang Mandu, Paju Book City Heyri Village Unjeong-Ilsan main branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/paju-outlet-bubyeokjeong-dumpling-hotpot-takeout/paju-outlet-bubyeokjeong-dumpling-hotpot-takeout-02-ohdzx-1200.webp) If you're looking for a good spot near the Paju Lotte Outlet to hit before or after shopping, pay attention! ## Where is Bubyeokjeong Pyeongyang Mandu, and is parking easy near the Paju Lotte Outlet? The address for Bubyeokjeong Pyeongyang Mandu (Paju Book City, Heyri Village, Unjeong-Ilsan main branch) is 129 Jimok-ro, Raga-dong 1st floor, Paju-si, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea. The restaurant's own parking lot is huge and well laid out! ![View of the dedicated parking lot at Bubyeokjeong Pyeongyang Mandu](https://img.superchart.com/images/paju-outlet-bubyeokjeong-dumpling-hotpot-takeout/paju-outlet-bubyeokjeong-dumpling-hotpot-takeout-03-1j2pq-900.webp) It's split into Lot 1 and Lot 2, so even during weekend peak hours you don't have to stress about parking (just make sure to register your parking before you leave!). ![Parking area split into Lot 1 and Lot 2](https://img.superchart.com/images/paju-outlet-bubyeokjeong-dumpling-hotpot-takeout/paju-outlet-bubyeokjeong-dumpling-hotpot-takeout-04-143de-900.webp) ![Bubyeokjeong Pyeongyang Mandu building on Jimok-ro, Paju, with parking signage](https://img.superchart.com/images/paju-outlet-bubyeokjeong-dumpling-hotpot-takeout/paju-outlet-bubyeokjeong-dumpling-hotpot-takeout-05-14xwg-900.webp) ## How long is the weekend noon wait with Catch Table number 29? We arrived right around noon on the weekend, prime lunch peak time, so of course there was a wait...^^ Registering on Catch Table put us at number 29, but turnover was faster than expected, so the wait was only about 10 minutes! While waiting, there's a little service corner in the store where you can grab cool sweet misutgaru (roasted grain drink) and crunchy injeolmi rice crackers, so there wasn't a dull moment — the time flew by haha. ## Inside Bubyeokjeong Pyeongyang Mandu: seating and atmosphere Finally it was our turn!!! Walked in and it was already packed. ![Fully packed dining room during lunch peak hours](https://img.superchart.com/images/paju-outlet-bubyeokjeong-dumpling-hotpot-takeout/paju-outlet-bubyeokjeong-dumpling-hotpot-takeout-06-15eoo-900.webp) The seating is really spacious and roomy, so there were tons of families there — I get why everyone recommends this place as a Paju Lotte Outlet must-eat! ![Spacious interior with white-toned decor and generous seating](https://img.superchart.com/images/paju-outlet-bubyeokjeong-dumpling-hotpot-takeout/paju-outlet-bubyeokjeong-dumpling-hotpot-takeout-07-1n8u9-m-900.webp) What really got me was the open kitchen where you can watch them hand-pleat the Paju mandu right in front of you — it just makes the hygiene feel completely trustworthy. Overall it's a white-toned interior with big wide windows letting in warm sunlight, so it barely feels like a dumpling shop. ## How do the Pyeongyang water makguksu, bibim makguksu and mung bean pancake taste? What we ordered at Bubyeokjeong Pyeongyang Mandu was the Pyeongyang water makguksu, bibim makguksu, and mung bean pancake. Even though it's technically fall, the sun was really strong and hot that day so I was craving something cold and noodle-y..! ![Menu board and table setting at Bubyeokjeong Pyeongyang Mandu](https://img.superchart.com/images/paju-outlet-bubyeokjeong-dumpling-hotpot-takeout/paju-outlet-bubyeokjeong-dumpling-hotpot-takeout-08-ys1dg-900.webp) So we ordered the Pyeongyang water makguksu and bibim makguksu, plus a mung bean pancake to go alongside. ![Table spread with Pyeongyang water makguksu, bibim makguksu, and mung bean pancake](https://img.superchart.com/images/paju-outlet-bubyeokjeong-dumpling-hotpot-takeout/paju-outlet-bubyeokjeong-dumpling-hotpot-takeout-09-vd53g-900.webp) The Pyeongyang water makguksu had a broth that wasn't artificial at all — clean but deep, the real deal...! ![Bowl of Pyeongyang water makguksu in clear broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/paju-outlet-bubyeokjeong-dumpling-hotpot-takeout/paju-outlet-bubyeokjeong-dumpling-hotpot-takeout-10-17wbl-900.webp) It's got that subtle, plain-but-addictive charm that's distinctly Pyeongyang makguksu, so it was easy to eat without feeling heavy. ![Close-up of noodles lifted from the Pyeongyang water makguksu](https://img.superchart.com/images/paju-outlet-bubyeokjeong-dumpling-hotpot-takeout/paju-outlet-bubyeokjeong-dumpling-hotpot-takeout-11-pu7cr-900.webp) Eaten together with the white kimchi side dish, it's absolutely delicious. ![White kimchi side dish](https://img.superchart.com/images/paju-outlet-bubyeokjeong-dumpling-hotpot-takeout/paju-outlet-bubyeokjeong-dumpling-hotpot-takeout-12-clp2z-900.webp) The Pyeongyang bibim makguksu had a spicy-sweet sauce fully soaked into the noodles, seasoned just right — not too salty, not too sweet — so it just kept disappearing... ![Pyeongyang bibim makguksu with sauce soaked into the noodles](https://img.superchart.com/images/paju-outlet-bubyeokjeong-dumpling-hotpot-takeout/paju-outlet-bubyeokjeong-dumpling-hotpot-takeout-13-rk83x-900.webp) ![Close-up of the mixed Pyeongyang bibim makguksu noodles](https://img.superchart.com/images/paju-outlet-bubyeokjeong-dumpling-hotpot-takeout/paju-outlet-bubyeokjeong-dumpling-hotpot-takeout-14-1diae-900.webp) A bite of the cool, savory Pyeongyang makguksu followed by a bite of mung bean pancake was an insane combo. ![A piece of mung bean pancake paired with the makguksu](https://img.superchart.com/images/paju-outlet-bubyeokjeong-dumpling-hotpot-takeout/paju-outlet-bubyeokjeong-dumpling-hotpot-takeout-15-s3m1z-900.webp) ### The hidden favorite: mung bean pancake (nokdu bindaetteok) I honestly didn't have high expectations when we ordered the mung bean pancake, but the moment I tasted it, I was like ????? oh!!!! ![Mung bean pancake fried crispy on the outside](https://img.superchart.com/images/paju-outlet-bubyeokjeong-dumpling-hotpot-takeout/paju-outlet-bubyeokjeong-dumpling-hotpot-takeout-16-v7u31-900.webp) ![Cross-section of the sliced mung bean pancake](https://img.superchart.com/images/paju-outlet-bubyeokjeong-dumpling-hotpot-takeout/paju-outlet-bubyeokjeong-dumpling-hotpot-takeout-17-3dv4x-900.webp) Crispy outside, tender inside is just the baseline — this mung bean pancake is a hidden menu item, seriously. It's made with 100% mung bean and no added water, so the nuttiness hits at maximum strength. ![Plate of 100% mung bean pancake](https://img.superchart.com/images/paju-outlet-bubyeokjeong-dumpling-hotpot-takeout/paju-outlet-bubyeokjeong-dumpling-hotpot-takeout-18-2ame1-900.webp) Right before Chuseok, I told my mom, don't bother frying jeon, let's just buy this instead, it's better than yours — and even my mom admitted it lol. ## What comes in the mandu hot pot set to go? Bubyeokjeong Pyeongyang Mandu's mandu (dumpling) hot pot can be packaged as a set to take home and cook. Looking around the restaurant, the hot pot bubbling away at other tables looked so good... ![Mandu hot pot bubbling away at a neighboring table](https://img.superchart.com/images/paju-outlet-bubyeokjeong-dumpling-hotpot-takeout/paju-outlet-bubyeokjeong-dumpling-hotpot-takeout-19-trzs4-900.webp) Couldn't resist, so we packed the hot pot set to have for dinner once we got home haha. ![Bubyeokjeong Pyeongyang Mandu hot pot set packed for takeout](https://img.superchart.com/images/paju-outlet-bubyeokjeong-dumpling-hotpot-takeout/paju-outlet-bubyeokjeong-dumpling-hotpot-takeout-20-41tfy-900.webp) ![Contents of the mandu hot pot takeout package](https://img.superchart.com/images/paju-outlet-bubyeokjeong-dumpling-hotpot-takeout/paju-outlet-bubyeokjeong-dumpling-hotpot-takeout-21-10z9l-900.webp) The takeout packaging was really clean, and most of all, the portion size was seriously generous. Loaded with vegetables, meat, and Gangneung Chodang tofu, giving it a distinctly clean flavor, plus giant Paju mandu, knife-cut noodles for the soup, and plenty of broth — they cover everything perfectly. You add the chili paste to your taste, then just throw in the vegetables, mandu, and broth and let it bubble — super simple. The size of these mandu, though...? It had a clean, light taste like shabu-shabu, so even though it was a late dinner, it didn't feel heavy on the stomach — loved that. ![Mandu hot pot cooked at home with giant dumplings](https://img.superchart.com/images/paju-outlet-bubyeokjeong-dumpling-hotpot-takeout/paju-outlet-bubyeokjeong-dumpling-hotpot-takeout-22-bq6md-900.webp) ## Final verdict: is Bubyeokjeong Pyeongyang Mandu worth it on a Paju date? It's great for filling up before or after shopping, ![Table at Bubyeokjeong Pyeongyang Mandu after finishing the meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/paju-outlet-bubyeokjeong-dumpling-hotpot-takeout/paju-outlet-bubyeokjeong-dumpling-hotpot-takeout-23-1f9do-900.webp) ![Final exterior shot of Bubyeokjeong Pyeongyang Mandu](https://img.superchart.com/images/paju-outlet-bubyeokjeong-dumpling-hotpot-takeout/paju-outlet-bubyeokjeong-dumpling-hotpot-takeout-24-14mpn-900.webp) and it's also perfect for packing up and enjoying comfortably at home — this Paju Lotte Outlet favorite, Bubyeokjeong Pyeongyang Mandu!
