The order at Panda Dim Sum was half a Peking duck for 39,000 won, flying fish roe shumai for 8,500 won and a black pepper beef rice bowl for 15,000 won, with the Peking duck booked in advance because it takes time to cook. Panda Dim Sum works best as part of a full day out with a walk along Gyeongui Line Forest Park and a Yeonnam-dong café. ## Good to know - **Location**: 22 Dongyo-ro 38beon-an-gil, Mapo-gu, Seoul (about 8 minutes on foot from Hongik University Station) - **Hours**: 12:00 – 21:00 - **Half Peking duck**: 39,000 won - **Flying fish roe shumai**: 8,500 won - **Black pepper beef rice bowl**: 15,000 won - **Reservations**: Peking duck takes time to cook, so booking ahead is recommended *as written by the visitor on Sep 18, 2026* ![Peking duck and dim sum feature image at Panda Dim Sum in Yeonnam-dong](https://img.superchart.com/images/pandadimsum-yeonnam-peking-duck-reservation/pandadimsum-yeonnam-peking-duck-reservation-01-1n22l-1200.webp) > Panda Dim Sum > 22 Dongyo-ro 38beon-an-gil, Mapo-gu, Seoul > 12:00 ~ 21:00 A Chinese food spot in Hongdae and Yeonnam-dong, Panda Dim Sum! Let's start with the intro video I watched before heading over. Hi, this is Chugu, traveling on the run. Walking through Hongdae and Yeonnam-dong, you come across all kinds of restaurants. This time, I stepped away from my usual go-to dishes because I was craving proper Chinese food, so I visited Panda Dim Sum. ![Exterior of Panda Dim Sum, 8 minutes on foot from Hongik University Station](https://img.superchart.com/images/pandadimsum-yeonnam-peking-duck-reservation/pandadimsum-yeonnam-peking-duck-reservation-02-1049v-900.webp) ## Where is Panda Dim Sum, and what is the restaurant like? Panda Dim Sum is a Chinese restaurant in Yeonnam-dong where you can enjoy dim sum and Peking duck together, located about 8 minutes on foot from Hongik University Station. ![Entrance of Panda Dim Sum decorated with panda motifs](https://img.superchart.com/images/pandadimsum-yeonnam-peking-duck-reservation/pandadimsum-yeonnam-peking-duck-reservation-03-13fla-900.webp) The store has panda-themed touches everywhere, and instead of feeling like a heavy, formal Chinese restaurant, the vibe was comfortable and casual. ![Casual interior seating at Panda Dim Sum](https://img.superchart.com/images/pandadimsum-yeonnam-peking-duck-reservation/pandadimsum-yeonnam-peking-duck-reservation-04-10d7l-900.webp) ![Interior of Panda Dim Sum with panda-themed decor items](https://img.superchart.com/images/pandadimsum-yeonnam-peking-duck-reservation/pandadimsum-yeonnam-peking-duck-reservation-05-1i758-900.webp) ## Panda Dim Sum menu and what we ordered Here's the menu lineup at Panda Dim Sum, a Chinese food spot in Hongdae and Yeonnam-dong. ![Panda Dim Sum menu board](https://img.superchart.com/images/pandadimsum-yeonnam-peking-duck-reservation/pandadimsum-yeonnam-peking-duck-reservation-06-1rurj-900.webp) We ordered half a Peking duck along with flying fish roe shumai and black pepper beef rice bowl. ![Price list showing Peking duck and dim sum items](https://img.superchart.com/images/pandadimsum-yeonnam-peking-duck-reservation/pandadimsum-yeonnam-peking-duck-reservation-07-1fv0z-900.webp) > Half Peking duck ₩39,000 > Flying fish roe shumai ₩8,500 > Black pepper beef rice bowl ₩15,000 ![Dim sum menu page at Panda Dim Sum](https://img.superchart.com/images/pandadimsum-yeonnam-peking-duck-reservation/pandadimsum-yeonnam-peking-duck-reservation-08-1kzpv-900.webp) ![Rice and noodle menu page at Panda Dim Sum](https://img.superchart.com/images/pandadimsum-yeonnam-peking-duck-reservation/pandadimsum-yeonnam-peking-duck-reservation-09-1vh4i-900.webp) ## Why you should book the Peking duck in advance ![Table setting at Panda Dim Sum after reserving a seat](https://img.superchart.com/images/pandadimsum-yeonnam-peking-duck-reservation/pandadimsum-yeonnam-peking-duck-reservation-10-sq60d-900.webp) We visited with a reservation made in advance. Peking duck takes some time to cook, so I'd recommend booking ahead before you go. ![Table at Panda Dim Sum set with the ordered dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/pandadimsum-yeonnam-peking-duck-reservation/pandadimsum-yeonnam-peking-duck-reservation-11-1jbc8-900.webp) ![Flying fish roe shumai served in a steamer basket](https://img.superchart.com/images/pandadimsum-yeonnam-peking-duck-reservation/pandadimsum-yeonnam-peking-duck-reservation-12-sc96y-900.webp) ### Flying fish roe shumai, 8,500 won Since we came to a dim sum place, we had to try at least one dim sum dish. The shumai came out in bite-sized pieces, and with the flying fish roe added, it had a slightly different texture from regular shumai. ![Close-up of bite-sized flying fish roe shumai](https://img.superchart.com/images/pandadimsum-yeonnam-peking-duck-reservation/pandadimsum-yeonnam-peking-duck-reservation-13-1wtp1-m-900.webp) ### Black pepper beef rice bowl, 15,000 won This is stir-fried beef in black pepper sauce served with rice. The beef, layered with the distinct aroma and savoriness of black pepper, went really well with the rice. ![Black pepper beef rice bowl topped with stir-fried beef in black pepper sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/pandadimsum-yeonnam-peking-duck-reservation/pandadimsum-yeonnam-peking-duck-reservation-14-2dvjs-900.webp) Eating the soft, moist filling and then having the flying fish roe pop in your mouth was a fun contrast. If you're visiting with several people, it'd be fun to order a variety of dim sum dishes and share one of each. ![Cross-section of flying fish roe shumai picked up with chopsticks](https://img.superchart.com/images/pandadimsum-yeonnam-peking-duck-reservation/pandadimsum-yeonnam-peking-duck-reservation-15-sd82o-900.webp) ![Half Peking duck served on a plate](https://img.superchart.com/images/pandadimsum-yeonnam-peking-duck-reservation/pandadimsum-yeonnam-peking-duck-reservation-16-y0kza-900.webp) ![Glossy sliced Peking duck](https://img.superchart.com/images/pandadimsum-yeonnam-peking-duck-reservation/pandadimsum-yeonnam-peking-duck-reservation-17-1ksgu-900.webp) ![Wheat pancakes, vegetables, and sauce served with the Peking duck](https://img.superchart.com/images/pandadimsum-yeonnam-peking-duck-reservation/pandadimsum-yeonnam-peking-duck-reservation-18-1vt1w-900.webp) ## Half Peking duck, 39,000 won, wrapped in thin wheat pancakes When the Peking duck arrived, the visuals grabbed my attention first. The glossy duck meat comes with wheat pancakes, vegetables, and sauce to pair with it. You place the duck meat on a thin wheat pancake, add vegetables and sauce to your taste, roll it up, and eat. ![Duck meat and vegetables placed on a wheat pancake](https://img.superchart.com/images/pandadimsum-yeonnam-peking-duck-reservation/pandadimsum-yeonnam-peking-duck-reservation-19-5loas-900.webp) Eating the duck meat on its own felt different from wrapping it in a pancake, so I tried it a few different ways. ![Peking duck wrap rolled up in a wheat pancake](https://img.superchart.com/images/pandadimsum-yeonnam-peking-duck-reservation/pandadimsum-yeonnam-peking-duck-reservation-20-1kf1m-900.webp) My personal favorite part of Peking duck is the skin. You get to enjoy the crispy texture of well-roasted skin along with the flavor of the duck meat. ![Crispy roasted Peking duck skin](https://img.superchart.com/images/pandadimsum-yeonnam-peking-duck-reservation/pandadimsum-yeonnam-peking-duck-reservation-21-63ut3-900.webp) At first I tasted the duck on its own, then later put duck meat and vegetables on a wheat pancake and added sauce. Building each wrap yourself makes the meal a bit more fun. ![Peking duck spread laid out for making your own wraps](https://img.superchart.com/images/pandadimsum-yeonnam-peking-duck-reservation/pandadimsum-yeonnam-peking-duck-reservation-22-qtz16-900.webp) My personal favorite order is starting with the duck skin to whet your appetite, then moving on to the wheat pancakes for the main event. ![A finished bite of Peking duck with added sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/pandadimsum-yeonnam-peking-duck-reservation/pandadimsum-yeonnam-peking-duck-reservation-23-ghm4e-900.webp) The Peking duck was light and tasty when eaten with the vegetables and special sauce. ![Closing shot of the Peking duck and dim sum meal at Panda Dim Sum](https://img.superchart.com/images/pandadimsum-yeonnam-peking-duck-reservation/pandadimsum-yeonnam-peking-duck-reservation-24-183e1-966.webp) ## A Yeonnam-dong day out with Gyeongui Line Forest Park Panda Dim Sum sits in the alley leading from Hongik University Station into Yeonnam-dong, so rather than visiting just for the meal, it works well combined with a Yeonnam-dong date or a day out in Seoul. A course of slowly walking the Gyeongui Line Forest Park, having lunch or dinner at Panda Dim Sum, then heading to a café in the Yeonnam-dong alleys is a solid plan. Yeonnam-dong especially has cafés, small shops, and good restaurants packed close together, so you can build a full day-date course without traveling far. I got to enjoy three dishes across the board: Peking duck with crispy skin and tender meat wrapped in wheat pancakes, flying fish roe shumai with its fun popping texture, and the black pepper beef rice bowl that made for a filling finish. I liked that this isn't a place that only specializes in dim sum — you can enjoy everything from Peking duck to dim sum, rice bowls, and noodle dishes. If you're looking to step outside your usual Chinese food routine, it seems like a good idea to build a meal around the Peking duck and pick a dim sum and a main dish to go with it. ## Where it is - Panda Dim Sum (판다딤섬) - 22 Dongyo-ro 38beon-an-gil, Mapo-gu, Seoul, South Korea - 서울특별시 마포구 동교로38안길 22 2층 - 37.5622336, 126.9252074 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%ED%8C%90%EB%8B%A4%EB%94%A4%EC%84%AC/@37.5622336,126.9252074,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@spoonful-by-spoonful/pandadimsum-yeonnam-peking-duck-reservation/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
