Seocho dim sum restaurant with partitioned hall seats: Maeranbang
Maeranbang Gyodae Branch is a dim sum and course Chinese restaurant on basement level 1, a two-minute walk from Exit 14 of Gyodae Station in Seocho, Seoul. Dinner Course C costs 35,000 won per person and brought crab meat soup, three kinds of dim sum, old-style sweet and sour pork, spicy chili shrimp, a choice of hand-pulled potato jajangmyeon or spicy samseon jjamppong, and matcha pudding. Even the regular hall seats at Maeranbang are divided by tall seatbacks and half-circle partitions, so a long, quiet dinner with a friend feels almost like a private room.
