On an April lunch as the cherry blossoms were falling, the writer and her husband skipped their usual white hot pot for the red one and enjoyed its peppery but not-too-spicy broth, chewy dumpling wrappers and pre-boiled kalguksu (knife-cut) noodles. Her husband said the red dumpling hot pot tasted like his childhood and ranked Myeongseong first among every dumpling hot pot place he has tried. ## Good to know - **Address**: 1F, Units 143–145, 26-32 Seouldaehak-ro 264beon-gil, Siheung-si, Gyeonggi (Baegot-dong) - **Hours**: 10:30–22:00, last order 21:00 - **Closed**: Wednesdays (as stated in the post) - **Hot pot broth**: Choice of white or red - **Other menu items**: Rice cake dumpling soup, yukgaejang (spicy beef soup) dumpling soup, pork cutlet, kkanpung dumplings (sweet-spicy fried dumplings), kalguksu (knife-cut noodle soup) dishes, cold noodles, kongguksu (cold soy milk noodles), mul naengmyeon (cold buckwheat noodles) and more - **Seasonal menu**: Kongguksu, naengmyeon and cold noodles added as the weather warms up - **Included**: Kalguksu noodles (served lightly pre-cooked), geotjeori (fresh kimchi) and yeolmu kimchi (young radish kimchi) - **Points**: 3% of each meal earned as points, usable like cash from 5,000 points - **Facilities**: Reservations, separate men's and women's restrooms, group dining, takeout *as written by the visitor on Apr 17, 2026 · not checked with the business* ## An April lunch as the cherry blossoms fall, at Myeongseong in Baegot One April lunch, my husband and I went to Myeongseong Handmade Dumpling Hot Pot Baegot Branch (명성손만두전골 배곧점) in Baegot-dong, Siheung, for handmade dumpling hot pot. Lunch has to be something delicious, no exceptions~! It was a sunny, properly hot spring day, hot enough for short sleeves and shorts, so you'd think we'd want something cold. But my husband and I prefer warm, brothy food over cold, and we both love dumplings, so we headed to this 'Baegot dumpling hot pot favorite'. On the 10-minute drive to Baegot, the cherry blossoms along the street were raining petals so gracefully~ so romantic and pretty~~ It made our dumpling hot pot lunch even more exciting. ![Cherry blossom trees on the way to Baegot and Myeongseong Baegot Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/baegot-red-dumpling-hotpot-lunch/baegot-red-dumpling-hotpot-lunch-01-wjuqp-966.webp) ## Location and opening hours of Myeongseong Baegot Branch Myeongseong Handmade Dumpling Hot Pot Baegot Branch is at 26-32 Seouldaehak-ro 264beon-gil, Siheung-si, Gyeonggi, South Korea (Unit 143–145, 1st floor, Baegot-dong 230). Hours are 10:30–22:00 with last order at 21:00, and it's listed as closed on Wednesdays. Reservations, separate men's and women's restrooms, group visits and takeout are all available. It was featured as yukgaejang (spicy beef soup) handmade dumpling hot pot on KBS 2TV's Saeng Saeng Jeongbo, episode 1237 (January 26, 2021). A place that gets on TV like that is definitely a famous and delicious dumpling hot pot spot. ![Sign about Myeongseong Baegot Branch's TV appearance](https://img.superchart.com/images/baegot-red-dumpling-hotpot-lunch/baegot-red-dumpling-hotpot-lunch-02-17wo2-966.webp) As the weather gets warmer, they've started serving cold soy milk noodles, naengmyeon (cold noodles) and cold noodles. I absolutely love soy milk noodles, so I'll have to try them next time. ![Notice for Myeongseong's summer menu of soy milk noodles and cold noodles](https://img.superchart.com/images/baegot-red-dumpling-hotpot-lunch/baegot-red-dumpling-hotpot-lunch-03-1w0je-966.webp) ## Myeongseong menu: choose white or red hot pot At Myeongseong you can choose between two hot pot broths, white and red. Even apart from hot pot, there's plenty else to eat: rice cake dumpling soup, yukgaejang dumpling soup, pork cutlet, kanpung dumplings, kalguksu varieties, cold noodles, cold soy milk noodles, mul naengmyeon and more. It's a Baegot dumpling hot pot place that serves guests sincerely without losing its original spirit. ![Menu board at Myeongseong Baegot Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/baegot-red-dumpling-hotpot-lunch/baegot-red-dumpling-hotpot-lunch-04-1y7th-m-966.webp) As I mentioned above, it's been on TV, and I wondered why the wrappers were so chewy and good. Turns out they're 3-day-aged, compressed wrappers, which is probably why they taste even better. ### How to enjoy dumpling hot pot - Add the dumplings once the broth boils - Stir well and close the lid - When it boils up, add the vegetables and meat - Dip the meat in the sauce first and eat it - Eat the dumplings when they boil up and the wrappers puff out - When you've finished, add the noodles and boil briefly - Finish with fried rice on top!!! ![Points notice at Myeongseong Baegot Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/baegot-red-dumpling-hotpot-lunch/baegot-red-dumpling-hotpot-lunch-05-xwlgu-966.webp) Myeongseong Baegot Branch gives you 3% of your meal total as points, usable from 5,000 points.

They go really well with the dumpling hot pot. ![Handmade dumpling hot pot set out on the table](https://img.superchart.com/images/baegot-red-dumpling-hotpot-lunch/baegot-red-dumpling-hotpot-lunch-07-1tcz3-966.webp) ## How the red dumpling hot pot tastes: a kick-in-the-throat broth full of my husband's memories At last the handmade dumpling hot pot arrived. I love dumplings so much that my eyes go wide the moment I see them. Clap clap clap~ yay^^ I'm going to eat you up happily~ ![Pot of red dumpling hot pot at Myeongseong](https://img.superchart.com/images/baegot-red-dumpling-hotpot-lunch/baegot-red-dumpling-hotpot-lunch-08-ktqum-1200.webp) Killer look, right~~~ I always had the white hot pot, so this time I ordered the red one. Oh my oh my, this was the real deal, so good. Hurry up and boil! ![Red dumpling hot pot starting to boil](https://img.superchart.com/images/baegot-red-dumpling-hotpot-lunch/baegot-red-dumpling-hotpot-lunch-09-ggmy7-966.webp) Once it started boiling, the rich broth aroma wafted up and I got super hungry. ![Red hot pot with rich broth aroma rising](https://img.superchart.com/images/baegot-red-dumpling-hotpot-lunch/baegot-red-dumpling-hotpot-lunch-10-1t34o-966.webp) We started by scooping out the meat and vegetables first! Here's why the red dumpling hot pot at Myeongseong Baegot Branch is the real deal: my husband said it tastes like what he loved eating as a kid. The kind where you boil broth with anchovies and seafood and season it with gochujang (red chili paste)~~ He ate so enthusiastically that I felt proud. ![Scooping meat and vegetables from the red dumpling hot pot](https://img.superchart.com/images/baegot-red-dumpling-hotpot-lunch/baegot-red-dumpling-hotpot-lunch-11-1bk0l-966.webp) The red broth looked like it would be spicy, but it wasn't very spicy, just an easy-to-eat, kick-in-the-throat kind of flavor. The meat was tender and soft too. It was packed with vegetables, so this alone would fill you up, but my rice-loving husband and I ordered bowls of rice as well. Not a single drop of broth was getting away... that was our resolve, haha It's a dumpling hot pot that's always good, whether you eat it on a cold day or a warm one. ![Handmade dumplings in red broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/baegot-red-dumpling-hotpot-lunch/baegot-red-dumpling-hotpot-lunch-12-1l7hu-966.webp) ![Handmade dumplings with chewy wrappers](https://img.superchart.com/images/baegot-red-dumpling-hotpot-lunch/baegot-red-dumpling-hotpot-lunch-13-1expn-966.webp) ## Myeongseong dumpling wrappers: neither too thin nor too thick The handmade dumplings at Myeongseong Baegot Branch have wonderfully chewy wrappers. At other dumpling hot pot places the wrappers were too thin and the texture was meh, and at places that just sell dumpling soup the wrappers were too thick and tasted very floury. Here the wrappers are neither too thin nor too thick, just right, so it passes with flying colors. So good. My husband gave his taste review too, and he said that out of all the places he's been to, this one is number one. In taste, service and price, all of it... The chopsticks were going back and forth without a break. It's not very spicy, even people who can't handle heat can eat it well, so if you visit Myeongseong I recommend trying the red broth dumpling hot pot. ![Eating the red dumpling hot pot](https://img.superchart.com/images/baegot-red-dumpling-hotpot-lunch/baegot-red-dumpling-hotpot-lunch-14-ajotl-966.webp) ![Dumplings and broth served in a small plate](https://img.superchart.com/images/baegot-red-dumpling-hotpot-lunch/baegot-red-dumpling-hotpot-lunch-15-wvsrq-966.webp) ![A bowl of red broth dumpling hot pot](https://img.superchart.com/images/baegot-red-dumpling-hotpot-lunch/baegot-red-dumpling-hotpot-lunch-16-1k087-966.webp) I didn't fall behind either and ate hard, haha. The dumpling filling is solidly packed. There are so many vegetables that this alone fills you up. ![Cross-section of a handmade dumpling packed with filling](https://img.superchart.com/images/baegot-red-dumpling-hotpot-lunch/baegot-red-dumpling-hotpot-lunch-17-ywy76-966.webp) ![Dumpling hot pot loaded with vegetables](https://img.superchart.com/images/baegot-red-dumpling-hotpot-lunch/baegot-red-dumpling-hotpot-lunch-18-xiy3z-966.webp) ## Kalguksu noodles come standard, pre-boiled so they cook fast At Myeongseong, kalguksu noodles come as standard. We scraped up every last bit of vegetables, dumplings and meat, haha. This time we added the noodles and boiled them briefly. They aren't fresh noodles but lightly pre-cooked ones, so they only need a short cook, which I loved. ![Kalguksu noodles being boiled in the hot pot](https://img.superchart.com/images/baegot-red-dumpling-hotpot-lunch/baegot-red-dumpling-hotpot-lunch-19-ykor7-966.webp) It's cheating if the noodles are good too~ Chewy is a given, and the best part was that since they come pre-boiled, there's no floury smell. ![Chewy kalguksu noodles cooked in red broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/baegot-red-dumpling-hotpot-lunch/baegot-red-dumpling-hotpot-lunch-20-1jdyd-966.webp) I also had a refreshing glass of Fanta^^ ![Fanta with the meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/baegot-red-dumpling-hotpot-lunch/baegot-red-dumpling-hotpot-lunch-21-152od-966.webp) ![Drink and dessert to finish the meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/baegot-red-dumpling-hotpot-lunch/baegot-red-dumpling-hotpot-lunch-22-1db3g-966.webp) Wow~~~ I ate until I was really full and finished with ice cream. While I was eating my ice cream, my husband was mixing rice into the broth and eating that too, which is a secret, shh. hahaha ![Ice cream to finish](https://img.superchart.com/images/baegot-red-dumpling-hotpot-lunch/baegot-red-dumpling-hotpot-lunch-23-5vg9b-966.webp) ## Are Myeongseong's dumplings really made by hand? On my way out after paying, I saw the owner of Myeongseong Baegot Branch making dumplings. So this Baegot handmade dumpling hot pot place is 100% the real thing. Their fingertips are so deft, and they make the dumplings so beautifully. Myeongseong, a place that keeps making you think of it, gave us a hearty lunch with a solid lineup, a small but definite happiness. ## Where it is - Myeongseong Handmade Dumpling Hot Pot Baegot Branch (명성손만두전골 배곧점) - 26-32 Seouldaehak-ro 264beon-gil, Siheung-si, Gyeonggi, South Korea - 경기도 시흥시 서울대학로264번길 26-32 1층 143호 ~ 145호 - 37.3668974, 126.7278613 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EB%AA%85%EC%84%B1%EC%86%90%EB%A7%8C%EB%91%90%EC%A0%84%EA%B3%A8%20%EB%B0%B0%EA%B3%A7%EC%A0%90/@37.3668974,126.7278613,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@the-serving-tray/baegot-red-dumpling-hotpot-lunch/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
