Pork Soup Dumplings (Xiaolongbao)

3.5

at Mongjungheon

-Munjeong, Songpa, Seoul, Republic of Korea-

with the W and IZ

Confirming that my positive first impression of the restaurant, where we had celebrated DJ’s high school graduation (see generally 16.138 Dim Sum Special Course (Dinner)) – possibly the best Korean-Chinese place within a 10-km radius of home.

However, pricing may become an issue.  On that first visit, the bill for our party of 6 came out to around 720,000 (120,000/pax), even though we didn’t drink that much.  Tonight, the bill came out to over 250,000 (85,000/pax), even though we’d ordered just 1 main dish (65,000) + dimsum (starting at 14,000) + noodles (starting at 16,000) + beer (13,000).  We might have to limit visits to special occasions.
