Gaeseong Traditional Dumpling House

General Notes

Michelin recommended traditional Korean dumplings ... they're only okay though. As you're waiting in line, you can see several women through the window making dumplings. The dumplings taste really strange. First of all, they're HUGE. Each order only has 4 or 6 dumplings, but don't let that fool you. Each dumpling is probably the size of 3 normal dumplings. Second, the filling tastes very odd. They somehow feel simultaneously dry and really wet, and I'm not a big fan of the fillings (traditional, kimchi, mushroom). Not my restaurant of choice for sure, but everything else other than their dumplings (e.g. soup, pancakes) are pretty good.

Note: the assorted pancakes is a LOT of food. Don't make the same mistake as us and over-order, thinking that 4-6 dumplings is not a lot.
