Chinese - Jonny Dumpling

A great Chinese dumpling spot

located conveniently near Itaewon station,

exit via exit number 2

Itaewon is the place where you'll probably see the most foreign people,

perhaps you might even feel a little bit at home...

Turn left when you see this fork

If you've passed it, then you've gone to far!

It should be right in front of you when you exit the station

Outside

Located right next to the famous "Smokey Saloon"

Le menu

They have one inside as well, but I thought this was convenient enough

I'm guessing this is posted for line-ups and take-outs.

Luckily, on a Wednesday lunch, it wasn't crowded at all

we were even able to choose seats....

Interior

A rather small space with about 9-ish tables

Zagat rated,

in case this means something more to someone out there

The Food

I was so hungry at the time, I forgot to take a photo before eating.

The semi-fried shrimp and pork dumpling comes in the quantity of 10

delicious crispiness & juiciness of the inside

Almost feels like eating a long soup-filled dumpling (dim-sum)

Dumpling Soup

The ahh-oh-soft mini dumplings inside hot mussel broth is quite good

they must brew the broth with spicy peppers, you can feel a little kick in the broth

but nothing too overwhelming

They offer a side of rice when you order your dumpling soup (on request)

Yum Yum!

They have 3 locations, and this is their 2nd one

They also offer frozen dumpling delivery services via parcel if you order more than 30,000

They close somewhat early for this part of town -

last call is 9:30

A cheap, filling meal in the area of Itaewon.

do try their 2nd and 3rd location if their main location is too crowded!
