Kim Sawon’s Seoul Dumpling Stop: Finding Gubok Mandu Near Sookmyung Women’s University
The Yongsan dumpling shop in Kim Sawon’s video is Gubok Mandu. If you are choosing between shrimp dumplings and xiaolongbao, think about how you like to eat them: a firmer bite of shrimp or a delicate wrapper with hot broth inside.

Choosing your order
Rest a soup dumpling on a spoon and let a little heat escape before taking a bite. Two people can share two different styles rather than ordering identical plates. Availability and portion sizes should be checked against the menu at the shop.
Finding the entrance
Use the main-branch name 구복만두 숙대본점. There are several similarly named map entries; match the Sookmyung area and the entrance photo. A dedicated parking entrance is not confirmed in the video listing. Before driving, check the route from a nearby public parking area to the restaurant door.
