Located in the Shanghai Street Chinatown opposite Busan Station, about a 5-minute walk away, this is a well-known Chinese dim sum shop on Busan's list of historic establishments. The signature dish is the meat dumpling, and they also offer pan-fried dumplings, shrimp dumplings, and mala dumplings, priced at about 4,800 to 6,500 KRW for a portion of four. Pairing them with cold cucumber salad or soy milk with crispy dough twists is highly popular, keeping the average cost per person low.
