(31 reviews)Sinbalwon is a third-generation dumpling shop founded by a Hwagyo (Korean-Chinese) family and one of the oldest eateries in Busan’s Chinatown. They specialize in Shandong-style dumplings and also sell traditional Chinese pastries like mooncakes, gonggal-ppang, and kkwabaegi. The signature is the gogi- — a thick-skinned pork dumpling whose filling (minced pork with radish, ginger, and green onion) releases a savory, juicy burst. The half-moon (pan-fried) is another favorite, prized for its crisp wrapper and subtle chive aroma.
