Xiongmao Seongsu: My Go-To Authentic Chinese Restaurant in Seongsu!
[Xiongmao Seongsu Branch]
3rd Floor, 7-1 Yeonmujang 7-gil, Seongdong-gu, Seoul
Hello, I'm Zhel!
Today, I'm introducing my favorite restaurant in Seongsu, a place I always visit:
Xiongmao Seongsu!
If you love Chinese food, Xiongmao is a must-try!
I think I've visited at least eight times. Let's get right into the review!
Exterior
Xiongmao is located near Dior Seongsu.
It's in a great area, perfect for grabbing a meal and then heading to a cafe or taking fun photos at a photo booth.
The restaurant is on the 2nd floor of the building, but there's only a staircase!
Waiting
Since Xiongmao is a famous restaurant in Seongsu,
using CatchTable for the waiting list is essential.
CatchTable didn't have a location verification feature before, but it seems like they've added one now!
Even if you make a reservation on your phone, be sure to arrive on time.
Interior
The interior is divided into bar seating and sofa seating.
The restaurant isn't very large, so there tends to be a bit of a wait.
All the seats are clean and well-maintained, so you can enjoy your meal comfortably.
The sofa seats are arranged like this, and each table has a cute panda.
They provide chili oil and kelp vinegar, so you can customize the flavors to your liking.
Menu
You can order through a QR code.
They used to have Chicken Bao, which I ordered a lot, but it disappeared from the menu this time.
It was so delicious... what a shame!
Xiongmao's signature dish is Eggplant Stir-fry!
I love Ragu Tantanmyeon, so I ordered both.
Eggplant Stir-fry: ₩15,300
Ragu Tantanmyeon: ₩11,000
Doesn't the Ragu Tantanmyeon look delicious from the start?
It has chives, peanuts, a poached egg, sesame paste, and ground meat.
It's a thick Tantanmyeon, and it's my favorite menu item!
It's always so delicious, it's touching!
If you want it spicy, you can add chili oil.
I like spicy food, so I add a lot.
It's similar to thick Mazesoba,
so I think people who like Mazesoba will also enjoy it!
If you're visiting Xiongmao for the first time,
I recommend trying the Beef Noodle Soup first.
It's delicious without being too adventurous.
I was so hungry that day that I even added a bowl of rice
and mixed it in. Hehe.
Personally, I think noodles go better with it than rice!
The amount of rice looked small in the picture,
but it was actually a lot.
Next is Xiongmao's signature dish, the Eggplant Stir-fry.
It's a must-order dish when you go to Xiongmao.
It's so good, it makes even people who don't like eggplant enjoy it!
The outside is crispy, and the inside is incredibly moist.
Even the savory sauce is perfect.
Before, the eggplant stir-fry sauce was very thick and a little salty,
but this time, the sauce was thinner and just right!
And I don't really like peanuts,
but I didn't notice the peanut flavor much when eating at Xiongmao, which was nice.
Xiongmao is the best!
It's so delicious, I hope you'll visit!
The cucumber salad that comes with it is also sweet and sour,
and it gets rid of the greasy taste, making it so delicious.
I refilled it twice, haha.
Xiongmao is a must-visit restaurant in Seongsu.
I hope you'll try my two favorite menu items!
The staff is friendly, and the restaurant is clean!
The atmosphere is also great. Highly recommend!
