What is Korean-style shabu-shabu?
Shabu-shabu came to Korea from Japan, and Korean restaurants made it their own.
The Korean version is a full meal, not just meat dipped in broth.
You cook thin beef and plenty of vegetables in a pot at your table.
After that, you cook noodles in the same broth.
At the end, rice is fried in the last of the soup.
The name kalguksu means "knife-cut noodles", a hearty Korean noodle soup.
So the meal ends with noodles and fried rice that taste like everything you just ate.
The four courses, in order
The signboard at our entrance shows the flow.
Here is how a meal goes at the table.
- Beef shabu: swish thin slices of beef in the hot broth for a few seconds.
- Vegetables: add the greens and mushrooms, and keep eating beef as you like.
- Kalguksu noodles (sari): add the noodles and let them cook in the broth.
- Fried rice: we cook rice with egg and vegetables in the pot to finish.
Take your time with the first two courses.
The broth gets richer as you go, and the last two courses taste better for it.
The broth is the thread that ties all four courses together.
Broth choices: spicy, clear or perilla
You pick one broth for your pot.
- Spicy (얼큰, eolkeun): red and hot, the classic Korean choice
- Clear (맑은, malgeun): light and clean, not spicy
- Perilla (들깨, deulkkae): a nutty, creamy-style broth made with perilla seeds
If you do not handle spicy food well, please skip the spicy broth.
The clear broth or the perilla broth is the safer pick for a first visit.

Why I trust what we serve
I do not want to oversell this, so here are the facts I can stand behind.
- We make our kimchi in the restaurant every day.
- Our vegetables and meat come from Garak Market in Seoul every day.
The photo below is from our kitchen, where the kimchi seasoning is being mixed by hand.
Fresh vegetables and daily kimchi are the two things I refuse to compromise on.
Comfort details for visitors
Small things matter when you travel, so here is what we have.
- Free building parking: there are only a few spots, so please do not count on it. If it is full, use a public parking lot nearby.
- Dyson hand dryer in the restroom and a Dyson air purifier in the dining hall
- Serving robot and a table order tablet, so you can order without calling anyone
- Seating: table seats, counter seats and group seats for 6 to 18 people
- Payment: easy pay apps, Zero Pay and local currency are accepted
As a shabu-shabu restaurant owner, I think tablet ordering and a serving robot keep the table calm.
You can ask for beef or vegetables again without waiting for a staff member to pass by.
The honest downsides
No restaurant is perfect.
These are the real downsides, so you can decide before you come.
- Easy to miss. We are on the 2nd floor, so first-time visitors often walk past. Use the directions below.
- Parking is limited. The building has only a few spots, and a public lot is the backup.
- Not great for solo diners. The main menu needs at least 2 orders, so a lone traveler may find it awkward.
- The spicy broth is spicy. If you do not like heat, pick the clear or perilla broth.
If you are traveling alone, bring a friend or a hotel neighbor and share one pot.
