I visited at 13:30 on a Saturday for lunch; one team was waiting ahead of us, so we got in after around 10 minutes. ![Restaurant interior filled with diners](https://img.superchart.com/images/busan-munhyeon-shabu-lunch-waiting/busan-munhyeon-shabu-lunch-waiting-06-m34s1-966.webp) Even though it was a late lunch close to 14:00, the restaurant was full of people haha. It is also a restaurant with enough seating when you are looking for a group meal or gathering spot in Munhyeon-dong. ![Restaurant seating suitable for group meals](https://img.superchart.com/images/busan-munhyeon-shabu-lunch-waiting/busan-munhyeon-shabu-lunch-waiting-07-him0q-966.webp) High chairs are ready too, so it seems like a nice place to visit when looking for a Munhyeon-dong restaurant with kids. ![High chair inside the restaurant](https://img.superchart.com/images/busan-munhyeon-shabu-lunch-waiting/busan-munhyeon-shabu-lunch-waiting-08-1cz31-966.webp) There is a noodle-making room at the front, making the kalguksu here look even more promising! ![Noodle-making room and receipt-review notice at the restaurant front](https://img.superchart.com/images/busan-munhyeon-shabu-lunch-waiting/busan-munhyeon-shabu-lunch-waiting-09-1fbqy-966.webp) Write a receipt review and you get a whole serving of sirloin for free! The restrooms are inside the restaurant and separated by gender, so they are convenient to use. ## Shabu kalguksu broths and how to order ![Yunujae Munhyeon Shabu Kalguksu menu](https://img.superchart.com/images/busan-munhyeon-shabu-lunch-waiting/busan-munhyeon-shabu-lunch-waiting-10-klrx5-794.webp) This is the Yunujae Munhyeon Shabu Kalguksu menu. Shabu kalguksu is the main dish, and you can choose Red One broth (regular or spicy) or White One broth (mild, regular, or spicy). The red broth is beef-bone based, while the white broth is based on anchovy and kelp. Choose according to your taste. If you need more, add extra ingredients, or try the crunchy-outside, tender-inside Ppaksak Seafood Pajeon! ![Shabu kalguksu menu information](https://img.superchart.com/images/busan-munhyeon-shabu-lunch-waiting/busan-munhyeon-shabu-lunch-waiting-11-wiegx-966.webp) ![Tablet for ordering at the table](https://img.superchart.com/images/busan-munhyeon-shabu-lunch-waiting/busan-munhyeon-shabu-lunch-waiting-12-7z3of-966.webp) ![Instructions for enjoying shabu kalguksu](https://img.superchart.com/images/busan-munhyeon-shabu-lunch-waiting/busan-munhyeon-shabu-lunch-waiting-13-4pc99-966.webp) Ordering is easy using the tablet at the table, and the table explains how to enjoy your meal, so have a look before digging in. ## Two servings of Red One shabu kalguksu We ordered two servings of Red One and seafood pajeon. ![Kimchi served as a shabu kalguksu side dish](https://img.superchart.com/images/busan-munhyeon-shabu-lunch-waiting/busan-munhyeon-shabu-lunch-waiting-14-euo2x-966.webp) ![Self-service bar with kimchi and cubed radish kimchi](https://img.superchart.com/images/busan-munhyeon-shabu-lunch-waiting/busan-munhyeon-shabu-lunch-waiting-15-qnsfb-966.webp) The basic side dish is fresh-style kimchi. If you need more, use the self-service bar, which also has cubed radish kimchi and refill broth. ![Shabu-shabu ingredients with minari and mushrooms](https://img.superchart.com/images/busan-munhyeon-shabu-lunch-waiting/busan-munhyeon-shabu-lunch-waiting-16-33336-966.webp) The main event, shabu-shabu! It always satisfies me with a generous amount of fragrant minari (water celery) and soft-textured mushrooms. ![Sirloin beef for shabu-shabu](https://img.superchart.com/images/busan-munhyeon-shabu-lunch-waiting/busan-munhyeon-shabu-lunch-waiting-17-kicc4-966.webp) The sirloin for the shabu is good-quality meat too! Such a lovely color, right? ![Sujebi ingredients for shabu kalguksu](https://img.superchart.com/images/busan-munhyeon-shabu-lunch-waiting/busan-munhyeon-shabu-lunch-waiting-18-5n592-966.webp) ![Fried-rice ingredients for shabu kalguksu](https://img.superchart.com/images/busan-munhyeon-shabu-lunch-waiting/busan-munhyeon-shabu-lunch-waiting-19-j2lgl-966.webp) ![Shabu beef going into bubbling broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/busan-munhyeon-shabu-lunch-waiting/busan-munhyeon-shabu-lunch-waiting-20-6an2c-966.webp) I love that it comes as such a generous spread, including sujebi (hand-torn dough flakes) and ingredients for fried rice. Once the broth is bubbling, add the meat first for a little protein. The clean, delicious meat has no off smell and tastes even better dipped in wasabi soy sauce. Next, the kalguksu! The house-made noodles are chewy, which made them even more delicious. Kalguksu needs good kimchi, after all, and Yunujae Munhyeon Shabu Kalguksu has delicious kimchi, so you can enjoy the noodles properly too. 👍🏻 ![Chewy house-made kalguksu noodles](https://img.superchart.com/images/busan-munhyeon-shabu-lunch-waiting/busan-munhyeon-shabu-lunch-waiting-21-1c49i-3000.webp) ![Fried rice finished in the broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/busan-munhyeon-shabu-lunch-waiting/busan-munhyeon-shabu-lunch-waiting-22-zg0sf-900.webp) Of course, fried rice is the finish! Leave just a little broth to fry it, or leave it a little soupier and make it like juk (rice porridge)—whichever you prefer! The broth is tasty to begin with, so both the fried rice and porridge are delicious. ## How the Ppaksak Seafood Pajeon tastes ![Ppaksak Seafood Pajeon](https://img.superchart.com/images/busan-munhyeon-shabu-lunch-waiting/busan-munhyeon-shabu-lunch-waiting-23-ewkvy-966.webp) Ppaksak Seafood Pajeon! As its name says, it is not merely crispy—it is ppaksak crispy. ![Thick scallion pancake with seafood and chili peppers](https://img.superchart.com/images/busan-munhyeon-shabu-lunch-waiting/busan-munhyeon-shabu-lunch-waiting-24-rzh9g-966.webp) This is a thick pajeon (Korean scallion pancake) filled with squid, clams, chili peppers, scallions, and more: crispy outside and tender inside, exactly that. The squid and shrimp were plump, substantial pieces too, making it satisfying to bite into. Do note that Ppaksak Seafood Pajeon has chili peppers, so it has a slight kick! ## A satisfying meal from shabu-shabu through fried rice > The meeting of clean shabu kalguksu and crispy seafood pajeon Yunujae Munhyeon Shabu Kalguksu is a great place to visit when you want both shabu-shabu and kalguksu. With deeply flavored broth, quality meat, chewy house-made kalguksu, and fried rice to finish, it is a Munhyeon-dong restaurant where you can fill up on a hearty meal. This is a restaurant I visited from time to time already, and I revisited when my girlfriend came to Busan to hang out—and once again, we ate very well. A Busan kalguksu spot that is even better as the cold wind starts blowing these days! If you are craving kalguksu, give it a visit! ## Where it is - Yunujae Munhyeon Shabu Kalguksu (윤우재 문현샤브 칼국수) - 26 Suyeong-ro, Nam-gu, Busan, South Korea (Daerim Munhyeon City Plaza, Units 158–161) - 부산광역시 남구 수영로 26 대림문현시티프라자 158호-161호 - 35.1365531, 129.0703709 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%9C%A4%EC%9A%B0%EC%9E%AC%20%EB%AC%B8%ED%98%84%EC%83%A4%EB%B8%8C%20%EC%B9%BC%EA%B5%AD%EC%88%98/@35.1365531,129.0703709,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@along-restaurant-row/busan-munhyeon-shabu-lunch-waiting/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
