On a weekday evening the meal ran as a course from cypress steam made with 12 medicinal herbs to shabu-shabu, rice-paper rolls, knife-cut noodles and egg porridge, and the cypress steam came with more meat than bean sprouts. With soup, pasta, tteokbokki (spicy rice cakes) and fries on the salad bar, Pyeonbaek Hoegwan is an easy choice for a family dinner with kids. ## Good to know - **Location**: 8-11 Haneulbyeolbit-ro 65beon-gil, Units 202 & 203, Yeongjong-gu, Incheon (near Haneul City Jinro Mart) - **Hours**: Daily 11:00–22:00, no break time - **Lunch discount**: 17,900 won from 11am to 3pm - **Parking**: Parking available; if the building lot is full, the Jinro Mart lot can be used - **Broth options**: Five: katsuo, spicy mushroom, doenjang chicken, sagol mala, sagol tomato - **Signature dish**: Cypress steam made with 12 medicinal herbs - **Amenities**: Playroom for kids *as written by the visitor on Sep 16, 2026* ![Cypress steam table setting at Pyeonbaek Hoegwan Main Branch in Yeongjong, Haneul New Town](https://img.superchart.com/images/pyeonbaek-hoegwan-yeongjong-haneul-city/pyeonbaek-hoegwan-yeongjong-haneul-city-01-18vwd-900.webp) ![Table shot at a cypress steam restaurant in Yeongjong, Haneul New Town](https://img.superchart.com/images/pyeonbaek-hoegwan-yeongjong-haneul-city/pyeonbaek-hoegwan-yeongjong-haneul-city-02-1eple-900.webp) *Cypress steam restaurant in Yeongjong Haneul New Town* ## Why visit Pyeonbaek Hoegwan in Jungsan-dong on a weekday evening?

There's also a playroom for kids, so it's a great 👍 spot for families with young children to eat out. ![Restaurant area with a playroom for kids](https://img.superchart.com/images/pyeonbaek-hoegwan-yeongjong-haneul-city/pyeonbaek-hoegwan-yeongjong-haneul-city-08-1dmtw-900.webp) ![Salad bar visible right from the entrance](https://img.superchart.com/images/pyeonbaek-hoegwan-yeongjong-haneul-city/pyeonbaek-hoegwan-yeongjong-haneul-city-09-116gk-900.webp) ## What's on the salad bar at Pyeonbaek Hoegwan?

This kind of spread is a must, especially if you're coming with kids! ![Plate of side dishes picked up from the salad bar](https://img.superchart.com/images/pyeonbaek-hoegwan-yeongjong-haneul-city/pyeonbaek-hoegwan-yeongjong-haneul-city-12-fo269-900.webp) ![Wide shot of vegetables and sauces at the salad bar](https://img.superchart.com/images/pyeonbaek-hoegwan-yeongjong-haneul-city/pyeonbaek-hoegwan-yeongjong-haneul-city-13-4kore-900.webp) ![Plates of shabu-shabu ingredients](https://img.superchart.com/images/pyeonbaek-hoegwan-yeongjong-haneul-city/pyeonbaek-hoegwan-yeongjong-haneul-city-14-x4pq6-899.webp) ![Table set up before cypress steam arrives, Haneul New Town](https://img.superchart.com/images/pyeonbaek-hoegwan-yeongjong-haneul-city/pyeonbaek-hoegwan-yeongjong-haneul-city-15-1ugtc-900.webp) *Haneul New Town cypress steam* ## First time at Pyeonbaek Hoegwan? How the course works Even first-time visitors have no trouble — staff kindly walk you through how everything works. ![Cypress steam pot with the lid still closed](https://img.superchart.com/images/pyeonbaek-hoegwan-yeongjong-haneul-city/pyeonbaek-hoegwan-yeongjong-haneul-city-16-1ri8k-m-900.webp) ### Cypress steam with 12 medicinal herbs Cypress steam comes out first, lid closed, and after some time the staff come by themselves to open it, so you don't have to sit there anxiously wondering when to open it. The moment the lid comes off, that gentle cypress aroma drifts up 👏👏👏👏👏👏. In Pyeonbaek Hoegwan's cypress steam, > the meat is genuinely generous Most places give you more bean sprouts than meat, but here there's way more meat, lol. I dipped it in Pyeonbaek Hoegwan's special sauce and ate it that way, ![Cypress steam meat dipped in the special sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/pyeonbaek-hoegwan-yeongjong-haneul-city/pyeonbaek-hoegwan-yeongjong-haneul-city-17-1x5v7-900.webp) *Pyeonbaek Hoegwan Main Branch* ![Wide shot of cypress steam meat and sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/pyeonbaek-hoegwan-yeongjong-haneul-city/pyeonbaek-hoegwan-yeongjong-haneul-city-18-flol2-900.webp) *Pyeonbaek Hoegwan Main Branch* and also brought over rice-paper roll ingredients to wrap it up as fresh rolls. ![Fresh rice-paper roll wrapped with rice paper](https://img.superchart.com/images/pyeonbaek-hoegwan-yeongjong-haneul-city/pyeonbaek-hoegwan-yeongjong-haneul-city-19-tbw2z-900.webp) ### The five shabu-shabu broths Once you've had your fill of the cypress steam, just ask staff to set up the shabu-shabu. > Katsuo, spicy mushroom, doenjang chicken, sagol mala, sagol tomato With 5 broth options, you can pick whichever suits your taste 🥬🍄🥟 ![Shabu-shabu broth pot set up in Haneul New Town](https://img.superchart.com/images/pyeonbaek-hoegwan-yeongjong-haneul-city/pyeonbaek-hoegwan-yeongjong-haneul-city-20-10jq2-1200.webp) *Haneul New Town shabu-shabu* ![Vegetables and dumplings added to boiling broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/pyeonbaek-hoegwan-yeongjong-haneul-city/pyeonbaek-hoegwan-yeongjong-haneul-city-21-183m8-900.webp) If your broth runs low while eating, there's refill broth ready at the salad bar — just go grab it and pour it in 👍 ![Two kinds of shabu-shabu meat served on plates](https://img.superchart.com/images/pyeonbaek-hoegwan-yeongjong-haneul-city/pyeonbaek-hoegwan-yeongjong-haneul-city-22-vl8fq-m-900.webp) I also refilled two kinds of meat for the shabu-shabu and tried them, > no gamey smell at all from the meat, so I was satisfied 👍 ![Shabu-shabu finished off with knife-cut noodles and egg porridge](https://img.superchart.com/images/pyeonbaek-hoegwan-yeongjong-haneul-city/pyeonbaek-hoegwan-yeongjong-haneul-city-23-iblq6-900.webp) *Pyeonbaek Hoegwan Main Branch* ## Finishing with knife-cut noodles, ramyeon or egg porridge After shabu-shabu, you can't skip the noodles or porridge at the end, hahahahaha. Here you can eat as much knife-cut noodles, ramyeon noodles, or egg porridge as you want. You can finish with knife-cut noodles in the broth, or make it spicy with ramyeon noodles — either works. And finishing off with egg porridge really rounds out the meal properly. > Cypress steam → shabu-shabu → rice-paper rolls → noodles → egg porridge work your way through all of that and you end up way fuller than expected. ![Table at Pyeonbaek Hoegwan Main Branch after the meal is finished](https://img.superchart.com/images/pyeonbaek-hoegwan-yeongjong-haneul-city/pyeonbaek-hoegwan-yeongjong-haneul-city-24-jquis-900.webp) ## Parking and how to find Pyeonbaek Hoegwan Pyeonbaek Hoegwan Main Branch is near Haneul City's Jinro Mart, so it's not hard to find, and it was convenient that parking support is offered if you're driving. ✔️ If there's no parking space in the building, you can also use the Jinro Mart parking lot!! ## Where it is - Pyeonbaek Hoegwan Main Branch (편백회관 본점) - 8-11 Haneulbyeolbit-ro 65beon-gil, Units 202 & 203, Yeongjong-gu, Incheon, South Korea - 인천광역시 영종구 하늘별빛로65번길 8-11 202호, 203호 - 37.4894958, 126.5625384 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%ED%8E%B8%EB%B0%B1%ED%9A%8C%EA%B4%80%20%EB%B3%B8%EC%A0%90/@37.4894958,126.5625384,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@bap-in-seoul/pyeonbaek-hoegwan-yeongjong-haneul-city/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
