This time, I visited Deungchon Shabu Kalguksu Sangam Branch (등촌샤브칼국수 상암점) :) Deungchon Shabu Kalguksu is known for a meal that moves from shabu-shabu in a broth simmered with mushrooms and minari (water celery) to kalguksu and then fried rice! ![Clear mushroom shabu-shabu kalguksu at Deungchon Shabu Kalguksu Sangam Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/sangam-clear-shabu-kalguksu-course/sangam-clear-shabu-kalguksu-course-01-1eobs-1200.webp) ## Deungchon Shabu Kalguksu Sangam Branch hours and parking ![Store information for Deungchon Shabu Kalguksu Sangam Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/sangam-clear-shabu-kalguksu-course/sangam-clear-shabu-kalguksu-course-02-18vz7-900.webp) ![Store information for Deungchon Shabu Kalguksu Sangam Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/sangam-clear-shabu-kalguksu-course/sangam-clear-shabu-kalguksu-course-03-l6ld2-900.webp) - Mon–Fri 11:00–21:30 / break time 15:30–17:00 / last orders 14:30, 20:30 - Sat–Sun 11:00–21:00 / break time 16:00–17:00 / last orders 15:00, 20:00 - 1 hour free at Woori Technology Building parking lot (3 hours free on weekends and public holidays) ## The interior and table setting ![Interior of Deungchon Shabu Kalguksu Sangam Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/sangam-clear-shabu-kalguksu-course/sangam-clear-shabu-kalguksu-course-04-ka0nk-900.webp) ![Dining area at Deungchon Shabu Kalguksu Sangam Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/sangam-clear-shabu-kalguksu-course/sangam-clear-shabu-kalguksu-course-05-144lr-900.webp) Its current rating is 4.6! It seems to be a popular choice for people looking to have both shabu-shabu and kalguksu around Sangam. Given the menu, I thought it was better for sharing several dishes with friends, family, or coworkers than for a quick solo meal, hehe. ### Menu and broth choices ![Menu at Deungchon Shabu Kalguksu Sangam Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/sangam-clear-shabu-kalguksu-course/sangam-clear-shabu-kalguksu-course-06-1vo5p-900.webp) ![Menu offerings at Deungchon Shabu Kalguksu Sangam Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/sangam-clear-shabu-kalguksu-course/sangam-clear-shabu-kalguksu-course-07-96zst-900.webp) There are three broth options! Spicy, clear, and perilla seed :) ### Basic table setting ![Basic shabu-shabu kalguksu table setting](https://img.superchart.com/images/sangam-clear-shabu-kalguksu-course/sangam-clear-shabu-kalguksu-course-08-s48td-900.webp) ![Basic side dishes at Deungchon Shabu Kalguksu](https://img.superchart.com/images/sangam-clear-shabu-kalguksu-course/sangam-clear-shabu-kalguksu-course-09-1h29w-900.webp) The basic setting was neat, and the staff were kind too! (They’ll bring more kimchi if you ask.) The food comes out quickly once you order as well :) ## What does the clear mushroom shabu-shabu kalguksu taste like? ![Clear mushroom shabu-shabu kalguksu](https://img.superchart.com/images/sangam-clear-shabu-kalguksu-course/sangam-clear-shabu-kalguksu-course-10-1f8ig-900.webp) ![Mushroom shabu-shabu with clear broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/sangam-clear-shabu-kalguksu-course/sangam-clear-shabu-kalguksu-course-11-1v4c3-900.webp) Clear mushroom shabu-shabu kalguksu! That’s what I ordered. Many people think first of Deungchon Shabu Kalguksu’s spicy mushroom kalguksu, but I wanted a broth that wasn’t too intense that day, so I chose the clear one! The clear mushroom kalguksu is a mild dish without heat, so it’s easy to appreciate the flavor of the broth itself. The mushrooms and minari add a gently fragrant note too! ![Clear broth with mushrooms and minari](https://img.superchart.com/images/sangam-clear-shabu-kalguksu-course/sangam-clear-shabu-kalguksu-course-12-jfss7-900.webp) ![Clear mushroom shabu-shabu simmering](https://img.superchart.com/images/sangam-clear-shabu-kalguksu-course/sangam-clear-shabu-kalguksu-course-13-52ovm-900.webp) Once the broth starts to boil, the minari and mushrooms soften and naturally infuse it with flavor. That’s the perfect time to start eating the shabu-shabu~! ![Shabu-shabu set with potatoes](https://img.superchart.com/images/sangam-clear-shabu-kalguksu-course/sangam-clear-shabu-kalguksu-course-14-89qi9-900.webp) ![Ingredients for clear mushroom shabu-shabu](https://img.superchart.com/images/sangam-clear-shabu-kalguksu-course/sangam-clear-shabu-kalguksu-course-15-1i65d-900.webp) There were lots of fluffy potatoes too 🥔 And I added meat~ The standard order doesn’t come with meat, so you need to add it separately. An extra serving of shabu meat is ₩11,000! ![Shabu-shabu with extra mushrooms and minari](https://img.superchart.com/images/sangam-clear-shabu-kalguksu-course/sangam-clear-shabu-kalguksu-course-16-v036i-900.webp) Rather than loading up on only meat for shabu-shabu, I like having plenty of mushrooms and minari, so I added them. As expected, all those vegetables made the broth feel fuller and made the meal more fun too 👍 👍 ## From shabu-shabu to kalguksu and fried rice ![Shabu-shabu, kalguksu, and fried rice course](https://img.superchart.com/images/sangam-clear-shabu-kalguksu-course/sangam-clear-shabu-kalguksu-course-17-b6wcb-900.webp) The biggest appeal of Deungchon Shabu Kalguksu is that it isn’t over after one dish—you can enjoy it like a course that goes shabu-shabu → kalguksu → fried rice! ![Thinly sliced beef cooking in clear broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/sangam-clear-shabu-kalguksu-course/sangam-clear-shabu-kalguksu-course-18-1iqx1-900.webp) ![Beef and vegetable shabu-shabu](https://img.superchart.com/images/sangam-clear-shabu-kalguksu-course/sangam-clear-shabu-kalguksu-course-19-wmlrk-900.webp) First, add the thinly sliced beef to the simmering clear broth, cook it lightly, and eat it with the mushrooms and minari~ When you add kalguksu noodles to the broth and let them cook, the flavors of the mushrooms and meat from earlier deepen the broth much more than at the start~ A bowl of warm broth and chewy noodles really fills you up! ### Fried rice to finish! ![Fried rice after the shabu-shabu meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/sangam-clear-shabu-kalguksu-course/sangam-clear-shabu-kalguksu-course-20-19ebj-900.webp) (If you ask the staff, they’ll fry it up for you.) Fried rice is the one thing it would be a shame to skip at Deungchon Shabu Kalguksu. ![Fried rice prepared by a staff member](https://img.superchart.com/images/sangam-clear-shabu-kalguksu-course/sangam-clear-shabu-kalguksu-course-21-1i4tk-900.webp) ![Fried rice to finish the shabu-shabu meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/sangam-clear-shabu-kalguksu-course/sangam-clear-shabu-kalguksu-course-22-eovn6-900.webp) The meal includes finishing with fried rice in the remaining broth after the shabu-shabu and kalguksu, so from beginning to end, it’s surprisingly. very. filling. ## For days when you need clear broth It’s good when you need a substantial lunch, and it’s also a nice place to visit after work when you’re craving shabu-shabu in warm broth! Best of all, choosing the clear broth makes it easy to visit with someone who can’t handle spicy food~ ![Warm clear-broth shabu-shabu](https://img.superchart.com/images/sangam-clear-shabu-kalguksu-course/sangam-clear-shabu-kalguksu-course-23-gejfy-900.webp) ![Meal at Deungchon Shabu Kalguksu Sangam Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/sangam-clear-shabu-kalguksu-course/sangam-clear-shabu-kalguksu-course-24-wko7o-900.webp) If you want warm shabu-shabu and kalguksu together in Sangam, Mapo, I recommend Deungchon Shabu Kalguksu Sangam Branch! ## Where it is - Deungchon Shabu Kalguksu Sangam Branch (등촌샤브칼국수 상암점) (등촌샤브칼국수 상암점) - 9 World Cup buk-ro 56-gil, Mapo-gu, Seoul, South Korea - 서울특별시 마포구 월드컵북로56길 9 우리기술사옥 2층 - 37.5814131, 126.8876627 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EB%93%B1%EC%B4%8C%EC%83%A4%EB%B8%8C%EC%B9%BC%EA%B5%AD%EC%88%98%20%EC%83%81%EC%95%94%EC%A0%90/@37.5814131,126.8876627,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@brush-cup-entries/sangam-clear-shabu-kalguksu-course/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
