On this lunch date, the order was sukiyaki for two with Prime Angus chuck flap as the meat choice and one extra vegetable plate, each slice dipped in raw egg yolk and the meal finished with yakisoba. The sweet-savory sukiyaki sauce with chuck flap is good enough that sukiyaki is the only thing worth ordering here. ## Good to know - **Order**: Sukiyaki for two + extra vegetables - **Meat choice**: Prime Angus chuck flap (eye of round on the previous visit) - **Finishing dish**: Yakisoba with sukiyaki; fried rice with shabu-shabu - **On the table**: Assorted sauces, cheongyang chili peppers and minced garlic, served generously - **Reservations**: Book ahead on CatchTable or Naver Reservation - **Location**: 1F, 61 Hangang-daero 62-gil, Yongsan-gu, Seoul *as written by the visitor on Sep 22, 2026* If you're looking for a lunch spot near Samgakji Station, here's my review of Shabu in Seoul Yongsan Main Branch! Went on a Yongsan date with my boyfriend after a while, and we ate at Shabu in Seoul, famous as a waiting-list restaurant — had their sukiyaki 🤎 and it was so good! Shabu-shabu is tasty too, but I always order sukiyaki whenever I visit, so let me introduce it in detail ✨ ![Sukiyaki spread at Shabu in Seoul Yongsan Main Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/shabu-in-seoul-sukiyaki-lunch-date/shabu-in-seoul-sukiyaki-lunch-date-01-n8tcx-1200.webp) ![Boiling sukiyaki hot pot](https://img.superchart.com/images/shabu-in-seoul-sukiyaki-lunch-date/shabu-in-seoul-sukiyaki-lunch-date-02-1ix6m-900.webp) ![Plated sukiyaki meat and vegetables](https://img.superchart.com/images/shabu-in-seoul-sukiyaki-lunch-date/shabu-in-seoul-sukiyaki-lunch-date-03-eb17u-900.webp) ![Sukiyaki on the table at Shabu in Seoul Yongsan Main Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/shabu-in-seoul-sukiyaki-lunch-date/shabu-in-seoul-sukiyaki-lunch-date-04-ngxh0-900.webp) ## Shabu in Seoul Yongsan Main Branch: the room and how to reserve Every table at Shabu in Seoul Yongsan Main Branch was so well set up!

I always order sukiyaki whenever I come — I think it's because they make the sukiyaki sauce so well that this place is basically a sukiyaki spot 💓 ## What comes on the table: sauces, chili and garlic There are various sauces prepared to go with the shabu-shabu and sukiyaki — every table at Shabu in Seoul comes generously set with a range of sauces, cheongyang chili peppers, and minced garlic, so it was easy to use. ![Sauces, cheongyang chili peppers, and minced garlic set on the table](https://img.superchart.com/images/shabu-in-seoul-sukiyaki-lunch-date/shabu-in-seoul-sukiyaki-lunch-date-09-11iqs-900.webp) And when ordering, referring to this sauce guide will make sure you order confidently and eat deliciously — I always go with sukiyaki whenever I visit 🤎 ![Card explaining how to eat it deliciously](https://img.superchart.com/images/shabu-in-seoul-sukiyaki-lunch-date/shabu-in-seoul-sukiyaki-lunch-date-10-ntwvc-900.webp) There's even a tip card for eating it deliciously, so it's worth checking out!! ## Sukiyaki for two with Prime Angus chuck flap and extra vegetables ![Sukiyaki for two with vegetables and meat set up](https://img.superchart.com/images/shabu-in-seoul-sukiyaki-lunch-date/shabu-in-seoul-sukiyaki-lunch-date-11-11zsg-900.webp) The delicious-looking vegetables and meat arrived!

If you like that nicely marbled, nutty flavor, I recommend the chuck flap~! ![Extra order of assorted vegetables and mushrooms](https://img.superchart.com/images/shabu-in-seoul-sukiyaki-lunch-date/shabu-in-seoul-sukiyaki-lunch-date-15-8vhje-900.webp) And since I love vegetables and mushrooms so much, I ordered one extra vegetable plate! If you love meat, I recommend adding extra meat instead 💓 Plump egg yolk ready for dipping 💛 They add the vegetables and meat in moderate amounts and start boiling it. Honestly the most exciting moment ㅠㅠㅠ ![Vegetables and meat added into the boiling sukiyaki](https://img.superchart.com/images/shabu-in-seoul-sukiyaki-lunch-date/shabu-in-seoul-sukiyaki-lunch-date-16-1tcvx-900.webp) ![Sukiyaki pot bubbling away](https://img.superchart.com/images/shabu-in-seoul-sukiyaki-lunch-date/shabu-in-seoul-sukiyaki-lunch-date-17-19trk-900.webp) Pulling out a piece of chuck flap from the bubbling broth to try 💓 ![Dipping cooked chuck flap into egg yolk](https://img.superchart.com/images/shabu-in-seoul-sukiyaki-lunch-date/shabu-in-seoul-sukiyaki-lunch-date-18-urwiv-900.webp) ![Piece of sukiyaki meat coated in egg yolk](https://img.superchart.com/images/shabu-in-seoul-sukiyaki-lunch-date/shabu-in-seoul-sukiyaki-lunch-date-19-x7h15-900.webp) The sukiyaki, soaked in that sweet-savory sauce and cooked through, dipped in the nutty egg yolk and popped in your mouth — out of this world delicious ㅠㅠ The sweet-savory sukiyaki sauce soaked into the tender chuck flap and seasoned it just right, and the richness from the egg yolk made it perfect 💓 Shabu in Seoul has such a wide variety of sauces that mixing and matching them means you never get tired of it..! And being able to taste so many different flavors — the best! ![Vegetables and tofu in the sukiyaki pot](https://img.superchart.com/images/shabu-in-seoul-sukiyaki-lunch-date/shabu-in-seoul-sukiyaki-lunch-date-20-1ytlj-899.webp) The meat is delicious, but the vegetables and tofu are really good too! It feels tasty and healthy at the same time ㅠㅠ This is why I can't quit shabu-shabu or sukiyaki ㅠㅠ Delicious food you can enjoy without feeling guilty!! ![Rice paper wrap filled with meat and vegetables](https://img.superchart.com/images/shabu-in-seoul-sukiyaki-lunch-date/shabu-in-seoul-sukiyaki-lunch-date-21-m6cbs-900.webp) Carefully soaking rice paper and wrapping up meat and vegetables in a Vietnamese-style wrap for the perfect 100% enjoyment! ## Finishing with yakisoba, then dessert ![Preparing the finishing yakisoba dish after sukiyaki](https://img.superchart.com/images/shabu-in-seoul-sukiyaki-lunch-date/shabu-in-seoul-sukiyaki-lunch-date-22-ah11a-900.webp) Once you've finished the sukiyaki, they prepare the next dish — for shabu-shabu it's fried rice, for sukiyaki it's yakisoba!!!! Made with the sukiyaki sauce, it's seriously amazing ㅠ Bonito flakes dancing away ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ I love this part too ㅠㅠ ![Yakisoba topped with bonito flakes](https://img.superchart.com/images/shabu-in-seoul-sukiyaki-lunch-date/shabu-in-seoul-sukiyaki-lunch-date-23-z2rsv-900.webp) ![마요네즈 소스 뿌린 야끼소바 한 접시](https://img.superchart.com/images/shabu-in-seoul-sukiyaki-lunch-date/shabu-in-seoul-sukiyaki-lunch-date-24-e0dc1-900.webp) A sweet-savory combo that can't possibly taste bad!!
