Inside Shabu In Seoul Apgujeong Rodeo: are there private rooms?
The moment I stepped inside, the calm, modern interior caught my eye.
The regular tables have generous spacing, so it feels comfortable. There's also a private room in the back, which would be perfect for anyone looking for a spot for a group meal in Apgujeong. The whole place has a pampered feeling, so it crossed my mind that it'd work well for taking your parents out or even a date.

Weekday lunch deal: black pork belly shabu set at 20% off
I visited during lunchtime, and it happened to be the weekday lunch event, so I got 20% off both the black pork belly set and the beef chuck set. Here's what I ordered:
- 1st-grade black pork belly shabu set
- Handmade raw shrimp balls
- Extra meat (sirloin flap)
- Napa cabbage
- Assorted mushrooms
- Rice paper
- Matcha ice cream
How to cook the black pork belly in the spicy mushroom broth
The black pork belly, freshly set on the table, had that vivid pink color that screams fresh. Here's a tip: once the spicy mushroom broth starts bubbling, taste the plain broth first, then add the grated garlic and chili provided, to your taste. I loaded up on grated garlic and the savory flavor really came alive!
I'd recommend mixing grated garlic and chili into the basic sauces too, to your taste.
Handmade raw shrimp balls, 10,000 won
The handmade raw shrimp balls I'd been looking forward to were fun — you shape the balls yourself and cook them in the shabu-shabu broth. This thing is a real treasure: the moment I bit in, the raw shrimp's crunchy, bouncy texture completely surprised me. (No wonder it's the best-seller, ㅠㅠ♥)
Both the pork and the beef had their own charm, and both were delicious.. ෆ
Baby napa cabbage 4,000 won and assorted mushrooms 6,000 won
We ordered extra napa cabbage and assorted mushrooms, both favorites of mine.
Rice paper for wrapping (12 sheets), 2,000 won
There's no separate warm water for the rice paper — instead you dip it right into the shabu broth and wrap meat and vegetables in it. The spicy broth's seasoning soaked in moist and delicious, which made it even more appealing!
Finishing course by broth: the rosé risotto
Something unique about this Gangnam restaurant: the dessert course depends on which broth you chose. Since we picked the spicy mushroom broth, our dessert was rosé risotto! A staff member came over and made it carefully at the table — with shrimp mixed in for a bit of chew, and a creamy texture that was excellent. They also served a refreshing omija tea (five-flavor berry tea) alongside, which felt nice for cleansing the palate.
Matcha ice cream for dessert, 5,000 won
We wrapped up with the matcha ice cream, which was clean and not too sweet! Visually it's a deep, intense green, and one spoonful brings out a subtle, slightly bitter matcha flavor. If you're expecting a very sweet ice cream, keep in mind this one leans bitter and low-sugar, so it might be a hit-or-miss depending on your taste!
