On a flu-ridden evening that called for hot broth, the order was beef shabu-shabu for 2 plus 2 extra servings of beef, with dagadi (spicy chili paste) stirred into the broth on request. Barley rice, dumplings, chive-flecked house-made kalguksu and sulbbang (steamed rice cake) at the end made it a full, warming meal. ## Good to know - **Address**: 129 Gangbyeon-ro, Anjung-eup, Pyeongtaek-si, Gyeonggi-do - **Hours**: Tue–Sun 09:00–21:00 (closed every Monday) - **Parking**: Large parking area in front of the restaurant - **What we ordered**: Beef shabu-shabu for 2 + 2 extra servings of beef - **Good to know**: Takeout discount, groups welcome, separate men's and women's restrooms, high chairs, takeout available - **Self-serve corner**: Broth, kimchi, garlic, cheongyang chili peppers *as written by the visitor on Sep 18, 2026* ![Beef shabu-shabu table spread at Songdam Kalguksu in Anjung, Pyeongtaek](https://img.superchart.com/images/pyeongtaek-anjung-spicy-beef-shabu-kalguksu/pyeongtaek-anjung-spicy-beef-shabu-kalguksu-01-heyp2-1200.webp) I like both kalguksu (hand-cut noodle soup) and shabu-shabu, so I went looking for a place that does both at once, and ended up at [Songdam Kalguksu] in Pyeongtaek! Honestly I had the flu plus some other stuff going on that day and just felt awful, so cooking dinner was the last thing I wanted to do 😭 I wanted something hot, so shabu-shabu it was ⭐️ ## Where is Songdam Kalguksu?

It felt like a comfortable place to stop by for lunch or dinner without any pressure! I tried to keep other diners out of the interior shots. ![Interior of Songdam Kalguksu with generously spaced tables](https://img.superchart.com/images/pyeongtaek-anjung-spicy-beef-shabu-kalguksu/pyeongtaek-anjung-spicy-beef-shabu-kalguksu-04-1j4ek-900.webp) ## Ordering beef shabu-shabu and asking for spicy dagadi We ordered two servings of beef shabu-shabu at Songdam Kalguksu ✔️ (plus two more servings of beef added on). If you ask for it spicy when ordering, they bring out dagadi (chili paste condiment) on the side so you can adjust the heat to your taste, which I loved. ![Menu board at Songdam Kalguksu](https://img.superchart.com/images/pyeongtaek-anjung-spicy-beef-shabu-kalguksu/pyeongtaek-anjung-spicy-beef-shabu-kalguksu-05-1y04m-900.webp) They even kindly write out how to eat it for the best flavor haha ![Sign explaining how to best enjoy the shabu-shabu](https://img.superchart.com/images/pyeongtaek-anjung-spicy-beef-shabu-kalguksu/pyeongtaek-anjung-spicy-beef-shabu-kalguksu-06-ppoan-900.webp) Apparently Songdam Kalguksu's shabu village broth is made by simmering various seafood, hwangtae (dried pollack), vegetables, and sanghwang mushroom for a long time, and they use it as an all-purpose cooking broth. ![Sign describing the ingredients in the shabu village broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/pyeongtaek-anjung-spicy-beef-shabu-kalguksu/pyeongtaek-anjung-spicy-beef-shabu-kalguksu-07-9zfb8-900.webp) The self-serve corner has broth, kimchi, garlic and cheongyang chili peppers, and they've got high chairs too. ![Self-serve corner with broth, kimchi, garlic and cheongyang chili peppers](https://img.superchart.com/images/pyeongtaek-anjung-spicy-beef-shabu-kalguksu/pyeongtaek-anjung-spicy-beef-shabu-kalguksu-08-x6nxh-899.webp) Here's the two servings of beef shabu-shabu we ordered, plus the two extra beef plates haha We went ahead and added two more beef plates so we could really pig out! ![Two servings of beef shabu-shabu plus extra beef laid out](https://img.superchart.com/images/pyeongtaek-anjung-spicy-beef-shabu-kalguksu/pyeongtaek-anjung-spicy-beef-shabu-kalguksu-09-ahnk8-900.webp) ![Shabu-shabu broth boiling in the pot](https://img.superchart.com/images/pyeongtaek-anjung-spicy-beef-shabu-kalguksu/pyeongtaek-anjung-spicy-beef-shabu-kalguksu-10-lxsi2-900.webp) ![Plate of vegetables for the shabu-shabu](https://img.superchart.com/images/pyeongtaek-anjung-spicy-beef-shabu-kalguksu/pyeongtaek-anjung-spicy-beef-shabu-kalguksu-11-de57a-900.webp) ![Dagadi chili paste served on request for a spicy broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/pyeongtaek-anjung-spicy-beef-shabu-kalguksu/pyeongtaek-anjung-spicy-beef-shabu-kalguksu-12-a78bk-900.webp) A wonderfully full spread 🖤 Stirred the dagadi in first to make it spicy! Cold, please go away ㅠㅠ 🤒 ![Spicy shabu-shabu broth after stirring in the dagadi](https://img.superchart.com/images/pyeongtaek-anjung-spicy-beef-shabu-kalguksu/pyeongtaek-anjung-spicy-beef-shabu-kalguksu-13-1yko1-900.webp) ## Barley rice, woo-samgyeop beef slices and dumplings At Songdam Kalguksu, barley rice came out along with the basic table setting, and it was nice to eat a spoonful before diving into the shabu-shabu properly. This part was delicious too ෆ⸒⸒ ![Barley rice served with the basic table setting](https://img.superchart.com/images/pyeongtaek-anjung-spicy-beef-shabu-kalguksu/pyeongtaek-anjung-spicy-beef-shabu-kalguksu-14-z8qv8-900.webp) ![A bowl of barley rice ready to mix](https://img.superchart.com/images/pyeongtaek-anjung-spicy-beef-shabu-kalguksu/pyeongtaek-anjung-spicy-beef-shabu-kalguksu-15-1mb9n-900.webp) ![Neatly plated beef woo-samgyeop](https://img.superchart.com/images/pyeongtaek-anjung-spicy-beef-shabu-kalguksu/pyeongtaek-anjung-spicy-beef-shabu-kalguksu-16-16gvb-900.webp) The vegetables were served generously and the beef came out neatly plated too. We put the vegetables into the bubbling broth first, cooked them, and then added the beef piece by piece — the meat was so tender it was easy to keep eating haha It was woo-samgyeop (beef short plate) so it was super soft and delicious. ![Cooked woo-samgyeop lifted out of the broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/pyeongtaek-anjung-spicy-beef-shabu-kalguksu/pyeongtaek-anjung-spicy-beef-shabu-kalguksu-17-1l8sg-900.webp) The dumplings were yum too 🖤 ![Dumplings cooked in the shabu-shabu broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/pyeongtaek-anjung-spicy-beef-shabu-kalguksu/pyeongtaek-anjung-spicy-beef-shabu-kalguksu-18-1h7hf-900.webp) Glad we added extra meat haha eating it this generously was so good ![Shabu-shabu pot filled generously with extra meat](https://img.superchart.com/images/pyeongtaek-anjung-spicy-beef-shabu-kalguksu/pyeongtaek-anjung-spicy-beef-shabu-kalguksu-19-mh83f-900.webp) ![Spicy shabu-shabu broth infused with all the ingredients](https://img.superchart.com/images/pyeongtaek-anjung-spicy-beef-shabu-kalguksu/pyeongtaek-anjung-spicy-beef-shabu-kalguksu-20-31y27-900.webp) ## House-made kalguksu with chives, then sulbbang to finish After enjoying the shabu-shabu for a while, it was time for the kalguksu — you can't skip it 🤍 ![House-made kalguksu noodles with chives mixed in](https://img.superchart.com/images/pyeongtaek-anjung-spicy-beef-shabu-kalguksu/pyeongtaek-anjung-spicy-beef-shabu-kalguksu-21-uih7l-900.webp) ![Kalguksu noodles cooked in the shabu-shabu broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/pyeongtaek-anjung-spicy-beef-shabu-kalguksu/pyeongtaek-anjung-spicy-beef-shabu-kalguksu-22-p0jgo-900.webp) After enjoying plenty of meat and vegetables, all those flavors had already infused the broth, so adding the kalguksu noodles and cooking them in made everything taste so much deeper. The noodles are house-made and actually have chives mixed right into the dough! Incredibly chewy... ෆ Sulbbang (steamed rice cake) was also part of the course, and it was a nice way to cleanse the palate at the end. ![Sulbbang served as the finishing course](https://img.superchart.com/images/pyeongtaek-anjung-spicy-beef-shabu-kalguksu/pyeongtaek-anjung-spicy-beef-shabu-kalguksu-23-la20e-900.webp) ![A piece of sulbbang eaten as a palate cleanser](https://img.superchart.com/images/pyeongtaek-anjung-spicy-beef-shabu-kalguksu/pyeongtaek-anjung-spicy-beef-shabu-kalguksu-24-wuhfd-900.webp) ## Who will enjoy Songdam Kalguksu in Anjung, Pyeongtaek If you want to enjoy shabu-shabu and kalguksu together in Pyeongtaek, Songdam Kalguksu is worth a visit!
