I had two servings of Bohyang black garlic shabu-kalguksu, extra meat, and crispy potato pancake; the spicy broth was refreshing, while the noodles and five-color fried rice felt easy on the stomach. A hearty yet clean meal worth trying. ## Good to know - **Address**: 107–108, 1F, Magok Botanic Park Plaza, 46 Magokdong-ro 10-gil, Gangseo-gu, Seoul, South Korea - **Hours**: Daily 11:00–21:00 - **Bohyang black garlic shabu-kalguksu**: ₩10,000 per serving - **Extra shabu meat**: 200 g, ₩11,000 - **Crispy potato pancake**: ₩6,900 *as written by the visitor on Sep 10, 2026* I was looking for food that would be good for the body, so I visited Yangcheon Shabu Son Kalguksu (양천샤브손칼국수), Magok Main Branch, near Seoul Botanic Park. ![Shabu-kalguksu table spread at Yangcheon Shabu Son Kalguksu, Magok Main Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/magok-shabu-kalguksu-heukmaneul/magok-shabu-kalguksu-heukmaneul-01-17p0c-1200.webp) First, look at this spread. It already looks so neat and delicious, right? At Yangcheon Shabu Son Kalguksu in Magok, you can enjoy shabu-shabu with spicy, perilla-seed, clear, and other broths depending on your mood that day. There are also potato pancakes, minari (water celery) pancakes loaded with seafood, rolled dumplings, and plenty of other options, so it is easy to pick what you feel like eating! ## The meal verdict first > The spicy-broth shabu-shabu was refreshing and had much less of that seasoning-heavy taste, which I liked. The kalguksu (knife-cut noodles) and five-color fried rice also felt easy on the stomach, which was nice. The potato pancake was crisp and delicious too—great as a drinking snack! ## Between Yangcheon Hyanggyo Station and Seoul Botanic Park ### Exterior It was located near Yangcheon Hyanggyo Station, between the station and Seoul Botanic Park. ![Exterior of Yangcheon Shabu Son Kalguksu, Magok Main Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/magok-shabu-kalguksu-heukmaneul/magok-shabu-kalguksu-heukmaneul-02-1l3bm-966.webp) ### Spacious seating inside The dining area was roomy with lots of seats, so it seemed good for get-togethers with family, friends, or coworkers, right? There were lots of office workers, groups of friends, and family diners—I got the feeling that guests of every age came by. ![Spacious interior of Yangcheon Shabu Son Kalguksu, Magok Main Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/magok-shabu-kalguksu-heukmaneul/magok-shabu-kalguksu-heukmaneul-03-fd1ol-966.webp) There was plenty of seating farther inside too, so it seemed like a comfortable place for families or couples to eat. (There were so many customers that I could not photograph the whole interior!) ## Ordering Bohyang black garlic shabu-kalguksu and potato pancake - Bohyang black garlic shabu-kalguksu for 2 (₩10,000 per serving) - Extra shabu meat, 200 g (₩11,000) - Crispy potato pancake (₩6,900) We first ordered two servings of the signature Bohyang black garlic shabu-kalguksu, plus 200 g of extra shabu meat. ![Bohyang black garlic shabu-kalguksu and extra meat order](https://img.superchart.com/images/magok-shabu-kalguksu-heukmaneul/magok-shabu-kalguksu-heukmaneul-04-1utd7-966.webp) A ttukbaegi (earthenware pot) packed with minari came out first! ![Shabu-kalguksu ttukbaegi packed with minari](https://img.superchart.com/images/magok-shabu-kalguksu-heukmaneul/magok-shabu-kalguksu-heukmaneul-05-1s2c9-966.webp) There were so many vegetables that I turned them over—and it was great to find a huge amount of bean sprouts underneath too! ![Shabu-kalguksu with bean sprouts and vegetables](https://img.superchart.com/images/magok-shabu-kalguksu-heukmaneul/magok-shabu-kalguksu-heukmaneul-06-6x77j-966.webp) The 200 g of shabu-shabu meat came out too. The portion was better than I expected, and we enjoyed it! ![200 g serving of extra shabu-shabu meat](https://img.superchart.com/images/magok-shabu-kalguksu-heukmaneul/magok-shabu-kalguksu-heukmaneul-07-2k333-966.webp) Maybe because the kalguksu uses black garlic, it definitely felt gentle and satisfying on the stomach. I later learned that the broth is made by simmering Korean beef bone stock with eight medicinal herbs. ![Black garlic kalguksu and Korean beef bone broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/magok-shabu-kalguksu-heukmaneul/magok-shabu-kalguksu-heukmaneul-08-1xoiv-966.webp) This perilla-oil five-color rice for fried rice also comes out like this. It was not just pretty in color—the flavor was clean and nice too. ![Perilla-oil five-color rice for fried rice](https://img.superchart.com/images/magok-shabu-kalguksu-heukmaneul/magok-shabu-kalguksu-heukmaneul-09-13wux-966.webp) Dipping the shabu-shabu into that spicy broth was so refreshing and tasty! ![Shabu-shabu dipped in spicy broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/magok-shabu-kalguksu-heukmaneul/magok-shabu-kalguksu-heukmaneul-10-4vrna-966.webp) After we had finished the rest, we ate the kalguksu. It was easy on the stomach, springy, and delicious! ![Springy kalguksu enjoyed after the meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/magok-shabu-kalguksu-heukmaneul/magok-shabu-kalguksu-heukmaneul-11-ef5ya-966.webp) Of course, you have to finish with fried rice, right? They say it tastes even better if you make it somewhere between juk (rice porridge) and fried rice! And because the food was so good, I just did not want the meal to end..! ![Shabu-kalguksu meal finished with fried rice](https://img.superchart.com/images/magok-shabu-kalguksu-heukmaneul/magok-shabu-kalguksu-heukmaneul-12-hdzrb-966.webp) We also ordered a crispy potato pancake. We were already full, but its chewy texture made it a special treat! ## The basic table setting and hovenia fruit tea They first serve fresh geotjeori kimchi. I do not know whether they make it themselves, but it was delicious, so I had more a few times! ![Fresh geotjeori kimchi served as part of the basic table setting](https://img.superchart.com/images/magok-shabu-kalguksu-heukmaneul/magok-shabu-kalguksu-heukmaneul-13-1a59l-966.webp) They even serve hovenia fruit tea instead of water, which made it seem like a place that is truly serious about nourishing food. ![Hovenia fruit tea served as a complimentary drink](https://img.superchart.com/images/magok-shabu-kalguksu-heukmaneul/magok-shabu-kalguksu-heukmaneul-14-1lyg1-966.webp) With a nourishing broth like this, plus shabu-shabu, kalguksu, and fried rice, it seems like you can have a healthy, filling lunch all in one go!
