Every seat at Nahonsha has its own induction stove and personal pot, so a clear broth shabu-shabu for one, finished with kalguksu noodles and self-serve porridge, never feels awkward, and coat hooks and bag lockers keep solo diners' things out of the way. Nahonsha is a solid choice when you want to eat shabu-shabu properly on your own. ## Good to know - **Location**: 42 Dokmak-ro, 1st floor, Mapo-gu, Seoul (near Hapjeong and Sangsu stations) - **Hours**: Mon–Fri 11:30–21:00 / Sat 12:00–21:00 - **Closed**: Sundays - **Break time**: 15:00–18:00 - **Last order**: 14:30 / 20:30 - **Ordered**: Clear broth shabu-shabu for one + self-serve porridge - **Broth options**: Clear, spicy, miso, mala, tomato - **Seating**: One induction stove and personal pot per seat, window seats available - **Amenities**: Coat hooks, bag lockers *as written by the visitor on Sep 20, 2026* Today I was looking for somewhere to eat alone in Hapjeong and found a new spot. I've eaten plenty of solo meals like gukbap (soup with rice) or burgers, but solo shabu-shabu is surprisingly rare, right? Nahonsha, though, has a one-person induction stove and personal pot set up at every single seat, so you can enjoy shabu-shabu properly on your own without feeling self-conscious! From clear broth to spicy, miso, mala, and tomato, there were plenty of broth options, and I finished it off properly with kalguksu (knife-cut noodles) and even porridge at the end. Let me introduce Nahonsha, a Sangsu and Hapjeong Station spot. ## Nahonsha's opening hours and break time Nahonsha is open 11:30–21:00 Monday through Friday, and 12:00–21:00 on Saturdays, with Sundays off. Break time is 15:00–18:00, and last order is at 14:30 / 20:30. It's open from lunch through late evening until 9pm, but since there's a break time in between, I'd recommend checking the hours before you go! ## Inside Nahonsha: storefront, atmosphere and one induction stove per seat Nahonsha is a new spot on the first floor along Dokmak-ro, so the exterior has a clean, polished look overall. The plants and wood-toned walls blend together naturally, giving off a prettier and more put-together vibe than I expected. ![Nahonsha's exterior decorated with wood-toned walls and plants](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-solo-shabu-nahonsha-clear-broth/hapjeong-solo-shabu-nahonsha-clear-broth-01-ebpf0-m-900.webp) ![Coat hook and bag locker inside the restaurant](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-solo-shabu-nahonsha-clear-broth/hapjeong-solo-shabu-nahonsha-clear-broth-02-1psiq-900.webp) There were even thoughtful touches like a coat hook and a bag locker. ![Shabu-shabu seat with a single-serving induction stove](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-solo-shabu-nahonsha-clear-broth/hapjeong-solo-shabu-nahonsha-clear-broth-03-mlby3-900.webp) Basically, every seat has its own single-serving induction stove, so you can cook at your own pace and to your own taste. It's a setup that makes solo dining completely stress-free! There were also window seats where you could eat while looking outside, but sadly, they always seem to be taken. :( ![Spacious, clean interior of Nahonsha](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-solo-shabu-nahonsha-clear-broth/hapjeong-solo-shabu-nahonsha-clear-broth-04-7so2t-900.webp) Overall the space felt spacious and clean, and since each seat uses its own personal pot, it seemed perfect not just for solo shabu-shabu but for solo dining near Hapjeong Station in general. ![Peanut sauce, chili sauce, and soy sauce set out on the table](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-solo-shabu-nahonsha-clear-broth/hapjeong-solo-shabu-nahonsha-clear-broth-05-1la9s-900.webp) Each table came with peanut sauce, chili sauce, and soy sauce, so you could dip according to your taste. ## Nahonsha's menu and its five broths Nahonsha's menu is broadly split into shabu-shabu and sukiyaki, and the shabu-shabu comes in a range of broths — clear, spicy, miso, mala, and tomato. ![Nahonsha's menu split into shabu-shabu and sukiyaki](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-solo-shabu-nahonsha-clear-broth/hapjeong-solo-shabu-nahonsha-clear-broth-06-ermmz-900.webp) ![Broth selection menu: clear, spicy, mala, and tomato](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-solo-shabu-nahonsha-clear-broth/hapjeong-solo-shabu-nahonsha-clear-broth-07-v3w16-900.webp) Honestly, I wanted to try the tomato broth, but since I was on my own and couldn't afford to make a bad call, I safely went with the clear broth. ![Menu listing meat and vegetable add-ons and self-serve porridge](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-solo-shabu-nahonsha-clear-broth/hapjeong-solo-shabu-nahonsha-clear-broth-08-1e4t7-900.webp) For extra toppings, you could add basic shabu-shabu ingredients like meat and vegetables. There was also self-serve porridge available for a carb finish at the end — porridge is a must with shabu-shabu, so I ordered it right away. ## What's in the clear broth shabu-shabu for one, with self-serve porridge Here's the clear broth shabu-shabu for one that I ordered! It came generously loaded with a variety of basic ingredients — napa cabbage, mushrooms, tofu, sweet pumpkin, dumplings — and finished off with kalguksu noodles perfect for the last stretch. The meat kept its bright red color with no browning, so overall the ingredients looked clean and fresh. ![Full spread of the clear broth shabu-shabu for one](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-solo-shabu-nahonsha-clear-broth/hapjeong-solo-shabu-nahonsha-clear-broth-09-1bgpd-900.webp) ![Plate of shabu-shabu vegetables with cabbage, mushrooms, tofu, pumpkin, and dumplings](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-solo-shabu-nahonsha-clear-broth/hapjeong-solo-shabu-nahonsha-clear-broth-10-3frf3-900.webp) ![Clear broth and vegetables simmering in a personal pot](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-solo-shabu-nahonsha-clear-broth/hapjeong-solo-shabu-nahonsha-clear-broth-11-dx1tg-900.webp) Once the vegetables cooked down a bit, I added the meat in earnest. ![Thin, bright red shabu-shabu meat slices](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-solo-shabu-nahonsha-clear-broth/hapjeong-solo-shabu-nahonsha-clear-broth-12-1a2z8-900.webp) ![Cooking the meat in the clear broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-solo-shabu-nahonsha-clear-broth/hapjeong-solo-shabu-nahonsha-clear-broth-13-1fvhh-900.webp) The meat kept its bright red color with no browning, so overall everything looked clean and fresh. The thinly sliced meat cooked quickly with just a few swirls in the broth, and I'd grab a bite with the cabbage, bean sprouts, and mushrooms all together. The broth started out clean but got richer and richer as I kept adding vegetables and meat — shabu-shabu really does get better toward the end, haha. ![Finishing with kalguksu noodles in the leftover broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-solo-shabu-nahonsha-clear-broth/hapjeong-solo-shabu-nahonsha-clear-broth-14-fnv6z-900.webp) And for the finish, I fished out most of the vegetables and wrapped it up with the kalguksu noodles. ## How was the self-serve porridge add-on at Nahonsha? Nahonsha's self-serve porridge is cooked right in the leftover broth yourself. The fried rice version uses frozen vegetables, but honestly, once you cook it all together it doesn't matter much. If anything, cooking the porridge for a while actually kept the vegetables' crunchy texture alive, which I liked. ![Pot of self-serve porridge ingredients being cooked](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-solo-shabu-nahonsha-clear-broth/hapjeong-solo-shabu-nahonsha-clear-broth-15-ygdmo-900.webp) ![Finished egg porridge served with side kimchi](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-solo-shabu-nahonsha-clear-broth/hapjeong-solo-shabu-nahonsha-clear-broth-16-1sv4o-900.webp) It had a soft, egg-porridge feel with crunchy bits of vegetable throughout. They even gave me kimchi on the side, which is an unbeatable combo — the self-serve porridge was the perfect finish to the meal. ## Why Nahonsha works for eating shabu-shabu alone There aren't actually that many options when you want to eat shabu-shabu by yourself, but Nahonsha is built entirely around solo shabu-shabu, so it was comfortable to eat there. The basic spread of vegetables, meat, and noodles was substantial, and I liked how the broth, clean at first, deepened in flavor as I kept adding meat and vegetables. ![A full solo meal of clear broth shabu-shabu in a personal pot](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-solo-shabu-nahonsha-clear-broth/hapjeong-solo-shabu-nahonsha-clear-broth-17-ud4nr-1200.webp) Add the self-serve porridge at the end and you've got a full, satisfying meal, haha. The place was clean, and since everyone uses their own personal pot, it never felt awkward to be there alone. Next time, I'm definitely trying the tomato broth I was curious about! ## Where it is - Nahonsha (나혼샤) - 42 Dokmak-ro, 1st floor, Mapo-gu, Seoul, South Korea - 서울특별시 마포구 독막로 42 1층 - 37.5478836, 126.917775 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EB%82%98%ED%98%BC%EC%83%A4/@37.5478836,126.917775,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@everyday-shelf-2/hapjeong-solo-shabu-nahonsha-clear-broth/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
