# Busan shabu kalguksu: adding meat all at once overcooks it, Yunujae - By Sejin (https://superchart.com/en/@gimhae-lunch-ledger/) - Written Sep 6, 2026 - Local places › Restaurants › Nam-gu, Busan - Sponsored: This post was written as part of a paid restaurant visit sponsorship. - English edition: https://superchart.com/en/@gimhae-lunch-ledger/munhyeon-shabu-kalguksu-yunwoojae-noodles/ - Also in: [한국어](https://superchart.com/ko/@gimhae-lunch-ledger/munhyeon-shabu-kalguksu-yunwoojae-noodles/index.md) ## In short Yunujae Munhyeon Shabu Kalguksu is a shabu kalguksu (hot pot with knife-cut noodles) restaurant on the main road in Munhyeon-dong, Nam-gu, Busan. The white-broth shabu kalguksu is 11,000 won per person for two, plus 140g of sirloin for 8,000 won, and following the staff instruction to drop in all the meat and boil it for 5 minutes overcooked it, so adding only as much as you can eat at a time worked better. Between the house-made kalguksu noodles and the fried rice at the end, Yunujae still felt like good value in the 10,000-won range. ## Good to know - **Location**: 158-161, Daerim Munhyeon City Plaza, 26 Suyeong-ro, Nam-gu, Busan — about a 4-minute walk from Jigegol Station Exit 3 - **Hours**: 11:00–20:50, last order 20:00 - **Break time**: Weekdays 15:00–16:30 - **Parking**: Basement level 1 of the building, 2 hours covered - **Shabu kalguksu (white broth)**: 11,000 won / includes 70g sirloin, vegetables and mushrooms, house-made kalguksu noodles, fried rice - **Sirloin add-on**: 140g for 8,000 won - **Self-serve corner**: Extra broth, house-made kimchi *as written by the visitor on Sep 6, 2026* ![Signature photo of shabu kalguksu at Yunujae Munhyeon Shabu Kalguksu](https://img.superchart.com/images/munhyeon-shabu-kalguksu-yunwoojae-noodles/munhyeon-shabu-kalguksu-yunwoojae-noodles-01-jx2ay-1200.webp) Today I wanted a warm, filling meal in Munhyeon-dong, Busan, so I visited Yunujae Munhyeon Shabu Kalguksu and figured I'd write up the review haha :ㅇ > 📍 158-161, Daerim Munhyeon City Plaza, 26 Suyeong-ro, Nam-gu, Busan, South Korea > ⏰ 11:00 - 20:50 (weekday break time 15:00 - 16:30, last order 20:00) > 🚗 2 hours of parking support ## Quick summary of Yunujae Munhyeon Shabu Kalguksu - A solid set for 11,000 won with shabu kalguksu - Sirloin add-on 140g for 8,000 won - House-made kalguksu noodles - Fried rice cooked in the broth after the shabu - 2 hours of parking support in the building ![Exterior of Yunujae Munhyeon Shabu Kalguksu on the ground floor along the main road in Munhyeon-dong](https://img.superchart.com/images/munhyeon-shabu-kalguksu-yunwoojae-noodles/munhyeon-shabu-kalguksu-yunwoojae-noodles-02-12qv8-900.webp) ## Where Yunujae Munhyeon Shabu Kalguksu is, and where to park This Munhyeon-dong restaurant is about a 4-minute walk from Jigegol Station Exit 3, on the ground floor along the main road toward the Munhyeon-dong intersection, so it wasn't hard to find at all! For parking, using the building's basement level 1 lot gets you 2 hours of parking support haha. ![Entrance of the restaurant on the first floor of Daerim Munhyeon City Plaza](https://img.superchart.com/images/munhyeon-shabu-kalguksu-yunwoojae-noodles/munhyeon-shabu-kalguksu-yunwoojae-noodles-03-1z052-900.webp) ![View around the entrance of Yunujae Munhyeon Shabu Kalguksu](https://img.superchart.com/images/munhyeon-shabu-kalguksu-yunwoojae-noodles/munhyeon-shabu-kalguksu-yunwoojae-noodles-04-n5bhz-900.webp) ## The noodle-making room by the entrance and the dining room As soon as you walk in, there's a noodle-making room set up right by the entrance! Since you can actually see the space where they make the noodles by hand, it got me excited about how good the kalguksu (knife-cut noodle soup) was going to be haha. ![House-made noodle-making room set up near the entrance](https://img.superchart.com/images/munhyeon-shabu-kalguksu-yunwoojae-noodles/munhyeon-shabu-kalguksu-yunwoojae-noodles-05-19w3d-900.webp) ![Space where the noodles are made by hand](https://img.superchart.com/images/munhyeon-shabu-kalguksu-yunwoojae-noodles/munhyeon-shabu-kalguksu-yunwoojae-noodles-06-1aeop-900.webp) ![Interior with white tones and wood accents](https://img.superchart.com/images/munhyeon-shabu-kalguksu-yunwoojae-noodles/munhyeon-shabu-kalguksu-yunwoojae-noodles-07-5f4y1-900.webp) The overall interior was clean and tidy! It's mainly white-toned with wood accents added, ![Table layout with generous spacing in the restaurant](https://img.superchart.com/images/munhyeon-shabu-kalguksu-yunwoojae-noodles/munhyeon-shabu-kalguksu-yunwoojae-noodles-08-15eno-900.webp) so it wasn't too stiff, and the tables had fairly generous spacing, which made it look comfortable for family meals too haha. ![Seating that looks comfortable for family meals](https://img.superchart.com/images/munhyeon-shabu-kalguksu-yunwoojae-noodles/munhyeon-shabu-kalguksu-yunwoojae-noodles-09-j6ppc-900.webp) ![Overall view of the dining hall](https://img.superchart.com/images/munhyeon-shabu-kalguksu-yunwoojae-noodles/munhyeon-shabu-kalguksu-yunwoojae-noodles-10-10boo-900.webp) ## Self-serve broth and kimchi corner, and how to order There's a self-serve corner off to one side! It has extra broth and kimchi ready for when you're eating shabu-shabu, so you can just grab more whenever you run low — really convenient! They said the kimchi is made fresh every day with domestic napa cabbage! ![Self-serve corner with extra broth and kimchi](https://img.superchart.com/images/munhyeon-shabu-kalguksu-yunwoojae-noodles/munhyeon-shabu-kalguksu-yunwoojae-noodles-11-10bhw-900.webp) ![House-made kimchi at the self-serve corner](https://img.superchart.com/images/munhyeon-shabu-kalguksu-yunwoojae-noodles/munhyeon-shabu-kalguksu-yunwoojae-noodles-12-lwt6z-900.webp) ![Self-serve extra broth station](https://img.superchart.com/images/munhyeon-shabu-kalguksu-yunwoojae-noodles/munhyeon-shabu-kalguksu-yunwoojae-noodles-13-1d2zm-900.webp) You order using the tablet at the table, and there's a guide off to the side on how to eat it for the best results — handy to check! ![Table tablet ordering and instructions on how to eat it best](https://img.superchart.com/images/munhyeon-shabu-kalguksu-yunwoojae-noodles/munhyeon-shabu-kalguksu-yunwoojae-noodles-14-w2ump-900.webp) There's also a dipping sauce for the shabu meat at every table! ![Dipping sauce for shabu meat prepared at the table](https://img.superchart.com/images/munhyeon-shabu-kalguksu-yunwoojae-noodles/munhyeon-shabu-kalguksu-yunwoojae-noodles-15-1j8pz-900.webp) ![Basic table setting for the white-broth shabu kalguksu set for two](https://img.superchart.com/images/munhyeon-shabu-kalguksu-yunwoojae-noodles/munhyeon-shabu-kalguksu-yunwoojae-noodles-16-156kj-900.webp) ## What comes with the 11,000-won white-broth shabu kalguksu for two Shabu kalguksu - white broth, 11,000 won × 2 people - 70g sirloin - Vegetables & mushrooms - House-made kalguksu noodles - Fried rice - Sirloin add-on 140g for 8,000 won ![Shabu ingredients prepared with vegetables, mushrooms, and sirloin](https://img.superchart.com/images/munhyeon-shabu-kalguksu-yunwoojae-noodles/munhyeon-shabu-kalguksu-yunwoojae-noodles-17-1tu8p-900.webp) ### Boiling the sirloin for 5 minutes: add it in batches instead The instructions said to add all the meat before the broth boils and cook it for 5 minutes! ![Shabu pot with all the meat added at once and boiling](https://img.superchart.com/images/munhyeon-shabu-kalguksu-yunwoojae-noodles/munhyeon-shabu-kalguksu-yunwoojae-noodles-18-mo4if-900.webp) But once I put all the meat in and boiled it, the meat ended up way overcooked, so I think it would've been better to add just as much as we could eat, then add more, and repeat that way... haha. ![140g of added sirloin](https://img.superchart.com/images/munhyeon-shabu-kalguksu-yunwoojae-noodles/munhyeon-shabu-kalguksu-yunwoojae-noodles-19-1avy5-900.webp) ![Plenty of meat after adding the extra sirloin](https://img.superchart.com/images/munhyeon-shabu-kalguksu-yunwoojae-noodles/munhyeon-shabu-kalguksu-yunwoojae-noodles-20-100z0-900.webp) With the extra sirloin we ordered added in, the amount of meat was plenty! ![House-made kalguksu noodles boiled in the broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/munhyeon-shabu-kalguksu-yunwoojae-noodles/munhyeon-shabu-kalguksu-yunwoojae-noodles-21-1q5u4-900.webp) ![Thick strands of the house-made kalguksu noodles](https://img.superchart.com/images/munhyeon-shabu-kalguksu-yunwoojae-noodles/munhyeon-shabu-kalguksu-yunwoojae-noodles-22-156ez-900.webp) ## How were the house-made kalguksu noodles? Personally, what stood out to me here was the house-made kalguksu noodles! Compared to typical kalguksu noodles, they're a bit thicker, and instead of getting mushy the longer they boil, they somehow got chewier — haha. I should've ordered extra noodles instead of extra meat! And the finishing touch to shabu kalguksu is the fried rice! ![Fried rice made in the leftover broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/munhyeon-shabu-kalguksu-yunwoojae-noodles/munhyeon-shabu-kalguksu-yunwoojae-noodles-23-1x0f0-900.webp) ![Closing fried rice eaten together with kimchi](https://img.superchart.com/images/munhyeon-shabu-kalguksu-yunwoojae-noodles/munhyeon-shabu-kalguksu-yunwoojae-noodles-24-1ckiw-900.webp) ## The fried rice finish: does it taste like gamjatang fried rice? Since it's cooked in the broth left over from the shabu-shabu, the savory depth of the broth naturally soaks into the rice, and eating it with the house-made kimchi made it even better. It kind of tastes like gamjatang (pork bone soup) fried rice lol. ## Is Yunujae worth it for lunch in Munhyeon-dong, Busan? Overall, with shabu-shabu, house-made kalguksu noodles, and fried rice all for 11,000 won per person, the value is great, and with the clean interior plus 2 hours of parking support, I'd recommend this as a Munhyeon-dong restaurant and a Munhyeon-dong lunch spot haha. ## Where it is - Yunujae Munhyeon Shabu Kalguksu (윤우재 문현샤브 칼국수) - 158-161, Daerim Munhyeon City Plaza, 26 Suyeong-ro, Nam-gu, Busan, South Korea - 부산광역시 남구 수영로 26 대림문현시티프라자 158호-161호 - 35.1365531, 129.0703709 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%9C%A4%EC%9A%B0%EC%9E%AC%20%EB%AC%B8%ED%98%84%EC%83%A4%EB%B8%8C%20%EC%B9%BC%EA%B5%AD%EC%88%98/@35.1365531,129.0703709,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@gimhae-lunch-ledger/munhyeon-shabu-kalguksu-yunwoojae-noodles/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
