In short
Tongkeun Shabu is an all-you-can-eat shabu-shabu and salad bar restaurant on the 3rd floor of a building at 25 Mangma-ro in Yeosu. Visiting with a 28-month-old, the writer took a sofa seat, ordered the basic broth that costs nothing extra with beef belly and pork neck, and finished with self-made naengmyeon (cold noodles), ice cream and chocolate fondue; weekday lunch runs 23,900 won for adults. With baby chairs and plenty of parking, Tongkeun Shabu worked well as a family meal out in Yeosu.

Looking for somewhere to eat out with my kid in Yeosu, I ended up visiting Tongkeun Shabu this time!
Shabu-shabu is one of our go-to meals when eating out with a kid, since you can have everything from meat to vegetables all at once. This time I went with Jjin and I'll give you the honest rundown — from the food spread to the atmosphere to how kid-friendly it actually was ☺️

Where do you park at Tongkeun Shabu?
Parking at Tongkeun Shabu turned out to be more generous than I expected. You can park right beside the building (next to Subway), and there's also an underground lot marked 'Hana Bank parking' if you go around back. If even that fills up, there's a separate Tongkeun Shabu customer-only lot just a bit further, on the right across from that lot!
Sofa seats that suit a 28-month-old
The interior of Tongkeun Shabu was clean and spacious overall 😊 There was good spacing between tables and plenty of seats, so it seemed like a solid spot for family dinners or gatherings. There were also separate sofa seats, which made things much more comfortable with a kid in tow! We sat at a sofa seat with Jjin.

All except the basic broth come with an extra charge — chicken bone broth is +₩2,000, and sukiyaki and mala are each +₩4,000. You can even do half-and-half haha. Since we were eating with Jjin, we went with the basic broth, no extra charge ☺️
What is on the salad bar?
The meat corner at Tongkeun Shabu had two kinds — beef belly and pork neck — and it's all-you-can-eat, so you take as much as you like. They were sliced thin, which made them quick to cook in the broth!
Next up is the vegetable corner! There was a good variety of ingredients good for shabu-shabu — napa cabbage, bok choy, bean sprouts, enoki mushrooms — plus carrots, onions, and mushrooms that go well with rice paper wraps!
On one side there was also mushroom soup, along with several kinds of sauces to go with the shabu-shabu! From spicy to savory, you could scoop out small amounts to suit your taste, and there was a separate sauce made with minced chili and green onion too.
Which dishes worked best for a toddler
The salad bar at Tongkeun Shabu had quite a lot more than just shabu-shabu ingredients! There was jjolmyeon (chewy cold noodles), carbonara, duck meat, fried items, fried rice, and more — good picks for kids and adults alike, and perfect to nibble on while the shabu-shabu broth simmers!
There was also pizza, sushi, and rolls! And on one side, rice, egg, seaweed flakes, and sesame oil were set out for making porridge after finishing the shabu-shabu.
Making your own naengmyeon (cold noodles)
There was also a station to make your own naengmyeon (cold buckwheat noodles)! Along with the noodles there was cucumber, radish, seaweed flakes, seasoning sauce, and cold noodle broth, so you could put it together however you liked. We made a bowl after our shabu-shabu, and it was refreshing and tangy — really good 🫢
From shabu-shabu to salad to fruit, the salad bar spread was pretty solid!
The drink and dessert corner
Tongkeun Shabu also had a separate drinks corner! Besides soda, there were drinks like pomegranate and plum, and right next to it was ice cream, chocolate fondue, and even a coffee machine, so we could wrap up the meal with dessert all in one place 😊
Why Tongkeun Shabu is easy with a small child
From shabu-shabu to the many salad bar dishes, naengmyeon, and dessert, we got to enjoy it all in one place and left completely full 😊 With as much meat and veggies as you want and plenty of kid-friendly menu options, Yeosu's Tongkeun Shabu was a satisfying spot for a family meal out! If you're looking for a hearty shabu-shabu place to enjoy with your kid in Yeosu, give it a try 🤍
