Pyeonbaek Hoegwan Ilsan Hwajeong Branch, a restaurant near Hwajeong Station
I was looking for somewhere to eat a hearty meal near Hwajeong Station and decided to try something a bit different this time. I've always liked shabu-shabu, and hearing that I could enjoy pyeonbaek-jjim (cypress box steamed dish) alongside it led me to Pyeonbaek Hoegwan. It's a different setup from a place that only serves shabu-shabu, so I thought it would be a good spot for a group to visit and each enjoy it their own way.
Where is Pyeonbaek Hoegwan Hwajeong, and how do you get there?
Pyeonbaek Hoegwan Ilsan Hwajeong Branch was close by, about a 3-minute walk from Hwajeong Station Exit 1. It's located on the 3rd floor of the building on Hwajeong Station's Rodeo Street, and once you take the elevator up to the 3rd floor, you arrive right at the entrance.
Inside Pyeonbaek Hoegwan: seating and atmosphere
I visited Pyeonbaek Hoegwan Ilsan Hwajeong Branch during weekday lunch hours and got in right away with no wait. Stepping inside, the space felt spacious overall, with a variety of seating and a clean interior. There were group seats and baby chairs too, so it looked like a good option for a family meal.
What does the weekday lunch cost, and which broths can you pick?
Ordering was simple through the kiosk at the table. The weekday lunch set — all-you-can-eat pyeonbaek-jjim + shabu-shabu + salad bar — was 17,900 won, and I ordered the default half-and-half broth of katsuo broth and spicy mushroom broth. (Weekday lunch runs from 11:00 to 15:00.)
The usage instructions were explained in detail, so even though it was my first visit, I was able to get through it comfortably.
What's on the self-serve salad bar: shabu ingredients and sides
After ordering, the pyeonbaek-jjim was set up quickly. While waiting for it to steam, I checked out the all-you-can-eat salad bar first.
The self-serve bar had a wide range of shabu-shabu and fresh spring roll (wollam-ssam) ingredients ready, so it was oddly fun just thinking about what order to try things in. The vegetables, mushrooms, and other ingredients all looked freshly prepared.
Shabu beef and refill broth were easy to grab as needed, and there was also a range of side dishes like tteokbokki (spicy rice cakes), spaghetti, french fries, and soup.
How the pyeonbaek-jjim tastes and the three dipping sauces
While waiting for the pyeonbaek-jjim to finish steaming, I prepped the spring roll ingredients first and snacked on tteokbokki and spaghetti — the timing worked out perfectly.
When the timer went off and I opened the lid of the pyeonbaek-jjim, the gentle aroma rising up alone was enough to stir my appetite. Watching the steam curl up made me want to dig in right away.
The ingredients cooked by steaming were light and clean overall, great to enjoy. I prefer this kind of light dish over anything too intense in flavor, so I was quite satisfied.
There were also peanut sauce, chili sauce, and ponzu sauce on hand, so it was fun switching between them. After finishing the pyeonbaek-jjim, I debated getting another round, but decided to move on to shabu-shabu instead.
Shabu-shabu beef cuts and making wolnamssam rice-paper rolls
With ingredients brought from the self-serve bar, my table was full again. There were two types of shabu beef, woo-samgyeop and al-mokshim, and it was nice not having to worry about portion sizes.
Dropping ingredients into the hot broth one by one to cook made the whole eating process fun in itself. And being able to enjoy as much of whatever ingredient you wanted felt like the biggest perk of all-you-can-eat.
The half-and-half broth was also great for alternating between two flavors, and I could make spring rolls too, so it ended up being a really hearty meal.
Finishing with three-color dumplings and kalguksu noodles
To wrap things up, I added tricolor mandu (dumplings) and kalguksu noodles to the pot. Going through the course from pyeonbaek-jjim to shabu-shabu and finishing with noodles made for a pretty satisfying, well-rounded meal.
If you're looking for a good restaurant near Hwajeong Station, or a place where you can enjoy all-you-can-eat shabu-shabu together with something a bit different, I'd recommend Pyeonbaek Hoegwan. It's a solid choice whether you want to eat until you're full or you're looking for a menu that's easy to enjoy with family or friends.
