The salad zone is perfect for an appetizer — fruit salad, Cajun chicken salad, green salad, and more. The Japanese zone has various sushi and rolls. There's gimbap (seaweed rice roll) and rolled sushi, and it was nicely arranged. ![Japanese zone with gimbap and rolled sushi](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeosu-hakdong-shabu-buffet-kids-weekend/yeosu-hakdong-shabu-buffet-kids-weekend-09-e8s44-900.webp) ![Cooked dishes displayed at the Tongkeun Shabu salad bar](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeosu-hakdong-shabu-buffet-kids-weekend/yeosu-hakdong-shabu-buffet-kids-weekend-10-5j9jw-900.webp) ![Fried and stir-fried dishes on the salad bar](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeosu-hakdong-shabu-buffet-kids-weekend/yeosu-hakdong-shabu-buffet-kids-weekend-11-h8h79-900.webp) The fried/grilled/stir-fry zone was loaded — various pastas, yaki udon, bulgogi, smoked duck, spicy stir-fried chicken feet, steak, pizza, fried rice, chicken, and freshly fried crispy fritters!

Maybe because it's handmade, the broth at Tongkeun Shabu had a rich, refreshing, deep flavor that stood out. As you cook the beef in it, the juices come out, adding a nutty flavor — it was so delicious~😍 ![Beef brisket cooking in the broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeosu-hakdong-shabu-buffet-kids-weekend/yeosu-hakdong-shabu-buffet-kids-weekend-15-1hml8-900.webp) ![Bowl of meat and vegetables scooped from the shabu-shabu pot](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeosu-hakdong-shabu-buffet-kids-weekend/yeosu-hakdong-shabu-buffet-kids-weekend-16-tev9m-900.webp) ![Split pot with basic and mala broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeosu-hakdong-shabu-buffet-kids-weekend/yeosu-hakdong-shabu-buffet-kids-weekend-17-1blmx-900.webp) On top of that, the meat was so tender, and the more you chewed, the more the juices burst out! No gamey smell at all, so tasty 🩷 The broth was hot and rich and refreshing, really hit the spot, and paired with the various buffet dishes it also worked great as a drinking snack. ![Shabu-shabu meat dipped in sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeosu-hakdong-shabu-buffet-kids-weekend/yeosu-hakdong-shabu-buffet-kids-weekend-18-frcad-900.webp) ![A full spread of shabu-shabu at Tongkeun Shabu](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeosu-hakdong-shabu-buffet-kids-weekend/yeosu-hakdong-shabu-buffet-kids-weekend-19-ajfmf-900.webp) ![Meat and vegetables cooked in mala broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeosu-hakdong-shabu-buffet-kids-weekend/yeosu-hakdong-shabu-buffet-kids-weekend-20-1c1kl-900.webp) ### The hanwoo beef from the review event If you take part in Tongkeun Shabu's review event, they give you an extra serving of hanwoo (Korean beef)! It looked great, was so tender, and the juices were amazing~ ![A plate of hanwoo beef from the review event](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeosu-hakdong-shabu-buffet-kids-weekend/yeosu-hakdong-shabu-buffet-kids-weekend-21-18g6f-900.webp) I also tried some of the buffet dishes, and since they're all made in-house, each one had a rich flavor, and it was nice that they came out in small portions frequently. It felt clean and tidy overall. ## Is Tongkeun Shabu easy with two young kids? We were with two kids, aged 3 and 5, and since Tongkeun Shabu has such a varied menu, they were able to pick and choose according to their own tastes and eat well all around 👧🏻 They ate neatly and even made their own dessert porridge! ![Dessert porridge made from the leftover broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeosu-hakdong-shabu-buffet-kids-weekend/yeosu-hakdong-shabu-buffet-kids-weekend-22-pmr3g-900.webp) ![A buffet plate eaten by one of the kids](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeosu-hakdong-shabu-buffet-kids-weekend/yeosu-hakdong-shabu-buffet-kids-weekend-23-1u4ey-900.webp) ![Ice cream dessert from the dessert zone](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeosu-hakdong-shabu-buffet-kids-weekend/yeosu-hakdong-shabu-buffet-kids-weekend-24-1alfv-900.webp) With their favorite ice cream for dessert on top of everything, both the parents and the kids left satisfied.
