The writer arrived right at opening but every table was already taken, then ordered the chadol minari-ssam shabu kalguksu in the spicy version with extra sirloin and mandu, dipping the beef in sesame oil. The house-made kalguksu noodles stretched like cheese and a free perilla-oil kkakdugi fried rice closed the meal, which left the whole family satisfied. ## Good to know - **Hours**: Daily 10:30–21:00 - **Break time**: 16:00–17:00 - **Last order**: 15:00 and 20:00 - **Parking**: Jangwongap Kalguksu's own lot in front of the restaurant - **What we ordered**: Chadol minari-ssam shabu kalguksu (spicy), extra sirloin, mandu (dumplings) - **Self-serve bar**: Wasabi, minced chili, geotjeori (fresh kimchi), extra broth - **On the house**: Perilla-oil kkakdugi fried rice; misugaru (grain drink), puffed rice cakes and old-style cookies for dessert *as written by the visitor on Sep 14, 2026* Today's post is a recommendation for Jangwongap Kalguksu, which I found while looking for somewhere to eat near Lotte Outlet Yongin Giheung Branch :3 🩵 ## Jangwongap Kalguksu Yongin Giheung Branch: hours and parking Jangwongap Kalguksu Yongin Giheung Branch is open daily from 10:30 to 21:00, with a break time from 16:00 to 17:00. Last order is at 15:00 and 20:00, and you can park at the dedicated Jangwongap Kalguksu lot in front of the restaurant. ![Exterior of Jangwongap Kalguksu Yongin Giheung Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/jangwongap-kalguksu-open-run-sirloin-shabu/jangwongap-kalguksu-open-run-sirloin-shabu-01-sbai1-900.webp) ![Building and signage of Jangwongap Kalguksu Yongin Giheung Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/jangwongap-kalguksu-open-run-sirloin-shabu/jangwongap-kalguksu-open-run-sirloin-shabu-02-um6o1-900.webp) Jangwongap Kalguksu is a pretty large place, so the parking area in front was really spacious and nice! ![Dedicated Jangwongap Kalguksu parking lot in front of the restaurant](https://img.superchart.com/images/jangwongap-kalguksu-open-run-sirloin-shabu/jangwongap-kalguksu-open-run-sirloin-shabu-03-10idf-m-900.webp) ## Full at 10:30 opening — why Jangwongap Kalguksu means waiting in line We arrived right at opening time and it was already full..! Turns out Jangwongap Kalguksu is famous as a waiting-line spot! ![The restaurant's interior, full even from opening time](https://img.superchart.com/images/jangwongap-kalguksu-open-run-sirloin-shabu/jangwongap-kalguksu-open-run-sirloin-shabu-04-1pvgp-900.webp) ![Dining hall seating packed with customers](https://img.superchart.com/images/jangwongap-kalguksu-open-run-sirloin-shabu/jangwongap-kalguksu-open-run-sirloin-shabu-05-1bvtt-900.webp) ## What we ordered: spicy chadol minari-ssam shabu kalguksu with extra sirloin Jangwongap Kalguksu is a bit different from a typical kalguksu place, since you can enjoy shabu-shabu and kalguksu (knife-cut noodle soup) together! We ordered the chadol minari-ssam shabu kalguksu (spicy) and extra sirloin. ![Menu for chadol minari-ssam shabu kalguksu](https://img.superchart.com/images/jangwongap-kalguksu-open-run-sirloin-shabu/jangwongap-kalguksu-open-run-sirloin-shabu-06-j89oc-868.webp) ![Sign on the wall reading 'Jangwongap's Stubbornness'](https://img.superchart.com/images/jangwongap-kalguksu-open-run-sirloin-shabu/jangwongap-kalguksu-open-run-sirloin-shabu-07-afaeu-900.webp) On the wall was a sign called "Jangwongap's Stubbornness," which caught my eye — it explained that the kalguksu dough is kneaded a thousand times with clean water, nuruk salt, and top-grade flour, that the kimchi uses domestic Uiseong garlic, dried pollack, and Namhae anchovies, and that they use 100% top-grade sesame oil and 100% perilla oil for the final fried rice. It really felt like a place that puts care into every single dish. ![Signboard listing ingredient origins](https://img.superchart.com/images/jangwongap-kalguksu-open-run-sirloin-shabu/jangwongap-kalguksu-open-run-sirloin-shabu-08-1wv34-900.webp) ## What's at the self-serve bar? Jangwongap Kalguksu's self-serve bar has wasabi, minced chili, geotjeori kimchi (freshly seasoned cabbage kimchi), and extra broth. Apparently adding the minced chili from the self-serve bar makes the soy dipping sauce for the shabu-shabu even tastier! ![Making shabu-shabu soy dipping sauce with minced chili](https://img.superchart.com/images/jangwongap-kalguksu-open-run-sirloin-shabu/jangwongap-kalguksu-open-run-sirloin-shabu-09-6bxxj-868.webp) The self-serve bar stayed clean even with so many customers ![Self-serve bar with wasabi and geotjeori kimchi](https://img.superchart.com/images/jangwongap-kalguksu-open-run-sirloin-shabu/jangwongap-kalguksu-open-run-sirloin-shabu-10-r7st7-900.webp) With wasabi, minced chili, geotjeori kimchi, and extra broth all available, it was convenient to top up anything we needed from the self-serve bar Making a dipping sauce with minced chili + wasabi + katsuobushi soy sauce! ![Katsuobushi soy sauce and sesame oil sauce set up on the table](https://img.superchart.com/images/jangwongap-kalguksu-open-run-sirloin-shabu/jangwongap-kalguksu-open-run-sirloin-shabu-11-17d8k-1200.webp) The chadol minari-ssam and shabu-shabu meat arrived ![A full spread of chadol minari-ssam and shabu-shabu meat](https://img.superchart.com/images/jangwongap-kalguksu-open-run-sirloin-shabu/jangwongap-kalguksu-open-run-sirloin-shabu-12-bilrv-900.webp) The Uiseong garlic kimchi and kalguksu noodles came out right away too! What was unusual here was that you can savor the kalguksu almost like an omakase, according to how long it's been cooked. The noodle quality was selected at a 20:1 ratio in a 2025 government-supported program run by the Korea Institute of Startup and Entrepreneurship Development and Hanbat University — now I really wanted to try it! ![Uiseong garlic kimchi and house-made kalguksu noodles](https://img.superchart.com/images/jangwongap-kalguksu-open-run-sirloin-shabu/jangwongap-kalguksu-open-run-sirloin-shabu-13-1hbuq-871.webp) The minari (water dropwort) and mushrooms came out so generously, I loved it! ![A generous serving of minari and mushrooms](https://img.superchart.com/images/jangwongap-kalguksu-open-run-sirloin-shabu/jangwongap-kalguksu-open-run-sirloin-shabu-14-f9d1k-900.webp) I was curious about the mandu too so I ordered some :3 ![A plate of the mandu we ordered as an extra](https://img.superchart.com/images/jangwongap-kalguksu-open-run-sirloin-shabu/jangwongap-kalguksu-open-run-sirloin-shabu-15-1x9ab-862.webp) Doesn't the shabu-shabu meat just look high quality at a glance? Adding the meat right as the spicy broth starts boiling ## Jangwongap Kalguksu's signature sesame-oil dipping Jangwongap Kalguksu has a distinctive way of eating — dipping the meat and fresh minari into sesame oil pressed directly at a mill. At first it felt a little unusual to dip shabu-shabu in sesame oil, but once I tried it, the nutty sesame aroma really came through and it was delicious! Truly a one-of-a-kind flavor. ![Shabu-shabu meat dipped in sesame oil sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/jangwongap-kalguksu-open-run-sirloin-shabu/jangwongap-kalguksu-open-run-sirloin-shabu-16-dtjbb-900.webp) The katsuobushi soy sauce was tasty too, of course, but dipping in the sesame oil sauce was more of a shock to me in the best way!! ![Meat and vegetables cooking in spicy broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/jangwongap-kalguksu-open-run-sirloin-shabu/jangwongap-kalguksu-open-run-sirloin-shabu-17-137nv-884.webp) ## Five minutes on the sand timer: house-made noodles that stretch like cheese We quickly polished off the meat and vegetables, then came the part I was most looking forward to — the kalguksu! We used the sand timer on the table to measure 5 minutes, planning to savor the noodles at different stages. At a glance, the kalguksu clearly wasn't just soft, overcooked noodles — it had a chewy, springy texture that felt alive. Maybe because they're house-made, when I lifted the noodles up they stretched like cheese! I heard these kalguksu noodles taste great dipped in sesame oil too, so I gave it a try — going from meat ➡️ minari + mushrooms ➡️ kalguksu, all dipped in sesame oil, was truly a special treat!!! ![House-made kalguksu noodles stretching as they're lifted](https://img.superchart.com/images/jangwongap-kalguksu-open-run-sirloin-shabu/jangwongap-kalguksu-open-run-sirloin-shabu-18-1mrfm-676.webp) Why is the Uiseong garlic kimchi so good, ugh — I lost count of how many times my mom refilled it.. ![Refilled Uiseong garlic kimchi](https://img.superchart.com/images/jangwongap-kalguksu-open-run-sirloin-shabu/jangwongap-kalguksu-open-run-sirloin-shabu-19-1cwhd-900.webp) The mandu wasn't the usual dumpling taste we're used to — it was really springy and delicious. Highly recommend this too ![Cross-section of the springy mandu filling](https://img.superchart.com/images/jangwongap-kalguksu-open-run-sirloin-shabu/jangwongap-kalguksu-open-run-sirloin-shabu-20-nuywh-887.webp) ![Spicy broth left over after finishing the kalguksu](https://img.superchart.com/images/jangwongap-kalguksu-open-run-sirloin-shabu/jangwongap-kalguksu-open-run-sirloin-shabu-21-10phe-900.webp) ## The finish: free perilla-oil kkakdugi fried rice And what I loved right to the very end was the perilla-oil kkakdugi (radish kimchi) fried rice. As shown in the photo, after finishing the kalguksu, they mix rice, kkakdugi, and gim (seaweed) flakes into the leftover broth. The nutty aroma of the perilla oil combined with the savory kkakdugi made this a special treat too — and best of all, this fried rice was provided completely free of charge. So satisfying ㅠㅠ 🤍 ![Perilla-oil kkakdugi fried rice made in the leftover broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/jangwongap-kalguksu-open-run-sirloin-shabu/jangwongap-kalguksu-open-run-sirloin-shabu-22-1ynda-900.webp) ![Fried rice finished with gim flakes on top](https://img.superchart.com/images/jangwongap-kalguksu-open-run-sirloin-shabu/jangwongap-kalguksu-open-run-sirloin-shabu-23-zt5w6-900.webp) Did you think that was it?! Jangwongap Kalguksu takes care of everything — there's dessert misugaru (roasted grain drink), ppeongtwigi (puffed rice snack), and old-fashioned candies too! ![Dessert misugaru, ppeongtwigi, and old-style snacks](https://img.superchart.com/images/jangwongap-kalguksu-open-run-sirloin-shabu/jangwongap-kalguksu-open-run-sirloin-shabu-24-17pg0-900.webp) It had really been a while since we found such a delicious, great-value restaurant, and our family had such a happy meal together ## Is Jangwongap Kalguksu in Giheung worth the wait? - ✔️ A filling lineup covering shabu-shabu, kalguksu, and fried rice all in one meal - ✔️ You can feel the care and quality ingredients put into every single dish - ✔️ House-made noodles that stretch chewy like cheese - ✔️ A great combination of generous minari and mushrooms with light, clean shabu-shabu meat - ✔️ Delicious kimchi made with domestic Uiseong garlic - ✔️ The nutty free perilla-oil kkakdugi fried rice at the end is delicious - ✔️ Dessert misugaru and snacks make you feel taken care of right to the end If you want a filling meal of shabu-shabu, kalguksu, and fried rice all in one, I strongly recommend Jangwongap Kalguksu!
