## In short

Pyeonbaek Hoegwan Siheung Janggok Branch is an all-you-can-eat cypress-steam and shabu-shabu restaurant on the 3rd floor of Janggok Edu Tower in Janggok-dong, Siheung, Gyeonggi. In a renewal on September 9, 2026, Pyeonbaek Hoegwan moved its food corner to the middle of the dining room, so the self-serve bar is an easy walk from any table, and one visit covered cypress-steamed meat, rice paper wraps, shabu-shabu, sides and ice cream. At a buffet where you walk back and forth all meal, that central layout is Pyeonbaek Hoegwan's biggest win.

I was looking for a place in Siheung where I could enjoy cypress steamed dishes (pyeonbaek-jjim) and shabu-shabu together, and that's how I ended up at Pyeonbaek Hoegwan Siheung Janggok Branch. This location had a renewal opening on September 9, which changed both the interior and the food flow. Before, using the self-serve bar meant walking a bit depending on where you sat, but now the food counter has moved to the center of the store, so it's easy to access no matter where you're seated.

From cypress steamed dishes to shabu-shabu, plus all the vegetables and meat you want — I'll introduce this spot for anyone looking for a good shabu-shabu restaurant in Siheung.

## What changed in Pyeonbaek Hoegwan's September 9 renewal?

As soon as you step inside, there's a banner introducing Pyeonbaek Hoegwan. It's a place where you can enjoy cypress steamed dishes and shabu-shabu together, and with the Siheung Janggok branch's fresh renewal, everything looked even cleaner. When I visited, there was also a renewal-opening event going on, so there was plenty to look at even before eating.

Walking into the store, the first thing you notice is the clean, spacious interior! What I liked most about this renewal was the position of the self-serve bar. With the food gathered in the center of the store, it was easy to grab ingredients no matter which table you sat at. At an all-you-can-eat restaurant in Siheung where you end up going back to the self-serve bar many times, this kind of layout quietly matters a lot.

## Meat and broth: take as much as you want

There's also meat prepared for the cypress steamed dishes and shabu-shabu. If you love meat, I'd recommend grabbing just enough to eat right away rather than piling on too much at once, and cooking it fresh each time. Next to it, shabu-shabu broth is also ready to go, so it was easy to refill whenever the broth ran low during the meal.

## What's on the shabu-shabu self-serve bar?

When I'm looking for a good shabu-shabu restaurant in Janggok-dong, one thing I pay attention to is how the self-serve bar is stocked. There were plenty of vegetables that go well with shabu-shabu — bean sprouts, bok choy, mushrooms — plus noodles and various other ingredients. On the other side, there was salad, shredded vegetables, onions, and other things that go well with the cypress steamed dishes, so it was easy to build a plate to your own taste.

Best of all, with the self-serve bar laid out in a long line down the center, it was easy to find what you wanted and the whole flow felt simpler.

The tableware was also neatly gathered in one spot, and there was an event for families visiting with kids. With the store being spacious and the self-serve bar separated from the table area, it seemed like a good spot for a family meal out.

## Rice paper wraps, sides and ice cream too

Not just having the main dishes but being able to pick and choose extras is one of the strengths of this all-you-can-eat spot in Siheung. There were various foods set up in the center, plus ice cream for after the meal. Going cypress steamed dishes → shabu-shabu → side dishes → dessert, you could put together a pretty satisfying meal, right?

![Various side dishes set up in the center of the store](https://img.superchart.com/images/pyeonbaek-hoegwan-sihheung-janggok-self-bar/pyeonbaek-hoegwan-sihheung-janggok-self-bar-12-70enl-900.webp)

Drinks were also available, so I could grab one easily throughout the meal.

There were plenty of tables too, so it looked like a good option for family meals as well as for visits with friends or groups looking for a good shabu-shabu restaurant in Janggok-dong.

![Cypress steamer pot placed on the table](https://img.superchart.com/images/pyeonbaek-hoegwan-sihheung-janggok-self-bar/pyeonbaek-hoegwan-sihheung-janggok-self-bar-15-vvtnq-m-900.webp)

Finally, the real meal began! The cypress steamer pot lands on the table like this, and just looking at it made me feel like I was in for a proper spread. Once I added the vegetables and side dishes from the self-serve bar, the table filled up quickly.

## Cypress-steamed meat, served hot and fragrant

Lifting the lid reveals bean sprouts, napa cabbage, bok choy, mushrooms, and meat, all packed into the cypress steamer. Eating the moisture-soaked vegetables together with the meat was a great combination, and it was easy to grab more vegetables as needed. I liked that this isn't a one-dish-only meal — you can enjoy the cypress steamed dish first, then move on to shabu-shabu.

I tried wrapping bean sprouts, meat, and shredded cucumber in rice paper. You can eat the cypress steamed dish as is, but wrapping your own ingredients like a Vietnamese-style spring roll added some fun to the eating.

Dip the finished wrap in sauce to taste. Simple wraps with just meat and bean sprouts were good, and packing in shrimp and various vegetables for a fuller bite was also delicious. The flavor changes depending on the sauce, so the same ingredients could be enjoyed in different ways.

## Round two at Pyeonbaek Hoegwan: shabu-shabu

Once you've had your fill of the cypress steamed dish, it's shabu-shabu time! Bring the broth to a boil, then add meat, mushrooms, bok choy, bean sprouts, and other ingredients from the self-serve bar however you like. You can keep adding meat little by little, so it's easy to eat it warm right as it cooks.

The real charm of Pyeonbaek Hoegwan is that the meal doesn't end with the cypress steamed dish — you can move right on to all-you-can-eat shabu-shabu. So if you're looking for a good shabu-shabu restaurant in Siheung where you can enjoy several dishes generously, it's worth a visit.

By the time I stopped to look, the table ended up like this from all the eating haha. Starting with the cypress steamed dish, wrapping it like a spring roll, and then moving on to hot shabu-shabu — it felt like I'd properly enjoyed a full meal. I was especially happy with the variety of vegetables, letting me pick my own ratio of meat to veggies.

![Cypress wood cube received to mark the renewal opening](https://img.superchart.com/images/pyeonbaek-hoegwan-sihheung-janggok-self-bar/pyeonbaek-hoegwan-sihheung-janggok-self-bar-24-1jcoz-900.webp)

## The cypress wood cube given out for the reopening

And I got an unexpected small gift during my visit — a cypress wood cube to mark the renewal opening of Pyeonbaek Hoegwan Siheung Janggok Branch! At the time of my visit, it was being given out to the first 500 customers, so I made sure to grab one. Since it's a limited-quantity event, it may have ended by the time you visit, so keep that in mind.

The fragrant cypress cube is nice to bring home and use, and being a renewal-opening keepsake made it extra memorable.

## Is this Siheung all-you-can-eat restaurant worth a visit?

After visiting the newly renewed Pyeonbaek Hoegwan Siheung Janggok Branch myself, the biggest change I noticed was the food counter moving to the center. At an all-you-can-eat restaurant where you're constantly going back to the self-serve bar, being able to reach it easily from any seat turned out to be a bigger advantage than I expected.

Starting with the cypress steamed dish, wrapping your own ingredients in rice paper, then moving on to hot shabu-shabu, sides, and ice cream — all in one place, with plenty of menu choices. If you're looking for a family dining spot in Siheung, an all-you-can-eat restaurant in Siheung, or a good shabu-shabu restaurant in Janggok-dong, check out the renewed Pyeonbaek Hoegwan Siheung Janggok Branch.
