I was already surprised by the sign inside as soon as I walked in. ## Inside Yuyu Shabu: booth seating and baby chairs ![Calm interior of Yuyu Shabu](https://img.superchart.com/images/naju-innocity-shabu-shabu-mom-lunch/naju-innocity-shabu-shabu-mom-lunch-03-c3bno-900.webp) ![Booth-style table seating with backrest dividers](https://img.superchart.com/images/naju-innocity-shabu-shabu-mom-lunch/naju-innocity-shabu-shabu-mom-lunch-04-1t951-900.webp) ![Dining hall with separated table layout](https://img.superchart.com/images/naju-innocity-shabu-shabu-mom-lunch/naju-innocity-shabu-shabu-mom-lunch-05-16iv5-900.webp) ![Seating area inside Yuyu Shabu Naju Innovation City branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/naju-innocity-shabu-shabu-mom-lunch/naju-innocity-shabu-shabu-mom-lunch-06-1ndoi-900.webp) ![Table set with a shabu-shabu pot](https://img.superchart.com/images/naju-innocity-shabu-shabu-mom-lunch/naju-innocity-shabu-shabu-mom-lunch-07-1s0jn-900.webp) Yuyu Shabu, a good pick for a Naju shabu-shabu restaurant, had a calm interior, and the tables have backrest dividers that make each table feel separated from the others — a layout I really liked! ![Baby chair provided at the restaurant](https://img.superchart.com/images/naju-innocity-shabu-shabu-mom-lunch/naju-innocity-shabu-shabu-mom-lunch-08-hzhfg-900.webp) And there's a baby chair too, just so you know! ## Yuyu Shabu menu and what the 5,000-won set adds ![Yuyu Shabu menu board](https://img.superchart.com/images/naju-innocity-shabu-shabu-mom-lunch/naju-innocity-shabu-shabu-mom-lunch-09-x5l5l-900.webp) ![Menu board showing the set menu](https://img.superchart.com/images/naju-innocity-shabu-shabu-mom-lunch/naju-innocity-shabu-shabu-mom-lunch-10-1favd-900.webp) I don't think there was a set menu the last time I visited — looks like they made one recently!! If you order the Yuyu Shabu set, adding ₩5,000 gets you egg porridge plus a side dish. Even without the set, there was a good variety of menus for a healthy pick-me-up, from Yuyu Shabu to king scallop shabu to conger eel shabu. ![Sign explaining how to enjoy the porridge](https://img.superchart.com/images/naju-innocity-shabu-shabu-mom-lunch/naju-innocity-shabu-shabu-mom-lunch-11-1rtoq-900.webp) I was too full to eat it today!! But honestly, porridge is a must with shabu-shabu haha. They even made a cute sign explaining how to enjoy the porridge best. ![Basic side dishes including kimchi and pickled radish](https://img.superchart.com/images/naju-innocity-shabu-shabu-mom-lunch/naju-innocity-shabu-shabu-mom-lunch-12-yywgd-900.webp) ![Shabu-shabu sauce made with raw egg](https://img.superchart.com/images/naju-innocity-shabu-shabu-mom-lunch/naju-innocity-shabu-shabu-mom-lunch-13-atw2y-900.webp) ## Table setting and the raw egg dipping sauce First, the basic setting! Pickled pepper side dish, kimchi, and pickled radish all ready to go. And Yuyu Shabu comes with a sauce made with raw egg — this is genuinely a special treat!! It's so good, definitely dip your shabu-shabu right in!! There's also a powder available to make the broth spicier, and you can choose between regular and spicy broth for the base — worth knowing! Vinegar-chili sauce, chili sauce, peanut sauce — all the sauces are ready, you just pick your favorite flavor. ![Table setting with vinegar-chili, chili, and peanut sauces](https://img.superchart.com/images/naju-innocity-shabu-shabu-mom-lunch/naju-innocity-shabu-shabu-mom-lunch-14-1l9w4-900.webp) ## What comes with the signature Yuyu Shabu: vegetables and mushrooms I ordered Yuyu Shabu today! It's the signature dish that comes with several types of vegetables and mushrooms, plus noodles included!! ![A full spread of Yuyu Shabu vegetables and mushrooms](https://img.superchart.com/images/naju-innocity-shabu-shabu-mom-lunch/naju-innocity-shabu-shabu-mom-lunch-15-46jre-900.webp) ![Plates of various mushrooms and vegetables](https://img.superchart.com/images/naju-innocity-shabu-shabu-mom-lunch/naju-innocity-shabu-shabu-mom-lunch-16-1er9n-900.webp) This is how it's served — even just by looking, you can tell there's a ton of ingredients, right? First, the mushrooms — wood ear, enoki, shiitake, oyster mushrooms, so many kinds. And sweet pumpkin, carrot, bean sprouts, napa cabbage, bok choy, fried tofu — vegetables piled high, all set to deepen the shabu-shabu's flavor. ![Shabu-shabu ingredients including sweet pumpkin and bok choy](https://img.superchart.com/images/naju-innocity-shabu-shabu-mom-lunch/naju-innocity-shabu-shabu-mom-lunch-17-1lojq-900.webp) They told us to dip in the order of fish cake, vegetables, then meat, so I tried it exactly that way!!! ![Vegetables cooking in the shabu-shabu pot](https://img.superchart.com/images/naju-innocity-shabu-shabu-mom-lunch/naju-innocity-shabu-shabu-mom-lunch-18-10dhl-900.webp) Can you see how the pot is already full just from the vegetables..!! ![Shabu-shabu pot filled with vegetables](https://img.superchart.com/images/naju-innocity-shabu-shabu-mom-lunch/naju-innocity-shabu-shabu-mom-lunch-19-1sy36-1200.webp) The burner was strong too, so it came to a boil quickly! It was a weekend lunch, and Naju usually isn't that busy on weekends, but the place was nearly full. Popular spots really do survive anywhere!!! ![Self-bar stocked with fresh vegetables](https://img.superchart.com/images/naju-innocity-shabu-shabu-mom-lunch/naju-innocity-shabu-shabu-mom-lunch-20-5ge0v-900.webp) ## How the all-you-can-eat vegetable and mushroom self-bar works Here's the self-bar! They've set out fresh vegetables at the self-bar!!! Thanks to the unlimited refills of vegetables and mushrooms, I went back for more!!! Shabu-shabu vegetables are just so good no matter how much you eat — I kept going back for more haha. ![Plate of well-cooked vegetables scooped from the pot](https://img.superchart.com/images/naju-innocity-shabu-shabu-mom-lunch/naju-innocity-shabu-shabu-mom-lunch-21-is8b9-900.webp) ![Shabu-shabu vegetables dipped in sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/naju-innocity-shabu-shabu-mom-lunch/naju-innocity-shabu-shabu-mom-lunch-22-1e0ge-900.webp) Dipping the well-cooked vegetables into the sauce really felt like a proper pick-me-up!!! The sweet pumpkin cooks relatively slowly, so I waited while eating other vegetables. Once it's cooked until it's about to fall apart, it's soft and sweet!!! I really love sweet pumpkin~~ There was quite a lot of shabu-shabu meat too — I added a batch like this more than five times!! Amazing! ![Shabu-shabu meat cooking in the broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/naju-innocity-shabu-shabu-mom-lunch/naju-innocity-shabu-shabu-mom-lunch-23-4ytmk-900.webp) ## Finishing the broth with noodles as kalguksu Lastly, I made kalguksu (knife-cut noodle soup) using the noodles that come included with the Yuyu Shabu order. The noodles were chewy and really delicious!!! ![Kalguksu made with the included noodles](https://img.superchart.com/images/naju-innocity-shabu-shabu-mom-lunch/naju-innocity-shabu-shabu-mom-lunch-24-1n6st-900.webp) ## Is Yuyu Shabu a good spot to take your parents? I went with my mom, and inside the restaurant there were customers of all ages — some families had even brought grandmothers along!!! My mom was really satisfied too — a great place to bring your parents!! If you're deciding on a Naju Innovation City restaurant, I definitely recommend giving this one a try!!!! ## Where it is - Yuyu Shabu Naju Innovation City branch (유유샤브 나주혁신점) - 22 Baemet 1-gil, 1st floor units 113 and 114, Naju, South Jeolla, South Korea - 전남광주통합특별시 나주시 배멧1길 22 1층 113호, 114호 - 35.0188693, 126.7927253 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%9C%A0%EC%9C%A0%EC%83%A4%EB%B8%8C%20%EB%82%98%EC%A3%BC%ED%98%81%EC%8B%A0%EC%A0%90/@35.0188693,126.7927253,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@gyeonggi-napkin-book/naju-innocity-shabu-shabu-mom-lunch/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
