The order was spicy mushroom kalguksu for two in a broth piled with minari (water dropwort) and bean sprouts, plus added beef shabu and dumpling noodles, finished with egg fried rice, in a roomy, clean dining room with basement parking. Deungchon Shabu Kalguksu is worth returning to whenever a spicy bowl of soup is calling. ## Good to know - **What we ordered**: Spicy mushroom kalguksu for two, added beef shabu, added dumpling noodles - **Beef**: At the Gran Passage branch, beef must be added as a separate order - **Parking**: Basement parking in the Gran Passage building; mention it at the counter after your meal - **Location**: Inside the Gran Passage building near Dongtan Lake Park *as written by the visitor on Sep 13, 2026* As the weather's been getting colder lately, I've been craving something hot and spicy, you know~? I hadn't had shabu-shabu in a while, so I wanted to go for the full course — minari-scented shabu-shabu, kalguksu (knife-cut noodle soup), and fried rice, all the way to the last bite. So I went to Deungchon Shabu Kalguksu Gran Passage Branch, one of the well-known shabu-shabu spots in Dongtan! Eating it with that clear, cool breeze outside was such a perfect match 🌿✨ ## Where is Deungchon Shabu Kalguksu Gran Passage Branch? Deungchon Shabu Kalguksu Gran Passage Branch is inside the Gran Passage building right next to Dongtan Lake Park, so it was really easy to find! It's perfect for a Dongtan Lake Park date course~ ### Parking and what the dining room is like If you're driving, don't worry about parking at all!! The Gran Passage building has a spacious basement parking lot, so even new drivers can park comfortably and walk right in. When you're leaving after your meal, just mention it at the counter. ![Parking and interior facilities at the Gran Passage branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongtan-minari-shabu-kalguksu/dongtan-minari-shabu-kalguksu-01-1aoqa-966.webp) ![Parking and interior facilities at the Gran Passage branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongtan-minari-shabu-kalguksu/dongtan-minari-shabu-kalguksu-02-ruu0a-966.webp) ![Parking and interior facilities at the Gran Passage branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongtan-minari-shabu-kalguksu/dongtan-minari-shabu-kalguksu-03-ok3ce-966.webp) Stepping inside, the interior was more spacious and cleanly kept than I expected, so I felt good the moment I walked in! ![Spacious, clean interior of the shabu kalguksu restaurant](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongtan-minari-shabu-kalguksu/dongtan-minari-shabu-kalguksu-04-17uic-966.webp) ![Spacious, clean interior of the shabu kalguksu restaurant](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongtan-minari-shabu-kalguksu/dongtan-minari-shabu-kalguksu-05-7iej0-966.webp) You know how at most soup or shabu-shabu places you often find splatter marks or grease stains around the tables or induction burners~? But here, there wasn't a single splash mark on the tables — everything was completely tidy. Totally pleasant!! The chairs were comfortable too, and it seemed like a great spot for couples on a Dongtan Lake Park date, or for families having a meal together! ## Spicy mushroom kalguksu with beef shabu and dumpling noodles added ![Spicy mushroom kalguksu with add-on noodle options](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongtan-minari-shabu-kalguksu/dongtan-minari-shabu-kalguksu-06-en2nb-966.webp) ![Spicy mushroom kalguksu with add-on noodle options](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongtan-minari-shabu-kalguksu/dongtan-minari-shabu-kalguksu-07-1wpgt-966.webp) We ordered Deungchon's signature 'spicy mushroom kalguksu for two,' and added beef shabu plus dumpling noodles for extra heartiness!! Some branches include the shabu beef in the price and some require it separately — at the Gran Passage branch, the beef needs to be added separately too!!! ![Order with beef shabu and dumpling noodles added](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongtan-minari-shabu-kalguksu/dongtan-minari-shabu-kalguksu-08-f4oi1-966.webp) ![A generously packed pot of spicy mushroom kalguksu](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongtan-minari-shabu-kalguksu/dongtan-minari-shabu-kalguksu-09-k0xd2-1200.webp) ![Shabu kalguksu order requiring separate beef add-on](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongtan-minari-shabu-kalguksu/dongtan-minari-shabu-kalguksu-10-q5dx6-966.webp) Ta-da~ not long after we ordered, a huge pot arrived, packed so full the ingredients looked like they'd spill right out — the visuals were amazing, right? Fresh, fragrant green minari and crunchy bean sprouts were piled on generously, and just looking at it felt refreshing 😲✨ ![Pot piled high with minari and bean sprouts](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongtan-minari-shabu-kalguksu/dongtan-minari-shabu-kalguksu-11-3a5u4-966.webp) Once the induction burner is on and it starts bubbling, the minari wilts down and its aroma melts deeply into the broth — the savory depth was truly next level,,! ![Minari aroma melting into the shabu kalguksu broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongtan-minari-shabu-kalguksu/dongtan-minari-shabu-kalguksu-12-1mb6o-966.webp) ![Minari aroma melting into the shabu kalguksu broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongtan-minari-shabu-kalguksu/dongtan-minari-shabu-kalguksu-13-1yb6h-966.webp) Dipping the beef briefly until the pink is just gone, wrapping it around the chewy mushrooms and minari, and dunking it in wasabi soy sauce — the flavor bursts in your mouth and automatically makes you squint with satisfaction,,, ![Beef shabu paired with mushrooms and minari](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongtan-minari-shabu-kalguksu/dongtan-minari-shabu-kalguksu-14-1hgdj-966.webp) ![Beef shabu paired with mushrooms and minari](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongtan-minari-shabu-kalguksu/dongtan-minari-shabu-kalguksu-15-ar9kc-966.webp) The dumpling noodles, packed full inside, soaked up the spicy broth completely, so every bite had the juices mingling with the soup — it would've been such a shame not to add them! It made the meal feel really satisfying,,! ![Dumpling noodles soaked in spicy broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongtan-minari-shabu-kalguksu/dongtan-minari-shabu-kalguksu-16-19w96-966.webp) ## What order to eat it in: kalguksu noodles first, then egg fried rice Once you've eaten most of the vegetables and meat, it's time to add the chewy noodles~! True to its reputation as a well-known Dongtan shabu-shabu spot, the longer the noodles simmer, the more the starch thickens the broth, turning it into a rich, hearty beef kalguksu!! ![Kalguksu noodles added and simmered in the thickened broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongtan-minari-shabu-kalguksu/dongtan-minari-shabu-kalguksu-17-1s5b1-966.webp) ![Kalguksu noodles added and simmered in the thickened broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongtan-minari-shabu-kalguksu/dongtan-minari-shabu-kalguksu-18-1swbi-966.webp) The chewy, springy noodles get coated in the rich broth, which made me inhale the whole bowl 💕 ![Chewy kalguksu noodles coated in rich broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongtan-minari-shabu-kalguksu/dongtan-minari-shabu-kalguksu-19-haavk-966.webp) And the highlight, of course, is the fried rice that closes out the meal!! Once you finish the kalguksu, ask the staff and they'll take the pot away and fry it up golden brown over high heat — Deungchon's signature nutty, savory egg fried rice truly lived up to its reputation ㅠㅠ ![Egg fried rice requested after finishing the kalguksu](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongtan-minari-shabu-kalguksu/dongtan-minari-shabu-kalguksu-20-1rqpp-966.webp) Mixing the leftover spicy broth I'd saved with the mashed potato mixed into the rice was genuinely moving — even full, I couldn't put my spoon down!! ## Is the full minari shabu kalguksu course worth it? With heaps of fragrant minari and bean sprouts, spicy broth, chewy kalguksu, and legendary fried rice, it was a perfect full course! The clean, tidy interior made the meal even more enjoyable — as a well-known Dongtan shabu-shabu spot, I'm already thinking about going back the next time I crave something spicy~ 💕 If you're near Dongtan Lake Park looking for a spicy meal to hit the spot, I highly recommend stopping by!! ## Where it is - Deungchon Shabu Kalguksu Gran Passage Branch (등촌샤브칼국수 그랑파사쥬점) - 9 Dongtandae-ro 5-gil, Gran Passage Green Zone 2F 2004-2005, Dongtan-gu, Hwaseong-si, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea - 경기도 화성시 동탄구 동탄대로5길 9 그랑파사쥬 그린존 2층 2004호~2005호 - 37.1676291, 127.1058272 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EB%93%B1%EC%B4%8C%EC%83%A4%EB%B8%8C%EC%B9%BC%EA%B5%AD%EC%88%98%20%EA%B7%B8%EB%9E%91%ED%8C%8C%EC%82%AC%EC%A5%AC%EC%A0%90/@37.1676291,127.1058272,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@gyeonggi-restaurant-postcards/dongtan-minari-shabu-kalguksu/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
