Visiting while my partner was on leave, I ordered the spicy minari shabu lunch special set for two, chose the beef half brisket and half chuck, and used the self-refill bar for spring rolls, wide kalguksu noodles and egg vegetable porridge. With a free dessert café by the counter, Sodamchon works just as well for a family meal as for a date. ## Good to know - **Address**: 4F Gyeongseong Building, 171 Jeongjacheon-ro, Jangan-gu, Suwon, Gyeonggi - **Hours**: Daily 11:00–21:00 (last order 20:20) - **Parking**: Seonil Parking Building opposite Lotteria, 1 hour 30 minutes of parking covered - **What we ordered**: Spicy minari shabu for two (lunch special set), beef half brisket and half chuck - **Seating**: Sofa seats for 4, tables for 6 and 8 - **Dessert**: Free dessert café behind the counter (ice cream, coffee, juice) *as written by the visitor on Sep 18, 2026* My partner finally had a day off, so after a trip to Starfield near Hwaseo Station, we stopped by Sodamchon Suwon Jeongja Branch, a well-known shabu-shabu spot in Suwon. ![Visiting Sodamchon Suwon Jeongja Branch, a shabu-shabu spot in Jeongja-dong, Suwon](https://img.superchart.com/images/sodamchon-suwon-jeongja-minari-shabu/sodamchon-suwon-jeongja-minari-shabu-01-1qnty-1200.webp) ## Where is Sodamchon Suwon Jeongja Branch, and where do you park?

They had spicy minari shabu on the menu, so I ordered it for two, choosing the beef split half brisket, half chuck. ## What's on the self-refill bar at Sodamchon Sodamchon, a shabu-shabu and spring roll specialist, had everything from a starter soup and salad to a wide range of vegetables and shabu-shabu ingredients, so it was easy to grab whatever we liked. > You can go back for more as many times as you like, so just take what you'll actually eat!! Let's protect the planet together ♥ Mushrooms, dumplings, fried tofu, rice cakes, sweet pumpkin, bean sprouts, napa cabbage — so many good ingredients for shabu-shabu and spring rolls, right?!! There was also broth tteokbokki and dinner rolls, so we brought those along with a pumpkin salad. ![Plate of shabu-shabu vegetables gathered from the self-refill bar](https://img.superchart.com/images/sodamchon-suwon-jeongja-minari-shabu/sodamchon-suwon-jeongja-minari-shabu-08-z0zv8-966.webp) ![Broth tteokbokki, dinner rolls, and pumpkin salad](https://img.superchart.com/images/sodamchon-suwon-jeongja-minari-shabu/sodamchon-suwon-jeongja-minari-shabu-09-rpmut-966.webp) We hadn't even started the shabu-shabu yet, haha 😍 but the pumpkin salad, butter rolls, yeolmu kimchi noodles and broth tteokbokki were all delicious as starters! ![Yeolmu kimchi noodles eaten as a starter](https://img.superchart.com/images/sodamchon-suwon-jeongja-minari-shabu/sodamchon-suwon-jeongja-minari-shabu-10-1dyvh-966.webp) ![Broth tteokbokki, refilled twice](https://img.superchart.com/images/sodamchon-suwon-jeongja-minari-shabu/sodamchon-suwon-jeongja-minari-shabu-11-1g4m7-966.webp) The tteokbokki tasted like the Sin*-brand style — so good I went back for two refills!! Sodamchon👍🏻 they're great at tteokbokki too😋 ## Spicy minari shabu for two: what comes with the lunch special set ![Table setup for the spicy minari shabu for two](https://img.superchart.com/images/sodamchon-suwon-jeongja-minari-shabu/sodamchon-suwon-jeongja-minari-shabu-12-1cbin-966.webp) Here's the main dish — spicy minari shabu for two. The spicy broth loaded with minari smelled amazing, I loved it. ![Spicy shabu-shabu broth topped generously with minari](https://img.superchart.com/images/sodamchon-suwon-jeongja-minari-shabu/sodamchon-suwon-jeongja-minari-shabu-13-1n5ic-966.webp) ![Lunch special set with half brisket, half chuck beef and side ingredients](https://img.superchart.com/images/sodamchon-suwon-jeongja-minari-shabu/sodamchon-suwon-jeongja-minari-shabu-14-1leji-966.webp) Since we ordered the lunch special set, the beef came with wide kalguksu noodles and ingredients for making egg vegetable porridge too. Sodamchon's little dipping plates were pretty unique and convenient — each sauce spot had a label, so it was easy to know where to put what. We grabbed sauces and toppings from the self-refill bar and got fully set up to enjoy shabu-shabu and spring rolls 😆 Good good 👍🏻 confirmed Suwon shabu-shabu spot🙌🏻🙌🏻 ![Sodamchon's dipping plate with sauce names labeled](https://img.superchart.com/images/sodamchon-suwon-jeongja-minari-shabu/sodamchon-suwon-jeongja-minari-shabu-15-dgr8j-966.webp) ![Sauces and toppings gathered from the self-refill bar](https://img.superchart.com/images/sodamchon-suwon-jeongja-minari-shabu/sodamchon-suwon-jeongja-minari-shabu-16-195ua-966.webp) ## From spring rolls to wide kalguksu and the egg vegetable porridge finish Spring rolls, ready to go!!! Once the vegetables and shabu-shabu ingredients came to a bubbling boil, ![Shabu-shabu pot bubbling with ingredients](https://img.superchart.com/images/sodamchon-suwon-jeongja-minari-shabu/sodamchon-suwon-jeongja-minari-shabu-17-g6xjo-966.webp) in went the good beef!!!! We cooked the meat just right, wrapped it in rice paper, and ate it up happily! ![Spring roll wrapped with meat and vegetables](https://img.superchart.com/images/sodamchon-suwon-jeongja-minari-shabu/sodamchon-suwon-jeongja-minari-shabu-18-10w7r-966.webp) ![Shabu-shabu beef laid on rice paper](https://img.superchart.com/images/sodamchon-suwon-jeongja-minari-shabu/sodamchon-suwon-jeongja-minari-shabu-19-1h2x6-966.webp) ![A bite of spring roll with sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/sodamchon-suwon-jeongja-minari-shabu/sodamchon-suwon-jeongja-minari-shabu-20-1omkp-966.webp) ![Dumplings cooked in the shabu-shabu pot](https://img.superchart.com/images/sodamchon-suwon-jeongja-minari-shabu/sodamchon-suwon-jeongja-minari-shabu-21-d0cl2-966.webp) With sauce, meat and crunchy vegetables piled in, every wrap was seriously good no matter how you made it!!! After the dumplings cooked through and we'd had our fill of meat and veggies, we boiled up the wide kalguksu noodles plus extra kalguksu and hand-torn dough (sujebi) from the self-refill bar. The wide kalguksu noodles soaked up the shabu-shabu broth so well — such a treat! ![Wide kalguksu noodles soaked in broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/sodamchon-suwon-jeongja-minari-shabu/sodamchon-suwon-jeongja-minari-shabu-22-vdwc3-966.webp) They didn't get mushy at all — nice and chewy!! The real finish to shabu-shabu?!! It's the egg vegetable porridge, haha. We scooped out the old broth, brought fresh broth from the self-refill bar, added just the right amount, and made porridge that warmed us up from the inside out. ## The free dessert café at Sodamchon Another thing I loved after finishing the meal — a small free dessert café tucked behind the counter. ![Free dessert café space behind the counter](https://img.superchart.com/images/sodamchon-suwon-jeongja-minari-shabu/sodamchon-suwon-jeongja-minari-shabu-23-nz15f-966.webp) ![Ice cream and drinks enjoyed for free](https://img.superchart.com/images/sodamchon-suwon-jeongja-minari-shabu/sodamchon-suwon-jeongja-minari-shabu-24-1aar1-966.webp) You know how there's a separate stomach for dessert? Without having to move to another café, we could relax right there with ice cream, coffee, and juice. The ice cream was even fancy, haha — cookies and cream, chocolate, and green tea flavors on offer👍🏻 ## Who Sodamchon Suwon Jeongja Branch suits best I'd recommend Sodamchon💛 to anyone near Suwon's Starfield or Hwaseong Haenggung who wants shabu-shabu and spring rolls in Jeongja-dong, Suwon. From shabu-shabu to spring rolls, kalguksu, and egg vegetable porridge, it was a healthy, filling meal in one sitting, and with the self-refill bar and dessert café, it made for a great spot for a family outing or a date. The spacious, comfortable dining room also makes it a good pick for families with kids🙌🏻 ## Where it is - Sodamchon Suwon Jeongja Branch (소담촌 수원정자점) - 171 Jeongjacheon-ro, Gyeongseong Building 4F, Jangan-gu, Suwon-si, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea - 경기도 수원시 장안구 정자천로 171 경성빌딩 4층 - 37.2953857, 126.994555 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%86%8C%EB%8B%B4%EC%B4%8C%20%EC%88%98%EC%9B%90%EC%A0%95%EC%9E%90%EC%A0%90/@37.2953857,126.994555,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@gyeonggi-salt-shaker/sodamchon-suwon-jeongja-minari-shabu/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
