On a busy weekend evening the writer waited for a table, then tried the spicy beef belly broth with kalguksu (knife-cut noodles) and mil-tteok (wheat rice cakes) added, plus a basic beef chuck broth loaded with mixed toppings and a vegetable-beef belly set. Even full, the finishing rosé pasta was worth saving room for. ## Good to know - **Location**: 146 Janghan-ro, 1st floor, Dongdaemun-gu, Seoul, South Korea - **Getting there**: 20-min walk from Janghanpyeong Station Exit 3, 25-min walk from Yongma Station Exit 3 - **Hours**: 11:00 - 22:00 (last order 21:00) - **Closed**: Closed Sept 25 for Chuseok - **Parking**: Available in the ground-floor building, shared with residents so it's on the tight side - **Ordering**: Table-order system, order and pay at your seat - **Spicy beef belly (90g)**: ₩8,700 - **Basic beef chuck (90g)**: ₩7,900 - **Add kalguksu noodles**: +₩1,500 - **Add mil-tteok rice cakes**: +₩1,000 - **Add rosé pasta**: +₩3,500 - **Add mixed toppings**: +₩3,000 - **Add vegetable & beef belly (50g) set**: +₩4,000 - **Event**: Free soft drink for writing a receipt review *as written by the visitor on Sep 7, 2026* As the mornings and evenings turn cooler, I keep craving shabu-shabu haha.

Parking at Shabu Torang is available inside the ground-floor building, but since it's shared with the building's residents it's fairly tight, so keep that in mind ⭐️ ![Waiting list and parking guide outside the restaurant](https://img.superchart.com/images/jangandong-shabu-weekend-waiting-rose-pasta/jangandong-shabu-weekend-waiting-rose-pasta-02-ql1mu-900.webp) ![Entrance signage at Shabu Torang Jang-an Direct Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/jangandong-shabu-weekend-waiting-rose-pasta/jangandong-shabu-weekend-waiting-rose-pasta-03-6q7ib-900.webp) There was also a menu board out front — having a main dish followed by an 'after dish' seems to be Shabu Torang's signature thing?! ![Outdoor menu board listing main dish and after dish](https://img.superchart.com/images/jangandong-shabu-weekend-waiting-rose-pasta/jangandong-shabu-weekend-waiting-rose-pasta-04-ogwcr-900.webp) ## Solo-friendly interior and table ordering After the wait, our turn finally came and we were shown to our seats haha. Inside, the tables were set up nicely for eating alone, but plenty of people were also there on dates or with family!! ![Interior with solo-dining single tables](https://img.superchart.com/images/jangandong-shabu-weekend-waiting-rose-pasta/jangandong-shabu-weekend-waiting-rose-pasta-05-cqb6z-900.webp) ![The seat and induction table we were shown to](https://img.superchart.com/images/jangandong-shabu-weekend-waiting-rose-pasta/jangandong-shabu-weekend-waiting-rose-pasta-06-1fyrk-843.webp) The menu ran on a table-order system where you order and pay directly from your seat, split into shabu-shabu / meat & veg add-ons / cooking add-ons / topping add-ons / drinks and alcohol.

But wait, eating the noodles too made us so full...??? ![Kalguksu noodles cooked in the shabu-shabu broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/jangandong-shabu-weekend-waiting-rose-pasta/jangandong-shabu-weekend-waiting-rose-pasta-19-1bkgn-900.webp) Still, we had to have the final rosé pasta too... haha. Following the recommended way to eat it deliciously: ladle out the broth until only about half a ladle remains, pouring the rest into a side bowl, then pour the pasta into the pot, set the induction to level 3, stir until it thickens up nicely, then turn off the induction and enjoy 😊 ![Broth ladled out and rosé pasta poured into the pot](https://img.superchart.com/images/jangandong-shabu-weekend-waiting-rose-pasta/jangandong-shabu-weekend-waiting-rose-pasta-20-1n3dl-900.webp) ![Rosé pasta simmering down to a thick consistency](https://img.superchart.com/images/jangandong-shabu-weekend-waiting-rose-pasta/jangandong-shabu-weekend-waiting-rose-pasta-21-17smz-900.webp) ![Finished rosé pasta after dish](https://img.superchart.com/images/jangandong-shabu-weekend-waiting-rose-pasta/jangandong-shabu-weekend-waiting-rose-pasta-22-n20o6-900.webp) Seriously, even if you're stuffed, you have to try the rosé pasta!! The moment we took a bite it was so good we forgot how full we were and kept eating 💕 ![Serving out the rosé pasta to eat](https://img.superchart.com/images/jangandong-shabu-weekend-waiting-rose-pasta/jangandong-shabu-weekend-waiting-rose-pasta-23-ahb2c-617.webp) The taste and the value for money were both so good that I think I'll be coming back to Shabu Torang Jang-an Direct Branch often :) There's clearly a reason it's known as a waiting-line favorite — once you try it, a repeat visit feels inevitable!!
