(https://superchart.com/en/@harbor-supper-pages/) - Written Sep 8, 2026 - Local places › Restaurants › Nam-gu, Busan - Sponsored: This review was written after receiving a complimentary meal from the restaurant. - English edition: https://superchart.com/en/@harbor-supper-pages/munhyeon-shabu-kalguksu-weekend-evening-wait/ - Also in: [한국어](https://superchart.com/ko/@harbor-supper-pages/munhyeon-shabu-kalguksu-weekend-evening-wait/index.md) ## In short Yunujae Munhyeon Shabu Kalguksu is a shabu-shabu kalguksu (knife-cut noodle) restaurant in Munhyeon-dong, Nam-gu, Busan. Visiting on a weekend at 7pm meant a 10-20 minute wait before ordering the regular-spice red broth and eating meat, then noodles, then fried rice, with broth, kimchi and kkakdugi from the self-serve bar. Cooked on induction so the pot handles stay cool and with a baby chair on hand, it's an easy-going, good-value spot for family dinners or dates. ## Good to know - **Hours**: Daily 11:00–20:50 - **Break time**: 15:00–16:30 - **Last order**: 20:00 - **Parking**: 2-hour free parking voucher for Daerim City Plaza underground lot (ask after your meal) - **Broth choice**: Red or white broth, with spicy or regular refill options - **Self-serve bar**: Broth, kimchi, kkakdugi (radish kimchi) - **Ordering**: Tablet at the table - **Meat**: US Choice-grade chuck flap, Australian S-grade beef - **Kids**: Baby chairs available *as written by the visitor on Sep 8, 2026* As the hot weather slowly fades and cool autumn rolls in, I've already been craving soup dishes in the evening 🤤 So I'm here to recommend a good-value Munhyeon-dong restaurant that everyone — kids and adults alike — will love for a meal out: Yunujae Shabu Kalguksu!! Shabu-shabu meat + kalguksu (knife-cut noodles) + fried rice — that combo is just too good. ![Exterior view of Yunujae Munhyeon Shabu Kalguksu](https://img.superchart.com/images/munhyeon-shabu-kalguksu-weekend-evening-wait/munhyeon-shabu-kalguksu-weekend-evening-wait-01-1i9pl-900.webp) > Yunujae Munhyeon Shabu Kalguksu ## Hours and parking ![Business hours sign at Yunujae Munhyeon Shabu Kalguksu](https://img.superchart.com/images/munhyeon-shabu-kalguksu-weekend-evening-wait/munhyeon-shabu-kalguksu-weekend-evening-wait-02-19anq-900.webp) Open daily 11:00–20:50, with a break time from 15:00–16:30, and last order at 20:00. 🅿️ Park in the underground lot at Daerim City Plaza and they'll give you a 2-hour free parking voucher (just make sure to ask after your meal!) ![Restaurant entrance inside Daerim Munhyeon City Plaza](https://img.superchart.com/images/munhyeon-shabu-kalguksu-weekend-evening-wait/munhyeon-shabu-kalguksu-weekend-evening-wait-03-vxlcz-900.webp) ## How long is the wait on a weekend at 7pm? I went around 7pm on a weekend and there was a wait. I guess with the weather cooling down, this place is seriously popular. Just write your name on the waiting list and sit outside to wait! ![Weekend evening waiting list and waiting area](https://img.superchart.com/images/munhyeon-shabu-kalguksu-weekend-evening-wait/munhyeon-shabu-kalguksu-weekend-evening-wait-04-1bcte-900.webp) ![Waiting seats outside the restaurant](https://img.superchart.com/images/munhyeon-shabu-kalguksu-weekend-evening-wait/munhyeon-shabu-kalguksu-weekend-evening-wait-05-1tktf-900.webp) ![Fully packed interior of the restaurant](https://img.superchart.com/images/munhyeon-shabu-kalguksu-weekend-evening-wait/munhyeon-shabu-kalguksu-weekend-evening-wait-06-146yn-900.webp) Inside, it was already almost completely full... but I think I only waited about 10–20 minutes!! ![Table setting for shabu kalguksu](https://img.superchart.com/images/munhyeon-shabu-kalguksu-weekend-evening-wait/munhyeon-shabu-kalguksu-weekend-evening-wait-07-1qlxw-900.webp) ## Red broth vs. white broth, tablet ordering You order from the tablet on the table. There's the red one and the white one — I went with the red broth. Shabu-shabu always tastes better a little spicy to me. The white one looked good for kids! ![Tablet ordering screen at the table](https://img.superchart.com/images/munhyeon-shabu-kalguksu-weekend-evening-wait/munhyeon-shabu-kalguksu-weekend-evening-wait-08-9og7p-900.webp) Right next to it were a soy sauce dish, paper cups, soy sauce and wasabi. ![Soy sauce and wasabi sauce corner](https://img.superchart.com/images/munhyeon-shabu-kalguksu-weekend-evening-wait/munhyeon-shabu-kalguksu-weekend-evening-wait-09-p1i7z-900.webp) ### Eating order guide - Before the broth boils, put all the meat in at once, then once it starts boiling, lower the induction heat to 5 and dip in sauce with vegetables - After finishing the meat, add the kalguksu noodles and once the broth boils again, set the induction to 6 and boil for 5 minutes One thing I liked about Munhyeon-dong's Yunujae Shabu Kalguksu — the pot handle for the kalguksu doesn't get hot ヾ(´∀｀)ﾉﾞ ![Sign explaining the eating order](https://img.superchart.com/images/munhyeon-shabu-kalguksu-weekend-evening-wait/munhyeon-shabu-kalguksu-weekend-evening-wait-10-1g1ds-900.webp) ## Self-serve broth, kimchi, kkakdugi The self-serve bar has broth, kimchi and kkakdugi — just help yourself~~ You can also choose spicy or regular broth for refills! ![Self-serve bar with broth, kimchi and kkakdugi](https://img.superchart.com/images/munhyeon-shabu-kalguksu-weekend-evening-wait/munhyeon-shabu-kalguksu-weekend-evening-wait-11-hbebg-1200.webp) ## How does the red shabu (regular spice) taste? I ordered the red shabu (regular spice). Shabu-shabu just isn't complete without kalguksu and fried rice. Since it's induction, there's no open flame so it doesn't get hot ~! Can't avoid the smoke though... They load the shabu-shabu with a ton of meat. The visual is insane. Once the meat is cooked, dip it cleanly in the soy sauce + wasabi first. So so good... The meat isn't tough at all, it's so tender! The broth is a bit spicy-tangy, with the pungent kick of garlic spreading like a jolt that wakes up your appetite. ![Red shabu-shabu pot piled with meat](https://img.superchart.com/images/munhyeon-shabu-kalguksu-weekend-evening-wait/munhyeon-shabu-kalguksu-weekend-evening-wait-12-1b2n4-900.webp) The natural sweetness of the vegetables layers with the savory fat seeping out of the meat to create a rich, dense depth of flavor. ![Plate of cooked beef and vegetables lifted out of the pot](https://img.superchart.com/images/munhyeon-shabu-kalguksu-weekend-evening-wait/munhyeon-shabu-kalguksu-weekend-evening-wait-13-16ber-900.webp) ![Spicy broth with minari and mushrooms added](https://img.superchart.com/images/munhyeon-shabu-kalguksu-weekend-evening-wait/munhyeon-shabu-kalguksu-weekend-evening-wait-14-85bwt-900.webp) Tender, chewy beef and crisp minari (water dropwort) and mushrooms soak up the broth, so every bite bursts with rich juices in your mouth?! ![Shabu-shabu meat with kkakdugi](https://img.superchart.com/images/munhyeon-shabu-kalguksu-weekend-evening-wait/munhyeon-shabu-kalguksu-weekend-evening-wait-15-1bajx-900.webp) And the crunchy, well-fermented kkakdugi is such a fantastic pairing — you have to try it 🤤 ## House-made noodles Munhyeon-dong's Yunujae Shabu Kalguksu makes its own noodles in-house, developed after a long period of research! When you boil the house-made kalguksu noodles in broth infused with the essence of meat and vegetables, the starch from the noodles dissolves into it, making the broth thicker and even deeper! ![House-made kalguksu noodles added to the broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/munhyeon-shabu-kalguksu-weekend-evening-wait/munhyeon-shabu-kalguksu-weekend-evening-wait-16-1evfm-900.webp) The noodles are springy and chewy, so slurping them down was so so good! ![Springy kalguksu noodle strands lifted from the pot](https://img.superchart.com/images/munhyeon-shabu-kalguksu-weekend-evening-wait/munhyeon-shabu-kalguksu-weekend-evening-wait-17-dwysy-900.webp) ![Sujebi dough flakes in the kalguksu](https://img.superchart.com/images/munhyeon-shabu-kalguksu-weekend-evening-wait/munhyeon-shabu-kalguksu-weekend-evening-wait-18-1u93v-900.webp) It's also good eaten with the well-fermented kimchi, and there's sujebi (hand-torn dough flakes) in there too, so you can feel the chewy texture even more~~! ![Shabu kalguksu eaten together with kimchi](https://img.superchart.com/images/munhyeon-shabu-kalguksu-weekend-evening-wait/munhyeon-shabu-kalguksu-weekend-evening-wait-19-mc9xv-900.webp) It was so good I actually debated whether to order more — the kalguksu was perfect 🤤 ## The highlight is the fried rice The highlight, fried rice!!! ヾ(´∀｀)ﾉﾞ There was a lot of finely chopped kimchi so the texture was great to chew on. I would've regretted it if I hadn't ordered it. ![Finishing fried rice made with kimchi](https://img.superchart.com/images/munhyeon-shabu-kalguksu-weekend-evening-wait/munhyeon-shabu-kalguksu-weekend-evening-wait-20-1gb7n-900.webp) ![Fried rice slightly crisped in the pot](https://img.superchart.com/images/munhyeon-shabu-kalguksu-weekend-evening-wait/munhyeon-shabu-kalguksu-weekend-evening-wait-21-1t04h-900.webp) Scraping up the fried rice that's slightly stuck to the pot adds crispiness and nuttiness on top — nothing better,,, ![Pot of fried rice scraped completely clean](https://img.superchart.com/images/munhyeon-shabu-kalguksu-weekend-evening-wait/munhyeon-shabu-kalguksu-weekend-evening-wait-22-td4g3-900.webp) I scraped the pot completely clean haha.. ## Who should go here Located in Munhyeon-dong, Nam-gu, Busan, Yunujae Shabu Kalguksu guarantees great taste at a reasonable, good-value price. They say they only use US Choice-grade chuck flap and Australian S-grade beef that hasn't been sitting long since slaughter, so the meat has no off smell and isn't tough. It's also a place where you can taste house-made kalguksu noodles produced in-house! I'd recommend it for a family meal out or a couples' date, and since baby chairs are available, it's also perfect for visiting with kids. If you're looking for a good kalguksu restaurant near Munhyeon-dong in Busan, I really recommend Yunujae Shabu Kalguksu. ## Where it is - Yunujae Munhyeon Shabu Kalguksu (윤우재 문현샤브 칼국수) - 26 Suyeong-ro, Daerim Munhyeon City Plaza 158-161, Nam-gu, Busan, South Korea - 부산광역시 남구 수영로 26 대림문현시티프라자 158호-161호 - 35.1365531, 129.0703709 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%9C%A4%EC%9A%B0%EC%9E%AC%20%EB%AC%B8%ED%98%84%EC%83%A4%EB%B8%8C%20%EC%B9%BC%EA%B5%AD%EC%88%98/@35.1365531,129.0703709,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@harbor-supper-pages/munhyeon-shabu-kalguksu-weekend-evening-wait/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
