The Jang-an branch is a great shabu-shabu spot in Jang-an-dong. ![Information for Shabu Torang Jang-an branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/jangan-shabutorang-sukiyaki-dessert/jangan-shabutorang-sukiyaki-dessert-02-r6eaq-966.webp) ![Shabu Torang Jang-an branch menu information](https://img.superchart.com/images/jangan-shabutorang-sukiyaki-dessert/jangan-shabutorang-sukiyaki-dessert-03-177au-966.webp) ![Shabu Torang topping and finish-dish menu](https://img.superchart.com/images/jangan-shabutorang-sukiyaki-dessert/jangan-shabutorang-sukiyaki-dessert-04-xxpoz-966.webp) ![Shabu Torang Jang-an branch menu](https://img.superchart.com/images/jangan-shabutorang-sukiyaki-dessert/jangan-shabutorang-sukiyaki-dessert-05-zuwsv-966.webp) ## Shabu-shabu with toppings and finish dishes to choose from See the photos for the menu! There were more toppings to choose from than I expected, which was great. There are also so many different finish dishes to pick after your shabu-shabu! Pasta, tteokbokki (spicy rice cakes), egg porridge, and so on and on—seriously, so many haha. So I went with a friend, and it was deliciously warming in the cool weather. ![Shabu-shabu meal and finish-dish options](https://img.superchart.com/images/jangan-shabutorang-sukiyaki-dessert/jangan-shabutorang-sukiyaki-dessert-06-15pef-966.webp) ![Various shabu-shabu finish-dish options](https://img.superchart.com/images/jangan-shabutorang-sukiyaki-dessert/jangan-shabutorang-sukiyaki-dessert-07-1p8r2-966.webp) ## Standard broth or sukiyaki—what did we choose? My friend and I each ordered a different broth. Shabu Torang has five broths, so you can choose what suits your taste! I chose the standard broth, while my friend chose sukiyaki. Let me start by saying: the smell of that sukiyaki was insane hahaha. ![Choice of standard broth and sukiyaki](https://img.superchart.com/images/jangan-shabutorang-sukiyaki-dessert/jangan-shabutorang-sukiyaki-dessert-08-yivv2-966.webp) ### What we ordered ![Shabu Torang order selection](https://img.superchart.com/images/jangan-shabutorang-sukiyaki-dessert/jangan-shabutorang-sukiyaki-dessert-09-1tjtc-966.webp) I told you the sukiyaki smelled incredible..! I think it is because they first build up that rich, nutty flavor with butter and then pour in the broth—it becomes so much richer and tastier, honestly. Add all kinds of vegetables and rich beef brisket to this savory, salty Shabu Torang sukiyaki broth and it gets even better hahaha. ![Sukiyaki broth and beef brisket](https://img.superchart.com/images/jangan-shabutorang-sukiyaki-dessert/jangan-shabutorang-sukiyaki-dessert-10-vyx4q-966.webp) ![Vegetables added to sukiyaki broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/jangan-shabutorang-sukiyaki-dessert/jangan-shabutorang-sukiyaki-dessert-11-ly1q7-966.webp) And the standard broth was the familiar kind we all know! Clean-tasting and mild haha. There were three meat choices—beef brisket, pork shoulder, and chicken breast—and I picked the chicken breast because I was curious how it would come out! ![Standard broth and chicken breast](https://img.superchart.com/images/jangan-shabutorang-sukiyaki-dessert/jangan-shabutorang-sukiyaki-dessert-12-1az5a-966.webp) It was thinly sliced chicken breast haha. I thought chicken breast would suit a more strongly flavored broth, such as tomato soup or sukiyaki, better than the standard broth... haha. ![Thinly sliced chicken breast](https://img.superchart.com/images/jangan-shabutorang-sukiyaki-dessert/jangan-shabutorang-sukiyaki-dessert-13-1mylc-966.webp) We also ordered some extra toppings. The assorted topping plate came with boiled dumplings, fish balls, wide glass noodles, and rice cakes; it was affordable too, so it was easy to add on. ![Assorted toppings with boiled dumplings and fish balls](https://img.superchart.com/images/jangan-shabutorang-sukiyaki-dessert/jangan-shabutorang-sukiyaki-dessert-14-qmn8y-966.webp) Shabu Torang has three sauces too! Sukiyaki comes with a raw egg as well~ The shabu-shabu at Shabu Torang Jang-an Direct Branch was so good! Delicious haha. ![Shabu-shabu sauces and raw egg](https://img.superchart.com/images/jangan-shabutorang-sukiyaki-dessert/jangan-shabutorang-sukiyaki-dessert-15-2u9t7-966.webp) ![Shabu Torang shabu-shabu meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/jangan-shabutorang-sukiyaki-dessert/jangan-shabutorang-sukiyaki-dessert-16-1ik1t-966.webp) ## Finishing with egg porridge and cream risotto And I said you can choose a finish dish at Shabu Torang Jang-an, right? We chose egg porridge for the sukiyaki broth and cream risotto for the standard broth, and wow, these were so good. Shabu Torang Jang-an was perfect right through to the finish dishes. ![Egg porridge and cream risotto finish dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/jangan-shabutorang-sukiyaki-dessert/jangan-shabutorang-sukiyaki-dessert-17-1bhlb-966.webp) This is how to make the finish dishes at Shabu Torang Jang-an, a fantastic shabu-shabu spot~ ![How to prepare shabu-shabu finish dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/jangan-shabutorang-sukiyaki-dessert/jangan-shabutorang-sukiyaki-dessert-18-lv825-966.webp) ![Making egg porridge and cream risotto](https://img.superchart.com/images/jangan-shabutorang-sukiyaki-dessert/jangan-shabutorang-sukiyaki-dessert-19-wk5jq-966.webp) Since they were porridge and risotto, we had to keep stirring, but they became thicker and even more delicious the more we stirred haha. I was stirring away going, “Get even more delicious!” hahaha. If you’re wondering which finish dish to choose at Shabu Torang Jang-an, I recommend the cream risotto and egg porridge!!! ![Thick finish dish stirred as it cooks](https://img.superchart.com/images/jangan-shabutorang-sukiyaki-dessert/jangan-shabutorang-sukiyaki-dessert-20-1c2ff-966.webp) ![Cream risotto finish dish](https://img.superchart.com/images/jangan-shabutorang-sukiyaki-dessert/jangan-shabutorang-sukiyaki-dessert-21-8ewy3-966.webp) ![Egg porridge finish dish](https://img.superchart.com/images/jangan-shabutorang-sukiyaki-dessert/jangan-shabutorang-sukiyaki-dessert-22-136od-966.webp) ![Shabu Torang finish-dish menu options](https://img.superchart.com/images/jangan-shabutorang-sukiyaki-dessert/jangan-shabutorang-sukiyaki-dessert-23-gdl0f-966.webp) ## What about the wait, solo seats, and parking? Oh, and Shabu Torang Jang-an! This really is a great shabu-shabu spot in Jang-an-dong!! The wait during mealtimes looked fairly long. Luckily, we avoided it, but there can be a wait, so keep that in mind if you’re coming for a meal! ![Dining area at Shabu Torang Jang-an branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/jangan-shabutorang-sukiyaki-dessert/jangan-shabutorang-sukiyaki-dessert-24-p9x4m-1200.webp) There are lots of people dining alone too, so I hear it is also known as a good solo-dining spot in Dongdaemun~ There really were so many solo diners on the day we visited! There is counter-style seating, which makes eating alone comfortable, as well as table seating, so you can eat comfortably by yourself or with others. There is parking behind the building, but it is narrower than expected, so keep that in mind too~ ## Where it is - Shabu Torang Jang-an Direct Branch (샤브토랑 장안직영점) - 146 Janghan-ro, Dongdaemun-gu, Seoul, South Korea (서울특별시 동대문구 장한로 146 1층) - 서울특별시 동대문구 장한로 146 1층 - 37.5734348, 127.0720698 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%83%A4%EB%B8%8C%ED%86%A0%EB%9E%91%20%EC%9E%A5%EC%95%88%EC%A7%81%EC%98%81%EC%A0%90/@37.5734348,127.0720698,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@kitchen-doorway/jangan-shabutorang-sukiyaki-dessert/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
