Location and visitor information for Shabuway Ruwon City Cheongna Branch

Shabuway Ruwon City Cheongna Branch is on the second floor of Ruwon Top Plaza at 94 Bongojae 3-ro, Seo-gu, Incheon, about a five-minute walk from Exit 4 of Gajeong Station. It is open daily from 11:30 to 21:30, with the salad bar closing at 21:00. There is a weekday break time from 15:30 to 17:00, while weekends and public holidays operate continuously. Parking is available in the shopping complex's B1–B2 garage and at the Ace Tower parking lot in front of the building.

Last weekend at lunch, I went to Shabuway Ruwon City Cheongna Branch near Ruwon City with a friend to eat something delicious and lift our moods! We both absolutely love shabu-shabu, so we often seek out shabu-shabu buffets around Cheongna and Gajeong-dong. This Shabuway visit was especially satisfying, with unlimited top-grade beef and a high-quality house-made salad bar!

It is about a five-minute walk from Gajeong Station Exit 4 and sits on the second floor of Ruwon Top Plaza, so it is easy to find. Parking is easy too, with both the underground shopping-complex lot and the Ace Tower lot across the street available—perfect for driving over!

A spacious, comfortable restaurant even at weekend lunch

There were quite a few guests because it was weekend lunch, but my very first impression when I walked in was: this place is seriously spacious and clean! The interior is modern and neatly put together overall, and the tables are generously spaced, so buffet traffic does not overlap or feel chaotic.

There is plenty of seating, so it seems like a good choice for group gatherings, company dinners, or a weekend family meal. There is a weekday break time, but it runs continuously on weekends and public holidays, making it just right for a lunch outing on the weekend!

Weekend Prime Unlimited Shabu price and what is included

Once we were seated and looked over the menu, the selection felt really substantial for the price.

• Weekend and public holiday Prime Unlimited Shabu: ₩29,900
• Weekday-only Prime Pork Shoulder Lunch: ₩18,000 (180 g meat + salad bar)
• Weekday Prime Unlimited Shabu Lunch: ₩24,900
• Weekday Prime Unlimited Shabu Dinner: ₩29,900

Since we visited on the weekend, we ordered the Prime Unlimited Shabu course (₩29,900)! The unlimited menu lets you enjoy as much U.S. prime-grade beef chuck, beef brisket, and pork shoulder as you want.

Meat with a half mild, half spicy broth

Choosing only one broth felt like a shame, so we went half-and-half: a light yet deeply flavored mild broth and a savory, refreshing spicy broth!

We piled fresh vegetables from the salad bar into both sides, let them bubble away, then briefly dipped the beef in the broth—and the combination was honestly unreal! The mild broth was clean with a deep savory flavor, while the spicy broth had just enough kick to cut through the richness of the meat, so alternating between them was so much fun.

More than anything, the meat quality was amazing. The thinly sliced, bright-red prime beef cooked in the broth without a trace of off flavor and melted tenderly in my mouth. At all-you-can-eat places, meat can often be dry or tough, but at Shabuway I could definitely tell that they put a lot of care into the quality of the meat.

House-made salad bar, sides, and desserts

Not only the shabu-shabu meat, but also the hotel-style salad bar exceeded my expectations!

They told us that most dishes are made in-house, and the bar was packed with fresh ssam vegetables (wrap vegetables) and other vegetables, plus a range of hot foods and salads that pair beautifully with shabu-shabu. It was not just a spread padded out with lots of items—every single dish made me want to go back for more, and everything was delicious!

My friend and I chatted away while refilling shabu-shabu meat and vegetables several times, then finished with the delicious salad-bar sides and desserts. It was truly the perfect weekend lunch.

Shabuway Ruwon City Cheongna Branch was so satisfying because we could enjoy top-grade prime beef and a well-stocked salad bar to our hearts' content in a spacious, comfortable setting! If you are looking for a good-value shabu-shabu buffet with a clean atmosphere around Gajeong-dong or Cheongna, I strongly recommend stopping by at least once!
