With shabu-shabu, both the meat and vegetables can be eaten to your heart's content, exactly to your taste! Shabu In Seoul was especially satisfying because you can enjoy a wide range from black pork to prime Angus to 1++ hanwoo. The three sauces were also great since you can pick according to your preference.

Broth that deepens to the end, finished with rice porridge

As you eat shabu-shabu, the broth gets really delicious toward the end! As you keep cooking meat and vegetables in it, the flavors of the ingredients naturally blend into the broth, so it feels deeper and richer the further along you get. Even when your stomach is fairly full, you still find yourself wanting the finishing menu! I think what's great about shabu-shabu is that it's not just about the meat — you slowly enjoy everything from the vegetables to the broth all the way to the end.

This lovely lunch with my cousin was filled with such comfort and gratitude :) It really shows how important the meal setting is. Beyond the taste, the meat was sliced so beautifully that I couldn't put my camera down.

And of course, we finished with porridge ❣️ Such a hearty meal is such a big happiness.

Would I go back to Shabu In Seoul Apgujeong Rodeo?

The hanwoo bosupsal, thinly sliced and lightly cooked in the hot broth, was tender and clean-tasting, and the scotch egg had a soft-boiled egg inside that made it both visually striking and uniquely textured. I want to eat it again..!!!! This is a great place to revisit for warm shabu-shabu with friends or family in Apgujeong Rodeo. Above all, with so many menu options, I'd love to try different meats next time — 10000% would visit again.

Especially that perfect combo of the crispy fried outside and the incredibly soft egg inside the scotch egg. Pairing it with hanwoo bosupsal shabu-shabu was such a fun combination. It was such a delicious pairing that I'd highly recommend it as a menu item at Shabu In Seoul Apgujeong Rodeo.
