# Suwon buffet birthday dinner with mushroom kalguksu: Pyeonbaek Hoegwan - By Jiwon Oh (https://superchart.com/en/@pyeongchon-noon-counter/) - Written Sep 18, 2026 - Local places › Restaurants › Suwon, Gyeonggi - Sponsored: This post was written after visiting with support from the business. - English edition: https://superchart.com/en/@pyeongchon-noon-counter/pyeonbaek-hoegwan-cheoncheon-birthday-dinner/ - Also in: [한국어](https://superchart.com/ko/@pyeongchon-noon-counter/pyeonbaek-hoegwan-cheoncheon-birthday-dinner/index.md) ## In short Pyeonbaek Hoegwan Cheoncheon Branch is an all-you-can-eat cypress-steamed meat, Vietnamese spring roll and shabu-shabu restaurant on the 8th floor of a building on Manseok-ro 19beon-gil in Cheoncheon-dong, Suwon. The writer came for her birthday with her husband, ate the cypress-steamed meat, then switched the shabu-shabu broth to spicy mushroom and doenjang chicken, and found the jjangalguksu (thick knife-cut noodle soup) simmered in the spicy mushroom broth the highlight. With fresh vegetables at the self-bar and meat that had no gamey smell, Pyeonbaek Hoegwan Cheoncheon is a place she would visit again. ## Good to know - **Weekday lunch all-you-can-eat set**: 17,900 won - **All-you-can-eat set, dinner / weekends / holidays**: 20,900 won - **Children (elementary school age)**: 12,900 won - **Preschoolers (ages 4–7)**: 7,900 won - **Broth options**: 5 kinds: bonito, spicy mushroom, doenjang chicken, beef-bone mala, beef-bone tomato - **Parking**: Customer-only lot on B1, fairly spacious - **Location**: 8F, 11-7 Manseok-ro 19beon-gil, Jangan-gu, Suwon, Gyeonggi-do - **Reservations**: Bookable on Naver; reserve ahead if you want a birthday banner - **Promotion**: Cass draft beer, 2+1 *as written by the visitor on Sep 18, 2026* ![All-you-can-eat cypress-steamed meat spread at Pyeonbaek Hoegwan Cheoncheon](https://img.superchart.com/images/pyeonbaek-hoegwan-cheoncheon-birthday-dinner/pyeonbaek-hoegwan-cheoncheon-birthday-dinner-01-1j3jo-1200.webp) Today's my birthday, so my husband and I went to Pyeonbaek Hoegwan Cheoncheon Branch, a place I've really been wanting to visit~! ## Parking and reservations at Pyeonbaek Hoegwan Cheoncheon For parking, head down to the B1 level.

When it goes off, the owner comes to open the lid, so don't touch the lid yourself~! ![Self-bar with shabu-shabu and spring roll vegetables separated](https://img.superchart.com/images/pyeonbaek-hoegwan-cheoncheon-birthday-dinner/pyeonbaek-hoegwan-cheoncheon-birthday-dinner-05-1m2aa-900.webp) ## What is on the self-bar? At Pyeonbaek Hoegwan Cheoncheon's self-bar, the shabu-shabu vegetables and spring roll vegetables are kept separate. The vegetables are genuinely so fresh and neatly arranged. ![Spring roll vegetable section with labeled compartments](https://img.superchart.com/images/pyeonbaek-hoegwan-cheoncheon-birthday-dinner/pyeonbaek-hoegwan-cheoncheon-birthday-dinner-06-14cpf-900.webp) The spring roll vegetable section has each compartment labeled with a name, so you just scoop the right veggie into each spot^^ ![Self-bar with aprons, tongs, and ramyeon noodles](https://img.superchart.com/images/pyeonbaek-hoegwan-cheoncheon-birthday-dinner/pyeonbaek-hoegwan-cheoncheon-birthday-dinner-07-1np6h-900.webp) There are aprons to the right of the shabu-shabu vegetables too~! Above the tongs, scissors, and ladle are ramyeon noodles and kids' spoons and forks~ ![Shabu-shabu meat displayed at the self-bar](https://img.superchart.com/images/pyeonbaek-hoegwan-cheoncheon-birthday-dinner/pyeonbaek-hoegwan-cheoncheon-birthday-dinner-08-taf22-900.webp) ![Gochujapchae and tteokbokki side dish corner](https://img.superchart.com/images/pyeonbaek-hoegwan-cheoncheon-birthday-dinner/pyeonbaek-hoegwan-cheoncheon-birthday-dinner-09-gajxa-900.webp) ![Salad and fried food displayed at the self-bar](https://img.superchart.com/images/pyeonbaek-hoegwan-cheoncheon-birthday-dinner/pyeonbaek-hoegwan-cheoncheon-birthday-dinner-10-icg6i-900.webp) ![Cold buckwheat noodles, fruit, and vinegared side dish corner](https://img.superchart.com/images/pyeonbaek-hoegwan-cheoncheon-birthday-dinner/pyeonbaek-hoegwan-cheoncheon-birthday-dinner-11-8wpqc-m-900.webp) The self-bar has shabu-shabu meat, gochujapchae (spicy stir-fried noodles), tteokbokki (spicy rice cakes), salad, fried food, cold buckwheat noodles, fruit, and vinegared side dishes, all laid out neatly and looking great — and everything was genuinely delicious~ Wrapping the meat in the vinegared side dish is the best~! ![Lemon water and americano drink corner](https://img.superchart.com/images/pyeonbaek-hoegwan-cheoncheon-birthday-dinner/pyeonbaek-hoegwan-cheoncheon-birthday-dinner-12-1slwu-900.webp) They also have lemon water and americano ready, just so you know~! ## How to eat the cypress-steamed meat and Vietnamese spring rolls When the timer goes off, they open the lid for you^^ Dip the meat with the spring roll vegetables and various sauces~ ![Plate of salad and tteokbokki brought from the self-bar](https://img.superchart.com/images/pyeonbaek-hoegwan-cheoncheon-birthday-dinner/pyeonbaek-hoegwan-cheoncheon-birthday-dinner-13-gxxgu-900.webp) We first ate through everything we'd brought over — salad, tteokbokki, and so on. Honestly, not a single thing was bad...hahaha ![Beef brisket inside the opened cypress-steamed pot](https://img.superchart.com/images/pyeonbaek-hoegwan-cheoncheon-birthday-dinner/pyeonbaek-hoegwan-cheoncheon-birthday-dinner-14-urpne-900.webp) Kya~~~~~~~~~~ can you see how it looks??? These beef brisket friends are glowing, honestly~ Cooked just right. ![Spring roll wrapped in rice paper](https://img.superchart.com/images/pyeonbaek-hoegwan-cheoncheon-birthday-dinner/pyeonbaek-hoegwan-cheoncheon-birthday-dinner-15-9e5yj-900.webp) ![Plump shrimp taken from the cypress-steamed pot](https://img.superchart.com/images/pyeonbaek-hoegwan-cheoncheon-birthday-dinner/pyeonbaek-hoegwan-cheoncheon-birthday-dinner-16-pserv-900.webp) Soak a rice paper sheet, add vegetables and meat, dip in sauce — pure bliss~♥ And the shrimp were so plump~ ![Table set with spring rolls and sauces](https://img.superchart.com/images/pyeonbaek-hoegwan-cheoncheon-birthday-dinner/pyeonbaek-hoegwan-cheoncheon-birthday-dinner-17-8h1hd-900.webp) ## How many shabu-shabu broths can you choose from? Once you finish the cypress-steamed meat, press the shabu-shabu swap button on the staff call panel and the owner comes to switch things over. There are five broths: bonito, spicy mushroom, doenjang chicken, beef bone mala, and beef bone tomato — I wanted the spicy mushroom broth and my husband wanted the doenjang chicken broth, so we ordered both. ![Pots of spicy mushroom broth and doenjang chicken broth shabu-shabu](https://img.superchart.com/images/pyeonbaek-hoegwan-cheoncheon-birthday-dinner/pyeonbaek-hoegwan-cheoncheon-birthday-dinner-18-1y9rs-900.webp) Once they bring the broth, they bring the meat, various vegetables, and noodles while it comes to a boil. ![Plate of meat brought over for shabu-shabu](https://img.superchart.com/images/pyeonbaek-hoegwan-cheoncheon-birthday-dinner/pyeonbaek-hoegwan-cheoncheon-birthday-dinner-19-q6j9x-900.webp) ![Plate of vegetables and noodles for shabu-shabu](https://img.superchart.com/images/pyeonbaek-hoegwan-cheoncheon-birthday-dinner/pyeonbaek-hoegwan-cheoncheon-birthday-dinner-20-1uvh7-900.webp) I love fish cake, so I piled on plenty of fish cake and vegetables. ![Shabu-shabu pot filled with fish cake and vegetables](https://img.superchart.com/images/pyeonbaek-hoegwan-cheoncheon-birthday-dinner/pyeonbaek-hoegwan-cheoncheon-birthday-dinner-21-186lg-900.webp) I'm the impatient type who throws everything in before it even boils... lol The fish cake cooked just right and was genuinely delicious~ The doenjang chicken broth had a clean doenjang taste with a subtle chicken flavor — personally I thought it was way better and cleaner-tasting than the bonito broth~ The spicy mushroom broth was a bit spicy for me since I can't handle spice well. But that's exactly why I chose it~! ![Pot of spicy mushroom broth with kalguksu noodles added](https://img.superchart.com/images/pyeonbaek-hoegwan-cheoncheon-birthday-dinner/pyeonbaek-hoegwan-cheoncheon-birthday-dinner-22-1gm2k-900.webp) ![Thickly boiled jjangalguksu noodle soup](https://img.superchart.com/images/pyeonbaek-hoegwan-cheoncheon-birthday-dinner/pyeonbaek-hoegwan-cheoncheon-birthday-dinner-23-1qjye-900.webp) ### Jjangalguksu: knife-cut noodles in the spicy mushroom broth Ta-da~~ The kiosk kept showing a video of people making jjangalguksu (thick knife-cut noodle soup) lol. How could we not try it?? lol After eating enough, they added the kalguksu noodles and boiled it up nicely. They tried to add it to my husband's doenjang chicken broth too, but he said he was full, and since he likes jjangalguksu anyway, we just added the noodles to the spicy mushroom broth. The broth turns really thick and rich once it becomes jjangalguksu — seriously, everyone, you have to order the spicy mushroom broth. The jjangalguksu alone made that broth earn its keep~! Mixed with the meat fat, it was so delicious~! I'm definitely ordering the spicy mushroom broth again next time~ ![Cass draft beer 2+1 promotion sign](https://img.superchart.com/images/pyeonbaek-hoegwan-cheoncheon-birthday-dinner/pyeonbaek-hoegwan-cheoncheon-birthday-dinner-24-dhgrl-900.webp) They also have a Cass draft beer 2+1 promotion~ I really wanted it but... I drove, and I can't drink three glasses alone lol, so I'll save it for next time~ ## Is Pyeonbaek Hoegwan Cheoncheon worth a return visit? On the way out there's a handwashing area~ When you're out with kids it's hard to take them to the bathroom, so having this right near the exit is really nice~ I'd say I've been to a lot of all-you-can-eat shabu-shabu places, and I don't think I've seen one with vegetables as fresh and clean as Pyeonbaek Hoegwan Cheoncheon~ The owners are constantly moving around tidying up. They're kind and take great care of the place, so of course the food is good~! Frozen meat can sometimes have a gamey smell, but this meat was so fresh... no gamey smell at all, and it was really tender, so I kept going back for just the meat^^ I was still full by evening lol ## Where it is - Pyeonbaek Hoegwan Cheoncheon Branch (편백회관 천천점) - 8F, 11-7 Manseok-ro 19beon-gil, Jangan-gu, Suwon-si, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea - 경기도 수원시 장안구 만석로19번길 11-7 8층 편백회관 - 37.295577, 126.9832988 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%ED%8E%B8%EB%B0%B1%ED%9A%8C%EA%B4%80%20%EC%B2%9C%EC%B2%9C%EC%A0%90/@37.295577,126.9832988,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@pyeongchon-noon-counter/pyeonbaek-hoegwan-cheoncheon-birthday-dinner/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
