For 13,800 won per person, the spicy-broth set moves from beef and vegetables to dumplings, kalguksu, juk, and fried rice. Verdict: a warm, seriously filling meal with memorable fresh kimchi. ## Good to know - **Address**: 172 Jeoljae-ro, Taehan Press Center, 3F Room 302, Sejong, South Korea (세종특별자치시 절재로 172 태한프레스센터 3층 302호) - **Hours**: 10:30–21:00 - **Weekday break**: 15:00–17:00 - **Last order**: 20:30 - **Parking**: Building underground parking available - **Menu**: Italy six-part shabu kalguksu ₩13,800 - **Seating**: Private rooms available *as written by the visitor on Sep 12, 2026* ![Signature dish at Italy Shabu Kalguksu Sejong Eojin Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/sejong-shabu-kalguksu-course-meal/sejong-shabu-kalguksu-course-meal-01-r5ov8-1200.webp) The weather seems to be getting chilly lately. This time, I visited Italy Shabu Kalguksu Sejong Eojin Branch, located near the Government Complex in Eojin-dong, Sejong. ## Location and visitor information for Italy Shabu Kalguksu near Sejong Government Complex Since it is close to the Sejong Government Complex, it seemed like a spot many nearby office workers would visit at lunchtime. ![Building housing Italy Shabu Kalguksu near Sejong Government Complex](https://img.superchart.com/images/sejong-shabu-kalguksu-course-meal/sejong-shabu-kalguksu-course-meal-02-1id7r-900.webp) ![Location guide for Italy Shabu Kalguksu in Taehan Press Center](https://img.superchart.com/images/sejong-shabu-kalguksu-course-meal/sejong-shabu-kalguksu-course-meal-03-1e2z9-900.webp) The restaurant is on the third floor, and if you drive, you can use the building parking lot. The underground parking area looked fairly spacious, so it seemed easy to park! ![Route inside the building to Italy Shabu Kalguksu](https://img.superchart.com/images/sejong-shabu-kalguksu-course-meal/sejong-shabu-kalguksu-course-meal-04-6w9fj-900.webp) ![Entrance to Italy Shabu Kalguksu on the third floor](https://img.superchart.com/images/sejong-shabu-kalguksu-course-meal/sejong-shabu-kalguksu-course-meal-05-irjt0-900.webp) Once inside the building, simply take the elevator up and you will find it right away. At first, seeing only the name, I wondered why it was called Italy when it was not an Italian restaurant, but apparently it was named after the owner’s daughter, haha. ![Interior of Italy Shabu Kalguksu Sejong Eojin Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/sejong-shabu-kalguksu-course-meal/sejong-shabu-kalguksu-course-meal-06-ehmeh-900.webp) ![Neat dining area at Italy Shabu Kalguksu](https://img.superchart.com/images/sejong-shabu-kalguksu-course-meal/sejong-shabu-kalguksu-course-meal-07-hh6q6-900.webp) ## A comfortable dining space with private rooms The interior was neat and had a comfortable atmosphere for a meal. There are private rooms too, so it seems like a good place for group company dinners or get-togethers. ![Private-room seating at Italy Shabu Kalguksu](https://img.superchart.com/images/sejong-shabu-kalguksu-course-meal/sejong-shabu-kalguksu-course-meal-08-1g48y-900.webp) ![Table seating at Italy Shabu Kalguksu](https://img.superchart.com/images/sejong-shabu-kalguksu-course-meal/sejong-shabu-kalguksu-course-meal-09-58a8u-900.webp) The tableware was also neatly arranged on the tables, so it felt well managed hygienically. Shabu-shabu is not exactly a quick meal, but it was nice to sit down without feeling rushed and eat slowly. It would work well for a company lunch or a family meal out! ![Guide to the shabu kalguksu course](https://img.superchart.com/images/sejong-shabu-kalguksu-course-meal/sejong-shabu-kalguksu-course-meal-10-1s5hn-900.webp) ## Six-part shabu kalguksu, all the way to noodles and juk The biggest feature of Italy Shabu Kalguksu is that when you order one shabu-shabu set, you can enjoy a whole meal course without adding this and that separately. Start with meat and vegetables, have dumplings and ongsimi (potato dough balls) along the way, boil the kalguksu (knife-cut noodles), and finish with juk (rice porridge)! At first, I thought ₩13,800 would be a light meal, but things just kept coming as we went on, hahaha. I was truly stuffed!! I ordered the Italy six-part shabu kalguksu, ₩13,800. ![Italy six-part shabu kalguksu order](https://img.superchart.com/images/sejong-shabu-kalguksu-course-meal/sejong-shabu-kalguksu-course-meal-11-1k4nu-900.webp) For the broth, I chose the classic spicy option. The set includes beef neck, vegetables and mushrooms, handmade dumplings, and ongsimi. We ordered for two, and the pot was completely full~. ![Two-person spicy-broth shabu kalguksu set](https://img.superchart.com/images/sejong-shabu-kalguksu-course-meal/sejong-shabu-kalguksu-course-meal-12-7uk6c-900.webp) Kalguksu and juk too! There was more than enough without adding any side dishes. ![Shabu kalguksu with noodles and juk](https://img.superchart.com/images/sejong-shabu-kalguksu-course-meal/sejong-shabu-kalguksu-course-meal-13-1gt3y-900.webp) The side dishes were salad, macaroni, and kimchi. Delicious kimchi alone is enough with kalguksu, but having a simple salad too made it even better. ## Spicy broth and fresh geotjeori kimchi made daily Clear broth is delicious with kalguksu too, of course, but nothing beats cooking it well in spicy broth... 👍 The more the meat and vegetables cooked, the richer the broth became, so it was especially delicious once the kalguksu went in. Cook it with the five-minute hourglass timer and it is just right. ![Kalguksu cooking in spicy broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/sejong-shabu-kalguksu-course-meal/sejong-shabu-kalguksu-course-meal-14-yevto-900.webp) And the thing I remembered most here was the kimchi. It was seriously delicious, so I kept reaching for it. I later learned that it is geotjeori (fresh kimchi) made in-house every morning—of course it was...!! ![Fresh geotjeori kimchi reportedly made daily](https://img.superchart.com/images/sejong-shabu-kalguksu-course-meal/sejong-shabu-kalguksu-course-meal-15-1ymsw-900.webp) You can get refills at the salad bar, so feel free to bring back as much as you want without worrying about it. 👍 ![Salad-bar refills and final fried rice](https://img.superchart.com/images/sejong-shabu-kalguksu-course-meal/sejong-shabu-kalguksu-course-meal-16-1cxhz-900.webp) I did not skip the final course of fried rice—I ate it properly too. I had the spicy broth, and its pleasantly spicy flavor kept me from getting tired of it right through to the end. Together with the reportedly daily-made kimchi, I was very satisfied. If you are looking for a hot, hearty meal around Eojin-dong or the Sejong Government Complex, give it a visit ერთხელ :) ## Where it is - Italy Shabu Kalguksu Sejong Eojin Branch (이태리샤브칼국수 세종어진점) - 172 Jeoljae-ro, Taehan Press Center, 3F Room 302, Sejong, South Korea (세종특별자치시 절재로 172 태한프레스센터 3층 302호) - 세종특별자치시 절재로 172 태한프레스센터 3층 302호 - 36.5080929, 127.2602076 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%9D%B4%ED%83%9C%EB%A6%AC%EC%83%A4%EB%B8%8C%EC%B9%BC%EA%B5%AD%EC%88%98%20%EC%84%B8%EC%A2%85%EC%96%B4%EC%A7%84%EC%A0%90/@36.5080929,127.2602076,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@sejong-banchan-table/sejong-shabu-kalguksu-course-meal/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
