The 36,000 won Dowon Shabu was generous with meat, mung bean sprouts, and mushrooms, while the mild potato salad was a standout.

I visited this time through a review group, and just as my coworker said, the food was tasty and the bar atmosphere was lovely, so I was pretty happy with it :) There are seriously so many bars in Seolleung, and honestly, because there are too many, I tend to go mainly to places people who have been there or people around me recommend. Everyone kept praising the food here, so it was somewhere I really wanted to try! And with a bar, atmosphere is more than half of it, right? This place had a nice atmosphere, plus the food quality was good, so it was perfect for having a drink with something delicious. Once I went myself, I could see why my coworker recommended it haha. ![Seolleung Dowon store information](https://img.superchart.com/images/seolleung-dowon-quiet-shabu-bar/seolleung-dowon-quiet-shabu-bar-02-b7yej-900.webp) - 486 m from Exit 1 of Seolleung Station - Mon–Wed 17:00–24:00 / last order 23:30 - Thu–Sun 17:00–02:00 the next day / last order 01:30 - Parking: first 60 minutes free; ₩3,000 per additional 30 minutes; maximum ₩3,000 ![Second-floor entrance staircase at Seolleung Dowon](https://img.superchart.com/images/seolleung-dowon-quiet-shabu-bar/seolleung-dowon-quiet-shabu-bar-03-om9iv-900.webp) By the way, Seolleung Dowon (선릉도원), this Seolleung bar, is on the second floor of the building, and there was this huge staircase. But the stairs looked kind of intimidating;; They’re red and insanely massive... A little daunting, honestly... My friends and I were like, what is this? lol ![Arrival at Seolleung Dowon](https://img.superchart.com/images/seolleung-dowon-quiet-shabu-bar/seolleung-dowon-quiet-shabu-bar-04-1x44k-900.webp) Made it to Seolleung Dowon, the Seolleung bar! ![Interior seating at Seolleung Dowon](https://img.superchart.com/images/seolleung-dowon-quiet-shabu-bar/seolleung-dowon-quiet-shabu-bar-05-pigb3-900.webp) ![Spacious interior at Seolleung Dowon](https://img.superchart.com/images/seolleung-dowon-quiet-shabu-bar/seolleung-dowon-quiet-shabu-bar-06-kn0mf-900.webp) ![Interior table seating at Seolleung Dowon](https://img.superchart.com/images/seolleung-dowon-quiet-shabu-bar/seolleung-dowon-quiet-shabu-bar-07-1rtpc-900.webp) ## A quiet interior that was great for conversation The interior was spacious like this, with plenty of space between tables, so it was quiet, you know? Such a good bar for conversation... Other bars are really loud and packed, right? But Seolleung Dowon was nice because it was quiet. ![Outerwear hangers at Seolleung Dowon](https://img.superchart.com/images/seolleung-dowon-quiet-shabu-bar/seolleung-dowon-quiet-shabu-bar-08-j62jz-900.webp) They also have hangers where you can hang up your outerwear. ## Seolleung Dowon menu and our order > Seolleung Dowon menu ![First page of the Seolleung Dowon menu](https://img.superchart.com/images/seolleung-dowon-quiet-shabu-bar/seolleung-dowon-quiet-shabu-bar-09-1gp4k-900.webp) ![Detailed page of the Seolleung Dowon menu](https://img.superchart.com/images/seolleung-dowon-quiet-shabu-bar/seolleung-dowon-quiet-shabu-bar-10-136ex-900.webp) ![Full Seolleung Dowon menu selection](https://img.superchart.com/images/seolleung-dowon-quiet-shabu-bar/seolleung-dowon-quiet-shabu-bar-11-qwogt-900.webp) Here’s the menu at Seolleung Dowon, the Seolleung bar :) There really were so many options! But we’d eaten so much at our first stop that we had no appetite left... So the menu we agreed on was Dowon Shabu. It seemed to be their signature dish, you know? Next time, I’m going to try a wider range of dishes too... - Dowon Shabu ₩36,000 - 2 Zero Colas ₩6,000 ![Complimentary potato salad at Seolleung Dowon](https://img.superchart.com/images/seolleung-dowon-quiet-shabu-bar/seolleung-dowon-quiet-shabu-bar-12-1j9dk-900.webp) ## Generous Dowon Shabu and complimentary snacks The potato salad they gave us as a complimentary snack! It wasn’t overly sweet and had a clean, mild flavor, which I loved. I found myself scooping it up without even realizing it... ^^ My friends also raved about how mild and delicious it was. Such thoughtful complimentary snacks~ ![Mild potato salad served as a complimentary snack](https://img.superchart.com/images/seolleung-dowon-quiet-shabu-bar/seolleung-dowon-quiet-shabu-bar-13-lmvuw-900.webp) And Zero Cola~ We did drink alcohol at the first place, but these days my friend says they don’t drink... And I don’t like alcohol either because it tastes bad. Zero Cola really is the best, I think. ![Zero Cola order at Seolleung Dowon](https://img.superchart.com/images/seolleung-dowon-quiet-shabu-bar/seolleung-dowon-quiet-shabu-bar-14-10yem-900.webp) Dowon Shabu was plentiful, and the presentation was seriously amazing. It looked pretty and there was so much of it too... Packed with meat. ![Generous Dowon Shabu with meat and vegetables](https://img.superchart.com/images/seolleung-dowon-quiet-shabu-bar/seolleung-dowon-quiet-shabu-bar-15-crwhm-900.webp) ![Meat and ingredients in Dowon Shabu](https://img.superchart.com/images/seolleung-dowon-quiet-shabu-bar/seolleung-dowon-quiet-shabu-bar-16-1julp-900.webp) ![A generous spread of Dowon Shabu](https://img.superchart.com/images/seolleung-dowon-quiet-shabu-bar/seolleung-dowon-quiet-shabu-bar-17-7q89c-900.webp) It had loads of different vegetables inside too, including mung bean sprouts and mushrooms, and it was really generous, you know? Honestly, if I hadn’t already been full, I would’ve ordered rice too... ^^ ![Mung bean sprouts and mushrooms in Dowon Shabu](https://img.superchart.com/images/seolleung-dowon-quiet-shabu-bar/seolleung-dowon-quiet-shabu-bar-18-17ckt-900.webp) ![Generous mung bean sprouts in Dowon Shabu](https://img.superchart.com/images/seolleung-dowon-quiet-shabu-bar/seolleung-dowon-quiet-shabu-bar-19-c2is3-900.webp) ![Vegetables and meat in Dowon Shabu](https://img.superchart.com/images/seolleung-dowon-quiet-shabu-bar/seolleung-dowon-quiet-shabu-bar-20-187n2-900.webp) The mung bean sprouts were generous too, and there was really a lot... It seemed perfect as food to have with drinks... Easy to keep scooping up without thinking, but somehow like it wouldn’t make you gain weight, mung bean sprouts... ^^% ![Dowon Shabu served with mung bean sprouts](https://img.superchart.com/images/seolleung-dowon-quiet-shabu-bar/seolleung-dowon-quiet-shabu-bar-21-oayzp-900.webp) It was a bit like kongbul, spicy stir-fried pork with bean sprouts, but not spicy! It made me think of kongbul for the first time in a while and brought back old memories... The bean sprouts were plentiful, and with the meat, it was basically shabu-shabu. ![Dowon Shabu with meat and bean sprouts](https://img.superchart.com/images/seolleung-dowon-quiet-shabu-bar/seolleung-dowon-quiet-shabu-bar-22-idvzw-900.webp) It was even tastier dipped in the sauces. There were two sauces, and I preferred the chili sauce! ![Dipping sauces for Dowon Shabu](https://img.superchart.com/images/seolleung-dowon-quiet-shabu-bar/seolleung-dowon-quiet-shabu-bar-23-1rhl7-900.webp) ![Dipping Seolleung Dowon food in chili sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/seolleung-dowon-quiet-shabu-bar/seolleung-dowon-quiet-shabu-bar-24-lrbom-900.webp) ## A quiet Seolleung bar I want to revisit As I was leaving, I noticed they’d thoughtfully set out phone chargers, gargle, candies, and more in front of the register. I’d recommend Seolleung Dowon, this Seolleung bar, when you want a good atmosphere and a quiet conversation. The place was quiet, the tables were well spaced, and the seats were really comfortable, so it’s a bar I’d recommend when drinking in Seolleung. Haha!! If I have plans to drink in Seolleung again, it’s somewhere I’d like to revisit >< ## Where it is - Seolleung Dowon Seolleung Main Branch (선릉도원 선릉본점) (선릉도원 선릉본점) - Unit 2, 2F, 39 Samseong-ro 85-gil, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, South Korea (서울특별시 강남구 삼성로85길 39 2층 2호) - 서울특별시 강남구 삼성로85길 39 2층 2호 - 37.5042719, 127.0543233 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%84%A0%EB%A6%89%EB%8F%84%EC%9B%90%20%EC%84%A0%EB%A6%89%EB%B3%B8%EC%A0%90/@37.5042719,127.0543233,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@seoul-diner-crease/seolleung-dowon-quiet-shabu-bar/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
