We visited for lunch, so we looked at the lunch menu! It's organized into the basic course, premium shabu-shabu, and cypress-steamed dishes, plus add-ons like baby octopus, live octopus, marinated prawns, and tataki. We ordered Shabu-Shabu Course A (basic + meal + dessert), brisket + sirloin, ₩27,000, for two, and for the meal course we picked gyudon and mentaiju! There's also a good range of sake and other drinks to go with the meal. ![Hana Shabu Shabu lunch menu board](https://img.superchart.com/images/hana-shabu-junggye-course-a-lunch/hana-shabu-junggye-course-a-lunch-09-1u8dl-966.webp) ![Menu board listing sake and other drinks](https://img.superchart.com/images/hana-shabu-junggye-course-a-lunch/hana-shabu-junggye-course-a-lunch-10-ijyve-966.webp) ## The plating and the broth made without seasoning This owner really puts their heart into the food — I've never seen a shabu-shabu place plate things this beautifully before! It's neat and pretty, so it's nice to look at and even better to eat, haha. There's a wide variety of mushrooms and vegetables. You can tell from the photos alone that they use good ingredients, right? ![Plate of mushrooms and vegetables for shabu-shabu](https://img.superchart.com/images/hana-shabu-junggye-course-a-lunch/hana-shabu-junggye-course-a-lunch-11-1rvba-966.webp) ![Neatly arranged shabu-shabu vegetable plating](https://img.superchart.com/images/hana-shabu-junggye-course-a-lunch/hana-shabu-junggye-course-a-lunch-12-1g3en-966.webp) ![Shabu-shabu broth pot simmering without seasoning](https://img.superchart.com/images/hana-shabu-junggye-course-a-lunch/hana-shabu-junggye-course-a-lunch-13-1wf8s-966.webp) I was surprised to hear from the owner that they don't use any seasoning at all. To think you can get such deep flavor without any seasoning..!! That's apparently why so many pregnant customers come here! As someone trying to eat clean (a fellow dieter, if you will), I loved being able to eat something healthy and clean too >.< ![Black Angus beef plated like a blooming flower](https://img.superchart.com/images/hana-shabu-junggye-course-a-lunch/hana-shabu-junggye-course-a-lunch-14-1lzoc-966.webp) ![Brisket and sirloin cuts plated together](https://img.superchart.com/images/hana-shabu-junggye-course-a-lunch/hana-shabu-junggye-course-a-lunch-15-3vks5-966.webp) ## Black Angus brisket and sirloin: how the two cuts taste Plated so neatly it looks like a flower blooming on the plate! They use black Angus, and you can tell just from the color alone, hehe. When you actually eat it, it's soft, light, and clean-tasting! ![Vegetables being cooked in the broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/hana-shabu-junggye-course-a-lunch/hana-shabu-junggye-course-a-lunch-16-14t8i-966.webp) Best of all, there's such a wide variety of vegetables that it's fun just picking through them! And since every single item on the menu is healthy, Hana Shabu Shabu is a great pick in Junggye-dong, Nowon, to bring your parents to as well. ![Dipping beef into the shabu-shabu pot](https://img.superchart.com/images/hana-shabu-junggye-course-a-lunch/hana-shabu-junggye-course-a-lunch-17-hmie5-966.webp) ![Plate of cooked beef and vegetables taken from the pot](https://img.superchart.com/images/hana-shabu-junggye-course-a-lunch/hana-shabu-junggye-course-a-lunch-18-f7upz-966.webp) Also, since the beef comes in two different cuts, you get to enjoy a rich variety. ![Three sauces: yuzu ponzu, chili, and sesame](https://img.superchart.com/images/hana-shabu-junggye-course-a-lunch/hana-shabu-junggye-course-a-lunch-19-t9q81-966.webp) ### The three dipping sauces There are also three types of sauce: yuzu ponzu, chili, and sesame. Alternate between all three and they disappear in no time... hehe. ## The complimentary tataki ![Complimentary tataki grilled over open flame](https://img.superchart.com/images/hana-shabu-junggye-course-a-lunch/hana-shabu-junggye-course-a-lunch-20-1jzj8-966.webp) This is the tataki they gave us to try, on the house. It seemed even tastier because they grilled it directly over open flame... hehe. The beef was so soft that it just melted the moment it hit my mouth. On top of that, the savory sauce and smoky char flavor came through and honestly deserved applause!! I'm definitely ordering the tataki menu next time I come!!!!! Six stars, no cap. ![Udon noodles added to the enriched broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/hana-shabu-junggye-course-a-lunch/hana-shabu-junggye-course-a-lunch-21-16hgz-966.webp) ## Udon noodles and the meal course: mentaiju and gyudon We threw in the soft udon noodles once the broth had turned even richer from all the beef. The broth soaks right in, making it so savory and delicious! It's magic udon — you keep picking up your chopsticks even when you're already full. ![Mentaiju pollack roe rice bowl included in Course A](https://img.superchart.com/images/hana-shabu-junggye-course-a-lunch/hana-shabu-junggye-course-a-lunch-22-10u53-966.webp) ![A bowl of gyudon topped with beef](https://img.superchart.com/images/hana-shabu-junggye-course-a-lunch/hana-shabu-junggye-course-a-lunch-23-6khbu-966.webp) These are the meal-course dishes included in Course A. Mentaiju (pollack roe rice bowl) and gyudon topped with beef! After all that light, clean shabu-shabu, digging into a salty mentaiju and gyudon somehow still made room in my stomach even though I was already full!? My boyfriend and I don't usually eat that much, but at a place like Hana Shabu Shabu near Junggye Station in Nowon, with shabu-shabu, udon, the meal course, and dessert all coming out one after another, it just kept going in even when we were full, haha. And because it's so light and clean, nothing felt heavy, so we could enjoy it deliciously right to the very end. ![House-made ube pudding dessert](https://img.superchart.com/images/hana-shabu-junggye-course-a-lunch/hana-shabu-junggye-course-a-lunch-24-vje5i-966.webp) ## Ube pudding for dessert, and the verdict And then dessert — ube pudding! They make the pudding in-house too. Apparently ube is a trendy, healthy ingredient these days, so they turned it into a pudding. The pudding's bouncy yet soft texture paired well with the nutty flavor of the ube, so we finished off even dessert happily! When shabu-shabu is calling in Junggye-dong, Nowon, it's Hana Shabu Shabu. Above all, the owner was so kind that we had a genuinely great food date, haha. Next time I'm going to try the cypress-steamed dish with tataki!! If you're looking for a healthy, clean, and filling meal, I'd definitely recommend this place. ## Where it is - Hana Shabu Shabu Junggye Main Branch (하나샤브샤브 중계본점) - 29 Dongil-ro203ga-gil, Nowon-gu, Seoul, South Korea (Brownstone Junggye, Unit 101) - 서울특별시 노원구 동일로203가길 29 브라운스톤중계 101호 - 37.6404083, 127.0643298 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%ED%95%98%EB%82%98%EC%83%A4%EB%B8%8C%EC%83%A4%EB%B8%8C%20%EC%A4%91%EA%B3%84%EB%B3%B8%EC%A0%90/@37.6404083,127.0643298,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@side-street-cup/hana-shabu-junggye-course-a-lunch/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
