This visit paired katsuo and mala broths and worked through the cypress steam, rice-paper rolls, kalguksu (knife-cut noodles) and porridge, with two full bowls each of rolls dipped in sweet chili sauce and porridge simmered in the katsuo broth. The mala sauce is added to taste, so Pyeonbaek Hoegwan works even for diners who cannot handle much heat. ## Good to know - **Name**: Pyeonbaek Hoegwan Main Branch - **Address**: Units 202 & 203, 8-11 Haneulbyeolbit-ro 65beon-gil, Yeongjong-gu, Incheon - **Hours**: Daily 11:00-22:00 - **Parking**: Basement lot, free with registration - **What's included**: Cypress steam + all-you-can-eat shabu-shabu with 2 broths + kalguksu + porridge - **Broth options**: Katsuo, mala, beef bone tomato, doenjang chicken - **Ordered this visit**: Katsuo + mala combo - **Cypress steam**: 9-minute timer from ordering; staff open the lid - **With children**: Separate playroom, baby chairs, playroom CCTV shown on the dining room TV *as written by the visitor on Sep 24, 2026* Hello hello everyone 😆 Chuseok is just around the corner. With the cool breeze picking up, I was craving hot shabu-shabu, so I went to Pyeonbaek Hoegwan, a well-known shabu-shabu spot on Yeongjong Island! ![Medicinal herbs on display at the entrance of Pyeonbaek Hoegwan Main Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeongjongdo-shabu-sweetchili-ssam-porridge/yeongjongdo-shabu-sweetchili-ssam-porridge-01-rq5mf-900.webp) Right at the entrance there was a whole display of medicinal herbs! No wonder the cypress steam smelled so fragrant — it's because of these ingredients haha. ## Pyeonbaek Hoegwan Main Branch: location, hours and parking Pyeonbaek Hoegwan Main Branch is at 8-11 Haneulbyeolbit-ro 65beon-gil, Units 202 & 203, Yeongjong-gu, Incheon, and it's open daily from 11:00 to 22:00.

It's one of the few places on Yeongjong Island where you can get cypress steam + all-you-can-eat 2-broth shabu-shabu + kalguksu + porridge all in one meal 😆 ![Seating and interior of the main hall at Pyeonbaek Hoegwan Main Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeongjongdo-shabu-sweetchili-ssam-porridge/yeongjongdo-shabu-sweetchili-ssam-porridge-04-vi0ew-900.webp) ## Can you bring kids? Inside the playroom and CCTV setup One thing that would put parents at ease at Pyeonbaek Hoegwan Main Branch is that there's a separate playroom haha. There are baby chairs too, so it seems like a great place to bring young kids. In the middle of the restaurant there's a TV showing CCTV footage from the playroom, so you can keep an eye on the kids while eating haha. ![Kids' playroom at Pyeonbaek Hoegwan Main Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeongjongdo-shabu-sweetchili-ssam-porridge/yeongjongdo-shabu-sweetchili-ssam-porridge-05-pg7va-900.webp) ![TV screen in the middle of the restaurant showing the playroom CCTV feed](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeongjongdo-shabu-sweetchili-ssam-porridge/yeongjongdo-shabu-sweetchili-ssam-porridge-06-44nk2-m-900.webp) ![Restaurant interior with a baby chair at Pyeonbaek Hoegwan Main Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeongjongdo-shabu-sweetchili-ssam-porridge/yeongjongdo-shabu-sweetchili-ssam-porridge-07-1mh2u-m-900.webp) ![Table setting at Pyeonbaek Hoegwan Main Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeongjongdo-shabu-sweetchili-ssam-porridge/yeongjongdo-shabu-sweetchili-ssam-porridge-08-1y5e8-900.webp) ![Hallway and seating area at Pyeonbaek Hoegwan Main Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeongjongdo-shabu-sweetchili-ssam-porridge/yeongjongdo-shabu-sweetchili-ssam-porridge-09-fevko-900.webp) ![Interior decor at Pyeonbaek Hoegwan Main Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeongjongdo-shabu-sweetchili-ssam-porridge/yeongjongdo-shabu-sweetchili-ssam-porridge-10-1e16h-900.webp) ## Which broths to pick: the katsuo and mala combo Here's the menu! Pyeonbaek Hoegwan offers katsuo, mala, beef bone tomato, and doenjang chicken broths, and we went with the katsuo + mala combo! There were also plenty of drinks, alcohol, and even Pororo juice for kids haha. Bottom line: our combo was a total win! ![Menu board showing broth options at Pyeonbaek Hoegwan](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeongjongdo-shabu-sweetchili-ssam-porridge/yeongjongdo-shabu-sweetchili-ssam-porridge-11-12wvm-900.webp) ![Shabu-shabu broth selection menu](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeongjongdo-shabu-sweetchili-ssam-porridge/yeongjongdo-shabu-sweetchili-ssam-porridge-12-1s6c3-900.webp) ![Drinks and alcohol menu at Pyeonbaek Hoegwan](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeongjongdo-shabu-sweetchili-ssam-porridge/yeongjongdo-shabu-sweetchili-ssam-porridge-13-oyqe8-m-900.webp) ![Self-serve porridge ingredients and rice corner](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeongjongdo-shabu-sweetchili-ssam-porridge/yeongjongdo-shabu-sweetchili-ssam-porridge-14-1w5ho-900.webp) ![Self-serve bread, strawberry jam, and cream soup corner](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeongjongdo-shabu-sweetchili-ssam-porridge/yeongjongdo-shabu-sweetchili-ssam-porridge-15-1kh8l-900.webp) ![Self-serve tteokbokki and spaghetti](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeongjongdo-shabu-sweetchili-ssam-porridge/yeongjongdo-shabu-sweetchili-ssam-porridge-16-dpj45-900.webp) ![Self-serve corn salad and fries](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeongjongdo-shabu-sweetchili-ssam-porridge/yeongjongdo-shabu-sweetchili-ssam-porridge-17-1cly8-900.webp) ![Shabu-shabu vegetable corner](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeongjongdo-shabu-sweetchili-ssam-porridge/yeongjongdo-shabu-sweetchili-ssam-porridge-18-1mogv-m-900.webp) ![Six kinds of rice-paper roll vegetables](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeongjongdo-shabu-sweetchili-ssam-porridge/yeongjongdo-shabu-sweetchili-ssam-porridge-19-1ugc5-900.webp) ![All-you-can-eat shabu beef corner, two kinds](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeongjongdo-shabu-sweetchili-ssam-porridge/yeongjongdo-shabu-sweetchili-ssam-porridge-20-16k26-900.webp) ## What's on the self-serve bar The basic self-serve items at Pyeonbaek Hoegwan Main Branch included porridge ingredients, bread with strawberry jam, cream soup, tteokbokki (spicy rice cakes), spaghetti, corn salad, fries, shabu-shabu vegetables and rice-paper roll vegetables, and two kinds of shabu beef! I love cream soup so I scooped up a ton of it and was already pretty full 🤭 ![A plate of cream soup and sides from the self-serve bar](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeongjongdo-shabu-sweetchili-ssam-porridge/yeongjongdo-shabu-sweetchili-ssam-porridge-21-cf9xb-900.webp) ## Cypress steam takes 9 minutes, and staff open the lid Once you order, the cypress steam comes out in a cypress-wood frame, timed for 9 minutes. The cypress fragrance drifting up got me so excited haha. While waiting, we grabbed a few things from the buffet to fill up haha. ![Cypress steam served in a cypress-wood frame with a 9-minute timer](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeongjongdo-shabu-sweetchili-ssam-porridge/yeongjongdo-shabu-sweetchili-ssam-porridge-22-13271-900.webp) After 9 minutes, when the timer goes off, a staff member comes over and opens the lid for you. The difference between the cypress steam ingredients and the all-you-can-eat shabu-shabu ingredients seems to be the shrimp, sweet pumpkin, and dumplings! Everything else you can go get as much as you want! And since it's steamed in the cypress-wood frame, the fragrance kept me in a good mood the whole time I was eating. The meat was tender and savory too — impressively good quality for an all-you-can-eat place haha. ### Rice-paper rolls dipped in sweet chili sauce At the rice-paper roll ingredient corner, I grabbed six kinds of fillings, rolled one up, and dipped it in my favorite of the three sauces — sweet chili. Absolutely delicious 🥹🥹 ![Rice-paper roll dipped in sweet chili sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeongjongdo-shabu-sweetchili-ssam-porridge/yeongjongdo-shabu-sweetchili-ssam-porridge-23-tb14r-1200.webp) ## Adjusting the mala heat and finishing with katsuo porridge After finishing the cypress steam, we got our shabu-shabu broth. The mala broth was served as beef bone broth plus mala sauce added separately — even with just about half the sauce, it was quite spicy and delicious haha. So if you're spice-shy like us but craving mala, you can adjust the sauce amount and order without worry 😊 The broth was so good I kept sipping it little by little haha. ![Two shabu-shabu broth pots, katsuo and mala](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeongjongdo-shabu-sweetchili-ssam-porridge/yeongjongdo-shabu-sweetchili-ssam-porridge-24-16z33-900.webp) Both the katsuo and mala broths were amazing! After finishing the shabu-shabu, we made porridge with the katsuo broth, adding rice, egg, seaweed flakes, and sesame oil — it was seriously so good! We had one bowl and then had another lol. ## Who this Yeongjong shabu-shabu restaurant suits I think I overate to the point of a blood sugar spike haha. If you're looking for a good shabu-shabu spot in Yeongjong's Haneul City, I recommend Pyeonbaek Hoegwan Main Branch. It's open every day with generous hours, so it's easy to visit anytime. I overate, but since it was a healthy meal, I feel good about it 🤭 ## Where it is - Pyeonbaek Hoegwan Main Branch (편백회관 본점) - 8-11 Haneulbyeolbit-ro 65beon-gil, Units 202 & 203, Yeongjong-gu, Incheon, South Korea - 인천광역시 영종구 하늘별빛로65번길 8-11 202호, 203호 - 37.4894958, 126.5625384 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%ED%8E%B8%EB%B0%B1%ED%9A%8C%EA%B4%80%20%EB%B3%B8%EC%A0%90/@37.4894958,126.5625384,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@songdo-noon-tab/yeongjongdo-shabu-sweetchili-ssam-porridge/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
