## In short

Daonjeong Shabu Son Kalguksu is a shabu-shabu and hand-cut noodle restaurant in Wirye, Seongnam, Gyeonggi. Ordering the Wando kelp shabu with spicy broth for a weekend lunch, the writer got a full Korean-style spread: seasoned rice, scallops, maesaengi (green laver) pancake, house-made green kelp noodles, and a pollack roe porridge to finish, all for a top price of just ₩16,000 per person. A hidden gem where the portions feel almost too generous for the price.

Hi, it's Sudal, your travel food blogger :D Today: Daonjeong Shabu Son Kalguksu, a shabu-shabu restaurant in Wirye!

- Hours: Daily 11:00–21:00
- Location: 2nd floor, Building A, Wirye Woosung Tram Tower
- Parking: Free for 2 hours in the underground lot
- Groups OK, no pets, baby chairs available, microwave available

Craving minari (water celery) shabu-shabu on a weekend, I drove 20 minutes from Helio City to reach Daonjeong Shabu Son Kalguksu in Wirye! When you go on enough food-hunting trips, sometimes you find a place so generous with portions that you start worrying about the owner's margins. Daonjeong was exactly that kind of place.

I walked in expecting an ordinary shabu-shabu spot, but out came an elevated Korean-style table setting — an incredible value find in Wirye. Not a chain — the owner personally developed every dish using domestic ingredients. If you're picky about ingredients, this is a must-visit spot in Wirye, even with kids. Here's my weekend lunch review of Daonjeong Shabu Son Kalguksu 🐾

## Getting to Daonjeong Shabu Son Kalguksu in Wirye and parking

![Entrance to Daonjeong Shabu Son Kalguksu on the 2nd floor of Woosung Tram Tower Building A](https://img.superchart.com/images/wirye-shabu-kalguksu-scallop-set-daonjeong/wirye-shabu-kalguksu-scallop-set-daonjeong-02-152tg-966.webp)

The underground parking lot is free for up to 2 hours, so you can take your time with the meal without worrying about the clock. Even a parking novice like me had zero stress — the lot is wide and comfortable. Take the elevator in Building A up to the 2nd floor and Daonjeong Shabu Kalguksu is right there.

## Inside the restaurant — is it okay to bring kids?

![Interior of the restaurant with tables for four](https://img.superchart.com/images/wirye-shabu-kalguksu-scallop-set-daonjeong/wirye-shabu-kalguksu-scallop-set-daonjeong-03-1r183-966.webp)

My husband and I visited for weekend lunch! The interior has about 10 tables for four, generously spaced and clean — great for family gatherings or group visits. (The wide gaps between tables also make it easy to fit a stroller!)

![View of the dining hall with wide spacing between tables](https://img.superchart.com/images/wirye-shabu-kalguksu-scallop-set-daonjeong/wirye-shabu-kalguksu-scallop-set-daonjeong-04-1rzqz-966.webp)

I call it a hidden gem in Wirye because the sign isn't visible from Wirye Central Plaza — it's tucked behind. But judging by how busy the delivery orders were as soon as they opened, it seems like locals in the know are well aware of this shabu-shabu spot haha.

![Self-serve bar with iced tea and plum tea](https://img.superchart.com/images/wirye-shabu-kalguksu-scallop-set-daonjeong/wirye-shabu-kalguksu-scallop-set-daonjeong-05-ig26p-966.webp)

![Puffed rice snacks at the self-serve bar](https://img.superchart.com/images/wirye-shabu-kalguksu-scallop-set-daonjeong/wirye-shabu-kalguksu-scallop-set-daonjeong-06-15af9-966.webp)

The menu prices at Daonjeong, Wirye's best-value spot, are already generous, but the self-serve bar has iced tea, plum tea, and sweet puffed rice snacks too — you almost don't need to hit a café afterward 👍

![Baby chair and microwave available at the restaurant](https://img.superchart.com/images/wirye-shabu-kalguksu-scallop-set-daonjeong/wirye-shabu-kalguksu-scallop-set-daonjeong-07-1ppt8-966.webp)

And there's a baby chair plus a microwave ready to go 👍 (nice touch from the owner!!) A great shabu-shabu spot in Wirye to bring kids along.

## Menu, prices, and the difference between shabu types

![Daonjeong Shabu Son Kalguksu menu board](https://img.superchart.com/images/wirye-shabu-kalguksu-scallop-set-daonjeong/wirye-shabu-kalguksu-scallop-set-daonjeong-08-sazzw-966.webp)

![Menu board listing shabu-shabu set prices](https://img.superchart.com/images/wirye-shabu-kalguksu-scallop-set-daonjeong/wirye-shabu-kalguksu-scallop-set-daonjeong-09-1y3m3-966.webp)

Another thing that made the meal feel great: the owner is genuinely kind. Before taking our order, she came over and explained each dish one by one, which made choosing easy.

![Sign explaining Wando kelp shabu and Onjeong shabu](https://img.superchart.com/images/wirye-shabu-kalguksu-scallop-set-daonjeong/wirye-shabu-kalguksu-scallop-set-daonjeong-10-7lf8y-966.webp)

There are two shabu types: Wando kelp shabu and Onjeong shabu. Wando kelp shabu has bean sprouts, oyster mushroom, and minari for a refreshing, clean style, while Onjeong shabu has more varieties of mushroom plus bok choy and fish cake. The broth's base is made with hwangchil tree extract from South Jeolla Province, so it's supposedly good for you too. A lot of places just use store-bought broth these days, but here every single element, down to the broth, is made with care — genuinely moving ❤️

## Wando Maesaengi Pancake Set with assorted scallops, 2 servings

We chose Wando kelp shabu with spicy broth, and since we wanted a more filling meal, we ordered the pancake-style set that comes with scallop toppings, maesaengi pancake, and a seaweed salad.

![Full table spread of the Wando maesaengi pancake set with assorted scallops for two](https://img.superchart.com/images/wirye-shabu-kalguksu-scallop-set-daonjeong/wirye-shabu-kalguksu-scallop-set-daonjeong-11-boub1-966.webp)

![Plate of shabu-shabu vegetables and beef](https://img.superchart.com/images/wirye-shabu-kalguksu-scallop-set-daonjeong/wirye-shabu-kalguksu-scallop-set-daonjeong-12-99huh-966.webp)

This is the Wando Maesaengi Pancake Set with assorted scallops for two — is this even legal? ^^ Even the ₩10,000 menu at Daonjeong comes with noodles, meat, and rice.

On top of that you can add boiled pork or maesaengi pancake (minari pancake) and seaweed salad, and even so, the priciest item is only ₩16,000 per person — I felt guilty eating it, honestly. (Confirmed treasure of a restaurant in Wirye!!)

![Pre-meal seasoned rice and house-made soy sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/wirye-shabu-kalguksu-scallop-set-daonjeong/wirye-shabu-kalguksu-scallop-set-daonjeong-13-1am8b-966.webp)

First, before the meal, you mix seasoned rice with a house-made soy sauce — is this really a shabu-shabu place? It felt like a proper Korean table spread.

### First spoonful of the spicy broth

![Pot of spicy broth shabu-shabu bubbling on the stove](https://img.superchart.com/images/wirye-shabu-kalguksu-scallop-set-daonjeong/wirye-shabu-kalguksu-scallop-set-daonjeong-14-wamic-966.webp)

You can choose from 6 broth types: clear, spicy, doenjang, perilla seed, banga, and spicy banga. I love Deungchon-style shabu, so I ordered the spicy broth, and it tasted exactly like Deungchon shabu kalguksu — but a much more refined version!

The moment the broth hit our mouths, my husband and I both gasped at the same time!

Loaded with bean sprouts, oyster mushrooms, and fresh minari, it was so clean and refreshing — total hangover-curing, grown-up flavor!! I think Wando kelp shabu is better for adults dining together, while Onjeong shabu might suit families with kids more.

The beef was lean with almost no fat, but still tender and fresh, not chewy at all.

So tender!!

### House-made kelp soy sauce and the scallops

![Small dish of house-made kelp soy sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/wirye-shabu-kalguksu-scallop-set-daonjeong/wirye-shabu-kalguksu-scallop-set-daonjeong-15-1l15n-966.webp)

What really elevated the flavor was this house-made kelp soy sauce. The restaurant recommends mixing it with wasabi and sesame oil, and my husband liked it that way — but for me, the soy sauce itself was so clean and refreshing that I didn't feel the need to mix in anything else.

![Assorted shabu-shabu dipping sauces including chili and peanut sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/wirye-shabu-kalguksu-scallop-set-daonjeong/wirye-shabu-kalguksu-scallop-set-daonjeong-16-huofx-966.webp)

There's also chili sauce and peanut sauce to suit different tastes, so you can go from clean and refreshing to sweet-spicy to nutty — fun to mix and match dip by dip.

And the real MVP: these scallops!! Their texture was incredibly springy, and stayed that way even after long cooking — every bite released juice and pure happiness.

Plump and dense all the way through! Scallops are already a prized ingredient, and they're seriously delicious in shabu-shabu ❤️

![Springy scallops added to the shabu-shabu](https://img.superchart.com/images/wirye-shabu-kalguksu-scallop-set-daonjeong/wirye-shabu-kalguksu-scallop-set-daonjeong-17-1ul6e-966.webp)

### Maesaengi pancake and minari seaweed salad

Then, the maesaengi (green laver from South Jeolla Province) pancake, fried thin like a crepe, tasted like something out of a fine Korean course-meal restaurant — wrapping it with the seaweed salad made for an amazing bite.

![Thin maesaengi pancake made with South Jeolla-grown green laver](https://img.superchart.com/images/wirye-shabu-kalguksu-scallop-set-daonjeong/wirye-shabu-kalguksu-scallop-set-daonjeong-18-tzdih-966.webp)

![Seaweed salad wrapped with the maesaengi pancake](https://img.superchart.com/images/wirye-shabu-kalguksu-scallop-set-daonjeong/wirye-shabu-kalguksu-scallop-set-daonjeong-19-a98du-966.webp)

![Minari seaweed salad with wakame, tot, and gposiraegi](https://img.superchart.com/images/wirye-shabu-kalguksu-scallop-set-daonjeong/wirye-shabu-kalguksu-scallop-set-daonjeong-20-1tee2-966.webp)

The minari seaweed salad has wakame, tot (fusiform sargassum), and gposiraegi — my husband dumped in all the gochujang and it got a bit strong haha, half the amount would probably be plenty.

### House-made green kelp noodles

Even the noodles are made in-house, loaded with Wando kelp and reportedly kneaded a full 1,000 times to get their green color.

![House-made green kelp noodles](https://img.superchart.com/images/wirye-shabu-kalguksu-scallop-set-daonjeong/wirye-shabu-kalguksu-scallop-set-daonjeong-21-1axdo-966.webp)

The green color catches your eye right away, and the first bite delivers a chewy texture that you can tell took real effort!

![Green kelp noodles simmered in the broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/wirye-shabu-kalguksu-scallop-set-daonjeong/wirye-shabu-kalguksu-scallop-set-daonjeong-22-1tnkg-966.webp)

### Finishing with pollack roe and turmeric porridge

But it wasn't over yet! Even the porridge wasn't just plain porridge — it had turmeric, canola flower, blue barley, and pollack roe, and it tasted great with a nice texture too.

Canola flower and blue barley are ingredients I'd expect to find only on Gapado Island in Jeju — imagine tasting them in Wirye ❤️

![Finishing porridge with turmeric and pollack roe](https://img.superchart.com/images/wirye-shabu-kalguksu-scallop-set-daonjeong/wirye-shabu-kalguksu-scallop-set-daonjeong-23-1e1zo-966.webp)

When they cook the porridge, the pollack roe aroma really comes through and boosts the savory flavor — I don't think there's a Korean alive who wouldn't love this haha.

## Don't miss the receipt review event

![Fish cake topping received from the receipt review event](https://img.superchart.com/images/wirye-shabu-kalguksu-scallop-set-daonjeong/wirye-shabu-kalguksu-scallop-set-daonjeong-24-wauz4-966.webp)

Daonjeong Shabu Son Kalguksu in Wirye runs a Naver receipt review event and a KakaoTalk friend-add event. Write a Naver receipt review and you get to pick from four toppings (fish cake, rice cake, mandu, or extra noodles).

We chose 2 pieces of fish cake, and after simmering for a long time in the broth concentrated with all the ingredients' flavors, they tasted just like a separately sold spicy fish cake dish — a real treat!

And to top it all off, even dessert was covered! No need to hit a café afterward haha.

## Overall verdict

(This place gets a special double-best rating)

- ✔A shabu-shabu spread in Wirye made with premium domestic ingredients
- ✔Insanely good value for Wirye — enough to make you worry about the owner
- ✔A great lunch spot in Wirye to bring along kids

A hidden treasure in Wirye you'd be missing out on if you skip it — definitely worth a visit to Daonjeong Shabu Son Kalguksu!
