Break time is from 3pm to 4:30pm. ⏰On weekends it's the same hours, 11am to 8:50pm, but there's no break time, so you can visit anytime on weekends. ![Business hours signage at Yun Ujae Shabu Kalguksu](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongcheon-dong-shabu-kalguksu-family-weekend/dongcheon-dong-shabu-kalguksu-family-weekend-02-1a7fj-900.webp) ## How does the weekend wait work? We visited on a weekend and, true to its reputation as a Dongcheon-dong hotspot, there was a wait. There was a separate customer waiting room where you could sit and wait!! You could even check the waiting status. ![Customer waiting room where you can check the wait status](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongcheon-dong-shabu-kalguksu-family-weekend/dongcheon-dong-shabu-kalguksu-family-weekend-03-al60f-900.webp) You register your wait through the CatchTable app at the entrance, fill out an order form, and submit it at the counter. ![CatchTable waiting sign-up and order form at the entrance](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongcheon-dong-shabu-kalguksu-family-weekend/dongcheon-dong-shabu-kalguksu-family-weekend-04-jh710-900.webp) Because orders go in quickly, the food comes out fast too!!!! It arrives almost as soon as you sit down~~ You have to order one menu per person, and choose between seafood broth and beef bone broth. You also have to choose spicy, medium, or mild~~ I liked that you can customize the taste and choices per person like this. ![Order form for choosing broth and spice level](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongcheon-dong-shabu-kalguksu-family-weekend/dongcheon-dong-shabu-kalguksu-family-weekend-05-s2lio-m-900.webp) ![View of the restaurant's dining hall tables](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongcheon-dong-shabu-kalguksu-family-weekend/dongcheon-dong-shabu-kalguksu-family-weekend-06-pdgdx-900.webp) ### Self-serve corner and pancake takeout containers There was a self-serve corner set up. It had fresh kimchi, diced radish kimchi, and extra broth. And there were takeout containers for the pancake too, so if you have leftover pajeon (savory pancake) you can pack it up.~~ ![Self-serve corner with fresh kimchi, diced radish kimchi, and extra broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongcheon-dong-shabu-kalguksu-family-weekend/dongcheon-dong-shabu-kalguksu-family-weekend-07-1leq1-900.webp) ## 48-hour hand-kneaded noodles, foot-kneading method This is a place that makes noodles using the traditional foot-kneading method. They knead the dough by foot, and it goes through a 48-hour, two-day process — noodles made with real care. ![Sign explaining the foot-kneading, hand-made noodle method](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongcheon-dong-shabu-kalguksu-family-weekend/dongcheon-dong-shabu-kalguksu-family-weekend-08-4gapt-900.webp) ## Menu and how to eat This is the menu board at Yun Ujae Shabu Kalguksu Gogidong Branch, where we went for a Dongcheon-dong, Gogidong family meal. For the shabu kalguksu, you can choose between white broth and red broth. ![Menu board at Yun Ujae Shabu Kalguksu Gogidong Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongcheon-dong-shabu-kalguksu-family-weekend/dongcheon-dong-shabu-kalguksu-family-weekend-09-1y2bm-900.webp) Each table has instructions on how to eat the kalguksu (knife-cut noodles). First, before the broth boils, you put in about half the meat so the broth gets a meaty flavor. Then once it's boiling, add more meat, vegetables, and the flat kalguksu noodles~~ Each table has soy sauce, a timer, rubber bands, and wasabi. ![Instructions for eating kalguksu and a timer on the table](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongcheon-dong-shabu-kalguksu-family-weekend/dongcheon-dong-shabu-kalguksu-family-weekend-10-1t4k5-1200.webp) ## What's in the ₩11,500 shabu kalguksu Shabu kalguksu is ₩11,500 per person, and it comes with sirloin, hand-made kalguksu noodles, vegetables, mushrooms, and fried rice!!! You can also choose flat kalguksu and regular kalguksu half and half, and we chose half flat noodles and half regular noodles!! ![Table setting with sirloin, vegetables, and half-and-half noodle choice](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongcheon-dong-shabu-kalguksu-family-weekend/dongcheon-dong-shabu-kalguksu-family-weekend-11-1gfj1-900.webp) We ordered shabu kalguksu for 3, ₩34,500, and crispy seafood pancake, ₩16,000. There's a lot of minari (water dropwort) in the broth so it's refreshing!!! We chose the red broth, and it wasn't spicy at all — just a mild, savory heat, so even people who can't handle spicy food can eat it easily. ![Red shabu broth full of minari](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongcheon-dong-shabu-kalguksu-family-weekend/dongcheon-dong-shabu-kalguksu-family-weekend-12-1bv8g-900.webp) ![Pot of shabu kalguksu at a boil](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongcheon-dong-shabu-kalguksu-family-weekend/dongcheon-dong-shabu-kalguksu-family-weekend-13-1it7l-900.webp) ### Staff cut the flat kalguksu noodles for us I didn't know how to eat the flat kalguksu noodles, so I asked a staff member, and they said that's actually what you're supposed to call them over for... They cut them into even lengths for us right at the table. ![Flat kalguksu noodles cut by staff](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongcheon-dong-shabu-kalguksu-family-weekend/dongcheon-dong-shabu-kalguksu-family-weekend-14-ijm9g-900.webp) ![Sirloin cooked in the broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongcheon-dong-shabu-kalguksu-family-weekend/dongcheon-dong-shabu-kalguksu-family-weekend-15-1ja0a-900.webp) I liked that you could eat a generous amount of meat for around ₩10,000-something per person!!! The meat is tender, so it's even easier to eat. It doesn't have any fishy taste, and it's soft, not chewy. ![A tender piece of cooked shabu sirloin](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongcheon-dong-shabu-kalguksu-family-weekend/dongcheon-dong-shabu-kalguksu-family-weekend-16-ygn5t-900.webp) ![Side plate with meat and vegetables scooped out](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongcheon-dong-shabu-kalguksu-family-weekend/dongcheon-dong-shabu-kalguksu-family-weekend-17-pyuxv-900.webp) Personally, I liked the flat kalguksu noodles even more than the regular ones!!! Since they're made with the foot-kneading method, they're so much chewier. The fresh kimchi was also fresh and spicy, so it went great with everything...!!!!! ![Chewy flat kalguksu noodles with fresh kimchi](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongcheon-dong-shabu-kalguksu-family-weekend/dongcheon-dong-shabu-kalguksu-family-weekend-18-3lxl2-900.webp) And don't even get me started on the regular kalguksu~~~ the noodles were incredibly chewy, it caught me by surprise. After adding extra broth, if you feel like the slight spiciness is fading ~~~ you can ask the staff and they'll add more chili powder for you. They said the broth itself gets its flavor from chili powder, not from a spicy paste base. ![Regular kalguksu noodles with added chili powder](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongcheon-dong-shabu-kalguksu-family-weekend/dongcheon-dong-shabu-kalguksu-family-weekend-19-o88w8-900.webp) ## Crispy seafood pancake, ₩16,000 The pajeon at Yun Ujae Shabu Kalguksu, where we went for a Gogidong family meal, is really unique and appealing. You don't taste much flour, and the outside seems to be made with a really crispy frying powder...!! Maybe that's why the outside is so crunchy. ![Crispy-edged seafood pajeon](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongcheon-dong-shabu-kalguksu-family-weekend/dongcheon-dong-shabu-kalguksu-family-weekend-20-gcaan-900.webp) The seafood is plump and fresh too~~ all the pancake ingredients are fresh, which makes it even tastier...!! It's appealing and delicious, though it wasn't easy to cut it into a pretty shape. But as long as it tastes good, that's what matters!!! I'll call this a certified Dongcheon-dong restaurant~~~ ![Sliced pieces of seafood pajeon](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongcheon-dong-shabu-kalguksu-family-weekend/dongcheon-dong-shabu-kalguksu-family-weekend-21-1jhdy-900.webp) ## Finishing with self-cooked fried rice The fried rice is also self-serve, cooked by you at the table. It has a slightly nutty, spicy kimchi fried rice feel~~~ ![Self-cooked fried rice to finish the meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongcheon-dong-shabu-kalguksu-family-weekend/dongcheon-dong-shabu-kalguksu-family-weekend-22-10g01-900.webp) It was a satisfying, filling meal...! Yun Ujae Shabu Kalguksu Gogidong Branch is a Dongcheon-dong restaurant, so if you're looking for a Dongcheon-dong family meal spot or a Gogi-ri family meal spot ~~ it's worth a visit at least once!! ## Where it is - Yun Ujae Shabu Kalguksu Gogidong Branch (윤우재 샤브칼국수 고기동점) - 3, 1st floor, Gogi-ro 173beon-gil, Suji-gu, Yongin-si, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea - 경기도 용인시 수지구 고기로173번길 3 1층 - 37.3499956, 127.0860638 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%9C%A4%EC%9A%B0%EC%9E%AC%20%EC%83%A4%EB%B8%8C%EC%B9%BC%EA%B5%AD%EC%88%98%20%EA%B3%A0%EA%B8%B0%EB%8F%99%EC%A0%90/@37.3499956,127.0860638,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@taste-for-clothes/dongcheon-dong-shabu-kalguksu-family-weekend/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
