We ordered the dowon shabu. ![Dowon shabu piled high with meat and bean sprouts](https://img.superchart.com/images/seolleung-dowon-hotpot-couple-dinner-parking/seolleung-dowon-hotpot-couple-dinner-parking-18-1mimp-966.webp) The visual is just.. the kind of visual that makes you grab your camera first ❤️ The meat and bean sprouts came piled up like a mountain, so generous. ![Dowon shabu broth and meat starting to boil](https://img.superchart.com/images/seolleung-dowon-hotpot-couple-dinner-parking/seolleung-dowon-hotpot-couple-dinner-parking-19-1la5g-966.webp) The broth was very clean and refreshing, which was exactly my taste since I like flavors that aren't too intense. Once it starts bubbling, you just dip the crunchy bean sprouts and tender meat into the sauce and eat. ![Meat and bean sprouts from dowon shabu dipped in sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/seolleung-dowon-hotpot-couple-dinner-parking/seolleung-dowon-hotpot-couple-dinner-parking-20-1caxy-966.webp) The texture was great and the broth had such deep flavor that it felt like an instant hangover cure lol. The portion was bigger than expected, plenty for sharing between two people too. ![Dowon shabu table spread shared between two people](https://img.superchart.com/images/seolleung-dowon-hotpot-couple-dinner-parking/seolleung-dowon-hotpot-couple-dinner-parking-21-1xjso-966.webp) ## Parking near Seolleung Station: 60 minutes free in the basement lot No matter how many times I go, parking near Seolleung Station always feels really tough.
