A couple came for weekend brunch and ordered the basic mushroom kalguksu (clear broth) for two with added shabu beef, getting vegetables, beef, noodles and fried rice for about 15,000 won per person. The kimchi made with Korean napa cabbage and chili powder was crisp, and the fried rice, stir-fried in the pot at the table, came out crunchy like nurungji (scorched rice) for a great-value lunch. ## Good to know - **Address**: 2F, Units 2004–2005, Gran Passage Green Zone, 9 Dongtan-daero 5-gil, Dongtan-gu, Hwaseong-si, Gyeonggi-do - **Hours**: Daily 11:00–21:00, break 15:00–17:00, last order 14:00 and 20:00 (closed Sept 24, Chuseok day) - **Parking**: Available in the restaurant's building - **Main kalguksu**: Spicy, perilla and algoni (fish roe) mushroom kalguksu, for 2–4 people, 30,000–50,000 won - **Basic mushroom kalguksu**: Spicy, perilla or clear broth, 10,000 won per person - **Drinks and alcohol**: Zero-alcohol beer, bokbunja, Chamisul soju, cola and more, 2,000–15,000 won - **Services**: Groups, takeout, delivery and reservations available; local currency vouchers, Zero Pay and mobile payments accepted - **Seating**: Tables for 4 to 6 - **Event**: One canned drink for each Naver receipt review - **Visit date**: September 13, 2026 - **Price reference**: ₩15,000 ≈ $11 · ₩30,000 ≈ $21.5 · ₩10,000 ≈ $7.2 (2026-09-19) *as written by the visitor on Sep 18, 2026* A lunch recommendation near Dongtan Lake Park — Deungchon Shabu Kalguksu Gran Passage Branch, visited 2026.09.13 ![A full table of shabu kalguksu at Deungchon Shabu Kalguksu Gran Passage Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongtan-lake-park-shabu-kalguksu-brunch/dongtan-lake-park-shabu-kalguksu-brunch-01-1hvbf-1200.webp) One of the great restaurants around Dongtan Lake Park, located right in the Gran Passage building facing the lake, Deungchon Shabu Kalguksu Gran Passage Branch is perfect for lunch.

They brought out the shabu beef, kalguksu, and porridge one after another. ![Pot of mushroom shabu packed with minari](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongtan-lake-park-shabu-kalguksu-brunch/dongtan-lake-park-shabu-kalguksu-brunch-14-ks7b5-966.webp) ![Pot of mushroom shabu vegetables before boiling](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongtan-lake-park-shabu-kalguksu-brunch/dongtan-lake-park-shabu-kalguksu-brunch-15-1yus5-966.webp) Then came the mushroom shabu pot, packed with minari (water celery)! I really love minari, and I could already catch its fragrant aroma. The vegetables and ingredients here are pretty fresh overall, which makes it taste even better ^^ And the kimchi, made with domestic napa cabbage and chili powder, didn't have a strong fermented smell and was crisp and delicious haha ![Close-up of crisp kimchi side dish](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongtan-lake-park-shabu-kalguksu-brunch/dongtan-lake-park-shabu-kalguksu-brunch-16-ti4e9-900.webp) ![Clear mushroom shabu broth coming to a boil](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongtan-lake-park-shabu-kalguksu-brunch/dongtan-lake-park-shabu-kalguksu-brunch-17-buth3-900.webp) ![Beef added into the shabu broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongtan-lake-park-shabu-kalguksu-brunch/dongtan-lake-park-shabu-kalguksu-brunch-18-apmi7-900.webp) ## How does the clear-broth shabu-shabu taste? Once the mushroom shabu started boiling, they added the extra beef we ordered and boiled it again for another 2–3 minutes. You can choose clear, perilla, or spicy broth — we like savory broths, so we went with clear. ![Cooked beef and vegetables scooped out of the pot](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongtan-lake-park-shabu-kalguksu-brunch/dongtan-lake-park-shabu-kalguksu-brunch-19-13xxj-900.webp) ![A bowl of clear broth shabu-shabu](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongtan-lake-park-shabu-kalguksu-brunch/dongtan-lake-park-shabu-kalguksu-brunch-20-1p5hc-900.webp) The beef was tender, not tough at all, and the broth, infused with various vegetables and beef, was clear in color but rich and delicious. The mushrooms, minari, and bean sprouts were all fresh with nothing spoiled, which made the broth taste even cleaner and deeper >< ![Kalguksu noodles and dumplings added into the broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongtan-lake-park-shabu-kalguksu-brunch/dongtan-lake-park-shabu-kalguksu-brunch-21-1uh8q-900.webp) ![Chewy cooked kalguksu noodles](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongtan-lake-park-shabu-kalguksu-brunch/dongtan-lake-park-shabu-kalguksu-brunch-22-1paim-900.webp) ![Side plate with kalguksu and kimchi together](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongtan-lake-park-shabu-kalguksu-brunch/dongtan-lake-park-shabu-kalguksu-brunch-23-11doj-900.webp) Once we'd eaten all the vegetables and beef from the shabu, we dropped in the kalguksu noodles and dumplings right away so the broth kept boiling! The noodles here are chewy, and eating them with the kimchi added even more savory depth >< ![Fried rice cooked scorched and crunchy like nurungji](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongtan-lake-park-shabu-kalguksu-brunch/dongtan-lake-park-shabu-kalguksu-brunch-24-ox4gm-900.webp) ## Finishing with fried rice as crunchy as nurungji Even after the kalguksu, we were full, but this nurungji (scorched rice)-style fried rice was not to be missed. Here, they take the pot itself away to fry the rice separately, and the texture isn't porridge-like at all—it's crunchy and savory, really like nurungji fried rice. Nothing too different flavor-wise, but with egg and a savory taste, and topped with kimchi, it was all delicious—kimchi makes everything taste good haha ## Who is this Dongtan Lake Park restaurant best for?
