# Busan shabu kalguksu dinner for two, ₩8,000 meat add-on: Yunujae - By Woobin Sa (https://superchart.com/en/@yeongdo-dusk-galbi/) - Written Sep 18, 2026 - Local places › Restaurants › Nam-gu, Busan - Sponsored: This visit was sponsored by the business. - English edition: https://superchart.com/en/@yeongdo-dusk-galbi/munhyeon-yunwooje-spicy-shabu-kalguksu/ - Also in: [한국어](https://superchart.com/ko/@yeongdo-dusk-galbi/munhyeon-yunwooje-spicy-shabu-kalguksu/index.md) ## In short Yunujae Munhyeon Shabu Kalguksu is a shabu-shabu and kalguksu (knife-cut noodle) restaurant in Munhyeon-dong, Nam-gu, Busan, with basement parking under the building. At dinner the writer ordered two servings of spicy shabu-shabu kalguksu, added ₩8,000 of extra meat, and worked through the full course from hot pot to the house-made chewy noodles and a rice porridge cooked in the leftover broth. At ₩11,000 per person for everything from shabu-shabu to porridge, Yunujae is a great-value neighborhood restaurant. ## Good to know - **Location**: 26 Suyeong-ro, Nam-gu, Busan (Daerim Munhyeon City Plaza, units 158–161) - **Hours**: 11:00 – 20:50 - **Break time**: 15:00 – 16:30 - **Closed**: Open daily - **Parking**: Basement parking in the building - **Shabu-shabu kalguksu**: ₩11,000 per person - **Meat add-on**: ₩8,000 - **Broth choice**: Mild or spicy - **Self-serve corner**: Broth, kal-kimchi - **Price reference**: ₩8,000 ≈ $5.8 · ₩11,000 ≈ $7.9 · ₩22,000 ≈ $16 (2026-09-19) *as written by the visitor on Sep 18, 2026* I was craving shabu-shabu so badly the other day, and while thinking about where to go, I remembered Yunujae Shabu-shabu Kalguksu — a spot a foodie friend took me to a while back. I remembered it being really good, so I decided to revisit after all this time. ![Table setting at Yunujae shabu-shabu kalguksu in Munhyeon-dong, Busan](https://img.superchart.com/images/munhyeon-yunwooje-spicy-shabu-kalguksu/munhyeon-yunwooje-spicy-shabu-kalguksu-01-16w93-1200.webp) ## Where is Yunujae Munhyeon Shabu Kalguksu, and its hours and parking - 📍 Yunujae Shabu Kalguksu - 📍 26 Suyeong-ro, Nam-gu, Busan, South Korea (Daerim Munhyeon City Plaza, units 158-161) - 🕑 11:00 – 20:50 - 🚗 Basement parking available in the building - ⏰ Break time 15:00 – 16:30 - 📌 No regular closing day ![Yunujae Shabu Kalguksu storefront in Daerim Munhyeon City Plaza](https://img.superchart.com/images/munhyeon-yunwooje-spicy-shabu-kalguksu/munhyeon-yunwooje-spicy-shabu-kalguksu-02-h99mn-900.webp) Basement parking made it easy to drive over. We went in the evening, and even before 6pm there were already quite a lot of customers. The place itself is pretty big, but it was still packed. ![Busy interior of Yunujae during the evening dinner rush](https://img.superchart.com/images/munhyeon-yunwooje-spicy-shabu-kalguksu/munhyeon-yunwooje-spicy-shabu-kalguksu-03-11a5g-m-900.webp) And most of all, the crowd skewed older, which somehow always makes me trust a place more haha. It felt like a spot full of neighborhood regulars, and that already smelled like a hidden gem. ![Spacious dining hall and tables inside Yunujae Munhyeon Shabu](https://img.superchart.com/images/munhyeon-yunwooje-spicy-shabu-kalguksu/munhyeon-yunwooje-spicy-shabu-kalguksu-04-1gtu4-900.webp) ## 🥘 What we ordered: spicy shabu-shabu kalguksu for two, ₩11,000 each We ordered two servings of the spicy shabu-shabu kalguksu. At Yunujae you can choose between mild and spicy broth, and we went spicy without a second thought! Ordering was simple, nothing complicated. ![Pot of spicy shabu-shabu kalguksu ordered for two](https://img.superchart.com/images/munhyeon-yunwooje-spicy-shabu-kalguksu/munhyeon-yunwooje-spicy-shabu-kalguksu-05-17b07-900.webp) Unlike other shabu-shabu places, it's not the style where you wrap everything in rice paper or add a bunch of side ingredients — it's a simple setup where you cook meat in a broth loaded with vegetables. But it was surprisingly special. The broth is packed with minari (water dropwort) and mushrooms, so anyone who loves vegetables will especially enjoy this. ![Spicy broth loaded with minari and mushrooms](https://img.superchart.com/images/munhyeon-yunwooje-spicy-shabu-kalguksu/munhyeon-yunwooje-spicy-shabu-kalguksu-06-17e1m-900.webp) There's a self-serve corner with extra broth and kal-kimchi (hand-cut kimchi), so you can just help yourself if you run out. The kimchi here is tasty too — it went really well with the noodles. ![Kal-kimchi taken from the self-serve corner](https://img.superchart.com/images/munhyeon-yunwooje-spicy-shabu-kalguksu/munhyeon-yunwooje-spicy-shabu-kalguksu-07-1n39g-900.webp) ## 🥩 Is the ₩8,000 extra meat at Yunujae worth it? As you'd expect from shabu-shabu, you just cook the meat in the broth. Eating the vegetables and meat together made the broth get richer and richer, with the minari fragrance adding even more flavor. We're big eaters so we added extra meat, and at ₩8,000 for the add-on, it didn't feel like a big deal. ![Shabu-shabu meat cooking in the broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/munhyeon-yunwooje-spicy-shabu-kalguksu/munhyeon-yunwooje-spicy-shabu-kalguksu-08-726ha-900.webp) The base shabu-shabu kalguksu is ₩11,000 per person, so ₩22,000 for two — pretty reasonable considering how expensive eating out has gotten these days. Even with the meat add-on it didn't feel pricey, which explains why so many families were dining there. ![Plate of shabu-shabu meat added for ₩8,000](https://img.superchart.com/images/munhyeon-yunwooje-spicy-shabu-kalguksu/munhyeon-yunwooje-spicy-shabu-kalguksu-09-1jd1r-900.webp) ## 🍜 The house-made kalguksu noodles at Yunujae And here's the part I loved most about Yunujae — the kalguksu noodles are house-made! Once you've eaten through some of the shabu-shabu, you add the kalguksu noodles to the broth. The menu has instructions posted around the restaurant for how to eat it properly, so you can just follow along. ![House-made kalguksu noodles being added to the broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/munhyeon-yunwooje-spicy-shabu-kalguksu/munhyeon-yunwooje-spicy-shabu-kalguksu-10-emuhb-900.webp) It felt totally different from the regular kalguksu noodles you'd buy at the supermarket. The noodles were chewy and had a nice bounce, and they were delicious with the broth. I came for shabu-shabu but ended up more excited about the noodles haha. ![Chewy house-made noodles simmered in spicy broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/munhyeon-yunwooje-spicy-shabu-kalguksu/munhyeon-yunwooje-spicy-shabu-kalguksu-11-ywhr4-900.webp) ## 🍚 Finishing with rice porridge in the leftover broth This is basically a Korean national rule at this point. After finishing the kalguksu, you can add rice to the leftover broth and turn it into porridge. Shabu-shabu → meat → kalguksu → porridge — a perfectly complete carb course haha. ![Porridge made by adding rice to the leftover broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/munhyeon-yunwooje-spicy-shabu-kalguksu/munhyeon-yunwooje-spicy-shabu-kalguksu-12-1oebc-900.webp) Honestly, if you don't finish with the porridge after shabu-shabu, something feels missing. Even though we were full, we cleaned up every last bit of the porridge. ## 🥢 Seafood pajeon: the other dish everyone was ordering Unfortunately, the seafood pajeon (savory seafood pancake) was sold out when we visited, so we didn't get to try it. But looking at other tables, quite a lot of people were ordering it. I'd like to try it next time — shabu-shabu plus seafood pajeon sounds like a proper feast haha. ## 💬 Final verdict on Yunujae in Munhyeon-dong, Busan - ✅️ Great value — shabu-shabu and kalguksu for ₩11,000 per person - ✅️ Especially delicious thanks to the generous minari and mushrooms and the chewy house-made noodles - ✅️ A great neighborhood spot in Munhyeon-dong for whenever a shabu-shabu craving hits — I'd love to come back ## Where it is - Yunujae Munhyeon Shabu Kalguksu (윤우재 문현샤브 칼국수) - 26 Suyeong-ro, Nam-gu, Busan, South Korea (Daerim Munhyeon City Plaza, units 158-161) - 부산광역시 남구 수영로 26 대림문현시티프라자 158호-161호 - 35.1365531, 129.0703709 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%9C%A4%EC%9A%B0%EC%9E%AC%20%EB%AC%B8%ED%98%84%EC%83%A4%EB%B8%8C%20%EC%B9%BC%EA%B5%AD%EC%88%98/@35.1365531,129.0703709,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@yeongdo-dusk-galbi/munhyeon-yunwooje-spicy-shabu-kalguksu/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
