What's on the buffet at Shabre Garden

The variety here is really something. It's not just a shabu-shabu place — it's shabu-shabu + sushi + about 50 buffet dishes + dessert bar + unlimited beer all in one very generous meal 👍🏻

Shabu-shabu broths and beef cuts

The shabu-shabu broth comes in two types, regular and spicy, so you can pick based on your taste. I started by piling up my shabu-shabu ingredients — plenty of napa cabbage, mung bean sprouts, bok choy, mushrooms and other vegetables, plus meat. There are two cuts of beef, brisket and neck, so you can choose your favorite part, and the best part is it's all unlimited!!

Once I brought over buffet food too, it really felt like a full spread, haha.

Once the broth starts bubbling, you add the vegetables first, then the meat, and cook it through. There's something fun about picking your own ingredients and cooking them yourself with shabu-shabu, haha.

Sushi and buffet side dishes

While the meat cooks, you eat through everything else you've grabbed. I came for shabu-shabu but ended up with sushi and so much more — the options really open up! It's a shabu-shabu-focused restaurant, but the range and variety of buffet dishes was better than I expected. From fried food to salads to all sorts of side dishes, it was fun picking through them all.

Wrapping the cooked meat from the well-brewed broth in a Vietnamese-style rice wrap made the meat-and-veggie combo perfect! Shabu-shabu really is best with plenty of vegetables and meat together 😆

Between picking out my favorite sushi pieces one by one and eating the shabu-shabu, my plates just kept stacking up before I knew it, hahat..

From fruit drinks to sparkling drinks to coffee tea bags, everything was ready.. it's more a question of what to try first, honestly.

Dessert bar: waffles, bingsu and soft-serve ice cream

You know how full as you are, there's always a separate stomach for dessert, right?

I made my own waffle and topped soft-serve ice cream with plenty of chocolate syrup. Making my own bingsu (shaved ice dessert) too really completed the buffet course! With soft-serve, bingsu and bakery items at the dessert bar, it was a sweet way to end the meal.

In the end, this was a day I ate really well, right up to the edge of bursting, lol. If you're looking for a buffet restaurant in Nam-gu, Ulsan, this is where I'll be coming back to! A place to enjoy shabu-shabu, sushi, buffet and dessert all together, generously 💛
