Hello :)
We at JW Garden Plastic Surgery, who repay you with results, are back today with a shabu-shabu review.
A famous restaurant featured on a popular TV program
Here’s our honest review of Homsukki Hak-dong branch. Let’s get started right away!

Homsukki Hak-dong branch is near Segwan Intersection,
and it is closer to Hak-dong Station.

The interior is luxurious.
It feels more like a high-end restaurant than a shabu-shabu place.

As you’d expect from a famous restaurant, there are lots of celebrity autographs.

There are various kinds of seafood in the tank.

Rather than a large open hall,
it is divided into private sections.
We went without a reservation,
but luckily there was one table left, so we could sit down right away.
The team that came after us was told the wait would be over an hour.
Even on a weekday evening, a reservation seems essential.

The seat we were shown to.
Since it was inside a room, it was quiet and nice.

From wine to various shabu-shabu course dishes,
there are special menu items and additional menu items available.

We ordered the Dinner C course.
The price is on the high side.

Basic setting: salad,
two kinds of kimchi, and sauces.
There is a staff member in each room, and they
cook everything from start to finish
and serve it on individual plates.

The table space was not cramped, and they placed the ingredients on the table across from us and cooked them as we went,
so all we had to do was eat.

The meal starts with various mushrooms and vegetables.
Since this was a shabu-shabu dish with lots of mushrooms,
it included unique mushrooms that are not easy to come across in everyday life,
such as golden enoki and lion’s mane.

When everything is cooked, they separate it onto individual plates like this.
So comfortable.
Various mushrooms, vegetables, and even rice cakes.

Lion’s mane and golden enoki mushrooms
had a great texture.

Next came the seafood course.
Abalone, shrimp, scallops, and even lobster —
the seafood was substantial and very fresh.

The remains of the seafood we devoured.

After eating even the meat far off in the distance,
we started to feel full.
For the final meal in the course,
you have to choose between porridge and knife-cut noodles,
and we chose porridge.

Even though we were full, we neatly finished the porridge too.
![[Hak-dong Restaurant] Delicious Guys Restaurant, Hak-dong Shabu-shabu image 30](https://pub-9f2bb3498faf4d1d8714b41df24753e3.r2.dev/content/clinics/archive/9b2f38d7eb/naver_blog/jwbeauty5415114/assets/by_hash/259dc87b11fde9b9858e915a825803ccce3482166b0c00f2c36c3529fbc5d0f2.jpg)
We even had the final dessert, the kabocha pumpkin pie.
Looking at it again, I’m full all over again.
Overall, the ingredients were fresh,
they cooked everything from start to finish with ease,
and the atmosphere was luxurious as well.
It seemed like a good place for special occasions, family gatherings, year-end get-togethers, and all kinds of meetings.
The flavors were not too刺激な? No, replace with natural English? Wait. The meal was not too strong in flavor, so older adults would probably like it.
Personally, I thought the provided sauces were just okay.
(My palate is used to spicy/strong-flavored food. ^^)
If you’re craving shabu-shabu near Hak-dong,
I recommend stopping by at least once.
