Enjoying Malatang Shabu at Chaesundang Shabu Boat New Core Bucheon Branch❤️
Hello there.
This is Captain Mex saying hi. 😄
📍This weekend, my family and I headed out to Sangdong, Bucheon.
It's a 35-minute drive from Incheon Airport. And a 35-minute drive from my house.
Actually, there was a slightly more special reason for this visit.🙈🙈
It’s because we visited the 'Chaesundang Shabu Boat New Core Bucheon Branch,' which is lovingly run by my second oldest sister and my brother-in-law!🫢🫢
Even normally, my friends... acquaintances... and friends visiting from abroad have thought, "I definitely have to go there once," and they finally got to visit and taste it... To give you the conclusion first, my friends told me that they instantly understood why so many people flock to this place. Ha~haha~👏😍 Thank you 😊
It's located on the 5th-floor Food Street of the New Core Outlet, which is directly connected to Exit 1 of Sangdong Station on Subway Line 7, making it incredibly accessible.
It’s a great spot to grab a bite after some shopping, and since it’s right next to the Sopung Bucheon Terminal, the location is super convenient to visit.

📍The very first thing that catches your eye the moment you step into the restaurant is the neat and clean interior. From solo seats where you won't feel awkward eating alone to tables perfect for dining with family, loved ones, and friends, there's a variety of seating options ready, creating a welcoming vibe no matter who you come with.
As the solo dining culture has become more natural lately, 1-person Shabu Shabu specialty restaurants are gaining popularity, and I think Chaesundang Shabu Boat is a brand that truly maximizes those advantages.
📍What I loved the most is the 1-person pot system.
The fact that you can each choose your preferred broth and enjoy Shabu Shabu in your own style is incredibly appealing. Even if you visit with a group, there’s no need to compromise on tastes; everyone just picks their favorite flavor, which makes the dining experience so much more satisfying.
📍I ordered the Malatang Shabu, which is always one of the most popular items on the menu.
As the spicy Mala broth starts to bubble, the aroma really kicks my appetite into high gear. It's so fun to cook the fresh veggies, mushrooms, and tender beef by dipping them in one by one. They also have Sukiyaki, a dish I ate often in Japan! Of course, I think Japan does Sukiyaki best. Personally, I absolutely love authentic Japanese Sukiyaki.👏👏😁😁
📍The Chaesundang Malatang Shabu broth is spicy yet deep, not overly overwhelming but very clean. The signature Mala aroma and numbing sensation are just right, so I think both Mala lovers and first-timers can enjoy it without any pressure.
The thinly sliced beef cooked perfectly and melted in my mouth, the fresh veggies maintained their satisfying crunch, and most importantly, the flavor of each ingredient blended beautifully into the broth, making every bite delicious down to the very last spoonful.😋
My family who came along all had huge smiles of satisfaction on their faces. It goes to show that anyone can recognize food made with great ingredients and heart. Hahaha 😂
You can also find a variety of other options at Chaesundang Shabu Boat.
✔ Beef Tomato Shabu 13,900 KRW
✔ Malatang Shabu 13,900 KRW
✔ Spicy Oyster Blade Shabu 16,900 KRW
✔ Japanese-style Sukiyaki
Next time, I definitely want to try the Tomato Shabu and Sukiyaki.
📍In particular, Chaesundang emphasizes eco-friendly, healthy eating, allowing you to enjoy as many fresh veggies as you want, making it a fantastic choice for those looking for a wholesome meal.
It's already a well-loved brand among Koreans, but these days, Shabu Shabu is also becoming a hit among foreign tourists, bringing a lot of attention to Chaesundang Shabu Boat as well.
Whether you're eating alone, on a date, or dining out with the kids, it's a place that will satisfy everyone, so I highly recommend it with confidence.
I had another happy time today thanks to a delicious meal.
