Popular shabu-shabu spots in Gangnam include Sae Ma Eul Shabu Shabu and Haru Shabu. • Hot Pot (훠궈, Chinese-style): Similar to shabu-shabu but with a more diverse variety of broths and spicier options. • Korean BBQ (고기구이): Grilling meat (especially beef like samgyeopsal or hanwoo) at your table. Places like Samwon Garden or Maple Tree House are very famous. • Sundubu Jjigae (순두부찌개): A hot and spicy soft tofu stew — comforting and hearty. • Naengmyeon (냉면): Cold buckwheat noodles, especially refreshing if you’re visiting during warmer mont 월남쌈 & 샤브샤브 샤블리 (Wolnamssam & Shabu-shabu Chablis) • Description: 월남쌈 (Wolnamssam) means “Vietnamese rice paper wraps.” It’s where you wrap fresh vegetables, herbs, meat, and seafood in soft rice paper. 샤브샤브 (Shabu-shabu) is a Japanese hot pot dish where you cook thinly sliced meat and vegetables quickly in boiling broth, then dip them in sauces. 샤블리 (Chablis) in the restaurant name is inspired by a French wine, hinting at a slightly fancier or fresher dining experience.
