샤브74 Shabu 74 A Jinju hotpot house where one price buys 1++ Korean beef, a self-serve bar and greens from the smart farm in the middle of the room

Korean · Jinju-si, Pyeonggeo-dong

Data as of 2026-09-27 · Published 2026-09-30 · Compiled by Gilpost

Shabu74 is a Korean-beef hotpot house on the fourth floor of the Zeus Building in Pyeonggeo-dong, Jinju. It sells one thing: a single price covers the beef, the self-serve bar, the salad bar, the rice-paper rolls, the closing porridge and dessert — 19,900 won for an adult at weekday lunch, 23,900 at weekends and on holidays. The name, explained on a sign by the door, stands for seven organic vegetables and four promises to the customer, and a smart farm stands in the middle of the room growing the european leaves that go into the salad. The broth comes split, mild on one side and hot on the other, at no extra charge. On weekdays it serves lunch only and shuts at three, keeping the evenings for private bookings of fifty or more; weekends run to nine, and it closes every Monday. The posts we read run from February to September 2026.

The values differ, but the periods they were written in do not overlap. This looks like a change over time rather than a disagreement, and the top row is the most recently reported. We did not confirm it with the restaurant.

What sets it apart

What these writers mostly talk about is not the food but the cleaning. Twenty call it clean, and they are specific: nine describe staff circling the room, wiping the bar, clearing plates and topping up trays before they empty. Two say buffets usually make them uneasy about hygiene and this one does not — one calls it the cleanest buffet she has been in. Five note that tongs and plates are swapped out constantly and that a robot comes for your empty dishes when you press the bell; one had named it. Another mentions a large robot vacuum doing the rounds. Three credit the white interior and the glass wall for reinforcing the impression.
There is more than one room, and they seem to seat you in them. Eighteen posts mention rooms, three distinguishing a private room from a larger group one. A party of five was shown into one without asking; so was a family with a baby; a writer who booked found the table already laid. One says a group can be up to twenty; another puts the main hall at around a hundred. Two describe four-seat tables pushed together for parties of eight or more.
Window seats are sought after. One side of the hall is glass, and eight writers mention the view of the Huimang bridge and the hills beyond; one says those tables fill first, another that the view changes with the season, and one resolved to sit there next time. One credits the glass for the high, unclosed feel of the room. One found a set of half-screened booth tables she liked the look of — all taken.
The beef is the one thing that is not bottomless: the bar is unlimited, the meat comes in a fixed portion, and more costs 7,900 won per 100g. Two writers mind — other hotpot buffets in town give extra meat free — but one of them supplies his own answer: looking at the quality, no wonder it is not unlimited. Three who actually ate it report that the portion turned out ample and they did not top up. Three others describe filling up at the bar before the meat even arrived, which is the same story from the other end.
Write a review and they pack you a mini portion of the fried chicken. Six posts describe the deal — Instagram or Naver — and two collected: one took the mini for a receipt review while her sister, at the same table, paid for a whole box. Another writer notes that they will fry a fresh batch for the event, and that she would have taken it had she not been on a work lunch break. Only one of the twenty-five posts declares a sponsorship.
Several writers brought small children, and they are precise about how it went. Six saw high chairs, and three of those say one appeared without being asked. Two were given a child's plate and cutlery. There is food for them too: three note that the prawn fried rice, the chawanmushi and the pumpkin porridge on the bar make a child's meal, and one asked for plain unseasoned rice — not on the bar — and was brought some. Two point out that the split broth means a child can eat from the mild side.
Two writers say the seating is limited to ninety minutes; one says there is no limit and that the lack of one made the meal more relaxed. The ninety-minute posts are from March and May 2026, the other from early May. We cannot tell which is current — both accounts are first-hand and they fall in the same month. The remaining twenty-two posts do not raise the question at all.
There is a queue even at weekday lunch. Six writers waited: one arrived early and sat on the bench by the door; one got there before the eleven o'clock opening; one found the room full enough on a weekday that people were waiting. Four recommend arriving at opening, and two say to come earlier still at weekends and on holidays. Two mention the chairs outside the door, three that staff call you through in order. One who came right at eleven had the room to herself.

hanwoo shabu-shabu₩7,900 · ₩13,900 · ₩19,900 · ₩22,900 · ₩23,900
The only thing on offer. One price covers the beef, the self-serve bar, the salad bar, the rice-paper rolls and dessert. The beef is the one thing that is not bottomless; everything else is. Two broths — mild and hot — arrive already split across the pot, and you fetch the vegetables and noodles yourself.
Half of what gets written about this place is that a shabu-shabu house serves 1++ Korean beef. But the line about being the only one in Jinju to use 1++ No.9 is the restaurant's own, copied verbatim into several posts; nobody checked the grade, and one writer records it differently, as A++ and A+. What is first-hand: four writers say the slices are thin enough that five seconds in the broth is plenty, and five say there was no gamey smell at all. Two are disappointed that the beef alone is not refillable, noting that other buffets in town throw in extra meat free — but three who ate it concluded the portion was ample and they did not need more. Seven call the weekday lunch price good value.

the meal kit₩40,000 · ₩60,000
A two-to-three person kit to cook at home or on a campsite. One post gives the price as 40,000 to 60,000 won; one says it can be shipped.
Eight posts mention the kit and none of the writers bought one — every mention is about some future visit. One praises how carefully something was packed, but that was the chicken.

the sixteen self-serve dishes
Rice, Korean snack food and a little Italian, side by side. Recurring across the posts: old-style tteokbokki, japchae, prawn fried rice, tomato pasta, cold spicy noodles, jellyfish salad, pumpkin porridge, chawanmushi, mushroom-pressed pork, fresh kimchi and pickled onion. The restaurant advertises sixteen of them, each 'main-course grade'.
Opinions on the range split. Two writers say there are fewer dishes than at the chains but each one is better; one is openly disappointed by the choice; another says you could skip a buffet and come here instead. Favourites vary: prawn fried rice and japchae get four votes each, the old-style tteokbokki three, the mushroom-pressed pork three — one notes how rare it is to find pressed pork at a hotpot place — the cold noodles two, the chawanmushi two. Nine posts describe staff circling the bar, wiping and refilling as they go.

the split broth
The pot arrives already divided: mild broth on one side, hot on the other, at no extra charge. A dispenser on the self-serve bar refills it — you carry the beaker from your table over and fill it yourself.
Two writers point out that other places charge for a second broth and this one does not. Three describe the hot side as restrained rather than fierce, and nobody found it too much. Two split the endgame — rice porridge in the mild half, knife-cut noodles in the hot half. One mistook the dispenser for a drinks machine.

smart-farm greens
A smart farm stands in the middle of the room, and the leaves growing in it go into the salad; the self-serve bar loops around it. Four writers name the varieties — butterhead, multi-red, Charles, Isabel, Caipira.
Twenty-one posts mention the farm, and it is the first thing they notice — six say it hits you as you walk in. Several say seeing it made them trust the greens; one admits she does not like salad but tried it because it was grown in front of her. Two like that the cabbage for the pot comes pre-cut so you need no scissors; one found the cucumber left in pieces too large. One writer arrived to find the farm lying fallow between crops.

dak-gangjeong₩10,000
The thing people who came here for shabu-shabu end up writing about most. Two versions sit on the self-serve bar, sweet-chilli and soy, and it is also sold to take away at 10,000 won. Write a review and they pack you a mini portion.
Six writers say it beats dedicated fried-chicken shops. Five describe it as crisp outside and soft inside; one notes the crushed peanut on top. Four admit they ate more of this than of the shabu-shabu, and one asks whether this is a chicken shop or a hotpot shop. One took a box home on the way out; one regretted that a work lunch break left no time to.

rice-paper rolls
A corner of its own: rice paper plus carrot, cucumber, pineapple, perilla, beetroot and shredded cabbage. There is a separate hot-water tap for softening the paper, and the plates are single pieces shaped to hold both the hotpot dip and a roll.
Five writers say the rolls made them eat far more vegetables than usual. Two practical notes: put the pineapple in, and go easy on the beetroot or it tastes of earth. One finds the rice paper thinner than elsewhere — chewier, but it tore when very hot meat sat on it too long. Four sauces, refillable: peanut, chilli, ponzu and fish sauce. One writer pairs chilli with the rolls and peanut with the hotpot.

the fried things
Cartilage sweet-and-sour pork with the sauce served separately, fried chicken skin, fried squash, wedge potatoes and prawn crackers, all on the same bar.
Three writers simply declare that this place is good at frying. One notes the absence of any oily smell, one that they stay crisp as they cool, two enjoy the crunch of the cartilage. Two compare the fries to McDonald's. One appreciates that the sweet-and-sour sauce comes on the side, for those who prefer to dip.
마무리 죽13 ate it
the closing porridge
Soaked rice, vegetables, seaweed flakes and a raw egg come together in one bowl; you tip it into what is left of the broth and stir. Two writers note it needs no extra seasoning.
Six posts reach for the same line: porridge is how shabu-shabu ends. Two praise the way the ingredients hide under the egg dish so you carry it all in one trip. One went back for more broth to make a second batch; one advises starting with more liquid than looks necessary; one warns to ladle it out rather than eat from the pot.
한우 추가(100g)2 ate it
extra beef, 100g₩7,900
More beef costs 7,900 won per 100g. It is the one thing here you pay extra for.
Thirteen writers quote the price; two actually ordered more. One added 200g and found it just as fresh as the first plate. One notes it was brought over by the serving robot.

Parking

17 posts say you can park. None say you cannot.

Posts saying you can park	17 of 24 posts

You can park, but the way in is tight. Basement levels one and two are free, and seventeen writers mention them — three warn about the same thing: the entrance is narrow, level two narrower than level one, and one advises stopping at level one because of the signage on the way down. There are alternatives: two say kerbside parking works, and two suggest using the Top Mart nearby and walking, which one of them did on a weekday lunchtime.

Getting there

Getting inside

Second floor	22 of 24 posts
Lift to the floor	4 of 24 posts

It is on the fourth floor. Park on basement level one or two, take the lift, and the door is in front of you — one writer says the cleanliness registers the moment the lift opens. Directions are given entirely by neighbours: past the Top Mart crossroads towards Sacheon, under the Huimang bridge, the big building right in front of the Ttungbo grill house, opposite the Hamo CrossFit, next door to the Kids Dakung play café. Two writers note that the dining room is split into halls A and B, which keeps people from crossing paths.

Nobody says whether you can get in with a wheelchair or a pushchair. No one looked at the threshold, the width of the door, or the gaps between the serving counters. Two things help a guess: four writers come up to the fourth floor by lift, and seven describe wide spacing between tables and easy circulation. But this is a restaurant where you walk to the bar and back repeatedly — one writer refilled her greens four times — and not one post says what those trips would be like in a wheelchair. Several came with small children, and none says what they did with the pram.

Effectively nobody has looked at the toilet. One writer mentions it in passing — the cleanliness starts at the lift and extends to the toilet — but that does not tell us whether it is inside the restaurant or out in the fourth-floor corridor. Another post lists separate men's and women's toilets, but that line is copied wholesale from the Naver facilities list, alongside group bookings, reservations, wifi and high chairs, so it is not something she saw. This is a unit sharing a floor of an office building, and we do not know where the toilet is or how many stalls it has.

No one mentioned: In a basement · Ramp at the door · Step at the entrance · Step-free access · Toilet inside · Accessible toilet · Separate restrooms. That is not the same as there being none — it means we could not confirm it. Worth calling ahead, and do tell us: we will put it here.

What we do not know

Nobody says how to get here without a car. In twenty-five posts there is not one bus number, not one stop. What there is instead: parking, in seventeen of them, and a position pinned by its neighbours — the Top Mart crossroads, under the Huimang bridge, in front of the Ttungbo grill, opposite the CrossFit box, next to the kids' café. The closest anyone comes to arriving on foot is a suggestion to do your shopping at the Top Mart and walk over — which is still a suggestion about where to leave the car.
Two posts get the hours wrong, and following either one would waste your trip: weekdays are lunch only, closing at three, but an April 2026 post and a September one both give the hours simply as eleven to nine. Twelve posts split it properly, so this looks like two writers flattening rather than a real disagreement — we have left them as written. The weekend evening service is new as of April 2026: three writers saw the notice announcing it, and the three posts from February and March give no weekend hours at all, only eleven to three. Two explain why weekday evenings are dark — Tuesday to Friday they are kept for private bookings of fifty or more, arranged a week ahead.
The boasts that recur here came from the restaurant. Seven organic vegetables and four promises, the urban smart farm, the claim to be the only hotpot house in Jinju using 1++ No.9 beef, sixteen side dishes each prepared daily to main-course standard, a local Jinju brand — the same sentences appear on unrelated blogs. Nobody checked the grade: one writer describes the same beef as A++ and A+. One price disagrees too, with six posts putting the weekend adult rate at 23,900 won and a March 2026 post at 22,900. And one thing worth knowing about the farm: a writer who visited in September 2026 found it empty, lying fallow between crops.
