Hongdam Malatang Yangkochi Shabu Shabu

About

Spacious spot in Guro Digital Complex serving hot pot, lamb skewers, and mala soup with customizable spice and numbing levels.

In Guro’s bustling Woolim e-Biz Center 2, Hongdam Malatang Lamb Skewers Shabu-Shabu expands on its local reputation with an airy, spacious second outpost built for office lunches and evening team gatherings. The sprawling dining room caters to cravings across the Chinese culinary spectrum, offering skewered meats, customizable malatang, and all-you-can-eat Chinese shabu-shabu hotpot under one roof. The kitchen takes pride in butchering its lamb fresh on-site daily rather than relying on frozen cuts, making the skewered lamb meats—from classic *yang꼬치* to tender lamb chops (*yang-galbi*)—a focal point of the grill tables. Diners looking for shareable mains round out the meal with plates of crisp-fried *kkwo ba rou* and stir-fried dried tofu side dishes. For the soup pots, the setup accommodates meticulous palates. The ordering system uniquely separates chili heat from the tongue-numbing *mala* intensity, allowing diners to dial in both levels independently. The broth itself leans into a milky, deeply extracted beef-bone (*sagol*) base that tempers the sharper edges of the peppercorns into a rich, savory sip. Over at the self-serve stations, an extensive topping bar keeps things spotless, stocked with crisp greens, cheese-stuffed fish balls, lotus-root-infused *bunmoja*, and playful shapes like panda *bunmoja* and rock-paper-scissors wide glass noodles (*newjinmyeon*). Steamed rice is served free and bottomless, and a well-appointed sauce bar lets guests blend their own dipping mixtures with extra sesame paste, aromatics, or punchy chili oils. Between the generous lunch specials running until 3:00 PM and an unhurried, continuous service schedule without afternoon breaks, Hongdam operates as a reliable workhorse for Guro’s digital district. Whether pulling meat skewers over glowing embers or dunking unlimited noodles and tofu into simmering cauldrons, the room hums with hearty, customizable comfort.
