pab-sang at Lumine Est Shinjuku is a Korean home-cooking restaurant on the seventh floor, operated by the Saikabo group.

pab-sang at Lumine Est Shinjuku is a Korean home-cooking restaurant on the seventh floor of the Lumine Est shopping centre, directly connected to JR Shinjuku Station's east exit. Operated by Saikabo, a group that runs a network of Korean family dining and food retail outlets across Japan, the restaurant opened in Lumine Est to bring a more casual take on Korean home cooking to the Shinjuku dining scene.

The menu focuses on bibimbap, stews, bulgogi and the small plates of banchan that define a Korean family meal, with portions and pricing aimed at single diners and small groups rather than large banquets. The kitchen leans toward the comforting side of Korean cooking, with options such as kimchi jjigae and doenjang jjigae that suit a warming lunch or a relaxed dinner rather than a fiery late-night session.

Opening hours run from 11:00 to 22:00, in line with the Lumine Est building schedule, and the location is a short walk from both JR Shinjuku Station and Shinjuku-sanchome Station on the Marunouchi and Fukutoshin lines. Because the seventh floor of Lumine Est houses several popular restaurants, lunch queues can build between 12:00 and 13:30, so arriving shortly after 11:00 or after 14:00 usually means a shorter wait for a table.
