しゃぶ葉 広島本通店 — Restaurant in Hiroshima

The five star rating we give this restaurant reflects the best possible value for money experience in Japan for an all you can eat restaurant.

We attended their dinner service and chose the all you can eat option for about 3000yen including domestic/local protein. There’s also an additional all you can drink alcoholic option for about 1400yen or 300yen for non alcoholic options.

Don’t come here if you’re after a traditional and authentic experience of Japan food.

We came here because we eat hotpot back at home on a weekly basis and we came here for our weekly fix of vegetables. The protein is exactly what you can expect, thin sliced, great protein and it’s delicious.

What is unique about this restaurant and we highly recommend trying is the different variety of broth flavours (about 8-10 flavours). We chose half yuzu salt (as a lighter broth option) and we went with the very spicy herbal medicinal option and this was on the less spicy side in comparison with the ha di lao, prepackaged broths we have at home.

I think the selection of ingredients is pretty good. There were at least five different soups/broths to start with and then different cuts of pork. I didn’t see any other meats (but I was translating from Japanese so I may have missed something). Once your cook area is prepped, you’re free to get any veggies, sides, or sauces at your leisure. My favorite side was some Japanese curry in seaweed rice. There are also included desserts with their own toppings. Checking out is as simple as taking your receipt to the...

This place is excellent value for money. We tried all kinds of beef with four different broths and they were all delicious. The salad station is huge, with a variety of vegetables. There are also rice and noodles, and I liked that you could add as much or as little rice as you want. There were also so many sauces to choose from and a variety of drinks. The all you can eat/drink option is great also. The staff are friendly and very, very quick and efficient. We would place an order and within two minutes, they’d bring it out. The atmosphere was lively but not too loud....
