Shabu — Restaurant in Quincy

We frequent Shabu quite often usually on Friday nights. We first came here about 2 years ago based on a friends recommendation. I’ll preface this by saying I am worried about writing this review in fear that we will never never get a seat again on a Friday night - this is definitely one of Quincy’s best kept secrets. I only had one experience with hot pot previous to Shabu and was not super excited about it, but also didn’t hate it. We decided to give it another try. It was a little bit of a risk because I have two young children 7yo and 9yo and this was a total different different way of eating. My son was traditionally a poor eater so we were not sure how he would respond. Our first visit was no less than amazing. Shabu is a small place but but is very energetic and has great buzz to it. The menu at first was a little hard to figure out but we had a great server who navigated us through and helped us order. Although they do not have a kids menu, there are so many great items for kids to choose from. As mentioned, my son the picky eater, found a couple things he loved. They were kind enough to prepare a non-spicy version of their chicken tenders along with a side of rice and some Napa cabbage and he was off to the races ! We chose a meat combo supreme with prime rib, chicken, and pork. It comes with a choice of noodle, choice of soup and some vegetables. It’s delicious. Our favorite noodle is ramen and my choice of soup is spicy schezwan - my kids get the miso broth. We have also tried a number of different meats - short rib which is amazing and the wagyu beef is over the top. They have a great wine by the glass selection and good bottle list. Of particular note is the service- it’s excellent. We get a little more attention because we are more than regulars, however, I remember how good the service was on our first visit as noted. They also have an outdoor patio that is heated and open all year long. We have found this a great style of cuisine and its light and fresh. You can order a’l’carte or in combos. You have a lot of choices if you are out for a lite dinner...

How in the world have I not reviewed this place yet? I'm stunned. I've been here many, many times. With my wife, with friends, with a big group of Yelpers and with some family.

This modest establishment sits on one of Quincy's main roads but there's plenty of street parking. Inside you'll find about 7-8 tables as well as a bar counter that sits another 6 or so people. And on every table, as you can imagine, is an induction burner and usually a ton of plates of ingredients ready to be swished around in the various broths they offer.

Best of all, they have an all-you-can-eat option available with reasonable pricing. They call it the buffet and there's a dedicated menu for it. This is our favorite option and a great way to try various things to keep the meal very interesting. There's over fifty options to pick from including beef, lamb, chicken, pork, turkey, various mushrooms, noodles, and seafood as well.

All of the meats and veggies we've had there have been of great quality and the service impeccable. I haven't had the seafood but people I've been with have and they had no complaints either. There's also fourteen different soup bases to pick from which is also nice and they recently introduced a new pot allowing one to have to three different ones per table at once. I recommend the kimchi one which is our favorite. The Japanese Curry one is interesting as well.

All in all, this place rocks! It's awesome and I always look forward to returning here no matter the time of year or who I'm with. It's by far the best shabu-shabu option in the...

My boyfriend and I decided to visit this restaurant after a long and chilly day spent in the rain. We were seeking some comfort food to warm us up, and hot pot seemed like the perfect choice. It was actually the first time that Edward, my boyfriend, had ever been to a hot pot restaurant, so we were both excited to try something new together.

We didn't hold back when it came to ordering. We treated ourselves to the A5 Wagyu, which was absolutely worth every penny. In addition to that, we also indulged in other delicious fixings such as quail eggs, a mushroom combo, watercress, and lamb. The variety of ingredients made our hot pot experience even more enjoyable.

One particular highlight of our meal was the pork bone broth that we selected. It was bursting with flavor and added an extra layer of richness to our hot pot. I highly recommend giving it a try if you ever visit this restaurant.

Aside from the tasty food, the restaurant itself had a charming atmosphere. It's an ideal place for a casual get-together with friends or a romantic date night. There's even a bar available, which adds to the overall experience. The staff members were incredibly friendly and attentive, making our dining experience even more pleasant.

All in all, our visit to this hot pot restaurant was a delightful experience. We left feeling satisfied, both in terms of our appetites and the overall dining experience. I would definitely recommend giving it a try if you're in the mood for some comforting and...
