This has become a favorite whenever we’re in Massachusetts. The A5 Wagyu is superb and requires just a small amount of time to get right… allowing the fat to shine through.

Quality hot pot buffet!! Wife and I popped in by chance and they didn’t disappoint. The lunch buffet was perfectly priced and greatly portioned. For her, the flavorful miso and me, the spicy Szechuan. Alice did a great job and we look forward to our next visit. If you want hotpot with generous portions, but don’t want any of the shopping effort, go to Shabu.

I enjoyed the place. My friend and I got the all-you-can-eat meal on a Wednesday. In this meal, there was a really nice selection of meat and vegetables that you can select from for 2 hours. The broths were also well prepared and went well with the meat. The ice cream in the end was a great way to end the evening. I would recommend people to come here and try it out.

Truly the best hotpot place ever. My friends and I have been going since middle school! Now whenever we come home on college breaks we always make sure to go to Shabu. The scallion pancakes are a MUST!! The service is always exceptional and the atmosphere is great. I can’t even count the amount of times I’ve been.

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 delicious hot pot.

Easily the best Hot Pot in Massachusetts. Dare you to prove me wrong! This place has a great setup. You can easily seat a group of people for a long dinner or sit at the bar and have a pot all to yourself. The cuts of meet are very fresh, very thin, and a broth selection to satisfy all taste buds. I’m a big meat eater, however what I think sets this place apart from the competition is the vegetables. Large selection and everything is as fresh as it gets. I personally love going for lunch for the all ya can stuff buffet.

We tried this place for the first time on a chilly, rainy day, craving something warm and comforting, and it turned out to be a fantastic decision. The restaurant was clean and inviting, with fresh, flavorful meats that really hit the spot. I especially loved the stir-fried clams in black bean sauce so much that I ordered them twice! The kimchi soup was also incredibly delicious, packed with rich, satisfying flavor. Overall, we were genuinely impressed. The service was friendly and attentive, making our first visit even more enjoyable.
