Shabu-Zen

we ordered two broths recommended by our server, and they were mushroom and Mongolian spicy. Mushroom was our pick!! Try it because it is good to make congee afterward. This place is a reasonable hotpot restaurant than others.

Getting a lot more pricier than when I used to lived in Allston a few years back but still one of the best hot pot restaurant in my opinion. Used to be able to go crazy when I ordered but now I have to carefully order because it can be quite expensive. I usually get the tom yum broth. I also loves the sautéed baby clams and beef tongue appetizer. Watermelon smoothie for drinks.

Shabuzen, a classic hotpot dinning experience. Shabuzen is probably the second most expensive hotpot restaurant other than Q-restaurant. For example, one order of tofu comes with 5-7 pieces, and costs $5 to order. As of 05/30/2022, the prices have also gone up a tad. Jumbo meats are now basically ~ $33 a plate. In terms of quality, it's probably one of the best out there. The kimchi broth is a go to order for soup bases. I do believe that given the price, there should be more food on the plate. Other than that, everything was pretty good. Waiters are friendly there is hardly ever a line (except Friday evenings). They have a small parking lot behind the restaurant.

Great meat quality and freshest produces and broth selections! I highly recommend Thai Tom Yum, kimchi, Sichuan, or Mongolian flavor because they draw out the natural flavors from the items and it's tasty like that. Also, they have the right beverages to pair up with!
