Shabu & Mein

Just had a great dinner at the bar of Shabu & Mein. The bartender was amazing and interactive. He was patient with my questions and gave recommendations where asked. I went with the traditional ramen (though as I understand it, this ramen was less traditional with more of a modern twist), I've been trying to get some for years but never got a chance. It was delicious! Going to be coming again before I leave Boston.

Super polite staff, but the service was very slow! I had very high expectations from this place! I love ramen, but the curry ramen here tasted very different from other curry ramens I’ve tasted before! It was like an Indian based curry rather than Thai based curry. I may go back here and try the hot pot or other food, but I don’t think I’ll try the ramen again!

Happened to walk by this eatery and decided to have lunch here. It was great decision. Tried my favorite Tom Yum broth Shabu. It was delicious. The staffs are very nice. Busy place, make sure to make reservation. Otherwise, you will have to wait a while.

We tried the hot pot with both the house pork broth and tom yum. The house broth was very mild and imparted almost no flavor when used for cooking. The tom yum with its spicy citrus sour favors was good and we used it for almost everything. Portion size and value was was good. Seafood Supreme for two at $32 had a nice selection including a lobster tail and included an additional 6 large tasty shrimp with assorted fish and seafood. Napa was good and we tried corn as a change up. Seafood dumplings were a nice, inexpensive add on. They added dividers to the tables for small parties and do seat small parties at the same, long table. Having a reservation was key, and service was friendly. They did a good job of explaining the process and recommending cooking times for each item. Fun, interactive and tasty. Kudos to the cook ;) Most significant issue was that they served people at outside tables and used the side door next to our table frequently causing a very strong blast of cold air. Good thing we had hot soup.
