I really enjoyed this place! Came for dinner on a Friday night; small place but there were plenty of tables. Service was very fast and friendly. Had the cucumber saketini and it was honestly one of the best drinks I've ever had.

Had dinner here with friends during the week. The restaurant is small but well done.seating inside and outside. They don't accept reservations. We ordered hot pot, soup base was half tonkutsu and half Szechuan spice. They were both flavorful. The meat combo was yummy and included rice and a medley of vegetables. The vegetables were fresh but I did feel that some of them could have been cut smaller or thinner. Service was great, refilled water glasses and additional broth as needed. Everything was a la cart but overall moderate costs.

I had never heard of Shabu in Quincy until I saw it on instagram and thought it was a new restaurant. I saw they have a lunch buffet deal which is $39 for all you can eat hotpot. It is a very small restaurant with a bar area and probably 6 tables inside but thankfully when I went there were a few tables open. The price does not include the broth and they have some good options to pick from. I got the szechuan spicy and miso broth, which were both solid. I tried the sirloin beef, fatty beef, and regular beef and the sirloin beef was some of the best hotpot meat I have had. For $39, it may seem a little bit pricey but the quality of the ingredients is very high. The sirloin beef was better than some a la carte meat I have had at premium hotpot places. I got my usual hotpot ingredients such as noodles, watercress, enoki mushrooms, and different types of tofu and all were good. They don't have a sauce bar like they do at Chinese hotpot but they have a few ingredients where you can make your own sauce which although it was simple, was very tasty. This place is really good but I wish they did dinner buffet since I prefer other places for a la carte hotpot. Overall, really solid spot, friendly and quick service, and it was a satisfying meal.

Cute intimate hotpot, inside is more quiet and softer vibe with bar seating. Staff and service was so friendly and helpful with reccomendations. This place would do better with groups of 2-6 most. Drinks: Beer, wine, sake, and soju only. No cocktails or hard alcohol. Hotpot: The traditional cuprits to choose from, the sichuan broth and tomato was our favorite. You can get up to 3 combos. The house was just okay, nothing special. The combos were wonderful, we enjoyed more of the steak than the seafood combos and options. We literally ate every single thing we ordered, there was nothing left. Such a fun spot to come, would definitely reccomend.

One of the best spots on allergy awareness and dietary restrictions I've come across when it comes to hot pot! Everything is clearly marked on the menu and the waitress was so kind to offer me gluten-free soy sauce and update the soup base so it contains no gluten. The portion on the combos were great and the price was quite reasonable. Vegetables were fresh, meat was delicious, soup base was simple (a bit plain as others have mentioned) but I tend to dislike too many chemicals and additive ingredients in my hotpot, so the simple broth is fine w/me. I think a simple chicken bone/broth base or even a veggie stock base would make it more flavorful though. Also love how they're blasting warm air as you walk into the courtyard (so nice for the winter) along with festive decor for the holidays!

A cute spot for Chinese hotpot! Nothing japanese shabu about this place but that's ok. The ingredients were fresh and thorough cleaned. Combo meat prices felt a tad bit pricier than most other places but all the other a la carte menu items seemed to be on par pricing wise with other spots. Didn't feel rushed to eat and pay either. You have to sit at a table and not at the bar if you want to do a duo of soup bases. The sirloin steak was very tender and I liked how they laid out the various ingredients in tiny portioned plates for you to make your dipping sauce at your table. Also tried the manilla clams with black bean sauce app and only one out of a good portioned plate of them had gritty sand in it. I will definitely be back when passing through this area again!

Love this place! It's surprisingly good! I was hesitant about paying everything for each single portion and item, but it turned out to be a good experience and quite decent! I was fully and happy and paid ~$60 for two people! There were two of us for dinner! We ordered regular broth and Tom yum broth! Tom Yum Broth was good!! We ordered a "meat combo supreme and a seafood platter combo". Each combo comes with a vegetables plate and one type of noodles! So we got two vegetables plates and two types of noodles from ordering two combos! We got udon and Japanese ramen noodles as part of the combo! The meat quality was excellent! The seafood was great! Service was good! Place was clean! We were treated nicely! We did not have to wait long for a table! It was a good experience and I'm happy to pay!
