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.

This is the best hot pot restaurant around. The wait staff is so incredible, kind, and attentive. The food is absolutely delicious and it feels very cozy inside. I've eaten here multiple times and will recommend it over and over. The scallion pancakes, spring rolls, chicken nuggets, and fried ice cream are my favorite things to order here. 10/10 would recommend going here

The soups are great, better than other hotpot. You will need to order extra side orders since 1 combo for one is not enough, so expect to spend 50+ per person.

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.

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.

Although it seemed a bit like a cafeteria with its setup, it turned out to be excellent for service and comfort.Parking: Street parking can be difficult because of its proximity to many establishments of the area. There was a restaurant specific parking lot behind that was very welcome to have.
