About Shabuhouse

Head upstairs on Mary Street and take a hard left for a high-velocity Japanese feast where individual hot pots meet endless sushi. Pick your own broth from the counter—spicy miso or malatang—and dial in the heat at your seat. Regulars load up on beef, seafood, and thick kalguksu noodles, but the sushi line holds its own against CBD standalone joints with rows of fresh nigiri and wagyu aburi. When you need a break from simmering broth, grab golden karaage, takoyaki, or furikake chips from the hot bar. Tables welcome solo diners without extra fees, plates vanish quickly, and dinner closes out on a slice of matcha cheesecake.

  • Individual Shabu-Shabu: Each seat features a personal induction element and self-serve broth options like miso and malatang.
  • Dedicated Sushi Line: An unlimited counter featuring fresh nigiri, specialty rolls, and torched wagyu.
  • Solo-Diner Friendly: Full all-you-can-eat access without multi-person party minimums or dining surcharges.
  • Hot Sides & Sweets: A hot food station serving karaage, takoyaki, and desserts like matcha cheesecake.

    I tried Tom Yum base - added a bit of everything but the standouts were delicate bunches of enoki mushrooms and thinly sliced pork

Before you head over

  • Arrive Right at Opening for Full Platters

    Arriving right at opening—11:30 AM for lunch or 5:00 PM for dinner—allows you to enjoy fully stocked, freshly prepared sushi platters and hot food stations before the rooms get crowded.

  • Grab Your Broth First at the Self-Serve Station

    When choosing hot pot, make the self-service broth station your very first stop to get your personal induction element boiling while you browse the sushi bar and ingredient counters.
