The hot pot is average. It’s almost enough for three people to eat two set meals. If one person eats all the meat, it’s still a bit much! Snowflake beef and rib-eye beef are both pretty good!

The Service was terrible. Got declined to sit at a table for two people while overall was pretty empty.

Lovely hot pot place. The sauces are pretty simple--soy sauce and all the garlic/spring onion you could wish for. The assorted mushrooms were so good and fresh. We had three broths--tomato and beef, szechuan spicy, and chinese herbal--all very good. Very good quality tuna from the raw bar, and previously I've had excellent sake from here.

Great place to eat. We shared 3 jumbo main courses between 5 people and all left feeling full and satisfied. The tonkotsu broth was very good

The utensils were not clean and assorted vegetables were not fresh. Prime rib was not bad.
Maybe I had too much expectations since the reviews were overall positive.

The quality of the beef and pork was very good, until I came to eat it a second time.

Can’t go wrong with ShabuZen in Allston. Always my go to hot pot spot with a party or solo. I am obsessed with the Tom Yum Broth and Boneless Short Rib combo with udon noodles. If I’m hAngry, I also order the sautéed beef tongue (don’t overthink it and just try it) Add that to your bucket list. :P Watermelon Smoothie to top it off. Refreshing. There’s a parking lot in the back and plenty of street parking.

The veggie portions were already small, and to add to it, the veggies at the bottom were bad, making them inedible. It was a disappointing experience. But I must admit that the broth tasted good.

Really fun experience to share with family or friends. The selection of food was great. Between five people we ordered prime grade sirloin beef (jumbo), seafood supreme, and a regular size chicken main course. That was plenty of food. The spicy tom yum soup base was my favorite!
