Shabu Zen is my favorite hot pot restaurant in Boston. I wish they had a location near where I live. The meat is fresh and flavorful, and they also have great vegetarian options. I love the experience of cooking our own food at the table and being able to have a relaxed conversation without feeling rushed. The service is excellent as well, with our waitress being prompt, friendly, and attentive. I highly recommend Shabu Zen!

We enjoyed the fresh, high-quality ingredients at this restaurant, especially the delicious soup broths like Mongolian spicy and tomato veggie. Our favorite dishes were the lamb and salmon. They also had a variety of vegetarian options available.

My girlfriend and I went for a late lunch/early dinner and the meal was perfect. The food was so good we actually ordered a second round of meat and vegetables.The service was amazing. I ended up accidentally leaving my baseball hat behind and our server actually ran out after us for about a block to give it back to me. Which was definitely above and beyond and very much appreciated.

I have been to quite a few Hot Pot places and I think this place is good for its value. It’s cheaper than some Hot pot places. My only complain with their broth is, it can get incredibly salty at the end.
