Shabu Shabu is the best Japanese Food
- Thread starter MetalLord
- Start date
It's definitely good, but I personally prefer top-tier yakiniku more than top-tier shabu shabu.
Have you had rei-shabu? It might be worth a try if you like shabu shabu.

You cook it in the oil pot in the center of the table.
tbh i dont really like interacting with food when i go to a restaurant, but its probably because i have no friends or family i go with
i just want the damn food to be done right and given to me, so i am not big on yakiniku or the idea of hotpot
that being said im sure it is real good and if i was having a get together i think it would be nice to do. otherwise i would just be like eff that just gimme a stew and i will eat it

It's not oil. The broth depends on the style, but you can even do plain water if you want.
Not in the slightest. Have you ever had pho tai?
You're more likely to over cook the meat.
Hot water cooks food.
Shabu is ok. Haven't been in a while, though. I'd rather get Korean BBQ or Taiwanese hot pot over it though.
I love shabu shabu. But there aren't any restaurants that serve it nearby.
How easy is it to prepare at home?
The meat is cooked to your liking. You are the one doing the cooking. The meat in those pictures is before it is cooked.

Very very easy. You can get the thin sliced meat from Asian grocery stores, and you can even get most of the vegetables from normal grocery stores. The Asian stores will also have the gas cookers, but you can find those at sports/camping stores.
Sukiyaki eventually gets too sweet for me.
i had okonomiyaki in hiroshima and i felt like i was being challenged by the sheer quantity of nonsense i had in front of me, like a car accident of foodstuffs covered in sauce and mayo
and then i felt very very tired
10/10 would do again
I only use dashi in a specific nabe. Sukiyaki uses basically sweetened soy sauce and shabushabu uses kelp.
The real answer is that japanese people have the best food in the world.
What is this called? I prefer char grilled... not a fan of pan fry like KBbq or shabu shabu
It's pretty good but I found it to be not worth the price tbh or at least not at the one I went to.
Yakiniku is the only real answer, but hotpot is alright.
(Seriously what?!)
Sure if you throw out the rules of science, the boiling broth doesn't cook meat at all!

Yakiniku
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yakiniku
You grill your own meats and veggies in a little grill embedded in your table. It's awesome.
These are thin slices of meat and the bowl in the middle brings the broth to a boil.
It's pretty easy to do as you can see the meat and it's typically pretty thinly sliced, so if it looks cooked on the outside it will be cooked well. The waiters will also explain and recommend how long to cook various items if needed.
Enjoy it! It'll be good.
I've been to Kobe, Japan, and I can almost guarantee you've never had Kobe beef if you think you've had Kobe while at shabu shabu. It's totally different.
Just try it and have a great time!
Which place? Is it a chain?
Biggest thing is to make sure everything is cooked fully. Some things cook really quickly, others will take a long time. And don't be an ass and put a bunch of raw meat on top of cooked vegetables just as someone is about to take them.
If it's Chinese style, they'll probably give you a little scooper. If it's Japanese style, you better up your chopsticks game.
I saw a Denys at like every corner. You still stand by that statement?
Well, I'm glad someone in this thread posted the correct answer.The real answer is Takoyaki
I fuckin' love Takoyaki.
i had takoyaki at the inari shrine in kyoto and the inside was too gooey for me to enjoy. not sure if thats normal or bad or regional, but i just cant get behind it
i thought it would be light and fluffy all the way through

Denny's in Japan is unsurprisingly superior to the wretched US version but if you go to Denny's anywhere that's on you.
Denny's in Japan is actually decent though. It's not great, but it's much better than chain restaurants in the US.

Family restaurants in Japan are all fairly similar in price/quality, so Jonathan's, Denny's, Sizeria, Cafe Gusto, Royal Host are all fairly similar in quality/cost and each are better than the Chili's, TGIF, Applebees, etc.. in the US.
I knew Americans that would go to McDonalds Japan (even though there were several much better fast food chains) a few times per week. I went to Denny's a few times while in Japan as a friend liked it a lot, but there are always about a million better options near any train station.
