Do you like all-you-can-eat hot pot? I do!!! Spring Shabu has variety of vegetables, fish cakes and noodles. They do have a sauce station for you to mix your own dipping sauce and a huge rice cooker. I do not prefer eating rice at a buffet restaurant ??. For dessert, they have a vanilla and green tea soft serve machine. ? I will come back again because there's free parking! ?
We ordered clams in here and they were badly rotten. I used to love this place an brought my parents here for graduation, but I immediately regretted it. When I told the waiter about the issue they only replaced the soup without properly apologizing or anything. Really disappointed.
This place is by far the best shabu I’ve been to. Super clean and food is prepared with care. Get there early as the wait can be long.
Best AYCE hotpot in Boston. So many noodle options!! Love their Chinese mala broth option. All of this for a super affordable price. You can always find me going back for seconds at the soft serve machine. (;
Amazing for vegetarians as it has tons of options. The experience was reasonably priced at $19 per person. Loved the soft serve as well. Only thing would be that the broths were a bit on the bland side but this can be fixed with items from the sauce area.
I recently tried all you can eat hotpot for the first time, and overall thought it was a really good cost deal for great quality food - my favorite kind of place.They have a huge selection of veggies (I stacked up on 4 types of mushrooms) and a crazy selection of udon, ramen, AND freshly made noodles! I really liked that you were able to throw 5 different kinds of noodles in your pot and eat them all at once. They had ~8 types of fish balls (favorites: imitation crab meat and roe filling) so of course I tried all of them. Meat doesn’t come with the all you can eat deal, but I’d still recommend getting a couple plates. My bf and I really liked the beef belly and lamb. And you definitely can’t forget about the unlimited soft serve for dessert. The matcha soft serve was very creamy and not too sweet. I know there’s other hotpot places in Boston but, honestly, this place was good enough that I might just be coming back to this one from now on.
[+] Location is good, with plenty of parking. Restaurant is large and there are tables of all sizes. Atmosphere is not so noisy that you can’t have a conversation. We went on a busy Sunday evening, we’re told the wait was 60-90 minutes, but got a call eight minutes later. Our waitress was attentive and friendly.[+] Shabu-shabu is pretty decent, with all-you-can-eat plans for around $21 and kids pricing based on age. Cost of sliced meat, around $5, is separate.[+] Flavor is what you make it, and there is a variety of sauces—everything from goma to spicier non-Japanese types—and plenty of vegetables/noodles to balance out the soup.[–] While the selection of ingredients is satisfying, more than anything I didn’t like how thick the vegetables were cut. Daikon or carrots cut into 1cm half moons is about 4x the volume of what I’m used to. Other nitpicks include the fact that a lot of the ingredients at the bar were frozen or very cold, and because of that it made it difficult to control the temperature of the pot. Also, there was no akusukui (mesh ladle) for clearing the broth.
This all you can eat Shabu Shabu is a little misleading b/c meats and seafoods are not included in the all you can eat menu, only vegetables, noodles, fish balls, and starch are included. All meats and seafoods have to be ordered a la carte. That said, the prices for those are reasonable at around $5 a plate. The best part in my opinion is the green tea soft serve. It’s the perfect ending to a hot pot meal.
Clean, lots of choices for vegetables, noodles, and fish cakes. Large selection of dipping sauces. They don't take reservations. Was very busy, so go right when it opens. If you don't, they do have a nice system that will text you when your table is ready. All you can eat is reasonably priced at $19/person. This doesn't include meats like the thin sliced beef but get one as a side, it's worth it! It's nice that every person gets their own pot of hot pot.
Loved this place! Food was excellent, so many choices, love their special kids pricing bc it makes so much sense. Doesn’t cost a fortune for adults either. We can’t wait to go back!
