SHABURI JAPANESE SHABU SHABU – Grand Indonesia

The number of shabu-shabu restaurants is slowly growing. But fortunately, it’s very good for us as we are an avid soup lover and shabu-shabu. Especially shabu-shabu with all you can eat of good beef! In this post, we’re going to share your experience at one of our favorite all you can eat shabu-shabu restaurant at, Shaburi. We also give a try to their new Tom Yum soup.

Shabu-shabu is a Japanese cooking style where dinners cook thin slices of meat quickly in boiling broth and then dip them in the sauce. Shaburi serves all you can eat shabu-shabu with pricing range as below:

Beef Shabu-Shabu – IDR 168.000 Senior / Kids IDR 89.000
Special Beef Shabu-Shabu – IDR 228.000 Senior / Kids IDR 131.000
Shaburi Wagyu Shabu-Shabu – IDR 318.000 Senior / Kids IDR 179.000

Shaburi also has some of Dashi Soup that you can choose: Original Konbu Soup, Hot Miso Soup, Chicken Collagen Paitan, Sukiyaki, Soy Milk Miso Soup, Japanese Herbal Soup, and the new one is Tom Yum. Every soup has its own character. And its fit with the meat. In this time, we’ve ordered Beef Shabu-Shabu with Tom Yum Soup.

Surprisingly, the Tom Yum soup is so damn good! Rich of tom yum flavor and coconut milk. This is more like the combination of Soto and Tom Yum. LOL.. But seriously, it’s crazily good!

What we like about to dine at Shaburi is we can get our own pot for our soup. So if you eat with your friends or family, you can have a different kind of soup and you can try each other. The soup bases were put in personal-sized hot pot bowls, then placed on top on of an induction cooktop. The rest of the ingredients are served on a buffet table in the middle of the restaurant. They are filled with vegetables, mushrooms, fish fillet, meatballs, tofu, udon, and condiments. There are also sushi rolls and tempura available. So we filled the plate with what we wanted to eat and returned to our table to prepare our dinner. FYI, you are given 90 minutes to finish your meal, and excessive leftover charges apply.

We found out that the induction cooktop is really good, especially when it comes to cooking process. It only takes less than 15 seconds boil soup to get that perfectly cooked medium-rare beef!

After the beef was cooked, don’t forget to dip it in the Shaburi special sauce. There are Gomadare (Sesame Sweet Tare), Genghis Khan Sauce (Japanese Fruity Tare), and Ponzu (Japanese Traditional Tare). You can take the sauce on the buffet table with many selections of condiments such as chili chunks, sliced radish, minced garlic, sesame oil, onion, etc. We’ve tried all the sauces and our favorite falls on the Ponzu Sauce with additional garlic and onion. All the side dish and other Buffet menu are also good to try. Don’t missed their Sushi and Karage.

The price that you paid is already included drinks and dessert. So, spare your tummy for dessert. From hot to cold, from tea to coffee are available at the drink counter. The drinks were also unlimited and you can finish it off with ice cream. Shaburi has two type of Ice Cream, the vanilla, chocolate, and mix. We had a mixed ice cream for our dessert and it is so good.

Overall, Shaburi definitely the best Japanese Shabu-Shabu restaurant so far with their beef quality, selection of soups and buffet, drink, and dessert. Almost everything is good, or even excellent and the price was reasonable too. Really got addicted to their Tom Yup Sup. We’ll come back for sure!
