This restaurant is a fabulous place to eat Hot Pot. I've been to many, and this is one of the best! Very comfortable, very fresh, tasty food and sauces. You'll enjoy it!!!

it's ok. if you like hot pot and cooking your own food. they bring out a lot of food but skimp on the stuff you like. the server dropped a couple bundles of noodles from our plate and kicked them under the table instead of cleaning them up and didn't bring out more to replace them. there was a lot of food left on the table because it wasn't what we wanted to eat, it just came with the order. I don't think we had enough to eat. what we had was only ok. I really don't like cooking my own food or communal food so I wouldn't choose this on my own.

Quick service, great array of options, including for vegans and vegetarians. Meat and vegetables are fresh. The broth is flavorful. They have lots of seating so the wait is never too long

Fresh, high-quality ingredients with some delicious soup broths - we got Mongolian spicy and tomato veggie. The lamb and salmon were our favorites. Lots of vegetarian options as well.

A standout option for Hotpot in Allston. The restaurant is large with a full menu and bar. Soups range from spicy Szechuan to flavorful mushroom. There is a large variety of additions to any hotpot meal. Staff are friendly, attentive, and fast.

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.

Went to Shabu Zen for hot pot as a delayed Chinese New Year celebration. On a Saturday night unless you come really early like at 5pm, be prepared for a wait of 30-40 minutes. The service is a little slow and the chatter from patrons can be loud and fills the room. On the positive side, once the food arrives, things move fast. We ordered 3 of the meat combo dishes. The beef, lamb, pork and chicken were of high quality and there were lots of vegetables with each order. They have a good selection of sake and beer and the coconut sorbet was a great way to top off the meal. Parking was hard to find and the small restaurant parking lot fills up fast. All in all it was a very good experience.

One of the best restaurants I've ever been to. Came here with a friend to celebrate my 22nd birthday, and their 21st birthday. The staff were super kind, and very helpful. As a picky eater, even I loved their food and kept wanting more! I highly recommend this place, and I look forward to coming back in the future!

★★★★☆ 4/5
The broths were really good, especially the Tom Yum and Szechuan. The meat is nicely cut, good thickness but I'd prefer a bit more on the portions. We ordered the combo and it came with veggies platter and noodles. Drinks are cute, most of them are really sweet so if you have a sweet tooth, this is for you.
