Monsoon Shabu Shabu

A really good Asian fusion hotpot place with Japanese Shabu shabu hotpot style and a variety of sauce bases ranging from mild to spicy. I would say the best highlight here is that if you don't want to add your meat/veg into the hotpot soup you can add it into the grill. This concept is a very good one and an interesting one depending on your taste. Would definitely recommend this place for awesome Asian hotpot. And even the prices are way cheaper than some other hotpot places.

A decent shabu restuarant overall with Vegan option, with lot of potential for the improvement. My family of 5 went for dinner dine in on Saturday, 5:30pm first session. Started with vege, beef and seafood plates one each. Ended up adding more sides. There are 6 tables with one shabu pot/induction set on each table. Pros: - decent shabu dine in place for 2 people - flexible with booking time change as long as the sessions are avail. - hall serve person/manager was highly attentive and helpful with adding orders and choice guides, flexible in adding orders. - 4 types of soup base to choose from, unlimitted refill for the soup it said - Vegan friendly if vegans book for seperate table due to one shared pot/soup base and tongs. Tom yum soup for Vegan with vege plate(tofu) is good choice for one vegan person. Strongly recommends: - Pre booking essential, as many good restaurants were all booked for the dinner. - Book for the earliest session for dine in as most of the plate/ingredient prep & serve can be somewhat slow compared to other fast cycle shabu shops, I'm from Sydney. - Tom-yum soup base was good for the seafood plate, pork-bone soup base was bland and I dont recommend. - each plate choice says 1~2 ppl but to my heavy eating family it was 0.3~0.5 portion. my Vegan wife enjoyed her vege plate in full portion and taste. If you aim to enjoy shabu as a side for the casual drinks (wine/beer/etc), it will be good ok. - If you have group of 4 or above, and if you wish to continously feed your group instead of waiting idle for the ingredients, Book tables per 2 people so you can have more than 1 pot for your group. They might not give you 2 tables if you book one session for your group. I would give 5/5 if manager gave us 2 tables when i requested, since table is not suitable for 5 pp. there was vacant table for one hour. also, the shabu ingredients could be served twice faster.

Loved it. Went with a mixed group including young and old, vegetarian and not and it was fabulous. Super personable waiter who explained everything and helped make the meal a great night to remember. Seafood platter with scallops, salmon, prawns and squid (with noodles and veg) was great value. Vegetarian mock meats were some of the best the vego's had tried. Fun. 10/10 recommend.
