Shabu Shabu Bangkok

We’ve been wondering about Shabu Shabu Bangkok but always turned to Sweet Home café just because we know it is good. The only real turn off about Sweet Home Café is the looong wait every single time we go. We came to Shabu Shabu Bangkok on a Friday night at 6:30 hoping to just be seated right away. We were right and noticed that this place was not packed at all, in fact there were only three other tables dining. This is a hot pot style restaurant with a separate a la cart menu also available with all the classic Thai dishes.

Now on with the hot pot goodness! Wehad a choice of chicken, beef, vegetarian, curry, or tom yum broth, and of course being die-hard tom yum lovers, we chose that one. We ordered the vegetable combo, which was just a bunch of different vegetables for $14. We also ordered raw beef and pork dumplings.

The hot pot came with five individual sauces, my favorite was the ginger garlic sauce. The soup broth comes with free refills so it felt like eating a huge bowl of hearty tom yum soup that never ended. The pork dumplings had a decent amount of pork filling.

This place does not come with free rice, and each small bowl of rice was 2 bucks. I guess I’m only complaining because of being spoiled by Sweet Home’s free carb-fillers. This place does offer brown rice though for all you healthees.

This restaurant has interesting Thai inspired décor and makes a great date spot. The bill came out to be a little more than what we usually paid at Sweet Home Café. All in all, if you want some hot pot action but don’t want to be bumping into everyone while getting your food, check out Shabu Shabu Bangkok!
