Shabu²

Shabu² takes its name and format seriously: shabu-shabu, the tabletop hot pot tradition built on simmering broth, thin-sliced proteins, and fresh vegetables. Set in Alief along West Sam Houston Parkway, it's drawn a following for the quality of its broth and the freshness of its ingredients, with regulars noting it's a solid starting point for anyone new to the hot pot format. Service has been described as inconsistent from visit to visit. The Infatuation scored it 8.2 out of 10.
