We used this chain restaurant for a banquet with a group of about 20 visitors from Asia. They chose the restaurant, saying they have used this chain several times before. The reasons were: 1. flexibility (completely okay to bring your own drinks) 2. you can serve yourself vegetables, making it easy. The hot pot course with all-you-can-drink was 5,500 yen (tax included). Everyone was satisfied with the volume since it was all-you-can-eat. However, seniors like me can't eat that much. By combining all-you-can-eat and self-service, they aim to streamline operations and make a profit by quickly turning over customers with time limits, which is a great business strategy. Considering the quality of the meat, the cost performance is quite good. However, the bland service might not appeal to everyone, not just Japanese people. Thank you for the meal.

The other day, when I was wandering around Shinjuku Sanchome, I felt cold and wanted to eat hot pot, so I decided to stop by this restaurant! The interior was clean and it was crowded! I ate too much because it was all-you-can-eat! The meat, vegetables, etc. were delicious! I will visit again!

Meeting up with a friend. Asked what I wanted to eat - Italian, Chinese... I'm fine with anything. I prefer to be taken to a place I wouldn't think of myself. Sent a message on LINE, maybe I should have mentioned buffet as well, but oh well. Met up and asked where to go, maybe a buffet? That's good. Ended up at "Nabezo." It was a new place for me. Took the elevator up and entered. Didn't have a reservation, but they let us in. Maybe because it was still early at 6:30 on a weekday. The restaurant had a very clean interior. Sat down. The staff spoke to my friend in English. Surprised me! I guess I look like that. Ordered the Nabezo course. They bring the meat - beef shoulder, beef belly, pork shoulder, pork belly. Vegetables and rice were self-serve. Also got the all-you-can-drink option. My friend doesn't like alcohol, so I had it to myself. You can choose two soups. I picked sukiyaki and spicy kimchi. Put in a bunch of vegetables. Noticed the kimchi soup didn't bubble much, maybe if the soup was warmer from the start. Being frugal, I mostly ate the meat. The quality was good. Ate a little bit of vegetables. Skipped the rice. Since it was all-you-can-drink, I had plenty of highballs. Ordered more but they forgot. Maybe I was drinking too much? They apologized and brought it. Tried the ice cream my friend recommended, it was delicious. The apple sherbet was good too, but my favorite was the vanilla with lots of milk. Full stomach, time to leave. Some customers were waiting by the end. At the register, they apologized for the alcohol mishap. No problem, I was drinking a lot towards the end. It's nice to hear those words. I'd like to go back again.

I think Nabezo is a reliable shabu-shabu chain restaurant. I didn't really think about reviews and just enjoyed the meal, but I had a great time. The staff at the restaurant were very attentive, noticing right away when our drinks or meat were running low. They even told us the best timing to lift the shabu-shabu meat and taught us how to blend condiments like daikon radish, green onion, and a little garlic. The restaurant was clean and the all-you-can-drink (without beer) plan was around 1000 yen, which makes me want to come back again.

Sometimes I use the restaurant "Nabezo" for lunch. A few months ago, I went to the Sunshine Street branch in Ikebukuro for lunch and thought it was delicious, so this time I visited the branch in Shinjuku Sanchome. I had visited this branch only once before a long time ago, so this was my second visit. Even though I was dining alone, I had made a reservation in advance for the lunch course at Nabezo. Since the GoTo Eat campaign, I have found it less bothersome to make reservations than before, and I have come to understand the importance of reservations for the restaurant, so I try to make reservations whenever possible. I arrived after 12 pm, and the restaurant was not crowded. Japanese shabu-shabu is popular among foreign visitors, so I imagine the restaurant used to be bustling with inbound tourists a few years ago. I hope that the former lively atmosphere will return to the restaurant... I pondered over such unnecessary matters while enjoying my lunch. I ordered two plates of beef chuck roast and one plate of pork chuck roast. I prefer eating a lot of vegetables, so I don't order a large amount of meat. There are more affordable set menus for lunch, but those come with one plate of beef and one plate of pork, so I hesitated between those and the all-you-can-eat course here. The Nabezo course includes a drink bar and ice cream, so I opted for this course. The meat looked good and seemed to be of good quality. I don't like fatty meat, so I like the lean meat at Nabezo. The vegetables are displayed on a buffet table in the center of the restaurant, and you can serve yourself wearing plastic gloves. I couldn't find many red-colored vegetables like carrots, but there were cherry tomatoes. The vegetables were mostly green or white, lacking a bit of color. Perhaps due to the limited number of customers, the selection of vegetables seemed a bit strict. I noticed thick slices of sweet potatoes, so I decided to have them as dessert later. I was pleasantly surprised to find shredded konjac in addition to macaroni, as I prefer konjac over macaroni! I also took plenty of tofu, shrink spinach, and other healthy ingredients piled on my plate. And of course, I couldn't miss out on the delicious udon here! The boiled udon in a small bowl was wrapped in plastic, and it had a great texture and taste, impressing me. The service was good, and they asked frequently if I needed additional meat. The manager-like man was attentive throughout. However, the box seat where I sat had very dim lighting, making it hard to see the food clearly. Eating in the dim light felt a bit awkward. But overall, it was a very pleasant lunchtime in a spacious and clean restaurant, with the great service making it a good experience. I would definitely consider visiting again when I feel like having shabu-shabu.

I had sukiyaki for lunch with my girlfriend and her friend after a long time. My heart was pounding with excitement for the sukiyaki. It was all-you-can-eat, so I ended up eating a lot. I was so focused on eating that I only have one photo, but I hope it can be helpful to someone. Unfortunately, my friend had to catch a flight, so we couldn't stay long. Oh, I wish I could have eaten more at the all-you-can-eat buffet. There was also gelato available, but I only had a bite... The Korean female staff was very friendly and made our lunchtime enjoyable. Thank you! I hope to visit again when I have more time. I'll give credit to the staff for their great service. I highly recommend this place to those who can stay and enjoy their time!

To ward off the ending winter, I went to a hot pot restaurant called "Nabezo". They offered two types of soup, shabu-shabu and kimchi, with all-you-can-eat pork and beef belly and loin. Vegetables and condiments were available in a buffet style, while the meat was brought to your table when you ordered. Don't underestimate the quality of all-you-can-eat, it was quite delicious. There were various condiments to enjoy different flavors. The atmosphere of the restaurant was relaxed, and I was able to enjoy my meal in a cozy booth. The service from the staff was also great. About half of the customers were foreigners.

When I called, the operator answered with just "yes" or "no", which was frustrating. However, the staff and the atmosphere at the restaurant were excellent, so that was disappointing! The food was also very delicious!

Enjoyed delicious beef tongue! Ate so much that I became full.

I chose the 5000 yen course. It was filled with domestic beef and pork. I wish there were more varieties of vegetables, rice dishes, curry, etc. It was delicious.

I went without a reservation on a regular night! Surprisingly, it was quite crowded and I had to wait for about 20 minutes. The interior of the restaurant is quite clean! I chose dashi kombu + sukiyaki for the broth! Vegetables and meat are all-you-can-eat. The vegetables lacked a bit of freshness, some had a slight earthy taste... enoki mushrooms and leeks were delicious though. The quality of the meat is okay for all-you-can-eat. Most importantly, both the sukiyaki and the dashi were mediocre... I hope they improve the broth a bit more...

The store was clean and the vegetables were quickly replenished. The staff members were all smiling even with masks on, providing excellent customer service. They even went above and beyond to celebrate my birthday, accommodating my various requests with grace and preparing a lovely plate for me. Thanks to the wonderful people at the restaurant, I was able to have a great celebration. I couldn't thank them in person, so I wanted to express my gratitude here! I would love to visit this wonderful restaurant again!

It was delicious, the staff was friendly. Great! I want to go again.

The staff is amazingly fast and the food is delicious and beautifully presented. Will definitely come back if I can overlook the fact that it's a chain restaurant.

I crave it every 3 months and always visit with my friends. I like it because it's cheap and you can eat a lot. If you don't expect too much, you can be satisfied here.

The taste is good, the environment is clean, and I plan to go eat there again.
