It was surprisingly expensive. There were various all-you-can-eat courses available, but I wanted to try the beef tongue, misji, and Iberico pork, so I chose the second from the top, which cost 2,999 yen per person (excluding tax). Since it exceeded my budget of 2,500 yen, I only ordered water without any drinks. I chose two types of soup for an additional 100 yen for two people, and with a 3% discount coupon, the total came to 6,388 yen (including tax). The cost performance of the course depended on how hungry you were. We waited for the opening at 11:00 am, and the all-you-can-eat lasted until 4:00 pm. We selected the course and soup from the tablet menu. Initially, the staff prepared it for us, but the meat was served by a robot, while vegetables, drinks, noodles, curry, and dessert were in a buffet style for self-service. We stayed from 11:04 to 13:37, about 150 minutes, and focused on eating meat. We had 4 plates of beef tongue, 5 plates of misji, and 3 plates of Iberico pork, 3 plates of pork belly, 2 plates of xiaolongbao, and 1 plate each of pork loin and domestic beef, totaling 19 plates of meat without leaving any leftovers. We started with 3 large plates of vegetables, no noodles, had 4 plates of curry as a sauce, and tried about 6 different sauces for the shaved ice. We chatted a lot in between and were able to eat slowly.

Shabuya, first visit. Many solo diners, good for lunch. Vegetables are neatly arranged, but hygiene is a bit concerning. Variety of meat, broth, and dipping sauces, unsure of the best choice for oneself. Appreciate the abundance of vegetables.

It was Saturday evening, so I made a reservation just in case. We ordered the beef and pork course. You order using a tablet on the table, and the meat and sushi are brought to you by robots! It felt very futuristic. Vegetables and dipping sauces are self-served from a salad bar, and masks and plastic gloves are required. We chose hot pot soup and Japanese-style soup. I went with my two kids, and we ordered two servings of each type of meat. The kids have big appetites, so the food disappeared quickly. When our plates piled up, the staff would come to clear them. As the restaurant got busier, it took longer for the staff to come when called. By the time we left, the restaurant was full with customers even lining up to the stairs. Everyone ate to their heart's content, and the bill was surprisingly affordable, under 3,000 yen.

Today I had a one meal a day + banana! Hello, this is Okahiro! I went to an all-you-can-eat restaurant for the first time in a while! ◎ Beef tongue & Kagoshima black pork all-you-can-eat course ¥2345 ◎ Choice of 4 types of hot pot broth ¥220 ◎ Drink bar ¥249 There are 7 types of broths to choose from! I chose Olive oil scented lemon broth, Chinese herbal medicine hot pot broth, Authentic sukiyaki broth, and Hokkaido scallop and kelp soy milk broth. I don't usually go to all-you-can-eat places, but the quality of the meat has improved significantly compared to those of the past. This is the best cost performance! I want to come again! In this course, you can eat all-you-can-eat beef tongue, black pork loin, beef, pork shoulder loin, pork belly, and also beef ribs, chicken, all-you-can-eat! Vegetables were also self-service. Happiness is when your stomach is filled with meat. This is an all-you-can-eat shabu-shabu with amazing cost performance!

Suikaraku Group's shabu-shabu restaurant concept. With a focus on high-end dining experiences for occasions like funerals, they have proven the potential of shabu-shabu with their Kisoji and On-Yasai casual dining options. Now, they have entered the market with a new concept, offering all-you-can-eat shabu-shabu for lunch at 1,199 yen plus tax. This is a bold move, appealing to families seeking a safe and reliable dining option. However, they face tough competition from nearby restaurants like Nozawana Sushi. It's a fierce battle for customers in this shared space, but it also creates a sense of collaboration in attracting diners.

At Ikebukuro Sunshine 60, there is a shabu-shabu all-you-can-eat restaurant. The interior has table seating, etc. The lunch menu that caught my interest was the all-you-can-eat three-layer pork belly course for adults at 1,199 yen. For elementary school students, it's 899 yen, and for toddlers (4 years and older), it's 599 yen. *Tax not included* +100 yen on holidays. On the last holiday of summer vacation, I went to the movies with my daughter, and then met up with my husband for shopping and lunch. We were originally planning to check out a different shabu-shabu restaurant, but we happened to come across this one nearby, so we decided to give it a try. We opted for the cheapest three-layer pork belly all-you-can-eat course. The default soup was "basic white miso," but we chose the sukiyaki soup from the "your choice of broth" options. There is a vegetable section where you can choose your vegetables separately for the hot pot and salad. Even though there were various vegetables available, we only picked the usual ones. They also offer rice, curry, udon, ramen, etc. The ramen is the fresh type that you put in the hot pot. For dessert, there is a waffle maker where you can make your own waffles. They also have items like shiratama (rice flour dumplings) and soft serve ice cream. I found making the waffles surprisingly difficult. The three-layer pork belly is all-you-can-eat, with the default being three plates per person, and you can order more by calling the staff with a bell. There were about six different types of dipping sauces available. The sukiyaki soup came with a raw egg. Since the three-layer pork belly is thinly sliced, it cooks quickly. It was light, so we ended up eating it all quickly. The group of women at the next table, who had ordered an expensive course, strangely didn't eat much of the vegetables or meat and just chatted the whole time. Since it was a holiday, there was an 80-minute time limit, which made for an interesting sight. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal in about 60 minutes and left. By the time we left, there was a line forming outside the restaurant.

At Sunshine, after visiting the aquarium, it became nighttime and we had an unusual dinner outside. I usually prefer to cook at home during the evening, but this time we had no choice. Luckily, the restaurant had a variety of vegetables and fruits in addition to the main dishes. The prices were surprisingly cheap. I didn't have high expectations for the meat, so we opted for the all-you-can-eat pork (shoulder and belly) course for 1800 yen. This included unlimited vegetables, noodles, curry, and dessert. The vegetables included okra, bamboo shoots, and wood ear mushrooms. They also had about six different dipping sauces for shabu-shabu and unlimited condiments to keep things interesting. Personally, I would have preferred a slightly lighter soba broth. The quality of the meat was decent for an all-you-can-eat restaurant, and the prices make it a good option for students.

I visited Shabu Leaf in Ikebukuro for lunch. Even though it was July, Tokyo was experiencing rainy weather, so I decided to have some warm food and went for shabu-shabu. I was seated at a table and enjoyed the all-you-can-eat shabu-shabu lunch. I made my own dipping sauce and tried various flavors with the tender and delicious meat. I also had some vegetables which helped warm me up on the cold day. For dessert, I customized it to my liking and left feeling full and satisfied. Thank you for the delicious meal.

Ikebukuro during the day. Planned to have all-you-can-eat pizza at Shakey's, but the line was too long. Skipped it. Everywhere around here is crowded. Walked quite a bit and didn't feel like eating anything in particular. Ended up finding Shabu-shabu on the upper floor of a building. It was my third time at Shabu-shabu. I prefer pork belly over beef, so I opted for the pork belly all-you-can-eat option (it's cheap). Honestly, I should have gone for the vegetable all-you-can-eat option, but I ordered 10 slices of meat anyway. I enjoyed the fatty cuts of meat, as well as the enoki and shimeji mushrooms. The thinly sliced green onions were also a nice touch. It's good to indulge in a hearty meal like this once in a while.

This day was a holiday. I met up with a friend in Ikebukuro to watch the movie "Before the Coffee Gets Cold". After getting our tickets, we decided to have a light lunch at this place. It was perfect for my friend who wanted a hearty meal and for me who was on a diet and wanted something healthy. The restaurant offers a lunch buffet for only 1199 yen, which is a steal! You can eat plenty of vegetables (*´ω｀*) In addition to vegetables, they also have meat, dessert, curry, and more, making it perfect for when you want to fill up your stomach cheaply. Due to time constraints, we could only stay for an hour, but we were very satisfied with the lunch. Looking back on the day I ate to make some space before my trip, while organizing my photos. Part 2 of the review.

It's a chain restaurant, but the staff were polite and nice. It can get crowded during lunchtime, but on weekdays you can usually get a table. There was no time limit, and you could choose different types of meat at different prices, which was nice. In addition to shabu-shabu, they also had sweets, curry, and udon.

I went to Shabu Shabu with 10 members of my company. We could only split into groups of 5, so it was a tight space. We had all-you-can-eat beef and pork Shabu Shabu with sushi for 2099 yen (excluding tax), and all-you-can-drink alcohol for 1099 yen. The dipping sauce was ponzu with green onions and garlic. The pork and beef were wrapped in cabbage and leeks, dipped in ponzu, and enjoyed with beer afterwards. It was a blissful time, but I was already full after the first hour...

Lunch on weekdays is unlimited time and very economical!

Probably the most accessible and cost-effective shabu-shabu chain restaurant in Tokyo. Sometimes I come alone just because I really want to eat shabu-shabu. Today, I went to this place near my office. It's not too crowded for lunch on weekdays, but about 80% of the tables were occupied, showing how popular it is.

This popular restaurant can get crowded during peak hours, but they offer more than just shabu-shabu - they also have sweets and curry. You can choose the broth and different types of meat such as chicken, pork, and beef for shabu-shabu, which makes the experience enjoyable.

The food was delicious.
