Hiroshima, Japan｜しゃぶ葉 広島本通店

The five star rating we give this restaurant reflects the best possible value for money experience in Japan for an all you can eat restaurant. We attended their dinner service and chose the all you can eat option for about 3000yen including domestic/local protein. There’s also an additional all you can drink alcoholic option for about 1400yen or 300yen for non alcoholic options. Don’t come here if you’re after a traditional and authentic experience of Japan food. We came here because we eat hotpot back at home on a weekly basis and we came here for our weekly fix of vegetables. The protein is exactly what you can expect, thin sliced, great protein and it’s delicious. What is unique about this restaurant and we highly recommend trying is the different variety of broth flavours (about 8-10 flavours). We chose half yuzu salt (as a lighter broth option) and we went with the very spicy herbal medicinal option and this was on the less spicy side in comparison with the ha di lao, prepackaged broths we have at home. There are dozens of reviews over the years about how their staff may appear to be rude however being an all you can eat restaurant, a self service is what you’d expect. Great restaurant alternative if you’re not feeling like another okonomiyaki (which we know this city is famous for)

This place is excellent value for money. We tried all kinds of beef with four different broths and they were all delicious. The salad station is huge, with a variety of vegetables. There are also rice and noodles, and I liked that you could add as much or as little rice as you want. There were also so many sauces to choose from and a variety of drinks. The all you can eat/drink option is great also. The staff are friendly and very, very quick and efficient. We would place an order and within two minutes, they’d bring it out. The atmosphere was lively but not too loud. Would recommend.

Busy shabu shabu place in Hiroshima downtown. Had to wait 40 minutes. There are different options depending on what kind of meat you like. They have pork, beef and chicken. Sushi is included. There are all you can drink options, water is free. Quality of the food was good in my opinion, the vegetables buffet was the best! As dessert there is a waffle station and soft ice
