Reviews for Shabu & Mein in Cambridge, MA
Super polite staff, but the service was very slow! I had very high expectations from this place! I love ramen, but the curry... ramen here tasted very different from other curry ramens I?ve tasted before! It was like an Indian based curry rather than Thaibased curry. I may go back here and try the hot pot or other food, but I don?t think I?ll try the ramen again! Read more
Awesome place to try hotpot. The appetizers were really good, spicy wings and calamari are a must try. We had cucumber mojito... and land of rising sun cocktails which were pretty tasty. For the hotpots there are a variety of options available. The staffwere friendly and helped with the menu. Definitely going back again. Read more
Tasted great! We both ordered extra ramen! Highly recommend bromance if you like spicy ramen.
Went for the lunch buffet special, we got the $49 tier which had many options. I was very excited to have the choice of three... soup bases, pictured is; Miso, Tom Yum, and Spicy Szechuan. At first the spicy Szechuan was so spicy to the point we weresneezing but unreal flavor. I personally did not try the tom Yum but the miso was great!! Awesome flavor, decent prices, greatselections! I do wish there was a napkin holder on the table, we definitely needed more than one napkin ???? Overall greatexperience & will return. Read more

This was my first vegetarian hot pot experience and i loved it ????. They provide 2 broths so that you can enjoy 2 different... flavors. Lots of sider and veggies options to add. I tried spicy schezwan and vegetable broth. Definitely try these siderspotato, sprouts, noodles, silken tofu, edmame Momo's and corn. Didn't like mochi rice balls. Place has a really good vibe andthe service was really good. Read more
We tried the hot pot with both the house pork broth and tom yum. The house broth was very mild and imparted almost no flavor... when used for cooking. The tom yum with its spicy citrus sour favors was good and we used it for almost everything. Portionsize and value was was good. Seafood Supreme for two at $32 had a nice selection including a lobster tail and included anadditional 6 large tasty shrimp with assorted fish and seafood. Napa was good and we tried corn as a change up. Seafooddumplings were a nice, inexpensive add on. They added dividers to the tables for small parties and do seat small parties at thesame, long table. Having a reservation was key, and service was friendly. They did a good job of explaining the process andrecommending cooking times for each item. Fun, interactive and tasty. Kudos to the cook ;) Most significant issue was thatthey served people at outside tables and used the side door next to our table frequently causing a very strong blast of coldair. Good thing we had hot soup. Read more
High quality and generous portions of ingredients. Vegetable and meat platters were fresh. The spicy mala and tonkotsu soup were... really tasty! Read more
