Quickly offers the traditional beef shabu shabu for purists, as well as a choice of chicken, pork, bacon, lamb, beef tripe, seafood or vegetarian for experimentalists. The meat is sliced paper thin, and takes seconds to cook in a hot pot of simmering broth, which comes in three variations - traditional Japanese dashi style, spicy Sichuan, and Korean kimchi. The meat is accompanied by a generous heaping of vegetables, tofu, mushrooms, crabsticks, fishballs, meatballs, corn, as well as udon and vermicelli.

Favorite Shabu Shabu in NYC!
by foodiesRus81
I go to this place as often as I can. The prices are reasonable, the service is quick, and the food is just great. Since Happy Shabu Shabu closed, I think this place has the most well-stocked sauce/seasonings bar in the city (if you want raw egg you have to ask, but it's free). There can be a wait at times but it's so worth it! I can't say enough good things about it. The only bummer is that recently they have started charging for broth flavoring (japanese or korean) whereas before it was free. I guess too many people (like me) ordered it and just ate the kimchi by itself. I've also been to the Quickly in Flushing and it's just as good and a bigger space.
After doing shabu shabu for several years, I've come to realize that the meat/poultry options are the best...seafood is just too prone to overcooking in this temperature broth. You can order some seafood options a la cart but I wouldn't recommend it.
Overall - if you know and like shabu shabu, this place is for you.
- Pros: Food, sauce and seasonings bar, quick service
- Cons: Bright lighting and overuse of the color orange make it look fast-foody

AMAZING... but busy!
by wisebrain
The food here is great and the shabu shabu is a pretty good deal with your free drink! The only problem is the restaurant is TINY, so you need to come at an off-peak time.
- Pros: Great food
- Cons: Crowded

Loved It

My friend and I went last night after reading all the reviews. I am so glad I tried it. I'd been going to another shabu shabu place in chinatown, but that closed down, so I haven't been for a while. This place is fairly priced, though if you eat a lot, beware, this is not the place for large appetites. The meals start at 12.95 for an assortment of veggies,a couple slices of meat, and noodles, and included in the meal is a bobba drink. The expensive part comes if you order additional sides such as meat or vegetables, as those plates aren't that small, and the prices do add up. I do like this place, its clean, the food is fresh, and presentation is nice. The place is small, despite having both an upstairs and downstairs, and tables don't open up quickly, so be ready for a wait if there are no tables. Overall, definitely would go back.
- Pros: clean, cute
- Cons: small space, tables arranged akwardly
