After reading several positive reviews, I have always wanted to try this Japanese steamboat called the Suki-ya Shabu shabu. The long waited opportunity arises when Lina wanted steamboat. Her loving husband decided to we should all go have steamboat and this is one offer I won’t say no to, for the best of both my favourite steamboat and Japanese fusion in one.
The layout is really neat and clean, with tidy table settings as well as a free flow of healthy choices of steamboat or in this case, the shabu shabu ingredients.
The healthy bar isn’t impressively filled with many varieties, but the choices of ingredients clearly skewed a little towards more vegetation and fungi instead of processed meats.
They have friendly choices which are suitable for the entire family. There is lots of vegetables, assorted mushrooms, tofu, seafood tofu, and cheese stuffed tofu fish, carrots, pumpkin, taro, etc. This place does not serve pork, so pork lovers might be a little disappointed with no pork.
However, the other free flow of meat slices are beef, lamb and chicken. Solid meat for the balance and healthy combination of diet, provided consumed at the right portion of course.
There are four types of soup of which we select two from Miso, Sukiyaki, Kimuchi and Shabu shabu. The kimuchi doesn’t appeal at the beginning, but towards the end of the meal, it simply gets better and better.
The right way to eat and savour the meal is printed clearly so study while you dine and you’ll probably learn some new ways of enjoyment in this. Things like how to enhance the sweetness in your soup, as well as the sequence to eating each ingredient and how to make the perfect dipping sauces.
And help yourself with the kimchi and sushi as appetizers while waiting for the soup to come to boil. The kimchi was not great though. And I wouldn’t pay much attention to the sushi as they weren’t really impressive either. Nevertheless, they come in handy if you are starving in between cooking time.
Lastly, the free flow dessert is unlike the usual steamboat buffet where there are more than few flavours. Here is only the green tea or chocolate soft ice cream with some topping choices like chocopops and nata de coco. There is option of honey cone to go with this as well. I must say that the choices are really few for a buffet in this restaurant, but the entire meal right up to the dessert was satisfying and delectable.
The price per pax varies for lunch and dinner. Lunch would cost you RM 29.80++ where else dinner is RM 33.80 for adults. Children from 5 to 12 years old would eat at 50% off adult prices and children below 5 years old eat for free. There are ala carte dishes as well, but I reckon the steamboat buffet is sufficient for a good meal.

Was just there today! If you are interested there’s a 50% off deal here http://webuy.com.my/deal_info.php?d_id=3164
Aww… Shall let my friend know about it. We might go again…Thanks. Did you like it? 🙂
I’ve been there a few times, each time with different people. I don’t mind it, though after a while everything kinda tastes the same. Hahaha.
Lol! That’s quite true…
I like to pair their miso n kimuchi soups…their sukiyaki is too sweet for me…haha =)
I enjoy dipping their meats into a self-concocted mixture of the ponzu, misotare and the uopn-request gomatare sauces…just lovely =)
Did u try the roasted rice soft-serve ice-cream? It’s nice! =)
Wow, if this sukiyaki is sweet to you, then you shouldn’t try sake’s sukiyaki. They are way sweeter than this one. I should try the miso next time. And gomatare sauces… 🙂
Thank god I never tried Sake’s sukiyaki…if not my hair will stand up for weeks!…hahaha 😛
I always love their Kimchi and Sukiya soup.. worth the money spend with so much meat given . .hehe
been to this place quite alot of times. .
It is my first time there, but won’t be the last I think. Before this I am just waiting and waiting. And waiting for someone to go with me, if it is not this one is working then it’s that one not free…lol! I guess they give so much meat cause there is no variety of seafood. And quite few choices of ingredients.
I’ve not tried yet! =_=
The soup looks delicious!
Try it, kelly dropped a link with 50% off. It’s worth trying.
Immediately I saw Kelly’s link, I clicked in. But they are Sold Out edi…. =_=
Oh o….. *bangs the head against the wall* …nevermind, they’ll probably have it somemore…we…WAIT! lol..
haha…ya..agreed!!
Have yet try this because no pork served lol
We were also quite dissapointed at the begining but at the end of it, my friends all agreed that it was ok even without pork.
I love a good steamboat meal minus the processed meats and balls whatsoever…this looks not too bad. Been some time since I visited Suki-ya
Suki-Ya will available franchise business in Kuantan ?
I am not too sure if they will expand to Kuantan. So far, they don’t even have a lot of outlets yet in klang valley. Let’s hope they do soon!
