Shabu Fondue
In: Food
5 Jan 2006
Jessica and I went out for fondue tonight at a restuarant in Chandler called Shabu Fondue.
She had been there once before with my mom and sister (I was sick that day), and so it was my first time to try out this place. For what I would assume would be a reasonable price, we got our three courses over a period of ninety minutes.
We started with a cheddar cheese course that was served with cubes of bread, apple slices, and tortilla chips. The dip had a slight kick but was nice and smooth.
For the entree Jessica chose chicken, while I got half shrimp and half prime rib. You boil the meats in flavored broth to meet your tastes. Add some veggies, rice, and several flavorful sauces and it was a nice middle section.
We finished it all off with the chocolate course that comes with different fruit and snacks. It was definitely the course Jessica most looked forward to and it was a nice way to finish off the meal.
We left full but not stuffed. We would recommend it to those looking for something a little out of the ordinary. At the very least, one should stop by for the dessert course.

To those people who has had shabu-shabu before.…don’t go to this place. First sign of disaster waiting — NO JAPANESE in sight. Absolutely NOT nearly close to what shabu-shabu dining is all about. It is so WESTERNIZED. No noodles, no daikon radish, and the sauces.….it was truly aimed to please the masses without paying any due respect to the Shabu Shabu authenticity. The vegetables were frozen. And what was that they placed on the water before it started to boil? Smelled like italian seasoning to me. The white rice I ate was not even fully cooked. IT was an ultimate disappointment. Saving grace for the visit — our waiter. Everything else.…..HORRIFIC. No offense — but for the 1st-timers to shabu-shabu, they might find this restaurant cool with all decor and music.…but the food was TERRIBLE

I was excited to try Shabu fondue as I have been to the Melting Pot Many times and have made my own fondue on several occasions and wanted to see if the “Mildly priced fondue” was worth it. It was NOT!!!!! Save your money or better yet double it and go to an decent fondue restaurant. The Service was atrocious First, they brought us the wrong Cheese fondue and then trying to convince us that we would love it rather than just fixing the mistake. Second, the Flavor of the cooking style of which there was only one was non-existant. Finally, the Server over charged us for our entry and then disagreed with us when we brought it to his attention. I would never go back to this place and would advise those of you considering it to avoid this place at all costs. If you want fondue spend the extra money and go someplace else.

This place is fabulous. More moderately priced than the Melting Pot and since the meat course is thin you don’t have to worry about food poisoning! (I have had 3 friends all become incredibly sick after eating at the “other” place). Cool trendy atmosphere and delicious food. What else could you ask for!
