About us
Welcome to Shabu Shabu Kagayaki in the popular Montreal's Chinatown district. Here you will discover a traditional Japanese specialty known has Shabu Shabu The origins of Shabu Shabu cooking date back many years, where families gathered around a large hot pot for their evening meal. Shabu Shabu means splash-splash. The customers receive thin slices of raw meat and vegetables, which they cook quickly in a pot of boiling water. These are dipped in a sesame sauce or ponzu sauce (soy based sauce). After the meal, the remaining broth is used as a soup for noodle or rice. Today, the freshest meat and seafood available, delicious Japanese sauces and a bowl of rice is all that's needed for a classic Shabu Shabu meal and Kagayaki is the place to experience what Shabu Shabu is all about. Along with great food, Kagayaki offers a great friendly atmosphere, traditional decor and great fun whether you are with a group of friends, family or in couple. Great place to celebrate any type of small dinner parties. No one does Shabu Shabu Kagayaki style!

Japanese shabu in Chinatown. It's been great over the years, keep coming back. Same consistent quality food. Sukiyaki soup is the best for Angus beef lightly cooked & dipped in raw egg. Prime beef is great as more lean option.

Great shabu-shabu. Well served portions & really good. Loved the Konjac noodles as a keto & diabetic friendly option! The seating is very limited & it is all counter sitting.

They offer gluten free options. Best hot pot I tried so far, it can be pricey but the portions are big so you can share it & still be full, or take away the remaining.

The food was delicious, lots of options & you can mix the sauces, broth or spices for unique flavors. The servers checked in often & were a delight. Recommend the combo dishes as they have lots of different items to enjoy

My boyfriend & I's go-to place for Japanese hot pot ! The portions are good despite the recent price increase. The dessert is included with your meal combo, which is a plus. They usually offer ice cream, mochi ice cream or affogato as dessert options, which vary day to day. The only negative point is the saltiness of the broth; it makes us super thirsty after our meal every time. Nonetheless, I recommend this place for a cozy meal during the colder months of the year !

The atmosphere is super enjoyable & the experience is definitely nice. The service was really good & their staff is friendly. This place is definitely great for healthier food options, but it's nothing extraordinary. Although, I really liked the goma sauce & the spicy broth. I took the chicken breast combo but I think there were better options. It was also pretty pricey, but I think it was worth it, especially if you're going with friends, it's a super fun experience.

Restaurant de fondue original. Nourriture de qualité & bonnes options de boisson avec ou sans alcool. Idéal pour prendre son temps: il faut compter au moins une heure pour le souper. Il vaut mieux réserver si on est plus de deux ou trois.

We really enjoyed our hot pot experience. They offer a great selection of shabu shabu for 2. We went with an option that had both meats & seafood. I particularly enjoyed the raw egg that was part of the sauce. The place also has a wide selection of Japanese soda. I was pleasantly surprised when my yuzu soda came not in a bottle, but in a glass with yuzu peel in it. 🤩

Overall, quite pricey for the quality of food & service. Every plate of vegetable & rice is clearly prepared well in advance (the rice was quite dry, obviously not fresh, by the time we received it for example). It took well over 30 minutes for our order to be taken, & another 40 for food plates to arrive. Entrees & drinks were served last. My disappointment over the experience stems from their inability to cater to dietary requirements. I do not have particularly difficult ones to accommodate - I am lactose intolerant & have to avoid tofu for health concerns. Each meal comes with a plate of rice cakes & tofu. I asked to please not waste food & not to bring me the tofu since I won't be able to eat it, but if at all possible would like more rice cake to compensate. I was brought the tofu plate, being told substitutions were not possible (which is fair... but I still can't safely have tofu, & no other solution was offered). Then came dessert which was included. My options were a scoop of Oreo ice cream, or espresso with vanilla ice cream. Other menus had melon for dessert so I asked if I could possibly have that instead seeing as I am lactose intolerant, as they were told... I was replied "no". For a restaurant which has, on its menu, "please inform us of any food allergies or dietary requirements & we will be happy to accommodate you", it fell quite short of the mark.
