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!

I was suprised to see that owner sat on the table while customer was eating.
It's NEVER happen if this japanese shabushabu restaurant was managed by a japanese owner.
We are wondering why tha google review is this much high...
Beef was delicious but I don't think quantity is enough, As I am a japanese , of course I know shabu shabu is a kind of luxuary food but for the price,there are tons of restaurants that give more value.
A japanese waitress treated us very well ,I am happy that she shows japanese traditional behavior.

First time trying Shabu Shabu. Great atmosphere & friendly service, though they did feel understaffed. We got their new omakase set for 39$ & the sukiyaki broth. The portions seemed small at first glance but turned out to be surprisingly filling. The broth was really good but on the salty side, had to drink lots of water. Be careful not to leave your ingredients soaking in the broth for too long! Overall I'd come back here for a special occasion!

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.

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. 🤩

I haven’t had Shabushabu long time but the restaurant remind me clearly my hometown taste. My Korean friends first time here & love it! very fresh, high quality ingredients! the Sesame dipping definitely Japanese style. very recommend.

Une belle découverte! Nous nous dirigions vers notre habituel "spot" à soupe tonkinoise lorsque j'ai proposé de faire changement & d'essayer un nouvel endroit. Nous n'avons pas été déçus! Le shabu shabu était un concept totalement nouveau pour nous, mais nous avons pris un malin plaisir à concocter notre plat à partir de bouillon, délicieusement parfumé (dashi pour moi, traditionnel pour lui), de nouilles (udon pour moi, ramen pour lui) & d'un combo de trois viandes. Le rythme lent de la fondue m'a bien plu, on mange à notre faim, mais pas trop. Nous y retournerons certainement, pour essayer le bouillon épicé, lequel atterrissait devant presque tout le monde. Certainement une valeur sûre!

Attention au bouillon "épicé"; celui auquel nous avons eu droit ce soir était si piquant que le repas a été un fiasco. Le serveur devrait signaler ceci; je ne suis pas fervente des mets épicés au point où on ne goûte plus les aliments & c'était le cas du bouillon qui ressemblait à une marmite de tabasco en ébullition. Dommage car nous aimons le shabu shabu, nous en faisons du vraiment bon à la maison & on s'y limitera car l'atmosphère est vraiment plus sympa chez nous! Est-ce que cela tuerait le serveur de saluer quand on entre & de s'enquérir de notre satisfaction durant le repas? J'ai mangé que quelques bouchées; j'avais la bouche & la gorge en feu & je redoutais la suite cette nuit & demain matin!
English: beware of the spicy broth if you want to keep your taste buds! The service is absolutely lame; would it kill the waiter to greet people qhen they come in, tell them he'll be with them in a minute & smile once in a while & ask how everything is going?

Delicious & different... We eat Shabu Shabu for the first time & we expect something like fondue chinoise... It was a lot better & with different taste. The delicate flavour of the Beef grade "A" & the vegetables melted in our mouth... I order the spicy broth & I love it, it was hot, full of flavour, if you dont love spicy avoid it because is strong, for my kids we order the chicken broth, more delicate taste...
For sure I will back...
