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.

The food was fresh. The sets are very filling because of the noodles & rice you get.
However I thought the price was a lot for what you get. The sets could probably come with more meat.

Fantastic service that was attentive & speedy. The spicy broth really hit the spot. There is plenty of food for each set. I got the premium beef set & it was really yummy. Wish there was a bit more meat but I came away stuffed (there was a lot of veggies, & it came with a bowl of rice & noodles). The sesame sauce was also really yummy. The ponzu sauce was a bit too salty.
Dessert was an alfogato with chocolate ice cream. The ice cream tasted like cheap ice cream but it was elevated by the espresso.

Excellente découverte! La nourriture est fraîche & délicieuse, le bouillon bien assaisonné & le prix est très raisonnable pour la quantité & la variété que nous avons reçu. Service parfaitement courtois & ambiance tamisée. Nous y retournerons c'est certain.

Used to love that place but as with many restaurants, since covid quality went down a bit & prices exploded & its just not worth it anymore. It is still ok if you don't look at the price, but at 40$ before tax for a tiny beef portion that isn't even marbled its really not worth it to me. If at least the beef was still nicely marbled like it used to be I might give it a pass, but not like that. Might not even be their fault, maybe beef inflation really is that bad idk, I just know I won't be back.

My favorite place for hot pot in down town Montreal. The broth is so tasty to the point where everything else ( vegetables, the lamb, etc ) goes perfectly well alongside it. It's a bit pricey now since the prices have increased. Fortunately, the ice cream dessert is already included in the whole meal & it's a good ending to the wonderful meal. You're better off calling to reserve because it can get crowded on busy evenings. They even take amex !

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.

The food was good & the service was really great. It's a cool & well decorated restaurant. I shared the Futari set. It was the perfect amount of food. The meat was really fresh & good. Overall though I think that the food was not that good compared to the price.
