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!
Shabu Shabu Kagayaki is described in reviews as a welcoming spot with attentive, friendly staff and a warm, calm atmosphere. Fresh ingredients, flavorful broths, and high quality meats receive frequent praise, with vegetables noted as especially vibrant and portions satisfying. Service is consistently highlighted as exceptional, with clear explanations of how the dining works and a helpful, patient staff. The experience feels versatile and comforting, suitable for solo diners, couples, or friends, and many leave impressed by the generous servings and the overall quality. Optional touches like sake tasting or omakase sets are mentioned, but the core appeal is the dependable, flavorful food and friendly, attentive service that keeps guests returning.
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.

I used to go to Kagayaki 10 or so years ago & it was great, especially for the price back then. I went back last night & the price have literally doubled (the nagano pork used to be 15$ & now it's 33$), but it's the same food... I know inflation is crazy but it was not worth a 50$ bill (including taxes & tip). The service was very good! Jusy not worth the price 😅
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
Nous avons passé un excellent moment dans ce restaurant. La nourriture est EXCELLENTE & nous nous sommes régalés avec la formule à partager à deux. Le bouillon est bon, la viande est excellente, les légumes sont bons & la sauce à la cacahuète, un délice. Le service est sympathique & le restaurant chaleureux. Nous reviendrons sans hésiter.
Prices are rising & everything is super expensive. If you eat a self-service hot pot, you have to cook it by yourself. It's better to go to an all-you-can-eat restaurant with service.

Came in for some Japanese fondue on a rainy day which turned out to be just the.right choice. The classic combo gives you a good & balanced amount of delicious food. The atmosphere & setup are great. Service was impeccable. We had a great dining experience.
The place is ok, staff is friendly, place is very clean ! Service was fast ! The food was ok, the only thing is the price ! Very expensive for not so much meat .
Souper inoubliable toujours bonne nourriture. Le service est très courtois & rapide. C'est la 4e fois que j'y vais en 10 ans & je veux encore y retourner !!
