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!

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.View more

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.View more

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. 🤩View more

Had the combo for 2. Spicy broth is good as soup personally Sukiyaki for who likes sweetness The dessert today were delicious! The cake within mashed red beans is yummy. Matcha ice cream doesn't have a strong taste of milk & it's a little bitter combined with sweet which is tastyView more

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.View more

J ai été avec mon conjoint & ma fille de 6 ans . C était presque plein . Il y avait 2 serveuses . Une japonaise extrêmement serviable , aimable & attentive à tous les clients. Par contre l autre serveuse avait de la difficulté à s exprimer & à comprendre ce qu on lui demandait. On lui a demandé 2 x sauce soya x ma fille & nous a apporté l autre sauce. On a eu la sauce soya presque à la fin apporté par la gentille japonaise!!! La place est propre & très accueillante!View more

Great fondu restaurant, great food quality. The owner makes his own Goma sauce & ponzu sauce to go with the menu. Both sauces are amazing. Decor goes with the style of the restaurant. I highly recommend trying this restaurant.View more

This place is my favorite of all the hotpot spots in Montreal! I never leave there unsatisfied. The menu changed over time but the food is always delicious. You have your own pot & you choose your broth & the meat you want. It's a shame I didn't take a picture. price is a bit high but the experience is worth it! :) I chose the meat lover combo with the spicy broth & I wasn't disappointed! The waitresses were polite & available. Definitely will come back & recommend!View more

It was a very cool first experience! You choose your broth & meat combo & then the food starts coming. It's a beautiful large assortment of veggies, tofu & mushrooms. Then come the sauces, the sides & the meat. The beef & seafood were extraordinary! The porc was delicious but a little fatty. Personally, I let the porc sit much longer in the broth to give the broth more depth. As you go through all the food, you're also kind of making your own soup as you go. The staff was awesome, Atmosphere is cool. Nothing fancy, I was just in shorts & a polo shirt & didn't feel out of place. The place is upstairs, the sign isn't clear, make sure you look for the address, that's how we found it. Will definitely be back & will be bringing my foodie friends.View more
