Shabu Shabu in Kensington and Chelsea

Atmosphere not that good and service a bit slow. For the quality you get in both product and service is expensive

Non volevamo mangiare altro che la Kobe Beef, almeno io e Stefano. Gli altri in erano molto convinti di affrontare quel tipo di spesa ma noi si, eravamo assolutamente diretti verso le nostre fettine di paradiso carnivoro. Abbiamo prenotato, ci siamo seduti e abbiamo ordinato. La Kobe è chiaramente un'esperienza senza paragoni, qualcosa di cui non ci si dimentica, un viaggio, una cultura, una prelibatezza senza difetti! Il resto comunque tutto molto buono, dal sushi al riso ai semplici frittini. Ve lo consiglio, senza ombra di dubbio, anche per l'atmosfera che si respira, elegante, semplice, delicatamente riservato e piacevole nel suo gioco di luci basse. E poi, la Kobe Beef...che volete che vi dica...risparmiate qualcosina in inutili cianfrusaglie da riportare indietro e andate a godere un po'!!!

The experience is different and the food is excellent. The service is usually friendly albeit slow sometimes. Gets quite busy. My only problem is that you get hungry only a couple of hours after having Shabu Shabu. I recommend making sure you order rice as a side to sustain you a bit longer

amazing ambience.as soon as you enter you have a heavenly feel.i loved thei cheeze curry.it was delicious.

Love Shabu Shabu, probably spoiled after having it several time in Japan, but this place is not worth it. Service is lame, food not great and it comes (as expected in a whole foods) at a steep price. Rather save money and go to a real Japanese place.

Perhaps I am spoiled in the US? I'd say the bright spot about this place is that its meat seems fresh. However, the meat portion is very small. Vegetable portion is even worse. In terms of service, one time, they didn't have plain rice, but only sushi rice (very sweet and sour). Honestly, it's ridiculous to offer sushi rice with shabu shabu. If I were the restaurant manager, I would have gotten plain rice from other stores in the food court on the same floor or from Whole Foods downstairs instead of offering sushi rice. If I weren't too tired and hungry, I would have got up and gone to buy it myself.

Fantastic place to pick up a very good take away at really good prices . Food quality outstanding , easy to select what you want from the shelves .

I have been using this place for years now , and have always found the food and service to be superb. It seems very family run with mama-San wondering around the restaurant keeping a very beady eye on things, while a couple of young girls serve the food and drinks. Prices are very reasonable for London, £40 for a great selection of sushi , miso and Asahi. I just hope it survives as it always seems fairly quiet.
