"With its original location in Flushing, Queens, Spring Shabu-Shabu’s Allston offshoot is a popular spot for students and residents. Its menu is partially buffet-style, meaning the diners get to pick their “entree,” which is a protein prepared to order. The sides, mainly vegetables and tofu, are laid out on the buffet counter alongside the sauces. Each diner gets their own individual broth, with vegetarian options featured on the menu. This makes it an ideal place for large groups with different dietary preferences." - Valerie Li Stack
