@eater

"Located just a short walk from Boston’s Chinatown Gate, Shabu-Zen has been one of the late-night mainstays in the Boston food scene since 2002. Its offerings cover a wide variety of Japanese hot pot classics, including tontoro pork cheek and Miyazaki A5 grade wagyu beef, as well as a good selection of seafood and vegetables. In addition to Japanese miso and tonkotsu (pork bone) broths, diners can select Korean kimchi, Thai tom yum, Chinese Sichuan spicy, and more from the menu. Lunch specials are available on weekdays before 3 p.m., including a protein, an assortment of vegetables, and a choice of udon, vermicelli, or rice. There’s a location in Allston, too." - Valerie Li Stack
