    a variety of food items on a table
    Anna C.

    Celebrated my boyfriends birthday last night at Shabu Shack. Overall, we all enjoyed the food and would come again if we wanted hotpot without making the drive to Boston. The service was not the best but also not the worst either. The food took a while to come out, We had to ask for water a few times and felt like no one really checked in on us or came by to clear the table as plates were empty. When the staff did come by, the waitresses were friendly. As a newly opened restaurant, I do feel like there are some things that need to be worked on. For starters, they charge $14 minimum for broth. It can be one flavor or you can choose two. From the photo I post you can see that there is hardly any broth in the pot. For a relatively large pot, the broth was filled about half way. The portions are small for the pricy menu and the only menu item that we ordered which we did not enjoy was the thick cut, tough beef tongue. Cute place but kind of small for hotpot. Probably about 12 or 13 tables and a bar area. If you are in the mood for hotpot and you're in the area, it's worth trying but be warned that you may still leave hungry.

    Great service and super yummy broths. We got the beef, veggie, and mushroom platters with some rice and udon and drinks with a really nice atmosphere and plenty of extra food. For 6 people/ extras and drinks it was only around $200 with gratuity so a great value. Enjoyable experience all around

    I would give this negative review if I could because my family went in and ate during their meals they found flies in the soup this is honestly disgusting and disappointing.

    Strip mall Korean eatery with a slightly swankier vibe than most. Trendy decor, modern bar…read more Experienced and friendly servers. Approachable menu with as much fusion as authentic Korean. -- Chicken Wings: Jumbo wings with extra crispness and an inner texture varying between sufficiently moist and gushingly juicy, depending on the piece. Always liked them, and I tried twice more recently with similar positive results. Excellent flavor in both the Soy Garlic and the Sweet and Spicy Gochujang. Superb, and with no price hikes in at least five years, now an excellent value too. -- Kimchi Pancake: Crispy on the edges and fluffier inside, with kimchi adding some crunch and nice flavor to go with the starch. Thin dark sauce to complement it. I think of it as a Korean cross between scallion pancake and egg foo yong. Good for sharing. -- Seafood Jampong: A large bowl of seafood stew with a red broth that has some creaminess as well as spice. Nice texture and chock full of large mussels, scallops, shrimp (gigantic Gulf shrimp as well as baby shrimp), Asian squid, and noodles. The squid was a little chewy, but everything else was cooked beautifully. This dish satisfied both in the restaurant and as leftovers the next day. Good choice for family meal, date meal, or chowing with the buds meal.

    So Westford is a bit of a food desert with only a plethora of Asian cuisines. Of all these…read morerestaurants, I believe soul kitchen is the best. We just did the sushi Love boat for four people and all of the sushi was fresh. The salmon was buttery. The tuna was firm. The rolls were done perfectly. We had to wait a bit at the door and there was a little bit of confusion there so we were delayed in getting our seats.... And the waitress was a bit delayed getting to our table, but we made the best of it. Next time we're here, I'm going to do some of the more Korean dishes, but the sushi is well recommended.

Wasabi Shumai: Nice nasal jolt. Softer, looser, wetter, more finely ground inner texture than typical. Not warm at all. A little below average. Egg Rolls: Crisp outside, moistly stringy inside (in a good way), with decent flavor. Could use more stuffing, and it's cabbage based (some hate, but I don't), but it worked. A little above average. Moo Shi Beef: Big, tender beef chunks in surprising abundance-- around 70% protein, which is practically unheard of. Vegetables crunchy and moist, as opposed to swimming in liquid. Four pancakes were enough. Above average. Mongolian Beef: Another surprise here, as it arrived sizzling. More big chunks of tender beef, sitting atop onions and other vegetables beneath. Not much crusting or additional flavor, but the natural beef flavor and just enough juices to keep it going were sufficient. A little above average. House Fried Rice: Light brown grains, but plenty of beef, pork, and shrimp to add both flavor and moisture, taking it to a middle ground between subgum fried and yang chow. Some egg, some peas, some carrots, some saltiness (noticeable but not problematic). Above average. Nothing hit elite, but good time for sure, and for a sushi-first restaurant merely sidelining in Chinese, more than respectable.

    Food is excellent and very good service. I would highly this place. Best chinese restaurant…read morearound. Great Mai Tai's
