Shabu-shabu lovers, this place is a MUST! This was one happening shabu-shabu house! We arrived around 6 PM on a Saturday and waited about 30 minutes for a table for two. It was buzzing, lively, and definitely loud--but the service was fantastic. Here's how it works: the base price includes your broth and access to a HUGE buffet featuring seasonal vegetables, rice cakes, noodles, fish cakes, and so much more. You can add à la carte meats and seafood, plus drinks. There was honestly such an incredible variety on the buffet that we didn't even feel the need to order extra meat or seafood. Everything was plentiful and surprisingly well-stocked throughout our meal. Check out my photos and videos to see just how much there was to choose from! Hands down, the best shabu-shabu/hot pot I've ever had. read more

I love this place! Such a staple in Boston for AYCE hotpot. The service is quick and very friendly. Our server, Jose, helped reset the hotpot heaters at my table because two of them were not working initially. He also checked in on my table multiple times for more meat orders and water refills despite a full and busy dining room. They have a variety of greens, mushrooms, noodles, fishcakes, and other vegetables for hot pot. They also have rice, kimchi, eggs, and a sauce bar with a plethora of options. You are also able to order meat, fish, and shrimp for an extra charge with the server. All their ingredients are super fresh and pair super well with all of their broth options. I got the mala broth, which is pretty spicy and super flavorful. The best part is that there is matcha and vanilla soft serve for a sweet treat to end the night. Overall, I think the price is reasonable for what you are getting and the fact that there is nearly always a line speaks to how good it is. I will definitely be back when I am in Boston! read more

This place is great!! First time here tonight with friends who have been here many times and introduced us to it. They don't take reservations and it's just walk ins so it can be a wait. Even though we were there by 6pm and put names down for a table the wait was like 45 minutes! Clearly they are very popular and for good reason - it's an ayce buffet with hot pot! So to pass the time, we went next door to Petco and wandered around looking at the animals, fish in aquariums and birds/ parrots. We were seated in a corner table in the back and it was completely packed - it's quite a large space and looks recently renovated good lighting and modern decor. The buffet itself is huge quite extensive with all kinds of veggies, greens, starchy vegetables, tofu, fish cakes, imitation crab, noodles, and also a sauce bar with a very large variety of sauces. I filled my plate up and got a couple bowls of sauces. I got the kimchi broth while the hubs got the pork bone broth. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal! I ordered the chicken off the menu which was only $3 and the price of the buffet per person was $25 which is not bad at all for all the food there is. Oh and there is also a soft serve station with cones and vanilla and matcha flavors - hubs got a cone each! I tried the vanilla one it was great!! Best part there is free parking as it's a shopping complex. It was a bit tricky today as there a mountains of snow covering spaces, but we were able to find a spot! Overall a really great experience!! Will definitely be back!! Already looking forward to it! read more

One of my go to spots for hot pot buffet plus they have a dedicated parking lot. They have so many veggie and frozen fish ball ingredients available that a lot of times I don't feel the need to order additional items. You can also order meat and seafood à la carte. The price has gone up to $24/person before tax and tip since before the pandemic but it's still a solid spot. The only downside is the wait especially during the colder months. I am not sure if it's easier to go with 2 or larger group since there was no wait for our large group of 10 back in September during prime lunch hour. Then 30 minute wait at 2pm on a Sunday. I always go for adding an egg. I enjoy the kimchi broth and have tried a few of the other ones. They also have an extensive sauce bar so you can really customize it to your liking. Their house made combos are also super tasty. The perfect way to end flavorful hot pot is with their soft serve ice cream flavor. To be honest for a better overall experience rather than overstuffing I would say Qiao Lin is best with a larger group of 6 to try more and options. read more

This is my favorite hotpot spot in Boston! For about $24 base price you get your own personalized broth pot and open selection of so many veggies, noodles, tofu, and fish balls. Their sauce bar is amazing, with several pre-mixed house sauces and many other toppings and sauces to create your own. I love the soft serve matcha machine too!! The restaurant is spacious and well-organized, so even though people are getting up and down to refill their plates, it doesn't feel overly cramped. Orders of meat and seafood are a la carte. I often don't even feel the need to order meat, just because the open bar selections are so expansive. This last time I went, I opted for a side of beef ribeye, which cost a little over $5 and was a pretty generous amount that was a nice accompaniment to my veggies and noodles. I love the fresh ingredients, the wide arrange of options, and the personalized broth pots! I always am so thrilled to come here. read more

With the cold weather here in New England I have been on a hot pot binge! Im so happy I found Spring Shabu Shabu. A perfect way to spend date night or out with friends. Spring Shabu is a nicer hot pot spot in the area with lots of seating, multiple sauce stations, variety of meats, seafood, and dumplings and even has a icecream station for dessert! I love their noodle station, so many different options. They had a homemade pumpkin noodle and it was delicious. Service is always quick and friendly. The location has plenty of self parking. read more

Overall: $25 for AYCE hotpot (no meat included) is a great deal for someone who doesn't indulge too heavily in meat. Food: they have the entire array of what you would want in hot pot. Cabbage, watercress, bok choy, and more for green vegetables. For mushrooms you can have enoki or king oyster. They have kabocha and even taro. They have a ton of noodle options such as udon, vermicelli, instant ramen, knife cut noodles, etc. They have an assortment of fish balls as well from fish tofu to roe filled fish balls. The options alone are enough to pleasantly surprise me but the quality is not some bottom of the barrel establishment. The food here is well worth your time and I must recommend you come! Oh and please don't forget your ice cream on the way out. Matcha and Vanilla ice cream is a must have here. Ambience/Decor/Service: this place is perpetually packed even at 530 pm on a weekday. They're incredibly quick with refilling things as well as busing your table of plates. read more

My friend really enjoyed the vegetables at this hot pot all you can eat restaurant, so as a vegan, I was looking forward to it! Their variety of veggies (and sauces!) truly was impressive, with a few things I'd never even seen before. Everything I got tasted amazing, and the broth was so good. For only $25, we stuffed ourselves for 90 minutes and walked out quite full and satisfied. There's even ice cream, but it is not vegan and has milk powder in it. Would definitely recommend though, and service was great too! read more

Spring Shabu-Shabu - Hot Pot Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

Impressive array of vegetables, noodles, fungi, and fishballs offered here. The meat (which you order/pay for by plate separate from the buffet) was ok but certainly not standout. It had also been frozen, and rolls would stick to one another, which made it annoying when you just wanted to cook one piece of meat. Sauce bar was decent, but they had run out of sauce bowls, so I had to make my sauce in a noodle/soup bowl, and the sauce bowls still hadn't been restocked at the sauce bar by the time my party was leaving. The green tea ice cream was very yummy and strong. Inside was very bright and shiny. Service was regular if a bit disinterested after getting us set up with our pots (this place does personal pots for each person). Great quality veggies/buffet offerings, but ultimately it's hard to justify the price when it doesn't include meat in the buffet. read more

Tl;dr Just ok, slow service not great if you like to eat a lot of meat. Decent selection of non meat all you can eat options. Came here for dinner and had to wait a while for a table. It can get very busy during dinner time so plan ahead. The service was extra slow. This is definitely not the spot for you if you like to eat a lot of meat; the overall system or portions felt constrained. We were trying to get extra broth added in, and just adding the broth took a good 5 minutes because no one wanted to help. I had the spicy broth. Unfortunately, it was not very flavorful. I prefer broths that stand alone and do not need extra sauce, but this broth was neither spicy nor salty enough. On the positive side, there is a decent amount of all you can eat options if you do not need meat, and the noodle selection was good. Overall, the food was okay, but the extra slow service, especially for basic requests like broth, and the bland broth made the experience just average. read more

This was my first ever hotpot experience, so I had a learning curve in a number of areas. Service: First, this hotpot restaurant is always packed, with folks waiting outside it. Luckily, my friend and I had no more than a 7-10min wait. The sign up process to obtain a reservation for 2 was extremely easy; we logged our names and received a text/phone soon thereafter. After being seated, we met our server and expressed that it was our first hotpot experience. She kindly provided instructions and we commenced our dining experience. Throughout our time at Spring Shabu-Shabu, our server was great about returning to our table periodically to ensure we had enough broth and to tend to drink and napkin refills. Food: The good part. The mix-ins are presented buffet style. As someone who doesn't dine out at very many Asian restaurants, I was both overwhelmed and impressed at the array of unique vegetables (all kinds of mushrooms, different kinds of bok choys, etc.), noodles (gluten free mung bean, spinach noodle, udon noodle, etc.), and meat/fish (pollock fish ball, jalapeño fish cake, squid pork, etc.) mix-in options provided. There are also numerous sauce/oil/toppings options (e.g. soy sauce, ponzu, chili oil, chopped garlic, cilantro, sweet and sour sauce, etc.). All of the buffet items were replenished in a timely manner, which enhanced the experience as a patron since time to dine is limited. I had the kimchi broth, and I selected lamb meat as well as white fish. The lamb was delicious, while the white fish tasted basic. I liked the lamb best because it cooked so quickly. The white fish was fine, but it was nothing to write home about. I maintain that the matcha ice cream was a brilliant addition to this restaurant's offerings! They also offer vanilla -- with the option to pull the 'swirl' lever for a vanilla-matcha fusion, in either cone or cup. My friend and I took ours to go! Ambiance: Speaking of time, during the restaurant's "rush hours," there is a 90-min time limit for patrons! For someone like me, who was trying hotpot for the first time, this felt rather brief. The sheer amount of options and the learning curve that is becoming accustomed to dunking veggies/meats/fish into broth to cook them throughly makes 90-mins feel short! Seating/the ambiance is casual here, which I love. You can show up on a whim with a friend or family wearing jeans, and you'll fit right in. It's a no-frills restaurant. Something to keep in mind is that the restaurant is a bit loud -- it can feel like you're straining your voice to be heard across the table, especially given the close proximity of tables to one another. Overall, I give the restaurant a 4/5. I would highly recommend Spring Shabu-Shabu to folks, especially hotpot first timers! read more

I LOVE THIS PLACE. This spot gets incredibly busy during dinner hours. Parking can be challenging, as spaces are limited and neighboring businesses strictly enforce no overflow. Be prepared, since you might wait an hour or two if you're unlucky. Inside, the decor is tasteful and inviting. True to its name, "Spring" Shabu Shabu incorporates natural elements, including attractive wood-panel walls, uniquely geometric overhead lighting accented in green, and even artificial grass that cleverly separates some seating rows. Another big plus: it's brightly lit, which my wife particularly appreciates since she often complains about dimly lit restaurants. Two things set this hot pot place apart: every diner gets an individual boiling broth pot, and nearly everything is self-serve buffet-style. There's no need to wait or compete for cooked food. You're fully in control of your meal. The buffet selection is fantastic, featuring multiple types of noodles, mushrooms, fresh veggies, and especially the variety of fish balls. You can even create your own dipping sauces from a wide assortment of available ingredients. For dessert, there's a simple soft-serve ice cream machine dispensing Vanilla, Green Tea, and a mixed option. Honestly, I look forward to this ice cream almost as much as the main buffet--it's very sweet, creamy, and addictive. Tell everyone to come here. It's awesome. read more

Come early because this place gets packed. It's a casual hotpot restaurant with an all you can eat buffet section with a big selection of veggies, fishballs and noodles. If you want any meat or seafood that gets ordered separately. We each got an individual hotpot to cook with. I had the pork bone broth which was a little bland but the dipping sauce made up for it. Most of the food was pretty fresh, except maybe a clam. Service was a little slow and lacking, they forgot a drink and didn't automatically refill the broth when it was running low. They also really follow the 90 minute time limit because they are so busy. read more

Spring Shabu-Shabu is a Japanese hot pot restaurant, with an amazing assortment of meats, broths, vegetables, sauces, and add-ons. Each person gets their own pot of the broth of their choice (they had a gluten free broth option!), which they then can cook their meat, dumplings, and vegetables in. I chose the kimchi broth, which was the perfect amount of spicy, and then beef top blade and pork dumplings for my meats. While you wait for your broth and meat to arrive at your table, you go over to a buffet to pick out your vegetables, sauces, and add-ons. The restaurant had an a large variety of noodles (including gluten free!), vegetables, sauces, and toppings (kimchi, green onion, etc). Once you are done choosing all your items from the buffet, it was very fun to cook your food in the pot while enjoying good company. Feel free to accompany your meal with their various non-alcoholic or alcoholic beverages, and be sure to end your meal with some green tea soft serve! For the price, Spring Shabu Shabu was definitely worth it due to its variety. The restaurant was also very clean, and the staff were polite! My only tip would be to go on the earlier side (~5PM) because it starts to get very busy past this time; we arrived at 5:30PM as a group of 5, had trouble parking, but only waited about 15 minutes even though we were told it would be 45 minutes. read more

Spring Shabu-Shabu is my go-to hotpot spot in Boston. Every time family or friends come to visit, this is the first place to bring them for a satisfying and memorable meal.

The value is unbeatable: expect to leave completely full and absolutely feeling like you got your money's worth, especially with the wide variety of ingredients that come with the base price and generous meat portions available for a little extra. The matcha soft serve at the end is the perfect sweet finishing touch. Service is consistently quick and attentive, even when it's busy (and yes, it's popular, so sometimes there's a wait but it's always worth it) Whether introducing newcomers to Boston or just craving a hearty meal, Spring Shabu-Shabu never disappoints, great for groups, families, or anyone who wants both delicious food and a fun, interactive dining experience read more

One of my fav hotpot places, I always make is a point to stop by here when I'm in the Boston area As a vegetarian spring shabu shabu is a great way to enjoy hotpot. Hotpots are individual and there are many sauce, vegetable, and noodle options to choose from. I will say the first time I came was pre covid and there were multiple tofu options but the last time I went (Dec 2023) the only vegetarian protein option was plain tofu which was a bit disappointing. Despite that, I am always impressed by the sauce and noodle bar - it's definitely filling and fun and love the matcha soft serve for dessert after read more

This is my favorite hotspot place! There's often a wait on the weekends but weekday dinners are quite open. I've liked the dashi and pork bone broth and my husband enjoys mala. We don't usually order additional meat or seafood because the buffet options are so good. There's a variety of vegetables, mushrooms, noodles, and fish balls. Making the sauce is fun because you can try a mix of different ones. Overall, a very delicious, satisfying dinner! read more

For $22 base veggies and fishballs, I thought it was a great deal! They had a large selection and you can order meat for extra cost. When I eat hot pot I mostly eat veggies but my boyfriend eats a lot more meat than I do so it was not as worth it for him. They also have green tea soft serve which was yummy. The service was super quick and we were able to get seated immediately on a weekday night even though it was during the holidays and pretty busy. read more

Definitely would recommend this place! The price point is not that bad especially if you're not wanting to eat a lot of meat. The bar that holds all the ingredients has so many different veggie, noodles, and fish options that you can indulge in. I got the tomato broth and it did not disappoint. The only difficult part was just how long you might have to wait due to its popularity. An important thing to note is that the largest they can accommodate is 6 people to a table (unless you don't mind sharing a pot). Overall, would come again. I was soooo full! Oh and the ice cream was a nice finisher. read more

Fantastic hot pot restaurant with tons of options for vegetables and other items! For me, it had every ingredient that I love in hot pot (lots of different mushrooms, taro, squash, cabbage, bean sprouts, rice cakes). They also had a variety of different noodles. One really unique one was the matcha noodles. These were surprisingly good. They also had a bunch of sauces for you to make. My favorite combination is garlic, soy sauce, chili oil, sesame oil, green onion, cilantro, and hoisin sauce. The matcha ice cream here is also amazing. I think it's actually the best matcha ice cream I've ever had. Service is pretty quick and there's a lot of seating for lots of people to come and eat. It is popular though so expect a 20/30 min wait. read more

Spring is a great AYCE hot pot with the caveat that meat and seafood is not included in the AYCE price. The veggie selection is better than most AYCE places and they are constantly making sure that the selection is well stocked. There usually is a line for tables during peak hours so I advise getting there earlier in the afternoon/evening. They also have a great soft serve machine for dessert which is a nice way to end a warm meal. The service is pretty standard for an AYCE hot pot place, if you come in with low expectations for service, it will be okay! read more

Spring shabu shabu is incredible. It is so much fun getting to pick out your toppings. For a lot of the places that have all you can eat hot pot, the quality of the food isn't so good but this was divine. They had so many toppings it was hard to choose. The meat, once cooked in the pot, all looked and tasted the same, so I recommend just going for whatever is the cheapest. The service was quick! The place is very bright and modern. I highly recommend read more

First time trying an individual broth hotpot with a buffet for veggies, noodles, fish balls, and dipping sauce, and I absolutely loved it. I had the kimchi broth and it had good flavor and decent spice. I like that they come by and refill the broth if it's getting a bit low - service overall was fast and friendly. The buffet has so many different options to choose from - a surprise hit with my table was the vegetable noodles. We also ordered two plates of beef and one of pork, but honestly you don't even really need to order meat, just the buffet alone has enough variety to fill up on, especially for the price. The soft serve matcha was a perfect way to end the meal. I'll definitely be back! read more

Okay, so this also may be my fault (Someone did try to warn me) I ordered the vegetarian broth. NO FLAVOR! Where is the flavor. I tried mixing sauce to help. It did. Very slay. It was very busy, which is good for them (like pop off) but they never came back to refill our broth! "I am looking like a whole caveman trying to eat my food." "My brick of ramen is too thick for the lack of broth I have" (They finally came to at the last 5 mins to be like you want some broth. ) The ice cream... I would kill someone for it. Sooo yummy. Ambiance was good tho. And the price isn't bad! read more

Service is great - they always make sure our broths are stocked and everything is to our liking. You also have to get their matcha soft serve. It's always the perfect finish to a delicious meal here. read more

Must say another great dining experience at Spring. Went today for lunch. Staff was attentive and friendly. Food was nicely presented and delicious. The place is clean and the price is reasonable for what you get. Go hungry....the buffet has a tremendous selection of fresh and frozen items. An example....the greens alone, probably 6/10 different types to choose from. The individual portions of pasta is also 6/10. This is just a sample of items waiting for you to submerge into piping flavorful broth at your table, dip into a sauce of your making and choosing and enjoying thinking how unique dining experience this is. Try this. You won't be disappointed!! read more

Spring Shabu Shabu was highly recommended to me by many friends, and this place did not disappoint. First of all, there is ample parking in the huge lot, which is important because the restaurant is huge! I've gone on a weekday and also a weekend and both dinners were filled with people. They do not take reservations, so expect a wait, go at an earlier time, or come early to put your name down. All members of the party need to be present to be seated. I absolutely love the AYCE veggies, noodles, fishcakes, desserts, and sauces. It's a great selection and everything is super fresh. Meats and seafood are extras, but honestly, you can get full with just the AYCE items. One thing to note is this place gets loud because everybody is yelling over each other. There are also big groups that come. They can accommodate a wide variety of groups. read more

The best place to go for AYCE hotpot on a budget if you are not a meat type of person. It's 22.95 a person which includes everything except non water drinks and meat. The sauce bar has sooo many options, more than most hotpot places. The pork bone broth is my favorite, super flavorful and a safe choice for more picky eaters. They also have a huge variety of veggies to choose from, so much that my family didn't miss the lack of meat at all. We ordered a plate of the white fish fillet but honestly the hotpot would have been better without. read more

There are a lot of fish balls and veggies and noodles to choose from!

EXCELLENT!!! Worth the wait. Only 20 minutes for 2 Saturday at 2:00 ( but the hostess says it can be 1-2 hours Fri and Sat nights. ) Deeeelish !!! I'm a carnivore, but the veggies were by far the best part. Got the 'seafood combo' which was quite disappointing. Only the shrimp were 'satisfying,' Crab 'fingers' looked cool, but zero meat inside. Mussels blah-2 broken shells so didn't eat them! 1 clam never opened, so they quite nicely brought a replacement, but clams were rubbery, fish ok. Next time I'd get all shrimp. Great selection of sauces & additions like scallions, garlic & hot spicies. The green tea ice cream was sooo good I had 3!!! Well 2, & #3 was a mixed swirl with 1/2 vanilla DEFINITELY going back a zillion times. read more

Is it the best shabu shabu/hot pot experience I've ever had? No - that honor goes to Hai Di Lao in China, where you get a free manicure and loads of snacks in advance. But Spring Shabux2 is a great deal for the area, especially if, like me, you're more into fish balls and veggies and noodles than meat. It's a flat rate and buffet style, so you can eat to your heart's desire, and it's a particularly good deal for large groups/families, since there's usually something there for everyone. I loved the buffet of veggies, fish balls, mushrooms, tofu, noodles and rice. So many different kinds of veggies! The variety is another selling point. As is the sauce bar - I have no idea whether what I'm mixing will turn out good or not, but I went with sha cha, peanut sauce, sesame sauce, and chili oil, with loads of scallions and cilantro. Everything was very clean and fresh. My favorite was the fish ball with roe inside. For once, the protein a la carte options play second fiddle to the incredible buffet spread. Don't forget the green tea soft serve afterwards! My one tip is to go on a weekday night (and on the early side). Our group of 3 went around 5:45 and didn't have to wait, though when we left at 7:30, there was already a line. The weekends are bananas. Also, they won't seat you until your whole party is here so don't be the annoying friend who claims to have left already when you're still sitting at home. PARKING: Spring shares the lot with PetCo, just be mindful of not parking somewhere that's specifically designated. If that lot is full, you can always use the enormous Star Market lot. read more

Honestly, the food wasn't bad. The broth was pretty good and the meats you can order aren't too bad. The service was as expected for a mostly serve yourself hotpot. My main issue is with the purchasing system. Paying $25 for a "buffet" and then seeing that the included stuff is all cheap ingredients and then having the meats costing almost $10 per small plate is kind of insane. At least it tastes alright. Ended up spending over $50 at a $25 "buffet all you can eat hot pot" so... read more
