Sydney's first self-serve all-you-can-eat Japanese hot pot buffet has opened in Haymarket
Warm up this winter at Shabuway, Sydney's first self-serve, all-you-can-eat Japanese hot pot buffet, now open on Dixon Street in Haymarket, in Arisun 's former home. From the team behind Butchers Buffet and Gyuniku, the 120-seat venue celebrates shabu-shabu – a Japanese-style hot pot where thin slices of meat and veggies are cooked in a delicious broth at the table.
Here at Shabuway, diners get a yin-yang pot in the centre of the table, featuring two house-made broths – think chicken and ginseng, Japanese sukiyaki or spicy mala – so you can customise your experience. Build your hot pot with buttery Wagyu, chicken tenderloin, pork belly or brisket, finish with fresh, seasonal veggies and you've got yourself a cracking lunch or dinner.
Executive chef Joanne Lee is behind the menu, which draws on the flavours of Japan, as well as China and Korea. Alongside the DIY hot pot, there's a bao bun station, where you can fill pillowy buns with smoked duck, spicy pork or bulgogi beef brisket. Plus, there's crunchy fried chicken and freshly made sushi to enjoy on the side. And you gotta hit up the dessert station – soft-serve ice cream with Oreos, we're coming for you.
