Shabu Kitchen

Shabu Kitchen is a Japanese restaurant tucked inside Boemi Kedaton Mall, offering a cozy spot for diners in Bandar Lampung who want to enjoy a relaxed, casual meal with a variety of Japanese-inspired dishes. You’ll find a broad menu here that stretches beyond typical shabu-shabu — there’s ramen, rice bowls, and even dim sum, making it a versatile stop whether you're craving something light or a more filling hot pot experience.

The atmosphere leans toward comfortable and straightforward — it isn’t flashy but feels clean and inviting enough for both weekday lunches and weekend dinners. The space tends to fill up on weekends, so if you plan to go then, an early reservation will help avoid waiting. On quieter days, it’s a solid choice for families, friends catching up, or anyone looking to savor a warm, hearty meal without fuss.

Among the dishes locals seem to return for are the beef hot pot ramen and shabu-shabu, which bring a sense of nostalgic comfort to longtime visitors. The rice bowls, like the beef rice bowl, are another go-to for those wanting something satisfying but not overly heavy. Garlic rice and mixed foods with fries show how the menu mixes familiar accompaniments with Japanese flavors, offering small crowd-pleasers alongside signature items. Refreshing drinks like Buah Naga (dragon fruit) juice and strawberry smoothies are also popular choices, balancing out the savory options.

Service can vary; some guests note slower waiting times and a somewhat indifferent staff attitude at busy moments, but the food tends to keep the experience grounded in something worth returning for. It feels like a place where the focus is on consistent flavors rather than polished hospitality.
