Shabashabu is located in North Carolina. This is a moderately priced restaurant. This Japanese restaurant is known for its sushi. When you step inside the restaurant, you'll notice an elegant atmosphere. This place features lunch. This place is handicap accessible, open late, and good for groups.
The decor is simple, clean and modern. Chairs, tables, silverware and plates are sculptural. The Thai dishes belie the flashy decor, as they are thoroughly authentic. Prepare for a spicy kick. Tom kha kai soup...

Shabashabu has always been consistently good. It is a great setting for a date or you could always just pop into the bar, enjoy some good music and try one of their signature drinks.

When I pulled up this page i was shocked at the recent low ratings and negative commentary. I have been to Shaba Shabu with friends on numerous occasions and the food has always been amazing and the service has been excellent. I hae to admit, however, that I have always ordered the sushi and sashimi (not the Thai). They have some of the most creative and tasty rolls. I highly recommend the Wolfpack roll - a California roll topped with spicy tuna. I can't go there without ordering one!
