Gyu Jin is now offering an exclusive deal through July 31 – when dining in a group of four people, just show this article to receive the fourth person’s meal for free. Pay for three; enjoy dinner for four!

What is Shabu-Shabu?

As a lighter alternative to traditional Chinese hot pot, shabu-shabu is a Japanese take on this same dish, using a nabemono hotpot filled with delicious broths ideal for cooking any kind of added ingredient. Derived from the ‘swish-swish’ sound emitted from the pot as the ingredients are stirred, shabu-shabu is the savory version of sweeter sukiyaki.

How It Works 

Diners can select two soup bases from the seven total choices (shabu-shabu, sukiyaki, beef bone, tom yum goong, pork stomach & chicken, kimchi or tomato), and the price per person is determined by the meat set selected. 

The Tajimaya Class Buffet Set (RMB138/lunch, RMB198/dinner) includes Angus brisket, Angus chuck roll, pork belly and ox tongue, while the Tajimaya Luxury Set (RMB268/lunch, RMB298/dinner) showcases more superior cuts, like premium Wagyu chuck roll, premium Wagyu oyster blade, pork belly and ox tongue.

To accompany your meat feast, the buffet spans seafood – prawns, mussels, freshly sliced fish, shrimp and fish balls, crab sticks, whole crabs, clams and octopus; vegetables – assorted greens and cabbage, mushrooms of all sizes, corn, potatoes, broccoli, seaweed, bamboo and daikon; other hotpot favorites – firm tofu, shrimp dumplings, tofu skin, noodles, luncheon meat and more; and a full on sauce bar with dozens of sauce bases and add-ins to customize the ideal hotpot sauce for you. 

The buffet at lunch features all of the seafood, vegetables, dumplings and noodles you can eat, (and free flow Coke, Sprite, Diet Coke and oolong tea) plus unlimited fried chicken, while the dinner menu sees the addition of roasted lamb, grilled garlic scallops, Hong Kong egg tarts and six different flavors of Haagen Dazs ice cream.

Bonus, from June 1-July 31, dinner also includes unlimited crawfish to complete this full on feast, while children under 120cm will be charged half price, and kids under 90cm eat for free.

Gyu Jin aims to provide high quality ingredients to diners in a comfortable, relaxed setting. The staff are attentive and always ready to assist – ensuring you will most definitely never leave hungry!
