It's everything natural, and cooked right in front of you, so while you let the aroma captivate you, the best part is eating it hot from the plate. Shabu Shabu Restaurant has its own secret recipe, with their array of mouth-watering, delicious Japanese dishes and over 100 to choose from.

The secret to their dishes is their electrical 300c stove, proven to absorb and savour all the natural taste. So as you dine, watch the expert Chef prepare your next course in the exquisite Japanese way.

The restaurant that can cater for 70 people boasts their electric cookers leave fresh air in the room and is what separates them from the rest. Their dishes are served with their own homemade tantalising sauce. Shabu Shabu also has traditional Japanese private rooms big enough for 25 people. Located downtown Suva at the Ra Marama House, Merchant Finance building's ground floor, the restaurant is an ideal place to wine and dine with friends and family.

They specialise in the best Japanese teppani yaki food. The restaurant is also suitable for functions of any kind - suitable special occasions so if you are planning an office party or old-time friends get together this is the best place for you. The restaurant was opened five years ago and has become very popular for tourists, diplomats and VIP guests.

Even the younger generation between 20 and 30 years are also attracted to the wonderful Japanese cuisine and seafood that Shabu Shabu offers. Teppani yaki is a style of Japanese cuisine that uses an iron griddle to cook food. The word teppani yaki is derived from teppan, which means iron plate, and yaki, which means grilled, broiled or pan-fried. At Shabu Shabu teppani yaki dishes are cooked using an iron plate and their mouth-watering dishes including steak, shrimp, fish, lobster, chicken, octopus and more. Their expert chefs at Shabu Shabu do their juggling magic with fire and food as you watch your meal being cooked.

Chef Tuimasi Goneyali has mastered the art of teriyaki cooking and when it comes to Japanese cuisine, this young lad sure knows how to leave your tastebuds tingling for more.

It's something that every diner looks forward to, so come on down to Suva and get a taste of the best kind that will have you returning for more! The wine and Japanese sake are irresistible for many so try it today and make your party a memorable bash- hard to forget!
