Profile

Shabu-shabu (“swishing swishing” in English) is a one-pot Japanese dish named for the sound raw beef makes as it’s swirled through hot broth. The owners of this new NYU-area café consider it Asian fondue, and serve multiple versions of it along with the retro-trendy (and emphatically Western) cheese and chocolate varieties. — Rob Patronite and Robin Raisfeld
