Food here is very good. The lunch specials are not as high quality as the food made to order. I have not tried the hot pot but their Chinese food is good and sushi is too. Eating in is much better than their takeout. The menu is pretty large and the price is not too bad for the portions. The parking can be a little tricky too.

We went in after being at the park for a couple of hours. We were greeted immediately. We both decided to get the hot pot, which we never had before. My husband and I both ordered the seafood platter. I ordered the seafood, ginger and cilantro broth and he ordered the spicy. We both ordered the vermicelli (rice) noodles. They had a divider in the pot so we could each have our preference. The seafood and vegetables were so fresh and our waitress explained what everything was, how to fix dipping sauce to our taste etc. it was a huge portion of food. The restaurant itself is nothing fancy, not much in the way of decor but the food is what counts.

So now that the weather's cooler, we decided to try the hot pot menu at Shabu Lee. And it was good, satisfying and filling! We opted for 3 combos: the prime ribeye, fatty beef, and pork; and opted for the basic pork-based broth. For each combo, you get a plate of the desired meat, a vegetable basket (comprising napa cabbage leaves, watercress, spinach leaves, enoki mushroom, woods-ear mushroom, slices of taro and daikon, a section of corn cob), and choice of noodles (we took the rice vermicelli). I must say, for the 3 of us, this amount of veggies and noodles was too much (a good problem, though ...). Next time, I'd order 2 combos for the 3 of us and add an ala carte meat or seafood plate. The meats were good and as mentioned, the amounts were generous and filling. And the broth after all the shabu-shabu-ing, was delicious. We enjoyed the meal very much! Wait staff was very pleasant and helpful in explaining items; the built-in induction burner for the hot pot was easy to use, easy to adjust the temperature, and was safe - never had a concern for burning yourself (I imagine this would be great for kids' safety).

Tasty and soooo affordable! Great service, team approach , so all was quick. Has miso & pad Thai. So much food, I took almost 1/2 home. They literally must have 200 menu options! I'm actually curious the total, but not curious enough to count, ha! Pleasant location on Norwood's Main Street. Easy parking ( summer Sunday night ). Would definitely return.

It's right in downtown Norwood, street parking and there are public lots around as well. It's small inside but when I went on a Friday evening for dinner there was no wait. Service was nice, she was available but didn't hover. Funny enough she over heard my friend say there was no fortune in her fortune cookie and brought another one. Food was great. We got hot pot. I got the meat combo that came with two choices of protein, choice of broth base and noodle. It also came with assorted veggies for the soup. Broth bases were all at an upcharge which I don't remember seeing at other places usually basic broths are included with the combo and the more complex ones may have an upcharge. Veggie selection was okay, not the freshest veggies I've seen but they weren't bad. Meat portion was very generous. They offer beer and some wine, not a huge list and I don't think they offer any hard liquor I would absolutely come back, I'd love to try their sushi

We do regular takeout from Shabu Lee. They appear to do much more takeout than dine-in. Personal favorites are Sushi Supreme, Pork Loin Mein, and Chicken Fried Rice. Dine-in decor is tired, the food is always fresh, and so we do takeout. Street parking, and public parking in the rear. Discount offered for cash. Tip: supply your own condiments such as soy sauce or hot mustard sauce. Skip the cheap packets

We ordered food for a small gathering New Year's Eve for 20ppl. I know that it is a very popular night for Asian cuisine, so we didn't expect the food to be at its best, good yes but due to the volume maybe not as fresh. We were so pleasantly surprised the food was AMAZING,everything was fresh and well packaged. I highly recommend them , everyone was asking where we got this food from. Great Job Shabu Lee, thank you and Happy New Year.

It was a cold day and was craving hot pot. The restaurant is small and it seems like takeout was popular during dinner. We only saw street parking which is plentiful. The owner was very friendly and attentive. We ordered the kimchi hot pot soup base with Japanese ramen noodles, beef, enoki mushrooms, bok choy and assorted tofu. The soup base was good and I didn't notice it being spicy. The beef was cut in large slices and most of the items were frozen as expected besides the bok choy. Really appreciated the induction hot plate and 10% discount when paying cash.
