Shubu Shubu

Went to Richmond location after Burnaby re-open their new store. Not really surprised, but Richmond store also increase the price for the new menu. I still love the food, but just wonder why everything is so expensive now. Shabu shabu used to be a substitute for me when I want hotpot, but do not have too much budget. But nowadays price is pretty close to those big brands. Beside price, the food is still amazing. Good quality meat and soup base. They include an ice cream for the combo, but I actually like the jelly more. The Richmond store has better induction than Burnaby one, and the table is slightly bigger than Burnaby.

A little bit pricy but the portions are good and the combos are very filling. I got the mix ball meat combo which includes a variety of veggies, your choice of rice/noodles, a drink, and a dessert. There are options to upgrade your combo, such as choosing a soup base other than the 2 complimentary ones or upgrading your rice. The base price of the combos are already pretty high so picking the upgrades can add up really quickly. The taste is pretty good and I like that you get your own individual pot. There are limited seats so come early or be prepared to wait.

This place has been a binding place for me to go every time I crave for hotpot since 2017. No need to mention about quality and price. Every single thing is just on spot. I always forgot to bring my membership card : but I really enjoy here. Pick seafood plate, basa fish fillet, 10oz beef. I have to remind you guys that this Gokudo is systematically different from the one nearby metrotown. So, it means membership of Gokudo metrotown cannot be applied here, and vice versa. Other than that, I love eating here. Parking lotz are everywhere. Remember to eat their desserts as well. I hope I can get 2 free hotpots here since I am a loyalty customers since 2017: eat a lot but never get a free meal always forgot the membership card)

It's my first time to eat in this restaurant and I really like it. Serving is great the waiter who serve us is really good and fast she's working alone during big hours.

The combo is definitely the way to go. I went all out and got the Sukiyaki broth (extra) and it was so deliciously. Especially as it boiled down and became concentrated. You also receive a tray of veggies/fish balls, I chose to upgrade my bowl of rice, milk tea and I got the 10oz portion of lamb. Oh my goodness. So much food and so delicious. Everything was so fresh and amazing. The servers were also so friendly. I can't wait to return when the weather gets chilly.
