Shabu Restaurant Review: Kevin and Robert Valaika, disciples of restaurateur Bill White (Grappa, Wahso, Chimayo, Windy Ridge, Ghidotti's), took their trendy dinner spot out of the Main Street Mall and down to Main Street. Shabu offers what it calls "Freestyle Asian" cuisine, a mixture of Japanese, Thai and Chinese influences. We find our appetites piqued by starters like firecracker shrimp, Thai melon soup or the scallop ceviche salad. Entrées include a sleek but small-portioned curried lemon grass-crusted swordfish brushed with a passion fruit vinaigrette, and Tokyo broil tenderloin with Szechwan peppercorn demi-glace. Less appealing is the namesake shabu-shabu (the term references the sound of food swished back and forth in a hot broth), which feels like eating an entire meal of bite-size appetizers. Diners skewer less-than-top-quality pieces of dark-meat chicken (or beef, seafood or tofu) and common vegetables, boil them in either a Thai coconut or vegetable broth, and eat them with a small bowl of pasty noodles. To compensate, order the banana fritters with house-made ginger ice cream and coconut-chocolate sauce --- otherwise you might leave hungry. |
