Editor’s Note

Last updated 3 Aug 2026

Our take on Shabu Sai at NEX is that it offers a generally positive shabu-shabu experience, particularly for those seeking fresh ingredients and attentive service.

Reviews frequently highlight the quality of the meats and the variety of fresh ingredients available, contributing to a satisfying meal.

The broth options are often praised for enhancing the dining experience.

However, we note a specific criticism regarding the tomato mala soup, which one diner found to be inauthentic and poor-tasting, suggesting it might be an item to avoid or that the recipe needs refinement.

The off-peak special, priced at $15.99 for adults from Monday to Thursday between 2:46 PM and 4:45 PM, stands out as a particularly good value.

We recommend visiting during these off-peak hours for a more economical and potentially less crowded experience, especially if you're looking for a reliable shabu-shabu option in the Serangoon area.
