9292 Shabu, Korean hotpot in Annandale

[Ericandblueboy]

AYCE on weekday lunch is $29.99.  You order the proteins first - they're pretty big portions so don't go crazy initially.  Then you go to the sauce bar and make your sauce.  And there's a whole bar where you can pick and choose your veggies, balls (fish, squid, etc.), tofu, noodles, dumplings, etc.  The quality is pretty good.  The pork tenderloin is pretty bland so skip that.  The rib eye, the lamb, and tripe were all really good.  You pick one of 6 broths and it's personal sized.  You put that broth on an induction top and you're good to go.

ETA, their mara broth is meant to be mala, but there're no Sichuan peppercorns in it.  So if you're looking for Sichuan hot pot, go to Uncle Liu or some place like that.
