HEP, it's been a while. There's a Hankyu Men's Store here, which seems quite upscale and not easy to visit often. This place, on the other hand, is more affordable. I've been to the store at ATC a few times. It was before lunchtime on a holiday, so there weren't many customers... I sat at a table in the back. I ordered the lunch menu "Pork Shoulder Loin Set Meal for 1,150 yen including tax." It's a good deal compared to the 1,600 yen it would cost at night. Shabu-shabu restaurants often offer all-you-can-eat options, which is nice. It's the cheapest menu, but the meat is delicious. The vegetables are self-serve at the buffet corner. The rice isn't amazing, but it's better than the store in Namba (laughs). The waitress was alone, but provided great service. Thank you for the meal, even though it was the cheapest menu.

One of the places I like to go to when I want to enjoy some alone time. There are hardly any noisy customers, so I can relax and enjoy shabu-shabu with plenty of vegetables. The meat is decent and I chose the beef shoulder loin. Normally, my food photos on Eatery are mostly brown, but when it's in a pot, the green area increases, right? The freshness of the vegetables is also a great point of this restaurant. On this day, I leisurely enjoyed shabu-shabu for about an hour. Thank you for the meal.

After visiting Osaka Tenmangu Shrine for Hatsumode, I came to Umeda. It's a weekday, but Umeda is bustling with more people than last year due to the New Year. I strolled around the fashion buildings and department stores before feeling hungry, so I decided to have dinner. Shabu Sen Hepnavio has always left an impression on me, and my family and I love shabu-shabu, so I've been wanting to go there for a while. You take the elevator at Hepnavio to the 7th floor. Shabu Sen has a large panel photo on the outside, and the interior is bright and inviting. The restaurant is known for its all-you-can-eat shabu-shabu, but I can't do that anymore (laughs), so I ordered the Beef Shoulder Loin Set from the menu. It costs 1,500 yen. The set includes beef shoulder loin meat, rice, udon, green onions, and grated radish for dipping, and the vegetables for dipping are all-you-can-eat at the self-serve bar (90-minute limit). I picked my favorite vegetables, put them in the pot, and once it started boiling, I dipped the meat in. When the color changed, I dipped it in the sesame sauce and enjoyed it. The meat is thin but tender, with a good balance of lean and fat. The quantity is quite generous. The sesame sauce is dark brown with a strong sesame flavor and a hint of spiciness. The vegetables are eaten with ponzu sauce, which is salty with a mild acidity. There are about 20 different types of vegetables at the self-serve bar, which is a nice touch. After finishing the udon, I was already full. Most of the customers seemed to be young people looking for the all-you-can-eat option, and considering the location in Hepnavio, I thought this shabu-shabu set was a good deal in terms of content and price.

Shabu Sen on the 7th floor of NaviO (Men's Building). I received a 300 yen discount coupon when I watched a movie in July, and since the expiration date was the end of August, I visited after a long time. The "pork shoulder loin set meal" (large size) was 1265 yen → 965 yen. All-you-can-eat vegetables, free rice refills, and udon included. There were about 15 types of vegetables in a covered container. I love leeks, so there were plenty of them. The pork shoulder loin had a good balance of fat and lean meat. It was delicious when dipped in the homemade sesame sauce. The leeks were cut diagonally, cooked well, and had a sweet taste that went well with ponzu sauce. The closing udon was like Sanuki udon. I was full and left half of it (also half of the rice). The male staff member who served us at the hall was very polite. The vegetables included cabbage, leeks, carrots, bunashimeji mushrooms, tofu, wakame seaweed, baby corn, shiitake mushrooms, aburaage, and various others.

At lunchtime, when I have time, I like to leisurely enjoy shabu-shabu by myself. It's something I can't eat when I'm in a rush, and the best part is the all-you-can-eat vegetables! On this particular day, the komatsuna (Japanese mustard spinach) looked delicious, so I piled my plate high with it. It was fresh, not frozen, and really tasty. I only took a little bit of the broccoli, as it had a frozen texture. The Chinese cabbage didn't look very appealing, so I took a small portion of that. As for the meat, it wasn't my priority, but I still wanted a decent amount, so I went for the large serving. It's not a fancy or expensive place, but being able to eat lunch slowly without worrying about time is a luxury.

If you're looking for shabu-shabu, it's great to be able to eat all you want in a healthy way. It's amazing how having vegetables with it helps you feel satisfied at just the right amount. They offer 10 different lunch options at different prices. This time, we're introducing the pork shoulder loin shabu-shabu. There's a time-limited all-you-can-eat plan, but the amount of meat is fixed, and you can enjoy unlimited udon or rice, and hot pot vegetables for just 1,045 yen (tax included). It's a recent trend to eat vegetables before meat, and it makes perfect sense. They provide homemade sesame sauce and ponzu, but typically, ponzu is for vegetables and sesame sauce is for pork shabu-shabu. The ponzu comes with plenty of green onions and grated radish... After a quick dip, onto the pork shabu-shabu. The name really fits... it's easy to understand how to eat it just by the name. Enjoy the shabu-shabu. Finish with a warm soup.

I had reserved tickets for a movie, so I decided to have dinner before it starts. I ate at a restaurant in the same building as the Namba OCAT movie theater. Since I was short on time, I chose a restaurant that I could get into quickly and eat right away. It was a shabu-shabu buffet, which was my first time trying. I was excited. The vegetables were self-serve at the buffet. I started with the vegetables and soon the meat arrived. Both the pork and beef were very fresh and delicious. It was a great meal.

Had lunch in Umeda in September 2019. I wasn't very familiar with the area, so I wandered around Hep "Navio" for a while thinking it was Hep "Five" (sweat). The restaurant wasn't there, but for those who know, "Hep Navio" and "Hep Five" are in different buildings (lol). Finally arrived for lunch. The "Ougi Course" was about 1,600 yen for all-you-can-eat in 50 minutes!!! I thought it was short, but spending just under an hour for lunch felt normal. Not too rushed. You can freely take vegetables from the bar on the left as well, it's casual. The shabu-shabu meat was decent for the price. Two 350 yen oolong teas added up to 700 yen, so the total bill came to around 4,100 yen. A satisfying lunch with a full stomach. Thank you for the meal.

I visited the restaurant for lunch! It was a weekday, but it was quite crowded, which surprised me! I ordered a set meal for about 880 yen, which was very cheap! Plus, there was a free-flowing vegetable bar, so the cost performance was great. The meat was delicious, and there were various vegetables like sweet potatoes, mushrooms, and something like dango, so I really enjoyed it. However, what I really didn't like was the attitude of the staff. They were so engrossed in chatting that they didn't notice my slow progress with my chopsticks. Even though there was still meat on my plate that I hadn't cooked yet, they took it away without confirming if it was okay. They said, "I'll take this away" without a smile and quickly cleared the plate. It made me wonder about the training of the part-time staff. It was disappointing that the food was delicious, but the staff's unfriendly service left a bad impression. I felt so uncomfortable that I don't think I will visit again.

The customer service is poor and the side menu is lacking, but there are plenty of better options for all-you-can-eat shabu-shabu.

I rarely go to HEP, but couldn't decide what to eat, so I ended up choosing shabu-shabu. The appealing point was the all-you-can-eat vegetables. I ordered the beef shoulder loin set. The atmosphere inside the restaurant felt a bit lonely, even though there were customers. The variety of vegetables was impressive, and for around 1000 yen, it was a good deal. Since the pot was large, even eating alone, you could put a lot of vegetables in it. As for the meat, it was as shown in the picture. There are several similar restaurants, but if you are looking for vegetables, this is a good place. However, I cannot recommend the meat or the sauce.

In the 7th floor restaurant area of Umeda HEP Navio, there is a shabu-shabu restaurant that I visited for lunch after watching a movie at TOHO Cinemas. The restaurant has about 30 seats and offers various shabu-shabu set meals with beef or pork, as well as all-you-can-eat courses (udon, vegetables, rice, and hot pot are all-you-can-eat in any set meal course). I decided to try the Hazuki course for 50 minutes of all-you-can-eat for 1680 yen, which includes unlimited beef, pork shoulder loin, and chicken meatballs. The vegetables are also all-you-can-take in a buffet style, with over 20 types including Chinese cabbage, mushrooms, maroni, tofu, and mochi. I thought the additional meat would be frozen, but it was not bad at all. However, the sauce was not great, especially the ponzu sauce was very spicy. They also offer set meals for less than 1000 yen if you prefer that over all-you-can-eat. Overall, the attraction of this restaurant is being able to enjoy shabu-shabu at a reasonable price, especially with the all-you-can-eat option for vegetables.

The shabu-shabu at other stores is good, but what's wrong with this place!? I was surprised! It's all-you-can-eat, but it was terrible. The staff were rude, the dishes were washed noisily, so I couldn't relax. The beef kept shrinking and there was hardly any meat to eat. They brought out different meat than what we ordered. They didn't check on us even when our food got cold. Is this really a prime location? I won't be coming back here.

I went to a movie theater at NaviO and on my way back, it was just before 3 o'clock, so I made it in time for lunch. I ordered the domestic pork belly set meal (980 yen), which was a very good deal for lunch (seems like it's cheap for now). The set meal includes pork belly shabu-shabu meat on a plate, free refills of rice, udon, lunch soup, and a self-service all-you-can-eat vegetable bar. The vegetable bar has a variety of options like Chinese cabbage, bean sprouts, komatsuna, kuzukiri, wakame, nanohana, shiitake mushrooms, enoki mushrooms, thin fried tofu, white onions, chrysanthemum greens, tofu, konjac, small round rice cakes, shimeji mushrooms, thinly sliced daikon and carrots, sweet potatoes, baby corn, and more. It's like a salad bar, very enjoyable. I particularly liked the thinly sliced daikon and carrots, and the blanched nanohana, so I kept going back for more. The small round rice cakes were a fun surprise, like white rice balls, and they cooked quickly, making it enjoyable. The dipping sauces were ponzu and sesame sauce, with green onions and grated radish on the table. The portion of pork belly was surprisingly generous for one person, so one plate was quite satisfying. The meat quality was not bad either, so considering the price, it felt like a good deal. Plus, with the all-you-can-eat vegetables, and the option for rice and udon refills, I think it's enough to fill you up. Families, young couples, and groups of women were all dining there, the atmosphere was bright and clean, making it very welcoming. Overall, it was a very satisfying and good value lunch experience.

It's been a while since I reviewed a pork dish. I went to Shabu Sen on the 7th floor of Men's Kan and tried their domestic pork belly shabu-shabu set meal (980 yen). The price was a bit discounted due to a promotion. The set came with 14-15 slices of domestic pork belly, which was quite a generous portion of meat. But what stood out was the variety and quantity of self-service vegetables. You could help yourself to tofu, shiitake mushrooms, green onions, onions, bok choy, chrysanthemum greens, daikon radish, carrots, enoki mushrooms, shimeji mushrooms, konjac, seaweed, Chinese cabbage, and more. Surprisingly, the sweet potatoes were really good when boiled slowly. The set also included unlimited rice, udon noodles, and soup, all for less than 1000 yen. However, eating shabu-shabu alone on a Sunday afternoon at Men's Kan without shopping is quite a funny idea when you think about it.

I ended up choosing this shabu-shabu place♪ It's not very spacious, but the distance between customers and staff is just right, making the service (like adding more meat or water) very efficient (＾＾) I didn't have to call the staff often, and adjusting the heat on the IH stove was easy♪ There's one IH stove for every two-person table, so you don't have to reach too far♪ The staff's shabu-shabu patterned uniforms were nice too (lol) The meat was delicious (●＾＿＾●) However, they bring the meat to your table, but you have to get your own vegetables... but the variety of vegetables was different, with some unusual choices like wood ear mushrooms, seaweed, and baby corn, which made me happy♪ They also brought out grated daikon radish to each table! I wonder which is more popular, Yodobashi's shabu-shabu or Nabeo's shabu-sen? If it were up to me, I'd choose Nabeo's shabu-sen★ There were couples and colleagues, and although it was a weekday and not crowded, we weren't rushed even though the course was for 90 minutes (sorry for overstaying；；；) They had sherbet for dessert, with a choice of four flavors, and it was delicious (＾ω＾) We were able to pay separately at the end, so thank you for the meal!

I went to "Shabu Sen" on the 7th floor of Hankyu Men's Building (Hep Navio 7th floor). I ordered the all-you-can-eat shabu-shabu "Asuka Course" (90 minutes all-you-can-eat) for 3120 yen. It includes premium tasty beef, chicken meatballs, pork loin, vegetables, udon, and sherbet. The meat is brought to you by the staff, while the vegetables are in a buffet style where you can take as much as you want. There is a wide variety of vegetables available like pumpkin, Chinese cabbage, carrots, cabbage, shiitake mushrooms, bean sprouts, enoki mushrooms, white leeks, fu, shiratama, and more. The meat was tastier than I expected. It is frozen meat thawed out, so the beef tends to fall apart when shabu-shabu-ed in the pot, but considering the price, it's understandable. Sesame sauce and ponzu are provided on the table, which was convenient for me as I like to add more sauce. The seating was a bit close to each other, and there was no smoking section, so it was a bit bothersome when the person next to me smoked. The staff were attentive and noticed when the meat plate was running low before I even called them, they were always looking around.
