Everyone’s looking to save money and get the most bang for their buck. This series will show you where you can save while still savoring a good meal.
Mikiya Wagyu Shabu House is known for its all-you-can-eat wagyu hot pot dinner experience, but the eatery also offers meat-centric lunch specials.
The restaurant, located on Kapiʻolani Boulevard, features hot pot lunch specials from 11:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Mondays to Fridays.
The wagyu lover special ($32 per person) includes Australian chuck rib-eye (you can upgrade to A5 chuck rib-eye for $5 more), Australian brisket and shoulder, a vegetable platter, unlimited appetizers, and unlimited beverages, rice and ice cream from the restaurant’s self-serve bar.
Meanwhile, the Australian set with seafood ($39 per person) includes many of the same offerings, along with a seafood platter. The seafood platter is an individual portion and includes snow crab, scallop, abalone, oyster and shrimp.
Of course, the amount of meat isn’t as vast as what you would get in the AYCE dinner, but it’s still a good amount for lunch — and for less than $40.
Choose from a variety of soup broths to get your hot pot lunch started. Options include house broth, spicy miso, sukiyaki and tomato. Seasonal flavors might also be featured; a tom yum chicken broth is currently available.
Unlimited appetizers are included with the lunch special. Take your pick from hot and cold options, ranging from shrimp tempura, sweet potato fries and fried chicken bites to seaweed salad and spicy clam.
The vegetable platter that’s included with the lunch special is designed for one individual. It includes mushrooms, lettuce, carrots, tofu and more.
Be sure to check out the eatery’s self-serve bar, which includes a variety of sauces and condiments you can use to enhance your hot pot experience. Condiments range from ponzu and sesame sauces to green onions and garlic.
The self-serve bar also includes wagyu curry, which should not be overlooked, due to its umami flavor.
