Quick info
About Eat Tokyo G2 Shabu-Shabu
Eat Tokyo G2 Shabu-Shabu is a Japanese restaurant on Finchley Rd serving an all-you-can-eat shabu-shabu format built around a copper hot pot. The set includes sushi and sides alongside the hot pot, and a seafood set option is also available. Beyond the shabu-shabu, the kitchen offers a broader menu of 87 dishes, including miso soup, nasu dengaku, and both chicken and octopus kara-age, with deep fried gyoza and a vegetable gyoza version among the starters. The restaurant opens daily, and a wait is common given the demand for tables. A 10% service charge is added to the bill, as noted on the menu.

Customer Review Summary
The all-you-can-eat shabu-shabu draws the most praise, with reviewers pointing to the copper hot pot, beef rib eye, and a seared salmon roll with wasabi tobiko, alongside sushi and sides included in the set. Several call the seafood set for the shabu-shabu excellent and describe the value as strong for London, with one citing £29 per person, and the karaage and wakame salad also get a mention. Staff are repeatedly described as friendly and attentive, and multiple reviewers say they return weekly or plan to come back. A caveat surfaces around billing and presentation: one diner objected to a 10% service charge automatically added to the bill and found the food not especially well plated for the price paid. More seriously, one reviewer reports being served caviar they believed was short by weight and describes an unhelpful manager, and another reports finding hair wrapped in sashimi. One reviewer advises placing last orders before time runs out.
