Mikiya Wagyu Shabu House Is Opening in Boston's Chinatown Neighborhood

A small group of all-you-can-eat shabu spots with roots in Southern California will be expanding to Boston.

According to an article from Boston Magazine, Mikiya Wagyu Shabu House is planning to open soon in the city's Chinatown neighborhood, moving into a space on Hudson Street. Based on the locations of the restaurant in California and Nevada, the new outlet in Boston could include four tiers of shabu that are priced at $45, $55, $78, and $98, though it hasn't been confirmed as of yet that this location will follow that of the others (stay tuned for updates).

The address for Mikiya Wagyu Shabu House in Chinatown is 21 Hudson Street (Unit 101), Boston, MA, 02111. The website for the business is at https://mikiyashabu.com/

[January 6, 2025 update: According to a poster within the Friends of Boston's Hidden Restaurants Facebook group page, Mikiya Wagyu Shabu House is now open in Chinatown.]

Yuki Is Opening in Somerville's Union Square

It looks like a new restaurant is coming to one of the hottest parts of .

Eater Boston is reporting that a place called Yuki Shabu - Sushi has a sign up on Bow Street in Union Square in the space where Union Square Donuts had been until moving a couple of storefronts away. The article also says that a phone call placed to the office of the city clerk indicated that the Somerville Licensing Commission's secretary does not have anything in her records showing that this restaurant has applied for a license to operate within the space. EB does say that the Somerville Inspectional Services Division shows that a construction company was given the green light to renovate the space last fall, however.

A subsequent update from Eater Boston mentions that a company called Yuki LLC was set up last May (with this information coming from public records from the Massachusetts Corporations Division) and that the manager listed is also a person behind the Thai restaurant Sweet Ginger, which is on Bow Street as well.

The address for Yuki is 16 Bow Street, Somerville, MA, 02143.

[March 16, 2016 update: A Twitter post from @EatBoston indicates that Yuki is now open, and that it is apparently called "Yuki Shabu Combo," focusing mainly on hot pot options rather than both hot pot and sushi.]
