There are many Mo-Mo Paradise outlets across town. The one I visited was at Shinjuku, across the road from Isetan. It was located at a corner, on the 8th Level. I read about this restaurant on VT'er Achikochi's Tokyo pages. How did I get there? Well, we walked towards Shinjuku East, and towards Isetan. From there, using the print out from the website cited below, I was able to get a very kind lady (those that sell lottery tickets at street corners) to point us in the right direction. There is another Mo Mo Paradise located in the same or similar area. I stumbled upon it when wandering around the streets of Shinjuku during my visit in October 2006. The price was slightly different so in the end, I still went back to the one I had been to before. :-)
Syabu-syabu or sukiyaki. They are similar, but with different types of broth. Sukiyaki is beef and vegetables, and usually served with raw egg that you can throw on top, while syabu-syabu's main focus is on the thinly sliced raw beef that you cook yourself in a hot pot, with some vegetables. How to eat: Hot broth is placed in front of you in a large metal bowl. You get a bowl for each person. The staff will bring you plates of thinly sliced beef and a bowl of rice (refillable). You cook these slices of beef in the hot broth. Once you have finished one plate of beef, you can ask for another plate and continue to fill your tummy till you can't eat anymore. You serve the vegetables (which are raw-you have to cook them in the hot broth) and cold drinks yourself from a nearby pushcart. Now site, back, relax and enjoy! We had the lunch, all you can eat menu at 980 yen (about US$10) each. What a steal! For dinner, it costs twice as much. The only unusual thing that I encountered was that the drink that looked like cold tea, but tasted like chicory or coffee! ************** Update: Oct 2006 I brought my husband here & we had a friend with us. we ate a lot. Besides beef, we also tried the pork shabu shabu. They were both good but in the end, we still enjoyed the beef more. We also stuffed up on lots of vegetables, enoki mushrooms and slices of tofu. The bill came up to around 4500 Yen for the three of us. mmm oishi (delicious) & good value for money!
