Medan carnivores, is the 150k all-you-can-eat deal at Shaburi & Kintan worth the hype? This spot offers a feast for meat lovers, with the tender King Karubi being a standout highlight. Discover a game-changing hack for the dipping sauce that you won't want to miss! While the service can be inconsistent, this review tells you how to make the most of your visit, what to order, and what to skip for a satisfying, protein-packed meal.
Girls, have you also been seeing that 150k all-you-can-eat deal from Shaburi & Kintan all over your feeds lately?[1] As someone who can't live without meat, seeing this price made me go straight up Anjay! I immediately dragged my friend to the Centre Point location to check it out for you guys and see if it's really worth it!
As soon as you go in, it's the classic setup where you can choose between shabu-shabu (Shaburi) and barbecue (Kintan), or get both. There's quite a variety of meat, so meat lovers will be really happy. The King Karubi[2] that they officially hype up, to be honest, is actually pretty good. The meat is soft, tender, and juicy, and it's just incredible when you grill it until it's sizzling with oil! We also tried the seasonal limited truffle oil beef tongue[3], which you can get by adding a little extra money. The truffle flavor is quite rich, so it's worth trying for something new. But the best part of the whole experience was surprisingly the dipping sauce! You HAVE to let the staff mix it for you![4] What you mix yourself is on a completely different level compared to their mix. Trust me, they're the professionals.
However, the ambiance... is pretty polarizing. Some people say the lighting, music, and vibe are on point, but when I went, it just felt like a regular buffet restaurant. It wasn't even full during peak dinner time, which was a bit weird. 🤷♀️
To be honest, the service is really a matter of luck. My previous experiences at the Jakarta branches were all Mantap, but this one in Medan... emmm... they were a bit slow with clearing plates, and I had to ask several times for a soup refill[5]. I hope I just had bad luck that day. Oh, by the way, don't even try the gyudon soup. It's hard to describe in a good way, so I suggest skipping it entirely[6].
The usual, here's the TL;DR guide:
- Who should go for it: Students and big eaters. Keep an eye on their IG for the 150k Millennial/Gen Z promo[7], at this price, it's definitely worth it.
- The dipping sauce hack: Don't do it yourself, just call the staff over and say you want the "racikan saus yang paling enak" (the most delicious sauce mix), and they'll know exactly what you mean.
- Order Do's and Don'ts: Be bold with your meat orders, especially the King Karubi[8]. But you can pass on side dishes like the gyudon soup[9].
- Mindset is key: The service can be inconsistent[10], so don't have high expectations. Just think of it as a place to focus on eating meat and Nongkrong, and you'll have a much better time.
- Good news for gym-goers: They surprisingly also have a promotion for fitness enthusiasts[11], so friends looking to load up on protein should check it out
- Just 150k for all-you-can-eat Shaburi & Kintan! Meat lovers will go Anjay! Perfect for students & big eaters [1].
- The King Karubi is incredibly tender and juicy. Grill it till it sizzles. It's so good, even the staff hypes it up [2].
- Don't mix your own sauce! Ask staff to make their secret dipping sauce. It takes the flavor to a whole new level [3].
