Boston foodies can soon indulge in a California-born sensation as Mikiya Wagyu Shabu House sets to make its grand entrance in the city's bustling Chinatown neighborhood. The burgeoning chain with a penchant for all-you-can-eat shabu shabu is renowned for its upscale approach to the Japanese hotpot dining. A recent scoop from Boston Magazine reveals that the Hudson Street space in Chinatown is where Mikiya will call its new East Coast home.

While exact pricing for this location has yet to be confirmed, the offerings are expected to fall in line with the existing branches. Customers looking to slurp down luxurious broths amidst the East Coast’s winter chill might just have to prepare to shell out anywhere from $45 to $98 for the experience. Each tier promises an upgrade in the wagyu beef's quality, an essential draw for patrons seeking to truly taste the distinct richness wagyu is known for.

The report details the success trail blazed from its original Temple City spot in Southern California, including subsequent outposts in Cerritos and Las Vegas. Mikiya’s expansion is characterized by a careful selection of ingredients and the promise of an "unmatched dining pleasure." According to the restaurant's website, "We started our adventure with the opening of the first Mikiya in Temple City, Southern California. It’s thrilling to share that we have expanded with our second and third locations in Cerritos and Las Vegas."

Slated for 21 Hudson Street (Unit 101), Mikiya Wagyu Shabu House seems poised to quickly become a key player in Boston's diverse culinary scene. With the Chinatown area already a hotbed for dining enthusiasts, adding another high-end option can only bolster the neighborhood's reputation as a food lover's haven. For those eager to dip their chopsticks into what Mikiya has to offer, the only piece left to complete the puzzle is the exact opening date, which has been kept under wraps thus far, as noted by Boston Magazine.

While taste buds tingle in anticipation, Mikiya’s own anticipation to share their vision nationwide is palpable. "Stay tuned for more Mikiya locations opening throughout the United States!" the company shared on its site. Meanwhile, Bostonians will soon be able to validate whether the wagyu shabu experience meets the hype. Until then, it's a waiting game, one that seems almost guaranteed to pay off in savory broth and tender, marbled beef.
