Neo Nabe in Makiki

Went to check this some friends and it was pretty good! It's almost like a mix between nabe and shabu shabu. The broth was very tasty and you can choose your broth type, as well as the ingredients. The restaurant was a little small so it'll get kinda crowded as word gets out. Good idea going after the late night crowd though. They're going to have live music on certain nights as well.

Neo Nabe, located on South King Street in the same parking lot asAnyplace Cocktail Lounge, is a new twist on shabu shabu. Food is cooked in a pot tableside, with different broths used for flavor and to put a twist on the traditional idea of Japanese nabemono.

The best part about Neo Nabe is its hours -- from 5 p.m. to 2 a.m. Sundays through Thursdays, and until 5 a.m. on Friday and Saturday nights. You can thankRyan Chang andBlaise Sato, two local promoters who teamed withMoses Gomez andJace Kanemoto to open the restaurant.

The guys wanted to provide a spot for their friends to eat late at night, with healthier options than hamburgers or fried breakfast items. Judging by the crowds during last weekend's soft opening, they've definitely found their niche ...
