On Yasai is chain of shabu shabu restaurants. During lunch time they offer a lunch set menu. Menu is in English and Chinese. You can choose set that depends on the type of protein you want.

For those that don't want the hot pot (and seriously ... why when this place is hot pot!?!?!)
We ordered two sets ($98 and $148) so we could share the types of protein. We had the Kagoshima pork loin, Nigiita chicken jowl, Danish pork loin, US chuck short rib, US short rib. The meat was good quality and I did like the chicken jowl a lot. The hot pot items were pork and corn balls and konjac rolls which were ok. The vegetables seemed to not be as varied as before but at least fresh. The only disappointing thing was the soup base. It was flavorless. We usually upgrade to the soymilk which is one of the best in town. But apparently they now have gotten rid of it all together! The soups available for upgrade were not too interesting so we didn't upgrade. So, this tasted mostly like water.
Slightly disappointed as quality of choices seemed to have decreased. We could have had something better for the same price elsewhere. So, probably won't be back.
