Finding This Outlet Inside Orchard Central
Shabu Sai’s Orchard Central branch sits on Level 8 of the mall, on the stretch of Orchard Road between Somerset and Dhoby Ghaut. If you’re coming from Somerset MRT, take the exit toward Orchard Central / 313@Somerset and follow the street level into the mall, it’s a straight lift ride up from there. Because the outlet is this high up in the building, first-time visitors sometimes walk past the ground-floor entrance looking for it; head straight for the lifts rather than searching the lower retail floors.
Why This Location Works for a Downtown Meal
This is the most centrally located Shabu Sai outlet on the island, which makes it a practical pick for anyone working or shopping along Orchard Road rather than a destination you’d travel across Singapore for. It suits a weekday lunch between meetings, a post-shopping dinner, or a catch-up with friends who are meeting from different parts of the city, Somerset MRT sits on the North-South Line, so it’s a one-line trip for most of the island.
What’s on the Buffet Here
The spread follows the standard Shabu Sai format — a build-your-own hotpot with a choice of soup bases, sliced meats, seafood, vegetables, noodles, and sauces. A few items worth knowing about if you’re planning what to order beyond the buffet basics:
