Like the larval kangaroo baby, this moderned-up shabu-shabu house cannot survive outside the protective pouch of your booze. While there, feast a galaxy of dishes, including more homemade ramens than an army of USF students could take down: sparerib, spicy miso butter corn, even deep-fried Japanese chicken nuggets -- which you should order cautiously, as the Hamburgler is working very hard to broaden his culinary horizons.
