Shabusen Granville Closed?
 

1

Closed at the end of January. Lease was up and the owner of the building did not renew the lease.

What do you miss exactly? Their yellow-ish beef?

They were an awesome place to visit, maybe 10-15 years ago. God I'm getting old. . .

I didn't ask about Manuel, but Philleas is at the Burrard location. No word on if they are going to open a new location.

This place had the worst parking lot that ever existed.

It is like the retarded nephew of Crystal Mall parking.

Why put $25 worth of garbage into your mouth?

Someone please insert your ur mama jokes here.....

To clarify, although i didn't know about the lease, the company itself is sold to a new owner and the granville location is closed permanently. no word on a new location though doubtful. philleas or however you spell his name is at burrard, but is a lazy mother fucker.

why do these idiots never remember to renew their lease, it happened to the one in metrotown across pizzaslice

I called and they said they couldn't afford to keep up with the rent..-.-

I thought they made tons of business cause it was always packed and they for sure made

their money on Sapporos :)


But Shabusen was the best place to go for ayce, aswell as Korean BBQ. Shame it closed

Cause now Burrard is always full

Far from the best for either but a shame its gone I quenched many a craving there

Damn my parents used to go here when they were at SFU lol

Damn this was the shabusen I'd go to cause I live really close to it...now there's only the burrard location.

Damn used to be good
I love making tuna tataki on the grill

I used to love burning shit in the grill AFTER we were all full LOL. We just burned all the extras we had. Good times..pretty sure other people have done that.

^my gf and her coworkers hated people who did that. so much work to clean the grills after

that was their punishment for charging for leftover food

why don't they just use oxyclean like in the commercials lol

Damn, still couldnt believe when you guys told me its closed.
So sad...still one of my fav. place for korean bbq/sushi...good atmosphere and service was fair. Always ordered a bottle of Sapporo or rum/coke with my food.

Told my GF yesterday and she couldnt believe it either...I told her to call the phone number and it said THE NUMBER YOU HAVE REACHED IS NOT IN SERVICE. :cry:

Well..we didnt really do much..just one or two pieces. It's not like we went overboard on it =/

i liked the shabusen downtown on burrard cuz it had jap chae on the menu =P

nowadays, i dont eat as much as i did when i was younger, those all you can eat's are winning =/

haha

they are closed because lease was up, and the rent was raised to close to 50k, owner did not want to pay that crap. plus it is now sold to new owners, the old boss retiring. New owners are mainly workers in burrard(managers+chefs of burrard) granville gone forever, and all staff were laid off. Granville had to be one of the nicer restaurants in that area and Burrard location's menu was plain jane, with horrible sanitation. they got several warnings from the food safety people already, and plus it had lots of rats at one point! Head chef always wore flipflops to during work, and 5 second rule applies. fat guy philias is now in burrard, manuel quit. And those who love the chicken karage... you might be tasting little bit of nose leftovers because its a fact ive seen the fat chef that guy cook and pick his nose
