Laoag City just got a major upgrade with the opening of Nabe Unlimited Japanese Hotpot at SM City Laoag! Finally, a good and premium hotpot experience is here—and I can confidently say, this might be one of the first of its kind in the city.
For hotpot lovers and foodies alike, Nabe offers more than just a meal; it brings people together. True to its name, which comes from the Japanese word “nabe” (meaning “pot”), it embodies the tradition of family gatherings around a warm, hearty hotpot on every special occasion. This shared experience is exactly what Nabe envisions for its guests, creating not just food, but moments worth savoring.

How Nabe Works
Step 1: Choose Your Soup Base
Start your hotpot journey by selecting a soup base that suits your taste. On our visit, I was excited to try their Laksa, but sadly it wasn’t available that day. Instead, we went with Shoyu and Sze Chuan, and wow—they were absolutely delicious! The Shoyu had a rich and flavorful taste, while the Sze Chuan brought that spicy kick I was craving.
Is It Worth It?
Without a doubt, Nabe delivers a premium dining experience that sets it apart from other hotpot places. From the freshest ingredients to the flavorful broths and the optional menu upgrades, this Japanese hotpot is perfect for group gatherings, family dinners, or even intimate dates.
The highlight of my Nabe experience was the unlimited side dishes upgrade—maki rolls, chicken karaage, tempura, and more. For just ₱288 extra per person, these additions made our meal even more indulgent. Super sulit for the amount and quality of food you get!
