A new Shabu Shack is coming to downtown Sacramento at 606 L. Street, according to city records. The new location will be managed by Richard Quang, who also owns Shabu Shack in Elk Grove and South San Francisco.
Shabu Shack is a family-owned Japanese hot pot restaurant concept serving thinly sliced meat, vegetables, and other ingredients dipped in various flavored broths. The owner started as a humble employee in the shabu industry and ventured forward to owning his own business. The brand has since been growing steadily.
“My wife’s journey from a shabu-shabu restaurant server to owner is a story of unwavering determination. Her story is a testament to the power of hard work and a clear vision, showcasing how humble beginnings can lead to remarkable success. Today we are still a family-owned and operated restaurant based out of the greater Sacramento area.” Richard Quang, co-owner of Shabu Shack told What Now Sacramento in an email.
The Downtown Sacramento location will take over a 4,033 square-foot location inside The Fredrick building, situated on the L street side and facing the Golden 1 Center. The restaurant is applying for building permits. Quang anticipates to open in March 2024.
Another Shabu Shack location is planned for Davis, CA inside Davis Commonns, according to Shabu Shack’s official website. Quang said they are not planning on any additional Sacramento area locations for 2024, but that will change if an opportunity presents itself.
