Shabu Shi conveyor belt dining at Central Festival Phuket earns a repeat visit in this food video from the Phuket Sandbox. Having been before and loved it, Dave and Kim go back to the all you can eat shabu experience and share what they paid and what they thought.
Conveyor Belt Shabu
Shabu Shi serves shabu shabu hot pot via a conveyor belt: plates of meat, seafood, vegetables, and more glide past your table, and you take what you want to cook in your own pot of broth. It is interactive, fast, and dangerously easy to overeat, which is exactly why the family had to go again after their first visit.
Central Festival Phuket
The restaurant sits inside Central Festival Phuket, the island's main shopping mall in Phuket Town. Malls in Thailand are dining destinations in their own right, and Central Festival is where many visitors end up on a rainy day or a shopping run. Combining a mall trip with conveyor belt hot pot makes for an easy, air conditioned outing.
Value and Verdict
Dave shares what they paid and what they thought, keeping the channel's practical streak intact. Fixed price conveyor belt dining offers predictable value, which matters to budget conscious travelers and retirees. For anyone staying in Phuket during the Sandbox or beyond, this is a tested recommendation from repeat customers.
