If you hop on the 66 from there, you can get to a decent shabu place in Allston on Brighton Ave near Harvard Ave. It's a few doors towards Packard's Corner on the opposite side of Brighton from Sunset.
There is a shabu-shabu place (a branch of Chinatown's Shabu Zen) where the Braziliam meat place (aka Greenfields) was, on Brighton up past the Hess station. But I believe that Kaz was actually referring to Shabu Shabu Toki, which is on Brighton closer to Harvard and in fact nearly across from Sunset.
If you go to Coolidge Corner and have some money to burn, FuGaKyu on Beacon St one block down the hill from Finale has decent sushi and also does shabu shabu.
I wouldn't recommend it if you're looking to hold onto your budget however...and I'm not totally certain it's worth the cost either.
Take the 66

Yep and nope
Yep, Allstonian got it exactly right.
I actually forgot that Shabu Zen moved in at Greenfields. I was thinking of Toki.
Thanks!
