👍 Came here for lunch on a weekend and it quickly filled up after we arrived. Although it's called shabu shabu, this place is a mix of Korean and Chinese too. It's all you can eat, so you can pretty much grab whatever you want minus the meat and soup broth. They have a pretty good selection of veggies...

    Came here for lunch on a weekend and it quickly filled up after we arrived. Although it's called shabu shabu, this place is a mix of Korean and Chinese too. It's all you can eat, so you can pretty much grab whatever you want minus the meat and soup broth. They have a pretty good selection of veggies, seafood, noodles, etc. They have a good choice of dipping sauces as well. The meats were tasty, but what made me take a star off was the flavor of the broths. We had a hard time really tasting the flavors of the broths, and it's such a big component of shabu shabu. Other than that, I definitely recommend it if you're in the mood for ayce shabu shabu

    This is basically a Chinese style hot pot place. I wouldn’t call it a Shabu Shabu restaurant where you dip neatly arranged meats and veggies for in a hot pot of simmering soup. Shabu-Shabu is a Japanese nabemono hotpot dish of thinly sliced meat and vegetables boiled in water and served with dipping sauces. Clearly at this restaurant, it’s more or less of a Chinese hot pot place where you get an individual pot of hot soup and order some meats and then add on all you can eat veggies from a salad bar. The service was very good but the management was lousy. They don’t let you know how long you would have to wait when you put down your name on the waiting list and they never answer their phone when you try to call. The meats were mediocre. Most of the sliced meats we got tasted like paper. The only meat I like was the lamb. The AYCE side dish counter was not very COVID proof as the utensils for picking the veggies were touched by everyone and were kind of dirty. I avoided going for those sides. The price is not too bad but may not want to go back.

    My wife and I have been to different Shabu Shabu restaurants in different area and try them out each restaurant have different flavors,ingredients and cooking methods to make a good Shabu Shabu. Our friends brought us to the restaurant to try it out inside the restaurant was really nice. Our friends recommend to us order all you can eat for $31.99 foe the weekend. They have five types of broth and eleven types of meats plus they also have seafood,noodles,vegetables and other items at the restaurant. Overall my wife and I enjoy the food very good we bring family and friends to All that Shabu.

    positives: the parking is good, although the location is very people busy, be prepared for traffic during peak hours. the meat quality is good. the selection of stuff from the buffet is amazing. drinks and soft serve ice cream is included. so the price is also very good. the negatives: 1. the soup base is watery.. our table tried several of the soup bases and they were all very weak. 2. the meats are not as generous per serving as other places and small cuts. 3. they stick to the time limit, but rudely... we were talking and having ice cream, end of a nice meal and all, and the main waiter guy puts our bill on the table and just says "you need to pay" ... that could have been handled much nicer. overall, I would eat here again, but it's not my in my top 3 shabu places.

    their broth is tasty (don't recommend the taste of plain beef broth though) and they have a looot of options for your toppings. drinks are included and a lot of sauces to mix too. they have hot food that tastes really good as well. have been here at slow and busy times so cleanliness depends on the people but the place itself is really nice.

    All you can eat shabu shabu that also has Korean side dishes. Been looking for an AYCE place since my fav place closed for good. This place is alright. Decent selection of items and there's also a sauce bar, drink station and ice cream machine. Several soup bases to choose from. They serve you the meat and it comes in small portions each time.

    So good! The meat, the noodle selections, and the ice cream 😄 Came here with my husband and two friends. Didn’t make reservations, it was a week night at 6:30pm and we were able to get seats! You choose the broth first (4 options) and then the meat selections. There is a buffet style for some cooked foods (their meatballs are good, the dumplings, and the sesame balls). There is also buffet style for the veggies (my fav are spinach and bok choy), noodles (spinach noodles, udon, and ramen are my fav), and lots of other food items! You can choose many different sauces (sesame is my choice of sauce there). And there is an ice cream machine (the usual vanilla, mixed, or chocolate) with cute tiny spoons and little plastic cups. The servers/waiters/waitresses are super nice and took my plate once. They come back once in awhile to ask if you need more broth too. It’s about $31 per a person for all you can eat. It’s very yummy and I recommend it! Plenty of parking as well and located next to so many other stores.

    Although I haven't had Shabu before, it seems like this is more akin to chinese hot pot as other reviewers have mentioned, but offering more korean than chinese dishes. Regardless, the food was delicious! Huge selection of seafood and vegetables, along with a small section of hot foods. There are quite a bit of Korean dishes like kimchi, japchae, and bulgogi, all of which were surprisingly great for a place that doesn't specialize in cooked dishes. Hot pots are individual here which is nice as you can flavor your broth however you like, but rhe drawback being you'll have to eat a lot to get a rich depth of flavor in the broth. Meats were great quality and everything is ayce. Definitely a must try for any hot pot/ Korean food fan!

    It’s our first time eating at All That Shabu in the city of Alhambra, CA. It is an AYCE shabu-shabu. It was an okay experience, nothing to be excited about. Plenty of vegetables and seafood ingredients to choose from to add to your soup pot. Their meat choices are also okay, of average quality. There are plenty of hot food items available at the buffet counter, which i really enjoyed. This is actually what differentiates this place from the other AYCE shabu-shabu restaurants I’ve been to. The service is great! The servers are very nice and friendly. There was plenty of tables and are spread out around the restaurant. The only CON eating here is the meat ordering. Normally, in other places, the meat order is 2-3 meat orders per person, even if you are dining as a group. Everyone has their own meat preference right. Here at All That Shabu, it is 3 meat orders per table, no matter how big your party is. Also, they are pretty good with keeping tabs on their 90 minutes time limit. We were handed our bill with only fifteen minutes left and the server asked us for our last call order for meats. Overall, we still had a great experience and enjoyed our meals. Prices as of today is $26.99 for weekdays lunch up to 3:00 pm, then $33.99 for weekdays dinner, and all day weekend. All prices includes fountain drinks with free refills. We are definitely going back, if we are in the area. Thank you!

    We originally planned on going to Tasty Pot. Unfortunately, they were very busy so we were on a wait list. Tasty pot was also going to close soon and we feared waiting to get seated so we just walked over to this place. What a great idea! All that Shabu had a great selection of meats. But my favorite was the salad bar which is more than the name. It had everything but the prime meats. It has clams, oysters, fish, shrimp, fish cakes, tons of vegetables, and a variety of sauces. The meats you order at the table. There was a nice selection of beef and pork. There was also chicken but who the heck is ordering chicken? The price is a bit higher than comparable hot pot establishments in the area but I’ll come here again and again. Weekend price is $31 all day. The price comes with a soup base and all-you-can-eat plus a drink. For the drinks, they have green and black tea and a traditional soda fountain. For dessert, if you make it that far, there is an ice cream bar. I cannot vouch for the ice cream as I had a the soup sweats when we rolled ourselves out. This isn’t over!

    This easily became my favorite AYCE shabu place. I’m really wondering why I’ve only recently found out about this place. The service was great, and the vegetables and meat were fresh. Your dinner comes with a free soft drink (lemme say it again, FREE). They have a good meat selection, and the service was pretty quick. You can order 3 meats per round, and the wait between rounds is never too long. The staff are always quick to walk around checking in to see if you want to order more, refill broth, etc. The filet mignon and signature beef ribeye was absolutely delicious and I found myself ordering that over and over again.

    It’s okay. The crab , squid and shrimp ,doesn’t fresh. The side order dishes such as gyodong beef are too salty. The service is good. Beef quality is ok. We paid 76 plus 11 tip, for two persons ayce 90 mins. Because it is near my house, I visited this place again on Dec 6th 2023. I paid 82 dollars for 2 persons dinner. I came on 3.45 pm . There is one female server told us that we can have three items only in one order. You would not believe that the pot had never hot until 20 minutes pass. Once we got orders,We ate it all quickly because the portion of meat is very thin even though the meat served in big plates. Nothing much in there. I attempted to order second round, the female server was trying to hide and look her phone all the time that she worked. During one hour, we got orders only three rounds of thin portions of meat and the pot didn’t hot. The stove is very slow. Then I got another young male server that offered better service than that stingy female server that just left her shift. I got told that we can order only last round because our time is end. It was sucks. I paid 82 dollars for rice on the bar. Bad service, expensive, small portions of meat, pot didn’t hot. Everything was so bad. Sitting waiting for boiling water, when it boiled, no meat to serve. They tried to make people eating food , rice, kimchi , veggies on the bar. Very bad and mad experiences . Food quality’s is poor. Bad service with that lazy service and bad attitude server. That woman should not work in service business. How can you expect people to tip you more? When you did not done your jobs well.

    I am pretty happy with this place. They have a good variety of quality meat for you to choose from, they also have salad bar and some ready made food for you to consume right away. Their drinks include soda, iced tea and so on. Their service is good. Our server made sure we have enough food and soup. This is a rather new place and it is spacious. I like their simple decoration. It deserves my 5 stars.

    All-you-can-eat Asian style cuisine. A buffet of all kinds of vegetables and seafood you cook at your table in boiling soup broth of your choice. You order your meat selection separately and they deliver it to your table. Up to 3 meats at a time. I mixed ramen, spinach, beansprouts, bok choy, quail eggs, pork dumplings, along with meat in a boiling pan of soup broth. And pull out individual items into a small bowl before eating. Remember that you are pulling food from boiling soup that is very hot. A couple times I didn't remember, ouch! Korean BBQ was okay but it's all about meat there and rice without all the other fixings of a buffet of vegetables and other seafood Be Cautious, you can overeat.

    AYCE Hotpot with 90 minutes limit. You can only order three plates of meat at a time. They put very little meat on each plate. The servers barely came to our table. I had to wave multiple times to get their attention. It does come with unlimited soft drinks and ice creams. There was cooked food like Korean spicy rice cake, japchae, fried chicken, but they were cold.

    Sunday funday hot pot cravings led me here. Loved their Irvine spot, so had to try this one. Modern and clean sleek vibes from the get-go, $34 covers a drink from the fountain machine. Thin-sliced premium meats like lamb, rib eye, and filet mignon were a hit in bone and spicy beef broth. While waiting broth to heat up checked out the veggie and hot bars - some hot dishes were cold and dried, but Japchae saved the day. Bone broth started bland, but hot oil fixed that. Solid experience, can't wait to explore more.
