    $28 for regular, $34 for premium, really good price. Food materials are fine for this price. But this time the service was far worse than before. All waiters and waitresses are weirdly turning down the heating power as soon as possible, then ignoring re-ordering or adding soup. In this plaza, I still recommend this all-you-can-eat.

    This is definitely a good place for AYCE Japanese shabu shabu. I would give it 80-85 out of 100. However, here are three things I need to say. Hopefully, the owner of the restaurant will see and can make improvements. 1. There were sand in clams! Lots of sand so that we didn’t order any clams after the first round. 2. Not sure if the staff misunderstood or the meat was mislabeled in the kitchen? They told us that meat in photo #1 was “premium beef” and in photo #2 was “Wagyu”. That doesn’t make sense at all! Are you serious?? 3. The calamari tasted okay but it had a thin but extremely strong film on the surface… see the 3rd picture? That was funny…

    I've been going to this place since I was a child and have ordered the same things for the past 18 years, I think 18 years, I was a kid so I don't know the exact year I started. The original owners were awesome, a married couple who served us well and made us feel like family. I was sad to hear that they were selling the company. The new owners took over about a decade ago, I think, but luckily they kept the same ponzu recipe. It's my absolute favorite and as I said before it's the same order every time I go: AYCE premium beef because it's softer and easier to chew compared to the wagyu. Wagyu taste better but I eat about 2lbs of meat and premium beef is just easier to eat. When you order AYCE your options are 4 orders of meat or veggies. One order is roughly 4 ounces of meat, I order 4 plates for 1lb of meat. Then I order another one when they bring it out. Usually I stop at 2lbs because it is a good level of fullness. However I might order another 2 plates if I feel brave. You get 3 options for dipping sauce but I only get the most important one: ponzu. All you can eat: 31$ for regular 38$ for premium items. I get premium. I usually finish everything in an hour or an hour and a half if I'm taking with friends which is usually the time limit anyways. 1.5 hours. All in all this long story can be summarized into one sentence: as long as they keep that ponzu recipe then ill keep coming back. If you're a meat head like me you'll come back too. Also, it gets busy around 7pm to closing so if you have a large group I suggest calling first so they can make room for you.

    DONT COME TO THIS RESTAURANT meat here taste not fresh. The green tea they offer us just water with macha powder on the top. Everything is bad. I’ll never come here again and if I can I’ll give them 0 star.

    This was my family’s first time here. We got there early at 5 pm and was seated and waited on immediately. The veggies are fresh and clean. The thinly sliced meats were fresh and there was more than enough to make you happy. Each of family had there favorite soup broths but by far, the Miso soup both was the most flavorful. I added a spoonful of garlic and it was the perfect broth everyone agreed. Nothing else was necessary. Our server, Jasmine was attentive and friendly to our party of seven. We will all be back whether together or separately! Perfect for a date night or with friends too! We all highly reccomend this restaurant. $21-$31 per person depending on protein selection.

    I still love this place. I have been coming here for around a year. Back in February I introduced my sister and niece to this place and they love it too. Now it is July 2018 and we brought my nephew who is a very choosy eater. It took a while but once he decided to try he loved it as well. The thing I love most is that not only is the food great but so is the service.

    Great Plates customer. Unfortunately this restaurant didn't follow the rules to provide restaurant quality meals to seniors during the pandemic. They got paid $66 for 3 meals per day per person on their provider list. The food delivered wasn't their restaurant food. They subbed it out to a 3rd party. I requested less meals to 2 per day. They said that wasn't possible. Other counties provided that option and adjusted their fee to $44/day. I requested better food. Items from their menu and they laughed about it. I complained to the person in charge. Nothing changed. The food is nothing I would be willing to pay $22 a plate to eat or order off a menu. They have ribs on the menu I would love to try or noodles or many other things, but unfortunately they did not serve their restaurant food. If what I received is what this restaurant serves I would never be a customer after the program ends on June 30th. It's too bad, if it was good, I would have been a customer bringing lots of friends to eat there after the program ended, but I cannot recommend this place or its food based on the garbage they fed to me. Lots of it ended up in the trash can because I cannot eat three meals daily or I just couldn't stomach it. Typical breakfast: Fake bacon, greasy omelets, untoasted English muffin sandwiches, high gluten oatmeal with two small bites of cantaloupe. Lunches and dinners are unidentifiable mixtures of rice or quinoa with strange dry chicken or chewy meat. My dogs eat the meat. I get some maybe corn or black beans, or potatoes or chicken smothered in tumeric sauce. There is one item I think is decent but they only give a small bowl of that...it looks like whipped sweet potatoes. That's all in the meal but it's never enough given. It tastes good and I can eat it without gagging. This plate is one of the few that's filled to the top of the bowl. White rice on the bottom, canned corn and black beans over it with a few pieces of chicken. This one is edible but nothing I would be hunting for off their menu. I finally got my drinks sorted out. I ended up donating cases of orange juice to food banks. It was like pulling teeth to get the ice tea promised or other low calorie drink and decent sized water instead. That part got better yay! This is a very honest review about what this restaurant did with FEMA's money. I'm sure I'm speaking out for older seniors who cannot speak for themselves. This program was a success in other counties throughout Southern CA. I checked the reviews and saw the meals those people received and frankly I was so jealous they got real restaurant style meals directly from their provider, not some other people who can't even cook.

    I am a delivery man, when I arrived at the restaurant, the staff needed to take a picture of the menu and get it to the kitchen, which needed to wait for one hour, isn't the time of the Courier money? If there's no way to make takeout, why open the takeout?

    I've been to many Shabu Shabu places and this one is very good, but not quite amazing. PROS: +All you can eat for a reasonable price +The meats were very tender and flavorful +The miso broth was rich and delicious +Service was good; additional meats and soda refills were quick CONS: -Bar setup was rather cramped and made it awkward to work with the soup -Limited appetizer menu, would love to have had gyoza at least -Compared to Shabu Shabu places that have a self serve buffet of veggies, spices, sauces, fried foods, and add on meats, this felt limited.

    My go-to shabu place with my friend. Food is always good and filling. Sometimes service is slow. Depends on the time of day. And sometimes the wait is long. Again depends on the time of day.

    My first time here so I didn't know what to expect. Staff was very helpful, portions are good, meat cuts were fresh and delicious.

  • 5/5 Raelyn A. 1 year ago on Google
    This was a nice personal hot pot place. The quality of meat was delicious and the broth superb. Excellent choice of ingredients. Definitely would like to come back to try the different broth options.

    December 2022 - Party of 4, Saturday around 6pm. Estimated 1 hour wait. Food/Pricing - $26 for 8 oz lamb + konbu (basically seaweed) broth + brown rice. Meat quality was okay and all the veggies and noodles were still partly frozen which made them difficult to cook. Service/Ambiance - The ventilation system in the restaurant either does not work well or was not on at all. It was stuffy and humid in there, reminded me of clubbing in winter lol. The staff's solution was to leave the front door open 'for only a few minutes' they told us but it turned into 30+ minutes. As a result, our legs were freezing but our faces were warm due to our soups and lack of ventilation. It wasn't a pleasant eating experience, especially for the price. They also charge extra for broth that is more tasty (like the beef broth, etc.) and brown rice. Parking - The parking lot was pretty packed but we didn't have an issue with finding a spot.

    The BF took me here for my birthday dinner. It was our first time here and it was fun. I got a zesty broth while my bf got a spicy broth(I thing 5 options of broths). We got a dinner for 2 which was perfect for us, however they do have the option to have all you can eat. You also get rice with your individual pot with 3 options of sauces too. There is so much to pick from and Soo good. Great place to go. 😊

    Pretty solid Shabu shop with options for AYCE or a la carte. We tend to go with a large combo and share for an extra $12. Tried the Tom yum myself and GF went with the usual miso. Meats were premium angus, short rib and prime rib eye. Each added $1-3 per to the price of the combo and the broths were an extra $2 each. All in all a great meal for a cool night. Love the fact they have condiments and Chile within reach and service was very good on this night.

    Went here on my lunch with girls from lunch, first time coming and the girl explained everything and it was so good. It’s a lot of food though.
