It is what it is — pots full of spicy broth and stuff you want them to put there. Japanese style ! Try their Lamb ($11.75), it's delicious Read more
Dinner is about $$-$$$ for a hot pot experience. Portion was on the small side. I would definitely get the vegetable upgrade next time: the menu picture isn't as impressive as the real plate.
Dishonest "Gratuity Guidelines": based on Post-Tax amount. Here $6.32 is 20% of $31.60 (post-tax amount), but it should be 20% of $28.99 (pre-tax amount).
Best to come as a pair at the bar . Come hungry for AYCE !
Lamb and Kobe are good. Don't get the Angus. Seafood and miso broth good
Come in small groups of 2 and 3, they only have 3 tables so its hard to seat everyone around it.
The vegetarian Shabu Shabu is a plateful of delicious items!
Try the Ramune Drink. A simple soda in a quircky bottle.
Try the Shabu Shabu with Seaweed Broth - #daaaaayum
I prefer this place to Little Sheep if with a group of < 4.
The Kobe Beef here is so fresh! We love the spicy broth too! www.grubcrawl.com
It requires some work but the meat is delish
Service is way too rushed. Started taking away things and sending you the check halfway through your meal. Not appreciated.
Try the Lamb - Delicious special this month!
Worth the waiting time! Kobe style beef is the best!
Sit at a table and get the half and half broth. It's more fun.
Best shabu shabu in the area.
Look at that sizzling pot
Love their shabu shabu ! Always feels so healthy and fresh!
Order the lean beef and spicy water. Amazing!
Veggie shabu

Ask for the shrimp soup. It's not on the menu except as part of the Bento box special on the board. - Ben Lee
Best sushi on peninsula. Special preparation nigiri are always a hit. - David Kirsch
Call ahead. They didn't have the flavor of the month or the promotion listed on the website. - Joseph Balancio
The tapioca milk tea is the best. Egg puffs are much better than Eggettes, too! - jennifer s.
