    My fiancé and I come at least once a month. It's always so good, the service is amazing, they always get us sat quickly and bring the meat out very quick as well. Its been my biggest pregnancy craving

    meats and spicy beef broth
    Angeline N.

    I had All That Shabu a really long time ago in Irvine and remember loving it, but there's just so much competition in OC so I haven't been back in years! I tried it again with my friend the other day because we were in the area. I thought it was just okay and probably wouldn't come back here specifically because there's just a lot of better places, but this isn't bad at all for the price. The inside was huge and dimly lit, and they had a large self serve bar for hot sides, drinks, hot pot toppings like veggies and seafood, sauces, and dessert. It was a great vibe! There's a pretty large variety of broths to pick from which is nice. We both got the spicy beef, which tasted rich and tomatoey so it was different than a typical beef bone broth that I expected! It was nice because the acidity helped to balance with the richness of the meats. Of all the meats, our favorites were the brisket and the beef short plate. Personally I like to know which meats are which but sometimes when I asked, the servers couldn't really tell them apart so it kinda sucked because I wanted to know which ones I actually liked to order more of those. They were quick with taking our orders though and meats came out really quick. For hot sides, they had a large variety of things, such as fried rice, crab, crispy fried chicken, kimchi, and more. I liked that there was variety! I just think that overall, the experience didn't wow me as much as it did back then, but definitely cheaper than most places and so you get what you pay for!

    Personally i like number 2 for meat it is fatty. Alot of the other meats dont have enough fat in them. But everyone else likes to eat the other ones. For the broth i get bone. Some people get half spicy and half bone. Service was really good. When we were running low on meat they came by to ask if we wanted more. They have a sauce bar where yiu can make your own dipping sauce. Mines consist if garlic, green onion, ponzu and the wasabi green things. The middle sections have veggies, noodles, seafood, etc for your hot pot. They also have fried food at the far right. When the crab legs come out fresh, they are amazing but on the sweet side. Definitely recommend trying it. I forgot to get ice creammm.

    This is one of my go-to shabu-shabu spots. The spicy broth is my favorite and always hits the spot. The quality of the crab and shrimp is great, and I love the variety of side dishes, including japchae, fried chicken, and tteokbokki. Drinks and ice cream are included, which makes the experience even better. The parking lot is spacious, the service is friendly, and the meat is served quickly. My only complaint is that the prices have continued to go up over the years. Even so, I still enjoy coming back because of the quality, variety, and overall dining experience.

    I came here with a friend on a Saturday night, and there was about a 30-minute wait. We waited and were seated within that time frame. I honestly can't believe how busy all the AYCE places are on a Saturday night. After we sat down, a server came by to ask which broth we wanted. I asked what was popular, and he recommended the beef bone broth, so I went with that. My friend ordered the spicy beef broth after the server assured her it wasn't too spicy. I ended up finding my broth a bit bland and later added some of the spicy beef broth to give it more flavor. We tried different beef cuts as well as lamb. Honestly, there wasn't a huge difference among the beef cuts, except that the filet mignon was leaner and therefore chewier than the others. The lamb was okay. We ended up eating more from the bar, which included vegetables, seafood, and cooked dishes. I really liked the corn because it was sweet, and I also enjoyed the chrysanthemum greens (tung ho), which I ate a lot of. As for the cooked food, the deep-fried crab was just okay. The highlights were the japchae and the tteokbokki, while the bulgogi wasn't anything special. At the sauce bar, they had a lot of Japanese-style sauces like ponzu, sesame sauce, and wasabi ponzu. Soy sauce and chili oil weren't at the sauce bar but were located near the drink station. Speaking of drinks, the unsweetened green tea and black tea were also bland. They weren't sweet, but they also lacked a strong tea flavor. I'd say the drinks here aren't great unless you're going for soft drinks. They also had rice available in a large rice cooker if you wanted some. For dessert, they offer soft-serve vanilla and chocolate ice cream. My friend tried it and liked it. I had the sesame balls instead, which were okay. Overall, everything here was just alright. With a $34.99 weekend dinner price, I guess it's reasonable given inflation--if you can eat enough to justify it. I did feel like I had to push myself to get my money's worth, so I'd only come back when I'm really hungry and have the appetite for it.

    Great all around shabu place. Would recommend coming for the weekend/dinner only meat that includes filet mignon, ribeye, and beef chuck flap cuts. Spacious place and place does get busy. Waitlist in the store. Lots of sides and hot foods to choose from. Plenty of veggies and frozen items for the shabu. Their hot items are tasty and made fresh. You can see them frying the crabs at the counter and preparing their other hot foods. Broth is solid and tasty. Meats here a very thinly sliced and cooks instantly. My favorite was the ribeye. Due to its tenderness and fat ratio. Big sauce options and aromatics to choose from. This plaza gets busy and parking may be hard. Have had their other location in Irvine. Solid shabu place. Host service can be better. Saw customers standing in front a few times and didn't acknowledge new customers coming in. Was not a welcoming experience.

    This was definitely a great Hotpot place to go if you love a variety of vegetables if you love tons and tons of meat in your soup. It's a great time if you have plenty of time to do hot pot. I don't recommend this if you don't really eat a lot at hot pot places or if you really like just the one bowl of food this is not it for you but great for groups. Great for people who wanna share. I love the variety. I think my favorite part was the dessert. They offer a soft serve ice cream. Really love the options so many different types of vegetables and if you're looking to get your protein on, this is definitely a great place. I live a high protein diet life and this will get you all your macros. Will get you all your proteins and all your fibers so go now go often!! I love the lunch special pricing by the way. Super solid deal for all that you get. It's really a great time. Great bang for your buck.

    Genuinely love this spot for shabu shabu in Alhambra! Their service is quick and super friendly. There's a huge amount of options at the self serve area and the sauce bar as well! Their meat quality is always on point and the portions are good value. Love that I can finish my meal with ice cream at the end too! Super underrated spot!

    I've been to All About Shabu several times, and while the soup and meat quality are somewhat still solid, this visit felt a bit underwhelming. Service was just okay. It wasn't as quick or attentive as usual, even though the restaurant wasn't very busy. I've been here during peak times and still received better service, so that was disappointing. What stood out most was the decline in the quality of the warm food items. Still an okay spot for shabu.

    Soup, meat, my friend lol

    Good shit. The food is of course amazing, many broths, meat, and side dishes to choose from. Despite many people being here, the waiters tried their best to get to us quickly, offering us refills of broth and more meat. Obviously, ambiance was great. Smelled like meat. Top notch.

    Food was alright, I would stick with the short plate, and the sesame sauce was pretty good. Service was honestly pretty bad. The Korean guy with the glasses better be the owner's son, seeing how he ignores tables and presses us for trying to order rounds. Had to flag down someone every time we wanted to order more meat or needed more broth, probably could've gone 30 mins without anyone checking in. They handed us our check after 90 mins and we asked if we could order one last round since we absolutely should've been able to order more frequently throughout the meal. The Korean guy then comes by and questions us for having ordered more rounds. Not sure what this guy's problem is but hope he gets it together

    This my family favorite hotpot place. They always have a ton of fresh ingredients for your hotpot. The cooked stuff could be better though as its probably been out in the heating lamp all day and has dried out or gotten hard like their popcorn chicken. But the broth are good and the servers and very efficient and nice. The place is good and not overly expensive for what you get

    Randy G.

    AYCE Shabu what that gives Vegetarian/Vegans a $5 discount.... That is better than most who don't give discounts at all. The soup bases are good and the veggie offerings are pretty good as well. I've been here a few times now...and don't mind going back. There are so many choices...only thing is this place is such a huge location and I've never seen it have a wait or even filled up.... I definitely will be back though since it is pretty good overall.

    Ask the Community - All That Shabu

    Reservations available for 8+people?

    Do we make a reservation?

    No! But it tends to be an hour wait around 6pm onward ish

    Can you share a meal between 2 people here?

    Yes, as long as you pay for 2 people lol

    Does this place have waiting list?

    Yup, put your name down when you arrive. Need whole party there to seat

    Can you make reservations?

    Can one person eat here? Or do does it have to be 2 people or more people together to eat.

    Absolutely, solo eaters are totally welcome. The tables are set up as 4 sweaters but worth their own individual burner stations. I've been there several times and often see single diners especially around lunchtime.

    Is the vegetarian broth vegan?

    Hi do you have outdoor dining as of December 2022?

    No outdoor dining per se. They do have some bench seating but it's for staff last time I was there.

    What's the price per person on the weekend? (adult and kid 7yrs). What is best time for weekend dinner?

    $31/adult & $16/kid (5-8y/o) or $19/kid (9-10). Best time for dinner is probably before 6/6:30pm, gets crowded around normal dinner rush. Reservations fill up fast too, so might just have to walk-in & wait.

    Do you allow solo diner?

    Yes, they do. I've dined here alone several times and they are very welcoming and accommodating of their solo diners. :)

    Is there a non ayce option here?

    No, the only options are Lunch AYCE or Dinner/Holiday AYCE

    Do you take reservation?

    Yes, but only for groups of 6 or more is available. Reservations was almost always available during the daytime on weekdays. It was very good for birthday parties with affordable price and great quality! :)

    Hello, are you open on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day?

    That are open.

    Is this location still open? Yelp has it as closed and their number does not seem to be working.

    yes, just went there yesterday 12/1/21 for lunch..

    Today (12/2/2021) I was looking at Yelp and saw that All That Shabu has closed? Is this accurate? I thought this restaurant was popular and profitable. Why did it close?

    It is no accurate. I think Yelper report it closed but Yelp hasn't has chance to verify it. It is Still open as of Yesterday 12/2/2021 8:30PM. I went by to check.

    Is the side dish selection the same for lunch and dinner/weekends?

    Will it be weekday price for lunch this friday?

    It was $24.99 for lunch on Friday 4/29/22

    What time is last seating?

    9:30pm

    Do you take reservations for a big group?

    Yes they do.

    Is credit card accepted?

I read reviews which expressed frustration over the service, and I felt like that helped manage my expectations. I know it's a very tough time for restaurants, and I hope they are able to smooth things over soon. We were greeted when entered and we waited a bit to get seated. We were seated at a very large table, which felt funny since it was just three of us. It took some time to get menus. I walked up to grab them, but staff said they would bring it over. Once we ordered, food was quick to come out. Refill requests initially were promptly responded to, but as the first round of customers ended their meals, the service was backed up. It took some time to get refills and the check. Luckily we weren't in a hurry. The menu isn't entirely clear, so we had a couple ordering hiccups. Generally, easy problems to resolve. My family and I enjoyed the food. The vegetables, meat, and sauces tasted good. I really liked their goma dare (sesame sauce), which is my favorite part of shabu shabu. The brown rice portion was substantial, but the rice was reheated and dry. The ramen portion, while tasty was small, like ~1/3 of the rice portion. I personally, like to eat the carb throughout the meal, which means ordering more. The space is large with a lot of hard surfaces. I wouldn't say it is a quiet space--it is good for groups. We also sat closer to the door, so my elder family members were a bit cold while we waited. However, once the burners were going, it didn't feel as cold. The three of us ate for ~90 without tip, which can make sense for folks who don't want to pay $55pp for AYCE dinner. However, I think AYCE lunches at other restaurants during the week are a better value and can have smoother service. Just like many things in this world, my experience isn't black and white. There were things I liked and things that could be improved. I think it's worth a shot for others to try, as long as they can be open minded about the experience and patient.

Other places have passed them by in some respects First there is no sauce bar here. Just four small containers of sauces you can use. Ironically none of those sauces are soy sauce. A darker possible peanut sauce, a sesame sauce, a pinkish possibly fermented tofu sauce and the standard chili oil. I wanted more as far as the sauce goes and I thought a sauce bar was pretty standard these days Second there is no AYCE bar with small snacks. Kind of interesting When ordering the meat, I guess they wanted to save a plate so the sliced meats just came in plastic containers. That loses some points with me on presentation Other than that everything is fine. They charge a little less for the broth than a lot of places do, so that's nice Got vegetables, mushrooms, tofu, noodles and a couple of meats. Overall it's a fine experience, mostly Ok to Good. But the lack of some things makes it more second tier for me and it would not be a go to hot pot place for me

I found this place to be a bit pricey, particularly because almost all the veggies/noodles/non-meats were priced at $4.95. In my opinion, the end pricing should better reflect the ingredient pricing. Service was very bad. We were seated, ordered, and brought the food. We never were spoken to again and had to call over two different staff members to get the bill, then pay for it. They do have large tables for groups. Overall, this is the best hot pot restaurant I have tried so far, but I didn't love it.

    I passed this place a few times and didn't realize it was the same restaurant as the one in Rowland…read moreheights. We came for Sunday dinner with a large group of family, we ended up splitting into two tables (which also means splitting the checks into two). There wasn't a crowd or wait at 5:30pm, but courses to 6:30pm is when the crowd started coming in. We ordered using the paper menu and got the split hotpot with spicy broth (mild) and nonspicy broth. My family ordered everything and I'm good with anything they ordered so I just went to the sauce station to get snacks and sauce ready, I ate a lot of bean noodles, they weren't overly spicy but a nice subtle numbing spice and saltiness, very delicious and cooling sensation. We ordered lamb, beef, vegetables, mushroom, crab sticks, and tofu for the hotpot. The spicy broth was actually pretty spicy for me so I couldn't eat from there butt family said it was good. Since the broths are boiling right next to each other, it's just a matter of time before the nonspicy gets a bit of the spicy oil mixed in. The staff were very accommodating, they got it done right away and even refilled or drinks almost every time they passed by. My son ate some beef slices with sesame paste sauce I made, I'm glad he had some as he usually eats the sesame balls, snacks, and chips. Overall, this location seems pretty much the same as the other one in Rowland heights, I didn't feel like it was different or which was better. Parking may be a factor but we came early and there was plenty of parking with some spots still open when we left at 7pm.

I've been here twice now, and it's quickly become one of my favorite Sichuan-style hot pot spots. The restaurant has a modern Chinese aesthetic that feels a bit more upscale than Hai Di Lao, making it a great place for a nice dinner with friends or family. One of my favorite parts is the sauce bar, which has plenty of options to customize your perfect dipping sauce. We always order the half-and-half soup base with the spicy beef broth and the pork bone broth--the perfect combination of bold heat and rich, comforting flavor. Our go-to order includes plenty of greens, shiitake mushrooms, noodles, shrimp balls, and generous plates of sliced Wagyu and ribeye. Everything has been fresh and delicious each time we've visited. The snack and dessert station is another highlight. They offer a surprisingly large variety of chips, sesame balls, candies, desserts, and other little bites. Honestly, I'm always too full from the hot pot itself to sample everything, but I love having the option! They also serve refreshing iced fruit teas and a good selection of beers to pair with your meal. The only downside is the service. It can be a bit slow, likely because there only seems to be one server covering the dining room. They're friendly, but the restaurant could definitely benefit from more staff. It's also on the pricier side compared to some other hot pot restaurants in the area, but between the quality of the food, the extensive snack and dessert station, and the beautiful ambiance, I think it's worth the splurge. I'll definitely be coming back.
