my family drives over an hour to go here! the wait is always long and parking is honestly bad, but it's such an amazing meal to have which makes it worth it. the restaurant is large and they accommodate for big parties. the service is impressive considering how busy they are. there is a bar of cooked food and korean sides and a loooong buffet style bar of things to put on your soup from veggies to fishballs to eggs to noodles! there is also a section with all the sauce options. make sure to mix everything to make a yummy sauce to dip your meat and veggies in! you get to choose your broth, and i like the easy access to adjust the heat temp as im eating. the meat slices are extremely thin, so be prepared to get your rounds in! to end your meal, they have soft serve to enjoy. even though its all you can eat, i notice i never feel disgustingly full afterwards. looking forward to my next visit! read more

3.8 stars As far as AYCE shabu is concerned, I think this restaurant does a decent job. I can't say that it's the best, but it fulfills hotpot cravings. Additionally, they have filet mignon, ribeye, and lamb (for dinner & weekend). For the base, I chose spicy beef broth, which I thought was ok. It wasn't spicy enough for me, but adding chili oil helps. The unlimited veggies and seafood were quite nice. Notably, the shrimp was a decent size and not the scrawny kind. Fishballs were a bit limited to 2 types, I think. Noodle selection was ok. Veggies are a large selection of napa cabbage, bok choy, kale, spinach, bean sprouts, corn, broccoli, mushrooms, and etc. The kimchi and cucumber kimchi are decent as well. The sauces are create your own and, unless you already have a go-to recipe in your head, it can be quite difficult to know which sauces to mix. So I kinda hope they will eventually stick some recipe posters/stickers/suggestions near the sauce station. The only things I wish they did a better job with was their japchae, other cooked dishes, and amount of meat on the dish. Parts of the glass noodles are hard and clumped together or it's been sitting there too long. The fried rice and gochuchang fried chicken (?) looked dry and could use some refilling. The meat is sliced thinly and quite enjoyable to eat, but when each plate is 6 small slices or between 7-8 small slices, it's hard to like the restaurant more. Overall, I enjoyed my experience here. Because it was so busy, my large group got split up to 2 tables on opposite sides of the aisle after waiting a lot longer with the hope of sticking together. So, I almost think smaller groups work best here. Price is about $32 per person for dinner. read more

++Atmosphere I dined here on a weekday night and there was still quite a long wait. We waited for 40 mins but I don't dock points for waiting. The inside is very large and the seats are comfy. ++FOOD You are allowed to get 3 selections of meat at a time. Usually this is no big deal, however the meats they serve you come in INCREDIBLY thin slices. I'm talking paper thin. This made it so that we had to constantly order more plates of meat which takes a while to get because the servers are busy and they take a while to cut the meats. Keep in mind we can only have 3 plates at a time and we had a table of 4. It was also very difficult to taste the differences between the meats since they were so thin, so all the meats tasted the same. ++Variety I have to give props to this place for having the widest selection of sides/additions for hot pot. The bar for sides such as veggies, eggs, seafood, meats, sauces etc. was huge. There is something for everyone. There is even an ice cream machine, vanilla or chocolate, for dessert. ++Conclusion A decent place to dine. The inside is huge, there's a lot of sides to choose from but the paper thin meat slices just don't do it for me. read more

The food is excellent, fresh vegetables, fresh meat, tasty broth, delicious side dishes, and amazing matcha green tea! The service was great when we first started visiting, but has gone done hill in the last few weeks. The ladies are quite strict about the 90 minutes and they tell us every time. We're pretty careful to adhere to the 90 minutes, but the last time we were there, no one came to take our order for the last 20 minutes. I was trying to go find a server to get a meat order in, but only one lady was serving other tables. Finally, we managed to wave her over and she took our order, but also told us our 90 minutes were up. It's stressful now, because I'm worried about the ladies kicking us out. Otherwise, it's pretty good. read more

On a Friday afternoon in late December, I came here for lunch with my brother and hubby. We got seated right away closer to soda machine. At first we got our 3 meats right away. There was Korean fried chicken pieces, japchae, fried rice, bulgogi, tteeobooki, shrimp, clams, etc. I wish the spicy broth was spicy and it wasn't just bland. The place got really busy by 12noon so it was hard to get refills on meats. I had to flag someone for awhile. 3 stars-Everything was fine just service is slower at lunch than dinner. I wish there are more variety to broth choices. read more

A lot of great options at the self serve bar. Everyone gets their own mini hot pot so if you are wary of germs, this place is the right one for you. Even though you can only order 3 plates of meat at a time, they come by often to ask if you want to order more so you definitely get your fill. All in all a great place to eat with friends and family. read more

Finally got to try All That Shabu! The wait wasn't as bad as I thought it would be but do prepare to wait if you're planning to come here for dinner, especially when it's cold outside. That's the best time to have Shabu Shabu if you ask me. We had a party of 4 and arrived around 6:15 pm on a weekday, and the wait was about 20 minutes max. We got seated and got our broth and meat orders right away. Each table can only order 3 meats max and you can grab as much veggies, seafood, meatballs, noodles and rice at the buffet section as you want. I'm a noodle person so I was happy they have all types of noodles such as konjac , fresh noodles (regular or spinach) instant noodles (portion in half ) the best. Not to mention, but they all have cooked sides such as fried rice, japchae and fried chicken bites. Service: The workers were great. They come by often to clear the table with the empty plates and it was easy to flag them down to refill the broth. Would I come back? Yes! read more

Stick to kbbq. This place is dystopian af. The metal dishware adds to the feel of a post apocalyptic eatery. Where staff are miserable, rations are 3 meat plates to a table, and you have a limited time to eat. AYCE is merely a marketing term to get you through the door. In reality, you're getting paper thin, see through cuts of meat delivered with each "order". For a table of 4, your limit is 3 plates per round. Good luck getting full on the meat. The short staff will ensure you only get about 4/5 rounds in the allotted 90 mins before you finally cave in and go for carbs such as Korean potato salad, japchae, and fried rice. Everything is mid or below par here. The soup bases are salty and rich in msg. Lack of any true flavor, the staff comes around with carts with jugs of this mass produced hogwash to fill your pot. The ambiance is reminiscent of a scene from the Hunger Games. Line up to get your portions of vegetables that although fresh, really try to deter you from the fact that your encounter with meat at this establishment will be fleeting. Go ahead and skip this place.. like fast read more

We drive 1.5 to get here. The family loves it. Tons of options. Wish we had one in Ventura county

Overall, it was a delightful experience. The self-serve sides, drinks, and ice cream add a fun and customizable touch to the meal. The ambiance was pleasant, and the staff was friendly.The highlight for me was definitely the wide variety of options available, allowing me to customize my meal to my liking. However, the filet mignon was a bit of a letdown. Despite its promising name, the cut was disappointingly thin, making it grainy and less enjoyable to eat.Nevertheless, I would still recommend All That Shabu for its tasty food and enjoyable dining experience. Just be cautious when ordering the filet mignon. read more

It's winter and time for warm comforting soups and hot pot and shabu are my go tos. This spot is located in a shopping center near Sprouts and right across from Big Catch so parking is pretty convenient in the lot. My bf and I go typically go late like around 8:30 or 9pm so we've never really had much of a wait and get seated pretty quickly. There's a lot of tables and booths available. Service has usually been pretty decent, waiters ask what broth you want and you order 3 plates of meat at a time. And they're usually pretty attentive so I've never had to flag them down too much to order more meat. I really like the selection at the salad bar: great mix of veggies, tofus, and lots of seafood. There's also a good amount appetizers like fried chicken, bulgogi, japchae, cucumber salad and Korean potato salad. The AYCE price includes beverage too so you help yourself to a selection of soft drinks or tea. Unfortunately the few times we've gone the soft serve machine only had vanilla even when you tried the swirl or chocolate option :( As for the broth I usually get a mix of their spicy beef and miso which has the perfect amount of spice and umami. The meats are pretty good quality as well. We usually sample all the meats except for chicken. Our faves are prob the brisket, ribeye and pork belly. Prices have gone up incrementally since we started coming here but in line with most AYCE shabu spots. Overall I would recommend coming especially if you're in the area. read more

One of my new favorite places to go for AYCE hot pot! During dinner hours, the line gets really long. I waited for almost an hour, but the food was all worth it. Each individual gets their own pot of broth. I got the beef bone broth and loved it. For meat selections, a table can order up to 3 per round. I tried all of the meats except pork and chicken. My top choices are the signature beef ribeye and beef short plate. The servers were very attentive and would immediately ask if we wanted another round of meat. There is a lot of variety at their salad bar. I tried a few of their hot foods, but they were not any good. Just stick with hot pot ingredients, like seafood, veggies, and noodles. There is also a nice selection of sauces to choose from with toppings like green onions, cilantro, garlic, radish, and lemon. In addition, they offer self-serve drinks, including lemon water, sodas, green tea, and black tea. I like their black tea the most. I was too full to try the soft serve ice cream myself, but it looked popular with other customers. Considering it is AYCE, $31.99 per person is not bad at all. read more

I have been here a few times. I really like the value for the price. It's AYCE w pretty good meat choices, drinks included, they have appetizers, and they have ice cream. The service is usually quick but during lunch it is a bit slower. I like that they have lunch and dinner prices. The meats are sliced super thin tho but other than that it is pretty great Shabu place. read more

All That Shabu - Lunch hot pot - Buffets Near Me - Alhambra, California

All That Shabu - to be read with an exclamation because it's All You Can Eat! I had seen this place for years but never ventured inside until recently. The wait time here is quite lengthy, and the wait time estimates were quite inaccurate; we were quoted for 45 minutes, and it ended up being almost 90 minutes. Thankfully, our hangriness dissipated once we were seated. There are a variety of broths, meats and veggies here; keep in mind that you're only allowed three dishes of meats for each round. The only difficult that I had here was that my personal stove didn't run as hot, and getting my broth to boil was not a fun experience. I enjoyed that they had many dipping sauce options and a lot of smaller portions. I'm no longer the "eat to get my money's worth" and I enjoyed that they had fried chicken amongst other small portions of vegetables and side dishes that I could enjoy. The meat were also all top quality, and I will definitely be returning again... except next time I'll come with a hungrier stomach! read more

My milestone birthday was about 3 weeks ago, but celebration hasn't stopped. Thank you to my dear friends for their good wishes and wanting to celebrate with me. They all know I'm a Yelpie so what better way to celebrate with me than at a new tasty place to eat LOL. Hey, I welcome it anytime. Well, I originally chose Boiling Point, but my friend said it's a milestone b-day so why not someplace fancier. She wanted me to choose the place. I wanted hotpot so I started Yelping for what's out there in the San Gabriel Valley. All That Shabu came through in my search. So glad it did! Otherwise, we may have went to Shabuya instead LOL. When I first drove to the cross street of Garfield Ave and Main Street, I saw All That Shabu at the corner. My first thought was where do I park??? Don't worry. There is lots of parking at the Alhambra Place where All That Shabu is located. My friend arrived first and was seated before I got here. She had already retrieved some of the frozen ingredients for her hotpot. Each person gets their own individual hotpot which I prefer. I grabbed 3 plates of goodness for my hotpot. I never went back for seconds because I grabbed lots from the get go LOL. I loved my delicious hotpot... it had so much seafood flavors! Yummy!!! When it came to the broth, you may choose one and/or more in other words you may mix them. I got original house + spicy beef mix... just savory and tasty!! As for the meats, only 3 kinds of meats max per round per table at one time. We got chicken breast, pork belly, and pork collar butt. Yeah, we're not beef eaters so no beef got on our table... it's all good. Cook the pork well, but don't leave the chicken in too long otherwise it becomes tough and dry. Please note the meats are sliced extremely thin LOL. You may have to go through several rounds of meats. We only got one round of meats because we wanted more seafoods. They have many seafoods (soft shell crabs, head shrimps, squids, mussels, various beef and seafood balls, scallops, fish, and more), tofu, veggies (cabbage, bok choy, tong ho, spinach, bean sprouts, pumpkin, etc), mushrooms, and more selections. Two sides have the same stuff so two lines can be formed one from each side. They also have other appetizers and snacks. Sauces and condiments, rice, and drink stations are available. Huge seating area. Staff was nice and attentive whenever we needed something. You have 90 mins to wrap it up on your All You Can Eat shabu shabu! They probably won't kick you out if you're finishing up your hotpot, but you probably shouldn't get anymore hotpot stuff... maybe the occasional ice cream and drink is okay. Btw, weekend price is $33.99 per adult. It's cheaper if you're under a certain age. Weekday prices are less by $7.00ish. It's almost the price of two Boiling Point hotpots, but you can have as many as you like here as long as you can fit the goodness in your tummy in 90 mins LOL. It's a really nice setup IMHO. Great for get togethers and family gatherings! I'll definitely be back with my Mom, brothers and their families, and my other friends. I'm ready for my next All That Shabu!!! read more

The foods actually decent but the servers are rude, they close early and they never answer their phone. Can't wait for my shabu place to open back up read more

Awesome food! You get the veggies, sauces, and hot foods yourself while the servers bring the meats to you. I think the rib eye was the best. The other cuts like the beef chuck was a bit dry. Didn't try the chicken or pork. I got half beef bone and half spicy beef and it was still a little spicy just FYI. Sauces were the best part!!! They have the best sauces of all the AYCE shabu places I've been to. Favorite was their wasabi ponzu, sesame, and peanut sauce. read more

I typically don't like eating shabu as I've gotten sick from eating at BP before and ever since then I'm not necessarily a fan of it, but this place may convert me again. The lines for All That Shabu can be daunting (we still had to wait 30 minutes at opening on a Saturday) so try to come early or be prepared to wait. Luckily there's a few shops or other restaurants in the plaza to kill time or go to if you can't wait. The price for AYCE shabu isn't bad and the quality of meat/condiments is pretty good. read more

The Shabu shabu Place is located in a shopping plaza, which has plenty enough parking, but it does get a dinner rush so I would say come right before that. I love that they have free ice cream at the end. I recommend getting the sesame bars and pairing them together. Also, you can do a Dr. pepper float with the ice cream that's provided the service is really self-serve. The servers only bring you out the meat that you order it is all you can eat place, so come hungry! The ambience is very clean and organize. I recommend this place. read more

All That Shabu - Tabletop individual hog plates and pots. Oden ingredients! - Buffets Near Me - Alhambra, California

Love this place. The variety on the bar is good, especially having hot items as well. Many of these AYCE shabu places don't have that. We like the serve yourself aspect of everything here, especially drinks. Quality and variety of the meats is also great, again especially in comparison to other all you can eat places. Where they lose ground is in only being able to order 3 meats at a time regardless of your party size, if you ask a waiter for something (like a napkin) they point to the bar, and finally in the flavor of their broths. This last point on the broth, I don't give them too much guff about this, they have great sauces you can add to your broth base. Overall we really really like this place and will keep coming back. Give them a try! read more

So good. Lots of options. The only issue I had was the meats were super thin (thinner than I've seen at other Shabu Shabu places).

A great AYCE shabu shabu. I have been here twice now and only been here for lunch time, since there is no wait. Every time I come here for dinner, it is too long of a wait. The both time I was here I got the miso and hubby got the spicy beef. Both broths are really good base soups. We are allowed to get 3 types of meat each round and I love all their beef selection. There are some that are better than others especially the fatty ones. They have great selection on the veggies and also the side dishes, that you can grab yourself. Also there are sauce bar and the sesame sauce is the best. And at the end there is an ice cream area for dessert. Overall a great AYCE shabu restaurant for the price. read more

Two months later I return to the scene of her crime. Prior to my last experience, I enjoyed coming here so no need for one evening to mar my other times coming here. I'm not sure if it was the same manager (?) that helped us but she was nice and accommodating so I'll update the review. There are about six different broths but I always go with the vegetarian and I find the non meat options plentiful from mushrooms, seafood (shrimp, mussels, squid and fish balls) and greens (napa cabbage, bok chow, kale (on one side of the bar), chrysanthemum - they're the slightly bitter leaves on the opposite side of the bar. The pre cooked warm food are ok (dried fried chicken, sweet beef, spicy fried chicken, noodles and sesame ball - lowkey delicious if they're fresh) although if you're super starved, they're good enough. Also, don't forget the soft serve for dessert! read more

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.

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. read more

Buzzwords: Expansive Self-Service Bar Items, Mouthwatering Broths Came here to celebrate new milestones with a friend of mine on a weekday ~7pm and were promptly seated within 20 minutes of putting our name down. We had both opted for the $33/person dinner menu, and quite honestly were not disappointed. The plates of meat came out swiftly, and the seafood offerings at the self-service bar afforded one to surf & turf as one's heart desired opposed to having to choose one or the other at many other AYCE spots. The main floor of the restaurant (save for the restroom, yuck, -1 star for that atrocity) was as pleasantly clean as it was well stocked. Overall, if you're really hungry but in the mood for something beyond the typical hot pot fixings (I.e., veggies, meat), the sides offered at the self-service bar will make for the ultimate and complete meal. I really enjoyed the japchae and pickled cucumbers which really evened out the cravings I had. read more

Shoutout to our waiter! He really helped me understand how to prepare my broth and meat :) if it weren't for him explaining how to do it, I wouldn't have enjoyed my meal. I got bone broth, but added miso. Next time I'll get just miso. He suggested seasoning the meat too, it did not occur to me as someone who doesn't know much about this kind of food. And yeah that really made a difference! read more

Love everything about this place. Their buffet menu includes already cooked food such as fried rice, chicken wings, etc. Lots of choices from seafood (i call lobster balls and all of those seafood too), veggies, etc. I have to keep reminding myself not to fill myself up with those because meat orders come bvery fast. All ingredients are fresh and they have a friendly & fast service. The place is clean! I've never seen this place not busy but regardless, the place it spotless. You have your occasional spill and all but they clean it right away. Highly recommend it to everyone. read more

Didn't want to cook or go to any parties for New Years Eve for the last day of 2023 so we went to All that Shabu in Alhambra.

Some of the worst service ever on a Monday night. You're only allowed to order 3 plates per round and for a party of 4 it's barely any food, but that's not an issue if the servers were around and would actually let us order more. The Korean guy with glasses was rude af and literally acted like the meat was coming out of his paycheck when we asked him if we could order more. 3/4 of our group were still hungry after our 90 minutes were up. First time leaving an AYCE place still hungry lol... read more

This place is absolutely atrocious and I'm convinced all the 5 star reviews are either paid for or from bots. I ate here thinking it was gonna be amazing due to all the 5 star reviews but it ended up being even worse than Jazz cat (no offense)... The service was horrible and it was so difficult to get helped, the meats were all so thin and no matter how l cooked them they were really chewy and rubbery, and all the broths were pretty bland. Everything from the sidebar had a weird, old freezer aftertaste and all the side dishes were stale and tasted like they were left out since yesterday. Even the sauces were all bland and watery. They only redeeming factor of this place is that it's cheap. It's WAY more worth the time to go to either Happy Lamb, Broth Shabu Shabu, or Momo Paradise. read more

Ok this is my first time reviewing anything ever in life. But I but because of the amazing undeniable super I don't know how to explain it, but anyways the Dr Pepper at this establishment is bar-none the best beverage drink refreshing delicious. I don't I don't have any words to explain other than it's amazing. I don't know what it is. I don't know why every time I come back. It is so delicious. I am honestly thinking because of the metal cups that they have at the establishment, but I have never in my life tasted a soda so good so utterly amazing then I have here and that's not to say that the overall experience of the meat, eggs, mushrooms, bok choy complements it but the Dr Pepper at this place I have never in my life, tasted something so delicious and to top it off I would only recommend at the end of your meal to top off your Dr Pepper in this delicious metal cup with a handle of vanilla, but only at the end of your meal I have been wanting to leave this review for a long time and I will die by the Dr Pepper at all that shabu not to mention the service is good and I always look forward to the next time I come to this establishment. read more

We came here for the first time on a Sunday around 2PM. This place is very serious about timing your meal the time when you are sat. The clock starts ticking! Lol For lunch, it's $30 per person on weekends. It's similar to Shabuya. They offered different kinds of meat you can order from the server and the rest is self served. They need to do a better job at refilling their self served items. Also, we were very disappointed that their ice cream machine was broken! Service wise, there were a lot of staffs working, but it was still hard to get someone's attention or wave someone down to order or to add more soup base. Overall, I rather go to Shabuya. At least you won't feel so rushed eating there! read more

All That Shabu - Ordered the spicy beef and beef bone soup base. They said those are the most popular soup bases. - Buffets Near Me - Alhambra, California

All You Can Eat in Alhambra, Los Angeles, California... I saw my friend, Ed, check in at All That Shabu. I wondered what that restaurant was about and asked him if we should get our friends together for Father's Day dinner. He highly recommend this establishment for our gathering! Reservations were made for 5pm for ten people. We were split up into three tables. Each of us had our own burner and pot of broth. I chose the House Broth and later tried the Beef Bone Broth. Aaron said his Miso Broth was delicious... and Jun had no complaints about his Spicy Broth. Our servers were efficient and friendly. They brought us our meats. We chose three at a time. We started with number 8, 9, and 10: filet mignon, ribeye, and chuck flap. Then we tried numbers 1, 2, and 3: brisket, wgyu style, and flat iron. Our next round was 4, 5, and 6: Chuck eye, pork belly, and pork collar. At the end of our session, we got the chicken and lamb. The meats were thinly sliced for quicker cooking! The buffet area was amazing! We helped ourselves to the cooked items like chop chae and karaage chicken, soft drinks, soft serve ice cream, fresh veggies, seafood like shrimp and scallops, and other goodies such as aburaage and quail eggs! Toppings (green onion, daikon, lemon wedges, etc.) and sauces (I liked peanut the best) were available at the buffet bar. This was such a fun feast! Our two hour time limit went by quickly. It's a great interactive experience! Shabu Shabu cooking is rather healthy... And we got exercise by walking back and forth to the buffet area! Note: if there's excess food waste, $5 will be added to the bill. Also: large parties like ours will be assessed a tip of 18 percent read more
