Can get super crowded during dinner time but when we went around 4:30-5 it was empty. I love all the choices you have to pick your own ingredients/condiments/appetizers without waiting for the workers. But ofc you have to tell them which meats you want to order but they've always been so quick bc of the high turnover of customers. I recommend this place for my vegetarian/vegan eaters bc there's lots of options for yall and tofu for your protein. read more

Wish I could give a 3.5 This was my mother in laws early mother's day dinner choice. The wait was an hour but that's expected for a Saturday night. Walking in, the place smelt like fish, and not the good kind. I got the spicy beef broth. It was alright. Definitely beefy but lacking in salt and general flavoring Added soy sauce and garlic. Every one in our party added some form of salt. Added in some noodles and veggies. The meats were pretty good. The scallops.... Were horribly fishy. I feel like it ruined the broth. Oddly enough the white fish was actually the best meat I got. The kimchi was super good. read more

What a cool dining experience. Multiple broth selections, good cuts of meat(wagyu options), along with a plethora of veggies, sides, and sauces. The spicy broth is soooo good! They have a huge open dining area that seats a ton of people. Great for big parties! Some of the hot sides: vegetable white rice, Chowmein "like" noodles, spicy sweet koju Jang fried chicken similar to orange chicken. Some cold veggie options I remember seeing : Corn, bok Choi, clams, mussels, scallions, Kimchi etc. Overall $40 a person is totally feasible. Considering it's all you can eat and you can have up to 4 meats at a time at your table. Staff are extremely friendly and attentive. They dont always offer more meat if there is still trays on the table so be sure to speak up so you can always have 4 trays of meats. read more

All That Shabu really lives up to the name - the experience is all that. The restaurant itself is huge with plenty of seating, but even then it can still rack up a long wait, which honestly just says a lot about how popular (and good) it is. It's an all-you-can-eat shabu shabu concept. There's a separate buffet-style area with a really wide selection of appetizers, fresh vegetables, seafood, sauces, and other condiments. The meat quality is solid for AYCE, definitely above average, and the pricing feels fair for what you get. Between the variety, quality, and setup, it feels like good value overall. Service was also great. Staff were attentive, helpful, and kept things moving smoothly even when it was busy. What I appreciated most is that it never felt repetitive. Between the different sauces, sides, and combinations you can create, every bite can taste a little different, which keeps the experience from ever getting boring. read more

Our fav AYCE shabu spot, and we've tried many! Food is fresh, consistent and lots of variety. Great value! It's often packed so recommend arriving early before 5:30pm if you have large parties. The parking lot is large but area is always packed so might have to drive around a few times if you come by during peak hours. They have a large variety of cooked dishes, fresh seafood, thinly sliced (one of the top reasons we come here) fresh variety of shabu meat choices, kim chi, noodle options, tofu, fresh veggies option and other topping varieties to choose from. They have ice cream and sesame balls as dessert options. We like their spicy beef broth and the kids enjoy their miso broth. You can make your own dipping sauce - several options to pick from at their sauce bar. I prefer sesame or peanut dipping sauce. I add vinegar, garlic, green onions, Serrano chili, chili oil, sesame oil to mine. Kids like their ponzu sauce. Service is always great and they are always packed! read more

They offer a wide selection of broths, with the spicy one being my personal favorite. Meats are ordered à la carte, while the buffet section includes a variety of vegetables, noodles, and seafood. There's also a ready to eat section with items like japchae and fried chicken. In addition, they have a large selection of beverages and desserts, so there's something for everyone. One thing to note is that the quality of the meat seems to decline with each additional order. We visited around 7:30 PM on a Saturday and waited about 30 minutes. Overall, it's a solid spot for ayce shabu! read more

All That Shabu - Interior - Hot Pot Near Me - Irvine, California

Huge plus-each person had their own pot to add their preferred broth and ingredients! You start by selecting your broth and meat options with your server. For the broth, I opted for half beef bone and the original house. For the meats, I ordered lamb, ribeye, brisket, filet mignon, and beef belly. Then head to the self-serve bar to for appetizers and ingredients. The self serve bar offered a wide range of options, including leafy greens, vegetables, noodles, dumplings seafood, rice cakes, and fish cakes for your hot pot. They also had stations for appetizers, sides, sauces, desserts, and drinks. Not only did they have soft drinks, but also had green tea and sikhye (Korean rice drink), which was all included in the price of $38.99 for dinner. This spacious restaurant can accommodate large parties (we had a party of 10) and provided great service. read more

Being a shabu shabu fanatic, All That Shabu had to be on my hit list to try in OC. Parking usually isn't too bad as the parking lot is large. Wait time can get long depending if you go during peak time, but they do a good job of managing tables and getting the wait list to move quickly. The restaurant inside is nice and spacious. The meat was fresh, sliced well, and cooked perfectly in the broth. Nothing tasted frozen or low quality, which makes a big difference for shabu. Broth was flavorful without being heavy, however we all agreed in our party that it could use some improvement as it could have been more tasty. The sauce bar had plenty of options to mix things how you like. Service was quick and attentive, and the place felt clean and well-run even when it was busy. Pricing is around $30 on weekdays and up to $39 on weekends/evenings. Note that they do include gratuity automatically for big parties. Overall, solid quality and a spot I'd happily come back to. read more

I've been coming to this location for the past three years and I'm finally getting around to writing because it's probably one of the best shabu restaurants I've been to. The meat and seafood quality consistently triumphs over most spots in the area. Their other selection of other proteins, fresh veggies, buffet items, and noodles is also generous, making the experience memorable. A perk for me is their unlimited refills on drinks: not just soda but other refreshments such as green tea, iced tea, and shikhye (Korean rice punch). Additionally, they have some dessert items such as sesame covered glutinous rice donuts (찹쌀도넛) and some froyo. It's just an all-around experience when it comes to pleasing your palate. The ambience is loud and lively, as you have booths on the side, individual tables in the back and other side, with some communal tables (for larger parties) towards the center of the restaurant. When it's busy, it will get loud. However, the service is always on point. The servers are always alert and moving around, checking whether your need more soup base or meats. They make sure your tables are always full of meat plates. Such a rarity these days. As for prices, it is very reasonable for OC, especially given the quality and quantity you can consume. Parking is also ample, since it is part of a pretty large plaza. During holidays and peak times, you may have to wait for hours. So, if you want to avoid the lines, make sure to come during the weekdays or as soon as it opens (and off-peak hours). Note: lunch service restricts a few meat options. If you want a dependable shabu place with ample options and great quality, make sure you stop by. You won't regret it! A++ read more

Great place for a vast amount of food selection. As a food connoisseur I can stay the price point to quality and quantity this place has it right. You can indulge yourself with all the premium meat seafood and veggies, plus included drinks and dessert. On stop shop. Place is clean and good service response. The staff was helpful with giving their recommendations than just let you pick. Overall, you can't go wrong at this place. The wait is abit long when it's meal time but that can give an advantage that you can get an appetite and enjoy your meal. Only bad part is you need to cook your own meal and add the sauce or flavoring. So it's an opportunity for folks who can't cook, but for the rest this is one of the best spots for all shabu. read more

I love that there is a pot for each person. Each can then choose their soup flavor rather than the typical one pot for the table. There is a huge variety of sea foods, shrimp, octopus, veggies, noodles, ramen, udon, and some cooked choices. Far too many to mention. The meats are sliced very thin so cooking in the boiling broth takes literally seconds. The dining area is large and spacious which allowed our party of 12 to sit together. Staff is efficient and each does whatever is needed anywhere. Your party will not be seated until everyone is there. No reservations are accepted. To minimize your wait time, come early around 5pm. Lines get long during typical dinner hours. A few seats inside waiting area but none outside. Plenty of parking. It's all you can eat, come hungry. read more

Stopped by All That Shabu on New Year's Day and was pleasantly surprised by how fast and efficient the service was. We got seated right away, which is always a win on a holiday. You're greeted with a choice of broth to start. The house broth was a bit on the plain side and could've used more seasoning, but that was easy to fix thanks to their sauce bar with a variety of options. I added some fresh green onions, minced garlic, ponzu, and sesame sauces to help enhance the broth flavor more. For meats, we started off by offering the beef brisket, beef belly, signature beef ribeye, and pork belly. The brisket was hands down my favorite. It was tender, flavorful, and cooked nicely in the broth. The other cuts were solid as well, and overall the meat quality was higher than other shabu spots I've been to. The hot bar and seafood/vegetable bars had tons of options and were well stocked throughout our meal. Another big plus was the built-in, customizable temperature controls at the table, which made it easy to adjust the heat exactly how we wanted without flagging down a server. Overall, a reliable AYCE shabu spot with great variety, thoughtful features, and quick service. A bit on the pricier side, but the meat quality and selection makes up for it. Definitely a place I'd come back to, especially for large celebrations. read more

I was quite happy with my experience. The restaurant felt very spacious and clean, and the service was on point. We never had to wait for our server to order more meat. They were constantly checking in and asking if we needed anything. Great service overall. Hot bar, veggie bar, and sauce bar: I really loved the hot bar options. There was more variety than at typical AYCE spots, and the quality felt noticeably higher. Meat selection: Pretty standard, but the meat was good quality for AYCE. It wasn't chewy and had nice fat marbling. Broth: This is where I think there's room for improvement. The broths felt watered down and lacked flavor. If I had to pick one, the spicy broth was my favorite since it had some flavor. The house special, sukiyaki, and miso were all quite bland. Overall: It's definitely pricey at around $40 for AYCE dinner. I don't think most people will really make their money back based on how much you can eat. read more

My family and I really enjoyed shabu here. They had a variety of meat to choose from. They had a "salad bar" with seafood, noodles, vegetables, various add-ons, and hot food. Food quality was good. They also had drinks and ice cream included - my favorite drink was the rice punch. Service was very tentative and nice. The only drawback was that their broth was just okay. Tip: For broth, get miso + spicy beef for a nice combination of flavor. I got just miso at first and it was kinda plain tasting. Best cuts of meat were #2 Wagyu Beef Belly, #9 All that Shabu, and maybe #4 Prime Chuck Eye Steak. Pick the ones with marbling - those are more tender. * #1 Prime Brisket 3/5 - Okay, tough and chewy * #2 Wagyu Beef Belly 5/5 - Good mix of fattiness and leanness, tender with a bit of chewiness. * #3 Prime Flat Iron Steak 3.5/5 - Good, kinda boring, not very tender. * #4 Prime Chuck Eye Steak 5/5 - Very tender. * #8 Filet Mignon 4/5 - Good, though very lean so boring to eat. * #9 All that Shabu 5/5 - Super tender and tasty. * #10 Angus Chuck Flap 4/5 - Very tender, but slightly gamey for some reasons. read more

This is my favorite Shabu place. I have been to "All that Shabu" in LA but this location in Irvine has more side dishes+dessert options at the buffet tables. The ingredients are all very fresh and nicely prepped. There are lots of option and have pretty much every protein options. There's a lot of different vegetables to get also. I LOVE the hot food options: Bulgogi, Jap Chai Noodles, Tempura, Fried Rice, even Korean Fried Chicken. They also have a drink station where you can get cold rice drink which is my absolute favorite. There are also teas and sodas you can refill. You can get ice cream too! The booth seating is extra spacious. The restaurant is kept clean. Service was so fast. Waitress took our orders right away for the AYCE. Waitress immediately got our pots ready with their soups. Did a great job making sure the meats are still coming+ if we wanted to order more. I had a party of 4 and I had the best time eating here! read more

I've been meaning to try All That Shabu for a while now so I was super excited to finally get a chance to give it a try. The food here is all you can eat, so make sure you come hungry. You start off with picking a broth (pro tip: you can sample broths and also mix broths), ordering your meat selection, and then going to the buffet area and sauce bar. I ended up mixing the spicy beef and sukiyaki broths and the combination of the two was super yummy! I also tried all the beef options and everything was solid. Overall, I'd say they have a decent selection of everything here and the quality of everything was pretty good! The ambiance here is pretty nice and service was friendly. We came on a Friday around 6:30pm and there wasn't too much of a wait. Overall, I'd recommend this spot for shabu! read more

All That Shabu - Spicy beef and sukiyaki broth with variety of meats - Hot Pot Near Me - Irvine, California

Yummy AYCE Shabu Shabu spot in Irvine! Was excited to try this spot because they have Sukiyaki (my favorite broth). Think the pricing is different during the afternoons, but in the evenings, it is $39 per person w/ lots of broth and meat options. As for the Sukiyaki broth, it was good, but not as sweet as I wanted it to be. Their sides, sauce and hot food bar were also amazing though. There was so much to choose from, and I especially loved how they had sesame balls. The service can be a bit slow because of how big and busy the restaurant is. We would have to chase them down a few times to get more meat. There was also a time limit of 1.5 hours. read more

Definitely worth coming to! I've gone here a handful of times by now for multiple occasions. They're very consistent with their food, selection, service and unfortunately their wait times. If you have a big group, call ahead! The food is worth it. The broth is great, the meats are AYCE and you can order a good selection of meats. The veggies and other add-ons are buffet style so you can grab as you please. That includes rice, sauces, hot sides, drinks, and even free ice cream! Overall I would definitely recommend this spot and will keep coming back. read more

Got the rainy day blues? I know exactly what will surely cure it..All that Shabu!!! I promise that the comfort of something soupy always brightens that rainy, glum chum, lazy mood. :) This AYCE Shabu always hits the spot. Located in the Culver Plaza ~ behind the 99 Ranch market and on the backside by All that BBQ & 7-11. The spacious interior sits many and is a good place for large parties. While there can be a wait sometimes, make sure to put your name down on the waitlist pronto! I typically avoid prime lunch/dinner times and/or always come 15-30 mins before their lunch opening at 11:30 am to ensure shorter wait times. TRUST..the food is worth the wait. Their service is always excellent & they are very attentive to take your meat orders and broth refills. For an AYCE place, the price is very reasonable ($27.99 for lunch, from 11:30 am-3 pm and $34.99 for after 3 pm/dinner times & wkends), especially for the quality and variety of the meats and the fresh buffet bar ~ constantly replenished with healthy veggies, seafood, noodles, dumplings, banchan side dishes. You name it, they have it! They even have a side bar of cooked foods ~ like chicken wings, Korean japchae noodles, and fried rice. The price of your meal includes a drink (choose between sodas or teas) & dessert (vanilla ice cream or sesame balls) also, so what more can you ask for??? My go-to is the spicy beef broth. Sometimes I get adventurous and ask for a mix of the spicy beef broth & their miso broth. Make sure you customize your ponzu and goma sauces for dipping because they compliment the meal perfectly and maximize the all flavors. I've even perfected customizing my secret sauces over time..that's how much I love eating here. To end the meal, make sure you grab some sesame balls for something sweet (filled with red bean) cuz they are so mini cute and deelish! You literally can't just eat one. Definitely my fav and go-to Shabu in Irvine..always! A TOTAL MUST TRY!!! read more

First time and Wow Arrived at 11am (restaurant opened at 11:30am) and already the wait list was packing up. Luckily, the restaurant was large enough to accommodate larger groups and our party of 4 were seated quickly by John the host (we got an awesome table that allowed us to go in & out, we didn't want a booth). We got to pick our individual broths and community shared meats (we picked 5 different cuts of beef and pork). We then went wild with gathering our sauces, vegetables, seafood, prepared Korean food, & drinks. Overall the selection was impressive and the quality was very good. Service was excellent and 90 minutes limit was adequate (we were totally stuffed) read more

We came here for a birthday party and needed to seat party of about 20 people. We had one person get there earlier to add our name on the waitlist. It did take nearly an hour for us to get seated. We were placed at two tables that were next to each other. As soon as we got seated, the staff were very quick to grab our meat orders and pour the soup bases. Throughout our time there, they were also quick and consistent on checking on us. This location was great because they had a self serve bar in the back with everything that you'd need. The drinks are self serve and soft serve as well!! But don't fall into the trap of grabbing too much like I did... When it came down to the soup, I got the spicy beef broth. It had a lot of flavor, so something that I'd recommend. For the meats, our half of the table tried everything except for the chicken and lamb. It all tasted pretty solid and we enjoyed the experience. For parking, there are plenty of spots in the plaza. It did feel pretty full at around dinner time. read more

Craving some hotpot, we found this great AYCE Shabu Shabu restaurant! You first pick your choices of protein, then choose your base, which you can combine also. You head off to the island to choose your veggies, sauces, etc... They also have an area with cooked food, drinks, and a soft serve machine. The restaurant is kept clean and tidy. There is plenty of seating, but you might have to wait a little, depending on the time, the service and staff are all great and fast. Come hungry and crawl out full! Happy Nom Nom! read more

Awesome experience at All That Shabu for a team event. The waiters were all super quick and responsive, and it was only $29.99 per person for all you can eat meat (lunch) which isn't bad considering the amount you can get. I would recommend getting the beef belly because it is the most tender and fatty cut. There's also a vegetable and sauce bar where you can load up on everything that is not meat! read more

Well-oiled machine of an establishment that has the servers just concentrating on the meat! Even the water is self-serve besides the banchan, seafood, sauces and salad.... They gave good portions of quality meat at each round and were attentive to our needs, esp the recommendation for sake or soju. Come before or right after the corporate lunch rush for ease and comfort. I will return for another lunch gathering! Plenty of parking next to the gym. read more

So much selection! All That Shabu serves hot pot style food. Glad that each person gets their own hot pot. They have lots of vegetables, seafood, sides where you serve yourself. You have to order the meat through the servers though. Everything tastes really good. Saw that my friends left some food uneaten because there were so much option. One downside is that we have to order the meat through server and they only give us paper thin cuts of meat and there isn't much meat. Had to order many times to get more meat. Interior is nice and well ventilated. There are many staffs walking around and providing service constantly. They have a staff that constantly cleans the food area which is nice. Price is $38.99 for weekend which I think is fair value. read more

I live a good 40-50 minutes away from Irvine, but I love coming to All That Shabu when I'm in the area to get my Shabu-Shabu fix. It's nice that each person gets their own personal pot to add their preferred broth and ingredients. My personal favorite is the Beef Bone, Spicy Beef Bone, and Miso - depending on which flavor strikes my mood. They have a self serve bar that offers a good range of options of ingredients, including vegetables, noodles, rice cakes, seafood, dumplings, etc. to add to your pot. A great perk for me was that it also includes unlimited refills on refreshments like soda, green tea, iced tea, coffee, and rice punch (shikhye). They also offer some dessert items like ice cream, which is a nice way to end your meal. It definitely feels like you get a big bang for your buck! Service is also great and efficient - it seems like the servers are always checking in on you to see if you want to order more meats or to add more soup base to your pot. Definitely worth trying this place! read more

Having tried Hot Pot elsewhere, we came here based on a recommendation and a review of their website. The place is nice and spacious. We were quickly greeted and asked if we've been here before. We were given a brief rundown on how their buffet model works and then set out to eat. Plenty of items to choose from and did not have the room to try them all. So things to look forward to when we come back. Similar to the old Souplantation, there was free soda refills and soft serve ice cream for dessert. Table service was great and we were checked on regularly asking if we needed more meats. There was no rush for us to leave and we enjoyed our meal. When the bill came, it was a bit more than what was on the website, so that would be the only negative. Based on reading other Yelp reviews, it was most likely due to a weekend rate, but this was not listed on the website. Otherwise, an good dining experience. read more

I've been here multiple times and, for the price, it is worth it. It is buffet style and perfect for large groups. I love how everyone gets their own hotpot, as I don't like sharing the pot. The meat is good, there is a huge sauce rack, variety of noodles, seafood, veggies, etc. Love the variety. Also, they have Korean rice punch (my fave to get there). Also, they have ice cream you can bring out in a little cup. I think that they can work on cleaning the dishes a bit better, since I've found some unclean chunks of food. This is the reason why I will give it a 4. The service is great though :) read more
