    Sunday lunch. No wait. Our server, Tay, was very friendly and attentive. Fantastic experience as usual. Love how consistent it is every single time we stop by. Left very satisfied. Til next time!

    All That Shabu ALWAYS hits the spot. For comforting, filling, quality shabu..look no further cuz this is your place! My fam & I always love coming here when we crave meat and fresh veggies. For the $39.99 AYCE dinner price, you really can't go wrong. My fav lately is mixing the spicy beef broth & miso. #trust It's not uber spicy & super flavorful. Everything is fresh and plentiful. The atmosphere is chill. And service is great! Still our fav, go-to Shabu in Irvine!!! RxFoodie recommend!

    TLDR: You're paying about $40 for 11 meat options, a fully loaded buffet table, decent cooked foods, all you can drink soda, and ice cream. I'd say it's a hard deal to beat, given the current shabu landscape. I just felt that the meats weren't good enough to merit a 5-star rating. Soup: I'd stay away from the Original House broth because that's the blandest. Yes, the meats would flavor it up, but I prefer to have an already good broth that the meat will improve. I'll list the meats that I liked, so I ordered these multiple times. - 8. Filet Mignon - 9. All that Shabu: Ribeye - 10: Angus Choice: Beef Chuck Flap - 11: Lamb shoulder These are the ones that are okay. Stuff I won't eat too much of - 1. Angus Beef Brisket - 3. Angus Flat Iron Steak - 4. Angus Chuck Eye Steak One and dones - 2. Wagyu style beef belly - 7. Free range chicken breast Fried Rice: I thought it was fine. Adding some meat to it, soup, or other viands would help spice things up. Bulgogi: Good enough to get as a chaser. Better than the one and done meats, but not better than the rest of the pack. Chicken wings: Cold, used to be crispy, it's how they get people to stop eating the meats. Good enough to try, but I'd refrain from eating too much of this. Buffet section: Good amount of vegetables, classic shabu balls (squid ball, lobster ball, fish ball, etc), some seafood options (white fish, clams, frozen baby scallops), and some noodle options. I would say that I kinda wished they had Goma (sauce), because they didn't. Service: Solid. They make sure you're topped up all the time, and the food arrives relatively quickly. Although, I came here during a slow night. Ambiance: Classic shabu vibe. A bunch of tables for 8s that have an option to be split between parties if needed. The buffet area is in the center of everything, and there's a good amount of space between tables and within the buffet section.

    Didn't I mention we love Shabu Shabu and come here about once a month? Yes, our recent visit was as great as usual.

    Food Menu & spicy broth
    Ta'Hari J.

    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.

    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.

    Fresh, thinly sliced meats - perfect for shabu! Great variety of meat choices.
    Thao Cindy T.

    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!

    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.

    Christie N.

    My favorite shabu shabu spot ever. Their selection of meats and vegetables are plentiful, and they also have a hot bar. I like the original broth, which is a little plain, but that's good because they have a large sauce bar, so I could make my own broth. Service is fast and the meats are really good.

    Lucky P.

    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.

    Quite a nice dinner!
    Amaranta M.

    It was our first time there, recommended by somebody who went and enjoyed it. They were in their right to enjoy it because it was really good. The service was fast & attentive. The food was really good. There is quite a bit to choose from & it being our first time we weren't sure what could go. The 3 of us that went got something different & it all turned out to be good. We had our sever ask us often if we needed more meat, broth & people clearing our empty plates often. Highly recommend. We did have to wait but it wasn't super long & as soon as we sat down we were greeted.

    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!

    James L.

    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.

    Meats galore! Eat to your heart's content!

I'm Asian so I know how to handle spice, but even a level 2 on their spice level will be a bit painful. The interior looks newly designed, and the inside is very clean. The standout dish for me was the fried rice. For a hot pot place, they really know how to cook up a delicious fried rice. The meat was unremarkable, but with how thin they slice the meat at hot pot/shabu places, I've never been too impressed with any meats a hot pot place. The service is okay - you'll probably have an easier time communicating with the staff here if you speak Chinese, but even with limited English, there's not much to convey; and to be frank, with how spicy the food is, your typical Westerner might suffer here as I did (but in a good way).

We received two plates of meat. One was fine. The other arrived looking partially frozen and discolored, and after cooking it was very tough. The atmosphere was also unpleasant due to a constant beeping sound that became very distracting and even gave some of us headaches. When I raised these concerns at the front counter with someone who identified themselves as a senior staff member, the response was only an apology. We were told they were aware of ongoing pest control issues, which was very concerning to hear. There was no compensation offered for the experience. Overall, this visit was far below the standard we've come to expect, and unfortunately it has made us question whether we will return in the future.
