    Food was amazing and service was even better. Got the spicy beef soup base and devoured it. Our server was just the sweetest and so attentive. Would recommend this place to all my friends as well

    The place is huge, clean, modern, and has friendly service. They were on top of it, coming by to see if we wanted more meat. Plentiful parking too. The food was good overall. My family of 4 each got the beef broth; it was pretty bland so those seeking more flavor might want to opt for an alternative. The individual pots are shallow, like other reviewers have noted. This makes it harder to cook items like corn on the cob pieces that are too big to be fully submerged in the broth. They didn't have slotted spoons, making it challenging to scoop out some items. On the hot bar they had bulgogi, japchae noodles, some dumplings, and more. The Napa cabbage was fresh, and the had multiple types of mushrooms and noodles. Meats were very tasty. While they don't have shaved ice, they have soft serve which had good texture and flavor. Value for the money was competitive with other local area shabu shabu spots.

    I'm always excited for shabu shabu and was excited to try this place. This is an all you can eat shabu spot in Mira Mesa. The restaurant is very spacious. You select your broth, meats, and help yourself to the bar. I selected the beef bone and my partner got the sukiyaki. The broths were good but the sukiyaki had a ton more flavor and overpowered the bone broth. For the meats we got Angus beef brisket, beef short plate, and angus flat iron steak. You can only order items at a time as a table. The meats were thinly sliced and cooked very fast. As far as the self serve bar, there are seafood, noodles, and a bunch of veggies. Sadly, they did not have milk tea. They only had soft serve for dessert. Overall it was a good experience and would come back.

    I really wanted to like this place, but it wasn't so good. The biggest issue was the AYCE ordering system. You're limited to only 3 plates of meat at a time, and the meat was sliced so thin that one plate was only a few bites. Combined with the slow service, it made the experience frustrating. It looked like there was only one server for the huge dining room, so every time we wanted more meat, we had to flag him down and wait. By the time the next round arrived, you almost got full from waiting. The broths were also pretty bland. Everyone in our group tried different broths, and some of us even mixed them together, but none of them had much flavor. For mine, I mixed the beef bone and sukiyaki broths. On the plus side, drinks are included with the AYCE pricing, the restaurant is huge, and the ice cream was actually the best part of the meal. They had a selection of hot food items like japchae noodles, chicken, bulgogi beef, etc... although I didn't try any of them. Overall, I'd give it 2.5 stars. The thin meat portions, ordering limits, slow service, and bland broth made this a place I probably won't be returning to anytime soon.

    I was in Mira Mesa at H Mart and when I came out of the store these ladies were handing out coupons for the new restaurant All That Shabu. So we all decided to go on New Year's day. We sat down and they brought the broth and meat to us. For everything else we went to the bar. I loved the fact that they had a great selection of food. They are probably the only hot pot location that has crab. I loved everything, but felt the sauces had too much sweetness too them. Next time I will create a different mix.

    First time here for girls outing and was pleasantly surprised with how spacious it was, their service, and the food/bar offerings for the individual Shabu experience. I love how there were two sides for everything to keep people from waiting on the same thing. The meats were delicious. We tried all and our faves was 1,4,5 - beef brisket, chuck eye, and pork belly. They came out fast and fresh (not frozen) The only thing I think can improve is the broth umami. It was lacking flavor, but we saved it by added our own seasoning. Overall, I'd come back again!

    My family and I came here for dinner and had quite a feast! This is a Korean all you can eat hot pot. You pay one price and eat as much as you want for 90 minutes, drinks and dessert desserts included. They had a nice selection of meats. My personal favorites were numbers 2 and 10. At the buffet counter, there was one section dedicated to hot cooked food. The selections were a bit limited compared to their Irvine location, but it was still relatively good. I love the huge selection of fresh vegetables, seafood, noodles, etc. I like how each person has their own pot and not have to share. My choice of broth was the spicy beef broth. I didn't think it was spicy at all though. On a scale of 1 to 10, with 10 being the spiciest, I would say it was a 2 at most. There was only a slight hint of spicy flavor. We had really great service. The wait staff visited our table often and made sure we always had enough meat. I can see our family making this restaurant a regular place to eat. What's so great about this restaurant is that you don't leave smelling like hot pot. At some of the other restaurants where the exhaust fan is old or bad, you smell like food when you leave.

    During the cold winter months, who doesn't love some warm shabu shabu? This is a AYCE shabu restaurant that took over the old Souplantation location in Mira Mesa. Its a Korean shabu restaurant so a lot of the side dishes are Korean inspired. It's very spacious inside and can hold around 200 people. They only take reservations for parties of 6 or more. At the table, each person gets their own pot but you only get one flavor. The menu includes various soup bases, meat cuts, an assortment of vegetables, noodles, seafoods, appetizers (Korean rice cake, japchae, sesame balls, and fried chicken), self serve ice cream, unlimited soft drinks, and side sauces/kimchee. I appreciated all the workers were hustling and doing their best to serve all the customers as fast as they could while being friendly and professional. All the food was tasty and fresh. Just a few things they can work on to make it a 5 star experience: - they need an online reservation system. When you get there, they use the old school pencil on a paper system. - they need to be better about refilling the food and drinks. We were there during peak dinner time (630-8pm) and a lot of item were low and specialty teas were out but not being replenished. - wish they cut the meat slices a little thicker. It's so thin it falls apart when you put it in your hot pot.

    Came to this place on a week night, it was pretty empty, but i think it used to be a Soup plantation so it HUGE, i mean HUGE! I don't think they could fill the place if they tried! I liked that you had your own burner so theres no fear cross contamination if you're a germaphobe. I also liked that the control for the burner was on the table top so you could turn it up or down on your own It's all you can eat weekdays from 11:30 - 3 $28.99 and weeknights, weekends and holidays $37.99 which isn't too bad considering it's AYCE. You can choose from the following sauces Original, Miso, Vegetarian, Beef Bone, Spicy Beef, and sukiyaki. We tried all 11 meat selections (4 of them only avaliable when you pay the full price $37.99.) the selections were 1. Prime angus brisket, 2.Short Plate (beef belly), 3. Prime Flat iron steak, 4. Prime angus chuck eye, 5. Pork belly, 6.pork butt, 7. Free range chicken. The 4 extra meats offered at dinner and weekends are 8. Fillet Mignon, 9.Rib Eye, 10.Angus chuck flap, and 11.lamb shoulder. I chose the spicy beef broth, i didnt find it very spicy, and as usual i added a bunch of garlic and chili sauce to spice it up. My favorite meats were 1.angus beef brisket, 2. Short Plate, 9.Rib eye, and the 10. Chuck flap. The servers know the meats by the numbers, so it's easier if you order by the number on the menu. I liked all the pork selections. The Lamb was a bit too gamey for me. Both the flat iron steak and the fillet were not fatty enough for me. There were a lot of veggies, seafood and appetizers to choose from. There's a definite Korean influence in the Kim chee, jap Che, bulgogi, and spicy rice cakes. I really liked the jap che, and fried gyoza. The steamed gyoza that you put into the hot pot wasn't as good, same product but the crispy fried texture adds a lot. The veggies were fresh and i liked the variety. I also liked that there were many different types of noodles. As always i eat the noodles last after the broth is flavored from cooking all the stuff thru the night. i chose the fresh ramen noodles which was a nice way to finish out the hot pot portion of the meal. There was a soft serve as well as soft drinks and tea which was a nice way to end on a sweet note. Over all i liked the selection. Service was attentive and friendly, they came around often and asked if we wanted more meats. You are allowed 3 selections at a time, there is a 90 minute time limit and $5 will be charged if there is an excessive amount of left over food. The place is huge! I think they could wall off 1/3 of the dining area and rent it out as another business!

    First time here. We watched as The Soup Plantation was converted to All That Shabu. We were the first cut this Monday and were greeted and seated immediately. The server described the broth option and asked my wife is she wanted the sukiyaki broth. She said yes and selected it. I chose the Miso. My wife selected 3 meat trays, while I selected a variety of seafood from the self serve section. All the food was delicious and worth the price. The ambiance was modern and friendly. We will definitely be back. Oh yes they have a nice selection of large Japanese Beers in Bottles.

    All That Shabu opened fairly recently in SD and we tried it early on! This location used to be Souplantation, so the restaurant is huge. We made a reservation because we had a big group and we were seated right away. They have individual pots which is probably my favorite thing about this place! I got the bone broth which I really enjoyed, but my friends got their house broth or something and felt like it was really bland. Outside of that, the meats are good, the self serve bar is filled with so many options, and includes drinks and ice cream. I would definitely go back and especially recommend it for big groups!

    There has been a switcheroo on this block of Mira Mesa Blvd with the closing of a hot pot restaurant on the north side of the street while All That Shabu recently opened on the south side. It took over a long vacant structure where a soup and salad buffet restaurant used to reside. The inside was massive with sufficient seating for at least 200 customers. I don't know if they will ever completely fill the dining area. The menu sheet was as small and simple as I have seen for an AYCE hot pot place. The adult price was $28.99 for adults during weekday lunch and then $37.99 for all other times. Children were priced based on their height. All soft drinks and sauces were included in the price. The time limit for a dining session was 90 minutes, and a five dollar surcharge would be added for excessive wasted food. The style was individual pots for each diner so there was a burner at each setting. SIx different broths were available, and I chose the Beef Bone variety which was non-spicy. Eleven types of meat were offered, however each table could only select three at a time. The two of us ordered four rounds of three meats each to complete the entire set of eleven with one duplicate included. The portion size of each meat slice was as thin and light as I have seen. That allowed for a quicker cooking time, but it also left us less satiated. We made multiple trips to the buffet and beverage stations to get drinks and various raw and cooked items. I particularly like the japchae because the cooked glass noodles had a strong peppery flavor. The tofu skin was also nice because they placed several pieces on a skewer. Other than that, the remaining raw seafood and vegetables were ordinary. The items available at the condiments bar weren't as diverse as I have seen elsewhere. Noticeably absent were dry spices and seasonings. The Lamb Shoulder, Pork Belly and Signature Beef Ribeye were my favorite meats. The last one was the meat that we ordered twice because of the marbling in the cut. The time it took for each round to arrive at our table was not long so that was positive. For the price and quality of the items at All That Shabu, I thought it was a fairly average AYCE dining experience, hence the three star rating.

    Our set up prior to digging in
    Cydelyn R.

    Pretty solid for an ayce hot pot. The restaurant itself is clean and tidy. The staff is attentive and friendly. The meats they provide are good quality. I wish they had more food items such as fried bean curd, fish cake, and fish cake mochi. Prices are typical.

I arrived before our party of 7 and they were able to accommodate us by offering two table options. Thoughtful and friendly people work here. Hotpot: What a selection! I loved the mushroom broth, the assortment of fresh veggies from bok choy, romaine lettuce, lots of mushrooms options - my favorite is the enoki, and I loved the tofu skin.

They also have an extensive sauce/snack/dessert bar with unlimited sesame balls, shrimp chips, and other Chinese desserts which I thought was unique. In terms of the actual hot pot ingredients, they definitely use high quality stuff and have a large variety to pick from! Overall, it was a good experience, but if I were to come back I probably would avoid the spicy soup base.

When you only ate somewhere once but they remember you that makes you want to keep coming back! One big draw for me is the kids meal and options/service for kids. If a kid is under 7 they don't charge for them to split your meal with you and they can still get their own soup bowl and chair. Also, they have a kids meal option for 10 and under. My kids absolutely love being treated like real customers. They get to cook their own food and the team addresses them kindly and tends to them. By the nature of this type of meal there is a decent amount of checking in the waitstaff has to do like adjusting cook temps, delivering plates and drinks, coming back for add ons etc so it is a good restaurant experience for kids. They even have high high chairs (not a typo) for the babies. The food is good. Everything is prepped to order... you can literally see people slicing your meat or putting your vegetables together in the back. I come here because I want quality and not the volume of an ACYE place. I'd prefer to spend my calories wisely. I was surprised that it was full but no wait on a weekday. It's hard to find somewhere with a vibe on a weekday but this place has one. It's a short drive from the zoo and Balboa park so I'm sure the team will see us again.
