Been to just about all the Shabu Shabu around here. By far, the best. Service is awesome. I must have come here at least 30 time in last 6 months. Meat is great. Just all around 5 star. read more

Came in for a late lunch last weekend. The restaurant was pretty quiet for a Saturday afternoon. Staff was very welcoming and throughout our meal they were very attentive. They even offer to mix your dipping sauces for you. I had the sukiyaki broth and my wife had the seaweed soup. They give you a nice assortment of vegetables and noodles standard with any meal. They will also give you more if you ask. The meats were pretty standard which they cut for you after ordering. I got the rib eye and lamb which were fine. We also tried the fried chicken and stuffed mussels which were both good and a nice way to start if you're hungry. We used a 15% off coupon that was mailed to our house which made our lunch slightly less expensive. All in a ll a good spot for Japanese hot pot if you're in the area. read more

A fun spot for dining with a group! Five of us + a little (two year old) friend made our way down to IShabu Shabu on a Sunday night with no reservation. They were able to seat us all at the bar immediately and poured us a pitcher of beer, STAT. This restaurant did a fabulous job of accommodating our varying levels of hot pot expertise and dietary restrictions. The staff was patient and efficient in taking our orders, answering questions, and making sure all of our hot pots were sufficiently hot and full. I ordered the tonkotsu broth with toro beef and a side order of fish balls. The udon and veggies come beautifully arranged in a little bowl and the meat + fish balls came out on small plates. This ended up being A TON of food--next time I could definitely split the plate of meat (or just do vegetarian) and be a-okay. The fish balls are always a favorite of mine and I'd definitely order again. I finished dinner with a macaron and green tea ice cream sandwich which was suuuuuper sweet, but very cute. My meal, beer, and tip ended up being about $40--not something I'd want to do every night, but definitely not bad for a birthday or other fun occasion. Parking is easy and free in the lot out front and you could walk to the beach to burn off some of your giant meal if you want to. Inspired to do a South Bay hot pot tour now--thanks for kicking things off, IShabu Shabu! read more

This was our first time eating Shabu Shabu. The staff were very patient and friendly letting us know everything about the sauce and way of eating. I had Konbu and my husband had Sukiyaki for the broth. We enjoyed both so much! Mine, konbu is very light on the soup, you can taste the original flavor of the food. And the dipping sauces were both on point. There are also garlic, reddish, and green onion you can add in your dipping sauce; and spicy sesame oil if you like your food spicy. So many ways you can season food on your own! The Suliyaki my husband had was great too. It's heavier on the broth side and you got an egg for dipping too. With the meal, we each got a veggie bowl, a plate of meat, a bowl of rice and a small dish of udon noodles. It was a lot of food. It was such a great experience, both on the food and the staff. We will definitely be back! read more

I can't believe I caught them on their soft opening night! I've always dreamt of being a restaurant's first! Well I wasn't totally first, but man, were they new. Everyone was struggling. The servers were overwhelmed, the slicer wasn't slicing fast enough, and the customers were awkwardly reaching over each other left and right thanks to the short bar stools that didn't line up with the shabu pots. They had no sukiyaki broth, but the traditional slice of seaweed was fine... And free. The veggies were a diverse assortment ranging from Napa cabbage to mushrooms to fishcakes and two types of noodles. All three dipping sauces sort of go with everything, and the House Barbecue, Sesame, and Seafood Sauce are all equally good depending on what you prefer. The Scallops are a comfortable medium quality. Both the US Kobe and Angus Prime Ribeye have a lot of flavor, and the Lamb is a tougher, gamier ribeye but it's just as good. The quality of the service doesn't count on a soft opening night. The servers were scrambling, but it's hard to hold it against them when the restaurant wasn't even open! The kinks have to be ironed out, but no doubt they will be by the time I get back to this friendly, family-owned shabu shop! read more

Pros: Great new addition to the South Bay. Right across from my Pilates studio and conveniently located on PCH, IShabu Shabu offers many delicious choices. The meat is fresh and the veggies are bright and beautiful. Love all the sauces but definitely try the Sukiyaki style. Don't let the raw egg be a turn off. It adds a great subtlety to the flavor. They even throw in free dessert. Mochi or ice cream. Cons: The restaurant is new and the service reflects this. The waitstaff is often confused and the service slow. The real problem however, is that their 10% offer on Yelp requires you writing a Yelp review in front of them which they will then review before giving you the 10%. Awkward. Hence the 3-stars. read more

After seeing the "Coming Soon" signs for months and months, Ishabu Shabu is finally open! I was in the mood for Shabu Shabu last night and it did not disappoint. The design and layout of the restaurant is lovely. The staff was friendly and attentive and each elements of the meal was presented beautifully. I had the US Prime Beef, which comes with an assortment of vegetables, and udon noodles. Everything was delicious and I'm excited about having a tasty Shabu Shabu place in south Redondo! read more

IShabu Shabu - Beautiful presentation of the vegetables - Hot Pot Near Me - Redondo Beach, California

New shabu joint in South Bay, nice trendy ambiance. The good: thicker cuts of meat than most shabu places outside of Little Tokyo. Free ice cream. The bad 1: if you get the cheaper "choice" beef you can definitely taste the difference. The bad 2: good hardworking staff although not very efficient in seating customers and refilling broth & condiments... they're still new i get it. 2 large "choice" + 1 drink = $53. Cost of ingredients = $10.50(?) I ought to open my own Shabu and visit that new Maserati dealership in Torrance :) The verdict: Shabu Shabu House in Little Tokyo is still THE BEST. read more

Shea and Jason took great care of us. Food was fabulous. Excellent Sake selection. 10/10 will come again.

I went here on Saturday night with my girlfriend and had a lot of delicious shabu-shabu. This restaurant is located close enough to the beach so that you can watch the sunset and then drive up a few blocks and enjoy a delicious dinner. I got the Kobe beef with the sukiyaki broth. The meat was very tender and the broth was just the right amount of salty and savory. Along with the delicious dipping sauce everything was so flavorful that I even finished all my veggies. It also helped that the veggie platter had a good variety with everything from baby bok choy, mushrooms, carrots, tomatoes and tofu. I will definitely try to be back soon and I would recommend this place to anybody who wants to eat something that is not only delicious, but is healthy and will make you feel good. It's also a lot of fun to get to cook everything fresh as you eat it so that the meat is tender, warm and at its peak point of cooked freshness and flavor. read more

New Shabu, Shabu place in RB. We parked on PCH but we found out there is a parking lot in the back . It's the complex with the Arby's in it. Restaurant entrance is in the back with the doors facing the parking lot. Staff is young and friendly. They are more than happy to explain how to prepare Shabu Shabu . So newbies are welcome. You get 3 sauces and have your pick of protein or you can go vegetarian . Selection of veggies was good. I chose the 2 item combo regular portion. They also give you udon noodles but wait till you cook some goodies in the water first so you can create a broth. I added the ponzu sauce to the broth and made myself a tasty udon bowl. Free dessert was a plus. I had green tea ice cream but they had mochi ice cream, as well as vanilla and red bean. Fun place with a great staff definitely would return. read more

I was here a couple of days ago with some of my friends. We stumbled across this place and thought "why not go in and grab a bite?" We were greeted as we entered and got seated quickly. We had never had/done hotpot before and the waitress we got helped us by explaining everything. We placed our order and shortly after we started getting our food. I personally went for the Kobe and it was seriously amazingly good, everything from the meat to the dipping sauces, the veggies and the rice really complimented each other perfectly. The service is beyond amazing. The staff is amazingly friendly and they really care about your experience there. They will help you out with explaining what you might not understand or want to know more about. A friend of mine even asked one of the staff if they could help him with learning how to eat with chopsticks and two of them did their best to try and teach him. All in all a great experience, would love to eat here everyday if I could. read more

I love this place, if you haven't been yet, you need to try it! I have always been a big fan of fondue, and I wasn't introduced to hot pot, or shabu shabu until a couple of years ago. To put it simply, this cooking style is amazing, hands on, fun and delicious. Oh yeah, it can be nutritious as well. The staff at IShabu Shabu makes me feel like family. I am always greeted by a smile and great service. The staff is very friendly and open to helping you navigate this cooking style, should it be your first time. The best part is, there is no wrong way to do it! IShabu Shabu has really high quality ingredients and it is apparent that they take pride in this restaurant. From their friendly service to the family like feel of the restaurant. They set themselves apart from their competition in a couple of different ways. One being the house Barbecue sauce, I like a little hot oil and some garlic mixed in - try it! They now offer three cooking styles Traditional (lightly seasoned water- super healthy), Miso (pretty much just like the soup), and Sukiyaki (delicious, like a rich soy sauce-ish). They also use really high quality meats and veggies; the meat sliced, how i like it, a touch on the thicker side. I travel, a lot, for work and I am constantly on the lookout for great restaurants. This one certainly fits the bill, and luckily it is right here in Redondo Beach. Take it from a guy who is an avid cooking enthusiast and a seasoned traveller. This place is fantastic, I have been blown away time and time again since it opened. Try it, enjoy, and I'll see you there for a nice glass of Sake. read more

Good meat. Good sukiyaki. Service is great! Only weird part is the strainer you can't fit in the pot. Even got a free mochi ice cream at the end. Has happy hour - $11/pitcher of Kirin. read more

This new place is located on top of the Arby's. Parking is pretty opened. Like many say, the decor is very modern and new, if you sit towards the window, you can have a nice view while eating your delicious meal. The vegetables are very plentiful and delicious, the meat was also plentiful but when it comes to kobi and prime, we couldn't really taste the difference. They give u around 8 pieces of meat, if you get the combo plate(which is only $2 more) they give u 10 pieces total. The one complaint that i have here is the pricing. Dinner would cost u $16 for the cheapest(no beef that cheap, beef starts at $19). The staff there was pretty friendly and told us they are still in soft opening so a lot can change before the grand opening at the end of this month. We went during lunch so the pricing was high, however our waiter told us there will probably be a lunch menu. Overall, it was a good experience, would try again after their grand opening. read more

We went to dinner at IShabu Shabu for my wife's birthday. It was a spur of the moment thing, but we had a really nice time there. The staff were very nice and attentive. The restaurant was also quite nice, very clean and comfortable. The clientele were all couples so the place might not be at the top of the list if you have small children. The food was really good. I had never had shabu shabu before, but liked it a lot, so did my wife. The meat, veggies and noodles were all very fresh. The staff were helpful getting everything seasoned and cooked properly. We got the small servings and still had plenty left over to bring home. I enjoyed a nice Udon lunch the next day. We definitely plan on going back. read more

Honestly, I personally never thought I would take the time to write a yelp review, but tonight was an exceptional experience (First Yelp Review) Today was my Birthday, and my girlfriend and I tried iShabuShabu for the first time. The quality of service, food and atmosphere was absolutely amazing. Service was attentive and polite without being overbearing or intrusive; the food was competitively priced but of high flavor and quality; atmosphere provided views of the ocean sunset, tv viewing, and moderately volumed upbeat music. I ordered the large 8oz kobe beef for $27 and my girlfriend had the large mix of shrimp (5 piece) and salmon (4 oz) for $24; all extremely flavorful and quickly prepared. It's all about the small but noticeable and experience changing intentions at this restaurant. Our server was kind enough to prepare my udon soup for me, they adjusted the blinds for mood when lighting was appropriate, adjusted the tv position and volume for customer viewing, and opened the doors as we entered and exited. I could go on and on about this new beach city gem, but the bottom line is We Will Be Back! Added Notes: (Convenient Parking & Complimentary Dessert) read more

IShabu Shabu - Large Kobe Beef- Flavorfully Melts in Your Mouth - Hot Pot Near Me - Redondo Beach, California

Good shabu place by Redondo that's clean and decently priced. I had the small order of prime ribeye for $24 and added on clams for $10. They could be better at mixing up combos instead of charging extra $10 for add-ons though. The veggies and noodles that came with the order could've also been bigger but hey nothing is super cheap in the area! Good for a quick dinner thats semi healthy and filling. You get free ice cream after your meal too! read more

We LOVE shabu and we are regulars at King Shabu Shabu - we were excited to try this place. It's very clean, modern decorations and the staff was nice. They seemed very junior, could have stopped by a few more times to refill our drinks the place was pretty empty. We got the kobe sukiyaki - the broth seemed a little watered down and not as sweet. The kobe was OK we should have tried the wagyu instead. Nothing really memorable about our experience other than the free ice cream at the end. That's cool. There were a few additional vegetables that were different than King Shabu Shabu like the fish/egg ball, corn, tomato (random) and some purple looking yam - we could have had more vegetables in our fancy bowl. We will stick to our usual go-to Shabu place, King Shabu Shabu :) the workers there have high energy and food is always on point! read more

Awesome experience！Their enthusiastic and delicious food were worth our waiting in line. We ordered the A-5 Wagyu which is tender and juicy. Really recommend you to taste it. While the whole restaurant was full. We saw all their severs were trying their best to cleaning the seats. And actively communicated with us, and tell us how long it will takes. I'll definitely go there again. read more

Quite possibly the worst experience I have ever had at any restaurant, in my life. The whole experience was a nightmare. From the second we sat down, our waiter was one of the most unprofessional man we have ever met. It started when I had politely asked him where the spoon was to pour my broth into my bowl, his response, well if you had bothered to look inside your tray, you would see it is there. It was all down hill from then. We asked him for another round of drinks, his response, I'm not your waiter. After we had finished our meal, I politely asked the waiter if he wouldn't mind taking our dishes, we were tired of looking at all our dishes, we wanted to sit and chat for a bit, his response was that they do not take the dishes, until we pay our check. The best part was the bill, let me tell you there were only 4 of us eating and celebrating my fiance and my engagement. We had a few beers and some sake, our total bill was over $400 people. $400 f******* dollars. None of us could believe what we were looking at. Over $100 per person, for meat broth soup and a few beers and sake. We were literally flabbergasted. I asked to speak to a manager and are you ready for what this prick said, whats the point, you are going to have to pay the F****** bill anyway. He then came back without the manager and shoved a menu in my face and said you can figure it out yourself. We left. We wont ever be back, and I hope none of you ever go back to this Hell hole. What a terrible terrible TERRIBLE experience. I will be contacting the USDA and reporting this as the quality of food was horrid. DO NOT EAT HERE!!!! read more

I know you are going to want to try this, and when coming from the North on PCH it's tempting to make a left turn across traffic. Don't!!! Just Go past it two blocks, make a right, a right, a right and a left at the signal. Your passenger will think you area genius. And your mouth will begin to anticipate a healthy experience. I asked my server as it was my first time and she set me and my friend up at the high bar and taught us each how to cook a fresh meal on our own induction burner, Really! My friend had Scallops Shrimp and Salmon as his protein I just asked the server to introduce me to the I Shabu experience. Not where you would expect to find an Ocean view a $7 pitcher of beer or a gastronomical adventure. It's basically on the roof of what was the old Arby's for those locals that remember such things. Quite an improvement read more

Quite an experience! recommend for their fresh ingredients and meat.

Amazing food, clean operation, and great service. Would definitely go again, will probably become a regular.

This place is excellent. Everything is super fresh and the dipping sauces are so good. Food presentation is really beautiful. We had the Kobe Wednesday special and we will be back every Wednesday! The wait staff is super helpful and nice too Another great thing is that they have big vents above the induction cook tops so you never get a ton of steam in your face. read more

Loved the food and service here. The top reason I picked this spot is for their individual shabu shabu pots which is a must during covid. Had the sukiyaki with wagyu signature beef, comes with rice, udon noodles, and an assortment of fresh vegetables. Impeccable service, very attentive and friendly. Their sake is very decent too. read more

Out of all the Shabu-Shabu restaurants I have been to. I have to say this is my most favorite one to go to!

The staffs are so kind and they give us the best service as well! Definitely my go to spot! read more

I have been craving a good Shabu spot since I moved out of Chino. IShabu is right on PCH and has a private free parking lot, so it was super convenient for me. I was welcomed in with extremely friendly service by the two staff working this morning. I ordered Seaweed Salad, the miso broth with a regular 6oz portion of Angus Choice beef. I also ordered the raw egg dipping sauce along with the Goma dipping sauce. The display was beautiful, and way more than enough food for one person. Really good selection of veggies that you normally don't find at shabu (corn, tomato, and potato). The girl working seasoned my sauces for me, and tended to my broth occasionally, which was extremely nice and helpful. It was a ton of food and only $15 for the lunch, $4 for seaweed salad, and another $1 for raw egg sauce (you must order this!).....very good price when you consider I took half the broth and lots of noodles home for a second meal tonight! I will definitely return, the food, atmosphere, and service were all excellent! read more
