This place is actually not going to reopen. They are planning to close City of Industry's location at the end of August 2026. I hope everyone can go support them before they close for good :(
We've always enjoyed the shabu at Jazz Cat over the years - their ingredients never fail to be fresh and good quality, and the portions are generous with tasty sauces and a wide variety of broths to choose from. You start by choosing your meat option, then the broth and sauce - and you can also add sides and snacks from the decent sized menu. I almost always go with either the Angus beef or premium pork selection. I also like to make sure I add an egg to my order - I love the creamy yolk when it's been poached in the broth and broken over the rice - YUM! You have two options when it comes to your meat/veggie ratios in the portions - regular or "T-rex". The "regular" option gives you more veggies and a "regular" serving of the meat while the T-rex option gives you quite a bit more meat. I can't say I see a difference in how much veggies you get with the T-rex - it almost looks the same as the regular and for the same price so it's a good deal imo. The meats are consistent in their quality and always taste great to me with soft, delicate textures - sliced so thin they cook up fast in the boiling broths. I love to dip them in the satay sesame sauce (my fave one here). The veggies come in a surprisingly wide variety - cabbage, bok choy, some type of squash/gourd, zucchini, broccoli, baby corns, onions, and you even get a fish ball and imitation crab piece! For the broth, I pretty much stick to either the pork bone broth (my usual) or the Japanese creamy miso if I'm feeling something lighter. I've also tried the tomato broth and the creamy milk/corn broth and they were good but not ones I'd get regularly (personal preference). The broths are all tasty but rather light and mild and could definitely stand to be a bit stronger in flavor. I almost always find myself wishing for a little salt or soy sauce. The satay sesame sauce is complex and sooo flavorful with the peanutty satay complimenting the umami sesame profile and adding that much needed boost of flavor that's missing from the broths. The Japanese sesame and thai satay are also solid sauce choices. The meals come with a bowl of rice but you can sub vermicelli noodles if you want. They also include a little portion of the noodles with veggies so you get both either way. The vibes are sleek and modern with very swanky jazz-club style decor and intimate seating for your party. I love the cat theme too - even their hotpots have paws and ears - it's so fun! Service is often a tad lacking - they're nice but inattentive and go long stretches without checking on you (even when they aren't busy). You almost always have to flag someone down for the check or just make your way to the front to pay. That's the main reason for my four star rating as opposed to five. Prices are decent for the quality and portions. And they also have an AYCE option! There's a decent sized parking lot in back of the building but when it's busy parking gets challenging - especially since they closed their San Gabriel location. All in all this is a solid choice for shabu - we've been coming for years (my review is long overdue lol) and definitely will be back!
I have to admit this was our first choice however we were pleasantly surprised with our dinner. We were in Arcadia area, so knew there were a lot of choices for a hot pot let struck out at the first two since we didn't have reservations and the wait was extremely long. We found this place on Yelp and immediately went on the waitlist. We were seated immediately upon arrival. All the tables are booths within individual burners/pots for each person. They have an option of all you can eat and Ala cart. That all you can eat for an adult was $39.95 for dinner. My only complaint was we had to flag the server down each time we wanted something. They weren't really checking on you voluntarily. Once we did ask for an item, they did bring it promptly. The way this one works is: you pick your soup base which they have a lot of options. I chose the Japanese miso, which was so flavorful. Next, you choose two sauces. Now it's time for all the stuff inside starting with the meats. They didn't have any seafood on all you can eat menu. Next was the veggies. I didn't see bok choy on the menu, but we asked and they had it. Lastly, you can ask for noodles or rice. They bring everything to your table so there isn't a buffet type area where you get your sauces or veggies. It was such a cool day in shabu shabu hit the spot.
I use to love jazz cat since set menu hot pot places are pretty rare to come by now since AYCE is a better business model for a lot of hot pot places but over the years i feel like the quality gone downhill. The service was good as always but i feel like the quality in meat declined. However the set menu was large enough to make me feel satisfied towards the end of the meal. There's plenty of seating and the table size is really big! perfect for a good spread of ingredients. They also have an AYCE option here ! Plenty of parking! and Molly tea is the next plaza down to finish the state flow
Awww this place is such a vibe! Came in on a rainy night, perfect for some hot pot. The restaurants decor lives up to their name Jazz Cat. I love the low lighting on each table. It's a perfect place for a date night or a group of company. Their sweet potatoe fries as a side were good w a crunchy outside and soft inside combo. The server was attentive and helpful with suggestions for flavoring Soup was super yummy and they give an abundance of topping amounts, I was full from one serving, imagine AYCE :0
First time at the Arcadia location! Parking was a little hard to find but there's a lot in the back and you can only enter the restaurant from the back. Service was pretty good. We had a party of 8 and were seated immediately on a Saturday night at 6 pm. The first round of food came out quickly but the rounds afterwards took some time. Recommend the kelp and sukiyaki soup bases. You can also order multiple items at the same time for the ayce menu without limit. We didn't realize there was also green onions and garlic and some other condiments in the hallway so keep an eye out for that. They also had a promotion where they gave out free Jazz Cat pots too!
Jazz Cat in Arcadia offers all-you-can-eat (AYCE) shabu-shabu. There is a variety of broths and sauce to choose from. ::Food:: We enjoyed the Premium Angus Beef for its tenderness but the beef short plate was overly fatty. The Japanese Spicy Miso and Spicy Tomato broths were flavorful and packed with spice, while the Satay Sesame broth was watery. For dipping sauces, the Ponzu and Japanese Spicy Miso was a good choice. ::Customer Service:: Service started off strong, with polite and friendly staff, but our server became less attentive. ::Tips:: - Stick to the Premium Angus Beef for better quality. ::M's Notes:: - Outdoor seating - Parking lot
The best AYCE shabu shabu restaurant in the area. There are not many AYCE places around anymore, but this one is the most worth it and most affordable. At only $40/person you get all of the meat options, vegetables, noodles, and others hot pot essentials. The quality of the ingredients is great and the sauces are also very delicious. The staff are super friendly and helpful and the interior is huge. The AYCE option is super worth it, but they also have a la carte options.
I haven't been to many shabu shabu restaurants, but this one had the biggest portion sizes out of all of them. Loved their lamb and beef. Their miso broth was better than their bone broth, but both were delicious. Definitely add an egg to your soup and choose their spicy bean sauce which went very well with the meal. Service was very fast and I like how big their booths are, packed with 6 burners at each. I'd like to go back to try different combinations.
Ambience: pretty picturesque. Big chairs and tables with build in hot pot. Food: ok. It's edible. I like my t- Rex size meat and but the veggies portion was a bit small. Vermicelli was about 4 to 5 strands. Portion was smaller than if you go to melange pay by pound places. Service: Quiet bad. Put in back corner. Not check often. Waiter mixed broth, have uncommitted answers, and attitude like they didn't really to be there. But found out later broth were mixed. Had to wait about 30 minute for my milk tea. And flag a waiter to ask. ( they forgot) Soup was almost dried out before they refill with plain broth. Had to flag waiter from common area to get service. Pricing: 28 for beef T- Rex 25 for regular chicken 8.50 for about 1.2 cup of fried tofu 4.99 for green milk tea that taste funny... Total was 100 bucks plus. And they have a promo spend 100 you get a cat hot pot ( I gave it away). Tip: I gave bare minimum because in the end my sister had to get up and get more napkins and spoons. Since there were no one to come to check up on us after giving us our food. Our water was gone. Tables were not cleaned. If table next to us didn't have guests we probably be ignored until check time. Amazing huh? When they have check they check table 2x and I refused to pay until they gave us to- go containers. Location: not noticeable at the front main street in the dark. But Google map found the place. Pokestop: 1 gym and 2 Pokestop within reach. Maybe there's a reason why there's a lot of Pokestop....
I had a good experience dining here. I considered this place to be a classic hot pot place in the San Gabriel Valley area. The staff was nice and hosted us efficiently and attentively. They came coming to our table to ask if we needed anything further. The golden fish ball was probably a stand out from everything that we ordered. All the other items (broth, quail egg and meats) were pretty standard and nothing too different than from other hot pot places, but still really good. The price isn't too bad either, considering all the food you are getting. Overall, this place hits the spot when it's a cold day out, or even if you are just craving casual hot pot. Sad that their valley location closed down, but this new location still does it nicely.
I've been coming to this place for eons now....their other location on valley is closed now..... Overall this place is clean consistent and nothing is ever wrong...it is kind of hidden and I think business used to be more bustling..... I just got the veggie miso with the veggie combo almost all the time It is one of my go to places for shabu. Service was good and the place is generally clean. I'll be back as I always have!!!!
My party arrived at Jazz Cat around 6:00 PM on a weekday and experienced no wait to be seated, which was a great start to our visit. The staff greeted us warmly and promptly asked whether we preferred the a la carte or all-you-can-eat dining option. We chose the a la carte option, and it ended up being more than sufficient for everyone in our group. For our meal, we ordered the Japanese Spicy Curry soup base in the T-Rex style (more meat, fewer vegetables) and the Japanese Miso soup base in the regular style (a balanced portion of meat and vegetables). When comparing the two broths, the Japanese Miso soup is more flavorful, as in saltier (in a good way!) where the Japanese Spicy Curry was more mellow. Regardless, both broths were flavorful and enjoyable. One tip for future diners: opting for the regular style may be the better value. The T-Rex style does not provide a significantly larger portion of meat when compared to the regular option, making the upgrade less worthwhile. We also tried the Japanese sesame, ponzu, and Thai satay dipping sauces. Each complemented the hot pot ingredients well, and we were satisfied with all three selections. The service throughout our visit was attentive and responsive. Additionally, the restrooms were clean and well-maintained. Parking is free and conveniently located in front of the restaurant, which is a major plus. Overall, a pleasant dining experience with solid food, good service, and convenient amenities.

I stopped by Jazz Cat and ordered the Japanese creamy miso soup base, and I really enjoyed it. The broth was creamy, and full of flavor. It paired really well with all of the ingredients, and everything tasted good. One of my favorite parts of the experience was the pot. It was shaped like a cat paw, which was such a cute and unique touch. It made the meal even more fun and added to the whole dining experience. The restaurant had a nice atmosphere, and the food came out good. Overall, I had a great experience and would definitely come back again. The cute cat paw pot makes it even more memorable! read more
I haven't been back to jazz cat in years! There is another location in city of industry. I believe the San Gabriel one closed down. Used to go to the city of industry location more and the place was busy back then during my high school and college days! I came to jazz cat for dinner around 6 pm and there was not many people. We were seated immediately. They now have an AYCE option but we got the à la carte option instead. Service was good and attentive. The servers came to check up on us from time to time and refilled our broths without us asking. The price did increase but it is still a good option for affordable hotpot without feeling the need to purchase AYCE and the added pressure to finish so much food to avoid leftovers. Miss those days when jazz cat would be busier and you would have to wait in line to get a spot. There are too many hotpot options available now. read more
I came on a Saturday around 4 PM and there was no wait at all! I was happy there was a parking lot so parking is not an issue at all. This was an interesting shabu shabu place and we opted to not to AYCE since we weren't that hungry. Here, you pick the type of meat, then the broth, then a sauce to pair it with. I got the beef regular, japanese spicy miso and the spicy sesame. Everything was really good and I really liked my broth. I just wish this place had a sauce bar or something more customizable like other hotpot places. The beef was very tender and soaked flavor nicely. The Japanese Spicy Miso wasn't too spicy but I liked the richness of the broth. The amount of veggies was decent and they even add a little bit of noodles to it! read more

Jazz cat now has ALL YOU CAN EAT! $37.95 for dinner/premium menu Seafood add ons for $5 more I was surprised to find out they changed to ayce and had to come try for myself. Background: I had jazz cat once before and got the corn soup base set before it went ayce, enjoyed the experience and see their selling point in having unique broths, but couldn't help thinking it would be more worth to go ayce with an extra $10-20... And lo and behold, here they are! Since it's ayce, went with a safe soup base pick, the pork broth, and then ordered a bunch of meat. (You could change ur soup broth for an extra $3.) If u eat well, the soup base may lose a bit of it's flavor towards the end. The Angus beef, beef short plate, and lamb were good! Ordered the chicken once to try and it was better than expected (but still focused on beef and lamb for money worth). DON'T get the pork. I tried it so you don't have to!! It was dry and the chicken tasted better. Didn't try the seafood add on so can't speak for it. Was already getting stuffed from the reg menu. Sauce wise, I like the ones with sesame in it. Kinda wish there was a sauce bar available like how some hot pot places do it. Jazz cat gives individual portions of veggies and sides you ordered. It helps me to try more things. For the price, I do wish there were more or different "hotpot companion" such as meatballs and tofu skin to pick from. I'm not a fan of the corn kennel as it's individual pieces and will just swim around in the soup, refusing to be caught and eaten. BUT I do like corn, I think it'd just make more sense for it to be on a cob for hotpot. Lastly, gotta appreciate all the cut cat decor the restaurant has. Even soup pot holder handles are wittle cat paws! read more
It was a cold night, and I wanted some kind of soup for dinner. My boyfriend and I initially went to Boiling Point but they had a long wait so we came here instead. I was able to get on their waitlist from the Yelp app as we drove over, and we were seated almost immediately when we arrived. The front was hidden and the parking lot was cramped. You probably wouldn't find it if you weren't looking for it. If you haven't been here before, you pick your protein, soup base, and a sauce. My boyfriend ordered the Angus Beef T-Rex ($25.45) which comes with more meat, with the Japanese Miso broth and Japanese Sesame sauce, with Vermicelli (additional $1) instead of the rice. I had a Premium Pork Regular ($24.45) which comes with more veggies, with the Tomato broth and Japanese Sesame sauce with the rice it came with, and gave my boyfriend some of my rice. Sharing is caring. We also shared a side of the Golden Fish Balls ($10.50). The broth wasn't as flavorful as tomato from other shabu places I've been to, and my premium pork didn't look too premium. At least the portion was huge and we both had enough food to togo for a subsequent meal each. Service was really neglective. We asked 2 different servers for napkins and didn't get it the whole time we were there. We also had to waive someone down for the check. Not my first choice, just like how it wasn't our first choice to begin with, but it's not bad if I want quick and easy shabu where I don't have to wait. read more
Free parking in their back parking lot. The restaurant was hard to locate as it was small and not well lit outside. Decor inside was beautiful, similar to all the other Jazz Cats. It was clean and the staff were nice pleasant and attentive. We got the dinner all you can eat hot pot for $37.95 each. They had soft drinks for $2.99 with unlimited refills. $5 more per person added the seafood option, which were fish, shrimp, and squid. We thought the food was pretty standard. We really appreciated that we stayed way past closing time and the staff never said a thing. Overall, a very pleasant dining experience. read more

I was here 2 months ago that I forgot to leave a review. This place deserves less than one star! First, food is so-so, everything is soggy because they served it already cooked then they place it to the burner for it to be warm. The meat is not tender probably because it has been cooked for awhile prior to serving it to us. But since me and my friend was soo tired from workout, we would rate it as an okay meal for it's price. IT'S literal 3 small pieces of meat and some cabbages as design? We were still hungry, should've opted for the AYCE but it was not explained to us well. Anyway, we wanted more meat since 3 tiny bits of meat was not enough so we don't mind ordering more. No one was checking on us, so I went to the the front to order which is fine. But this asian lady was so rude out of nowhere????? She was like, "I TOLD YOU I TOLD YOU it's only noodles soup." At first, I took the benefit of the doubt that maybe it's just her usual tone, but she continued to disregard our request when in the first place she never explained the combos well and the AYCE. Like why can't you take our additional order This only young male server apologized to us and tried to make up for it but this lady continued to be rude to us until the end of our meal for no apparent reason. The ambiance and place is okay. I would not recommend. There are several hotpot places, it's literally sprouting hotpot restos nearby. No one deserves this unnecessary treatment. read more

I got the Taiwanese spicy soup base with Thai Satay sauce. The soup base is flavorful, has your slight numbing sense to it and the Thai satay gave the extra hit for my meats. I found the soup base good enough to where I didn't need to use the sauce too! Decent amount of meat and veggies to go along with your hot pot meal. The restaurant felt a bit stuffy and maybe even a little sticky feeling when we walked in, but I figured that's just expected being a hot pot spot. The booth seat we were directed to had dry soup splashes on it and the server immediately wiped it off for us! Overall, I felt we were tended to appropriately and enjoyed our meal here. read more

We came here on a Saturday night because we couldn't get into any other hot pot places. The menu was a bit confusing. Unfortunately, it only lets you choose one type of soup and only one type of meat. There isn't all you can eat option as well and they only let you choose one type of suit. There are other places that are either cheaper or at the same price and they let you have multiple options. We ended up settling for the set menu. However, while we were eating, we had tofu that was included and unfortunately, it smelled like dog. This ruined our dining experience for the rest of the evening.

Went to Jazzcat on a Friday night. To avoid long wait times, you can join the waitlist through Yelp. I ordered the sukiyaki broth with lamb. For the sauce, I got the Thai satay and bean curd which were both salty. The bean curd sauce tastes exactly like fermented bean curd tofu, which can be found in your local Asian store. Although the broth tasted good, it was difficult to get service with the narrow hallways. read more

Came here for the lunch special on s weekday. The price is pretty good and there was no wait. I ordered the spicy pork broth, beef, and spicy bean paste to dip. It also came with a free iced green tea, black tea, or soda. The broth was really good but the sauce was pretty salty. The rice was also really dry so I had to pour soup over it while I was eating. read more

Service was quick. Lots of broth and dipping sauce options. But I do recommend choosing the ACYE menu for larger parties. Regular menu has 5 meat options and lots of side options and noodles which i think is plenty. If you want seafood then choose the premium for an extra of 5 dollars. Our server Vincent was quick with our orders. read more

Came here on a Saturday at 4pm, it was pretty empty. I remember it used to be so busy. I'm happy I got to try their AYCE option (~$40). I got the Milky Miso Broth which had a great creamy miso flavor. My partner got the Spicy Pork Broth which was a bit bland. They have a variety of sauces, i got the spicy sesame, ponzu, sesame satay, and satay. My favorite was the sesame satay. There are 5 options for the meats: beef short plate, pork, lamb, chicken, and prime angus. We mostly got the prime angus because it was the best out of all of them. Their meats are okay quality. There are lots of veggie options. The restaurant is clean, they still have the same decor inside with the tall black booths and the far to reach stoves. Overall, I wouldn't get the AYCE option again unless they expanded their meat range, but I know they aren't as busy as before so that may be difficult. I would just get their T-REX option next time. I would love to see this place busy and thriving again. read more

Nice environment, big table, good service, I didn't have to wait for table at around 5, I ordered regular seafood combo, and they came with vegetables and rice on the side. They refilled soup when it is low boiling. The flameless oven boil the soup and ingredients quickly, which is a big plus when you have plenty to cook right away. It has a small parking lot outside. read more

Service was good. Food was pretty regular. My seafood essence soup base was good but hubby's Mongolian herbal base was kinda blah. We got the 'regular' entree and which came with more vege. The Japanese sesame sauce was the most watered down I've tried. read more

This is just their lunch deal: The $17.99 lunches was kind of disappointing. There were only 5 slices of their beef and the amount of glass noodle was pretty sad. The guy that was serving me was nice, but trying to get their attention was just difficult. The saving grace is that we can take the soup to go. I have more meat and veggies at home so imma finish it up with their soup. That and a free cup of tea. read more

I finally got the chance to try this hot spot restaurant! I recommend checking in on Yelp prior to arriving to the restaurant so your wait time is less. I came on a Friday night, and we were first on the list to be seated, but it still took about a 20 minute wait to be seated. In addition, there was another party that was seated before us which was kind of odd. Other than that, they took our order fast and the soup and toppings came out really fast too. I like this place because they're individual pots per person and you get to choose your soup base. They have over 10 soup bases to choose from, many different meats, and sauces to choose from. The booths are kind of tight if you have a party of 5-6, but when I went it was just my friend and I so we had plenty of room. The restaurant is pretty dark and the booths are high. The restaurant is narrow and feels like an endless hallway. I went ahead and tried the hot Thai soup base, beef as my choice of meat, and Japanese sesame dipping sauce. I was not a big fan of the soup base, it was really spicy and had a little bit of sour taste to it. It is not your typical Tom Yum soup base though. My friend got the Curry base and I thought that was interesting as a soup base, but I actually really enjoyed it and would come back for that. Along with your beef, or choice of meat, they give you napa cabbage, squash, bokchoy, fish ball, imitation crab, zucchini, vermicelli noodles, and a side of rice. I think the pricing is reasonable for what you get. They also offer AYCE pricing now! We were informed that is something new they started recently. read more

Tried their all you can eat. We went around lunch time for the $27 price for the regular menu the main difference we saw for regular and premium is the seafood. The servers were nice and we were seated quickly. The portions were pretty good. There is a lack of meat variety but if you just want a cheap AYCE it's a good place to go, drinks not included. One weird note is the pots are kinda hard to reach where you're seating lol but it was fine read more
