Still the best Hot Pot place in town!…read more Love the service and lots of selections of ingredients and food choices. Ambiance is nice and clean. WIll come again.

I was looking for a restaurant for our group of 8, and I thought hot pot will make things simple as…read moreeveryone can customize their own pot and I don't have to worry about what dishes to order. After reviewing a few hot pot places on Yelp, I chose Shabu King based on the positive reviews. I called to make a reservation. On the day of our visit, I was glad to find our table was ready at the appointed time. One of the staff explained that each person first pick a broth type, then you can request side dishes or type of meat(different cuts of beef, pork and there is also lamb). For vegetables and seafood, they have a bar area for each and you can pick from the generous selections of fresh seafood and vegetables. I was really impressed with the variety. For seafood, they have whole small octopus, sliced calamari, fish fillets, clams, mussels, whole large prawns, as well as small crab. They also have a condiment bar for you to make you own dipping sauce. Each person get their own pot, and we enjoyed many helpings throughout the evening. Sometimes it may be difficult to flag down a server, but when you do they are friendly and eager to take your order. I think their operation can be improved by having customers scan a bar code and order online as I have experienced in other AYCE places. Everyone in our party enjoyed their own customized hot pot, and we walked away with a very full belly. Will be back again when I have the craving for AYCE hot pot!

Why is the price tag even three $ on Yelp? It's super affordable and GREAT value.

Service is also great, zero complaints. I will go again for sure

Great classic Chinese hot pot. Almost everything was included in AYCE, including the skewers and…read morePeking duck which were great. All the hot pot ingredients were pretty good, and only thing I noticed was the sesame paste was quite thick, sometimes being hard to dip food in. Towards the end though the soup base got really salty even though we added more water to it, so I'm not sure why that is. Server was very friendly and chill, without strict rules about the AYCE. The restaurant is nice, clean, with fun decor.

I love Happy Lamb Hot Pot. This was my first time trying Happy Lamb and it was delicious…read more They offer a hot buffet of chow mein, fried rice, spring rolls, fried chicken wings and other items. They also have a cold buffet where raw veggies, noodles, seafood and eggs are available. The sauce station, soft drinks and ice cream are also self-serve. We ordered the premium option and a lamb shank. I personally enjoyed the Angus Beef, Australian Wagu, fried rice, chow mein and spring rolls, it was all amazing. Sunday afternoons are busy but the service was perfect.

AYCE lunch is a crazy deal! $25.99 per adult before 3:00pm on weekdays, unless you opt out of the…read moresauce bar which saves you $6...so you only pay $19.99. Nuts! You have 5 meats to choose from and a variety of broths. The only split pot option is for the original broth and spicy (glad we got less spicy). I personally favor the tomato broth and tom yum broth. Standards are lower since it's $19.99 AYCE, so nothing to complain about for quality of meat. The spicy beef was a popular reorder. They have a huge selection in the raw ingredient bar, and we loved the quail egg, ramen, and spongey tofu. All the veggies were fresh. Top off with soft serve (chocolate, vanilla, mixed) either in a cone or to-go cup and you basically don't even need to eat dinner. Service was speedy, and our server graciously moved us from a booth to a communal table since our party of 5 was a tight squeeze in a booth. We all shared one split pot LOL I've come here for dinner before and still thought the selections were worth their price points (classic is $33.99 and deluxe is $41.99). Your meal is free on your birthday!

It's located in the heart of downtown, so street parking is hit or miss. I lucked out with a spot right across the street. Note: they seat you once your whole party arrives, so plan accordingly if your girls run fashionably late like mine. The dining room is dim with spotlights - moody and cozy, but not ideal lighting for pics. They have an extensive martini list AND a mocktini list! I went with the Blood Orange Mocktini, rainbow sugar rim, orange garnish, super refreshing. So yums! I was on a mission for classic melted cheese, so I ordered the Italian Fontina fondue, which they make right at your table. Fontina and Romano with garlic, basil pesto, and marinara - all my favorite things in one pot! It comes with bread, fruit, and veggies for dipping. My friends went hot pot style with the Roasted Garlic broth (chicken, cajun shrimp, and spicy sausage). The broth isn't something I'd sip as soup, but everything marinating in there? Super yums. They bring all their house-made sauces to try - my favorites were the spicy BBQ and teriyaki! For dessert: Campfire Chocolate. Milk chocolate, marshmallow cream, and graham cracker crumbs with pound cake, brownies, cookie dough, funnel cake fries, and more for dipping. The reviews said come here for the chocolate fondue, and they were RIGHT. Even totally full, I'm so glad I ordered it. A sweet tooth's dream! Service was awesome - busy night, but we never felt rushed. Perfect spot to catch up with friends. Price-wise, it's a "treat yourself" or special occasion place, and I'd come back and order the exact same thing.

I liked the noodle selection since there were quite a few different kinds. We got the spicy incense pot and the classic bone soup. The spicy incense pot was too salty and could've used more chili oil. I expected a stronger numbing chili flavor too, but barely got any. The classic bone soup had good flavor, but also wished it was spicier. The service was quick. There's also a small sauce bar, which was nice, but the peanut sauce was empty. They were also very quick to clear things away and I got the impression they wanted us out ASAP so they could free up the table.

The food is very much like eating at home, and the service was friendly too. 1. First came the free Vegetables Pancake - simple with scallions and shredded carrots but very tasty. Slightly chewy but not oily. Their banchan has maybe 5 dishes but were all good. Even our 5yo son scarfed up all the pickled daikon. 2. Definitely recommend the Vegetables Gimbap for appetizer - like a sushi roll but packed with pickled veggies, tofu, and egg. 3. The Large BBQ chicken came on a sizzling plate. Chicken had a but more sauce than I'm used to, but otherwise very juicy. It also not excessively charred like other places. 4. Wife enjoyed the mild pork tofu soup with egg. Definitely eat this with rice like they do in those K-Drama shows. Parking is available in the shared lot behind the restaurant entrance. Also, to access their bathroom, you'll need to enter through the kitchen from the backdoor.
