Came here for an early dinner during happy hour (before 5pm) and had a great experience! During…read morehappy hour they have a set menu which comes with your selection of certain cuts of meat, along with vegetables and either rice/noodles. I opted to get the flat iron beef with pork broth which was delicious. The happy hour set is a great value IMO - portion sizes were great and left us feeling full without being overly stuffed. You also get access to the sauce/buffet bar as well as ice cream at the end of the meal. As the Dolar Shop is what I consider to be a more upscale hot pot place, you can usually expect the food, service, and ambiance to be great here. It does get busy here (especially on weekends), so be prepared to wait even if you come during off hours. We had a short wait even coming at 4:30pm on a weekday.

The Dolar Shop is a good hotpot spot mainly because the quality of food and taste. It is quite…read moreexpensive but worth it. At the Dolar Shop, you get a choice of your own broth which is only shared individually. They do have a choice of multiple. I personally chose the tomato broth, which is one of my favorites. I came originally for a reservation at 8:45 pm, but my boyfriend and I wanted to do happy hour so we can have more choices since it was closer to closing. We ended up waiting a few for minutes for this deal. We got a variety of meat, seafood, and vegetables. They were all of good quality, I especially liked the seafood. One thing I would note is the lack of noodles. Personally I like have noodles with my hotpot and Dolar Shop only had one type of noodle. Other than that, the Dolar Shop also had a dessert bar and appetizer bar. I enjoyed the dessert bar along with the ice cream you get at the end of your meal. Overall, I'd probably come again, but I definitely would like more noodle choices in the future.

To make matters worse, no one mentioned that the sauce bar would be charged separately--it just showed up on the bill. The ice cream machine was also constantly having issues, and even the ordering pads didn't work properly sometimes, which made the whole process frustrating and inconvenient. Overall, poor service, lack of transparency, and equipment problems made this a place I won't be coming back to.

They were celebrating their 8th anniversary with some Anniversary specials, so my husband and I ordered the premium Wagyu combo which came with an appetizer, sparkling wine (we opted for just regular drink) and bonus Yuzu sherbet dessert for our anniversary. I got the American Wagyu and husband got the A5 Japanese cut. Both soooo delicious, light and very good quality. The selections and portions were more than enough for us and our Dads. We also got the Happy Hour Sake Sampler set for $20 which was tasty as well. The server and workers there were so amazing. Friendly and came by our table numerous times to make sure we were ok. Took pictures for us and just great all around. This was my 2nd time at this location and I know I'll be back more times again. We loved that it wasn't as crowded as dinner hours. It's one of very few hot pot spots where you get your own pot so you can enjoy it the way you like it...Such a lovely spot, a hidden gem in Bellevue. MUST GO FOR SURE.

I visited Shabu Shabu Kyoto for a weekend dinner. Parking was very easy as there a bunch of other…read morerestaurants in the area. Although it was pretty busy inside, we were able to be seated in about 10 minutes, which was great for a last minute decision for Shabu Shabu. I haven't done many Shabu Shabu places, but this one is a bit different since you get a set of vegetables and meat rather than ordering multiple rounds. The quality of the meat and vegetables, in my opinion, was much higher compared to those places where you're able to get multiple rounds of meat or select your own vegetables/sides. The broth (I had kombu) was pretty light, so it wasn't the best. The service was pretty friendly and the only fault to them was they didn't come around to refill our pots with hot water. I enjoyed dinner here and would definitely come back again. The quality of the food, the calm restaurant atmosphere, and the polite staff made it an enjoyable experience.

We have tried other places but we keep coming back to shaburina because the service is always amazing and the food is great. They have added tablets at every table to order food, drinks, or refills. It's super easy to use and definitely a game changer. Only sad part is they now serve ice cream in a disposable cup rather than a cone. I hope they were just out of cones and this isn't a permanent change.

I'm torn between a 3 & 4 because the food is always good…read more We frequent often and love the food and have never had bad service until the night that mattered. My son graduated and I made reservations here in advance and called to ask about a table for 10, and if they could accommodate us and they said they could. Great! And I separately called about wanting to bring cupcakes and if that was allowed and they were cool with that, so super! It is one of my son's favorite spots so when the evening arrived, we got to the restaurant only to be led to a table that seated 6 in one corner and 4 kitty corner from that table. So...a family gathering had to be split, with 4 of us not even being at the same table as my son-including me. Mom. And in order to be close to him I sat with my back turned from him. Not ideal at all. So I was definitely miffed by this. I approached someone about it-not sure if he's the manager or not but he was very apologetic about it and said that they don't have seating for 10 at one table. But they tried their best by putting us all in the corner together. Not the same thing unfortunately as we could not all celebrate or converse all together. I told him that I had called specifically asking if they could accommodate 10 and I was assured they could but I did not know I had to ask "at the same table?". They should have been forthcoming that it would be at two different tables otherwise I would have made a reservation elsewhere for the celebration. What could I do but just accept his apology? But then, with a party of 10, I would think we would get extra attention but I guess since tip is already included after 5 in a party, they just called it in because I had to ask for more plates, more napkins, spoons, & water because the setting at the table was for 2, and we had 4. No one even asked us if we needed any more broth nor did they ever come to ask if anyone wanted a refill of the AYCE meats. Not that we could eat anymore but no one even offered. And, since everyone had to order the same meat plates, and one person wanted the wagyu, we all had to get wagyu at our table. Doesn't seem fair to me especially when they don't even offer more but I guess that's policy. When my son and I come in by ourselves, they are very attentive and always ask us if we need more of anything. But it was hard to find anyone to come to our table. They never checked on us after they brought the broth and meats the one time. So let me say I was very upset that the tip was included because really, no one served us unless we asked for more things. No one checked on us. Then I had to go and find someone so we could pay our bill. They apologized again for not seating us together but what could I say at that point? I'm not going to make a scene but it ruined a special night when all of the family couldn't sit together. Very disappointed with this visit especially when it's one of our fave places and we frequent it often and spent a good amount of $ that night with 10 people.
