This was probably the tastiest hot pot I've ever eaten. My partner and I got the sukiyaki broth and house spicy broth. We got the brisket, sirloin and special pork. The meat was delicious and you can tell it's higher quality. They bring out lots of veggies, dumplings fishcakes and instant ramen. The staff is attentive and kind. There were many groups that came in. It was a comfortable volume inside the restaurant with kpop playing in the background. It was just an all around good experience. read more

Great hot pot place! Decor lacking but food is spot on... Don't let the appearance scare you away stay for the experience! read more

The one thing I really wish shabu day had was more options! The food that they did have was good but it was limited so it wasn't worth the price. It would also be nice if we are able to make our own sauce like others AYCE hotpot places. It's nice that Saint Louis finally has a AYCE hotpot but I wish it comparable to other cities that I have been to. read more

Service was ok but the food was amazing the broth we got was the 1&3 they were so savory and fully of flavor! It's only all you can eat so you can order extra noodles and meat and veggies as needed. They turn the burned on and the soup vegans to boil it's very hot so be careful as it does go to boiling but turns off for a few and turns on again I guess to help the meat and veggies cook proper. read more

A fair place to get some hotpot, not many options on the menu and not really much side dishes. Also a bit on the pricey side for what you get and the service you get. Environment is alright. I think there are better options. read more

Although the outside of the building is off-putting and parking is difficult, please still come in. I was immediately seated all three tines I've been. The service was top notch when it came to beverages. Although the menu lacks a lot of options, what selections they do have are great. I personally prefer the beef brisket and premium pork. It is an AYCE style restaurant however, the pop (soda) is not included in the price, so be mindful. I will be coming back for sure. read more

Went to this restaurant last evening for the first time. It is a no-frills restaurant with decent food. My wife being a first timer with hotpot the very limited menu made it fairly simple. The downside was they provided no guidance to her on how to cook the food "for best results". While simple, she was worried about undercooking/overcooking the food. Would have been nice to have a bit more hospitality in the service. In short, mediocre at best especially for the price but I likely will not be back. read more

I've been to a couple hot pot places at this point and this place is amazing. The food comes quickly and the staff is always down to welcome people new to the experience. The restaurant feels like a hole in the wall but is a great one at that. You aren't going to get the insane variety that you get at large hot pot restaurants but the broths are great (especially spicy) and the meats and sides are brought out quickly. Don't miss on this place, it's a super good deal for what you pay for. read more

Shabu Day is a solid option for hot pot, not that there are the not many options. Ambiance is okay, not frills, very steamy. Service was good, staff were kind and food came out in a timely manner. read more

I was visiting family and was very happy either restaurants hospitality, food, its flavor and taste.

Yesterday to celebrate the spirit of the Chinese New Year, my friends and I decided to go have Hotpot. So we picked Shabu Day. The restaurant itself is very small and it attracts a lot of people. Which is great. Food: The food was a disappointment. The noodles were basically cheap instant noodles anyone can buy at the dollar store, or at Schnucks, Dierbergs Or any Chinese market at $2. Seriously, i was disappointed. The hotpot cosiste of some sliced meats and some vegetables and broth served with instant noodles, that's it. Do yourself a favor, go to the Dollar store buy a pack of instant noodles and make that at home. Service: was ok Ambience: I loved seeing different people in the restaurant, different cultures/ethnicity coming to eat HotPot, wow, that was great. Cleanliness: ok Conclusion: I am not sure I'd go back again to eat a few less than mediocre vegetables with sliced/shaved meats and instant noodles. I loved the experience and the idea, that's why it gets a 2 rating. For everything else a ZERO is too much read more

Pretty authentic hot pot. We had 5 adults and the two portions of food that came out was plenty. We went at 5pm so the sun was pouring in which made the place so hot! I'd recommend either more blinds or air conditioning since so many pots of boiling broth are around. All in all I'd recommend. read more

this is probably the worst restaurant I have ever been, and I have been to a lot! The set up is wrong, the flavor is wrong, the meat cut is wrong! Nothing about this place is about an authentic shabu restaurant. Here are some major issues (I can list 100 of them) Food - the soup is not made from pork bones, and kunbu; the meat is cut too thick and wrong cut; there is no seasoning, no garlic, no sesame paste, nothing; Set up - there is no ventilation system for hot pot (should be one on each pot); all season bottles leak; the bathroom is filthy! I paid $200 for my family when we visited STL thinking that it would be similar shabu places as in our home back to Southern California. We were so wrong! My kids requested PB sandwiches right after. if you want to know what real Shabu looks like, Google shabu works San Diego, or MO MO paradise LA. if you want to know Shabu con artist, you can go to this place. read more

Service was fast and efficient and polite but the food was the stand out. It was delicious.

If you're looking for an authentic Asian hot pot, this is not the place to go. I believe it is Indian owned or operated. I did have high hopes however because I love when different cultures can master foods of opposite ones. While the service was great (hence my 3 star review) and the broth was good enough, I've had much better hot pots. Surprisingly, the best I had was a Sihuan hot pot in Nashville, so I've been comparing all to that experience. Now the restaurant's name does suggest that is is a Japanese hot pot (shabu shabu), so I will say that the spicy broth reminded me of a miso base. They served the meat and veggies (which were both adequate and fresh) with noodles like chicken dumplings (tasty) and dried ramen. The later was disappointing, but my kids loved it! Another reviewer loved their sauces, so I was excited to taste them. They didn't seem to be anything I couldn't find in an average Asian grocery store (sambal, ponzu, etc). I don't think I'll return, but the restaurant was clean, staff was friendly. read more

GOOD FOOD. TASTY. LOTS. EAT HERE. Service was great, very nice. Ambiance was warm and welcoming.

It's ok not the best, don't really like the broth they offer, and the meat is not the best but will get the job done, noodles are kinda nasty. read more

Food is pretty good but need more variety of veggies in my opinion but service and everything was really great

We randomly found this place and it was fantastic! Simple menu, delicious broth! They were very friendly service! They offered more to eat but we had our fill with the first course. read more

Delicious hotpot! Loved that it was all you could eat. I recommend getting the Beef sirloin and the pork tenderloin. It was so great when it wasn't fatty and it cooked a lot more evenly! They brought us a huge bowl of sides and some potstickers. There was K-Pop music videos playing in the background and many locals were in the store. The music was great and my friend really loved it. A calm, upbeat and lightly chatty aura. Only thing that was weird was that the store had a really awful smell when we first walked in. But we loved the spicy broth and the beef short rib broth! Recommended it to friends :) read more

the service is the worst in the world !!! don't get me wrong the food AMAZING but when it comes to answering the phone or website hrs and prices it's BAD I mean not just bad but a 1out of 10 if they could just get their service down, they probably be in the top 10 places to go in St. Louis, but unfortunately, the service there is the worst place in saint louis !!! waff house has them beat read more

This was is fantastic! So authentic. You will not leave hungry. Veggies, noodles and meat what more do you need. The staff is attentive and the atmosphere is lively. Great place for a date or a group. Definitely will be coming back. read more

Good food and great service. Server was excellent with giving us instructions on how to cook the food properly.

This is a relatively new AYCE shabu restaurant on olive! Walked in on a Friday evening around 6 pm and were seated immediately. The waiters are all very nice and you can tell they work hard to run a busy dinner service Veggies: bok choy, cabbage, king oyster mushrooms - all very fresh and delicious Meat: the beef brisket and special pork are the best meats - they're more fatty and tender after being cooked in the broth. All the meat was fresh and did not have freezer burn Extras: korean dumplings (Mandu) and fish tofu and ramen- just average but nice to have variety Broth: we ordered the sukiyaki broth and house spicy. The flavor profiles are more similar to Japanese/Korean shabu (lighter flavors) as opposed to Chinese hotpot. Enjoyed both broths Sauces: house spicy is like a sriracha flavored sauce, sukiyaki is a sweet sauce and house sauce is soy based. They don't have sesame paste or other sauces like you would find at a Chinese hotpot restaurant At the time of this review, the restaurant is working on getting a liquor license, so for now they are BYOB Overall, eating here was an enjoyable experience and all the food was solid. I would have enjoyed more variety in veggie offerings (Ex enoki mushrooms) and sauce options. Another thing they could improve on that I've seen other hotpot restaurants do, is refilling the broth after a while because it does evaporate eventually and the broth levels get lower Excited to see this restaurant grow and for more people to discover it! read more

I've been to a few other shabu places and this definitely ranks on the bottom of my list. Service was fine. There was really no ambiance to speak of. It was incredibly hot due to the lack of vents. They had to plug in fans throughout the restaurant to keep the air circulating. Options were incredibly limited but the portion sizes were larger than anything I've seen before (although it is all you can eat). read more

Food was great, it was fun to chat and cook at the same time! All you can eat is nice . $27 pp is good price even you don't eat a lot. Fun dinner and service was friendly and great. read more

Food was ok. Broth was a bit bland and not spicy. They don't have tofu. Bathroom was disturbing and disgusting.

Went here based off the reviews, but it's a no! Picked the sweet and beef broths and pork and beef sirloin as meats. Do not expect to come here and expect the food to taste like it's been seasoned to the gods. I understand broth meals, but it barely tasted like anything. The sticky rice was so sticky that it got caught in my throat. Also, there was NO A/C! That's a no if you got pots boiling on tables. They tried with fans, but no. Also, there were a lot of flies. Had to put napkins over the raw meat that was on the plate. The only thing okay about this place was the service. read more

A wonderful experience! We walked in without a reservation and they accommodated us. So much fun cooking our beef and pork meats in two kinds of broth. Service was spot on. No liquor license but that wasn't a big deal. I can't wait to bring my other friends here! read more

Amazing food amazing concept . Service was phenomenal it's a must try you won't be disappointed read more

Very good, quality over quantity vibes. Very nice waiter. I wish there was more variety on the options, consider adding an area for the all you can eat buffet so the waiters can more focus on other tasks. The broth was like no other, never change it it is perfection. read more

Shabu Day - Hotpot - Korean Near Me - St. Louis, Missouri

This place is amazing!!! Cannot get enough The portions are great, the food is delicious. We've tried all 3 broths and they were all 10/10. The staff is super nice and accommodating Service is always prompt The ambiance is fine - it's a family restaurant but it's still very open and inviting read more

Excellent All-You-Can-Eat Shabu Shabu! The place was filled both times we went when visiting St. Louis this past week! We don't eat pork, so their beef broth options were nice to see! Super nice employees who were on top of things! It's a small restaurant so it was a little steamy inside (that is to be expected with 20 pots of boiling broth LOL) but they had fans going that helped tremendously! Definitely put Shabu Day on your list of places to eat when visiting St. Louis! read more

service is fantastic and food is great all employees are nice and welcoming and very diverse thats my favorite part! read more

Highly recommend Shabu Day!! Grate food with good price. Definitely will come back again!!

I've heard a lot about this place and let me tell you, it's an experience! I came into it totally blind and at first it's a bit daunting but really it's just all about having fun. Throw your favorite stuff in a hot broth and eat it. Great experience! read more

Service is slow but the food is great! Doesn't look that appealing when you walk in but the food is well worth it. Loved the dumplings!

We went there back in may and everything was so good, the soup and the food, staffs are amazing. And I went back again today at 8:50pm, one of the staff said they're not taking any walking table even the store close at 10pm. The moment I walked out I called the restaurant and ask about the last waking customer's time. He said they're taking from 8:30 until 9pm is the last hour walking. I'm not quite sure about what's going on with the policy. read more

Quite a busy place. I would recommend a reservation if you have your heart set on dining here. We arrived at 6 and were seated fairly quickly only to others abandoning the wait. Food came very quickly. Excellent broths and meat. This is one of those restaurants where it's a limited menu, but what they have, they do really well. It's a pretty loud place when full, but pleasant still. read more
