    Veggies and side options.
    Paul S.

    After my absolute favorite restaurant, Frice, closed in the spring I've been wandering to find a suitable replacement for the true Szchuan experience. Shabu House is located in the same shopping center near UCR as Frice was, so that's a good start. Even better, they have some comparable, if different takes on old favorites, such as fried pork ribs with spicy peppers and Szchuan peppercorns, and braised ribs. I've only just begun to explore the menu here but so far it's been good for both service and output. The gyozas are freshly made and the ribs were tender, although I'd like to see them cut in half, or even thirds for easier to eat portions nonetheless, the quality I'd here and adjusting to the differences will take more visits.

    Beef

    Not really shabu lol, more like just hot pot with bland meat and veggies. Hopefully only when we went it was bland, but in general it was bland, the place is not very big so not worth the wait, there's other places to eat lol.. pricing is eh I guess, again not really worth your try lol.

    Beef sukiyaki
    Cindy Y.

    Came to Shabu house in a big group to celebrate my sisters birthday. Feels like the prices in Riverside are a bit cheaper than la, which is a good thing! Only thing is I ordered the beef sukiyaki little spicy and it turned out to be very spicy I should've been aware that in Asian restaurants little spicy can mean pretty spicy. Price was reasonable 16.99 for a hot boiling soup with fire underneath. It had fishball, sticky rice, noodles, beef, cabbage, tomato a whole variety. I would come back here but never any bit of spice in it. The soup flavor was good if only there wasn't spice in it. This Resturant has a whole variety of Asian dishes from hot pot, sushi, noodles, different Chinese side dishes.

    Curry soup with tofu, beef, veggies and seafood
    Kimberly R.

    Extensive menu for anyone to enjoy. Their curry soup was delicious and filling. The sushi was fresh and flavorful, the beef and broccoli was also really good with crunchy broccoli, savory sauce and tender beef. Definitely recommend! Staff was very attentive and friendly. Their menu is by QR code so keep that in mind. You order and pay through the QR code as well.

    Lamb pot
    Daniel C.

    Shabu House definitely was deceiving when it comes to shabu. We were craving some shabu shabu and our normal go to was closed so we tried this spot out. We arrived and were told to sit wherever and scan to order. We chose the beef pot and lamb pot, the food came fairly quick. The pots looked ok until I tasted my broth. The lamb broth tasted like powdered bone broth soup with ham steeped in it......as I dug more into the bowl, I found chunks of ham. This gave the bowl the flavor of a leftover Thanksgiving meal. The beef bowl had more of a curry flavor and ham in it as well. They also do not have dipping sauces. Both beef and lamb were quite chewy. For a place called shabu house this was a total fumble. People seem to like their Chinese food. I wont be back to check that out though.

    Spicy beef hot pot and Mexican sushi roll
    Arielle H.

    Shabu House has a large variety of food. I couldn't pin point exactly what style of asian food this fall under but they have hot pot, sushi and your regular asian dishes like stir fried green beans, orange chicken, beef fried noodles, etc. I love hot pot so I was excited to try it. I ordered the beef sukiyaki pot. The size is similar to most hot pot places, but I felt there was a lot of veggies vs anything else in the pot. The flavor was okay and the sauces lacked. I wouldn't come back for the hot pot if I had other choices in the area. My friend ordered 2 sushi rolls and they looked really good. I would try the sushi rolls next time. I ordered orange chicken to go for my husband. I assumed white rice would come with the entree, but it did not! I was honestly very surprised as I thought that was a given.

    Kimchi
    Kim H.

    NEW SHABU HOUSE IN THE VILLAGE! Food: Right of the bat I will give this place a 10/10 on food. Each soup is $15.99 and a huge portion. My miso soup was amazing and filling and had a paste to go with it to add flavor. The kimchi soup was the right amount of spice and also very filling. Overall the price point is very solid. Service was great, they were attentive and kind. Located in the village great place for a quick bite, dessert, and a drink afterwards. Overall eating 8.5/10

    Expired ginger and old avocado.

    Just got sushi to go and I was very disappointed. The California roll sushi wasn't the best at all, the avocado was bad already and had mold. And the ginger was expired as well. Not to mention they answered the tip without telling me and didn't want to give me the receipt. One thing for sure is I'm never going there.

    Sauces (sesame sauce, sha cha, hot chili sauce, vinegar, soy sauce)
    Lisa C.

    3.5 rounded up as I think it probably deserves another shot and the cons were not terrible all around. Pros -contrary to a different review, the beef sukiyaki (ordered it at level "spicy") is extremely flavorful. -does have a variety of sauces - I liked the portions to cost level plus the beef brisket was great - probably one of the few places that have the soup over flame brought to your table (the other being ten ren) in this area. If I had to compare to ten ren, I think this is much better for what you pay for. Cons - for me, mine was rather salty. I definitely wouldn't recommend my particular order for those with high blood pressure and probably should order it less salty. It could be that the hot sauce used to make it spicy is also salted. Either way, it was one of the rare times I didn't finish the soup. - I think the menu is a bit strange to be honest - for example, the lamb comes with mussel. The beef sukiyaki comes with fish, fish tofu, and fish balls. They probably should allow for a dish that is completely no seafood for the people who dislike it. - sesame sauce was oddly thick in consistency but tasted fine. - it's too strong in flavors in a way - not really much room to use the sauces. For the salt level of my sauce, the best one was sesame sauce as it didn't add too much salt to it and can still taste it. - extremely minor con is that the name doesn't match the food - this isn't shabu shabu. They serve some pre-made soups similar to boiling point and sushi. As much as there were cons, I did like the food and wouldn't mind trying it again to see if maybe it was a fluke in saltiness given other reviews. I do hope to support the restaurant since there really isn't an option like it (ten ren is more "fast food" ish).

    Philadelphia roll
    Stephanie P.

    Stumbled upon Shabu House and was pleasantly surprised! The prices are very fair for their portion size and would even say they give a generous amount of meat. I'comparison to other hot pot places in the area, I think the price and overall taste of the meal is very solid. I'd definitely recommend giving this place a try! I would recommend getting the lamb sukiyaki! The sauces were a nice addition and compliment the meal. I personally liked the chili oil and shacha sauce. Staff was very friendly and attentive; and food is served quickly. The restaurant is a casual sit down and you can order your food directly from your phone!

The texture of the salmon was melt in you mouth. I totally forgot the names of the items I got but the salmon rolled crab meat was my favorite along with the Salmon belly. the sushi roll i got was recommended by our waitress it was good although I wished that they had used a little less i'm assuming sesame oil in the sauce because the flavor of peanut was a bit overwhelming and overshadowed the flavor from the Salmon and Tuna :/ . Overall I would recommend trying, you might meet some cool people. That was honestly the highlight of my experience. The sushi was good too. I would try them again. I would say 3.8/5 stars

They were really accommodating for the little toddlers and babies in our group too. We started with the mussels which were delicious! I usually don't like shellfish but they were great. They had a specials menu that featured Kuushi oysters from Washington - we didn't get them but seeing them on the menu was a surprise because those are usually high quality oysters. I got the chicken teriyaki bento set which is about $24 and came with so much food - miso plus salad plus a half California or spicy tuna roll plus 4-piece veggie tempura. Everything was perfect in terms of portion size, temperature, taste and texture. Even my niece who is a pickly toddler ate and enjoyed a california rol. Everyone in our group loved their sushi. Everything was presented very beautifully and the fish was all fresh. The rice to fish and filling ratio was perfect, no too much rice. We ended our meal with a fried green tea ice cream which was fantastic and perfect to split amongst the four of us after all the delicious food before it. We met the owner who was a really nice guy too. Really surprised to find a solid sushi spot in the middle of the Riverside. I would not mind returning here anytime I'm back in the area!

I ordered the beef ramen, and the flavor was great. The beef tasted really good, and the broth had nice depth. I do wish they offered more condiments on the table so you can adjust the broth to your liking--spicy, savory, etc. My food took a little while to come out, but it ended up being worth the wait. The price was also a big plus: $13.99 for a bowl of ramen, a sushi roll, and a drink is a great deal. My wife ordered two rolls--the Salmon on Fire and the Caterpillar Roll. Both were tasty and comparable to what we've had at other sushi spots. We also tried the gyozas, which were average. Customer service could use some improvement. Our waitress wasn't rude, but she seemed rushed and tried to take our order almost immediately after we sat down. Since it was our first time, we needed a moment to look over the menu. Overall, the food and value were solid, but the service and small details could be better. I'd rate Sushi R 91 a 3.5 out of 5.
