Out of all the places where you can get all you can eat hot pot, this one takes the cake! If you don't like how it tasted it's because of you!!! Lol you're the one putting together everything for yourself and cooking it, If you don't know what you like, try something new. There are so many options to get with the sauces and I firmly believe they have the best sauce options. All of them are so good. The people here are pretty chill and when you order the meat you order it in rounds of 4 usually. It's all you can eat, so make sure you're eating what you can finish and not just eating with your eyes! They also have a fee if you get too much and don't finish. Know how to pace yourself well and you should be totally fine. If you end up not liking it, try again and get something new! You can't blame a place that gives you this amount of options and say it wasn't good, the taste of everything comes down to you and how you cook it lol This is the place I go to when someone from out of town is coming in! read more

Food was served fast, but service from hostess to waitress all looked and acted like someone forced them to go to work, they're so rude and literally talked bad with each others in front of my family, they even know that we're viet but they still talked shit in Vietnamese just like they dont care! Its not the first time ive been here, but the quality of service really disappointed me, we treated them good but the way we got treat back is ridiculous. read more

Food is very good. The hosts are friendly.love the vibes and food super nice people well over my expectations.

It was 101 yesterday in Houston, the thought of going to have hot pot made my husband think I was crazy (I am). It was our first time, it won't be our last. He admitted it was a wonderful experience. The first thing the staff told us was to start by cooking our seafood. We had blue crabs, whole shrimps eyeballs and all, scallops, mussels and catfish. The broth came ice cold and as it comes to a boil the seafood cooks. Then you go to select your other ingredients, I went a little crazy with the tofu and different kinds of mushrooms. It all was so fresh and tasty. There are 11 different kinds of meats to select and all of them are all you can eat and great quality. We ended our meal poaching an egg in our remaining broth and noodles which we saved to cook last so we wouldn't get too full on just noodles. Shabu Zone staff is wonderful, great customer service, extremely helpful and friendly. They walked us through every step and for that we are grateful. We don't live in Houston but will come back to the zone whenever we come back.

Shabu Zone - Cooking the seafood... - Hot Pot Near Me - Houston, Texas

THIS PLACE WAS SO AWESOME!!!!! This is one of my new favorite spots in Houston and I will definitely be trying to come here every time I visit. First of all, $30 AYCE is SOOO worth!! The meat quality was really good despite being AYCE, too! The bar for sides is also super stacked with lots of yummy stuff, and the sauce bar has SOO much yo really curate a flavor to your own tastes. The server was really nice too! I could imagine his stress due to how busy the place was but it didn't stop him from being so friendly and attentive. I wish I remembered his name so I could include how much I appreciated his service here! Our plates were collected as soon as they emptied and we were always asked if we needed more meat at the perfect times. I was super pleased. The restaurant itself though felt a little cluttered with how the tables were organized. Felt quite packed and close together. Wasn't too much of a problem for me, but I could see it being a problem for larger families with smaller children and those who are needing more accessibility. I went on a Saturday evening, and it was SOOO extremely busy. If you go during a busy time, be prepared to wait a LONG time. I had an approximate 1-2 hour wait, and was able to get seated after almost an hour and a half later. I didn't mind since there were plenty of shops nearby to pass the time with, though. I think it was worth and I'd do it again, but it IS a lot. read more

The service was amazing and very friendly. The menu options were extensive and they had meat quality. All of the side were delicious and it is very worth the price race for AYE! The establishment was also very clean and chill with great parking options. read more

Excellent Hot Pot!!! Best in Houston!!! Our favorite Hot Pot restaurant!! They have so much business the food turnover is fast and always fresh. The wagyu and steak is always cut perfectly and is high quality! The service and staff are always fast, friendly and make the customers feel special!! The restaurant is large and not jam packed and is always impeccably clean!! read more

Visited yesterday evening it was very crowded but we were seated right away. Service was fast and attentive. I got spicy broth but it wasn't that spicy to me but good flavor. We got a variety of beef, pork, scallops, shrimp, calamari, noodles, and veg. Highly recommend, definitely will be back! read more

Shabu Zone is my favorite AYCE hot pot in Houston! They have fast friendly service & their buffet is always stocked and clean! I normally go for their tonkotsu or basic soup base. As for meat their number 11 & 5 is literally all I eat (just preference, but all other meat is good too!) I really enjoy their seafood options as well, such as their oysters, shrimp, clams, & fish. They recently added cooked bulgogi that you can order (included in ayce) and it's a new fav! Plus they have a dessert bar and ice cream! I also appreciate the variety of flavored ice cream, the green tea and red bean is a must try! read more

My friends and I waited an hour on a Saturday night for dinner. The front counter was a hot mess so I really felt for them. We had a party of 9 and they said if we wanted, we could sit at an 8 seat table but one person would have to share the hot pot with someone else (we asked if that would be discounted since this place does individual pots and they said no) - we declined and decided to wait longer for two tables. After we sat, service was great. Our guy had an excellent memory and remembered all the meats we wanted and all our soup bases to refill. Dinner is $31.99 and lunch is $21.99 which isn't bad at all. They had a meat menu, buffet line for veggies and seafood, sauce bar, and dessert/ice cream line. read more

Been here twice so far, this was also my first hot pot experience. I definitely enjoyed my experience a lot better the second time. They have tons of veggie and pasta options, which is great if you're gluten free or vegan. Their selection of meat is also pretty good. It's definitely worth the price too. I've only gone during lunch. Service is okay, I've experienced better, but it wouldn't keep me from going again. read more

I solo dined today since I just moved from NY to Texas. Was craving some soupy goodness. Found this gem on Yelp and decided why the heck not. They are very prepped for this pandemic. Check your temperature upon walking in through the door, and they give you gloves for when you go to collect the food. That's pretty dope. I had two ladies checking in on me everytime. Never had two servers, but this was kind of cool since they were so nice and made sure I was okay and drink was always refilled. They could use a lot more different items on their menu, but I was really satisfied with what I had chosen. I do recommend it here. Shoot, if you go, invite me too. I'm always down for Shabu Shabu or Hot Pot. And since my OG description in what's in the photo was too long I'll put it in the review. Bottom Left: Bak Choy, Spinach, Pickled Radishes, Onion, Cilantro, Green Onion. Top Left: Wood Ear Mushrooms, Fish Tofu, Short Neck Clams, Fish Fillets, Meatballs, Squid, Enoki Mushrooms, Bunapi Mushrooms, Taro.

Shabu Zone - Hot Pot Near Me - Houston, Texas

I really liked this place. This was my first time at all you can eat hotpot. I was initially a bit skeptic as it might seem expensive for a vegetarian person but then I learnt they have a veggie all you can eat pricing as well, so it was much cheaper than the meat option. There are 2 veggie broth options and then you need to refill your plates yourself from the veggie counter and make your sauce too. Few things that made me happy was varieties of mushrooms, veggie dumplings, corns and veggies, I only wish if there were more tofu options. Right now they have fresh tofu, but I wish if they also had fried tofu, or other options in it like soy protein or fake meat. They also had a couple of dessert options and I got mango and matcha icecream. Nevertheless they say there is a 2 hour limit for each group, but we were there for almost an hour 45 mins and they still weren't trying to push us out. read more

My family loves this place which is how I got introduced to it. If you don't go at opening, there will be a long line very soon after so I suggest going at opening. The staff work together and are always friendly. The sitting area is spacious and comfortable. The line formation can be chaotic since there is no guided direction. I didn't enjoy the food as much on my first try but it was most likely because I expected cooked food items too but everything required boiling in the hot pot. It wasn't many kid friendly simple food options that didn't require cooking. After a few visits, I was able to get used to their menu items and found some fav items but still felt somewhat limited compared to other places. It is an awesome deal that the meat is unlimited. The ice cream options are unique such as red bean and green tea which are some of my favs to combine with coffee. They also offer gummy bears at the dessert station. Their spicy broth isn't that spicy but still good overall. Plenty of parking since it is located in the Hong Kong Mall plaza area. read more

Tried Shaba Zone for the first time since I was in the area. Everything was good, the spicy broth was not really spicy, just ok. Plenty of variety for everyone. The shrimp was head on and huge, cleaned pretty much. I had a pot and a half of broth with plenty of vegetables and only two meats for flavor. It was worth the price of $21.99 for lunch. They had honeydew melon and watermelon for fruit choices, and 6 flavors of ice cream for dessert. I would recommend coming here if you like to eat. Our servers were all great and very attentive. The only thing I didn't understand was why the tip was picked up by someone else and taken to the register instead of our server who earned it and took care of us. When we were getting ready to leave there was a line out the door and it was just a little after 1 pm. Very busy place. Nice decor, clean and everyone is on the ball keeping it ready to fill. read more

I have been in awe of this place since my sorority sister brought me here for lunch a couple months ago. We have been back 3 times since then and the waiter remembers me and my meat selections each time, it's awesome! You select your style of broth and they put it in the hot pot at your seat. You go up to the buffet for seafood, veggies and sauces and the waiters bring you plates of thinly sliced high quality meats. I highly suggest IT ALL, but my favs are 5, 6 and 11 :) They have quick service and a nice selection, great ambiance and great food! read more

It's AYCE hotpot and the service is so fast! Wide variety of meat/veggie toppings! All variety of dumplings and hotpot balls. Great side dishes but the sauce station is limited. Highly recommend if you're craving hotpot! read more

Solid spot for AYCE hot pot except for the heavy amount of MSG in the broth. They have a variety of meats, toppings, dipping sauces, and last but not least pickled vegetables which I think set them apart from other restaurants. Really enjoy the wide range of seafood offered, including clams, oysters, snails, and crabs. The ice cream section for dessert is also a plus. Sadly, one big downside for Shabu Zone is that their broth contains way too much MSG, and this has been a constant problem. I always leave the restaurant with a parched mouth that lasts until the next day. read more

Shabu Zone - Hot Pot Near Me - Houston, Texas

On a cool autumn day Shabu is a fine place to be. This all you can "hot pot" place has loads of delightful tasty bites for your palate. There is a variety of meats ,and fish items. For starters there are oysters, crabs, quid, fish,, two types of shrimp, and this is on the bar which has heaps of relishes, Kim chi, and greens. On the self serve bar you have basic sari chi, spicy and regular Ponzi sauces, fish sauce, sesame oil, vinegar, and soy. But wait did I tell you the options for sauces, such as sesame seed, coconut sesame seed, there are too many to name. At your table you can choose from wagyu beef, pork belly, rib and chuck sliced super thin to cook quickly in the flavored broth. The waiters are attentive and helpful. They give suggestions. A place where you will not be disappointed! read more

Phenomenal food, lots to choose from, great service, super clean environment. Highly recommended!

I am so impressed by this place: great selections of fresh and delicious ingredients (king shrimps, oysters, meat No.11 beef belly, mango ice cream are my favorite), flavorful sauces (ask the server to make it for you or try the sesame sauce...it's a bomb ), and super star service (so welcomed, patient and attentive). I left the restaurant with happy tummy and satisfied mood). Can't wait to come back in the next trip. We have been at a lot of restaurants like this from California, Houston and DFW, this place is a must if you visit Houston! Great good, amazing service and good price Plus: I appreciate that they take customers health seriously by checking temperature, wearing masks, customers need to wear the gloves and masks to pick up food. The restaurant is very clean and nice read more

Of all the AYCE shabu's I've tried, never have I ever experienced one where I could serve myself plates full of dumplings, shrimp balls, fish balls, tofu, shrimp, and ALLLLLL of the variety of mushrooms and veggies. My heart and my belly were so full after eating here! Favorite meat choices: wagyu everything The sirloin is the one I'd stay away from, it was tough after cooking. But everything else was excellent. The serve yourself ice cream was a great dessert too. Well worth the price! Come with an appetite. read more

Pretty popular hot pot place in bellaire. AYCE type of place, pretty simple to order here. Inside is pretty spacious. Service is not bad at all considering I came on a busy Friday. We had a party of 6 and waited about 45 min ish to get seated. Right when we sat down the server took our order immediately. They were very attentive and meats came out super quick every time. Had a good experience here and will definitely be coming back if I'm in the mood for AYCE hotpot They do have ice cream you can get at the end of your meal. Flavors: vanilla Chocolate Coffee Mango Green tea Strawberry read more

A pretty good AYCE shabu place in Houston! It was very busy when we came for dinner but our group of 3 got seated right away. You have about 6 options for the broth and get to order a total of 6 meats at a time for the table. Personally I enjoyed the cuts of meat they offered. Lots of options for the veggies, seafood, and sauces. I got the spicy house soup which was very bland in my opinion. Having the unlimited sauce bar helps. I seasoned the broth to my liking and enjoyed the meal. Service is okay at most. Because they're so busy and you don't have one singular server, you'll have to flag someone down. Might not always be successful but they're on top of it when you get their attention. Would definitely come back here, it's pretty good food at a decent AYCE price ($31.99 per person for dinner) read more

Pros: - Large place, even if it looks like a long wait, you'll be seated fairly quickly. - Lots of wagyu options for ayce for under $30 what a steal! - clean and spacious that can host big groups. Cons: - parking can be bad on weekends - hardly serviced, they forgot stuff we ordered. - never got refilled on drinks - most of the seafood were previously frozen - broth were all extremely bland, but that's how shabu is. Since shabu is known for their subtle broths, it really rely on the sauce bar to bring the flavors and the quality meats. Meat was definitely quality, but seafood were all frozen. Sauce bar seems to have more mayo based-Americanized sauces, so we weren't a big fan of that. read more

shabu zone is my go-to hotpot spot in Bellaire. They have a large selection of items that most places cant compete with. I love the selections of meats, noodles, sauces, side dishes, etc. They're usually pretty busy whenever I go but since the restaurant is so big, I feel like the line moves pretty quick. Their staff are efficient of getting customers items ordered so you might not have a single server designated for your table but that's why the service is so quick! One thing I would note is to make sure that you're cooking your seafood thoroughly. I have known people that have gotten sick due to their seafood so I would be cautious about that. read more

Up until now, I have only had hot pot once in my life and that was in a high end restaurant in Vegas. I thought it would be hard to top that experience, but Shabu Zone came very close and for a fraction of the price. This was my second attempt coming here actually. The first time was a cold, Friday night and there was no end in sight for us to be seated so we left. This time was a cold, Thursday night and we were basically seated right away even though we were a party of 11. This place is huge with plenty of room. It is just so popular that there is almost always a wait at peak times. Customer service was excellent. We never had to ask for refills of anything. The price point is higher at dinner because you have a bigger variety of meat to choose from. What's cool about this place is that you have your own individual hot pot so everyone can get a broth to their liking. You start off by choosing your broth base. I went with what I know and got the spicy original house soup. Within minutes of it hitting the warmer, I had a nice boil going. We asked for all the meats and they all came out quick. In the meantime, we hit up the buffet line and got a little bit of everything. The line consists of seafood, fresh veggies, noodles, eggs, sauces, and a variety of other meats. I dumped a little bit of everything in my broth and got to cooking. It is a great way to socialize and have a fun little night doing something different. The broth was flavorful and everything that came out of it was delicious. I made my own concoction of sauces and it totally enhances the flavor of the meats. I added some aromatics to the broth to give it a little extra flavor as well. We ended the meal with some dessert to satisfy our sweet tooth. The dessert bar had fruit, candy and ice creams. Great way to end the meal. I am already craving it again and will definitely be hitting it up soon while the weather is still cool! read more

I would have given 5 stars if it was the 1st time we went. That warranted 5 stars. This time I brought my whole family because the 1st time was so much fun, clean and yummy. Maybe because it wasn't a weekend we came and spring break but it was packed at 1 and I mean packed. We had to wait 30mins to be seated which isn't a problem because they were efficient in calling us etc but the one big turn off was how fast they wiped down our table after spraying n food bits flying everywhere and our table still had grease streaks. So it felt a bit dirty. Another thing was when our neighboring table left they wiped down too but when they sprayed they sprayed directly into my kids arms n food and again food bits flew into our table. So yeah that was a turnoff. I would give 3 stars for cleanliness especially after eating here and reading a review below us about food poison I brushed it off to them not cooking well but then from my whole party I was the only one that night with an upset tummy. Idk what it was maybe I didn't cook it well enough or something went bad but I was sicky for a couple days right after our meal. Just me though. I suspect the ice cream since there was a huge line and everyone's arms were digging into it. BUT again only me lol I am still giving it 4 generous stars because this place is fun and lunch is a good deal. I love how you can get everything you want. I love fishballs and mushrooms and there's a huge selection of them. I loved the ramen and fresh veggies too. Crab and shrimp kinda hard to eat. I wonder if it's the egg that did it for me too. Was it clean? Was it raw? Idk. But now I am wary of coming back especially the cleanliness part maybe contributing to my demise. Otherwise my hubs loved it and ate well. We loved the unlimited orders of wagu beef. My son ate well too. Yes the broths could be better. Tonkatsu n daishi was good. Shoyu not so much. I wish we can switch broths too once it runs low. Why not let us try different broths? It's cheap. And another thing I didn't like was when they refilled broth they did it from a dirty looking plastic Rubbermaid container. Other shabu places we have been to they change out your pot or serve from a nice kettle. Again just aesthetics and cleanliness. Also our waitress was kinda not too nice and moody today. Last time it was just a great experience. This time idk maybe too busy idk but our waitress was kinda mean and kept not letting us order more in case we waste but again I have 4 big boys and 2 girls who can eat lol so maybe be kinder next time? Overall a fun concept. I didn't try the sauces because as someone else mentioned they were fushiony and not quite fit for shabu. But we still enjoyed and glad the fam got to try. Will we be back? Not sure. Maybe with new peeps or guests from out of town? read more

WOW. Throughout college my friends and I ate hot pot frequently at random places around Bellaire and we really enjoyed it. Eventually we just started doing hot pot at home because it was as good as the restaurants we were visiting and it was cheaper this way so might as well save some money right? Shabu Zone is different. The quality and variety of food is far beyond what you'd be able to achieve at home by yourself. On top of that the servers were extremally accommodating with our large party of people and made sure to ask if we needed more meat or drinks any time we were out. This has become my new favorite hot pot spot in Houston and I will be going back again and again, and I recommend you check it out! read more

Shabu Zone - Hot Pot Near Me - Houston, Texas

I wasn't aware where Shabu Zone was located until I was searching for a place for lunch at Hong Kong City Mall, quite hungrily. I saw the ad when was researching at a pho restaurant on the opposite of mall. Ah. It's just a walk away, not driving across town. From inside of the mall, there are 2 small signs on both sides of standard door. I saw a for-hire sign on the door which gave me an impression as this is in fact Shabu Zone. So we walked in. We saw restrooms and people eating. I looked around, no one seemed to care about us as we saw servers stood around. So, I asked, "where is the front door? I think we entered from your back door." Ok. That's start over. We arrived at the front door and asked to be served. Hostess took us to almost where we came from. Those servers came to our table and laughed, "ah you are back." I didn't like the format as they brought the meats and other stuff in buffet line. There were surges of people lined up at the buffet. I got spoiled eating at 75 Hot Pot & BBQ. I can't get consistent sauce mix flavors at Shabu Zone. While shabu is Japanese, I believe there shouldn't be a lot of sauces. But half of condiments were premixed sauce. Vegetable broth was made from vegetables but not kelp, as Japanese does. Waitstaff was very cordial but other employees weren't. Those who stocked the buffet items were rushing, I considered them rude. One busboy used same towel wiped the floor on buffet counter. If owner is reading this, please watch your surveillance videos on December 18. I was too hungry to tell anyone. Besides, I ain't coming back. Note: HD score is 100.

As someone who loves hotpot, this is my fav place to get it ! Its all you can eat so come hungry. And come early bc it gets really busy esp on weekends. You get your own individual hotpot which I appreciate. My go to broths are either the sukiyaki or spicy house soup (not too spicy). The vegetable & seafood selection is immaculate. Theres so many choices & its buffet style so you can get as much or little as you want. The meats are all quality. I've tried all the meats but the #1, 5, 6 & 11 are the best. When you're running low on meat, the waiters will ask if you want more and quickly bring out another plate. They have at least 15 options for sauces for you to mix and match. I've been at least 10 times and this place always leaves my tummy happy and very full. Apparently on Tuesdays you can get ayce Korean short ribs now :O read more

We were hungry and had to go to one of our favorite hotpot places. We were excited that they had new items that you could choose! They now have conch and a had a lot of Kim chi/pickled vegetable selections. Even thought the restaurant was crowded they were quick to refill all of the selections. They also offer a large menu of specialty meats that you can also accompany your hotpot. There's a large amount of seafood and vegetable selections for hotpot. We are never disappointed when we come here. Their options of making your own sauce is one the largest options we've seen. You'll really be able to bring out your inner chef and create a delicious sauce for your food. Shaun zone is a clean and fun restaurant that loves to bump Korean pop music. The music will make your meal even more fun! We went on a Saturday for lunch and there is plenty of staff to tend to your every need! Would highly recommend this spot! Clean, friend and large selection of menu items. read more

I came here on Saturday night with my husband, little brother and my cousin. We got here around 5:30 so luckily we were seated right away. By the time we got out of there at 7:30, there was a wait out the door, so get there early! The premise is all you can eat for $25 per person for two hours. On the menus on Yelp, you won't see the #11 meat which is the American wagyu beef belly. Basically after trying every single meat, our table decided that we were only going to order #11. Because there were 4 of us, we were allowed to order up to 8 plates of meat at a time. By the time we were done, we had over 80 plates of meat. Because the meat is sliced so thin, one plate is equivalent to a regular piece of beef. In addition to beef belly, I enjoyed the squid rings, blue crab and head on tiger shrimp (I ate 4 plate fulls of these items). The quality of the meat was 8/10 which is why I am giving a 4 star review. It was delicious with the pork tonkotsu broth. They had a variety of sauces and sides. They had sesame oil and salt that I used for my meat. I also had spicy ponzu with chili powder for my seafood. I got a bunch of crushed garlic that I added to my broth. The service was great - our servers were very attentive to us especially because they got the routine down of bringing 8 plates of beef belly! They refilled our drinks and broth at the appropriate times. I'll be back =) but maybe not eat so much read more

I was told about Shabu zone from another yelper Raj K, As being the best hotpot spot in Houston and he was on point. I met a few yelpers here for dinner. Raj K, Zain R, Jason D. As this was my first time, Raj gave us a break down of all the items on the buffet, along with ordering procedures. We got all the beef items that were available on the menu to add to the pot. There was choices available for broth and I chose the fish broth per recommendation of my fellow yelpers, and it was a great choice. Next we all got up, and went to the actual buffet area to grab all the items. From various noodles, to all sorts of veggies, eggs, tons and tons of seafood. I was amazed at all the seafood that was available. The tiger shrimp n prawns, crab, scallops, squid, octo etc etc. We brought our items and slowly started stirring them in the pot. The servers also brought us soft rolls, that we rolled and made ourselves. We dined for a couple of hours at our pace and enjoyed the great convos. This spot is definitely worth it and a great place to chill and eat at your pace. read more

The service was terrible. I went with my 18-month-old child and my husband. I asked for an extra pot, but there was no soup, so I used bottled water to cook some food for my son. In the end, my son didn't eat anything. However, towards the end of the meal, they wanted to charge us for three people because we used three pots, even though the menu clearly stated that children under 4 years old would not be charged. Also when we requested an extra pot, no one told us we would be charged an additional fee. Even the manager, when arguing with us, had a terrible attitude. I'm very upset with how they handled the situation and will not be going back. read more
