If you're looking for an AYCE shabu shabu buffet, you're looking at the right place! Shaburina is nestled in Bellevue, offers delicious food and incredible service. Terrance was truly a great guy to help ensure that guests were enjoying their dinner to the fullest. My sister and I came on a Friday evening without having to wait. Although, I do suggest calling ahead in case. I picked the kombu broth (original, most popular) and my sister had the spicy miso. Both broths were delicious although, I wish the flavors would stay as flavorful even with additional broth mixed in. I wouldn't mind trying the special 'Korean Soon Dobu' style broth next time. Buffet items offered range from crown daisies, nappa cabbage, variety of mushrooms, seafood- clams, shrimp, octopus, all the dipping sauces and selection of premium wagyu and pork belly. Really delicious!! read more

OBSESSED with this hotpot place and mad at myself for waiting so long to try them out! Went here with some friends and fell in love! Love that the buffet has so many options for toppings/sides for your PERSONAL hotpot. The meats are unlimited too and really high quality. They also gift you a delicious soft serve cone after your meal. Service is great and quick too! read more

Three of us went for the buffet option, and while hotpot is always fun and the vibe of Shaburina is nice (soft serve ice cream at the end), we found the broth and veggie/ sauce/ food bar a bit lacking in variety. There is all you can eat meat with 4 different cuts that come out nicely on stacked trays, but it's a bit bland without enough seafood and buffet options to balance it out. read more

Honestly very average hotpot that isn't worth the price. I wish they would have had lamb in addition to pork and beef. Also, their broth selection wasn't the best (most of the broths weren't that flavorful). Probably wouldn't come again and instead would go to happy lamb. read more

Food and service are fine But 100% sure the amount they finally charged does not match the amount displayed on the credit card machine (after tax and tip) Not sure which part goes wrong or they are doing this on purpose, didn't ask for a receipt since this is the first time in my life experience sth like this. Not worthy fighting for few bucks Won't visit again read more

Great place to celebrate a birthday! If you can eat a lot of meat, I would say this is a good deal. Especially on your birthday because you get a meat cake! Overall, I had a great experience here. The staff was super friendly and attentive and I could taste the quality of meat compared to a lot of AYCE places. Very clean and there is a parking lot on-site. The owner or manager was very helpful. When we arrived he was having a conversation outside with customers and made it seem inviting. He also opened the door for all of us which was sweet. He also took the time to make my boyfriend a sauce concoction that was delicious. My family did the more expensive option of Premium meat which was $55/pp which includes AYCE meat and AYCE salad bar access that has great veggie and seafood options. We all tried a different broth; original, spicy miso (not that spicy imo), sukiyaki and the broth of the day was Japanese curry. They were all good, my boyfriend's favorite was the spicy miso and sukiyaki. My least favorite was the curry, only because it was thick and super heavy for an AYCE option. Would've preferred something more broth-y. Drink wise I only had the Matcha IPA. I personally didn't think it tasted like anything special (didn't taste matcha) but my boyfriend who doesn't matcha or IPA's liked it lol. I would definitely visit again! There are a couple things that I would like to note though. 1. Not a huge deal and I think it's more the pay terminal service issue than theirs but when you choose a tax percentage on the terminal it includes the tax in that percentage. We ended up tipping on the total, not subtotal. Not a big deal because, like I said we had great service 2. If you're going for a birthday, it must be on they actual day and they will check ID. You also must make a reservation a week in advance. 3. Everyone at the table must choose the same course. If there is a vegetarian at the table and people want a meat course, the vegetarian must pay the chosen meat course price 4. When we made a reservation for dinner there are only 2 time slots available: 5pm and 7pm 5. If you take the 7 pm time slot the "salad bar" does last call an hour before closing. I haven't gone to a 5pm slot but was kind of sad because it kind of detracts from value. 6. One payment/card per table. So prepare to venmo! read more

A new AYCE shabu shabu place I didn't know I needed. Hot pot is aesthetically pleasing and even better for the soul. I don't know if it's just me but I feel healthier when I eat hot pot because I tend to consume more veggies. It's always much easier to eat when soaked in yummy broth! When I googled the location it took me near the Avalon parking area which I didn't realize you could park (?), we ended on the street near construction. Luckily, we went on a weekday for lunch so it wasn't too busy. Interior is open, airy, and clean. Loved the light fixtures and decor. We were seated quickly with a few other tables dining near by. Our table ordered 2 of the 'House Meats' $35 which is $16 cheaper than the 'Premium Meats' $45 with full access to veg/seafood bar. To me, when it comes to hot pot or shabu, as long as it's thinly sliced it tastes the same. If you're preferring the full experience, want to spend a little more I suggest trying the premium cuts. You can also order set meals that come with meats and veggies or even just try the 'salad bar' for $23. Pick your soup base, we went with original kombu & spicy miso. Don't forget to hit the sauce bar! Come up with your own creations or choose among the different recipes they offer. Food was bomb 5/5. Don't fill up too much at the salad bar because you will get charged for wasting. By the time the meat came and we finished at the salad bar our eyes were definitely bigger than our stomachs but we made sure to finish. Ended our ayce shabu with yummy soft serve in a waffle cone, the perfect accompaniment to top off my best friends birthday lunch. All in all, 5/5 besides the parking situation. Shaburina has slowly made its way to one of my top favorites and I can't wait to go back soon. read more

Been very cold in Seattle lately and we were craving HOT POT. We are currently based on the east side so we don't get around to the Redmond area that often, but we were feeling adventurous this weekend. I am a big sucker for a places with cute, clean and modern decor. Shaburina is all that and then some. Free retail parking offered at the Avalon Garage and street parking is a plenty. GPS lead us to the side of the Avalon Parking Garage, but we walked around to the store front in just a few mins. Per their website they do not offer reservations unless you have a big party (8 and over), but on Yelp you can add yourself to the wait list! Once your table is ready, there is a certain amount of time you have to check in with the hostess. Super clutch, I love being able to be seated right away. Our Server was named Jarrod and he was awesome, ask for him, you wont regret it. He took amazing care of us, gave us great recommendations and was very attentive. TBH all of employees work hard here, constantly running around making sure tables are cleared off, dispensing ice cream, refilling drinks, etc. For a AYCE Hot Pot Place service was 100! We ended up getting a few specialty drinks - Chocolate Rice Cereal Lattes, Yuzu Crush & Fresh Yuzu Green Tea Lemonade. Cereal drink is like a dessert drink, chocolate milkshakey with rice cereal on time. Def recommend, but don't let it take up too much room in your tummy. Yuzu Crush - slushy, refreshing citrus option, Fresh Yuzu Green Tea Lemonade - light and refreshing, I would def order this one again. In terms of broth, we all got Original Konbu and it was delish! Light and not over salty, perfect pairing to our Premium meats. We decided to ball out this time around, bc we've been a semi strict wedding diet and today was a MASSIVE food cheat day :) AYCE Premium Rich & Lean Slices of Beef & Pork for $47 per person. The whole table has to commit tho, so make sure everyone is on board! A little on the pricey side, but the ingredients were fresh, presented nicely, & quality selections. The buffet has a large selection of noodles, veggies, mushrooms, seafood and so much more. (See my photos for details) Their sauce bar is equally impressive, just don't waste. Make sure your eyes are not bigger than your stomach bc I'm pretty sure there is a charge if you waste too much food. We also got the opportunity to try some appetizers as well - chicken karaage & takoyaki. Terrance the owner brought them out and made sure everything was tasting yummy so far. He also told us that Shaburina was also named after his wife Sabrina. CUTE. I forgot to mention you get free fried bread with condensed milk to start and you get to end your AYCE experience with free soft serve. Let me tell you, that ice cream revitalized me. My burnt tongue and I so needed that. Overall, great experience and I would happily recommend this place to all my hot pot lovers! If you are ever in the Redmond Area make sure you go check them out! read more

Really great spot for all you can eat shabu shabu/hotpot. The staff are so friendly, and service is quick. Never a moment where you are left waiting for your order of meat to go with your meal. Two options for ayce meat, regular and then the premium cut. The buffet area contains all manners of seafood, tofu, vegetables and other things that you normally wouldn't see at other locations. Also gotta love getting free ice cream at the end of your meal. Would come back here again especially during these colder months. read more

My coworker told me about Shaburina and the AYCE option, so of course my Hot Pot loving husband and I had to come check it out. We came here on a Saturday morning, around 11:10 AM. There is parking around the side in the garage area, and it has a decent amount of spots. The owner (I believe) showed us to a booth and our waitress came by pretty quickly to get us waters and our order. We decided on the sukiyaki broth with the house meats, then we were off to the buffet bar with all the different sauces and other sides (meatballs, seafood, veggies, and noodles). Our waitress brought our broth's to the table as well as a complimentary order of fried golden bread with condensed milk. We took a couple of bites but obviously didn't want to fill up. You have 90 minutes for the AYCE option. The broth did take a little while to get boiling, longer than most places. We also grabbed an empty plate to put finished cooking items down instead of just letting it boil for a while. I really enjoyed the fried fish tofu looking thing, the meatballs had a slightly weird curry after taste that we both didn't really enjoy too much. I wasn't a huge fan of the wider vermicelli noodles either, they were very chewy, even after being in the boiling soup for a long time. The normal hot pot staples like tofu, spinach, different seafood balls, and noodles were available. The sukiyaki broth was good, a little too sweet for my taste. I would probably go for the original next time. The beef and pork were good, I really enjoyed them. Although I am glad we didn't go for the premium meats, we could only eat so much, and the meat was already pretty good in my opinion. Our waitress was nice and efficient. She came back every once in a while to check up on us and to see if we needed anymore beef/pork. She also told us we got free ice cream at the end of our meal, but we already had dessert plans and were pretty full already. So we skipped out on the ice cream, but it would be a nice finishing touch to hot pot! The décor and atmosphere is super trendy, a lot trendier then some of the other hot pot places I've been to. The bar set up looks really nice. The place was definitely filling up when we were leaving as well. I would def. come back here, it's a little out of the way for me, but worth it. read more

I love hot pot- sometimes Chinese hot pot is a hit or miss for me so we decided to try shabu! This is definitely more up my alley. The soup cases don't have as many herbs (Chinese peppers, peppercorn, white pepper, etc) so it fit my taste buds better. There's a selection of different soups to select from. They have an all you can eat- you put on your mask and gloves (per Covid) and go to the bar to get all of the sides you want! They have a wide range of veggies, proteins, etc. we decided to go with the beef, which the waiter brought out. You can also customize your dipping sauce. The meat is all you can eat too- i thought the 4 they brought out at first wouldn't be enough but boy, was i wrong! I was so stuffed. At the end, you get soft serve ice cream! Definitely recommend coming hungry and don't stack up on the all you can eat bar too quickly! read more

A new shabu shabu place in town and it did not disappoint. It's a little bit pricey and has two tiers of different kinds of AYCE meats. The lower tier was good enough and the higher tier had kobe beef, but I don't think it makes a huge difference cooked in hotpot. I was blown away by the self-serve sides bar. They have a good selection of seafood (mussels, squid, clams, shrimp, etc.), fish cakes, noodles, and vegetables. One of my favorite things is mixing the sauces together to create your own power sauce. The basic seaweed soup base was the best in my opinion. I would go back, solid food and they didn't hurry us to leave even as they were closing. read more

My new favorite AYCE shabu shabu spots! $35 for their house combo which comes with 4 meat options and their buffet style sides. Meat quality is great, I like their lean meats in general. You can upgrade to the premium meat selection which is $50 but the house selection is already great in my opinion. A few highlights of their buffet sides- kobocha squash, ramen (TRY THIS to finish off your broth at the end of your meal if you have space in your stomach), seafood- shrimp and squid, and a ton of sauces. Service is excellent, I think I had my water glass topped off about 4-5 times during our meal. The staff always have an upbeat personality and seem to like working there! I always feel welcomed when dining here. They finish off your meal with a soft serve cone to-go! Highly recommend! Free parking in the Avalon parking garage read more

My friends and I had an amazing hot pot experience at Shaburina! Not only was the food fresh and delicious, the staff went above and beyond to make our dinner go smoothly. Food was unlimited, with everything but the main meat available buffet style. Even though the meat was served, the waitstaff checked in often so we never had to wait for anything. They kept an eye on our broth levels too, replenishing whenever needed. Other tips: Vegetarian broth was available for those who don't eat meat. Seafood options were available at the buffet. The time limit is 90 min, which was enough for us, but keep that in mind and use it wisely. They are very careful about food waste which I highly appreciate! read more

PSA for all those who want to get their money worth while eating AYCE. They will give you these hot donuts right at the beginning. They taste like some refined and boujie andagi. They are delicious, fresh and hot. BUT if you are trying to get the most of your money, do not, I repeat DO NOT eat the entire donut. Take a bite and get out of there. These donuts will fill you up and you will eat less. PSA over. Now read the review LOL. I love AYCE hot pot so I was really excited to try this place. There's two types of AYCE you can get, the premium and the house. Of course, me being the cheap asian I am, I got the house since it was like $10 cheaper. Honestly, I don't think my tastebuds are refined enough to tell the difference between regular beef and upper class beef... but that's just me. Anyways, went on a Saturday night for dinner and it was busy. Thank God for yelp waitlist! When we arrived we waited less than 10 minutes to get seated. You order your meats from your server and get everything else at the buffet line. They had a lot of options for sauces, seafood, mushrooms, noodles and veggies. These were my main picks: thick vermicelli noodles, bok choy, napa cabbage, a whole lot of enoki mushrooms, wood ear mushrooms and some squid. Just to let you know, the broths are very light in taste, and I think that's how it's supposed to be since it's shabu shabu. Overall, definitely would come back to this place again! I want to try the lunch buffet because it was a little less expensive, but other than that I would recommend trying it out! read more

We were coming from Kirkland and me and my friend was craving some hotpot for dinner. Looked it up and Shaburina popped up.(I have also stalked their IG and looked at all the photos.) Now if you work for Microsoft, you're lucky, its super close to you (from what I hear) so parking wont be much of an issue. There is street parking around the buildings, but I think there might even be retail parking below(?). Dinner seems to be only buffet style. So if you were looking for AYCE, then you found it. For lunch they have a different selection all under $20. Shaburina has an interesting setup. You get your own individual pots and you get to control the temperature. The first thing you get to choose from are 6 different soup bases. Original Konbu Sukiyaki Spicy Miso Soy Milk Chicken Collagen Paitan (Dinner only) House special (I think its random or what ever the chef suggests. When we went I think it was kimchi...?) After that you get to chose either the house $35 or the premium $47 cuts of meat. Then you get to go up and choose your veggies, dumplings and balls. They even have pickled vegetable like kimchi or their house pickles to munch on and change up the flavours. What I did appreciate was the make your own sauce bar. Although they there wasn't really any suggestions for newbies in what kind of flavours matching that would be good with your meal, it seem to be more of an experiment and trial and error. (hint: go with garlic, but not too much or you'll be tasting it for the rest of the evening.) The bonus: I'm not sure if it's just as a welcome appetizer or if its something you got to ask for, but you are welcomed with some deep fried man tao (white buns) and condensed milk, a classic Chinese snack. Our waiter forgot to bring us any when we first arrived, so when we asked for it, he was kind enough to bring us some and then more when we asked for it. Service was good. They constantly took away any dirty dishes and refilled water and soup refills when necessary. You even get unlimited soft serve. But after a meal with lots of meat and veggies, one can only fit so much soft serve to fill those cracks in the stomach. Over all a great meal. Pricier then Little Lamb's Hot Pot, but cheaper then Dolar Shop. Some of the selection of vegetable were limited, but i like that we're not paying more to add on for a sauce bar. If you're in the area, give it a try. Don't want to spend a lot? Go try out their express lunch sets. read more

Not a bad place for AYCE shabu shabu. It's just expensive for what it is, even if it's AYCE. I had my birthday dinner here with a group of 12, and overall, we had a fun time, especially for those who've never eaten hot pot before. As indicated on the website, Shaburina requests that you e-mail or call to make a reservation for parties with more than eight people, which is what I did. I e-mailed Shaburina with details and received a response the next day. I also received a reminder text the morning of my birthday dinner from Shaburina. It was an easy process for the reservation. The only bummer of having a large party was that we were split by two tables, so it was hard to socialize with everyone at the same time. I kept having to switch tables, just to make sure everyone was having a good time and interacting with my guests since it was my birthday. Every seat has their own section that the pot is placed in for cooking, so to get a bigger table that accommodates a large party may be difficult. Also note that for a large party, they can only split the bill with two tenders and there will be an 18% service charge. After placing our orders for what broth we wanted, the server invited us to start getting our items from the buffet and they would bring the meats. You have a choice of house and premium meats and will receive all the different kinds, which include both rich and lean pork and beef. The buffet had a good amount of assorted items to choose from. From dipping sauces and toppings, to seafood and vegetables, I definitely made multiple trips to the buffet. Items that I liked were the lobster balls, baby bok choy, kimchi and fried garlic. Some of the produce I noticed looked like it was close to wilting/aged. Compared to other hot pot places, the produce and some of the seafood at Shaburina wasn't up to par. I ordered the spicy miso for my broth and enjoyed it. I just wished it had been spicier, but it's definitely the option to order if you do want some spice. Of the meats, I enjoyed the rich beef the most. It was pretty tasty. To cook the food, you just press a button at your table for the different levels of temperature, which was easy to use. Since it was my birthday, I was also given a complimentary house drink, which was a cereal milk latte that comes in a huge measuring cup. It was very nice of the restaurant; however, the drink you'll want to order here is the Matcha IPA from Japan. Amazing beer! Overall, Shaburina was a fine place for dinner, and I was glad to have celebrated my birthday with a fun dining experience. There were some hits and misses and the quality doesn't match the price, but it's worth trying at least once if you like AYCE hot pot. read more

Conveniently located in my apartment complex, Shaburina satisfied my hotpot craving but due to prices isn't a common trek I'll make. For lunch and premium, it was $50 per person which was quite steep. They give you 4 trays of meat per person right off the bat and you get your own personal pot with soup. To me, it did kind of take away that fun communal environment of hotpot. The buffet bar had a lot of different options. The corn had a weird texture, making me wonder if it had been frozen beforehand (like many of the other foods as they still had ice on them). The beef meatballs were not appetizing. The meat that we paid for, especially the fatty wagyu strips were phenomenal. As a general restaurant, I'd give this 4 stars, especially if you've never tried hotpot before. As a hotpot restaurant, I'll have to say this didn't really impress me especially for the price. read more

The restaurant is nice and spacious, with plenty of seating - so usually no reservations needed. Service can be a bit slow when customers build up however, they only have two servers for all tables, which given they have to bring the meat out, can mean things progress slowly. We had to call multiple times towards the end for someone to come over. The quality of meat is generally not very good, even when ordering the premium options. Way too much fat, yes more than what the cut of meat should have. The broth is alright. Overall, not worth the price point. If you want better quality meat, better quality broth, while still being less expensive, I'd suggest Shabu Shabu Kyoto in Bellevue. It's ala carte not ayce, but unless you eat a mountain of food, it is still less expensive. read more

Came by to try out this new place during lunch. It was pretty easy to park. There is complimentary 90-minute retail parking in the Avalon garage in the same block. There were also some street parking available near the park. We got the lunch express hot pot, surf and turf and beef. The meat were okay, the broth was meh for me compared to traditional Chinese hot pot. Haven't tried enough Japanese hot pot to compare. The vegetable was fairly fresh but the seafood and the fish balls didn't taste fresh at all. I left most of the scallops and squid because they tasted like it's gone bad. They did provide complimentary fried Chinese dough 馒头 with condensed milk as appetizer and soft serve as dessert. Probably wouldn't come back here again. The cost-performance ratio just isn't that great. I'd rather spend my money at one of the many other hotspot places in Bellevue. read more

* have vaccine card ready! * they check them at the door. Firstly, amazing service. Our sever was so attentive, charismatic and explained the process well. We both selected the House course meats. All of them were delicious- especially the beef. Plus, you get unlimited access to the salad bar. The fermented vegetables were so delicious! While they are very serious about vaccine cards and mask wearing, they don't control social distance + we all touch the same tongs at the salad bar. It's a little silly if they go to great effort to ensure vaccine status and mask wearing, but then no other health measures. Also, slightly disappointed they didn't offer the free soft serve as promised! Our meal for two was around $100, it felt a little rushed and expensive for what you got. read more

Second time here! Loved it again! Great location great service we waited maybe 20 min on a busy Saturday.

My absolute favorite hot pot spot in all of Washington state. Every time I visit from Hawaii, I HAVE to come here for dinner at least once.

TL;DR amazing food/flavors, amazing owners. Highly recommend. I'm in absolute awe of this place. I stumbled upon Shaburina quite randomly. One of my favorite cafes, Café An Clair was doing a collab with them and I decided to give them a try! I paid $150 for 'Set C' which included the following: 32 oz cold brew, 4 scones & 9 financiers from Café An Clair, DIY family spring roll set & the choice of either family size shabu shabu home cook set or their sukiyaki home cook set from Shaburina. A bit pricy? I thought so at first but once I received the package, it was very well worth it. I opted for their shabu shabu home cook set which included: their konbu concentrated broth, veggies (cabbage, bok choy, squash, some type of greens not sure of the name, corn, mushrooms (3 types), various fishcakes + dumplings, udon, thinly sliced pork & beef, 2 types of their sauces, & 2 types of hot sauces) I kid you not, this home cook set had everything I needed. I'm quite picky when I'm eating out so I was very worried this wasn't going to be as good at home but boy was I wrong. They even give you extra sauce!! Super simple to set everything up, everything was packaged professionally, securely & safely. The flavor was spot on and paired with the sauces provided perfectly. The meat was so tender and beautifully marbled. The broth was delicious and flavored well. They truly captured the flavors of shabu shabu and turned it in to an amazing at home experience. I can't recommend them enough. Can't wait to order another home cook set! PS. They're very responsive via their instagram which was so helpful when ordering! read more

Got the house course with the spicy miso broth. The broth was pretty good. The buffet bar had pretty good variety. Instant noodle ramen is always a great choice. The meatball was pretty dense, I wouldn't go for it. The service was great. They were very accommodating and kept coming over whenever we were almost ready for another round of meat. They only gave us like one napkin per person, felt like they could give us more napkins cause it can get a little messy. We did ask for more napkins. read more

Friend in Seattle highly highly recommended this place, and I finally found the time to check it out! AYCE, definitely won't ever turn down. It's located next to 151 Days on 152nd Ave NE in Redmond. Theres a parking garage to park in, located on the left side of the building if facing the restaurant. Lots of parking but the stalls are kind of narrow. There's an option to choose either the house meats ($34.95) or the premium meats ($49.95). My friends and I chose the house meats, and we all got our own little pot and four boxes of each meat! I chose the spicy miso soup (cannot get half half of another broth). The flavor of the broth was just a tad watery in my opinion. The cuts of meat were really fresh. There's a buffet style of vegetables, seafood and noodles that we were able to grab on our own while the meat was served to us. There's also a section of creating our own sauce. I got the house special mixed with a sesame base after seeing one of the workers prepare it for someone. And I'm glad I copied the worker because the sauces were REALLY GOOD. shoutout to him for being there at the right time. I usually get really excited when I go AYCE hot pot to the point where my eyes eat first and my stomach cannot handle everything... and no regrets because the food was really good! If you're in the area on a cold (even hot day if you're craving) day, definitely check this place out! Lots to choose from and also have your own little pot to cook your foods in. read more

Finally got a chance to try this place! Not really much of a wait on a weekday but I think the sweet spot to come is around 6:30 where the first round of folks who arrived at 5 are about done with their meal. Of course you can always come at 5 too! The owner/manager? is super proactive in making sure your meal is going good! The staff was also very helpful and made sure we had water and meat. The veggie selections had around 4 leafy vegetables and some other Shabu Shabu items like tofu, shiritakj noodles, mushrooms , etc. The noodles were a bit too close to the seafood section which raised some concerns for someone with a shellfish allergy (a member of our group has one) and was reluctant to go back again for the clear noodles and instant noodles. I guess you could go out of your way and explain to the staff to bring one directly from inside. Sukiyaki beef wasn't as strong as I preferred it. The spicy miso is like a kimchi stew. Only reason for a 4 star is probably the price point, the premium course is worth it if you eat enough meat plates, but for their house beef, the price seems kinda steep considering other competitors in the area offer much more options for the buffet options. Will come back when I'm craving it though! read more

Exceptional service with a plethora of fresh veggies & seafood! Since I don't eat meat, I chose the buffet. We had so much fun exploring different ways to make your soup the best haha! If you're bringing others with you, they accept one card to pay for the meal. The bathrooms was clean and fully stocked. We will definitely come back. read more

This place was so good!!! Besides the house meats (which in my opinion was already really fresh and delicious), the buffet bar was so much fun! It's not often that an AYCE hotpot has shrimp, scallops, octopus and clams as side dishes, but they have it here too! So many variation of noodles and veggies too! Their house sauce (sambal) + chef special sauce mixture along with peanuts, cilantro, Thai chilli were also recommended to us and I loved it! The spicy miso tastes very much like a soybean spicy broth you get with Korean tofu soups, so if that's your type of thing- you'll like it too! I tried their house special broth from my partner and I personally think I prefer that, it tastes like a super umami broth you get with popular udon joints and really let's the sauces shine. Awesome quality meats and the service was great too! They were super friendly and personable - the soft serve at the end was such a nice touch. read more

Just FYI: This review is mostly in regards to service. My friend had originally made a reservation for 8 on a Saturday at 7pm for a surprise birthday party. I go in to check in and there's nobody at the counter and a ton of people waiting. Okay that's fine. Another group comes in and then moves to my left and then someone assists them first. I'm like okay whatever I'll just be patient because there are still people in my party still arriving. They people in front had a group of 5 but originally booked for a group of 6. The host was like "this is a Saturday night. We have very limited seating available. You should have told us you were going to have one less person at your table." If you didn't know, this place has individual hot pots so if someone wasn't sitting at one, they would be losing money. I get it.. but to scold the people who came in and basically blame them is kind of rude. One of the guests apologizes and says we'll just one hot pot and have four. It's fine. Quite accommodating of the guest. I wait for another 5 minutes or so until the host comes back to help me. I say we have the reservation for 8 people but one person canceled at the last minute. Then he gets upset with me and says the same thing... you should have called us RIGHT AWAY when you knew you were going to have one less person and I said I'm sorry this was last minute. He's like it doesn't matter and that you need to call as soon as we knew. How were we supposed to know to do that? He's pretty much blaming me like he did the previous party. He also said "man this happened so much tonight! Saturday is our busiest night!" I understand it's a business but you could be at least courteous in the way you're talking to me about it. He motions to us to sit down and not even really leading us to the table or saying anything. He just says you have 90 minutes to eat and your time starts at 7 because they're booked full. You can take your ice cream to go, all very flatly. Okay... Our actual server is super nice and I thought did a great job! The food was good but they mixed up my broth with my neighbors broth. I didn't make a big deal or even care to switch. It took at least 10 minutes or so to start boiling. I thought the beef and pork fatty pieces were quite good. They give you 4 stacks of meat to start with. The AYCE bar has all the veggies, noodles, fish balls, sauce, etc. I wish there were descriptions of what the sauces were because it was all kind of a mystery to me. As I was looking around, I noticed tables with 4 hot pots only had 2 or 3 people at them. Did he yell at these people too? As we left promptly at 8:30, there were no other people waiting for tables.. Would I come back? No.. I felt uncomfortable and awkward because of the situation but at least the birthday girl enjoyed her food and didn't have to go through those interactions. read more

For the price, I was disappointed. My friend and I ordered the House Course meat and we chose different broths (I went with sukiyaki and she went with spicy miso). As our broth was heating up, we went to the buffet to check out our options and....there weren't many. There's a pretty extensive toppings bar, a small noodles section, a seafood section and a limited veggie section. We were both disappointed overall with our limited options. Also, the way some of our meat was sliced, there was still some bone or gristle left in it, which wasn't noticed at first until we started chewing on it. Once we noticed, we were so put off by the meat, we didn't continue to eat it. Considering our experience, I'm glad we didn't spend the extra money to get the Premium Course. While the buffet idea is good in theory, you need to really like what they put out, otherwise this place isn't worth it. read more

Angry Mario here in this 2023 year, let me tell you short story about this place " shaburina ". It started in the pandemic year 2020-2021 where everywhere was closed or small capacity. The owner ( Terrance ) took it serious, from small booth,mask and cleanliness. The year is 2023 now My heart is Happy. Seeing this place still poping with good music good environment and most importantly great food. For my hombres and ladies this place is filling so come with empty stomach. I 10/10 recommend this place to all my friends for hotpot or whatever the occasion is. Love it here read more

All you can eat meat Shabu shabu. I really like their sweeter dipping soup but the standard is good too. Meat quality is fine for what you are paying for. I really like the buffet selection. Great service. read more

Visited after a few years, everything is ok, but the quality of the food is not that great. The AYCE counter everything is frozen. Even though they close at 9, but by 8 they already came to tell the open food and sauce bar last call, so rushed customers went grabbing more food. We tried not to waste food and only to get more as we go, but this early closing of food counter leaded to either piled food more than you need or not enough ... I know staffs take time to clear and clean the bar but that is something you factored into closing time, not the open business hour. Maybe should be clear indicated the time for last call for open bar, so for customers who came in like 7:30 not feeling rushed to pile the food. I will go to a full serving AYCE hotpot restaurant instead. read more
