    There's many hot pot spots around Sea-Town but Shaburina stands out among the crowd! Great AYCE price point ($39.95 for their regular meat selection) and the quality of meat is bar none the best. Also love the assortment of fresh veggies and seafood and the sauce bar is excellent. The service is minimal since you can now do all the ordering on a table-side touchpad but the servers who do help were great. Still the great lively atmosphere and the interior is very clean. My only pitfall is they stopped giving you your comp soft serve in a cone but no biggie. Definitely can't wait to go back!

    Street parking and right around the corner, free garage parking.

    First time here!!! This was the most impressive dinner experience I've ever had. The place was full and yet we were seated within 10 minutes. The owner himself, Terrance, greeted us and explained how to order. The ordering system is sleek! Very easy to order and to get refills using the tablet at each table. The food and combination of flavors is exquisite, an adventure and just plain fun. From the first to the last bite my mouth was bursting was flavor!! The price is very good considering the high quality meats and buffet bar! The restaurant is clean and the seating is done very well. I felt like each table is private because of how well the space is used. We will definitely be back! This place will not disappoint!

    Spicy Miso Broth
    Bon H.

    My first Hot Pot experience ever. The restaurant was modern and clean . Each person can choose their broth from the menu. The popular one is the Original Konbu. I ordered the spicy Miso. Order meats thru the iPad and choose if you want the house or premium meats AYCE. We got the a House course. You can order beef or pork lean if you want. Then go to the vegetable bar buffet and noodle bar to make your selections. Lots of choices. Go to the sauce bar and create your own sauce for dipping after the ingredients are cooked. I recommend adding the fried garlic to your sauce. Your Meats are brought to you by the server and you can start dropping the ingredients in the cooking broth which smells so heavenly. Shabu Shabu is so delicious ....especially on a cold day. The only thing was that the rice was a little mushy for my liking. Definitely coming back!

    This was pretty good. I appreciated the vegetarian option and the multiple veggie soup bases. The buffet style toppings works pretty well too. The soup pots are also personal sized which is nice with dietary restrictions or different tastes, but ultimately they are a bit small in size. The service was fine and it was a nice sized place for hotpot with lots of space at tables and good separation. The parking is under the building.

    Stopped by for lunch with family and really enjoyed our food! Our Seattle family took us here because it's their fave. We went on a Sunday and it did take a while to get seated for a party of 5 during lunchtime. You order on the touchscreen device that's at the table. Because of this it did take a while to get the servers' attention and for extra stuff we ordered to come out. We got the all you can eat beef and it was good! I couldn't even order more because I could barely finish the first portion given. The original broth was pretty good, super flavorful when letting the beef fat sit in the broth. Meat was in the fatter and harder side unfortunately. The chef's choice sauce was surprisingly very good, I'm bro sure what it was but I enjoyed it. Overall, it was a fun experience to try shabu in another state. I enjoyed my food but have def had better shabu in California! I would come back though to have a good meal with my cousins!

    It's been so long since I've been back but glad to see it kicking around and busy as usual now with touchscreens to facilitate the ordering!

    Lunch

    We went for lunch and found complimentary parking in a nearby garage. We were seated right away and chose the all-you-can-eat hot pot option. Each table had a tablet for easy ordering -- from broth and meats. They also had sauce and food bar. The service was friendly and efficient, and everything we ordered was fresh and delicious. Unfortunately, the soft serve machine was out of order at the end of our meal, so no ice cream this time. Still, a great experience as always! Don't forget to download the app to enjoy all kinds of perks.

    This is my second visit to Shaburina, as recommended by a local friend. There is parking in the garage and you sinply walk outside to enter the restaurant. I really like this place, not only for the ambiance with their clean large space with hanging round lanterns, but also for the food. This round we came for lunch with an all you can eat special of $35 for the house lunch and a few other options. What especially impresses me is the bar where you can select your own veggies, noodles, seafood, sauces, etc. my favorites include the selection of different noodles and the scallops and clams. The meat is ordered at your table from your server and the still is very good about asking if you would like more and clearing plates as well as making sure your drink is never low. The meats are quality and thinly sliced, my favorite is the pork belly. Lastly, to top off your meal, they offer ice cream for dessert.

    Shaburina is an excellent spot for a personalized shabu shabu experience! You get your own individual pot and it's all you can eat. For our broths we ordered the sukiyaki and the original kombu. For our meat selection we ordered the House, which includes beef shortplate, beef chuck, pork belly and pork shoulder. All of which tasted of good quality. Fyi, everyone in your party has to order the same level of meat! The staff were very prompt about getting you refills of the meat, and just very attentive overall by making sure your soup and waters are filled. They were also very friendly and made sure you were well taken care of overall. My favorite part about this place is the self serve toppings bar! They have a wide selection of vegetables, noodles, dumplings, fish cakes, sauces and more. Overall, it was a pleasant and interactive experience! Remember to ask for the icecream at the end of the meal!

    Thinly sliced beef

    Meat quality is really good. Service is fast. Buffet options are extremely limited compared to other hot pot restaurants. Price is insanely high, on top of that they charge a 3% surcharge if you use a credit card. It's 2025 who is paying in cash for hot pot.

    Traveled all the way from Orange County, California for our annual Seattle trip and we HAD to try this place! The spicy miso and all you can eat shabu shabu was amazing! Super tasty! The service was excellent! The owner was super kind and kept checking in on us! Very clean and very welcoming! Our kids loved it! Will definitely be back!

    Do they still do the birthday meat cake? I haven't been able to get them to answer the phone. Do we need over 6 people?

    Yes , they have the meat cake. Yes, you do need a certain amount of people to receive it(I don't know the number) You also need to order in advance for the meat cake and make reservations for party over 6.

    Are there any gulten free options for both broth and food?

    Yes! They also have gluten free options for both the meat and the toppings bar (squash, corn, veggies, rice noodles, etc). Ask the servers for assistance when choosing if unsure.

    What do you recommend for broth?

    I like the sukiyaki

    Do they have individual pots or do you have to share?

    Individual and you get to pick the broth

    Is there an updated price on the AYCE?

    Last month was $55 for the premium.

    Do they offer the Togo option during the holidays like last year?

    Is this a buffet hotpot place? What are the prices?

    Most people go for the buffet option: Essentially it's a buffet for all hotpot ingredients (minus the broth (which you choose) and the meat (all you can eat but you just order from the wait staff).… Read more

    Hi if I am going with a friend who will only get the salad bar because of her dietary restrictions, while I get one of the buffet with meat, does she have to pay the same price for the meat option?

    The entire table has to make the same choice. But, what you eat is up to you. Ie: you can order a particular type of meat and on person can choose to only eat the buffet items if they want (which is mainly vegetarian or pescatarian).

    If you get the sukiyaki broth do they serve it with the raw egg?

    No. I ordered it a few weeks ago

    Is there a seafood platter we can get instead of meat. I know there is a buffet but do we have to order meat?

    According to the menu they offer salad bar only option (which will include all of the seafood). But I'm not sure how that works if there are meat eaters in the group because the course selected has to apply to everyone in the table. i.e. you can't… Read more

    Is the one pot shabu shabu $28p/p? Are kids welcome?

    Yes! Kids are welcome although you should keep an eye on them as your Shabu Shabu is always boiling. It's about $28 for the AYCE house course but a little more for the Kobe option

    Is the meat all you can eat?

    Yes There are several types & quality of meats you can pick and different price point

    Is it possible to switch out the pork if you order a meat coarse?

    Yes, you can get just the 2 beefs or any other cuts you want.

    Is it possible to have a vegan meal, here?

    Yes.

    Do they take reservations for large groups?

    Yes

    Any vegetarian options?

    Plenty -- it's a buffet. I remember a lot of greens and tofu.

    How much is the buffet?

    $28 for lunch $35 for dinner

From the moment I stepped inside to the decor and service to the taste and quality of food, I was impressed the entire night. Most bbq places are laid back and loud, but this place is refined, sophisticated, and everything you'd want for a date night or celebration. Starting off with service, everyone we spoke with was lovely and inviting. We felt welcomed and our server kept checking on us, but wasn't too invasive, so we were able to catch up. We were greeted with hand towels and 3 options for water. Cutlery and tableware were nicely set up and I'm obsessed with their plates! I was blown away by all of the dishes we ordered but my favorites were definitely the Uni Toast, Wagyu Volcano, and honestly all the meats we ordered to grill. They grill your meats for you, so it is a bit awkward because the person stands there until everything is done, but it's cooked to perfection! Highly recommend for a nice date night or celebration dinner.

We started with a wagyu toast and the meat just melted in your mouth. We also had alaska king crab with A5. Kind of a surf and turf nigiri.

Lots of sauces and sides to try. Everything was very good. It's amazing how different each cut of meat tastes. I loved the silky egg yolk in the volcano. They offer bottle service as well as drinks and their drinks were excellent. Would definitely go back!

I know this because a little bit fell on my napkin. Beef was tender. Absolutely loved every bite. Seasonal Creamy Hokkaido Uni Udon- this was also amazing. Very creamy.

Absolutely loved the lavender foam. It was perfectly balanced and perfect amount of sweetness. I'd get it again Seasonal Purple Sweet Potato Mont Blanc- this looked better than it tasted the sweet potato itself was more savory and needed the soft serve to make it taste more like a dessert. Once you make your way to the soft serve, spoon a little bit of the sweet potato with a full spoon of soft serve, then it'll be good, in my opinion. Kohaku Matcha Parfait- delicious. Loved the little bit of strawberry and the warabi mochi. Probably not the best matcha parfait I've had but I'd get it again. Got the Sakura Tendon Set to go for dinner on the plane. While it was tasty, the crispiness didn't hold up so I would not recommend taking it to go/eating it at room temp. The grilled steak don probably would've been better for this purpose but I have no regrets. Service was excellent, friendly, and helpful. Looking forward to visiting again next time I'm in town.

One of my friends and I have already had their location in Georgetown countless times so we were happy to recommend our choices for our other friend this Friday evening around 7pm. Welp, we came into very full seating inside an extremely tight yet cozy seating area if it weren't for all the noise from there being so many people inside. It was so full and more people kept lining up behind us that we decided to do takeout and eat our food on the hood of my car despite spaces opening up as we waited about 20 or so minutes for our food... did I mention the parking lot for this place was nearly full and spots were very unforgiving in elbow room? Also that it's peak dinner time? Anyway, you place your order on a lone kiosk up front which did contribute to the really long line forming near the outside entrance. Like their Georgetown location, they offer a ton of hearty donburi and some appetizers and soup. Staff were a little rushed with some orders and forgot to give me utensils when I requested them through the kiosk but this didn't affect my overall experience, as I went back and they were more than happy to give them to me. We got their unagi donburi, which consists of a ton of broiled freshwater eel with an umami seasoning and tender juiciness, all on top of a huge bed of rice and with some radish. One of my friends instead got their una-gyu donburi which is a mix of unagi and sukiyaki beef, though that means we all got their unagi. Eel wasn't too salty, and scales are very fine and small that you can just eat it as is. This was a warming, hearty meal that sat very well with me and my friends. For this location and the one in Georgetown, I am most certainly coming back for some more!

Definitely look forward to coming back for more. Not a large restaurant so the tables can fill up quite fast. Order at counter or kiosk and they serve the bowls to your table. You bus your own table after.

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.
