    A solid 4+! Shaburina came highly recommended and it did not disappoint. The quality of the meat, the broths, and the buffet area were very good. I especially liked that you had a few self served seafood options available. Ordering was through a table top tablet which was a simple idea but a little cumbersome. One improvement would be to add a qty option for duplicate orders to save times ordering one at a time. We enjoyed the high ceiling space and individual hot pots for individual allergy considerations which was a big plus. Service was good and responsive but not too friendly. It's a busy place so expect a focus on efficient but limited responses to help needed. One of the better hot pot places on the east side. I would definitely recommend.

    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!

    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!

    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!

    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.

    This place is outstanding, amazing service and everyone takes care of you so well. The owner is very personable and creates for an inviting place. Food is wonderful, tender fresh meat and everyone gets their own pots.

    Ask the Community - Shaburina

    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).… 

    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… 

    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

    I treated my friend out for his birthday here on a Saturday noon at exactly 12pm on the dot…read more Parking is tough around here as their shared parking lot is compact, and street parking is limited given it's near Redmond Way - a very busy street - and a ton of residential buildings; I got lucky and snagged parking along 170 Ave NE just two blocks away. If you've been to their first Seattle location in Cap Hill, this location resembles that one in many ways, though this one in Redmond is noticeably much bigger and has more seating that isn't squished together. There's bar seating and a bigger number of four-tops compared to the Cap Hill location, though the wooden wall scheme is the same for both. They serve katsu here with many types of meat cuts, all of which are listed on their menu with descriptions. Service overall was fast and efficient even when tables around us started filling up with hungry patrons. For our food: - The K&O karaage was all right at best. Meat inside is very tender and juicy but the aromatic toasted powder has so much salty flavor - and outer coating was also so dry - that my friend and I needed to drink water constantly while eating it. We could have skipped getting this. - We each got their jidori chicken oroshi katsu. This comes with their jidori chicken, essentially high-quality free-range chicken breast cutlet... and it was very juicy, with the Panko coating being the right kind of crunchy in all areas. We weren't fans of the grated radish sitting on top of all that katsu though, and most of the dish was their shredded cabbage as usual. The cabbage goes really well with their peanut sauce provided at our table. We both left feeling really full and overstuffed in a good way, though I would pass on getting the karaage if you're already getting one of their katsu dishes. Distance- and seating- wise, I'd come back here for their katsu whenever I don't feel like dealing with the parking situation that is Cap Hill.

There was salad, that had like the full bottom parts of lettuce in it, there was onions in some kind of sauce, kimchi, just not a lot of things I personally like to eat. I would say their banchan definitely leans more towards Asian clientel, so if you go with someone who is a picky eater or not super familiar with asian/korean food, then just be aware of that I'd say. Overall though, I would say come here for the high quality meat! The service was good, but personally, I just won't be returning. I feel like there are other K-BBQ places that meet my taste buds more than this place.

    The missus and I celebrated our first wedding anniversary here. I booked about a month in advance…read morefor a 6:30pm bar seating, the $250 premium option which included A5 wagyu Filet mignon and some other high-quality choices. We were reminded by the text system a day and an hour in advance, and since it's tucked away in a plaza in Redmond, it's got plenty of parking. The only issue you may have is not knowing where the door is, because there's no big sign - the towa sign next to the doorway is smaller than the window panel in the door. When you step in, you feel a sense of quiet and calm - because that's what it is. Nori Morita (of the I love sushi group in Bellevue) runs a music-less, authentic Japanese kaiseki experience here. There's 6 seats at the counter, and maybe about 10-12 seats in the surrounding tables. It's a small space but it doesn't feel cramped. There's one all-gender bathroom and one single-stall female bathroom at the very back. Service throughout the meal was generally polite, courteous, and proactive. My water glass and the missus' tea were never left below half. They cleared each course quickly as we finished it, and the meal pacing is such that Nori can keep up with you, even if he's making all six counter dishes and all 12 table dishes at once. It's kind of like a maestro orchestra, but he has plenty of helpers - at least two wait staff, and an additional one or two sous chefs that are handling the auxiliary things around him. Food: while the meal was overall satisfying and filling, there was no standout highlight, or any particular dish that disappointed. It wasn't "meh", but it didn't really wow either the missus or I. I'm sure it'll be forgettable in a few weeks, which is the main reason for 4 stars - it's a bit more pricey than I'd expect for something this high quality. It qualifies for top 10 Omakase / Kaiseki in Seattle by nature of having high end ingredients and baseline high service quality, but those are table stakes given the competition.. The Miyazaki A5 wagyu was genuinely a decent portion size, but given that I've had it before, I guess maybe I expected a deeper flavour profile? The dish that I enjoyed the novelty the most was the Shabu Shabu king salmon - being able to eat sashimi-grade King salmon that you dip into boiling hot soup was a fun treat that definitely elevated the fattiness in the taste profile. Drinks: besides water, the missus ordered the hot hojicha tea, and I got the seasonal sake flight for $39. It was a decent selection, but it was heavily overpriced for the quality of sake and the amount you got. At most I'd expect to pay $25 for four 2oz pours, especially since one overlaps with Ltd Edition (kokuryu - black dragon). Verdict: it's lower half of the top 10 in Seattle - but it's still worth going if you want to celebrate something with high quality service and ingredients. I personally probably wouldn't do the $250 version again, but I'd be interested in doing the other ones. We both enjoyed ourselves - but idk if it's worth $700 for two people (service charge of 20% is added, plus tax...), so take that for what you will. Fun coincidence: all three couples seated at the counter when we were there were celebrating an anniversary - 11th for the farther couple, and 18th for the couple next to us. So for what it's worth - this place is definitely a destination for those that want to celebrate something.

    When we made the reservation, there were several tasting tiers to choose from with the menu varying…read moredepending on your selection. Upon arrival, a printed menu was waiting at our table listing each course, which I thought was a thoughtful touch. In a way, I know what we would be having that evening and able to take it home as a memory of the experience. We had bar seating so we were able to watch the chef and sous chef work together throughout the service. Every dish was artfully plated with well balanced flavors. I recommend Towa for a special occasion, celebration dinner, or anyone looking for an elevated dining experience in the area.

Beef could be a bit more tender, noodles were too soft, and the soup was just okay. Definitely a skip. Minced Pork (3.5/5): The flavor of the meat is actually solid: super savory, fatty, and slightly sweet. I wish that there was more of the sauce to soak into the rice, but it's not a bad rendition by any means. Popcorn Chicken (3.5/5): Chicken was actually cooked really well - great crispy crunch and the meat was juicy and tender. However, the actual flavor was super bland. With more salt and more seasoning, this could have been a really solid dish.
