Spring Shabu Shabu is still my favorite hot pot spot of all time. Yes, I said it! It's clean, spacious, and well-maintained, which is honestly rare to find in Flushing. On top of that, they even have authentic Dole Whip, so you don't have to wait in line at Disneyland to enjoy it! I've been coming to Spring Shabu Shabu since they first opened years ago, and they have never disappointed me. If you're looking for a huge variety of freshly made noodles, fish cakes, vegetables, and other hot pot essentials, this is the place to be. Although it's AYCE (all-you-can-eat), meats, seafood, and drinks are not included. Honestly, with all the options available at the buffet, it's more than enough for me. The fresh ramen is usually my noodle of choice, but there are so many great unique flavors that you really can't go wrong. Today, I tried the chili garlic and curry noodles, and both were delicious. The curry flavor was light and subtle, but you can definitely taste it when eaten on its own. The chili garlic noodles had a nice kick that I really enjoyed. If you're new to hot pot, this is a great place to start. Everyone gets their own individual pot and can choose their own broth. My family and I prefer not to share because we all enjoy different ingredients and flavors, so having a personal pot allows everyone to customize their meal. I love spicy food, so I always order the Mala broth. The service here is excellent. Special shoutout to Wendy and Jamaica for always being so friendly, attentive, and welcoming. My family and I truly appreciate your hospitality every time we visit. Is it loud? Yes, but not "concert loud." The atmosphere is lively, the music is great, and it's very family-friendly. It's also perfect for large parties and gatherings since there's a separate private room near the entrance. Tips for First-Time Visitors: Most of the parking spaces in the front large lot have been blocked off, so give yourself extra time to find parking around Flushing. Make sure everyone in your party is present since the entire group must be present to be seated. Once seated, place your order first, then head to the buffet area to grab your food. Don't forget to stop by the sauce station near the entrance and create your own dipping sauce! Finally, save room for dessert! Soft serve ice cream: Matcha, vanilla, lactose free vanilla and the famous Dole Whip! Choice of cup or cone. Bottom line: Spring Shabu Shabu continues to be my favorite hot pot restaurant. Great food, excellent service, and a fun atmosphere so stop by and give it try! read more

I haven't been here for about three years now and so much has changed, and not for the better. We came around 6:30pm as a party of four (3 adults and 1 infant) on a Friday and were quickly seated, which was different in years past where we had to wait. Pricing has increased since the last time we were here which is understandable with the increase in cost. They do not validate parking anymore. Waitress had greeted us and asked for the soups right away since we had been here before. We had requested if we can get a pot of plain water for the baby so that we can boil stuff without any sodium. She said sorry that will have to cost extra. But then I referred back to their ad that children under 3 eats free. And the whole explanation was yes but they could not have their own pot. She says this is just company policy and that it's not my decision. A few minutes later she came back and said I talked to management and they said it was ok for you to have a pot of plain water. After this, she doesn't come back to check in on us or ask for any refills on the soup and had to flag her down. Plates were slow to be cleared. Food - in the past we loved the fresh noodles here, but not anymore. Maybe it's due to less people, but the noodles are old and stay clumped up together. Everything else was pretty typical with the vegetables and the various types of fish balls. I don't think we will be returning here anytime soon. There are so many hot pot places to go to that are higher quality and better service. It's sad because they were once so popular, but I don't think they have adapted to the changing restaurant options in flushing. read more

Came here on a Saturday afternoon and was seated very quickly for a party of 6. I must give props to our server. I didn't get his name but he had the rat tail. He was by far the best server I ever had from all the times we come here. Thank you!!!! The food and service was top notch. I will say I can't eat like I used to. Only went for one round of food. The veggies were fresh and the variety of selections of everything were the best. This is why this is our go to place for hot pot when we have friends visit from out of town. read more

All you can eat may be wasted on those who can't put away large quantities of food, but ya girl can put it down, and definitely ate more than $23 worth. A deal this good can only really be found the further out you go from the city center, and I was more than happy to take the hour long subway ride to Flushing for this veritable feast. It was fully packed the Wednesday night I visited, so I can only imagine what the waits must be like on weekends. One great thing about hot pot is that you can start eating pretty much as soon as you choose your soup base, and they were quick to get us ours. I noticed some reviewers complaining that the soup bases were flavorless but I found the miso broth plenty flavorful. The meats and vegetables you cook into the base also infuse some flavor into the soup, not to mention the sauces you get at the sauce bar. Speaking of, I often judge a hot pot spot by their sauce bar, and this was was pretty good. It's no Haidilao, where they offer actual appetizers at the sauce bar, and I found there to be a dearth of truly spicy options, despite there being several variations of chili sauce, but all in all not bad. None of the sauces had a real kick to them, save for the chopped up green chillies. Included in the AYCE are salads, several different types of noodles, several types of fish cake, mushrooms, lotus root, bamboo, squash, and other carbs like rice cakes. I got the $7 white fish add on and my friend added some meats to hers so we could get more protein in, and the portions were hefty. One thing that was noticeably missing for me were quail eggs, one of my favorite hot pot ingredients. The place is clean, and the food turns over quickly, guaranteeing you a fresh batch. I also had the lowest expectations of the soft serve, but the pineapple dole whip and matcha soft serve were winners, so much so that I went back for seconds. Great value if you enjoy hot pot. read more

Came on a Saturday for a party of 5 at around 7 ish? We had to wait around 15-20 minutes but any time after that  - the line was loong.   It's a huge place though and the only thing you pay additional for is seafood and beef/pork.   I enjoyed how clean the sauce was and the variety of noodles and veggies.   I also liked how everyone gets their own individual broth and soup base. I had a great time and did enjoy their matcha soft serve at the end. read more

White fish & top neck clams -$6 mussels $4.75 5/5 dole pineapple swirl - firm, tart, amazing 3/5 strawberry watermelon $5- a bit too watery 2/5 matcha, mixed & vanilla swirl- these were melting out of the soft serve machine, temp too high prolly or the dispenser machine isn't working properly? they didn't even form a proper swirl, it dripped on my hand & all over the cone read more

Honestly it's somewhat criminal that I've never reviewed Spring because she is truly everything to me. I've been coming here for years and it NEVER fails me. I love that they keep bringing in new things so that there's always something to be surprised by when I come (this time around, it was the squid fish cake and the taro noodles)! Basically you're paying for a hotpot buffet -- all you can eat veggies, noodles, and more. Pay extra for meat if you want it. The selection is unreal; there are so many different types of noodles, so many different fish cakes, so many leafy veggies, and an entire sauce bar for you to make your own sauces. And don't forget your matcha and/or dole pineapple soft serve to top off the meal. It's just perfect. They don't take reservations, so be prepared to wait, or come early/late for your meal! The line definitely does move, though! read more

Spring Shabu-Shabu - Japanese Near Me - Flushing, New York

Amazing customer service! Such a huge selection of foods!! I loved all their different kinds of noodles such as taro and spinach. U can tell their food was so fresh too. It is pricey...bc everything that is a meat or seafood is à la carte price. Most AYCE buffets have it included in their price unless it's a more expensive item. Other than that annoying part, the sauces and veggie selections were good! read more

I love shabushabu. My very 1st time at spring was in Boston. I was shocked to found out that it was Acye (except for meat). Now fast forward to my time in NYC. Still is good and reasonably priced. Everything was super delicious. I do miss enoki and the fish ball with fish eggs in it. Matcha ice cream was still good. Good service and spacious location read more

This is my all time favorite shabu shabu or hotpot place EVER. Its super vegan friendly- all the meat is served separately and additional charge. They have a wide variety of noodles at the noodle bar, soooo many fresh veggies to choose from, lots of tofu and fishcake as well. TONS of mushrooms! Their Mala broth is amazing, you can ask for a side of mala hot sauce, there is so much flavor you do not even need dipping sauce! The vibe is a fast casual place in the mall. The price is also a steal at $24 per person- back in the day it was $12! read more

Pros: - quickly seated despite having a larger group and a slight waiting time. - self-serve ice cream !! - servers are friendly and very quick. - self-service sauce station, I love experimenting and mixing them Cons: - customers will "cross-contaminate" the tongs with other veggies or certain seafoods (fish cake, imitation crab, lobster balls, etc.) [not a super big deal personally, but this is just to note for others]. Comments: - went on a Monday (it was a holiday) around 7:40PM, there was a wait of about 15-20 minutes for a group of 5, we were seated around 7:55PM. - it can get very loud when it's very busy, and I mean VERY loud. - I've been patronizing this place since it first opened and still haven't really had any issues. read more

I love going to hotpot places especially when they have all the ingredients that I like using for my sauces and Spring did not disappoint! One thing that I like about spring is that all the veggies and fishballs are self serve. I know that it is usually unpopular for people to not eat the beef products, but I've always been more of a fishball girl so it works out perfectly for me. We ordered a variety of dishes for the table to share as well as walked around and picked up a couple individual items. The quantity of options that they have is great! I was full before I even cleared the plate of veggies and fishballs that I had gathered! The servers were very attentive and asked us if we wanted more soup when it was running low. The place is very big (hence the large selection) and we even got free dessert at the end (they have a soft serve machine!). read more

Spring Shabu-Shabu - Japanese Near Me - Flushing, New York

This review is late in the making as I've been a loyal customer since they first opened years ago, and to this day I love this place - it never disappoints! Lots of hot pot places in Flushing has come and gone but this one is still packed on weekend dinners and especially during holidays ($23.95 for dinner/weekends/holidays, weekday lunch $20.95, children ages 0-3 is free, children 4-10 is $1.25 x age). Sweet deal, huh? Environment is large, spacious and clean. Service is fast, efficient, and friendly. This is shabu shabu without the extra fluff. I always just eat whatever is available at the buffet since I'm can do without the meat/seafood which can be ordered in addition, since they have the largest variety of veggies I've ever seen, good variety of soy products, variety of balls (meat/seafood/etc), rice cakes, fish cakes, fresh eggs (make your own soft boiled egg) and noodles. Rice and soup you can get yourself too. What I really dig are the small individual pots, so it's great for large groups where you may not feel comfortable sharing the same pot. Eat and cook whatever your heart desires. I always get the spicy pork bone pot, it's decently spicy since I'm a spice addict. They also have other pot broth bases, check out their menu/website. If your broth runs low just ask the waiter/waitress to help top it up. Bonus: soft serve ice cream station :0) Please note: don't waste food! I hope they stay open and popular forever!!! read more

Ambiance: we didn't need a reservation and we walked in Service: the service was good and they have lots of napkins which I appreciate Food $$: The food is a buffet style for shabu shabu. I recommend getting dashi broth and then make your sauces spicy if you like spice. There's endless veggies and options. You can individually order meat and seafood. I just ordered one order of meat and that was enough for me because I was more focused on the veggies and tofu They also have green tea ice cream and pineapple! Audience: Solo Trip [X] Family Friendly [ X] Friends [X] Date Spot [X] Recommendations/tips: I recommend! read more

Tl;dr: One of my favorite hot pot restaurants in the city. Affordable with good variety and quality. Most bang for your buck in terms of price and what they offer, which includes a wide selection of vegetables, mushrooms, noodles, tofu, and fish balls, which all feel like they're pretty good quality. Meat is a la carte, but prices are about $5 per plate and reasonable for how much they give. Sauce bar has good variety. Vanilla and matcha soft serve and pineapple dole whip are a great way to close the meal. Service ranges a little, but they are mostly attentive. Have to give some slack because it can get busy. The facility is clean, and considering the amount of people that go, is quite orderly. Overall, well organized and managed. Is it the most extravagant place? No. But it is delicious, offers a lot, and punches higher than the cost. Only qualm is that the mala broth isn't that spicy/numbing. May have to specifically ask for more spice. read more

Spring Shabu-Shabu - Hotpot with assorted meats, veggies, noodles, and tofu - Japanese Near Me - Flushing, New York

Favorite comfort spot for my girlfriend and I. It's a fun experience being able to just grab whatever food you want to cook in your hotpot. The highlight and differentiator for me is the soft served ice cream machines here. I always look forward to getting the green tea ice cream after a few rounds. I've come here probably at least 10 times in the last two years and I don't think I've ever had any negative experiences here. Staff is always helpful and attentive. Place always seems clean. It's also fun seeing them add more buffet selections over the years. read more

Spring Shabu-Shabu - Japanese Near Me - Flushing, New York

I can't remember this place being so hard to find the first time I went but when I went back not too long ago, it felt like I was going through a maze.. anyway... I do love this place as someone who isn't particularly a huge meat eater! They have such a great selection of meatballs, veggies, noodles, etc. and my fav is their matcha and pineapple ice cream. They also have a variety of broth including pork bone and mala. Huge shoutout to my server who was sooo nice - sorry I didn't catch your name - but she periodically checked in on us to make sure everything was good and was accommodating for my baby and grandma. I think the pricing used to be cheaper but with the additional adds on, it came to about $50/pp so i guess it's much cheaper if you only do veggies. Definitely going back the next time I crave hotpot! read more

We came here for lunch and it cost $47.90 for two adults. We ordered two hot teas (which were free) and ordered a side of beef ribeye for $5.25, paying in total $53.15 before tip. Service was great, we were seated right away and our server Ingrid Valentina was very sweet and helpful! Tables were constantly being bussed which was a nice observation. This place is a great value if you love fresh vegetables, noodles, and fishballs. Meat and seafood are an additional up charge on a different menu. After the beef ribeye we were totally fine loading up on the "free items." There's a great sauce bar where you can create your own condiments and dipping sauces. It varies from fresh herbs like spring onions, cilantro, to ponzu, soy sauce, chili oils etc. the combinations you can create is endless. Fresh veggies were regularly replenished and there were some interesting flavors of fishballs which questionable (there was a cheese fishball that tasted like Kraft cheese stuffed inside and it was our least favorite ball lol). Last but not least I love the self-serve ice cream machines! You can get a sugar cone or cup of either vanilla, green tea, swirl, or Dole Whip pineapple. This was an added bonus since most Asian restaurants desserts are non-existent or they are extremely disappointing. I would definitely come back again, we had a great lunch here. read more

This is where you can get AYCE Japanese hot pot starting from $19.95!! We came all the way to Flushing for their hot pot as we craved something warm and healthy on a NYC cold day. They offer UNLIMITED veggies, noodles, and fish cakes, all nicely displayed in the buffet bar. Although meat and seafood are à la carte, the pricing is still affordable, ranging between $4 to $5.25. Each plate had a decent amount of meat (4oz). My favorite was the beef ribeye as it had the perfect marbling. Soft drinks are sold separately, but you get FREE refills throughout the meal. Lastly, don't miss out their self-service soft serve bar. We got green tea ice cream and dairy-free pineapple dole whip to cool down the palate. Soft serve is extra satisfying after having hot pot. I often worry the hygiene and freshness of ingredients at AYCE spots, but this time I was 100% satisfied by how clean the restaurant was. While the restaurant was really busy on weekends, their service was still very attentive as the servers kept refilling our drinks, broths and cleaning up the empty plates. read more

We got here relatively early late lunch. We waited less than ten minutes for a table for 3. Service was quick and attentive. THERE ARE SO MANY CHOICESSSSS! We each ordered a different broth. The meat is fresh. If you are new to the concept the choices of sauces and everything can be overwhelming. But overall this is a great hot pot spot. The food is fresh. The price is reasonable. The ice cream is delicious! It's casual and bright. read more

I've been coming to Spring since high school and it hits every time. They have a great selection of fish balls and soooo many noodles to choose from. My favorite is the jalapeno fish cakes that not many places seem to have. Note that this hotpot spot is AYCE, but just for fish cakes/noodles/veggies. Meats and seafood are extra per plate. We shared one plate of beef and it was enough. They're always busy so you may want to make a reservation for dinner, but we came during lunch and were seated right away. Not the star of the show, but they have vanilla, green tea, and pineapple soft serve for dessert and there's just something about it that is so perfect to end your meal with. read more

Well deserved 4.5-star review - although my friend said "Yeah, of course people are giving it 5 star reviews - they cooked their own food how they like it !!!" But FR, your price of admission includes unlimited soup & their super massive, clean, & fresh buffet bar. The add on protein plate is almost unneccessary - the buffet is so crazy. Full bar (I did not see it), & cold, fresh Japanese beer on tap. I see why everyone I know goes nutz for this place. Has parking in basement, & also a super complicated parking lot across the street - you have to download an app, give ur CC info, AND text a weird # to be released from the lot. PLEASE - LET MY PEOPLE GO! read more

Solid shabu spot with a great variety of selection. The meat is fresh as well. The broth lacks a bit in flavor, but easy to spice it up with sauce selection. read more

I've been coming here for a a few years now and such a solid AYCE that's great for small or large groups since they do individual pots - not many places in flushing do this! My most recent visit was with a group of girlfriends (7 of us in total on a Friday night) and we had the best time! The service is fantastic, the wait staff is attentive and constantly circling. The broth always hits the spot, and their variety in their buffet is so so huge! My personal fave highlights are the jalapeno fish cakes (not every place has these), and the ice cream bar!! The matcha vanilla swirl is the best way to end this meal! For the value, it is a phenomenal deal, highly recommend!! read more

I went here with my boyfriend and we had a great time eating here. Food: 4/5 You can choose from a wide assortment of noodles/rice cakes, fishballs (get the cheddar fishballs), tofu, fungus, greens, and squashes. I tried everything, and I love how you can cater to your tastes and preferences. There's a self serve sauce bar that has an abundance of different sauce add-ins. I like how the food and the broth feel light. I got the dashi stock which more umami tasting and my boyfriend got the pork bone broth which is more flavorful. I haven't tried the meat here since the buffet price does not include meat. Lastly, we finished off with some dessert: matcha soft serve, vanilla soft serve, and pineapple dole whip. You can even choose between a cup or a cone! I recommend the soft serve--it's delicious. The dole whip is a recent addition. I think it's better suited for the summer and it tastes syrupy. Ambiance: 5/5 Clean and inviting environment. The seating is comfortable. There's an area where you get to pick the vegetables, noodles, and fishball you want to add into your pot. It's always fun, and I always thought the area was well kept. Service: 5/5 One of the servers was so attentive. He took our empty plates, refilled our water, and refilled our pot with broth. When my boyfriend left his seat, his pot was still boiling and about to foam over, but the server swooped in to turn down the heat. Also, if you go on a weekday during lunch, you're likely to get a seat quickly. read more

coming here feels like im feeding at the communal trough in a pig farm but thats also a unique experience when its hotpot. except its definitey not hotpot - its shabu shabu because the soup bases are flavorless and light including the mala I got. the only unique thing this place offers is their dipping sauce bar but i felt many of the sauces were way too sweet or salty even for a sauce. theres always a line at the self serve but none of the vegetables stood out to me and fish balls were flavorless. i thought their beef quality and soy ingredients were decent but also quite boring. it was visually quite clean which is impressive considering the traffic but communal tongs and sticky chairs made me uncomfortable. i dont see the appeal of coming here over doing shabu shabu at home at all. No quail eggs. read more

I've lost track of the number of times I've visited this place throughout the years and the people I've introduced to their first hot pot experience. Each visit is memorable, especially yesterday, when I celebrated my mom's birthday here. I was fortunate to have Jamaica as our server again, and just like before, she was attentive, knowledgeable, and kind. Spring Shabu Shabu in Flushing is an absolute MUST. I'm thrilled that my mom enjoyed one of my FAVORITE restaurants. The pork bone broth is my favorite, especially when paired with the Chinese mala on the side. I really enjoy their homemade noodles, along with the pork belly and beef tenderloin. The gyoza dumplings are incredibly tasty, and I appreciate their in-house veggie options. Since my mom and I both have serious shellfish allergies, I can't comment on the seafood dishes. However, she had her first visit here yesterday, and I can confidently say that my many visits have been trouble-free, unlike my experiences at other places that serve shellfish. read more

Spring Shabu-Shabu - Japanese Near Me - Flushing, New York

We LOVE spring shabu shabu, it by far one of our favorite AYCE hot pot places. We love the one in Boston so when we found out there was one in flushing we came here twice in one week. The service was excellent never once did we have to ask to refill our waters or broth, so kudos! The one thing why I love this place so much is the individual hot pots and it's pretty much catered to you. Which means you can add and have whatever you want unlike the communal hot pots. For me I'm a HUGE veggie lover and my husband loves his red meat so this works well for us. The broths and all the accoutrement on the buffet are so clean and fresh and beautifully displayed. The matcha vanilla ice cream in the end hits the spot because it's so light and refreshing. Perfect combo and such a great way to end a meal.

Spring Shabu-Shabu - Japanese Near Me - Flushing, New York

Spring Shabu Shabu is the ideal AYCE hot pot place for those who are looking for variety and something "lighter" (as light as AYCE hot pot can be lol). The base price for AYCE is only $23 (and even cheaper during weekday lunch), and that includes everything at the buffet bar. Meat is not AYCE, but prices range from $4-$5.25 per 4oz serving, which is honestly a great deal and perfect for those who don't plan on ordering that much meat anyways. If you're the type of person who likes to load up on the meat at AYCE, then this place is not for you. The buffet bar is very expansive and offers a wide array of veggies, mushrooms, meatballs, etc. If you love noodles and veggies, this is the place for you because they had the greatest variety of veggies and noodles I've seen at a hot pot restaurant. Service was decent, though I wish the servers would've checked in on us a bit more often, as there were a few points throughout our meal where our soup would be running low and we would need to flag someone down for a refill. Overall, this is definitely one of my go-to spots for whenever I'm craving hot pot but also want a more balanced, less heavy meal. read more

I've been to the Flushing location twice. Once for an event and another time for my birthday with close friends. For those who do not know what Shabu Shabu is it's a Japanese hotpot dish of thinly sliced meat and vegetables boiled in water and served with dipping sauces. Through the years of trying different Shabu-Shabu restaurants and this one is my favorite / go-to. This place stands out because 1) the variety of veggies, noodles, meats, and fish cakes , it's seriously a wide variety 2) the sides are all you can eat (this part is standard but the quality is top notch) 3) the make your own dipping sauce station is my favorite and I probably made about 6 different sauces last time I visited Very quick service. Once you order your base it comes out quickly. I would suggest taking things slow, don't fill up on noodles or rice before your meat comes out to cook. When I go I usually get: pork bone broth , Whitefish plate , Shrimp , Beef ribeye , Pork belly . On top of the unlimited veggies, noodles, rice this (fish and meat option) could be shared with 4 people. Everyone picks their own broth btw. We didn't make a reservation on a Saturday, we just showed up. Do know you will not be seated until the whole party arrives. I just saw on instagram a new location opened in Westbury Long Island! I can't wait to visit that location as I'm sure it'll have the lovely ambiance and the parking situation will be much better. read more
