    What broth options are vegan friendly?

    I believe they only have one vegetable stock option? Otherwise it's typically pork, chicken or fish stock? But you can always spice up the veggie stock with Chinese spice

    Are any of the broths gluten free?

    Do they take reservations?

    I checked their website and they do take reservations.

    Can someone provide price and menu?

    Mikiya continues to be my favorite wagyu shabu house chain. I've been to the Houston and Los…read moreAngeles locations, and I'm happy to say the Las Vegas location delivers the same high quality food and excellent service. The wagyu and ingredients were fresh, the broths were flavorful, and everything was consistently great from start to finish. Our server, Christina, was amazing. She was incredibly attentive, friendly, and took the time to answer all of our questions without ever making us feel rushed. Her service made an already great meal even better. It's always nice when a restaurant chain maintains the same standards across different locations, and Mikiya absolutely does. I highly recommend this location, and I'll definitely be back the next time I'm in Las Vegas.

    The food was good, and this was my first time here. I've been eating shabu-shabu for over 30 years,…read moreand I enjoyed the ponzu and goma sauces and the vegetable selection. Our server was also very nice and attentive. My disappointment is with how the menu options were presented. I arrived at noon for lunch and was only given the full-price all-you-can-eat menu. Based on what I was shown, I thought the $45 tier was the least expensive option available. When discussing the different tiers with my server, I explained that I really wasn't interested in all the extra sides and additional items--I was simply looking for meat, vegetables, and rice. He even tried to talk me out of choosing the lowest $45 tier, but at no point was I told there was a separate lunch menu. It wasn't until AFTER I had eaten and received my bill that I asked whether there was a standard menu where you could order a smaller meal. That's when I was handed the lunch menu for the first time. I was honestly shocked. The lunch menu was exactly what I had been looking for from the beginning and would have been plenty of food at a price that fit my budget much better. Had I been presented with it when I arrived for lunch at noon, I absolutely would have ordered from it. Instead, I ended up spending around $70 on lunch because I believed the $45 all-you-can-eat tier was the lowest option available. I understand that I could have specifically asked whether there was a lunch menu, but when you arrive at noon for lunch, I don't think you should have to know to ask for a menu that isn't presented to you--especially after explaining that you're only looking for meat, vegetables, and rice. Good food and genuinely good service, but discovering a more appropriate lunch menu only after I had finished eating and received my bill left me feeling really disappointed and unfortunately overshadowed my first experience.

    Zero starts. Highly NOT recommend…read more January 10th, 2026 Saturday @806pm Very disappointed. The last time I came. The food was excellent! This time, it was like a totally different restaurant. Everything I asked for on the menu "we ran out" What?!?! No soy pork, no tonkatsu, no shrimp tempura, no shrimp tempura roll. I was told "they don't want to make it" I replied, "well they need to make it, it's on the menu and we are paying for it" he said he will try and ask again. The hot Food on the line was old and stale, hard like rock. Shrimp tempura, calamari, NOT crispy broccoli. Service: horrible. We had to call out for help every time we needed some thing. Couldn't even get water in a timely manner. It looks like the bus boys were waiting the tables. I have no words. Highly not recommended!

    My husband and I had dined here for the first time in December 2025. My impression at the time was…read morethat it was a decent place for a meal of both KBBQ and hot pot, at an unbeatable price ($19.99 for lunch and $25.99 for dinner). I had liked that we could get both KBBQ and hot pot without needing to pay any extra fees. The spicy mala broth was pretty good. They had a decent selection at their self-serve veggie and seafood bar (including crabs, baby octopus, clams, mussels). For dinner, they had a lot of meat options (variety of pork, beef and lamb), although the meats came out overly defrosted and would clump together in 1 mushy piece on the plates. The sauce bar, however, was definitely the worst I've ever experienced at a hot pot restaurant in Vegas. They had just the most basic of basics (e.g. soy sauce, ponzu, sesame oil, fish sauce, hoisin, green onions, garlic, jalapenos, etc.) plus some odd ones like Tapatio and a gochujang-based sauce. Overall, both the KBBQ and hot pot were subpar but I thought U Shabu's advantage was getting both for a price better than anywhere else in Vegas. We decided to go back this past weekend and wow, our experience was so much worse that we decided we wouldn't be returning again. First, only large tables are equipped with 2 grills for KBBQ and hot pot. Since those were taken (there were only 4 tables available to be used despite the back of the restaurant having more large tables), we had to choose between KBBQ and hot pot. Second, the self-serve veggie and sauce bars were in serious need of being restocked but no one ever did during our whole meal... see pictures attached... even the most basic ingredient (napa cabbage) was out. Third, service was incredibly slow and inattentive. It seems to be a combination of being understaffed and having poorly trained wait staff. Only a quarter of the restaurant was full and there only seemed to be 1 waiter, who also doubled as the host and who for the most part was difficult to find. Having to wait to find him and flag him down for water/more meat/our bill was painfully slow every time. Fourth, they increased prices as of January 2026 (lunch $23.99 and $28.99) without any proof of quality to justify this, making you better off getting higher quality kbbq or hot pot for a similar price anywhere else. Fifth, the place seemed so unsanitary. Tables were never bussed while we were there. We had plates stack up at our table and rarely would someone notice and get them, only to place them on a neighboring empty and dirty table. And finally, sixth, the only music they ever seem to play here is someone's predominantly Drake/The Weeknd, explicit, expletive-laden playlist. In summary, if you go here, expect subpar kbbq and/or hot pot (depending on if you're lucky to get seated at the 2-grill table). Expect some ingredients to be out of stock. Expect slow service and loud explicit music. Unfortunately, will not be back. I don't foresee U Shabu lasting too long. (I also happened to get food poisoning the next morning, unsure if this was the exact cause.)
