    First time here!! I walked in and ordered. They said it would be a 20 minute wait. So I ordered a glass of wine. Which the guy poorer extra for the wait. Very nice! But the food was done a lot sooner. I was still able to sit at the bar and sip on my wine. As I was finishing a female employee came to ask if I needed water. Very nice and needed before I rushed home to eat my food after downing a glass of wine. She wanted to make sure I made it home safe. Very much appreciated. The decor inside was nice. Modern/traditional. You could tell there were regulars in attendance. That always says a lot!! As for the food. Good quality sushi, and the Spicy edamame and Bulgogi!! Sushi fell a part a bit because it was surrounded by the hot food. Overall yummy! Totally worth the wait and we will be returning

    This was our first time visiting. We went on a Friday evening, 5p, during Happy Hour. The place is a good size, clean and cozy and the staff is super friendly. Our waiter explained some of the items on the menu, and he even suggested we get a different menu item as we'd get more food if we did. The food items were delicious. We originally were going to get just appetizers, but we figured we'd try a meal as well. The ramen bowl had a nice touch of spice, and they give you so much I actually ate over the course of two days. The teriyaki chicken was good. My wife would have preferred a bit more sauce, but I'm sure they would have given it to us had we asked. All in, we spent about $70, including tip and 2 small Sake Bombs

    First timer and we will be back. Clean. Great service. Amazing food! My kids loved it. Large portion for chicken katsu dinner. Sunrise roll was super yummy. Love the low sodium soy sauce on the table. Excited to see happy hour deals and the sashimi was nice and large. Excited to return and love that it's in Ahwatukee! Came for the lunch special. Got the sashimi plate. Fresh and delicious!

    After looking on Yelp for dinner recommendations on July 21, 2023, we decided on Tabe-Mono. Get this............I have nothing negative to report! LOL It started well when I called ahead and asked about the wait time. A lady who didn't quite understand me got a gentleman to take my question. He responded in a friendly, inviting way. For those of you that read my reviews, you know I'm a hard judge when it comes to Japanese cuisine. For me, I wait until I visit California, New York, Vancouver B.C. and Japan for grand Japanese food. As for the greater Phoenix area, I think the choices are limited for us but there are a few places I'd frequent again. Cherry Blossom Noodle Cafe, Hana Japanese Eatery and now Tabe Mono. I like the food at Tabe Mono! It's true that Tabe can't compare authentic tastes to Cherry Blossom or Hana but Tabe does execute sushi rolls and tempura well! Their salmon skin roll ($4.95 on Happy Hour ) rice to filling balance was perfect. The nori was NOT chewy like the last restaurant we dined out at. Their Las Vegas roll ($8.95 Happy Hour) was delicious. So good we ordered two! The flash frying of the batter was done just right and was served with the ideal amount of eel sauce. (Not over saturated.) I also like their vegetable tempura. ($4.95 Happy Hour) It was refreshing to enjoy a light, crispy batter on the vegetables- similar to what my mom would cook. Service was attentive and polite. The other diners looked happy and a few of the regulars strolled in with their kids. This created a positive ambiance. I sipped the last of my sake as we were getting ready to leave and thought, I'd definitely return!

    3 item lunch special with shrimp tempura roll wrapped in soy paper, tempura mix, and gyoza. Free soup salad and rice, total 13.95!

    This place has been on my list to check out for quite some time, and now that I've been I'm bummed I have an already been going! You've GOT TO TRY try thlunch special! What a phenomenal deal, and totally customizable based on your tastes. Lisa was our server and did a phenomenal job with great customer service, and awesome suggestions. Ambience was very chill and comfortable, and the sushi chef was also very friendly. Can't wait to come back and bring more people to this hidden gem. And wow, I'm not vegan but that vegan portion of the menu is pretty impressive.

    Lunch special - 3 items for around $15

    Still a great lunch spot every time we go there. It is the best Japanese food in the general area. The food is always excellent, and you can choose from a wide range of choices in their lunch specials. The sushi is really good here, if you don't order from the lunch specials, all of the rolls and sashimi I've tried here are really good. It was very quiet when we went there after the typical lunch hour had finished, so the service was also fast. Recommended!

    Vegan menu
    Deedee W.

    I love coming here! The service is incredible (and knowledgeable), the ambience lovely and the food is amazing. To top it off, they have a couple different "adds" to the menu we generally don't see at sushi restaurants. For one there is an extensive vegan menu. The servers are very well versed in vegan and will explain to you how they make it and what is in the dish. They also have a Japanese dish called Shabu Shabu. My understanding (havent tried it yet, but next trip!) it is a broth that comes with different veggies and beef, if you eat beef, where they bring everything for you to cook at the table! How fun is that?! They are large so it is a shareable and also available in vegan. My last note for everyone is their happy hour. They have an extensive roll, appetizer and drink menu that is priced perfectly! You can try so many different rolls at a fraction of the regular price. Just make sure you get there before 6pm when it is over! Make sure to search out and try Tabe-Mono. It will not disappoint!

    We pulled up about 30 min til closing. There was nobody else in the restaurant and we asked if they were okay to serve. The staff was more than welcoming, asked us to please come in and enjoy a meal. Not only was the service here great, but the food and ambiance were too. I also thought it was incredibly cost effective compared to other sushi spots. We'll definitely be back!

    Vegan sashimi and vegan monsoon roll - delicious!!
    Lori A.

    The service here was excellent! I wish I could remember his name, but our server was super friendly and attentive. We learned so much about this style of eating. We started with the vegan monsoon roll which was amazing! We were also served some complimentary vegan sashimi which was just like the real thing. We then had the vegan Shabu-Shabu (hot pot). It came with an excellent variety of vegetables, udon noodles, tofu, vegan shrimp and vegan ham, steamed rice and sauces. We loved it all except for the vegan ham. It just didn't seem to go with the meal. Next time I'll skip that and ask for more tofu. They have so many other vegan options on the menu as well, so we will definitely be back soon!

    Monsoon Roll and shrimp crunchy roll, both vegan friendly!
    Tyrone F.

    We were intrigued by their vegan friendly hotpot and menu... vegan friendly?? More like vegan family!! We enjoyed the vegan menu and the servers were very well versed on the menu and what it offers. Hotpot vegan set includes sashimi, and for the hotpot, we got bacon, shrimp, (both vegan!) tofu and a assortment of vegetables. It was so helpful that the server recommended to warm up the shrimp and bacon, because if you left it in there too long, it can overcook. It was a great tip. Everything we ordered was delicious! I was most impressed with the monsoon roll and the popcorn shrimp! Honestly, so good! The shrimp was fresh and crispy, again, it's vegan. And my husband never gets to eat sushi, yet today he was able to, and it was on point! I was so surprised the monsoon roll was vegan!

    Barb H.

    I will definitely be returning to this lovely gem. As a vegetarian I'm often baffled by how little creativity most sushi restaurants have when it comes to offering a few slightly better than basic rolls but I'm happy to say this wasn't the case w/Tabe-Mono. I loved my rolls! The server was wonderful and described what was in each so I went with one of his recommendations. Beautiful presentation and delicious! I loved the service as well, they work as a team and everyone was on point! Friendly, knowledgeable and super attentive, what more could you want? Both my other half and myself were very pleased with our experience. Can't wait to visit again, just wish we lived a bit closer.

    We had a large group of 20 today that surely put their staff to the test. The food was all good and service was fair considering the number of diners. I really like the changes they made to the decor although they are not finished.

The concept is really fun and unique. When you walk in, you scan a QR code at your table to place your order, if you need help they are there to help you, and your meal is brought to your table in a boiling hot pot that continues to cook your food. I ordered the vegetable hot pot with lamb on the side, my daughter got the kimchi dumpling hot pot, and her friend ordered the seafood hot pot. Everything came out steaming hot, fresh, and full of flavor. If you need more broth, they're happy to bring you extra. The atmosphere is calm, and relaxing, making it a great place to enjoy a meal. They also serve complimentary green tea, which was such a nice touch. It reminded me of going to Chinese restaurants as a kid when they would bring hot tea to the table. It brought back wonderful memories. The regular size was more than enough food for me, and the staff were incredibly welcoming, kind, and quick to prepare and serve everything. I definitely recommend Tasty Pot if you're looking for a comforting, flavorful meal and a fun dining experience. I'll definitely be back again!

This is not like the typically hot pot spots where they bring you the broth and meats/veggies separately to cook yourself. You pick a "soup" premade and it comes to your table in a hot clay pot. It's a bit heavier broth. Definitely not what my taste buds enjoy. However my husband liked it. I don't think I'll dine here again only because I prefer the cook myself experience, simple ingredients, and lighter broth.

The broths are so flavorful, and I love that it's all-you-can-eat.

After that, you grab a plate and head to the buffet where you can load up on vegetables, noodles, seafood, and so many other options. They have a huge seafood selection, which is one of my favorite parts. There's also a station where you can make your own dipping sauce exactly how you like it, plus a little dessert section with cookies to finish off your meal. The atmosphere is super laid back, making it a great spot to stop by after work without feeling like you need to dress up. They had the World Cup playing on some TVs and anime on others, which made the vibe even more fun. My only downside was their pricing. When I first went, they had a "summer deal" where unlimited hot pot was around $25. When I came back in July, the promotion had already ended. I think calling it a "June special" instead of a "summer deal" would have been less confusing. Overall, I definitely recommend PK Shabu if you're looking for a great all-you-can-eat hot pot spot with quality broths, tons of fresh options, and a relaxed atmosphere!

It's located in an outdoor shopping center, and although the restaurant is on the smaller side, the interior design and decor reminded me of many of the Korean BBQ restaurants back home in California. It felt cozy and authentic. This is not an all-you-can-eat restaurant. We ordered the Small Beef Combo, 2 side of rice, Korean dumplings, and the strawberry basil lemonade. The only unlimited items are the traditional Korean side dishes. We were served five different banchan along with two salads. While they didn't bring every available side dish, the ones we received were actually very good. Unfortunately, the service is what ruined the experience for me. Our server, Huy, was also serving my friends' family seated at the table next to us. They had ordered the same Small Beef Combo. When Huy started grilling our brisket, he accidentally dropped one of our slices of meat onto the floor. He paused, clearly noticed it, and so did everyone at our table. However, there was no apology, no acknowledgment, and no offer to replace the piece. He simply continued cooking as if nothing had happened. A few moments later, he placed a Prime Ribeye on our grill. I told him we hadn't ordered that cut--it belonged to my friends' table. He then picked up the entire plate of raw ribeye from our grill and transferred it to their table. Even though they were our friends sitting right next to us, that didn't seem like proper food handling. When I mentioned the mix-up, he simply said the kitchen had made a mistake. Again, there was no apology. Toward the end of the meal, it seemed like Huy realized I was unhappy, but he never addressed either incident. The missing piece of brisket wasn't a significant financial loss, and the food itself was good. My disappointment was with the service. Mistakes happen in every restaurant. What matters is acknowledging them, apologizing, and making a reasonable effort to make things right. A simple apology and replacing the dropped piece of meat would have completely changed my impression. Because of the service, I don't plan on returning, which is unfortunate because the food and atmosphere were otherwise enjoyable.

When we asked for the third time, we finally asked that the appetizers be cancelled since we had already finished our meal. At that point, the gentleman working the front area , tall, with red hair, loudly yelled from across the restaurant, in an extremely rude and confrontational tone, "It's already on the grill!" There was absolutely no reason to speak to paying customers that way. His response was unprofessional, unnecessary, and honestly created a very hostile and uncomfortable feeling during what should have been an enjoyable dinner, especially while our group was on vacation and simply trying to enjoy a meal together. When the appetizers eventually came out, we left them sitting there because we were already done eating and ended up taking them to go. He eventually told us they would be removed from the bill, which we appreciated, but that did not excuse the way the situation was handled. Again, the food was good, but good food does not make up for poor service and especially not for an employee speaking to customers in an aggressive and disrespectful manner. Management should seriously address how customers are treated, because the interaction with this particular employee overshadowed what could have otherwise been a good dining experience for our party of 12.

    This was my first time ever trying hot pot and I was blown away by the experience…read more I not only had an amazing time and fun learning, but the owner's hospitality was top tier. I advised her prior that I'm a newbie and she taught me how to get going. Once I felt comfortable enough, I ended up ordering so much food, I was stuffed. The kimchi broth and lemongrass broth are amazing and she informed me that they make them all homemade! Everything from the meat to the sauces (besides the soy) was homemade. Please please please try the sesame sauce! It is hands down one of the best sauces I have ever tried. You will not regret it. Besides a great experience, the vibe was so chill and the entire location was spotless. I will definitely be coming back again and recommending this to all my friends and family. Did I mention it is ALL YOU CAN EAT

    Terrible service today I've came to eat at BoSa Shabu in Tempe AZ since grand opening every Friday…read morewe eat here never ever have I've had an issue until today. A new waitresses told me they couldn't serve us because we had to tip higher then other times I don't know if it's because I'm Hispanic or she was trying to pull a fast one. She told me this in front of every white and Asian person there we were the only Hispanics at the moment was so humiliating and embarrassing. After I asked her why she would assume or say that she said some one in the back kitchen said it and told me she couldn't tell me or give me her name or the owners name. So disappointed and disrespected disgusted!
