    Not too Shabu. See what I did there lol. Located in the plaza that houses Pierre 88 and several other restaurants, there is plenty of parking here. It was noon when we arrived and surprisingly very quiet. Greeted as we walked in and we're told to choose a table. Hungry Monster of course choose the one closest to the food bar. It's clean here, I mean, eat of the floor type of clean. You know we love clean. In fact there is sanitizer at every table. Our server was very attentive to us. She knew exactly what each meat was even after Monster accidently spread them on the table for photos. LOL, all good. Today was Holiday special do lunch and dinner was included in our AYCE price. The menu is really simple. Choose your broth, 2 if you want. What ordered Tonkotsu/House broth All beef meat Lamb Shrimp Bacon wrap Gyoza Shrimp tempura Conclusion Hungry Monster is happy. We have no complaints. Rating of 4 stars is for now. We want to see the whole experience with a full bar. But for what we experienced for a quick lunch and my last review for the year, it was really worth it. We will be back next year. Thank you Sarah for your dope customer service. Happy New Year UShabu!!

    Kbbq grill and hot pot

    They charged us a 26% tip with no fore warning‼ The server was not great -- the building is big and they had one server and one bus boy. Could never find him but he was nice when we found him. They were nice for letting us switch tables though. There is a buffet style place for you to order non-meat items for the hot pot. Lots of seafood and vegetable options. Good pre-cooked food options too! There was bulgogi with carmelized onion to order, gyoza was yummy and crispy! The best meat was the beef belly--we cooked it on the kbbq grill with sukiyaki broth. Additionally we cooked the shrimps with heads on the side of the kbbq grill and it was yummy. Got the vegetarian broth on one half of the hot pot where we cooked veggies to keep the soup clear.

    $25 for dinner or $20 for lunch is a crazy deal for AYCE Shabu. They also have a grilling option for Korean BBQ but we didn't try that part. So this place has all your typical accompaniments when it comes to AYCE Shabu plenty of choices for seafood, vegetables, and the must have sauce bar. They also have choices of sush rolls and various hot items that are ordered from the server, although I didn't order any of those. Service was fine and pleasant, plus the place was clean. Definitely will be back for that deal again.

    Other than hot pot or grill, they also got to-go bento boxes.

    Under new owner and new menu where you can grill and/or hot pot. There's also small sushi options included for $25.99 for dinner. Service is not bad for one server running around. He's very sweet and calls everyone aunty and uncle lol.

    It's a hot pot and also Korean BBQ YOU CAN DO BOTH! Buffet style you can pick out your own veggies for the hot pot and all the sides you want self serve

    It's been a month since the new mgmt took over and they had a promotion that was $15.99 for lunch till 3/19. After that, it will be $19.99 every day for lunch. The hot items are not available at lunch time, only at dinner time. The place is huge, has plenty of tables and the buffet has good options, ranging from different types of noodles, greens, salad, and seafood. The lunch option gives you about 6 diff cuts of protein (pork shoulder, pork belly, beef round, beef chuck, briskets and belly). The seafood items like octopus, shrimp, clams, mussels, fish balls, square fish pieces, dried fish pieces, etc, are all at the buffet, no need to order thru the waitstaff. They have quite a few diff types of noodles: rice (small and fat ones), rice cakes, udon, yellow noodles. The salad items has some westerns types (potato, macs), seaweed, edamame etc. The sushi bar has about 4 diff rolls (I didn't try any). The greens had zuchini, cabbage, bokchoy, cilantro etc. The sauce bar has various sauces, chopped garlic and scallions, etc. There were 2 types of mushrooms, raw eggs, peppers of diff kinds etc. The dessert section is limited and lacking to only jellos, orange slices, and cut up apples. After you are seated and have selected your choices of broth, you can roam free to select you buffet items. I like that it has a lot off items for you but everything seemed quite sparse. Maybe don't want to waste food by putting too much out since the turnover seems low. There were only about 4 other parties when we were there at lunch time (between 12noon to 2-ish). 3 things I noticed though that could work against them: 1) The hotpots are very shallow and small, making it challenging to put much in there. 2) the bathroom smells bad, not because it isn't clean but more from the sewer. 3) lots of selections but they are all quite sparse in the buffet areas, making it unappealing BUT I get why they can't put too much out for fear of not being able to "sell out" fast enough and may end up tossing everything out. Give them a try so they can sustain the business!

    Our party of 6 came in on a Friday night for a birthday dinner around 6:30p. Despite not making a reservation, we were seated right away. The place was not overcrowded. We've been here multiple times on Friday nights. The excellent food quality and service have remained consistent. :)

    Do they have alcohol yet?

    waiting for the liquor license, will be here soon!

    How long is usually the wait to get a table on weekends?

    Saturday was no wait! I was surprised

    Is there still some type of per person or table limit when you order meat items or has this changed? Will not return if this still exsists.

    I think it has changed. I went last week and no one said anything about limits.

    We decided to check out this BBQ restaurant after seeing the high ratings across multiple review…read moreplatforms, so I'll admit our expectations were pretty high. It's located off the Strip in a somewhat hidden, out-of-the-way plaza, which gives it more of a local, low-key feel. One thing I noticed right away was that the menu posted in the lobby didn't have prices, but the menu behind the register did. They have a huge selection of food, so there are plenty of options to choose from. We ordered the burnt ends, brisket, mac and cheese, chicken sliders, meatloaf, mashed potatoes, coleslaw, and cornbread. The brisket was unfortunately overcooked, although the burnt ends were good. The meatloaf was okay but definitely not the best I've had. The mac and cheese was good, and the mashed potatoes were actually really good. The chicken sliders were just okay, and the cornbread didn't really stand out. Overall, I was a little disappointed because the reviews had me expecting something exceptional. Everything was decent, but honestly, the meal was pretty mediocre for me. Nothing was terrible, but nothing really blew me away either. I'd still give it four stars because there were several good items, the menu has a lot of variety, and our overall experience was fine. However, based on the ratings, I definitely expected more.

I've been chasing that Texas BBQ high ever since, so when my parents said they loved this place, I had to check it out on my next visit. The brisket and beef dino rib were absolutely the stars -- cooked and seasoned perfectly, fall-apart tender. I loved it so much I looked up their pitmaster and, sure enough, he's from Texas. Definitely tracks. The brisket musubi was also a total knockout, a great nod to Vegas being the "ninth island." Their habanero BBQ sauce had just the right hint of spice to cut through the fat, and the Brussels sprouts and cornbread sides were great too. Can't wait to come back and do this all over again.

We ordered the meaty beans as well but they forgot to give them to us so no idea All in all. I would go back for the out of this world pastrami It's alittle hole in the wall kind of place.

However, once our server came over, the first thing he told us was that they were out of ribs and pork burnt ends. On a Saturday night at 6 p.m., being out of the two most popular items on the menu was frustrating. Since we had heard such great things about this restaurant, we thought everything else must be amazing, but unfortunately, that was not the case. We ended up ordering brisket and pork, both of which were extremely dry, and the sauces were honestly terrible. While my daughter wanted to run outside, my husband took her out for a moment. During that time, someone from the grill was bbqing and told him that the ribs would be ready in 10 minutes. We were confused because we would have gladly waited 10-20 minutes for ribs if we had been given that option. Instead, our server simply told us they were out for the night. We had to track him down multiple times for soda etc. I asked the woman at the front for the manager's card because I wanted to share our experience. Within five minutes, the manager came out to speak with us. We explained what had happened, but he cut us off, defended the server, and told us oh he's so sorry to hear that. I was not expecting anything from him, but a simple explanation and a willingness to listen to the customer would have gone a long way. Unfortunately, we will never be back and could advise everyone to try rolling smoke house up the street!

Today we came back again hoping for a better experience, and we were told they were basically closing the kitchen because they were so backed up and asked if we still wanted to wait. Based on our previous experiences, we decided to just leave. The food is good, but after this happening three times in a row, it seems like there's a serious issue with how the kitchen is being managed.
