First time trying Shabu Shabu and we are sold! Not only was the food fire but the service was A1. (Shout out to Brenda who did a live demo and walked us through step by step!). We ended up choosing the following: -Shrimp Tempura (3/5): standard tempura but a little heavier than I'm use to. -Fries (5/5): seasoned well and crispy! -Soup Base: Sukiyaki (sweet & sour) and Tonkatsu (creamy pork broth). Our fav was the Sukiyaki. -Meats: A5 Wagyu, Wagyu Toro, Pork Belly, green mussels and Salmon Rose. Fav- Wagyu Toro. -Noodles: Ramen (thin) A casual vibe to the Resturant but still nice. Went during a slower time so it was perfect. Will definitely return! read more

Food and service were good! A bit pricey imo but the quality matches the price! Meats were marbled and tender

Update 2024: Would give 0 star if I can... this place is a complete SCAM AND THEIF AVOID AT ALL COST! I dined here Friday at 11:30 AM with a friend as my friend saw that they advertise the $15 lunch special, Food were not fresh (for $15 I did not expect much) and tasted horrible and it caused me food poisoning right after I left. Service...Waiters were rude and gave me and my friend attitude when we asked for one more serving vegetable...when it is refillable according to the other server. What is even more scammy about this place is today my credit card alerted me that on top of the 18% MANDATORY SERVICE TIP (for 2 people dining in) + 3% credit card fee (what?), the waiters tried to charge my card $10 MORE in the tip. I would never tip 42% of my bill for such a horrible service and food. Before you try to scam people, might as well work harder first to make your customer happy or switch job and do not be a scammer. read more

I've been coming to Yoshi since they opened and have seen them through many of their phases.. the days when they had super larger portions you could order like their King Kong/Godzilla. The brothers (owners) would expertly slice your portions. They also had great sides like their beef rice don... so much beef over rice. During Covid, they had to pivot from many of their hot dish appetizers like their beef don, but they maintained a high quality of meat you didn't get at other cheaper hot pot locations. When they began serving their wagyu toro, I would generally order 1-2 orders of that along w 1-2 portions of prime ribeye. I want to emphasize I love large fat portions, but today.. Well, take a look at the picture below. I hate waisting meat, but at a certain point my body couldn't handle it. Instead of 50/50 ratio, it was 70 to 80% fat. I tried biting my lip and just eating it, because I was with my family, but by the end I felt sick and just wanted to throw up. The meal wasn't expensive ($140 for 4), but costs enough where you shouldn't hurl after finishing your food. Genuinely feel so sick and never want to go back ever again (it's that bad). It sucks as this was one of my favorite restaurants for YEARS, where I have spent thousands if not tens of thousands over the years inviting different friends and family members. As I was leaving, I told the waiter, that the fat portion was unacceptable and he merely said oh sometimes it's just that fatty... and with that you just lost a customer for life. read more

Did the NW Plano location last time, did Richardson this time. Parking sucks, point blank, you have to park in a garage. Finding this location within the morass of the complex is a pain. This location is also a little smaller and was understaffed. The food/drink was just as excellent as the Plano location. Succulent meats, fresh veggies etc... and the Happy Hour was nice, 30% off meats and 3$ sake/beer allowed for more proteins and an extra beverage. It's much closer to the house, so I'll probably go back here since I know where to park now and I'll look to do it Mon-Wed (the excellent 30% off - also after 2000 the rest of the week if you like to dine late. read more

Service is wonderful - Taylor was great. Don't forget to ask for a demo if it's your first time. The quality of the meat cuts was great and the Wagyu Ribeye was delicious- had to get a second round of it. I will be back! read more

This shabu shabu place is still great. They had gotten rid of their combo deals years ago, but their new model is $8 base for unlimited veggies, sauces, and rice. You can pay extra for a different soup base or add on noodles. The meats are a la crate and average around $7 each. Me and my partner order around 4 meats with the normal base when we visit. My favorite is still their toro and I love their sesame sauce. The employees here are friendly and service is fast. My hot plate happened to be broken this visit, but they were very apologetic. This place is great for dates. All the other parties in the restaurant was here in parties of 2. I would definitely recommend this location over the Plano one because of the better service. read more

My wife loves shabu shabu. For me my taste likes it, but my stomach does not like it as it makes me have terrible stomach aches. Maybe it is the liquid or maybe it is spice that goes into it. Anyways I ordered the Tonkatsu broth, pork belly and the Wagyu Toro which was great. The rice was good and you get unlimited vegetables if you asked. The service is top notch as well. I do like the peanut sauce as it is addicting. Overall, I would come back here again, but not as much as my stomach can not handle it. read more

Very mid. If you are used to doing hot pot and looking for something like that I would not recommend the place. Granted shabu shabu is slightly different... The food is not bad and tasty, but the price is not worth it when you can go somewhere. They used to offer happy hour and that was more worth it. If you're only coming for vegetables then may be worth it. The meat is good quality i will say Also the servings of noodles are in such a small cup?? Like noodles are not that expensive at least give us a normal serving size when we have to pay additional for them! I will say service is very good! And the ambiance is nice! It's fun to try once, but I'd recommend doing AYCE at another place because you will end up spending $30-$40 per person here anyways read more

First time here from AZ and had the most horrible service ever! The service was super slow from the start to the end. My party and I (9 people) got here right when they opened which was at 11am and nobody sat us down until about 15mins later. After being sat we waited a good 30 minutes before someone came to take our order. We didn't say anything and wanted to give them the benefit of doubt since they just opened. We all ordered water and notice that was taking awhile to come out. We were looking around and they were people who came in after us who already got their food. I started to get upset since we had to wait hours for food to came out to the point where the boiling water pot was almost empty. When the food came out the order got confusing and it that was a big mess too. We got there at 11am and didn't leave until 2:30pm. Overall, it was a bad experience, horrible customer experience, quality wasn't great, and price was expensive. I'm not the one who usually complains but customers deserve to be warned. read more

This place is amazing! The decor and overall aesthetic is really nice and clean. The waitstaff are so helpful with tips and tricks if you have never done shabu shabu before. For the price, you really get a good amount of food. It's delicious, fresh, and worth every penny. read more

Quality of vegetables and meat is decent. 3 stars because you can get go to a lot of other places in the area for hot pot and Shabu Shabu at comparable prices but with more options. $100 pre tax for 3 people - might as well go for AYCE. Feels more like a modern restaurant catering to non Asian populations than an authentic Shabu Shabu restaurant. Service is great though! read more

The food was terrible. I literally could not eat it bc it was unappetizing. Hot water and vegetables---shabu shabu is about the broth/soup. The veggies were dirty: I had a small bug in eat. The meat sub par. It wasn't cheap: they hide all the costs with confusing pricing. It looks cheap but they charge per person $7.50 baseline. They will charge 18% tip automatic, hide a 3 % credit card fee, and then ask for more tip. It's a scam and money grab. Terrible food. They hide all the fees with a really confusing menu. But the worst offense is bad food. Shabuya is great, all you can eat for $21, plus it tastes great. This wanted to copy everything with subpar food & more prices read more

Always love coming here, especially during winter time. Literally my favorite hotpot place when I visit the Dallas area! Just to be clear, it's not AYCE. There are so many options for you to choose from! They also have the courses where you can choose = REASONABLE PRICE~ Have you seen their website too?? I love the design of the their layout! Very anesthetic and very simple to use! Wish they kept the anesthetic theme for their IG too! read more

We visited Dallas and so excited to get in a food venture. We have no expectation aside from good food and experience which I think normal for all. Went to this place and impressed with the setup of the tables. We were so excited and starving. Someone welcomed us and gave us our seats (2 people) - gave us the menu. It took some time before we were assisted. We thought it's normal as it looks like they are short handed. When one of the staff approached us he started to put spring onion in our base then made a comment that we are hoping to do that so we can control the amount. And his face totally changed - and while taking order he was using his phone and totally didn't interest to ask other things we need. (I figured this as I compared his questions to the customer besides our seat) He also forgot the other order and we were assisted by someone else. In short, we have a poor experience with the customer service. The last staff who assisted us was so kind and hopeful to change our experience but the first tall guy staff NO CARE at all. About the food, if you are a person who likes mix and match this restaurant is for you. Which I enjoyed doing but the base doesn't taste well at all. The base was bland and not appealing with our taste buds. One of the observations, they serve peanut sauce which they should consider asking allergies to people first before anything else. The price of the food is way too far for its worth. Comparing to other shabu-shabu we've been to in Dallas - this is the most expensive and poor quality. It is fine to pay more if it compromised with the service and food quality but unfortunately it didn't. I failed to take photos as we were starving but I surely have the receipt photo. We were forced to give tip to unworthy service. We will not go back to this place and hopefully they will improve their customer service and base. read more

Love this place- it's our default for 'what do you want to do for dinner' when we have a babysitter or childless for the evening. Service is always wonderful and fast, food is always top notch, and it's a great value. Also love that they build in gratuity but service is still exceptional. read more

This place is great and I loved the food! I would give it a 5 star review. But, I'm deducting... They added an 18% service charge then without telling us about it. That's unprofessional and very disappointing. Tell the customers about it so they don't get blindsided by it. read more

An easy choice for a filling meal without the AYCE price. We got unlimited veggies, rice & dipping sauces. Kids enjoyed all the food and ate most of it. The portions were perfect & just enough to get us full but not uncomfortable. read more

Wow. Fantastic find! This brought me back to the days my Japanese Grandma used to cook shabu shabu for me before she passed away. Not only is the food delicious but service is top notch!

Spencer in particular gave us a great run down introduction to everything being our first time there, which was much appreciated. We live in Dallas but will definitely be back. read more

*** KNOW BEFORE YOU GO *** This has been our go-to place for over two years now -- and it is definitely the most delicious hot pot of any kind that we have ever had in the Dallas area. For us, it's still FIVE STARS when it comes to quality. But unfortunately our last experience will keep us from coming back. We always order the King Kong Prime Rib for two, $50.00. This is reasonable because it includes unlimited vegetables, rice, and a side of noodles per person. We always walk out full, more than any other all-you-can-eat hot pots. Our server asked us when we arrive, "Have you dined here before?" We said, Yes! We made reservations and were seated the minute we walked in. Our waiter was excellent and very accommodating. He said to let him know if we needed more vegetables. This is why Shabu Shabu is great, they want you to be happy with the blend of your hot pot. As always, we asked for extra mushrooms and spinach. We had a wonderful experience until the bill came. It was $60.00 (plus tip). What? Why the extra $10.00? This is when we learned they no longer offer unlimited vegetables. They now charge $2.50 per request. When were they going to tell us this??? In the past, you were given a vegetable started bowl and then you asked for what you wanted. Now you have to accept whatever they give you (which is mostly leafy greens) and then pay $2.50 extra for what you really want. We did not know every time we requested veggies it cost extra. Honestly, I thought this was super crappy! When we arrived, and our server asked us if we have dined there before (we said yes) -- he should have told us veggies were no longer unlimited. I wonder .. is this new change a way for them to recover from the pandemic? We pass 10 hot pot places to get there, now it's time to explore and find a new place. read more

Decent but pricy and wish they had all you can eat options for the meat/protein. The service was good and their drinks were cheap

Sooooo good! I can't say enough good things about this place. It is freaking delicious. It can be a little costly so maybe reserve it for special occasions but that anticipation just makes it even better. I love Tonkotsu the most but Miso and Creamy Chicken are great as well. The Ribeye and Filet Mignon are just as good as the Wagyu if you ask me. It's hard to go wrong! The staff is excellent too. read more

Place has gone down hill fast. We went back the other night: Same broth we ordered before several times tasted like dish water and service was practically nonexistent (with 18 percent added to bill, was essentially irritating).

Fraudsters. They overcharged my card and added onto their own tips. This was ON TOP of their 18% autogratuity. I would never suggest this place due to unethical business practices and their hidden fees. You can see other reviews where this has happened as well. Check your credit card statements carefully! read more

The place was packed, so definitely make reservations beforehand. We wanted to sit up at the bar because it seemed like it would be a fun experience, but they were all reserved, so we opted for a table. The table for 2 was very ODD. One person sits in the booth while the other person tries to straddle the cooktop knob turner.... It was not comfortable and it was just awkward. Nonetheless, we both squeeze into the booth. The neighbors decided to sit straddling the table, so his back was up against our table..... just odd in tight quarters with hot water and steam, doesn't feel very safe..... but oh well! We order Hot Sake, Wagyu Toro, Prime Ribeye, Salmon (Rose), and the New York Steak. They thinly slice the meat, right here on sight too. You cook the meat yourself in the pot of hot water with your choice of Base, Noodles, and Protein. It's a a super fun experience and great conversations. At the the end of the day, this place is a Fun Time and everything tastes the way you'd like it cooked and dipped in the sauces with sticky rice. The service was alright.... I really Wish they would've taken the time to explain the entire process and preparation among other things. For how small the place is, we had to keep waving down our server.... Which was surprising to us and the drink service was super slow!!! All-in-All..... Fun Times, a true out of the ordinary experience, but Not going out of my way to come back. Just to be honest. read more

I've never visited Richardson and felt that when it comes to Asian food this was a place I needed to visit and so the hunt began. There are so many restaurants there it had my head spinning. So Yelp to the rescue!!!! I spent days trying to figure out whether I would eat Ramen, Pho, Sushi, Chinese, Dumplings etc. But I opted for Hot Pot.. Now it was hours trying to determine where?? OMG!! I was exhausted on the amazing reviews of so many restaurants but I decided on Yoshi and no regrets what so ever. The food was amazing, unlimited veggie which wasn't so bad (slice carrot piece of broccoli slice of mushroom a cube of tofu and plenty of Asian cabbage) a bowl of rice included. It also came with peanut sauce teriyaki and ponzu which I never tried but loved. We were given spice sauce which we used to spice up our broth and went to town. Our wait staff J was spectacular and so attentive. I HIGHLY recommend you give this location a try... It won't disappoint!!! Did I mention the price was worth it read more

Come HUNGRY. This is the type of meal you want to fast the entire day for. The staff is amazing and takes really good care of you. If you're a first timer it can be extremely overwhelming but come with an open mind (and stomach). You get veggies, proteins, and rice or noodles. The broth is amazingly rich and flavorful. the broth is SO good you'll end up eating so many veggies just to taste more of it. Pro-tip 1: leave room at the end for noodles! Pro-tip 2: the tonkatsu broth is really FLAVORFUL, if your waiter gives you a whole bowl, use it sparingly. read more

For amazing Shabu Shabu, look no further! Yoshi's is easily the best Shabu Shabu joint in Dallas, TX. Their service is pretty good, the food selection is great, and they got good adult beverages. I really like how you can order A5 Wagyu Ribeye cuts to cook in the delicious broth. Honestly though, I'm not sure how much better it'd taste (relative to the cheaper cuts) and recommend only ordering the Prime Ribeye. I also think A5 Wagyu Ribeye is best eaten as a thicker grilled steak, not thin cuts in a soup. You must absolutely order this regardless of whatever else you're getting: Gyudon Beef Ribeye - Bowl of rice with beef, white onions in sweet/savory sauce, topped with a fried egg Trust me, this small plate is uber amazing tasting with that sauce they put on it. I'll definitely be back one day to conquer some sake and yummy beef in flavorful broth. read more

Decided to make a quick stop for a Shabu lunch before checking into our hotel. Convenient location in a residential/ retail complex Yoshi Shabu Shabu has tables and counter seating. When we arrived there was another party and the only patrons. No table service so we had to sit at the Shabu counter. The ordering is complex with the soup bases from powder. The sauces are basic sesame and ponzu. The do have garlic, green onions and daikon radish that you can add. Everything is ala carte with the exception of the veggies. We did ask for additional veggies some came some they just forgot. The menu says the meal comes with a choice of noodles but they were all out "huh". Not familiar with the area we just made due. read more

Eric R., Melinda C., and I had a really fun outing here last Friday night as we braved the torrential downpour to drive north on central expressway. We can get hotpot in our little Kansas town, but not shabu shabu. Melinda C. had never tried shabu shabu either. We decided to order a combo for two people with 5 proteins to share, and the third person would cost $9 for veggies, noodles, rice, and sauce. We chose NY strip, choice ribeye, wagyu ribeye (extra cost), salmon, and scallop. We were given teriyaki, sesame peanut, and ponzu sauces, which were adorned with garlic, grated daikon, and green onion. Eric R. ordered a sapporo on draft but it came out in a bottle. They explained it the menu was wrong but lowered the price for him. Melinda C. and I ordered a yuzu lemonade which was really delicious! The menu also mentioned matcha lemonade, so next time...! Our server was very friendly and explained everything to us. Eric R. added a tonkotsu base, I stuck with traditional konbu but asked for the sides of bonito, nori, and jalapenos, and Melinda C. ordered sukiyaki base which came with an egg. Eric R. got ramen, and Melinda C. and I chose udon noodles, but clear glass noodles are the gluten free option. The server really wanted to show us how to do things, which is nice, but she kept trying to use the same pair of wooden chopsticks to demonstrate. She started with Eric R.'s bowl and tried to use those chopsticks to touch my vegetables and broth. I had to tell her multiple times I do not eat pork and do not want these chopsticks from his pork broth in my food. I must have told her three or four times to stop using them near my food, and Melinda C. even told her once. Then another worker tried to use them because they were put in a communal utensil holder with what should have been spoons for us to use, but now I could not use those either. I had to tell him not to use those either. Besides that, we enjoyed our food. I asked for a few cubes of tofu and was given a giant bowl of it, and then when our soups were made with the finished broth and noodles, the tofu I added in there was taken out by the server which was a bit weird. To make soups at the end, they mix a soy sauce and fish sauce base and add the broth from the finished shabu shabu pot, the noodles, and any remaining veggies. They also offered to add the garlic and green onions too. All of us were stuffed so we took our soups to go and ate them for lunch the next day. It really is a good deal to get two meals out of it and it is cool they do not restrict people from taking the soups to go after eating, which some hot pot restaurants do. I would consider returning if I could make sure I can control my own cooking and utensils, but I think they are so eager to have us enjoy the experience that they were not thinking about cross-contamination or allergy restrictions, so I do not think it was intentional. We just had to speak up a lot to prevent me from not being able to eat any of my food. Itadakimasu! read more

Such a cool experience! This is a great spot for a hands on dinner experience. Otherwise known as a "hot pot" experience. Ha. You get to choose from numerous different meats that are thinly sliced and cook them in your broth of choice! Staff and cooks are very friendly and help by explaining the experience and how to cook your meats. Ambiance is a good mix between laid back and making the vibe whatever you're feeling for the moment! Highly recommend! I even find myself craving the food weekly! read more
