"You want a birthday destination that’s casual, not boring, and fun without being, like, too fun (last year’s humiliating karaoke video receipts never die). Shabu Club it is. The Japanese shabu spot in the Richmond is great for groups, and all-you-can-eat pork, lamb, and beef is the best gift you can give yourself. Pack in around a vat of bubbling spicy miso soup, show off your meat-twirling skills—and save room for the free red bean or matcha ice cream they pass out at the end of dinner. Oh, and, you get one free AYCE dinner if you come with more than six people on your birthday. " - julia chen 1, ricky rodriguez
