Shabu-shabu restaurant · Inner Richmond

"Anyone looking to spend 90 minutes with a life-sized bespectacled cat plushie and a carnivore’s dream spread should get to this quirky AYCE hot pot place ($41-54 per person) in the Richmond (you can also order a la carte, but that’s less fun). Each pot fits two flavors—when in doubt, go for the spicy garlic miso and 20-hour tonkotsu. As with any hot pot place worth its weight in meat, everything is endless. Keep the unlimited, paper-thin wagyu slices coming, along with the meatballs that you can plop out of a little wooden chute straight into the soup. And save room for the free bowl of kinako ice cream, a much-needed refresher after all that boiled meat." - julia chen 1, patrick wong, ricky rodriguez
