Oseyo Shabu Shabu

Oseyo Shabu Shabu in Pasadena is hands down one of the best dining experiences in the area! The fresh, high-quality meats and flavorful broths make the shabu shabu experience top-notch. I highly recommend the vintage rib eye—it’s incredibly tender and juicy. The beef tataki roll is also a standout, with perfectly seared beef and a tangy, savory sauce that’s absolutely delicious. For dessert, don’t skip the churro with ice cream—crispy churros paired with creamy ice cream are the perfect sweet ending to an already fantastic meal. The atmosphere is warm, and the service is attentive and friendly. Whether you're here for the shabu shabu or one of the other amazing dishes, Oseyo is a must-try!

This is a great place if you crave for mini hotpot for 1 or 2. The combo offers ultra fresh meat and veggies, along with udon and rice. I ordered the signature sukiyaki combo and it tasted great! Their beef comes with great quality and taste. Also I’d highly recommend the beef tataki roll and the soft shell crab as appetizers, so yummy and flavorful. The service is 10/10!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Had a great experience here! The two-person shabu shabu set was super generous with fresh ingredients and tasty broths. I loved the spicy miso base, and the takoyaki and scallop sushi were delicious. The service was warm and attentive without being too much, which really made the meal feel relaxing. Definitely recommend if you’re in the area!

Found O’seyo Shabu Shabu while hanging out in Pasadena， bright, clean, and such a great spot for solo hot pot or a chill meal with friends. The set includes broth, meat, veggies, udon, and rice. We went for the XL Angus beef and short rib，super fresh and really hit the spot!

Friendly staff and clean inside and restroom. It's a good price, and they give you a nice amount of vegetables, udon, and egg. After your meal, you also get a small slush.

Nice cozy shabu shabu spot in the 626! Love their trio selections. You get generous amount of veggies and nice portion of protion. Great solid spot on a cold day or anytime you're in the mood for shabu.

Updated on 3/5/25 Latest trip and was amazing again. Their service and food does set them apart. The broth tastes like soup and not watered down like other places, which is nice. Quality of meat is wonderful as well and the service is always spot on. Allows us to add the spicy drops to our own liking again, not like other places who treat it like liquid gold or something. Always spot on with more sauces and condiments as well. Obviously, will be back again and again. So they keep surprising me in a good way every time we go. Whether it’s the service, food or both. We stopped by for outdoor dining to find out they only had takeout or delivery today (Tuesday’s). We were pretty hungry and don’t live close by so we ordered from the take out menu options, pre-cooked. It was amazing. Same great food, but pre-cooked. They happened to recognize us and know we love the spicy drops, pickles, and Goma sauce and it was already packed for us in the bag. Yes, we were hungry but everything tasted sooooo great. The new item for me was the spicy tomato. Never tried it before and happy I did. Didn’t really taste like I expected and certainly not like an American version of tomato soup. Had a slight tomato taste mixed in with a beef broth base with some spice as a kicker. Amazing. We ordered some extra meat and veggies in case the $10.95 pre-cooked bowl wasn’t enough, but have to say it was plenty. Very happy to have some leftovers for tomorrow though. Will be back soon for both dine in and take out options very very soon! Thanks O’seyo!!! ———- One of the best Shabu spots for food and service. Really nice take out specials as well. Can’t wait to go back. Just adding a few pics from the last visit. All was awesome again and take out specials seem pretty good. Will have to try them. Update 1/4/22 Obviously one of our regular spots. Took a little break due to Covid and having a new furry member of the family. Only wish they were pet friendly, but we get it. Food and service is always great and happy they have most of their specials and menu items on the menu. Feast for two is a great deal, especially if you go with the sake :) Beef for my GF and lamb for me, with soft crab app and churro for dessert. Delish!

This super unassuming strip mall restaurant has some of the best of shabu shabu I've ever had in Los Angeles with superlative Service. Don't even bother with you all you can eat hot pot places this place will fill you up. I was just incredibly impressed at how kind the staff were as well to my daughter and myself. We ordered two meat specials and I gave her all of the meat so that I could have mine vegan and they brought me out extra tofu and were super cool about the whole thing.

The service was great. They do have limited seating and it's quite popular on the weekend, so get there early or be prepared to wait a little bit. The quality of food is great for the price. I do personally prefer the karubi(beef short rib). I think it's a good fat to meat ratio. It's absolutely worth it to get a broth that's more than the regular shabu broth. I got the sukiyaki and it was sweet and imparted a lot of flavor into the vegetables and meat. There was table side freshly ground sesame seed, green onions, minced garlic, chili oil etc to be able to make the dipping sauces to your liking. They have the two basic dipping sauces, the soy based one and the peanut based one. The amount of vegetables is quite a lot. I would definitely go back, especially on a weekday since they have great weekday deals. It's not the best shabu I've had in my life, but for the price and quantity, you'll leave pretty happy with a full stomach. And for a non ayce individual serving shabu place, it's definitely topping some of the other places I've tried.

This is the most solid Shabu Shabu Spot in LA County Whyyyy? - appetizer selection is great - amount of veggies and noodles and freshness of both are good - broth selections are nice - meat selections are awesome (i order the vintage ribeye ) - sauce is solid, both ponzu and goma are legit -they still offer HOT DROPS and provide you the rotary of condiments (which MOST shabu places have discontinued) Service is good. The restaurant is usually pretty full, but there's no wait however last time I went we waited for over 30 minutes since there was a large party who made a reservation. The parking situation isn't usually a problem even though the lot is shared and small as there is a ton of street parking. Ambiance is nice, I enjoy how most of the seating isn't on high tops and there are a plenty of 4 tops so you can face your friends, family, or date when having a conversation.

I don't know where they get their meat from but it's some of the most tender cuts I've had at a shabu shabu restaurant. I fully expected it to be tough but even after leaving it in the broth for minutes, it was succulent and tasty. I promise you even the cheapest cut of beef is worth it. I ordered the choice rib eye with spicy miso broth and my mom ordered the Angus beef prime with kelp broth. The spicy miso broth was flavorful enough that it didn't require any extra flavor but the kelp broth is very light so it needs some dipping sauces. We also tried the beef tataki roll which was surprisingly very delicious albeit crumbly since it didn't have good structural integrity. I also enjoyed the agedashi tofu which was sweet and served warm. This a great place to visit with a small group or even solo since I saw a few people do that. They have great deals on certain days and lunch specials too which we didn't get to try out. The workers were very sweet and it was overall a good experience.

A great shabu shabu place with reasonable prices! We all got the Angus Beef set which comes with vegetables, rice, udon, and the beef. The regular is definitely sufficient for most people but they have Large or XL for the very hungry folks. We learned they do specials on certain days (aka a few dollars off of a specific set each day of the week - Monday being the beef, and Thursday being the chicken). There are other deals too but I forget what they were. We get the kombu base which is perfectly pleasant but you can add a few dollars to get flavored broth. Overall, I'd definitely come back because it doesn't feel too greasy or oily (despite having nice and tender beef).

Came here with my friends. They love this place because they get lamb. I on the other hand cannot eat lamb. They had a combo for 2 for $71. Soup,2 meat, appetizer, drinks and dessert. Chose sukiyaki and spicy miso. Got prime rib and short plate. I like the short pplate but it scared me when it said not all natural. For the appetizer we got the tempura. I wasn't a big fan of it. But I could've also been full and didn't want to eat more. for dessert we got churro and ice cream. They also have these spicy drops that you can add to your sauce and soup but you need to ask for it. I thought the combo was worth it for the price.

Came for dinner. We haven't been here in a few years so wanted to see if anything changed. They have lunch specials, dine in only as well as take out only bowl specials. However if you want great shabu shabu you come here! We got the $70.95 meal for two which includes an appetizer, two drinks, two soup bases, two meats (missing the premium meats), and a dessert. It's actually a good deal compared to a la carte! We got the XL sized meats and it's quite a bit. We were full afterwards. The shabu shabu comes with a preselected veggie plate with noodles, some rice, and goma and soy sauces. The ice cream desserts are actually pretty big for about $5. Parking is available in the attached strip mall lot or park in street when it gets full.

This place continues to be amazingly consistent with their food and their great service. They have several broths to choose from, my favorite is the spicy miso and their goma sauce is very flavorful. They have a sesame seed grinder and my favorite the pickled vegetables.

Wanted shabu shabu in Pasadena and this restaurant has been on my list to try. Inside seating is typical of a shabu restaurant. Decor is simple and modern. They have weekday specials (Monday to Thursday) with discounted meat orders as well. The discount shaves a good 7-8 dollars per order so definitely choose wisely when to come in! You choose from 4 different soup bases to start off, I got the konbu dashi soup base. There's vegetarian, seafood, pork, chicken, lamb meat options. As for the beef, there's 3 tiers of beef to choose from. I got the choice rib eye which was such good quality. I will say for the regular size portion you don't get a whole lot of meat, so if you're hungry definitely get the large or extra large meat order. With the meal you get a bowl of shabu veggies and udon noodles. Service was great and prompt. We got checked up on multiple times to see if we needed additional soup or assistance which was really helpful. Definitely a must try in Pasadena.

Now that I've been here 3 or 4 times, I can confidently say this is one of my favorite meals in Pasadena, maybe even LA. The food and service is top notch, and they have a 2 person deal for ~$70 that includes alcohol, an appetizer, AND dessert. Never had a bad time here!

Since I live nearby, I occasionally get coupons for this place, so I dined here recently for the second time. It seems pretty popular (they have a sign-in sheet when it's busy), and it appeared all other parties there were repeat customers. I on the other hand was a bit of a shabu shabu novice, so the kind wait staff help me out a lot. As a solo diner, I was offered a "Me Myself and I" meal menu, along with the regular one. The Me menu is prix fixe $25.75 for an app, drink (including sake and beer), broth and entree protein. Each seat has an electric burner upon which your broth is placed. Each person is brought a caddy of utensils (tongs, ladle, etc) and a plethora of sauces and condiments (garlic, turnip, scallions), sesame seeds. The servers kindly mixed my sauces and condiments for me; there is a ponzu one and a sesame-based tahini-like one. Of course there was soy sauce and vinegar (I think). My app choice was the vegetable tempura, 4 pieces of large veggies served with yet another sauce. The batter was on the thick side, not unlike that at the nearby Ichima restaurant. My drink choice was a Shirley Temple, which was refillable, as are the sauces and broth. I was told the most popular broth was the miso one, which could be ordered spicy or not spicy; I chose not spicy. My protein choice was Prime Angus beef. All entrees come with a big bowl filled with udon noodles, veggies, tofu. The server again helped me by letting me know which things to cook first (the thicker veggies like carrots). The meat cooks very quickly. For $3, I increased the size of my order to large, so it was a hefty meal. I had also ordered the shrimp tempura cut roll, which of course came with wasabi and ginger. This was the least successful dish, not well seasoned and rather messily rolled up so they fell apart easily, Nex time I visit (with another coupon), I'll be more experienced as to what to order and how to eat it.

I've been here many times and the shabu is consistently good. I've also picked up their shabu to go and it tastes pretty close to dining in. The workers are nice and take out is ready pretty fast. My go-to order is the beef shabu with konbu broth. The beef is lean and the sesame sauce has good flavor.

I visited O'seyo Shabu Shabu to celebrate an early Mother's Day, and I was thoroughly impressed. The beef they serve is among the most tender I've experienced at any shabu shabu restaurant. Both the meat and the broth were rich, succulent, and bursting with flavor. Every bite was an absolute delight, leaving my taste buds completely satisfied. I think I've finally found my go-to spot for a shabu shabu fix. The quality of the meat is unmatched, and the service is warm, attentive, and friendly. The ambiance of the restaurant is charming and cozy, creating the perfect atmosphere for a relaxed meal. I'll definitely be returning to O'seyo for another memorable experience.

My coworkers and I went here for our monthly dinner gathering, and it's been years since I've had shabu shabu. To be reconnected with this culinary experience was pleasant. Customer service was really awesome with staff asking if we were doing well or wanted to refill our soup bases. Because we were unfamiliar with the meat portions, staff helped us make sure we ordered the right amount, and we were able to finish what we ordered with nothing left over. I'm on keto, so I was used one of the bases very sparingly to cook the meat. I used the other base for most of my dinner to make a veggie soup. Everything was tasty. I'd definitely come here again

This place is pretty good. The quality of the meats were tasty. This is pretty much individualized hotpot where you order your set (broth, meat, carb). Service was nice and the food was good. I would come here again if I'm in the hood since there are no other hot pot places nearby and this place gets the job done well. I ordered beer, but wasn't impressed with the fact that it came with too much foam. I had to use a spoon and scoop it out both times. I'm not a fan of this kind of head. There were 3 of us so we each ordered different cuts of the beef to share and try. I will return again, but I might rethink the draft beer and just stick with sake or beer bottles.

Have been coming here for years. This place NEVER disappoints!! The food is amazing, service is top notch, love the ambiance. I definitely recommend this place.

Came to O'seyo a few weeks ago with my gf for our monthly dinner. Parking is a bit tough in their lot during peak hours, but I found street parking nearby. Service was really great, all of the servers were really helpful and let me try a sample of the sukiyaki broth. My gf and I got the happy hour beef (regular) in Konbu and Sukiyaki broth. The meat and veggies were good portion, and I love their sesame sauce (added my own garlic and green onion), and their ponzu was good (added my own radish and green onion). The sukiyaki broth gets sweeter with all the meat & veggies...so I might want to try another broth next time. I was able to pack my leftovers to go. I'd skip the blue crab roll next time, it was standard but nothing to rave about...so not sure if their other sushi rolls are any better. Restrooms were clean. I think O'seyo is a good shabu option for the east Pasadena area.

Did you know that they are now serving lunch bowls on Monday-Friday from 11am-2pm? I got all 3 bowls which were bulgogi, spicy pork and chicken. It's take out only and they give out some pretty big sizes. The owner here is super nice and told us the background story of why he started offering lunch bowls instead of doing Shabu all day. Lunch bowls are quick, easy and convenient to eat and you can't beat buying real food for $10.95!! That's cheaper than most fast food places. So if you're in the Pasadena area, go pick up your rice bowls for lunch!!

It's been a while since I've dined here. I believe I haven't been back since Covid-19 and they had seats outside. I came during rush hour for dinner and waited about 30 mins for a table of two. The restaurant was packed! My mom really likes garlic edamame here. I got konbu soup base and certified all natural vintage prime rib rye. My mom also got konbu soup base and certified silky pork. I really like the sesame dipping sauce here. It tasted better than others. Can't really explain it. Is it just me? Friendly servers. Small parking lot but you can also park on the street. They accept credit cards. Will be back!

Went here for my birthday with family and friends.We got the 2 for 70 deal where you get 1 side, 2 broths, 2 protein, 2 drinks and 1 dessert! Very good deal! I myself got the spicy miso with Angus beef if I'm not mistaken and the side is not pictured here but it was beef gyoza, the drink also not pictured was the iced green matcha tea and the dessert was the churros and ice cream not the one in my photo set by the actual one this one was a special one given to me for my birthday! Anyways the broth was stellar! Spicy miso is always a go to for shabu shabu, the deep rich flavors that was mixed with the I believe it was Szechuan spices because it was numbing to my mouth really gave it a nice boost in flavor and of course spice. I forgot the name of the noodles I got but they were good too I should have got the udon or the ramen noodles but it's ok I still liked it. The beef was very good! I enjoyed it with the sauces they had on the sides which was like this sesame based sauce and the other was like a ponzu sauce. The service was great! They were very attentive and helpful and they sang happy birthday haha although everyone else in the restaurant was like "please stop nobody cares" type of feeling haha which is fine The place was cool and it was cozy! TVs all around for you to watch as you enjoy your meal. Definitely gonna come back here! For me it's 5 stars!

Really nice little shabu shabu restaurant. Not a lot of soup base options, but good quality meats and veggies with friendly service.

Finding a good shabu-shabu spot has been challenging, especially with many places closed or offering only takeout. Fortunately, O'seyo has remained open for both takeout and dine-in, exactly what we were looking for. With a few indoor seating options available, we decided to give it a try. Upon arrival, we were greeted with warm smiles and a genuine welcome. For me, excellent customer service is always a plus, and O'seyo delivered on that front. The shabu-shabu here is fantastic, and we've found ourselves returning regularly, even after the height of COVID. My family loves this place not only for its proximity but also for the consistent friendliness of the staff. We always make sure to thank them for their wonderful service. We usually order the Vintage Prime XL, a perfect choice for our shabu-shabu experience. To maximize our taste buds, we opt for plain water and ginger as our broth base. This simple yet effective combination truly enhances the flavor of the high-quality meats and vegetables. O'seyo has become one of our favorite spots, especially for meeting friends over dinner. The restaurant opens at 5 pm, and if you arrive late, you might find yourself on a waitlist. However, it's definitely worth the wait. Overall, O'seyo is a hidden gem. The combination of delicious shabu-shabu, outstanding customer service, and a cozy atmosphere makes it a must-visit. If you're in the area and craving a delightful dining experience, I highly recommend giving O'seyo a try.

Rainy weather in LA calls for shabu shabu and O'seyo is always a reliable option! I got a large choice rib eye set and the quality of the beef is superb, super tender and worth the couple extra dollars compared to the prime rib eye. Love the house made sauces (ponzu and goma/sesame) and the spicy pickled onions and peppers they give. You can also substitute your rice or udon for extra vegetables which I thought was a nice option! Overall a really solid spot for homey shabu shabu. Food: 5/5 Price: 4/5 Service: 5/5 Ambience: 4/5

I wanted to try a new hot pot spot tonight, and came here based on the amount of good reviews. It did set our expectations a bit higher going in. The regular scallop roll was not bad, off to a good start. However, the meat quality here is simply subpar to most other places in this area. I'd rather go to an AYCE spot. The silky pork was super lean and not appetizing. The vintage ribeye sounded amazing from the menu, but turns very tough in a few seconds, not melty at all. There's hardly marbling. The only meat that's bearable was the beef belly, but it's pretty thick like cuts I would see used in kbbq. There's way better beef belly closer to me in Arcadia. The soup base was minimal, the ladle did not work well with the pot and was misshaped. It made scooping anything awkward. Lastly, that goma sesame sauce tastes too much like mayo and not in a good way. I don't think I'd come here again. I feel misled by most of the reviews as well as the description of the meat on the menu vs what was served. The only redeeming qualities here are cleanliness and the good service.

So my daughter came home the other day and wanted to go to O'seyo. We came and were greeted with welcoming smiles. The waitress, whom we haven't seen over a year remembers us and our preferences. The customer service is just exceptional. Everyone is so nice here. As always, the food and environment are excellent. This time, I remembered to take pictures before I started eating.

O'seyo is my go-to for shabu shabu! I love their sesame sauce, especially with the hot drops. The service is also impeccable - as soon as I look up, a server comes by to ask what I need. I've been coming here for years and will keep coming back! Also don't sleep on their happy hour - salmon rolls for $4!!

Excited they open for lunch on weekends now! Attentive and efficient service with quality meats and fresh seafood and veggies. I love the sesame sauce and ponzu sauce here. Even better if you add some green onions and garlic. There are some counter style seating as well as table seating. Not the best spot for large groups but perfect for groups of 4 or less. Parking is in the busy lot or street parking. Good spot for hot pot/shabu shabu. Always hits the spot!

I come here for Shabu Shabu, the portions are generous, sauces are phenomenal, and the service is excellent. They offer a selection of different grade beef, a selection of different broths, and order sizes. Establishment is clean, and the staff are very friendly. I'll be back!

This is an amazingly solid place to visit regularly. Sometimes the Staff is friendly, other times your order is completely ignored but the food and experience makes it worth it. Every time. Enjoy!

If you're in Pasadena looking for a good shabu shabu restaurant, I recommend trying out O'seyo. Their menu selection has a lot of variety, from appetizers to hand rolls to standard shabu shabu entrees. I dined here this past weekend with a friend, and we had a good experience. Service was great because two waitresses were accommodating us. We chose their promotional special, the Feast for 2 for about $75, where you select an appetizer, two beverages, two shabu shabu broths with two meat entrees, and dessert. The broth and meat quality were good, as well as the vegetables. Even though O'seyo is not an AYCE restaurant, I guarantee that you will feel very full at the end. Parking shouldn't be a big issue because even though the lot nearby is quite small, there is plenty of street parking around.

Came back to O'seyo after a long long time (the first and only time I had ever been here prior was when they first opened). I got the Certified Angus Prime shabu set (normal size) and to be honest, I was not very impressed. At $20-25 for most of their shabu's, they also charge additional for all of the broths outside of kombu. I'm pretty shocked because they don't give a lot of meat in their normal size, but the price is pretty up there. And to charge extra for a sukiyaki or tomato-based broth seems a bit strange to me. The initial serving of rice is very small (like a small ice cream scoop) and they didn't clarify if additional rice is free or not so I assumed it wasn't. The variety of vegetables was small and they served it on a large bed of napa cabbage which may come off sneaky or stingy to some. I ate every morsel and grain of rice and left feeling satiated - but for the price, I feel like other places might be better in terms of value. The servers were very friendly and your order is brought out quickly. The waitresses will also proactively remove your empty plates, and ask if you need more sauces or broth refills if it's looking empty. They have a parking lot, and also plenty of free street parking if the lot is full. I would expect to pay about $30+ per person after tax and tip.

The food was fresh, but you get a lot of cabbage and not a lot of everything else. It's nice to have your own cooking pot!

Came back for the first time since pandemic; still impressed. Their sauces are great. Long lines as usual on weekends but service staff was super attentive! Like their new Feast for 2!

Been coming back to O'seyo even though there are other Shabu Shabu options around the area. Great service Great selection of meat Great atmosphere with TV on sports channel Great price, reasonable price and portion Great choices soup base (tomato, sukiyaki, spicy miso) John and Irene is our favorite server. They're very friendly and great service!

one of my all time favorite shabu spots due to their never changing quality in meats. throughout the years, o'seyo's most notable quality is their ability to provide top notch beef while providing balanced prices. i'm usually a lamb girly, bone broth gal, but this shabu is the only one whose angus beef can compete when it's time to choose my meat. they do not have bone broth, which is what i tend to look for at shabu places but i still find myself coming back here time and time again. i'll just opt for a regular miso broth. although not an ayce, their meat and veggie portions are large enough to fill you up. they also have some pretty nice appetizers if you're still hungry. sushi quality is good so don't be afraid to try! parking is never really an issue. although the lot is small and free, you can usually find parking there but if not, there is always street available too.

Service and food is amazing! Super gf friendly too. I love coming here for dates and with friends!

The best Shabu Shabu. I got the traditional soup base with ribeye. Was so delicious! Def will come back again.

My wife and I's new favorite Shabu Shabu spot! It was getting close to dinner time on a Friday evening and we still hadn't decided where to eat yet. So I hopped on Yelp and came across this place - I remember seeing a friend post about it a while back and it looked really good, so we headed right out. We ordered the 2-person set and I have to say, what you get for under $100 all in is amazing. The quality of the dishes, the meat in particular, is fantastic. I upgraded both to the XL size (of course I stole some from the lady) and along with the appetizer and dessert, was the perfect portion. The parking lot is a little on the smaller side so if you come during prime dining times, you may have an issue. Staff is great and friendly, everything is brought out to you promptly. I've been here 3x already at this point, and I don't see myself ever stopping!

Heard so much about this place so I had to give it a try. Even though my expectations were elevated, they did not disappoint! Parking was easy to find in the lot and the inside was very neat and clean. Yelp says you can make reservations but they don't actually take them right now. But it wasn't too busy when we walked in on a weekday night. I like how you can choose the amount of meat you want-- I ordered the angus beef which was their leanest cut but it still came with a bit of marbling so it wasn't dry. The spicy miso soup base was also good. The portions were just right with and I liked everything they included in the veggie bowl-- Napa, carrots, mushroom, kabocha, tofu, udon, and green onions. Service was great and the food came out in a timely manner. Will be coming back!

I arrived there approximately 20 minutes before their posted closing hours. They close early so don't count on a late dinner here.

The rib eye beef cut well, the soup base we had was sukiyaki. Price is not cheap. It is about $28 for large portion. $3 for soup base. Good service.

Ok people this is my favorite restaurant in Pasadena. The quality of food served here is absolutely excellent! But the truth is the service is beyond what you'd expect in a shabu shabu joint. Everyone that works here checks on you to make sure your have enough soup in your pot, that your sauces are filled and that you are enjoying your meal. Honorable mention to Irene who knows I hate fish but constantly threatens me with their fish plate lol. But that's the point, the folks here run it like a neighborhood place where they remember your name and take excellent care of you! Go in, try a little bit of everything, but definitely try the Garlic Edamame to start and definitely try the beef tataki! I have a lot of favorites on this menu, but the people and the service are why I keep coming back!

Firstly I'm not really a fan of shabu shabu but my friend wanted to go to celebrate our Feb bdays early and chose this place. We got there around 4:50pm on a Wed so not busy as they open at 4:30. Happy hour is from 4:30-6 so we got lucky. Service was good. Had gyozas, takoyoshi, and plum wine. Liked the plum wine in particular. I had the angus beef shabu shabu and my friend had the lamb. We got fried tempura green tea ice cream which was probably the least favorite thing as the green tea tasted artificial.

Obviously one of our regular spots. Took a little break due to Covid and having a new furry member of the family. Only wish they were pet friendly, but we get it. Food and service is always great and happy they have most of their specials and menu items on the menu. Feast for two is a great deal, especially if you go with the sake :) Beef for my GF and lamb for me, with soft crab app and churro for dessert. Delish!

One of our favorite Shabu places. We always get the spicy miso broth (which is definitely not spicy but very flavorful) as well as the beef. The sides of vegetables and udon noodles are a perfect portion and we always leave super full. Customer service is always great. Sometimes there may be a line or wait if you're coming during the weekends so make sure to get here early or come on weeknights. They have a parking lot so usually not an issue to find parking. If they're packed, there's plenty of parking on the street. Overall a solid place for shabu! Recommended.

My absolute favorite spot to go to. The staff is so wonderful, we've been coming here for so long that they always welcome us with open arms. We typically get the Certified Angus Prime shabu set with either sukiyaki or spicy miso soup depending on the day. Their appetizers are delicious too (agedashi tofu, gyoza, d'humain, hand rolls to name a few) Parking is an issue sometimes because the plaza that it's located in is quite small, but you could find street parking all around. I usually go right when they open just to snag a spot without a wait!

Truly one of my favorite shabu places. We live almost an hour away and drive here for this meal. It's very hard to find a shabu place that is good quality meat, good sauces, and good service. This place has it all. Inside is also very nice and always clean. For sure rated in my top 5 shabu places I've ever had!
