SHABURINA SHABU-SHABU HOT POT

Excellent all-you-can-eat hotpot. Meat is good fresh in good quality. Soup choices are good, but my Suzuki soup is too sweet for my taste... Meat choices are limited to beef and pork... Vegetable, seafood and fishball choices are okay... Ice cream is only limited to one per person when leaving Men bathroom was horrible though... Broken soap dispenser and paper towel container

Shaburina in Redmond is an excellent spot for shabu shabu hot pot, especially with their AYCE (All-You-Can-Eat) menu. Located in a newer neighborhood near Hui Lau Shan and Safeway, the area is convenient and modern. Shabu shabu is my favorite style of hot pot since everyone gets their own pot, allowing you to customize your meal however you like. The setup is ideal, and the staff is incredibly friendly and happy to guide you if you’re new to the experience. The AYCE menu offers two tiers of meat, and while I usually go for the premium option, the regular selection is also great. They have a variety of broths, though I wouldn’t recommend the original kombu—it’s a bit too bland for my liking. Alongside the meat, they have an extensive self-serve bar with fresh veggies, noodles, seafood, meatballs, and my favorite part: the sauce bar. The sauce bar has plenty of options for crafting your perfect dipping sauce, which really elevates the meal. The beef and pork are of excellent quality, and after the initial serving of a variety of meats, you can reorder only your favorites, which arrive quickly. Refills on the broth are also available, so you’re never left wanting. The price is reasonable for the quality and variety, and I always leave feeling full and satisfied. As a bonus, they offer complimentary ice cream after you pay, so be sure to stick around for a sweet finish. If you’re looking for a fun, customizable, and high-quality hot pot experience, Shaburina is a fantastic choice!

In the middle of August we got a couple days of stormy weather and cooler temperature. Hubby has a cold and we both craved something soupy and nourishing. Most of the new Chinese hot pot places had 90min wait and we found Shaburina only with 4 parties ahead of us on waitlist. We used to go to Swish Swish before it really went down hill, and i found Little Lamb to be underwhelming. First off, this place is very clean. Gentleman on waitstaff who helped us was super cheerful, and friendly, compared to many of these places where you had to beg them for help. We ordered the premium meat option, and we were impressed with the quality. We selected the broth of the day, Chicken and Scallop. It was very savory and flavorful. We didn't load up at the bar but the bar offers shrimp, fish cakes and a wide variety of veggies. They have a soft serve ice cream machine which is included in the meal. It was a perfect ending to a very yummy dinner.

Came in as a group, sat in 2 different tables. There was no clear instruction on ordering the same menu regardless of table sitting if come in as a group. The server was nice enough to give an exception. Fire alarm then started went on for about 10 min, instructed to stay in. There was no real danger or harm, but the atmosphere was just unfortunate. No word from servers on the situation. Food is okay ish. The second round of beef was just full of fat (see the pic). For all you can eat hotpot, feel like happy lamb has a better quality. Oh and guess what you get charged for not finishing your meat. I'm not risking hyperlipidimea.

This restaurant was really nice. Great customer service. The food was really good and tasty. I wasn't super fond of the soup taste. Otherwise, the restaurant had lots of veggies and a good selection of other options besides the meat.

Only the very first round of meat quality is decent. Every order afterwards are just full of fats. This is no longer the Shaburina I used to enjoy. Meat quality has gone down tremdenmously.

Diners beware: if you use a credit card, they charge a 3% service fee. Highway robbery! The meat is nothing to write home about, and the service is not good either. It's only an all-you-can-eat buffet style.

My best friend showed me this place and it was SO good! I’m not a fan of hotpot but this place is different, and actually one of my favorites now! I took my husband 3 days later after coming here the first time because I loved it. They even give you free ice cream before you leave! I will say, if you plan to have a late dinner, get to the restaurant before 8pm. Their website says they close at 9pm, but they close the buffet bar and don’t seat anyone after 8, sometimes even a few minutes before 8pm, so please keep that in mind before you go! Other than that, the staff are super nice and attentive, and the food is delicious!

This is my second visit to Shaburina, as recommended by a local friend. There is parking in the garage and you sinply walk outside to enter the restaurant. I really like this place, not only for the ambiance with their clean large space with hanging round lanterns, but also for the food. This round we came for lunch with an all you can eat special of $35 for the house lunch and a few other options. What especially impresses me is the bar where you can select your own veggies, noodles, seafood, sauces, etc. my favorites include the selection of different noodles and the scallops and clams. The meat is ordered at your table from your server and the still is very good about asking if you would like more and clearing plates as well as making sure your drink is never low. The meats are quality and thinly sliced, my favorite is the pork belly. Lastly, to top off your meal, they offer ice cream for dessert.

Shaburina is an excellent spot for a personalized shabu shabu experience! You get your own individual pot and it's all you can eat. For our broths we ordered the sukiyaki and the original kombu. For our meat selection we ordered the House, which includes beef shortplate, beef chuck, pork belly and pork shoulder. All of which tasted of good quality. Fyi, everyone in your party has to order the same level of meat! The staff were very prompt about getting you refills of the meat, and just very attentive overall by making sure your soup and waters are filled. They were also very friendly and made sure you were well taken care of overall. My favorite part about this place is the self serve toppings bar! They have a wide selection of vegetables, noodles, dumplings, fish cakes, sauces and more. Overall, it was a pleasant and interactive experience! Remember to ask for the icecream at the end of the meal!

Shaburina in Bellevue, WA, is an AYCE Japanese style individual hot pot restaurant, serving up a limited selection of thinly sliced meats along with a very diverse list of fresh ingredients, self-served from a buffet. We found it to be a great all-around experience during Christmas Day. Shaburina was one of the first restaurants we went to on our first visit to the Seattle area more than 3 years ago, when trying to collaboratively find an apartment for my daughter's first full-time job. It was before I began to help record my journey on Yelp, so don't really have a strong memory of it except that it was AYCE and was on the pricey side. So when the opportunity arose to find a place for a Christmas meal that we would really enjoy, we decided to go back on memory lane by taking a walk for lunch. They were open for Christmas Day, with last seating at 3:30 pm (allowing the restaurant to close by 5 pm). This is an individual hot pot restaurant, with each person getting their own 'hot pot'. This means that the number of seating is perhaps less than what you would expect of the space, and it was fairly popular on this holiday. Even then, the host was gracious in helping us find a table, and we ended up only waiting less than 15 minutes. The menu is accessed through a QR code and is simpler than most. I appreciated that they didn't jack the price up for Christmas, instead it was typical lunch pricing: choice of the house course ($35 per person), Buffet Bar Only ($28), or the Premium Course ($50 for wagyu beef and Kurobuta pork). Everyone at the table must get the same thing. We got the house course. There are four choices of broth for all items, and between the 3 of us, we got the original (unami gotten through bonito and kelp) and spicy miso (unami gotten through fermented soy bean). The broth for me got tastier as I kept cooking fatty beef and pork into it, but never so good to challenge a decent soup. The induction burners work really well, with easily adjustable heat level Shabu-shabu is a Japanese style of Asian Hot Pot, emphasizing the cooking of very thinly sliced meats by 'swishing' it through the broth with tongs or chop sticks, eating the meat as you cook it. You don't want to over cook the meat here..it will shrivel up and become tough. I was good about this in the beginning, and the meat was good, but as I ordered the refill(s), I wasn't as careful and the meat became chewy and tough. I would recommend the beef shortplate and pork belly (other two choices being chuck and pork shoulder), cooking it very quickly and not letting it sit in the broth...or just upgrading to the premium course where a better grade of meat with more fat makes it a more 'premium' experience. I loved the self service buffet, with the requisite sauce bar (which my wife and daughter used and liked), a small selection of vegetables (bokchoy, napa cabbage, chrysanthemum, bean sprouts, tomato, tofu, squash, corn, fried tofu, potato, mushrooms, konyaku, and mini wontons) , but also a surprisingly premium version of seafood and other proteins that you can add. This was the star of the meal for me, and I took full advantage. Noodles included ramen, udon, egg noodle. Two types of pickled vegetables were given, including a decent napa kimchi which could be used to make a kimchi broth. I loved the selection of processed meats, including spam, beef ball, fish tofu ball, krab sticks, chikuwa, and kamaboku. They also had raw headless shrimp (small size), and baby octopus (I ate a lot of this), along with small shelled bay scallops and small clams. Note most of the proteins in the buffet line are presented semi-frozen, and meant to be cooked (if raw) or reheated (if cooked) a while. Service was definitely caring, but a bit hit or miss in terms of clearing plates and water refilling. Instead, the limited staff (understandable because of the holidays) focused on refilling meats quickly and keeping the buffet fully stocked and clean. They did a good job. Payment is accepted at the table and is through Clover. it's become common practice to charge a credit card fee, which is very easy to implement if using one of the all-in-one restaurant partners like Clover or Toast. In this case, it was 3% and this fee was clearly stated, so wasn't a surprise. Complementary soft serve ice cream seems to be the common dessert for hot pot places, and Shaburina was no exception, with it being given as you leave the restaurant. It is served in a small Dixie cup size container, with a small spoon. This small amount actually went a long way, the vanilla flavored ice cream being very rich, thick, and creamy. It was very delicious (as good as soft serve as you can get), and a great way to end the meal as we headed out into the cold, damp, and dreary Seattle overcast skies.

11.17.2024 On a cold night, Shaburina in Bellevue was the perfect spot to warm up and enjoy a dinner. The restaurant offers an excellent deal with their all-you-can-eat shabu shabu, making it a fantastic value. The staff were attentive and made sure we had everything we needed throughout our meal. The ambiance was cozy and inviting, perfect for a chilly evening. We opted for the premium meat option, which included a variety of beef and pork. The broth was flavorful and complemented the fresh ingredients perfectly. The buffet-style counter offered a wide selection of vegetables, seafood, and noodles, allowing us to customize our hot pot to our liking.

We came here with family and had a great time. We all got the regular unlimited Shabu. I chose the spicy miso soup base, this was fantastic! I added meats, eggs, vegetables and sauces. This is way too Much for one person to eat and you can't take anything home. For $40 a person I did not think this was a great deal. It was delicious, but I can't eat that much. It would be nice to have a one soup bowl option, not unlimited, that you could take your leftovers home. The restaurant was busy, and it was easy to get assistance when needed. It was a nondescript atmosphere and you really don't care because you're paying too much attention to your food! Come hungry if you go here. The food is delicious.

AYCE shabu shabu with high quality meats and basically all the classic toppings! We got the premium cuts and were able to finish two rounds before becoming extremely full with room for the creamy soft serve at the end. The waiter serving us was also super attentive and eager to give us second servings (though I will note he seemed to be the only waiter interacting with customers despite multiple staff milling about). Also enjoyed the music! K-pop

Really wish this place wasn't so far. Quality of the meat is good, choices are good but could use more selection I think. However I don't know a lot about Shabu Shabu other than it's like hotpot... would come again and soon. The seating layout is sort of odd but not a big deal.

We came here for dinner not knowing that it was all you can eat shabu. They had 3 different levels you could get. The whole table does have to do the same level (except for if there are diatery restrictions). Everyone is able to get their own soup flavor. I got the spicy miso. It was super flavorful and had a little kick. I really enjoyed the buffet as they had a lot of variety to put in your shabu. The meats were good quality. It was a little expensive but for all you can eat it was well worth it. They also give you soft-serve at the end of the meal!

So the meat quality is good but the hot pot sauce is underwhelming at best. At least they have a sauce bar for you to use. That's it for the good points. They should change the place to ShaburiNO. I wanted to try their new sauce. "No, we're out of it." I asked if they know when it will be back and to update the info on their site. " No we don't know when it will be back, you'll have to check in yourself." I asked I can use the gift card if I brought it today. "No, we're don't allow that on the same visit." I asked what constitutes as "same visit, and you can probably guess what they said next. It's ridiculous that they can take $100 of my money immediately but I somehow can't spend any part of it. This used to be one of my favorite places but the customer service was so bad that I don't care to return.

In the middle of Septemver we got a couple days of stormy weather and cooler temperature. Hubby has a cold and we both craved something soupy and nourishing. Most of the new Chinese hot pot places had 90min wait and we found Shaburina only with 4 parties ahead of us on waitlist. We used to go to Swish Swish before it really went down hill, and i found Little Lamb to be underwhelming. First off, this place is very clean. Gentleman on waitstaff who helped us was super cheerful, and friendly, compared to many of these places where you had to beg them for help. We ordered the premium meat option, and we were impressed with the quality. We selected the broth of the day, Chicken and Scallop. It was very savory and flavorful. We didn't load up at the bar but the bar offers shrimp, fish cakes and a wide variety of veggies. They have a soft serve ice cream machine which is included in the meal. It was a perfect ending to a very yummy dinner.

Never going back. I tried shaburina last night because happy lamb was too busy and I can say im never going back. I chose the tomato soup base and it was so thick I had to dilute it with water. I then asked for a difference soup because it was still so bad. My second soup was the spicy miso which was even worse. It was so bland. My bf who got the sukiyaki said his broth was too sweet. Our first plate of meat was so tough and chewy that our teeth were hurting. I was so disappointed by the soup and first round of meat that I didn't even want to eat the rest. The vegetable, noodle, and sauce selection was also so small. Save your money and go to a different AYCE.

Shaburina in Redmond is a fantastic spot for anyone looking for a high-quality, personalized shabu-shabu experience. The combination of fresh ingredients, attentive service, and the fun of cooking your own meal in a personal hot pot makes it a place I'd happily recommend. It's a great option if you're looking for something a bit more interactive than a typical restaurant meal. The food quality really stands out. The meats are fresh and well-marbled -- the Wagyu brisket and Kurobuta pork belly were definite highlights. The seafood was equally fresh, and the variety of vegetables and noodles available made it easy to mix up flavors and textures throughout the meal. It felt like there was something for everyone, and I appreciated that everything was clearly well-maintained and fresh. Service was another strong point. The staff were friendly, attentive, and quick to check in without being intrusive. It felt like they were genuinely interested in making sure we had a great experience. They were happy to offer recommendations and answer any questions, which is always a plus when you're trying to figure out the best combinations for your pot. If you're thinking of visiting Shaburina, I'd say go for it. The quality is well worth the price, and it's a fun way to enjoy a meal with friends or family. Just be sure to come hungry -- there's plenty to try, and you'll want to make the most of it.

I have had 5/5 experiences in the past, but today the meat was not a good quality and it definitely made a difference in the entire experience. It was dry, tough and lacked the flavor and fat marbling that I experienced in the past. I sincerely hope meat quality is good next time but I found the premium price unreasonable for such low quality meat.

One of my favorite shabu shabu places! Love that everything is all you can eat and the complimentary soft serve at the end is the best part! There's so many options at the self serve buffet bar. I could honestly get full just from eating off of the buffet bar. Decided to come here on my birthday since they give a free wagyu meat cake and it was definitely worth it. The quality of the meat was great and the servers were very friendly. Original broth is the best in my opinion and sukiyaki broth is a little too sweet for my liking. Make sure to come hungry!

I love their veggie/seafood bar and I highly recommend the original kombu broth. I tried the spicy miso and it was very gritty. Not my cup of tea. The only thing I didn't like was the price. I think it's a little overpriced considering they only give you 4 meat options. $50 for premium at lunch sounds a little crazy to me. The house course is $35 for lunch which is still a little steep. They offer a $19 "fill your bowl" option during the week at lunch which I think is a way better bang for your buck. I'll definitely be back for this. The staff were also very friendly and helpful.

We came in around 8:30 PM on a Friday after a long drive from Portland, just looking for good food that was still open! When we walked in, a server let us know that the buffet table closes at 8:45 and meat service will stop around 9 pm so that everyone would be out by 10 pm. We decided we were hungry enough that we could eat quickly. So I had the sukiyaki broth and my partner had the spicy miso, then were sat in some comfy booths. We loaded up with so many different types of tofu, vegetables, and noodles at the buffet bar. He got us our meat pretty quickly. He was also so kind and helped us grab more vegetables after they'd closed the bar. As well as a second set of beef, though we were full after the first set! The sukiyaki broth is incredible, you MUST get it! I loved the service and the food! At the end, they even gave us ice cream!

Delicious food that's fresh and so tasty! The no meat option and just eating the seafood provided is great! So many fun veggies and seafood to choose from and fun sauces to create! The meats were great too! So much food you always will leave stuffed. The owner was super nice--got us seated and was fun to chat with.

We r regulars and the service is always great when Salmaan is on schedule. Last time we visited service was not so great (maybe new employees) thanksgiving day . Have to say the owner is always attentive to all his customers but sometimes you can do so much at the time . WE NEED TO CLONE SALMAAN.!

I still love this place. We were here for dinner which was priced at $39 for the basic one. We were there around 8pm and they did mention they'll have their last call on the bar. But they were also nice enough to tell us if there are anything we would want from the bar even if it was already close because we were there late. I love their hospitality and going above and beyond for that. They were always asking if we needed anything or extra meat. The staff is definitely well trained and love that about them. They even set aside ice cream cones for us despite having the bar close. They have a parking garage also street parking is free. The AYCE price is also good not too expensive. We would definitely come back here on my birthday so we can get cake meat! We also did a Yelp reservation/ waitlist ahead of time so by the time we were here our table was ready.

Went to Shaburina for the first time tonight and loved it! It was a busy night and we ended up waiting almost an hour to be seated. If you can get your name on early or get a reservation, do it! I didn't mind the way because you could see how busy they were, we were also a party of 5 which is harder to seat for hot pot. The food was amazing. There was good variety and the buffet was well stocked. It took almost no time for us to get our meat order and the food just kept coming. We definitely got our fills worth of meat and veggies. The noodles were some of the best. They were so tender and chewy, loved it! I can't wait to go back again.

Shaburina in Redmond, WA, offers a delightful shabu-shabu experience that stands out for its freshness and variety. Having dined there twice--once for lunch and once for dinner--I've had the opportunity to thoroughly enjoy their House Course, which includes a choice of broth, Beef Chuck, Shortplate, Pork Belly, Pork Shoulder, and access to an extensive buffet and sauce bar. The food quality is exceptional, with all ingredients being remarkably fresh. The meats are served super thinly sliced, making them perfect for quick cooking at the table. I found myself completely stuffed after both visits, which speaks to the generous portions and the all-you-can-eat nature of the experience. Service at Shaburina can vary from good to great. During my visits, the staff was attentive, though there were moments where the service felt a bit inconsistent. However, they were generally friendly and quick to refill our meat orders. The buffet bar is a highlight, offering a wide range of choices beyond just meat. It features an impressive selection of vegetables and greens, along with seafood options like shrimp, octopus, and clams, which were particularly amazing. There were also several types of noodles available, and the buffet was consistently well-stocked, ensuring that diners have plenty of options to customize their meals. When it comes to broth, Shaburina provides a variety ranging from a simple water base to a spicy option. I typically opt for the Kombu or Sukiyaki broth, which strikes a nice balance in flavor. The sauce bar is extensive, although I did wish for some guidance on good sauce combinations to enhance the meal. One standout recommendation is the chrysanthemum leaves, which add a fantastic flavor to the dish. And don't forget to indulge in the free ice cream at the end of your meal--though I found myself too full to enjoy it on both occasions! Overall, Shaburina offers a fresh and delicious dining experience that is both interactive and customizable. Cooking at your table allows for a unique culinary adventure, making it a fun outing for anyone who enjoys hot pot.

Saw an ad on IG for all you can eat weekday lunch special for $18.99. I thought it was an amazing deal, so quickly came in to try it. The ad was a bit misleading. It is not an AYCE deal. You have to pay for every meat tray on top of the $18.99 base. The true AYCE starts at $35, so I opted for the true AYCE. First off, I didn't like the burner for the hot pot. The burner was sooooooo weak. It took a millennium to bring the soup up to temp at the max settings, and it wasn't even hot enough to cook my meats appropriately in a quick hit and run fashion. Every time I dipped in meat I had to wait minutes rather than seconds. Sad experience. Maybe I had a faulty burner? Service was a bit absent as well, there was limited checking in to see if we wanted more meats. Not the situation I want when paying for AYCE... I will say though that the meats here are quality, very tender. They do thinly cut. There's a self serve sauce station to make your own creations. The open bar selection of sides to put in your hot pot has a good selection of veggies, fish cakes, meatballs, noodles, and frozen seafood to choose from.

everything is so fresh, meat is so juicy. lots of sauce options. very friendly customer service. it's a wonderful experience, will visit again for sure.

Came here for the first time and we were at the one hour mark. Did not realize that they have a call down to close the buffet. Very grateful that it was not a busy day so the server left it open for us. For that I give the place 5 stars. We left so full. We came back the next day for some more! This time we came with more than 90 mins to spare. Which is what they give, 90 mins to eat. Of course was great the second time around! But was a little disappointed that they did break down the buffet one hour before closing down to clean up for dinner. Loved all the sauce options and meat was brought all in good time! Would def do it again!

Wanted to try a new all you can eat hotpot place and went here for the first time! Place was nice and clean. We used the parking garage that they had for retail shops so parking was easy. And service was really really good. We chose to do the house special so it was around $40 a person. Meat quality was very good and I loved their sauce bar. Probably one of the best sauce bars at an ayce hot pot place I've been to. They had a lot of options at their buffet bar that you can add to your hotpot. Overall I would go here again, but I probably wouldn't go here over places such as Happy Lamb which has more variety for the price and is closer to home!

I've been to this restaurant many times from weekday lunch, dinner and weekends. Mu suggestion if possible , go on weekdays. The restaurant is pretty big, probably can fit 100ppl more or less. They keep the place always clean and cool temperatures. My favorite place to go for all you can eat shabu2/hot pot in Redmond. Meat: house or special. I like house better, less fat. Normally comes with 2 beef and 2 pork, then you can add just beef only or mixed, whatever you like. Fyi: your whole party in your table must order the same type of meat, either house or special. Soup: there's 4 regular consistently there, plus 1 daily special. I like my regular base, kinda lightly sweet. Most of the items are frozen items, except for fresh veggies. Restroom is available in the back, somehow I think they share restroom with the restaurant next door. You have 1.5 hour to complete your meal. Place is always clean, I like it. I Normally try to avoid dinner or weekend, pack with people. Apparently, they have cook appetizer in the menu, I never try them. Veggies/others: all you can eat from the counter. Sauce/condiments: plenty for you to choose from. Free ice cream cone at the end of the meal. Free street parking or inside underground parking.

I've been here many times for dinner and it is always SO good. Probably, my fave hotpot restaurant in the city. I've tried both tiers of meat and think the lower tier (house course) is my preference as it gives you the most bang for your buck. Tip: you can ask for specific meats as you go if you don't want everything each time. I also would recommend the buffet only option if you really enjoy veggies and seafood! I find the buffet only to be plenty delicious and I like not feeling pressured to eat as much meat as I possibly can. With all the options in the buffet and sauce bar, I think you can have a very nice meal this way. Recommend going early as it can fill up fast. When you're ready to leave, remember to stop by the buffet and grab a soft serve cone on your way out!

Food: 4.5/5 | Service: 4/5 | Experience: 4.5/5 My party of 3 was able to be seated immediately during dinner on a weekend. We got the AYCE premium meat option; there is beef and pork in this set. I got the original broth. Only the meat comes out from the back; all other meats / seafoods / vegetables / etc are at a buffet-style counter. You are served 4 boxes of thinly sliced beef or pork to start, and after that, you can specify which meats you want specifically. I was able to stuff down 8 boxes of meat, but I would say that if you are unable to eat a lot of meat, then perhaps this place might not be the most worth it to you.

Great service, good quality additions, delicious shabu shabu experience for all ages! We came here for a family reunion dinner due to our love of meats and hot pot. It also felt like a great value for all their offering. We had a party of 7 and one baby. They were very child friendly, provided a high chair and even offered our little a plate free of charge (apparently it is height based, so check if your little is charged before going). The food was GREAT (I was so excited pictures slipped my mind). We started off with a plate of each cut of meat including pork and beef to try them out, but regardless they let you order as many of the type you like. The wagyu beef cuts were by far my favorite, but the kurobata pork was bomb too. While your shabu broth is being prepared you go to the toppings bar to add other veggies, tofu, noodles, dumplings, squash and also the sauce bar to make any dipping sauces you fancy. Then it all comes together in the perfect unending shabu shabu experience. But when it does end they provide a delicious ice cream cone to go to top off your overstuffed feeling. The service was excellent. The servers were kind, understanding of us having children, and on top of getting everything we needed efficiently without us having to wave them down. They also offered great suggestions. The price was reasonable with their offerings and AYCE at $55 per person. The catch is the whole table has to eat the same thing. The location is convenient and parking in the garage is validated and easy to find. Overall, a great shabu shabu experience and very kid friendly which is a plus. We will be back for this exuberant experience again.

Okay this is one of my FAVORITE restaurants. First, know this is all you can eat so prepare accordingly. Everyone gets their own bowl and broth. Broths are light. Food and service are quality. You get full access to a diverse buffet style of vegetables, noodles, seafood, and sauces. Plus a soft serve ice cream cone on your way out. If you can EAT, this is the place. Pro tip: reserve the complementary wagu meat cake a week in advance for a special occasion

Parking can be tough on a busy weekend! Came here for my hubby's birthday and ordered the premium course. Even though they were busy they were super quick and helpful.

Soup base too greasy and tasteless, premium course meat slices taste like fake meat, free food was not fresh, limited meat options

I'm being very generous with the review on this one because Im giving them the benefit of the doubt that it was opening day of their promotion so they got flustered.... This is my first time here and after hearing raving review, we decided to check them out. Today was the first day of their lunch opening and they had a lot of promotions going on so it was busy. Parking is on the street or they have a garage as well. Most people came for the ayce but we decided to try their new lunch menu. It was pretty hectic as the restaurant filled up and it was getting pretty loud but not too bad. Service: for the most part it was fine, they had people filling water, cleaning up, bringing food out and a person to take your order. However, the person who took our order wasn't even familiar with the menu so when we had questions he didn't know how to answer. We also got a free perk for checking into the deopbap but never redeem it because he had no idea how... We ended up getting the sukiyaki express hotpot and a rice bowl (separate review on deopbap). The hot pot came with everything already in the soup and you get a side of rice and a drink as well. The menu says we get a choice of rice or noodles but you actually get both. We also didn't have any fish ball in our soup which the menu says we were supposed to as well and the king oyster mushroom...so that was disappointing. However, the most disappointing part was the broth..it was soooooooo sweet. I usually love the broth and would drink it all or take it home for left over, but this one was bad. After a sip I was like no. The hotpot came out decent time but the rice bowl took super long. We ended up sharing the hot pot and finish it before the rice bowl came out and what makes it worse was the guy next to us ordered the rice bowl after us and got it before us... Overall, I'm not sure I will come back anytime soon

We came at 19.50 but they said they close 1 hour before for buffet. The funny thing was I was there before 1 hr and 10 mins but they still insist to not service us. However, I saw people still having dinner. I am so upset because they are too lazy to serve us. What the unprofessional restaurant!! I do not recommend this restaurant and never will

Not really worth coming here unless you're part of a larger group. They do a pretty good job of making it clear that they don't really care unless they can make at least $300 off of your table. I get it, why give a couple willing to spend $100+ on soup the same level of service as a party willing to shell out a few hundred more. It starts when you show up and ask for a table. Doesn't matter how many open tables there are, if you have 3 or less people you will have to wait for one of the 5 bar seats they have to open up. It's better to leave a real table open in case a group of 4 comes in. Then once you do get one of those seats be ready to keep chasing down staff for service. We were constantly trying to flag people down for things like water, to get our order placed, to get refills on broth/meat. Really the only time they seemed to be in any kind of rush to talk to us was when they decided it was time for us to pay and leave so that they could sit others. All in all, we spent over $100 on two bowls of soup and 2 servings of the thin meat (that's all we could get since employees were too busy with the larger tables.). Again, not worth it unless you're going as a large group worthy of the staffs attention. You're better off going elsewhere for date night.

I was craving hot pot while visiting a training session at Microsoft and found this gem not too far from Element. This place didn't disappoint! The Original Kombu broth is freaking delicious. Each sip is full of flavor. As far as the meat, you pick either the Premium or House Course. Not a huge selection since they are a set. The House Course I order came with 2 different beef and 2 different pork. All thinly sliced and fast to cook. Then you have access to the entire bar are with great looking greens and a good selection of hot pot ready seafood. They also have a small sauce bar. Overall, great place to have hot pot. Place is clean and modern with a high-top table if you're eating for one. lol. The staff is very friendly and always on point if you need more meat.

"Yo, listen up Yelp fam! Shaburina in Bellevue is where it's at for real-deal Japanese hot pot. Picture this: you roll up to the spot and it's all cozy vibes, like you're stepping into your homie's crib. The staff? They're mad chill and got your back from the jump, helping you navigate the menu like pros. Once you're seated, it's time to get down to business. They hook you up with a spread of fresh meats, veggies, and seafood, and it's like a buffet of goodness right in front of you. And let me tell ya, the options are off the chain! You can go wild with the toppings, mixin' and matchin' to create your own flavor masterpiece. Then comes the hot pot, steamin' and ready to rock. You dunk those fresh ingredients in the flavorful broth, and it's like a party in your mouth with every bite. Whether you're scoopin' up tender slices of beef or gettin' down with some crispy veggies, you know you're in for a good time. And here's the kicker: I loved that they hook you up with your own addition pot to cook out of. It's like having your own little culinary playground right at the table, and I was all about it! Now, I was on a mission to get my money's worth, so I stacked my tray with 20 servings of meat and loaded up on all the fixins' at the counter. And get this, we only had 90 minutes to chow down, but the staff held it down and made sure we got in and out like bosses. Oh, and here's the sweet deal: at the end of your meal, you get a free cone of ice cream to top it all off! It's the perfect way to cool down after all that hot pot goodness. Bottom line, Shaburina is the spot to hit up when you're in Bellevue and craving some next-level hot pot action. With its bomb food, laid-back vibe, and top-notch service, it's a straight-up win every time. Don't sleep on it, y'all!"

Came here for lunch with my boyfriend and we did the all you can stack option. Very fun concept and we got great value for the price. Free soft serve at the end was the cherry on top! Will definitely come back again.

All-you-can-gluttony for Redmond rainy days. Create your own concoction of dipping sauce or ask the server to make one for you. The base broth choices are bland for some but everyone can stew their own flavor profile to their liking. A disharmonic atmosphere of utensils clanking, folks speaking over one another and soju bottles popping open everywhere. Folks are focused here; they come to eat. Wagyu meat sounds delish at first, but boiling it looks different when all the fat collects at the top. Skimming is a must. Make sure to give your raw shellfish enough time to cook fully. Dress appropriately ~ gets very humid with all the bowls boiling constantly, the air feels almost stagnant and you will come out smelling like shabu shabu. Very expensive ~ this high demand area allows the high demand price because they can. 20% charge is added before they tell you. Grrr. Covered parking garage in the same building.

I don't know what these 5/5 star reviewers are talking about, but it's definitely not that high quality here. The meat is very tough and it's not worth the "premium" price ($55/person). Unsure if it's even wagyu. There are other shabu/hot pot places that are better option than shaburina. Also, they started charging credit card surcharge which is 3% on top of your bill and tip... Regardless, we are never going back. Going to let our friends know that this place upcharges with low quality food.

This is my family's #1 hot pot spot in the area. We have about 10+ times and I absolutely love eating hot pot here. The broth is so good and not complex that you can build your own profile with all the condiments they offer. The meat is great too, and the portions are good (it is all you can eat). They do have a waitlist option on Tock and tend to get pretty busy around 7pm on weekends.

Great! Should have more buffet additions though. Looks: Spacefull, big, warm. Shaburina also smells great! Service: Great! Free ice cream on the way out! Hot pot/food: Hot pot is delicious! (I personally don't prefer Shaburina's drinks)

If you're vegan maybe you should sit this one out. It was not worth the money for the amount of veggies you eat. $30 for vegetable soup ain't worth while meat is $39. They do have options for us veagnerz but not worth the price.

I've been to several hot pot areas on the east side and yet I continue to go back to Shaburina! First off the price pint for this AYCE is affordable but the high marks go to the nice selection of beef and pork and the number of veggies, noodles and seafood and more! The sauce bar is one of the better ones as well with about 10 choices plus a good array of condiments. Out of the five soup bases we usually go for the spicy miso. It has a kick but not too hot. From the moment you arrive the wait staff is always on their toes coming by often to making sure you've got enough meat on the table and your water glass filled. They even pay attention to your needs of refilling your broth. I also like the individual hot pots. The ambiance is a modern setting with a mix of tables and booths. If your party is more than six you can make a reservation but we prefer to go right when they open at 5pm just to avoid waiting in line. Be sure to grab a soft serve ice cream cone on your wait out!

Solomon is so welcoming and friendly! He was so helpful our first time (and every other time we were back). Great selections. 10/10 would recommend.

Went there with my sister last weekend. Place is very clean, meat quality was good. Lots of other hot pot foods and vegetables to choose from. The house special soup base tastes good. Too bad it's in Redmond or else I will visit more often.

All you can eat shabu shabu with lots of great options for broth and veggie. Personally would go with the regular option as the wagyu set isn't particularly that much better. You can't taste the difference in the beef quality much once you dip it in broth

Finally got to try this place after a 1.5+hr wait. When you check in, you get a link to see which place you're in line. The system was off and kicked us out of line several times. When we asked the host, they said we were #3 in line, but the link said we had 17 parties ahead of us. Check-in system was a bit weird and folks who checked in after us got sat first (same amount of people in the party and they asked us how long we waited before they even put their name down) which was a bit annoying....esp since we were hangry at that point. We brought that up to the host and she apologized but nothing was done about it. Got the standard meat set with a yuzu slush. Total was $60 after tax and tip. Buffet was good with the fresh veggies and make your own sauce. The baby octopus looked really unappetizing because it was super slimy looking, but tasted ok when cooked. Overall, the food was good. Just not worth 1.5hr wait and the terrible check-in procedure. And for $60 I could eat elsewhere with better service. Would return if my friends suggested it, but would probably not recommend to anyone.
