Yoshi Shabu Shabu 🍜

Super beginner friendly! The staff was amazing at explaining everything and teaching us technique and giving protein recommendations! Lee Anne was our waitress and she was amazing. She took such good care of us. If I could give this place 10 stars i would!

We absolutely love Yoshi! Prava is incredibly sweet, kind, and always makes us feel so welcome. Her professionalism and genuine warmth make every visit a joy. This is truly our favorite place to eat. The food is not only delicious but also incredibly healthy, if you eat here regularly, you might just live longer! Highly recommend to anyone who wants nourishing food made with love.

Everything was so good, this location is beautiful and clean. Sonny is the best, I would come back just for the service but it's a huge plus that the food is all so fresh and delicious. I like this location better than the other one. Great atmosphere, amazing service, and awesome food. What more could you want!?

First time having this kind of food and was a very cool experience. Place is quite open and very clean, and all of the service staff is excellent and very helpful (and was quite patient with us with all of our questions too). Even one of the owners was just going around and talking to everyone and had a great conversation with us. Food ingredients used are clearly very fresh and great quality. I think it takes a bit to try what combination tastes the best to you, but that is definitely apart of the experience. I doubt I would want to eat this often, but it is for sure worth trying at least once. For the Muslims reading, all of the meats, except for the pork and pork broths of course, are all halal. Since you are cooking the food yourself, you do not need to worry about cross contamination at all. Definitely call ahead to get reservations too, as it was busy. For day of reservations like we did, your entire party will just have to sit side by side at the counter, since apparently table reservations are booked well in advance.

This was an amazing experience. We drove out of our way, on our way from Huntsville, Alabama, to Los Angeles, CA, just to experience this restaurant, and it was well worth the trip. The food was amazing. Everything was super fresh and made the way you want it at your table. The staff were all super friendly and made us feel welcomed. We chatted with the manager. Alex, and our server, Sonny, at length. We were very happy with the food; the flavors were so good, and the noodles to finish were simply delicious. Try the blackberry hibiscus lemonade. It was amazing! All in all, it was a great experience. Excellent parking. Easy to find. Excellent staff and atmosphere, clean bathrooms. I was well pleased!

From the moment I walk in to the time I leave, I always have a great experience thanks to the attentive owner and staff. They warmly welcome new guests, guide them through the experience, assist with hotpot preparation, and ensure everyone has the tools needed for easy and fun cooking. Who knew that dining out and cooking your own food could be such an enjoyable experience! My entire family loves this place, including my picky-eater daughter!

I did not like my experience. Upon entering, a staff member said he would seat us in about 5 minutes, but that didn't happen. He seated someone else that came in immediately after us and ended up going to the kitchen to help. What a great start... After more than 5 minutes of waiting, another staff member greeted us and seated us. Nothing was worth it. The karaage was overcooked and had too much breading. The unami fries were also overcooked and had little beef on them. The bottom was drenched with oil. The crafted drinks, matcha and mango hibiscus to be exact, were nothing but lemonade - there was no hint of mango or matcha. Servers did not seem knowledgeable with the menu items much. The Shabu Shabu was nothing special. The meat quality was not on par with other local Shabu Shabu locations. The soup base was bland. The unlimited veggies was appreciated. The 3 sauces were not bad though. I'm not a teriyaki person, but the teriyaki here was flavorful and not too sweet. The ponzu and peanut sauce were good as well. And automatic 18% tip for the type of service that was provided...?

My family loves going here because it’s nice and it has very quick service. The servers are very friendly, check on you regularly and also remember you when you visit again. Added bonus, it is incredibly tasty. Also it is a fun place to go with your family as you can cook your own food on stoves that are in front of you. My kids think it is the best place because it is super interactive, and they get to chose what they put in their food. This restaurant serves halal and non halal meat options so make sure you ask before ordering.

We added on a soft boiled egg, and did the up charge of $1.50 for crunchy garlic which cannot be missed. Let them dress your sauces!! They know how best to eat it in my opinion. The service is top notch. They just want to serve you as best as possible! If you want a COLD place to eat, this is that place on a HOT Texas afternoon. It's always freezing cold in there and we love that because your meal stays boiling hot the entire time. We love it here and will continue to make the drive from McKinney. Very clean restaurant as well!

One guy in particular made this experience fantastic! He could have been the manager. Other than his kindness, I just can't justify the price and the service. You pay a la carte so it was too expensive to get full. The Wagyu was $50+ for a few thinly sliced pieces of meat. One server had to bend over our table to portion out the sauces. There could be a better way to do that. Her chest was basically in our faces. The noodles portion was super tiny. I probably ate it up in three bites. Do know that it comes with free rice and veggies. Small win.

It has a real Tokyo vibe with absolutely the most friendly helpful staff we were there for the shabu shabu and we were not disappointed the manager set us up at the high top bar fully recommended as you get a bit of a show from the staff they helped my wife to order and do the shabu shabu "thing" she had the steak and I had chicken the order came quick and with a little instruction we were having a ball dipping and cooking and eating right out of the pot a seriously fun place and the up side decent prices great food quality and excellent experience and as I said before amazing service fun fun fun place to go !!! I will definitely be back

Had a very subpar experience here. I had ordered spicy tonkotsu and was busy talking to my friend to realize that it was served as a regular tonkotsu broth to me, and the spicy sauce was on the side. Service was slow even though there were barely any customers there. Really really skimpy on the veggies. The only one they gave plenty of was the cheapest, napa cabbage. Very small selection from the veggie combo. Not very appealing for the price paid.

Walked in as a family of 4 on a Saturday afternoon. It is best to make a reservation, as all of the booths were marked reserved. We got sat at an open table which was no problem. The staff was so very friendly and helpful. Very patient in explaining the menu and gave a demo on how to cook and eat for the best experience. Unlimited rice and veggies. More options available for add ons $ like egg, crunchy garlic. If you order spicy broth, the spice sauce is brought out in a separate bowl so you can add to your desired spice level, which was helpful as we were sharing with our kids. Meat was thinly sliced so only took under a min to cook in boiling broth. You are even able to take home rice and broth left over which is great. We saw that they have a great happy hour! All day Monday-Wed 30% off and after 8:30p Thurs-Sun. We will def be back. Pricing was very reasonable & tip was included. The table was clean as were the bathrooms. They had nice ambient music on, which was nice

This food & atmosphere is great! I loved the overall experience the most. It's a very different style of food, that was new to me & I enjoyed it. The service was awesome, the owner showed me the ropes on how to order, and get the mist out of the menu so that I enjoyed the meal. It was fun & I'll definitely go again with family and friends to share the experience

Wow, where to start? This is the 2nd time I've been to a Yoshi, and the 2nd time was even better than the first. The customer service was over the moon, no less than a half dozen people checked in with us, gave us tips, pointers and excellent recommendations. For how delicious everything is, the price wasn't too bad either. I can't wait to go back again. The quality of the product (I got wagyu and pork belly), veggies, sauces, and noodles were insanely good. The amount of cold sake I got for my one order, was enough to last me all of dinner. Even though there is quite a bit of din, we were able to have an enjoyable dinner, interactive, and could hear each other speak (and I'm hard of hearing) without yelling. We were able to have both the same dining experience with completely different soup base and protein choices.

Slow service and seems unclean/unkempt. Rice tasted like mothballs. Broths were bland. Tables were dirty and sticky. Condiments were visibly dirty. Waiter kept touching everything at our table with his meat slicing gloves. I was uncomfortable eating here as everything seemed unsanitary. Won't be returning.

I would say 4.5 overall, first time here! You order everything a la carte, and I really enjoyed their broth flavors and sides you can add to the soup. We got the tonkotsu broth and spicy capsaicin broth, which were both really flavorful! The tonkotsu broth was rich, just like at a ramen restaurant, and for the spicy soup they give you the spices on the side to add. The ramen noodles were delicious, again similar to ones you might eat at a restaurant; they were chewy and delicious! They give you unlimited vegetables that were all fresh, specifically carrots, mushrooms, tofu, and napa cabbage, and free refills for soup. For meat I got the scallops, wagyu toro, and prime ribeye. I like the wagyu toro the most as I like a little fat for flavor with the meat, but the ribeye was good too. The scallops were alright when cooked, nothing special. You can add things like egg, but for $1.50 I don't think it is worth it. I also got the matcha drink, but it is with lemonade that I didn't see....this just tasted like lemonade, no matcha flavor. Probably wouldn't get these two when I go again. The ambiance is like a modern Japanese interior, with plenty of space. The inside stays cool even with all the pots steaming, making it a nice place! If you like to order a la carte instead of the usual AYCE, I would recommend this place! Service was awesome!! They make the sauces, customize everything for you, check on you regularly, and bring everything super fast. Really awesome service! They charge 18% automatic gratuity, but their service was of amazing quality.

This was not a stellar Shabu restaurant, after eaten at multiple shabu places in the nation. The side of mixed vegetables was tiny (see picture). I opted for the miso broth & the sever brought out a bowl of miso paste, in which I had to mix it into the pot of water myself. Annoying to say the least! My hubby had the sukiyaki broth & it was flavorless that he had to add additional seasoning to his broth. The service was inferior, since it took us asking twice to get our beer order. I don't think we'll be returning again.

The food was great and the service was top notch. 100% recommend! I've never been to a hot pot place before and they explained everything so thoroughly. The staff was super friendly

Let me start off my saying the service was absolutely amazing. Josh, who was the manager and owner is super friendly and very educated on Japanese style cooking. He studied cooking in Japan and had some amazing stories and prepared our ramen. The table service from our waiters was amazing. It was our first time there and they were able to let us try a little bit of each broth before we made our decision. The food was delicious it made it hard for us to leave. I would recommend this spot highly.

My experience at Yoshi Shabu Shabu was exceptional! The staff went above and beyond, not only serving delicious food but also engaging us in the cooking process with hands-on guidance. Their personable and humorous approach made the dining experience memorable and enjoyable. Highly recommend for a fun and delicious meal , it was one of the best dining experiences I've ever had. The restaurant was clean! There weren't too many people in there I believe it's reservation only but don't quote me on that! They have two locations one in Richardson and Plano! We have only experienced the Plano location , but will be trying Richardson for a date night. I wish I would have gotten more photos but when I say we had a blast I mean that whole heartedly and there wasn't much time for photos the food was too good! Josh , personally from my family thank you for having us!

Great service and such a fun way of demonstrating the food and way of explaining the whole she-bang! Very mellow during lunch time, haven't been at night. The servers were very nice and personable!

First off, I've had previous shabu shabu experience in several other restaurants. I'm not new to this. And with that comes expectations. First off, the bowl me and my friend received had boiling water in it with some vegetation that we didn't put there. I had to remind the servers twice of our order - they missed an egg and a few other things. Now, onto the fun part. They replaced the pot with one that had a divider as there were two of us. The main issue was that the pot, on both sides, was full of water. We thought they would, you know, bring us broth. Instead, they brought some (and I use this term extremely lightly) "concentrated" broth and dumped it into our water. Tonkotsu should have a really deep flavor to it. Ours both quite literally tasted like water. This was not broth that was cooked for hours. It was slightly salty water. No exaggeration. The veggies were okay, if you're 100% white bred and not accustomed to a larger selection of veggies, like lotus or bok choy or anything that isn't mushrooms, cabbage, carrots and broccoli. My friend told me this was the whitest interpretation of Shabu Shabu he's ever seen. And I'd agree. The meats were okay. The veggies were okay. But there were cooked in water pretending to be broth. No flavor was imparted. It was a perfectly okay, bland meal with the only flavors added by the hot sesame oil and other sauces which again, were okay. Now. To cap off this ok experience, something craptacular. I noticed on my bill that they so helpfully included a mandatory 18% service fee. And wanted an additional tip on top of that. Neither was this a party of 6-10, where that would be understood. Nor were we told this 18% service fee would be applied before we ordered. This was a table for 2. And on a $100 bill, they gifted themselves $18 and wanted more. Okay food. Okay service. Very white and very bland shabu shabu. And the broth is water. There were many opportunities to recover from this. But the 18% gratuity fee was a firm enough kick in the nuts to make me write yet another review. I have no idea how this place is rated so highly. Maybe eventually it will be replaced with another restaurant with decent non-watered down broth and no 18% gratuity fee. I will not return and I suggest everyone else avoid this place. However, for those of you who enjoy bland, white interpretations of Asian cuisine that make Panda Express look like a Cantonese Culinary Delight, be my guest.

The food here is amazing!, me and my family come here often to eat and we love how there's different broths to choose from and meat. The service was amazing and was really great, the whole place has a really nice set up and the walk with the cherry blossom tree on it is so pretty!

Love the lunch special deal and food is so good for the price and service. But what is this 3% credit card fee charge? And they don't warn you. Just give the receipt and hope we don't say anything? Lucky I had cash to pay and lucky I read my receipts.

Tried this for the first time last night. This place is amazing. Staff were helpful (1st timer) and friendly. They made delicious suggestions and listened to my preferences, such as healthy and spicy! I recommend you give this place a try... already planning to go back soon.

My go to restaurant. Amazing service, great experience, and perfect food! We drive over 30 mins to eat here at least once a week. It is hard to get authentic shabu shabu in the dallas area, this place is a gem! The vegetables are unlimited and our favorite protein is the wagyu ribeye. Josh is super friendly.

I am obsessed with this place! Love the vibe. Love the food. Service is always on point. 10/10

The food was excellent and service was exceptional. I highly recommend this place. Josh and his crew go above and beyond to make sure the experience is top notch!

Hubby chose this place as a surprise very nice atmosphere. The food was nice very much enjoyed our time and the service was very nice as well.

Omg! Shabu is my all time fave and this place we drive 45 mins to enjoy! The staff- chefs kiss! You don't have one person but an entourage to cater to all your needs which makes you feel special and taken care of, I noticed!! The food was delicious, meat super fresh and great quality from the meat- we got filet and choice ribeye and the veggies amazing!! The sauce, YUM! And the kept it coming! Thanks and we'll be back with friends!! My only request... please open a location in Southlake

Food comes freaking slow. Not sure why, os not that a lot of people, servers keeps walking and cleaning but just never bring my food out. That's why it makes me have time to write this review here. Then in one point they come to you and ask? How else do you need? What? There are bunch of things I order you didn't bring out and now you ask me what else???

I always come here when I'm back in town. It is a must! I always get as much beef as possible. They sadly got rid of their enoki mushrooms which were my favorite. I always get the sukiyaki flavor for my pot which is great for making egg drop soup and noodles at the end of the meal!

I had lunch at Yoshi Shabu Shabu with some coworkers, and I'm a fan! I wanted to try a different broth from the lunch special (miso), so I went a la carte, but I seriously recommend the lunch special. I spent about $30 while the lunch special is $15. The meat was good quality and the veggies are unlimited (I kept getting more tofu). They give you 3 bases for your sauces and you can create your own sauce using the chili oil, scallions, garlic, etc. Will be back!

Our first time. The service was extremely excellent! Not only our sever checked up on us, but everyone there, from asking us are we okay, if we needed anything or just clearing our table. Good experience and will return.

Very slow service. I wasn't impressed. I've experienced much better hot pot at other places around DFW. Also, they didn't do a good job explaining to the newcomers who were with me how it works.

I went once years ago. I was disappointed in the fact that they don't give you much instruction on how things work. Yes we got a fast and invasive demo from someone pretty much after ordering but I would have ordered differently if everyone was more patient and clear. The citrus ponzu is skippable. It didn't pair well with anything. $4 for an upgrade to a spicy sauce that really didn't do much. Loved the sparkling water but my refill was a Sprite. I did like the tofu and the cabbage. My friend loved her beef. The music was way too loud to enjoy conversation. All in all it was just an ok experience.

We made a reservation via Yelp for Yoshi Shabu Shabu Plano location. We arrived just before our reservation, and our table was ready (including with the highchair we had requested in notes!) The mural and atmosphere is very fun and enjoyable. We had a delicious meal. It was our first shabu shabu experience, and the waiters gave excellent instructions and showed us how to shabu shabu. Everything we had was delicious. You sit at a table prepped with the hot pot, a plate of veggies and cups of sauces. Then you choose your "base" (or can keep it plain water), your "protein," any additions, then your "noodles." Each item costs anywhere from $2-$10. The $8 plate cost covers your unlimited veggies and rice, so you can ask for more veggies (We asked for more carrots and broccoli) and rice if you wish. They have gluten free options marked. We also got a small plate of karaage for the member of our party who was not interested in shabu shabu. The karaage was an EXCELLENT choice for the picky eater- it was like gourmet chicken nuggets, lol So if it is your first time to try it, just let the server know and they will help you out! The restrooms were clean and well stocked. We had so much fun and thoroughly enjoyed our meal.

I have been to this restaurant several times and while the food has always been great (fresh ribeye, fresh vegetables, flavorful broth, consistency) , their service is horrible. There is never any sense of urgency. They always seem a little confused. It seems to be getting worse. On my last visit we stood at the front door for several minutes before they even acknowledged us and then once they said they would be right with us, we waited several minutes more while staring at a half full restaurant. We were literally asked more than 10 times if we had been to the restaurant before. We had a hard time getting anyone to take our order. Once they did they could not remember what we had ordered. We literally had to order something five times. It was so bad at one point we were laughing as we thought we were in a Saturday night live skit. Everyone is nice but in serious need of training in their own restaurant processes. Customer service is lacking. Shabu Shabu is in need of some service service.

I've dined here on several occasions and have a good idea of what to expect. While the food is always excellent the service is always lacking, yes always. Sadly it's not a lack of effort it's simply the hiring of service staff with little to no experience. Further more they add an automatic 18% gratuity on all checks. My last experience I had to ask for a water 2 times, rice (which comes automatically) twice and my check 3 times. This place would be fantastic if they simply got someone in there to properly train the staff.

Always love eating there. Great food and very tasty! Free refills for vegetables and nice meat selection

This was our first time to visit. It was so fun. Three generations, and we all got to order what we wanted. The service was excellent the food was healthy. Great place. We can't wait to go back.

Found happiness in Plano. Japanese style sabu shabu . For our soup, we opted for miso. We ordered 2 portions of Prime ribeye, 1 portion of wagyu ribeye (mimics the Japanese style wagyu) and a portion of pork belly. We are happy with the quality of all the meats we ordered. There is a setting fee per person . That includes tahe unlimited veggies, rice and sauces. I love the Sesame peanut sauce. I added the red spice and red oil they had on the table. Service was excellent. We will definitely be back.

Pretty okay place for shabu shabu. They had high grade meats and a few appetizer options. I found the veggie options a bit lacking and my broth was just okay.

The food is so flavorful and the service is impeccable. They are so friendly and attentive. Happy hour is a great deal!!!! I definitely recommend. Best shabu in the area! They also play good music which is a plus. The environment is very clean.

This place is so good! Everything is fresh & delicious. So many great sauces to dip in. The staff is so friendly & helpful too. I could seriously eat here every single day.

Underwhelmed. First time at hot pot was disappointing. I didn't know it was just a boiling bowl of water they added soup base to - I prefer KBBQ when working with the thin sliced meat. Unfortunately, everything was bland and ended up being much more expensive than I expected. KBBQ is a better deal.

Food was good. Ambiance was good. Service was good, Stephanie was our first waitress and she was great. Then we had our meat cut and delivered by another waitress who needs a new job, one that she doesn't n't see people at. The only other critique is that it's a little pricey especially after they put the auto 18% tip on. I'd probably do more than that but I think that's why the second waitress can get away with being a Jerk. They get a tip no matter what and there's nothing to strive for.

Well, I said I would never go back here but a friends birthday dinner here changed that for me. I figured I would try different options and see if it is any better than last time I was here. I was starving and since we were still waiting for rest of the large party to get there I ordered an appetizer. I got there Gyoza $8.00 5pcs which are fried dumplings and they were pretty good. Nice and crispy, the dipping sauce it came with I believe is a chipotle mayo but it was good as well. I also ordered an Osaka Old Fashioned $11.00 whish was okay, way too sweet for my liking. The Shabu Shabu adult set is $7.50 and you must pick at least 1 protein so I went with the Pork Berkshire $6.00, chose the Tonkotsu broth $5.00 and got Ramen noodles $2.50. This was more flavorful then my last option but just barely. I will note that the meat seemed to be more plentiful this go around. I used all of one of the sauces and mixed it in with the steamed rice it came with which was not bad. I did get to try some of the Fried Rice appetizer which is a large portion and it was delicious and tasty. Our service was a little confusing at first as we seemed to have 2 different servers doing the same thing of explaining how it works and taking drink and appetizer orders but settled once it was just 1 of them. The service was great after that and we were checked on for refills and more drinks regularly by our server and others, great service! For the hot pot portion, it ended up being $21.00 for my selections and I do not think it is worth it for what you get still. Not sure if you can go and just order small plates or not but that is what I would probably do if I end up back here again as those all seemed to be pretty good and tasty.

Amazing as always!!! Yum! I try to have this Shabu Shabu every time I come to Dallas!

Man what a disappointment. Let me tell you one thing. Any time a restaurant is adding gratuity to every single check, this is how you should know the service is going to be bad because the servers are no longer earning their tips and it's being handed to them. And this was such a shame because the food here is actually quite good, but the abysmal service ruins the entire experience. Let me break it down: 1. We arrived at 6:50 pm for a 7 pm reservation and we were seated immediately. Started off well. Our server came by and explained how Shabu Shabu works and then proceeded to explain how you are automatically charged $8 per person for unlimited rice, veggies and sauces. *eye roll*. Sounds good in theory except your server isn't anywhere to be found to ask for more rice, veggies or sauces. Not to mention the reason they call this "unlimited" is because a) the veggies are basically a massive plate of cabbage with 1 mushroom and 1 broccoli and b) no one can eat more than one bowl of rice or more than 3 bowls of sauce which are included. So that's a scam. 2. We ordered the steamed gyoza for appetizers, these were very good. We went with the spicy miso broth which was a good choice. For meats we mostly ordered wagyu beef along with chicken and shrimp and udon noodles. 3. Let's talk about utensils. I am perfectly comfortable using chopsticks, however I find it highly unhygienic to be using my chopsticks to take the raw meat and place it in the pot and then use these same chopsticks to eat my cooked food. A pair of tongs would go a long way 4. For drinks I ordered a cosmo martini. While it was good, it doesn't even come in a martini glass. About halfway through dinner our server disappeared completely. We finally flagged down another one at which point we had so many things that we were waiting to be taken care of, one of which being that I wanted another drink. My drink came out about 20 mins later at which point I was done with my meal. What a waste. 5. They literally didn't have a single dessert option that appealed to us so we went elsewhere as we also didn't want to risk waiting an hour for some ice cream that they probably scooped out of a tub. So all in all, we will NOT be back.

first walked in every table was dirty. took 10 mins to be sat despite servers just talking amongst one another. we were then sat and weren't spoken to or walked through the process for another 10 (by someone who wasn't our server). orders of meat, add one and rice were forgotten on numerous occasions. I came with really high hopes I drove an hour away on my bday week to have a memorable fun experience but most of the servers could care less and made the experience less valuable. also my bf specified our checks were combined and yet still they were dropped separately. overall expected more...

easily one of my favorite shabu spots! i'm not used to getting hot pot / shabu other than AYCE but this was awesome! we got two orders of wagyu toro, prime ribeye and choice ribeye, and that ended up being enough for a group of 4 with all the veggies, some noodles, and rice as well. the meats come in quarter lb servings but i recommend ordering the meats family style! it's also reasonably priced- i think our bill came out to be ~$35/person. so we got full for around the price or a little less than normal ayce hotpot - but the quality of the meat, presentation, and experience in general is, in my opinion, better than that of a normal ayce hotpot place. the staff were super friendly and made sure our first time was a blast :) they're all very knowledgable and accommodating in making sure we knew what was going on. can't wait to come back!

I don't write many reviews unless I really like the place. That said, Yoshi's will be my goto place when I am in the mood for Japanese shabu shabu. Mahalo to Josh and the crew tonight for making us feel at home. If they recommend something you should definitely try it. The spicy tonkatsu broth was a perfect spice level and didn't overpower the meat and veggies. We didn't get to try any adult beverages tonight but that would be another reason to go back!

The food and service was very good. We will be going back. I had the beef Pho and shou6have ordered a larger bowl.

Halal hot pot in frisco has my heart - fresh meat and friendly staff, super tasty. The servers are well informed and help flavor your pots which I rlly appreciated as a first time. The apps are pretty good too. Would highly recommend, shoutout for being halal!:)

The food was delicious and the staff was very nice and welcoming. I would definitely recommend.
