Price is slightly higher than other competitors, but the food is not really worth the price.
Pros: Beef is fresh Dessert (red bean with shaved ice) is yummy
Cons: very few food selections Very few self service side ingredients selections Seafood quality is low, frozen for long time Very limited sauce choices (no sesame sauce) Pot looks dirty No beef tongue

Delicious food, calm atmosphere, and great service. It was my first time trying Jin Shabu, but the experience was wonderful and I can't wait to visit again.
They offer a sort of cook-it-yourself experience where you order up to two kinds of broths, and they bring them to you in a large pot that goes over your tabletop grill. You receive meats from your server, and have access to a self-serve bar of vegetables, noodles, seafood, and spices.
Because it is so customizable you can really experiment with flavors and come up with some delightful combinations. I was a big fan of the brisket and octopus in the spicy broth, and my fiancée enjoyed the pork belly in the sweet broth. Both pots also complemented each other quite well!
My favorite part of the ambiance was the privacy curtains. Because tables are all next to each other I imagine it would be easy to see what other diners are doing, but the curtains add a sense of privacy that made us feel like we were almost dining alone. Our service was also excellent. We had several people working in the restaurant come by during the meal to make sure we had all the broth, water, and meats that we wanted.
Definitely try Jin Shabu! It is delicious and well worth the money spent!

Shout out to the server that took care of me W service and didn’t make me feel embarrassed for my decision.
I came in about a week ago, used to like this place a lot. I will say recently something tastes off about the meat, lol I actually ended up throwing up here one time after eating out with my friends. BUT that’s not the point, something tastes off about the meat but I don’t pay any attention to it cause I’m already locked in, I sat down, I ate meat and I don’t like causing issues so there’s no turning back now. Waiter comes in asks what I want. I tell her 2 things of beef belly to start me off, and that free big box of beef with the green onions and stuff. After letting the broth come to a boil I try to start eating. But a fly is buzzing around me, I pay no attention to it…. Until I see it lands on that big box of beef. I separate the pieces it lands on and I notice the fly is still hovering around aiming for my food. So I panic and dump the rest in the pot. I’m not shoveling this food down my throat cause I don’t want to overcook the meat lol…… UNTIL the fly starts landing on my other plate of meat. At this point I don’t want to battle the fly so I call my waiter over I ask if I can just be checked out and told her the issue. She was super kind and told me she would cover it and I could leave if I wanted to. There was a lot of meat still visible at my table and it was obvious I didn’t get to eat, I just didn’t want the thought of me eating after a fly. Told the waiter I’d still like to tip her, but I didn’t have cash. So I presume she spoke with her manager. The manager then only gave me a 20% discount…. Which was pretty much just tax taken off. Manager didn’t care but the waiter cared. Sadly I won’t be coming back, wish it was different but if the manager had just come to my table to talk to me maybe she’d see I was just being honest. But I didn’t want to be a Karen or give anyone a hard time so I paid my dues and left.
Thank you to the waiter that served me I wish I took your name down. Shame on the manager that couldn’t even talk to me about the issue and just charged me pretty much full price. You’re lucky I’m not a Karen and hate public confrontation. But sadly quality of food here has gone down and the lack of empathy from management shows. Won’t be comming back

Quality met expectations across the board. They charged me dinner price even though we arrived at 130pm. I didnt question and was happy to pay the bill. There is probably another step up above this somewhere but at double the price or more.

The food was extremely stale, which is concerning. The crab was foul-smelling, reeking of rot, and one of our friends vomited after eating it.

Absolutely love this place! We’ve been here a couple times and both times had the best experience. Our host and server was so nice and friendly and the food was great. We love Shabu Shabu, there are not many places that serve it but Jin Shabu is amazing. It’s all you can eat and the ingredients are all fresh and good, there is also a free little dessert included.

I recommend looking at hot pot videos and learning how to put together your meal before coming to this place so that you don't feel lost and have a negative experience.
That's what happened to me on my first visit. I winged it without a clue and felt disappointed.
They use premium ingredients and the servers are always attentive.

I had a good experience at first . The food was fresh , the experience was good, and staff was great as well. When I paid my bill I went to the restroom and it dampened the whole experience.The restroom was nasty and disgusting I thought I warped into another time and place . From the mirrors , to the sinks , floors and toilets look like it has never been cleaned.I was always taught if your restroom is nasty you’re nasty. I will not go back until they remodeled it brick by brick.

Went there to celebrate my daughter's graduation. Food was okay. A lot of work for the price. Table gets crowded with all the plates and not sure what to do with empty plates from food bar? Waitstaff never offered to take any away, so we used them to put shrimp and crab shells on, but then table was too crowded to bring any new plates. Was that a way to restrict us from going to the food bar too much? At the end, there was a medium size cock roach that climbed over the back of our seat and down to our seat cushion. Waitstaff did not seem alarmed upon mentioning that.
