Shabuya is a solid AYCE shabu shabu spot located in Alhambra. The meats are served quickly and are of high quality, making it a great choice for a meal. The restaurant offers individual pots and stoves for each person, along with a variety of soup options and different meat choices. Guests can grab veggies, sauces, rice, and other ingredients from self-serve bars. While the miso broth has been noted as bland and watery, mixing sauces from the buffet bar helps enhance the flavor. Customers can sample the soup before deciding, which adds a nice touch.
The atmosphere is pleasant, with enough space that guests do not feel claustrophobic, even when the restaurant is busy. The prime blade and iron flat steak have received praise, and there are plenty of options at the sides bar. However, some diners have pointed out that the seats may not be cleaned thoroughly between parties, as some chairs had grease on them.
Shabuya can get crowded during dinner, especially on weekends, but there is ample parking available in the large plaza. The price, around $35 per person, is considered worth it given the quality and quantity of food. Although the service has been described as just okay, with guests needing to flag down servers for orders, the staff remains friendly. Additionally, the restaurant's ice cream is a highlight. Overall, Shabuya is a great place to enjoy shabu shabu with friends and family.
