1/30/2026 = 6:30PM = 4 Star = Food is Geat , server are verygood too , some chair need upgrade , the line to get sa sauce is so long , I just didn't bother to go inline coz you have only 90min dine in, they should put double on everything so it will not have a long line. May be its good when it's not busy . The cook top don't have an exhaust fan, that's why all the smell of food will smell on your clothes, maybe will still try it again .

I LOVE BROTH!

Besides the food and the great vibes, my favorite thing is that I can check in through Yelp ahead of time. This saves me a lot of waiting time.

I do want to say that for a Holiday (example New Years Day) the wait was later than anticipated. I checked in at 5:40 but did not get seated until 8pm. I did not mind though since I got there at 7:30is and didn't have to wait long.

I love this place and bring all my friends to eat here when I can. The service is great, meat if fresh, the broth itself is delicious even without adding any sauces, and they have a variety of food.

10/10 my favorite hot pot

Sunday dinner with the cousins! We decided on shabu because it was perfect for the cold weather.

Parking: This spot is located in a high foot traffic plaza. Finding a parking spot is going to be difficult. Good luck!

Ambiance/Environment: They have a large space with plenty of indoor seating. It was extremely busy on Sunday night. The amount of people felt overwhelming and crowded. Wait times can be longer, especially for a large group like our’s. They have a buffet for sides and a station for sauces. Everything was kept clean and filled despite how busy it was. Love the music; if you’re a millennial baby, then you’ll appreciate the throwbacks.

Service: I joined the waitlist on Yelp and was quoted a 41-62 minute wait. I was able to see my place in line through Yelp, and they also texted me updates. When my cousins and I arrived, we waited about 5 minutes then our table was ready. The host escorted us to a table outside. Thankfully there are heaters outside. Each server was quick & efficient. We were checked on a few times, but it can be difficult to wave a server down since it was so busy.

Food: I chose Sukiyaki broth. It was really good and not too salty. You’d order meats through your server. I really like the lean cuts! The fattier cuts were also mouthwatering. The vegetables and other toppings were fresh.

Pricing: There is a 1.5 hour dining limit. Any excessive leftovers will be charged. We enjoyed everything and will definitely be back! My only critique is to keep the training off the floor and away from customers, especially while they’re trying to enjoy a meal. We prefer not to hear restaurant talk right behind us.

Shawn our waiter was amazing! Such a pleasant young man. Very respectful and attentive to my family. I was there with my kids and grandkids they all enjoyed Shawn and his kindness to ensure we had a pleasant dinner. We will return the food was great but the service we received was the best!

Terrible service, asked multiple times for over an hour for them to please restock the veggies and they kept saying 10 more minutes they’re washing it, so eventually i asked them to at least get me a small portion because i’m going to finish my meal soon, 15 minutes later still nothing. So i finished my meal and talked to the manager and gave them feedback and he kept making excuses about it and refused to do anything about it.

I joined the waitlist through yelp. It had no options for outdoor or indoor dining. Got a text saying table was ready and it wasn’t. Waited an additional 30mins. Host sat me outside and it was freezing. I told him I rather sit inside and he replied you should have chosen that option. I told him there was no option and he replied well next time do it. Extremely rude staff and these 2 hosts were just standing there laughing trying to be low key about it. They kept seating people about 5 tables before me. I heard about 3 more families complaining about being seated outside. Food was ehh like a 5/10. I can’t believe they hire people who are this rude. Waited almost an hour to get seated!

I stopped by this past Saturday during the rain. We put our name down on Yelp waitlist at 4:07 PM and the list was long, so we wandered the shops nearby until we finally got seated at 6:00 PM.
The food was actually cool for what it is, and the servers got us set up pretty fast once we sat down. However, the experience was ruined by the facility maintenance. We were seated right under an AC vent that was leaking water due to the rain directly on me.
I brought it to the waiter's attention, but he didn't care do anything about it other than claiming to bring it up to the Manager. No discount, no apology—just dropped the bill and moved on. The party next to us was dealing with the same thing, and they even seated new people in the wet spots right after we left. I recommend the food, but definitely check the ceiling before you sit down unless your broth missing flavor and don’t mind it.

This is my wife and i’s favorite go-to. Great varieties of meats . The broths are always delicious and tasty. They also have a great variety of vegetables and other toppings that one can pick out from to make their soup unique to their liking. Great alcoholic beverages as well. On the weekends it does get busy and the wait can be a while , but it is worth it

Good meat, great buffet selection and you have your own broth bowl on a heat-controlled. We have visited during lunch and it’s only $20.99. Great price for all you can eat, can’t beat that 👍🏼

Good food with great price.

For vegans, order the miso or spicy miso with hot water instead of the normal non vegan broth. I had to ask for more miso because it was bland at first, but they happily brought me some to add in. Lots of yummy veggies to add in from the buffet bar. My meat eater family loved it too.Not rating atmosphere because some people will love it, some won't. It was crowded, lively, loud (from conversation, not music)

Very tasty food, good seafood and meat variety, however the vegetables and the broth wasn’t the greatest.
My ratings:
1 being the worst, 10 being the best

Meat slices: 9/10 Very fresh looking/tasting meat, very thinly sliced, however a couple meats had a slightly off texture, but barely noticable

Broth: 7.5/10 I got the original house broth, Very aromatic however the flavor was a little off for some reason

Vegetables: 7.5/10 Ok variety, vegetables didn't look very fresh, but still tasted good

Seafood: 9/10 Looked and tasted very fresh and had a good texture, no complaints

Overall, 8/10 food quality
Would come back eventually, Good service, a little noisy atmosphere, but I liked it
