I don’t know what is up today, it’s like my third or fourth time back in this place. First, talking about the food, the menu changed, so many of the “preieum” menu stuff were upgraded to “reserve” menu which make you pay like 20 bucks more. The takoyaki was still frozen inside, some of the grill food were burned, the seafood tastes kind of weird, the meat was ok. As for the service, there were 2 people serving us, one younger guy and an older guy. The older guy lead us to our seats, the younger guy ask what we want to eat. We said we want the premium menu, there was no water, no sauce, not even a bowl was brought to us. And they didn’t treat everyone the same because the group in front of us was well served and as for the group that came after us. They didn’t give us the paper to check to order more things, and we had to ask them for it. They keep the paper after the first order and we have to ask for it again. It took quite long for them to bring the food up too. I don’t think I’ll visit again.

Came in when they just opened on a Saturday and it was alone and quiet, which was exactly what I was hoping. The food was great and the staff were friendly. Definitely coming here again

Yuzu Shabu is on my rotation of locally frequented spots. The menu is a little daunting because there can be so many combinations to suit one's preferences. I almost always get the set menu of seafood: shrimp, fish, mussels, fish balls, with either konbu citrus or miso (last time i got them both mixed), the side bowl of vegetables has both bok choy and napa cabbage slices, enoki mushroom, squash, taro, your choice of udon or ramen noodles. This is enough for 2 to share, or in may case, leftover for lunch the next day. Meat set menu has thinly shaved beef ranging from 6 ounces to 10 ounces sizes. You can also customize the soup from mild to spicy and explosively spicy levels, I prefer to stay on the non spicy level for shabu shabu. They have a lunch special AYCE option.

We had an amazing first visit to Yuzu! Our waitress, Adrienne, was fantastic. She walked us through the menu, recommended the perfect broths and meats, and even explained each condiment and sauce so we could get the full experience.
The food was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The “Dinner for Two” was more than enough for the three of us to share. We came in on a Friday at 11:20 AM, and the service was excellent, attentive, friendly, and never rushed.
Overall, delicious food, generous portions, and outstanding service. We’ll definitely be back!

This place is our favorite! My husband will only eat Shabu here. The service and food are amazing. I always recommend family and friends to come here and they’re never disappointed ☺️

There is a reason why BROTH Shabu has a 2 hour wait time on a Friday night and this place is wide open.
First off, we sat at 8:30 for AYCE, and our server told us last call for meat was 9? LOL. We ordered immediately and the first round of food didn’t come til 8:55. So we of course were a bit worried we wouldn’t get to take advantage of the AYCE.
Meat is the same quality as the other AYCE options for double the price.
Premium menus is a scam for AYCE. The “Wagyu” is as tough as eye round. They say “oh it’s the end of the slab of meat, that’s why it’s like that”
If you get different meat options (ex. lamb, belly, brisket, wagyu), they pile it all on top of each other so it’s difficult to separate or identify which meat is which.
If you get specific vegetables for each individual at your table, they just pile it all into one bowl. The numerical value you put on the order sheet is irrelevant. They put as much or as little as they feel.
Water tasted like dish tap. Buddy said his lemonade had a funk to it.
Getting any service feels like you are bothering them.
Any order took 15-20 minutes to arrive, whether it was meat or noodles.
Just an overall lame experience.

one of my top shabu to eat the staff is really nice and welcoming. My favorite broth would be the TomYum for the price and AYCE hard to beat.

I'm Japanese living in LA. I ordered the normal AYCE. It was $38. The contents of the all-you-can-eat shabu-shabu are quite satisfying. Above all, I went at 12 noon on a Sunday, and the store was empty, so I was able to get in without waiting. I also ordered the raw egg twice and enjoyed it in combination with the sukiyaki soup!
The problem is that the location is far away. I wish it was near Santa Monica so I could go there many times.
Went on 6/5/24 at 1120 am was not open…. Someone came to door and told us we're still cleaning and and we wont be open till 12….

Ate here on a Tuesday and there was nobody else besides us and the employees. We got the premium AYCE option, and overall it was a very mediocre experience with too high of a price. For the price of the premium menu, there are much better options around.The good: The premium shabu-shabu meats are very good quality, and the sauces are tasty! Service was quick, and the employees are nice.The bad: The veggies are not fresh. Most "green" veggies were yellow, and mushrooms tasted off. The grilled meats are VERY small portions.

Dirty seats and trash all over the places. Food is horribly cut, different sizes of tofu and carrots. Overpriced for the level of service, cleanness, and quality of food. Everything unorganized, the online and all things describing are different then the vibe you feel in the restaurant…
