Great tasting food. Not much of a wait for us and was seated within minutes.
Recommended dishes: Shabu Combo, Miso, Wagyu Beef
Shack is an apt name for this restaurant. It seemed clean, reasonabke price for ayce about $40/person.
The sauce bar veggies were a bit wilted but edible.
There was a bug in the Napa cabbage they brought. They replaced it no issue. None of the veggies seemed super fresh. The enoki and spinach were wilted.
The meat was good quality, and I liked the sauce bar selection.
The server shut off my pot twice without asking if I was done before the 90 minute limit was up and I had just ordered tofu 10 minutes before hand.
Not a place I'd go back to but it did alright in a pinch.

I would say that I’m a bit experienced when it comes to hot pot restaurants.
Not by personal preference, but because my dad really likes wagyu beef.
And if you’re picking up the bill and you let me talk the whole time, then I’m fine if you don’t want to try the Liberian restaurant that I picked out.
We did the “All you can eat” option, which I think was $38 per person (I wasn’t looking at the prices very much 😬). Actually there were plenty of options for dietary restrictions in terms of broth choices, which I think is kind of uncommon for this style of restaurant.
There’s a fee if you don’t finish what you ordered for the all you can eat, but we didn’t have a problem with that (none of us ate lunch 😂)
Menu highlights:
I liked the miso broth, the enoki mushrooms, and the fish balls with roe. My dad liked the spicy sichuan broth, beef belly, and wagyu.

Excellent Food and service. Quality of food is above par - we like it so much that we’ve been going here at least once a week for the last year or so…lol

Disappointed service. Only one waiter for 6 tables. Everyone was waiting food and etc. food was fresh and restaurant clean. Again, service was not good enough. I think they need at least two waiter or waitress. It was too much for him to handling 5-6 tables with big groups at busy dinner time. 09/24 @5pm

Their hot pot broth is not even half decent, it was horrible, the tonkotsu broth along with all the others are beat by nearly every hot pot place in the county, so you're basically eating bottom of the barrel. If you don't mind all that, this place is for you. It's cheap!

Drove an hour and a half to try this place. Had the spicy Sichuan. My kid loved it, I don't think it's worth a frequent drive, but it was worth the try. The American wagyu is great.
However the service was AMAZING! We went on April 6, around 6 pm and there were only 2 servers, it was starting to get busy and they still took the time to ask if it was our time and explained how hot pot worked. They frequently checked on us and although they were busy, they never forgot when we requested additional sides.
So for the service, I give it 5 stars.
The best shabu shabu in
Went when it opened at 6pm for dinner and we were by ourselves for almost 30 minutes and enjoyed a very relaxed atmosphere it did get busier as the night progressed but the food and service was awesome

The broth is so good! I like the amount of vegetables and meat you get. Service is good and staff are friendly. I'd go back for broth alone.
So good. Enjoyable experience. Great service.
