I’ve been coming to this hot pot restaurant regularly since moving to Irvine, and overall I enjoy it. The place is always clean, and the staff are consistently friendly and attentive. The hot food station has a smaller selection, but the items are flavorful. I also appreciate the variety in the seafood and vegetable sections.
That said, given the price point ($29.99 for weekday lunch, $37.99 for dinner and weekends), I wish the meat quality matched the rest of the experience. Some of the cuts appear to be formed (restructured) meat, and offering higher-grade cuts would really elevate the value.

Food is good. I like how they let you self serve your own broth where you can pick at the food court. Fried chicken is good. Having shaved ice the best part after a meal. They keep the court nicely organized. Servers are always on task to check up with you and clean your area of unwanted dishes. Its cramped but I can see that is to control traffic to be on task keeping the area clean.

My coworker brought me here for the first time and I was pleasantly surprised! We were seated right away, the staff were very welcoming and sweet, and the food was delicious! The restaurant is kept very clean and neat. The food bar was fully stocked! They had a variety of flavors/seasonings for your broth, fresh veggies/tofu, and seafood, cooked items including fried chicken, fried rice, short rib patties, tempura, and lastly, they have a yummy shaved ice station for dessert! We chose options 1-3 for meat, which was all beef, but they have chicken and pork options available as well. Everything was so delicious! I'll definitely be coming back here. This was the best hot pot l've had!

I do NOT recommend this place for large parties. They give you a 90 minute limit. And for a large party, ordering alone can take 30 minutes. They also have alcohol. Imagine you have to order your food, your alcohol, and feed your children in less than 90 minutes. We did not even have enough time to order a second dish. Buffet by name only.

This is my go-to Shabu spot! It's the perfect place for me to catch up with friends from Orange and LA County, especially since I'm based in San Diego County. They have an awesome variety of ingredients and meats to choose from. I fell in love with Shabu when I was stationed in South Korea, and it’s been one of my favorites ever since!

Great quality meats and lots of vegetables to choose from. Staff is very quick with clearing plates. The prepared foods are pretty good too. Fair price for a weekday AYCE lunch.

One of the better hot pot places near Irvine. this place has a large variety of food selections, also got individual pots per person which you can mix using provided soup base from the buffet bar. The buffet bar has a good mix of food there and our kids loved the shaved ice. Hard to explain with words so this is a must try!
