I always like this place a lot for its cheap price. The store recently caught fire so currently it is closed for repairs.

A tasteless bowl of warm water in which you have to cook your food yourself. About all the restaurant does is slice up the meat. Gruff, rude service, interminable wait times even after being seated, and elbow to elbow with strangers sneezing on your food. No thanks. Dining out should not include you cooking.

There forget a lot of things and the food taste like air but I like the atmosphere and the looks make the restaurant seem good. They also don’t give you a lot for

Have been coming here for almost a year, at least once a month or 2.I always love their beef belly! Really recommend it. Their main seating is like a bar setting, with only about 3-4 booths available.They have 3 tiers for their AYCE. It can be relatively decent price of low $20s to as high as 35$ -ish.Higher the tier, the more appetizers and sushi you can add.At the end, you get a free smol ice cream. I typically notice it is either green tea or vanilla flavor.Really recommend if you have a small party. Larger parties are welcomed, but expect to wait a while since seating is more catered to smaller parties.

Possibly the worst service and dining experience I've ever encountered. The manager had to come out multiple times to correct the servers, who are either entirely untrained or just give no F's. And most supposedly family friendly facilities might say something to people who are visibly drunk, over served, cursing at the top of their lungs. How many f bombs is a reasonable number to hear b when you have kids with you, or just want to eat a meal in peace?

Very good food and overall a fun experience. The only thing is they open at 5 so you will be waiting a loooooong time unless you come around 445 and get in when they open

Place is hit and miss. They Love to close early because it was a busy night. Find a different shabu as this place isn’t reliable

An impeccable experience! For $25, the AYCE #2 is a great deal! The spicy beef broth was adequately spicy, the meats were of good quality, and the side orders were also cooked to order. Will be back!

Excellent place to experience all you can eat hotpot and sushi. The meat was very fresh and the broth was flavorful. The sushi rolls are made to order and the tempura is very crispy. Add the spicy drops to the broth for bonus flavor. Staff is quick in serving and very attentive.

Hot night roll and shabu shabu roll are underrated. They have habanero extract that goes in your ponzi sauce that really helps flavor a lot of the bland meats. It's Halal so that's a big plus for me.

Service was fabulous. Food was delicious

Haven’t been back in over two years and sadly, it’s terrible from food to service. Don’t waste your money and go somewhere else. The quality of meat is more fat than meat. The second star for the young man who saw us wait for our food. He looked frustrated that his coworker did not bring out all our orders and didn’t give us spoons. Sorry but this place will never see my face nor thoseOf my family again.

This is more of a unique review for me compared to the rest of my reviews. That being when we were looking for Shabu Shabu, we wanted to find a spot that served halal meat options.#1 The servers were second to none. The person that stood out the most was Emerald. Always had a great attitude, work ethic, and patient with my very newb of a friend. She was on it. Give her a raise now before it's too late!#2 The food was great. We went with the AYCE Special #2 since that's where most of the halal meats were. The price is not unreasonable. Special #1 is more for those that are on a budget. Most restaraunts are similarly priced.#3 complimentary ice cream! You can't say no to that. For me, that's the best part of the meal. Soaking in all that meaty flavor and then washing the excessiveness with some ice cream.Highly recommend this place, these are my item recommendations:Spicy Miso base (Beef stock)Ponzu & spicy Goma sauce (Contains Mirin)Halal Ribeye, Halal Lamb, Halal chicken,Kobe beef, salmon sushi, squash and mushrooms. Finished off with the ice cream of the day.

Great pricepoint for an AYCE shabu and select sushi rolls. Vegetables are provided, so the meal didn’t feel heavy at all. Beef and pork belly were very tender, and the spicy crunchy roll was probably the best sushi roll they had to offer with the AYCE deal
