The music and environment was chill. My group went on a Wednesday evening so it was not slammed.They have an all you can eat option but my girlfriend and I filled up on the shared ribeye option with spicy miso tonkatsu. It's a pricier option which adds up to about 50 per person including the sake.Our server was Gabby and she was attentive, kind, and knowledgeable about the menu!

Wow, Miyabi Shabu is awesome. It’s my friend’s favorite shabu spot in Irvine and I can see why! The service, food and atmosphere were all on point.I ordered the large angus top blade which was the leanest cut of meat. My friend ordered the plate of beef tongue. Both cuts were delicious, and the veggies with noodles for the end were perfection. I got the tonkotsu soup and enjoyed it thoroughly. Will definitely be back when in Irvine!

This is our go to shabu place. We come here every couple of months and it feels like whenever we come back the menu has changed. Not sure why, different management or what but at least the meat quality stays the same.Service is good up until you get your food, then you have to make it a mission to track one down to request more rice or soup utensils.They don't do the stamp cards anymore but honored ours last night which was great.Will be back again (and probably to a new menu hahah)

miyabi shabu is such an amazing comfort food spot for high quality shabu ??All of the meat cuts are so fresh because they slice each plate of meat on site. The meat was sooo high quality and tender, it made such a difference!!?️Ordered:1. (4) soups (miso tonkatsu, yuzu, sukiyaki)2. Angus rib eye prime3. Wagyu beef toro (beef belly)4. New Zealand lamb5. Wagyu karubi (short rib)Each of the soups came with a platter of veggies and rice with crispy garlic. The rice was SOO fragrant and delicious because of the added garlic, it’s such a good touch! Also the veggies are unlimited refill which was nice. Overall, I had such a great experience here and would absolutely come back!! So sad that OC is far from LA because there’s so many good spots here!

*UPDATED REVIEW:HOLY MOLY!!Miyabi Shabu has FREAKINN AYCE MENU NOW!!??I came here for their 10 Year Anniversary AYCE and it was absolutely delicious!The thing that makes this AYCE SHABU RESTAURANT stand out from some of the other restaurants in OC is that this place is serving AYCE with their A La Carte Proteins! Generally, when one dines in at a traditional AYCE shabu restaurant, the meat quality (IMO) tends to be a little poorer and not so high quality. But since this place was initially established as a non-AYCE restaurant, it feels like their PRIME RIBEYE here is far more superior vs. the PRIME RIBEYE at the traditional AYCE (...or if the restaurant even offers it on the menu). Another standout thing for me about MIYABI SHABU is their broth selection (Taiwanese Spicy, Tonkotsu, and Tom Yum are my general go tos!And the BEST THING OF ALL...The AYCE menu includes BOTH SHABU and GRILL items!Heres their AYCE menu:BROTH MENU:-Miso-Tonkotsu-Miso Tonkotsu-Sukiyaki-Yuzu-Garlic Pepper-Tom Yum-Kimchi-Taiwanese SpicySHABU AYCE MENU:-Beef Belly (Toro)-Chuck Roll (Kata Rosu)-Short Rib (Karubi)-Prime Tongue-Pork Belly-Seafood (salmon, scallop, shrimp)-Angus Top Blade-Prime Angus Ribeye-Denver Steak (Zabuton)-Jidori Chicken Breast-New Zealand LambYAKINUKU AYCE MENU:-Beef Belly (Toro)-Chuck Roll (Kata Rosu)-Short Rib (Karubi)-Prime Tongue-Pork Belly-Seafood (salmon, scallop, shrimp)-Angus Top Blade-Prime Angus Ribeye-Denver Steak (Zabuton)-Jidori Chicken Breast-New Zealand Lamb-Marinated Pork (Spicy Bulgolgi)I even had a chance to speak with the owner after dinner and It looks and it looks like the AYCE MENU will become a monthly thing! Stay tuned and be sure to check out their instagram page (@miyabishabu) for more info!HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!UNTIL THEN!! ^-^

Food was very nice and cozy atmosphere. Not noisy at all. Overall very good!
This is Irvine's most delicious shabu-shabu restaurant. The quality of the meat is the best and the sauce tastes good. I ordered ribs today and the marbling was so beautiful. It is also a place where employees are very kind and always visit again. I will definitely visit again soon!

The best lunch special!Working in Irvine i get a lot of food choices when it comes to lunch time. But Miyabi is definitely a special treat.I've been coming here for a few years and it always hits the spot.I ordered the beef belly lunch special with yuzu broth and it was so good. This definitely took me to flavor town. It was my first time ordering the yuzu broth but i don't think i can ever go back.An all around good spot to come with friends for lunch or dinner - service is good and restaurant is always clean. Can't wait until the next time i get to come back!

There's a reason why this is my favorite shabu spot. Service is excellent and the meat quality and broth options are amazing.

I have been here numerous times and they are still good every time. The only negatives are that they have gotten more expensive and the amount of udon and glass noodles have gotten smaller. Now onto the positives. I love the toro (beef belly), which I order every time, at least for my last few visits. My favorite broth is their Spicy Miso Tonkotsu. I love that they allow heat drops in both the broth and sauces if we want an extra kick. On my last visit, I did two heat drops in my broth and my goma, and one heat drop in my ponzu, which was perfect. I might do 3 or 4 heat drops in my broth for my next visit though. One thing that I tried in my last visit was the peach beer, which I thought was delicious.

I'm actually surprised I haven't written a review for this restaurant - as it is one of my favorite places to go! For either a date night, with friends and family, or for just a quick lunch... great spot! I love it so much I have even ordered it to go! Broth is always delicious and with large portions. I've tried almost all of their broth but my favorite is the Tom Yum and I always ask for it to come spicy. Their meats are fresh and sliced per order. My husband loves their goma and I can't get enough of their ponzu sauce. Service is great! It's definitely a place where you sit and want to take your time, enjoy, have conversations, leave happy and full!! Try it!!! Fun times ahead!
