Nope. Do not go there. I read the reviews before going and the “not so good” ones were about the service. What about the food???!! The food was terrible. Sushi was bitter and we sent it back. I am scared I will be sick from it. Soup bases not good. Very small noodle and veggie bar. You can have only one dessert for person and 2 of them weren’t available. Got the lava cake and it wasn’t good or even warm. I don’t understand how there aren’t recent reviews about the quality of the food. And 15% service fee is ridiculous. Starting July 2024 it will become illegal to do so. Please go eat somewhere else!

Good food, good price but the service is bad, they charge you 15% of a tip so they don't mind serving you

Extremely disappointed! Had extremely high hopes for this place, since both the food and experience was pretty lovely when I realized they charged us for 5 people when there was only 4 people not only this but we tipped 20+ above from the already required 15%. Extremely unprofessional and disappointing service!

Can’t attest to the food but the service was horrible. We waited to be seated as it stated as soon as you come in, most tables were full but guests were already eating so we sat there for 10-15 minutes waiting to be greeted and neither of the servers came to our table. They kept going to all other tables near by but didn’t even bat an eye at us. So we ended up leaving as our business was clearly not wanted. Wouldn’t recommend to anyone else based on service alone.

Went with a group of 8. Was kinda confusing for the start. I hoped they would’ve simplified or found a better way to serve a large group. To be fair we were kinda all over the place.

The taste of the food was good for the price. The only issue is the self serve toppings bar . The issue is it's the same tongs for the items and there was what I believe to be some sort of raw chicken at the bar .. I understand you cook it so it "kills off whatever cross contamination bacteria", but my partner and I had bad food poisoning that same night . (That was all we had that day so we believe it to have been from here) . Also it was our first time and we didn't know nor did they explain to us where and how it worked . Another group of people showed up and the attention towards them being new was a lot more different .. Just seemed kind of stereotypical.. without trying to sound rude. They asked them if it was there first time and they explained everything to them, but when we asked something and got an attitude answer like we should've known how it worked it just killed the mood.. Even then after that we said it was our first time and we still didn't get additional instructions and had to ask another question...

Food quality is excellent, and the service is decent, I was there at 8 pm on a Friday night, and the place had a few customers, so service should have been a little faster. All in all I will recommend with 4 stars. I will be back for sure.

Been coming here whenever me and my girlfriend was a soup (pretty often). Honestly place never disappoints. I love their lemongrass soup and the options they provide. Service is great as well, it’s a lovely little place!

If you don't mind waiting for sushi. They are either out of the sushi or they make you wait for it. By the time Its served you're ready to leave.

I’ve eaten here about 5 times now and easily is one of my favorite places to eat in LA! They offer all you can eat shabu for affordable prices in comparison to many other places, it’s about $28 a person but the selections are good and completely satisying, and even include sushi. The veggie/buffet bar also has delicious things, plus tasty sauces to go with your food. If you ever go do not fail to get the tom yum broth and sukiyaki sauce for your meats! It is insanely delicious and flavorful. Atmosphere is quiet and relaxing too :) Thank you Shabushi for the great service and eats!

The service was excellent... However, the cooks in the back kept Staring at us and watching us for whatever reason? The sushi was TRASH and tasted sour and old/ pre-made. They also charge 15% gratuity?... if it wasn't for the server who DID provide amazing customer service, I would NOT have "okayed" the %15 gratuity fee. My son and I will NOT be returning back to this restaurant. The noodles, cod fish, eggs, and customer service from the waitress were the only highlights of this experience.
