Shabu Shabu Kiwami Reviews
Went for lunch on a Saturday and it was a great deal (under $40!!) Had waygu meats/beef toro which all were very good and although it isn’t the highest quality meat I ever had (like A5 Waygu in Japan), I think you’re getting pretty close and it’s way cheaper. Also soda and dessert is included in the price as well! Would definitely recommend for anyone wanting to enjoy waygu shabu shabu without spending too much!
I've been to a lot of shabu restaurants and this one is definitely one of my favorites.
A relatively small but solid selection of meats with a bar for vegetables and such as well. Drinks are also included now. Meat quality for the pricing is great. They allow you to pick multiple broth flavors too.
Pricing wise very reasonable for the food and definitely worth a visit if keen.

The restaurant offers a stacked sauce bar and a self-serve veggie and topping bar, making it easy to customize the meal. The meat quality is considered excellent for the price, with many noting it as a great bang for the buck, especially with options like American Wagyu, Australian Wagyu, Pork Toro, and Australian Lamb. Free sodas and ice cream are included, adding to the value. Service is consistently praised as speedy, attentive, and knowledgeable, with staff checking in regularly to ensure diners have what they need and guiding those new to the restaurant. The split pot design allows for trying multiple soup bases, enhancing the experience. While the food is highly enjoyed, some reviews suggest that the tables and seating could be updated to improve the ambience. Overall, Shabu Shabu Kiwami offers a satisfying shabu-shabu experience with excellent food, great service, and good value, making it a favorite spot for many in the South Bay area.
