I've been here several times now - I keep coming back for the Veggie Shabu Shabu. Maybe not the best value given that you're paying $15 for a plate of veggies, but it is a HUGE plate and they give A TON of veggies.

It's too bad this Shabuway location closed down because the service at the San Jose location is absolutely horrendous. I would stop by here for Japanese shabu cravings since it was near my home, and the shabu is pretty good. I guess there is too much hot pot competition on Castro now.
