“food is great, good choices in topping buffet, everyone gets their own individual pot. only complaint is that you can only order 3 orders of meat per person at a time and meat portions are very small. i think my group averaged 20+ orders each so we had to order at least 7 times“
“I stopped here with my family the night we made it to Ontario, California for vacation, and it was such a fantastic choice!The staff were incredibly friendly, some even made some decent jokes. The inside of the building was quite nice, with very clean bathrooms. And of course, the food was delicious! A large menu with a wide variety of options for vegans and non-vegans alike was available. And the food was all totally healthy. So it was nutritious and delicious! I would recommend this for anybody staying in Ontario or visiting 10/10.“

“Shabu Wara is hands down, the BEST Japanese shabu shabu option in the Chino Hills area. We've been a couple times now and recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a high quality shabu experience! The service is amazing as well - the owner Arnold is super nice and the main guy at the counter Dayton is our new best friend. :POn Tuesdays and Sundays, Shabu Wara offers an ALL YOU CAN EAT experience, if you choose to avail. They have a standard a la carte menu too. On our most recent visit, we went for the AYCE. There were 3 options - Basic ($69pp), Deluxe ($89pp), or Premium ($109pp). Take a look at the photos of each of the menus so you can see the differences between the 3 options. The deluxe and premium have the Japanese A5 Wagyu Chuck Eye Steak, which is the appeal for those higher end options.We went with the Deluxe option this time and were not disappointed. Here's a breakdown of what we tried:- Japanese A5 Wagyu Brisket- Japanese A5 Wagyu Chuck Eye Steak- Full Blood MB9+ Australian Wagyu Brisket- Full Blood MB9+ Australian Wagyu Chuck Eye Steak- American Wagyu Karubi- Seafood platter (tiger shrimp, scallops, salmon, mussels)Of these items, of course we loved the Japanese A5 options which just melted in our mouths, but our personal favorite was the Australian Wagyu Brisket! In fact, we'd probably come back just for that one. It's not as fatty as the Japanese A5 options.There's plenty of parking where Shabu Wara is. We heard it gets super busy on weekends so maybe swing by for dinner on a weeknight. We've never had a wait and you can be right up in the bar area! Highly highly recommend!Parking: Plenty of parking lot spaces“
“I went there for brunch and had the Smoked Salmon Eggs Benedict and a Shrek Latte with matcha, brown sugar, cinnamon.I must say, the customer service and food both exceeded my expectations. I would definitely go there again to try other items on their menu.“
“We come here often for lunch and both the quality of the food and the service have been consistently decent to good. The thousand year old egg pot is my favorite. Be sure to try it if you haven’t done so already.Vegetarian options: Veggie Hit Pot, what else?Parking: Watch out for the on going construction next store over as it separated the parking lot into two. It’s fine, however, just a slightly longer walk.Wheelchair accessibility: I think it will be fine for wheelchairs.“
“Love this place! I've been coming here since I was a freshman in high school (I'm now 22)... so it's been around 7/8yrs with them. They never miss when I come here. The popcorn chicken with sweet & sour sauce is always tender and crunchy, the ramen/wonton soup is hot and flavorful, drinks crafted to perfection. My usual rotation of drinks is the Earl Grey MT w/boba, Caramel Milk Icee w/boba & egg pudding, or any of the Lychee products and of course w/boba ;p I'm a regular here every Wednesdays for sure, but with cravings or for a pick me up, it would include the weekends as well lol. The ambience and vibes are always nice and chill (even when it is busy). All of the bobaristas are kind & welcoming. Overall, this will forever be my go to place whenever I'm craving something sweet or savory.“
“Came here on a Monday afternoon and waited for 5 minutes. The Taiwanese Mala was really super spicy, the spicy beef pot was full of beef, the soup was sweet with Chinese cabbage, and the large intestine was really delicious! Very cost-effective for internal use!“
“This place was great. We got there and the staff was so welcoming and helpful. They had a table ready for us right away. I asked the young lady what was her recommendation she suggested to do the self serving station and it was the best thing ever. Thank you!“
