Just went for the first time at Shabu Works!! Absolutely loved it… can’t wait to go back 😋
Miramar san diego location is awful!!! Wont sit you at a table that fits you! 5 people - 4 broths. Watched a table of 8 share 2 burners!!!! People had to share broths!!! Never seen anything like it! Irvine location is way way better!!!
Ive been here multiple times and Ive always loved it. Great food, atmosphere always lively. Service needs to be a bit faster tho. But regardless still love the ayce and selection has a great variety for both meat lovers and vegetarian options.
