Save this for your next Date Night! Nabe is a modern Japanese hot pot spot with quality ingredients including Japanese Miyazaki A5 wagyu! The place is fairly small, but intimate. Although this is not AYCE, you leave pretty comfortably full after but not bloated. Be sure to save room after the meal, because they use the leftover broth to make porridge right at your table!

Not a huge restaurant, but we liked the vibe. Loved trying the flight. Food was good and nicely portioned, but soups were slightly bland compared to other shabu places. Went for early dinner, and the place was not packed. But it was slow to get things in the beginning.. there seemed to be just one person taking orders and serving. Things got faster as more customers came in, and more waiters were seen. Really liked the porridge thing they did at the end.

Delicious, and love when you add rice at the end to make it porridge!

Highly Recommend if You’re in San Francisco
We’re visiting from Montreal, and this was our first time in San Francisco. My boyfriend and I first had sukiyaki and shabu shabu in Osaka back in 2023, so we were excited to share that experience with our French friends — and Nabe did not disappoint us.
We ordered the sukiyaki and miso shabu shabu, both served with generous portions of rich broth, fresh vegetables, and premium meats. We also added extra pork and duck, which was plenty for the four of us. At the end of the meal, they even offer rice porridge, which was such a cozy and satisfying finish.
Our server was super friendly and welcomed us with such a warm attitude. Even though the restaurant was packed and only had two servers, service was smooth and attentive. All our food and drinks came out quickly and everything was timed perfectly.
If you’re in SF and looking for delicious Japanese hot pot, Nabe is a must-try!

A very nice shabu shabu delivery experience all the way from the Sunset. The ingredients were fresh, plentiful and of good quality. A relative good portion size compared to its price tag. A great menu selection which offers a variety of bases and meat. I’m definitely looking forward to reordering. 👍👍

Overpriced for nothing special food, portion is bit small. Vibe is great and the presentation is good tho.
The sukiyaki was spot on but please if you come here try the karaage chicken, it’s amazing ?

We went here for our one year anniversary! We ordered the Shabu Shabu and the Sukiyaki, both of which we felt were great tasting and well portioned. We saved our egg and some of our included rice for the rice porridge at the end of the meal, only to find out that they include an egg and rice specifically for the porridge! Our server, Isaac, did an amazing job at crafting a delicious porridge right in front of us, using one of the soup bases to do so (I think he should get a raise!). Overall an amazing experience and we will be recommending to others and coming back!

I’ve always loved Nabe’s food and I still think their seafood yosenabe is one of my favorite dishes in SF. I am however taken aback by their decision to a) not allow any tips other than 18,20,25 percent and b) base these tip amounts on the post tax amount. This is deceptive practice and leaves a bad taste in my mouth about the service here.

This review is for take out only.We ordered sukiyaki, added extra Kobe.Everything came cold and raw.We were unaware that this was a do it yourself meal.We fired up a pot and with hungry people.made sukiyaki.Ingredients, not quite traditional, and noodles enough for a small child, if you order without the supplement of beef, then it's good for 1 person.The egg is raw, so, look up how to stir that in for sukiyaki.So, accept this fact.Restaurant should make full disclosure.Ps. If you use Uber Eats, they might deliver down the street.Worth $50? Including tip, delivery, for 1 item. No.

They are forcing tip (no customize) starting from least 18%, does not make sense.
