Misled on pricing, I asked our waiter about seafood soup. (Told him I couldn't read menu due to recent catarac surgery) he said , "Yes, it's included" , okay, Great. When the bill came it was an additional $40$! (For the seafood)! While eating I did notice our waiter was taking shots with a "birthday /night out "for a group of gals he was waiting on. I saw 7 shots go down on his part. So , I am guessing he was pretty buzzed up when he (partially/ wrongly) explained pricing to me. I guess I should have bailed when I saw the 3rd shot going down his throat. Still liked the food, just not that I went after reading about how affordable it is to eat great soup there. $89 for 2 people without any sides is just too much. 🤑😬

The food is FANTASTIC. If you enjoy spicy food, get the Sichuan broth, but beware that even the Medium Sichuan broth is SPICY AF, so if you don’t have the stomach for it, get either the mild one or another broth. The angus beef was perfect, and the udon noodles had great texture too. HIGHLY recommend the Cilantro Ponzu sauce - it adds a fantastic depth of flavor.

10/10 experience! I believe it has to do a lot with my server Eric! He was extremely accommodating and made our experience so welcoming, comfortable, and enjoyable! He recommended us the best meats and broth. We got kobe and toro which you can taste the quality in the cuts of meat! He also recommended spicy tonkatsu and spicy miso which were phenomenal! Service was great and my water was always filled! Thank you shabu time for the best hot pot experience and I will be back, especially for my server Eric!

Great food, great customer service and great environment. Will always come here for great shabu
Always a phenomenal time here. Constant quality of food and service. The only knock is it's a little smaller and not easy to accommodate larger parties. But the staff here is always amazing and as accommodating as much as possible. My favorite Shabu restaurant in the South Bay.
Got food here the other night and it was delicious. I got the vegetarian options, and my friend got the seafood option, and we both really liked our dishes. As someone who has only had shabu shabu only a couple times before, this is another layer of fun for going out to a restaurant getting to cook your food on your table, on top of good food and excellent service.
Vegetarian options: Clearly marked vegetarian options on menu.
