Some of the tastiest shabu shabu beef I’ve ever had! They slice it fresh for you after you order and serve it with a plate of napa cabbage and other veggies.

My favorite hot pot place of all time. Highest quality meat for the price, love the Tonkotsu broth, and love ponzu sauce. The American Kobe beef is a must get! Definitely an underrated place!

Not good for the price and if you don’t leave a tip they will run after you out the door 🤣 it was the most bizarre experience ever.

I really wanted to like this place, but just not a great experience. The guy behind the counter kept on taking my plate away before I was done, and they don’t even give you a plate or bowl unless you ask. AYCE is pricy, and the meat is average quality. Was here on a rainy day and almost slipped on the wet floor because the staff didn’t think to mop the wet floor. I like supporting small local restaurants, but I don’t know if I will be back.

My favorite shabu spot in all of the bay area. They are the OG's. I hate their weird hours tho.

The American wagyu cut of meat was great and the fact that it's included in the ayce was a great deal. $48 pretip for 1 person, I paid 60 because the guy waiting the bar and on the deli slicer was so nice. Goma and ponzu dipping sauces were great too.
