Really amazing shabu place! It's my first time here and what I like is that once you order the meat, the things that come with it on the side or a set so there's no additional shopping around on the menu, which is good for someone like me who can be a bit indecisive. With whatever meet you order, you get a side of noodles and vegetables and two great sauces which are sesame based and ponzu based. We also ordered the calamari, some of the best I've had, that's topped with like grilled green onions and I think garlic. The fried fish balls were just okay, because they're literally just fried fish balls so not super special to me. I work at the lamb and it was super tender and high quality and my friends ordered the Angus, which was also quite excellent. Next time I'm in the area, definitely coming here!

I absolutely love Kiazen Shabu! The food here is consistently amazing, with fresh ingredients and rich, flavorful broths that make every bite memorable. The owner and the entire team are incredibly friendly, always making you feel welcome from the moment you walk in. I especially appreciate how the owner often offers free alcohol to customers, adding that extra touch of hospitality. I first visited when they first opened a few years ago, and at that time, it wasn’t too busy. But with the incredible food, excellent service, and inviting atmosphere, it’s no surprise that Kiazen Shabu has become so popular. Now, it's always packed, so be prepared to wait, especially on weekends and during dinner hours – but trust me, it's worth it! I highly recommend trying most of their dishes; you won’t be disappointed. Kiazen Shabu is a must-visit for anyone who loves delicious food and top-notch service!

Yes yesterday I tried this spot for the first time. Was seated quickly and our sever Jake helped choose the broth we’d like the best very helpful. I got the ribeye with Tonkotsu. The broth was so tasty way better than local places I’ve tried will be returning :).

Modern take on Shabu. Seems great for a date night. Not so good for larger groups. Outdoor seating is not the greatest with the portable heaters. Pricey, but expected with the location.

Recommended meat and broth was delicious. Thought they might recommend the most expensive but on a budget it was phenomenal. Since it was my first time they even gave me a shot for free to take with them. Atmosphere was great because of the hospitality. 5 star all around, highly recommended
