Shabu-Zen can get busy, and making a reservation can be challenging. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable, helping guests prepare for their meals. The ambience is nice, though it can be a bit loud at times. Diners love the variety of different proteins and pasta available for the broth. For those who enjoy spicy food, the Chinese Sichuan spice broth and Mongolian broth are highly recommended. The seafood platter is also popular, with options to customize it according to personal preferences. Overall, Shabu-Zen is a must-try for hotpot enthusiasts.
