Looking for Japanese resturant and was recommended by one of my colleague

4. Food was great and light.
Cons
1. For first timers it is little difficult to understand the process
2. Menu is not self explanatory
3. Service was bit slow though there were hardly two sets of customers
This is truly some textbook hotpot. Let's be real, I'm definitely not the most qualified for this type of cuisine, but this was heavenly. Excellent food, veggies, and meat--didn't even feel bloated after. Clean interior, spacious tables, TV's but still a date night vibe. Parking is a little limited and it's a bit expensive. Will for sure be back.
Food is okay but not worthy of the price. Highlight: it has a looot of parking space

Shabu-Zen offers a low-key atmosphere and great service, making it an enjoyable spot to visit. The restaurant features a wide range of broths, including vegetarian options as well as various meat and tofu choices. It is known for having good Tobiko balls and the quality of the meat is considered unbeatable for hot pot. While it may be a bit expensive, many find it worth it, with excellent quality and great value. The restaurant has free parking, making it convenient for visitors.
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.
