In Korean shabu-shabu, people eat together from the same pot.In the United States, it was fun to eat shabu-shabu from each person’s own pot.Meat and seafood were served, and vegetables and other ingredients were brought out and eaten in a buffet style.It was nice that you could choose the shabu-shabu soup base according to your taste.All ingredients were fresh and delicious.I had a great time and had a delicious meal :)

There is quite a variety on the menu and the vegetable bar. The taste was very good as was the service. There are fixed-price options as well as AYCE.

It’s a nice and clean place but the food is what’s lacking for me. I think the broths lack flavor and I would love more marinated meat options too. My favorite hot pot place is HotSpot and comparing to that one, this restaurant lacks in the food

Absolutely loved dinner here tonight. Our server Brandon was fantastic and prompt with everything :)The whole place is beautifully clean. I love that you can get your own hot pot and don't have to share with your party if you don't want to! The buffet options were sweet and everything was super fresh and tasty.Will absolutely be back - I've found my go to!

A couple of friends and I stopped by 9292 Shabu (not to be confused with 9292 KBBQ or 9292 Pocha) for some hot pot. It was a Wednesday night so it was pretty quiet- which was to our benefit! It allowed us to own the sauce bar and own the very extensive buffet bar which is full of noodles, fish balls, dumplings, vegetables, and other amazing add-ons to your meal (hot dogs anyone?) Honestly was impressed with the wide selection of food- which is a must for any hot pot experience. I was very happy with the entire experience, you'll catch me there again!

both foods and service are A+++. Definitely will come back for more. the place is nice, great quality, comfortable.

I would highly recommend getting the single meat option rather than the all you can eat, unless you are with a large party. There was plenty of other options (including pescatarian and vegan/vegetarian) at the bar for me to cook in my broth.The atmosphere can feel a little cold and cramped since the restaurant is covered in gray and metal tones with the color coming from the bar and the TVs playing KPOP videos. It can also be quite hard to hear others.Vegetarian options: Non-meat broths, tofu, mushrooms, veggies, etc.

My friend invited for dinner last Friday. It was so cozy and fresh meat that we enjoyed very much. I also want to try some other meal and ordered Korean Fried Chicken. The unique spice is just like Korean Style Chicken.

Tldr- this place is phenomenal. Clean- great service- good quality for protein and veggiesI am a hot pot fiend. I have literally tried and eaten at every single hot pot place in the DMV. So when it comes to ayce hot pot trust what I have to say.This place is probably the best. It's clean. the staff are responsible. The veggies are ample as are the protein selections.My wife and I go here at least once a month and we have taken our friends here too. They liked it as well.Two things I wished this place had are crown daisy/chrysanthemum and shacha. Crown daisy is a classic for hot pot that I've always loved and shacha is ?Also for the mala it has a more pronounced spicy broad bean flavor than Sichuan peppercorns. Spicy broad bean is the the stuff used for mapo tofuVegetarian options: Vegetarian options for protein include tofu, but not the fried variety. Medium firm tofu.Dietary restrictions: A friend of ours has a ton of food allergies and he was able to eat here

This was my first time trying Korean hot pot and definitely won't be my last. This location was SO clean and organized you could have eaten off the floor lol. I was very pleased with the selection of vegetables, noodles, sauces, and other sides. The meats and seafood were also great quality. We had a great experience I will be back

Hot pot was delicious and it’s a great place to go for lunch or dinner. Definitely the best Shabu in Annandale ?
