We had the worse experience last night at this restaurant, as you know I had originally given them a 5 star review, so we decided to go back but this time the experience was completely different!

California Shabu Shabu offers a variety of options, catering to dietary restrictions, especially for vegetarians and vegans. The warm and inviting atmosphere with modern Japanese décor makes it a great date spot or place for celebrations. The restaurant is known for its "really interactive" kid-friendly environment and ample parking. The Bun Dau Mam Tom dish, along with the Sushi and Sashimi Boats, is highly recommended for its freshness and taste. The A5 wagyu Beef is another standout dish. The staff provides great service, patiently explaining the ordering process, which is perfect for first-timers. Customers appreciate the solid shabu shabu quality and unique items on the Vietnamese menu, like the rice vermicelli wraps. The dining experience is unique and pleasant, and many have enjoyed capturing beautiful photos of their meals. Additionally, visitors have noted that trying the water is surprisingly worthwhile.
The restaurant offers a special dining experience with attentive staff, fresh seafood, and tasty shaved beef. The vegetables and noodles make for flavorful and colorful additions, and the appetizer dumplings are delicious. The efficient system of bringing the water up to temperature first and then pouring in the thick soup base sets this place apart from other hot pot restaurants. The overall layout, with the middle area for staff to move in and out of the kitchen, creates an interesting and engaging atmosphere. The flavorful soup, such as the pork bone broth, is the key to a great hot pot experience, and the restaurant's selection of sake, like Dassai 45, complement the meal perfectly.
