I love that they carry enoki mushroom here. Sukiyaki broth is pretty sweeter than most shabus, but I just add some garlic and chili oil and it's good to go. Pretty sure there is limited staffing because we can only order meats with them and it takes a while for them to rotate to our table. Robokitty is convenient to clear our table.I recommend for lean cuts - top blade & ribeye. If you like Toro from Shabuya get the brisket.

There are plenty of vegetables, sea food, and toppings you can choose from. There are four different broths available. We picked spicy and sour and sweet. I was not a fan of those two. My pork broth was ok. There are four different dippping sauces available as well. Mine was salty so i did not use much. You pick your choice of meats and refill as you go. I love having my own pot! I ended up getting two plates of veggies and seafood. I ate so much that this was the only meal I had and did not gain any weight!

Broth? Good. Highly recommend the spicy miso. Subtle, and not too spicy.Meat? Good. Ribeye & Lamb were my favorite, however the lamb can be overwhelming when dipped in a heavy sauce.Sauces? Good. Can't go wrong with any of them. Sesame for the heavy stuff. Everything else for something lighter.Buffet selection? Good. A lot of variety, not the best in the world, but enough to keep you satisfied. I personally like to stack up on vegetables.Water? Good. It's water.

We have a great time at Oishi! The food was great, with good quality meat and fresh vegetables. The costumer service was great and their staff were kind! Even the robots were fun and nice to see moving around. The price was very reasonable and good! Highly recommended!

A fun place to eat. Awesome service, specially with their robot helpers. All you can eat food is nice too.

Great variety AYCE location!! Select soup of choice, I got Tom Yum, my friend got Tonkotsu, both very tasty! Meats are ordered and brought around by a serving robot. All other sides, noodles, veggies, fried items, seafood are self serve. Seafood are fresh, big shrimps, very happy with selection! Definitely recommended.

This is a great all you can eat place which reflecting with its decent price. I enjoyed the varieties of the vegetables, sea food and hot pot ingredients at the self-service area including side dishes especially the takoyaki. The waiters were patient and spirit. The only star left was the dirty chair and sticky floor.

Robots service was a really cool touch! Personalized stove top burners at every table was fantastic to keep soups/foods hot, cooking, and delicious. Also with a great food bar selection to cook your favorite food options! Very clean and friendly classy service! Extra fee for food waste is a bit excessive, since the meal price should already cover this expense. I was still able to eat all my food, so this wasn't a problem for me. The meal price is not cheap because the food quality and cleanliness is superb! I highly recommend this phenomenal restaurant!

Found this new shabu restaurant nearby work, decided to give it a try during lunch. The parking situation is not that friendly, you have to fight for spots with the other restaurants.The restaurant has such a cute design, and luckily we didn't need to wait for a seat. Lunch AYCE costs 24 per person and you can select up to 4 plates per order. They have a very good variety of sides and veggies, the sesame ball and edmame are very tasty. I got the spicy miso broth and it is pretty tasty and I suggest to add some hot sauce to make it more flavorful. My friends mentioned the tonkatsu broth has very light flavors.The meat were delivered by a robot which is very unique! My first robot food deliver experience!!Meat quality is just ok.... I enjoyed the sides more.The service are overall great, they stopped by to take away dirty dishes and refills napkins.Their music system sounds broken, it kept making static sounds when we ate.I'll definitely go back again when I have more time to try more items there.

I love this place. I had a great experience eating late at night and having Shabu Shabu. It was my wife's first time eating this kind of food and we both had an amazing night. They are open until late and that was amazing because we arrived right before they close. The manager spoke to us and treated us really well. I highly recommend this place.
