Absolutely love this place. Friendly staff, great meat and sauces, and amazing ambience.I live nearby so I eat here almost every week. 1 plate is enough to keep me content, but the AYCE option is available for those that want more.
Came here after work with some coworkers and we had a craving for shabu shabu. We ordered a few plates of beef and pork for the shabu shabu plus the vegetables. I wanted to give more stars, but service was a bit lacking. They forgot our orders a few times and we didn't get certain items like desserts for all 3 of us, which comes with the meat and vegetables despite ordering extra plates later. Just felt very much like they were cheapening out on us as much as possible. Overall, it was alright, though I'm not super inclined to visit again
Such a great place, it’s our favorite place to go for any occasion, or just to enjoy the food!

Food is pretty good. Just make sure you don't ask any dumb questions. You will get laughed exaggeratedly. Wish I was joking.
Had a huge craving for shabu shabu so I decided to hit up Kushi Shabu Restaurant in Little Tokyo DTLA. I’ve been before but it has been a really long time. There wasn’t much of a wait since I showed up exactly at 6pm, when they open. If you’re looking to indulge in shabu shabu gluttony, then Kushi is the place for you. They’re have all you can eat Shabu Shabu starting at $36.99. Since it’s been a while since I’ve had shabu shabu, I opted for the all you can eat. Their beef is ok. I actually enjoyed their pork more which is weird because I always go for the beef. Why the 3 stars? Well the service was a bit lacking when I went. I’d give them 4 stars for their all you can eat options but I was really disappointed with how I was served. I was seated right away, which was cool and I got my order of meat rather quickly but that was pretty much it. I didn’t get the condiments and seasoning that you would normally get at a shabu shabu restaurant like the green onions, goma, garlic etc. I had to repeated ask for it. The rice and vegetables didn’t come right away. I was halfway done with the serving of beef before I followed up about the rice and vegetables. The rice finally came but I had to ask again for the vegetables. I love meat and all but after a while you want some vegetables. So that was disappointing. Their ponzu and goma wasn’t the best but it got the job done. Would I go back, maybe.
I came to Kushi Shabu Restaurant for a friend's graduation celebration and I'm so glad I did! This place not only has a great atmosphere, but great food and delicious cocktails!
The hand-rolls were absolutely delicious and the price was quite reasonable. I've only been once, but I am a big fan.
Such horrible service. It took 30 min to get a menu. We never got anything to drink and multiple groups were serviced before us. We had to wave the waitress down two or three times before she gave us a menu. Would not come back.
I knew we made the right decision as soon as we were walking towards the restaurant from the parking lot. The savory aroma from the kitchen hits you immediately. I was already sold once I heard hip hop playing from the speakers. The women who were working that day were super attentive and friendly. I appreciated their suggestions a for food and beer.
