I love the Shubu shabu restaurant! I highly recommend the Japanese A5 Wagyu beef and the US Kobe signature cut.
Great experience . After. Watching numerous Asia movies we had to try this. EXCELLENT.
One of the best (remaining) shabu places in South Bay. We love coming here for the intimate atmosphere, great service, fresh veggies and meats. Overall this is a good place to do shabu-style meal. A little pricey, then again shabu is almost always pricey. The more bargain shabu-style joints around here went under during Covid. Warning, as there can be a long wait to get seated here during busy times.
In short - the food's great and thankfully this is one of the few Shabu places in the South Bay that was able to stay afloat during the pandemic; however, the service has been lackluster for our last several visits, particularly this evening. The quick & dirty is that we were waiting for our server to return after their first & only stop at our table: first most of us ran out of rice, then peanut sauce, then waters, then beers, and finally one of our group had dropped a chopstick on the floor and needed a replacement pair - no amount of signaling could flag any server. Finally, one of us had to go up to the bar/server area and wave down a server before we could get any additional service. Go to this place for decent Shabu, but keep your expectations low when it comes to the service.
The Japanese a5 is amazing. Highly recommended.
Good and friendly service. Very clean too.
Good food, very crowded, no reservations
Had an amazing dining experience at ishabu shabu. Ordered premium Japanese A5 wagyu beef and a number of premium cuts. I’d go back in a heartbeat when in the area.
I’m glad to see this place is still here and survived the pandemic. The food is good and they are taking precautions with the staff wearing masks and plastic dividers to separate parties.
I'd say you're paying more for the experience than the food. Parking is limited, it's border line over priced . The meat didn't seem to be of the greatest quality, but the service was great.. but I do have to say I'm a bit biased because I'm more of ramen or pho guy.
