Nice all you can eat restaurant! Meats are good!
The food here is very selected but they're fast for service. When you go in, they will have this sheets + the menu. The sheets will give 4 rounds and in round 4, you can order more to finish it off. The time limit is 90 minutes. The meat in the supreme selection were so good compares to the other meat section. Also the meatballs were hit or miss. The cuttlefish, pork, and fish balls are the best. For the broth, they tastes so good like I wanted to drink all of it. The veggies were alright but wish they have more selections. Our server was very nice and attentive to our questions/needs. Would recommend!
I have been craving Hotpot lately so I went to @taichipotshabu. They offer an all you can eat that includes unlimited American wagyu and seafood (Supreme). For my soup base, I choose Korean spicy kimchi Dashi, not too spicy but very good flavor. Highly recommend. Next time try the intense spicy mala dashi. The other soup base, Ultimate Gyokai Tonkotsu Kuro (Black Garlic oil) not too flavorful. Skipping next time. The Prime black angus beef belly so good I ordered it twice. It was flavorful and tasty. The Premium Australian lamb was very gamy. I would not recommend for first timers, still good but the taste is strong. All the veggies was fresh cut. . I can’t believe I ate 6 plates of meat!PS. The waitress, Penny, did not want to serve me because I was by myself and they only allow at least two patrons to do the all you can eat. I convinced her I was a famous Instagram influencer and I was going to review the restaurant. She went to back to call her boss for 5 minutes and came back to tell me that she convinced him to let me enjoy my meal! ?????Taichi hotpot - Homestretch Rd, Santa Clara, CA
Pretty fast service and good quality food for a hotpot place! It wasn't also that busy when we went so we'd order and get things really quickly.Good:I enjoyed all of the meats - I'm not usually a fan of lamb for example but the lamb here was really tasty! We got the Supreme option so the Wagyu was really good.I liked the veggies and the option for gyoza which was pretty different for a AYCE place.Oh and the broth was really unique! I liked the black garlic and spicy miso soup that we got.Bad:This place is pretty cold, we sat near the door and it was really drafty.Also, it's pretty pricey - we ended up paying $51 after tax and tip which felt like a lot compared to some other places in the area.
When you hear shabu shabu, you think of a Japanese cuisine which is what they deliver. Well…. Sort of. They give a very Japanese vibe with the decoration and the way we consume the food. But the biggest downside would honestly be the quality and how they operate. It’s not really all you can eat because they limit how much you can eat in a certain amount of time with a time limit. So no matter what you do, or how many sets you order at a time, they still give you a certain amount. The quality varies quite a bit. You can see from fellow reviewers that there are high quality meat, but that’s every 4 plates. The vegetables aren’t a lot either. Just saying, as a precaution, if you need a larger portion, don’t expect to be full here. Cause I certainly wasn’t.
Yes! Good food need to try!
When the three of us besties get together it's always a blast! This time we stepped out of our comforts zone and attempted something new! We picked, prepared, and cooked our soup. It was so much FUN with our super cool server, Issac! The owner of the restaurant John was so friendly and helpful too. We wanted to share our experience with all our friends.
I love this place right away when I come here for the first time. The meat quality is good.
Place is delicious. Best shabu in the area. Lamb is to die for. Soup is also good. Service is kinda slow and hectic, but it’s understandable since they are very busy with outdoor seating too.
Delicious hotpot and fresh vegetables and meat . The wait time wasn’t bad at all !! It was a little bit pricy tho
