Okay, here's the deal. If you are are hard-core into that Asian experience, this place has some of that to offer. Rotating plates and raw buffet concept are neat.If you are the average Tennessean, it's not for you. All the reviews that talk about the heat and choking smoke are spot on. The vents are apparently only for show. My daughter and I both had to go outside. Also, it's high priced. Unfortunately, the food is not. The meats were overly fatty, not premium. No real crab legs, no real lobster. Some decent shrimp is the best you'll get. Sushi is low end.The cooking and plate situation is odd. If you don't want eat off the same plate you had your raw chicken on (which is normal here), you need an extra plate. Not a lot of room on these tables. Our server was great. The kind staff is very fast at clearing. Still. Pretty cluttered.Basically be prepared to pay 200 bucks for a hot, smoky, environment, and the food quality of your local Chinese spot (except you're cooking it). I won't be back, but I see why some people would be into it.
Fabulous and beautiful restaurant. Staff are friendly and food is amazing. Totally recommend ordering the Hot Pot and Grill!!
You will enjoy this place if you love your meat and seafood.The food is definitely not the freshest but it is an amazing experience for hot pots and grill.We got the spicy broth as well as the miso broth and used all the meat and seafood options available.They also have a few sushi options along with some side salad like kimchi and dessert.They have a robot which goes to your table to wish you if you have a special request or a special occasion which is pretty cool.It was a little bit expensive for me but I enjoyed the experience and will definitely visit again on an empty stomach.
I had the all-you-can-eat shabu shabu and grill experience and I left very satisfied with the authenticity and quality of this restaurant! Whether you're craving Japanese, Chinese, Korean, or Singaporean food, you can craft your broth and sauces to your preference with a wide assortment of ingredients.I got the Tom Yum broth which I highly recommend if you plan on eating a lot of seafood. The sour and spicy soup helps neutralize any fishiness.I also tried the tonkatsu broth which went very well with meat. It was mild, savory, and simmered with goji berries.Overview of shabu shabu selection ?? Fish balls: I'm quite impressed with the assortment of fish balls (crab sticks, prawn balls, squid balls, Fuzhou fish balls) -- there were 8+ types of fish balls from different Asian countries. Seafood: There were crawfish, fish fillet, shrimp, mussels, clams, octopus, squid, etc.? Grill/BBQ: Beef bulgogi, chicken slices, pork belly, etc. were plentiful if you want a KBBQ experience! Meat was pretty high quality and very juicy.? Hot pot meat: There was beef, chicken, pork, and lamb, all very thinly sliced to cook quickly in broth. Vegetables: Bowls of taro, seaweed/kelp knots, spinach, bok choy, broccoli, cauliflower, corn, napa cabbage, mushrooms, woodyear fungus, etc. made its way around the tables on conveyor belts.? Starches: Ramen, udon noodles, shirataki noodles, rice noodles, and rice cakes come on conveyor belts. There were also tofu, yuba wrappers, and fried soy sticks which helps soak up the broth. Sauces: At least 16 different sauces available -- sacha sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, garlic, sesame paste, Chinese vinegar, sesame oil, Korean soybean paste, wasabi, ponzu, and more.?: Sushi was alright. Not the best but I didn't come here to eat sushi.
All you can eat Adult buffet is $32 for both hot pot and grill. This is a reasonable price considering what you are getting. Come hungry and stay late. It’s getting really busy so make sure you have time to wait. It’s really cramp inside the restaurant. Stay safe my friend. I am not disappointed at all. The only think I wish for is better ventilation because it was so much smoke.
My family and I ate dinner here last night and let me tell you, it was really good! We chose the grill and hot pot. The selection was plentiful and drinks were delicious. I ordered the cloudy sake and it was smooth and delightful! Kids don't eat much so I think it's more of a dinner date or ladies & gents kinda restaurant.? The staff were friendly and informative, which is a plus! Overall, great place to dine.
I consider myself a Shabu a holic. I go to them all over the USA as a benefit of work. This one is right up there as one of my favorites. Prices are good and the selection is YUGE. Love it! Friendly staff and to be able to grill and hotpot at the same setting is truly a first that I’ve run into. One of my new local favorites!
Shabu Shabu is such a fun, unique, and tasty experience. It’s part Melting Pot, part sushi train, and part Ramen shop. It was sensory overload with all the sights, sounds, and smells.A hot pot of broth (several flavors are available) is placed before you and kept at a consistent hot temperature to which you can add all sorts of meats, veggies, and noodles. All the refrigerated ingredients are kept at a buffet-style counter where you can also grab fresh fruit, sweets, pre-made sushi, and make your own sauces. All carbs and veggies can be grabbed off of a conveyer belt that runs all through the restaurant.On this occasion, we had the miso and tonkatsu broth. The tonkatsu broth was a bit bland but the miso broth was great. Additionally, we enjoyed Shabu Shabu (thin slices of meat grilled at your table). Well worth the extra few bucks.It was a great experience. We will definitely be back.
We enjoy this place! The food and service are both excellent! Although, because you do the cooking yourself, it's possible your neighbors in the cozy seating might let their grill burn dry, causing excessive smoke in your booth. This isn't the restaurant's fault at all, but worth an FYI mention for those busy nights. We'll be back regardless!
Just a great, fun concept. Food was all fresh and tasty. For those that have never been make sure you ask plenty of questions. And if you're doing the grill also make sure you get a good marinade. You will have to mix one up yourself so be prepared.
