    This is probably one of the best shabu shabu places around! Dinner was around $ per person but unlike hai di lao or maybe happy sheep, the hot pots arnt in a single location, but rather your own pot in front! This makes it easier for those wanting something spicy broth to something light broth like my shoyu broth. They have different meat menus, one with wagyu and one thats the standard meats. Either way, the standard menu still had really tender meats like the ribeye cuts and tenderloin! Some more filling options too included the beef belly and pork belly. Also at the buffet side, there are some nice sides such as takoyaki, gyoza, seaweed salad and oranges and fried rice. There are also vegetables and seafood to get as well! Service was friendly and easy to order extra meats and cleaning up the plates was done easily too by either robot waiter or custodians! Orders were delivered by robot waiters or handed to us by a waiter! They make good use by not programming a robot waiter to go to multiple tables at a time! The only disappointment was they did run out of some stuff such as smoothies and soju which almost consisted of the cocktail menu on the back... At least pepsi is $ with unlimited refills? Overall it's nice to come back here if i was feeling spendy or treating out for an occasion here again! They seem to always have tables so capacity i hope isn't an issue!

    I visited this hot pot restaurant in Irvine with a couple of friends over the weekend for lunch. Located in DuPont Plaza, there’s plenty of parking available, including a free basement lot.This restaurant offers an all-you-can-eat hot pot experience. The weekday lunch is $, while dinner is $. On weekends, the price is $ all day. They have a good variety of soup bases, and we particularly enjoyed the spicy tonkotsu broth.The selection of proteins was impressive, especially the prime cuts of meat, which stood out as the highlight for us. However, we found the lamb and ribeye cuts to have a bit too much fat, which wasn’t to our preference. The meats are delivered to your table by a robot server, and the service was fast and friendly. They also offer an unlimited buffet and sauce station, featuring a variety of hot foods, salads, and seafood. One downside was the strong seafood smell upon entering the restaurant, which was somewhat off-putting.Overall, if you’re looking for a hot pot experience with a wide selection of options, this place is worth considering.

    This spot is great. They have menu options, with having waygu meats on it, so ofc its more expensive. We opted for the cheaper one & it was still great. They offer a self-serve salad/seafood bar, which is also where you can get your sauces.Parking is abundant if you use the underground parking structure. Would definitely come back & definitely recommend the spicy Tonkotsu broth .This places Shabu Shabu definitely had the toes curling as I viciously monched. Def a place to bring your wife, gf, or shii bring em both

    My family and I had gone to this location after being invited by a family friend. When we had arrived, the owner had opened both double doors, giving us the assumption that they were in fact open for business. My mother had gone in asking to use the bathroom before we took our seats, just for the owner to begin pushing her out, stating, “You can’t come in here; we aren’t fully open yet, and the insurance will not cover us if you choose to fall in here!” Excuse me?? Why fully open both doors to your establishment just to reprimand potential customers for your mistakes? And second of all, that kind of behavior is not acceptable. This place should be shut down!
