California Shabu Shabu in Fountain Valley

Love how bright and clean the restaurant is. Nice setup as well. Most importantly, the meat quality was good. We opted for 3 different meat plates to try out (prime rib eye, choice rib eye, and pork belly), and all the meat quality was pretty good. Funny that we thought the prime rib eye would be the best, but we actually preferred the choice rib eye and pork belly better. So tender and soft. Loved that the veggies were crispy and fresh too.Service was fast and super friendly. I especially enjoyed the spicy sauce they recommended to try, it went so well with the sesame/goma sauce. It def added a good flavor to it. (Note: just one drop is enough. Only if you can handle heat really well, I tried two drops and it was quite spicy)Also, would recommend getting a complimentary bowl of kombu soy sauce from them, it was a nice mini treat to enjoy your ramen at the end of the meal. Enjoy!

I love this place! We have been there a few times and we like it a lot. The owner is very nice and he showed me all the items on the menu and took the time to talk to us since we are from out of town. He asked us questions to see what kind of soup that would work for us and we ended up with the Sukiyaki soup and we loved it! We will be back any time we are in the area.

This place is very unique in flavor, the staff is always a delight.The whole place is Very clean and the food is fresh, the meat is cut right in there within minutes of serving you.I can’t imagine how what would make this good better. The whole market center and parking lot has just been remodeled as well.I highly recommend this place.

Come with friends or alone, the service is always great. The staff are friendly and you can customize your orders which is great. If youre ordering a portion of beef, you can always upgrade to the next size when you realize you are full but still want to stuff a bit more in.

Good service and tasty Shabu. I had the Choice Beef Ribeye. I paid extra for the spicy miso broth. Had a good and pleasant dinner here.

Excellent food and high quality. Yes it is a little pricey but well worth it. Staff is very friendly and courteous. Also extremely helpful.

We had a wonderful experience here last week! The food was amazing, the ice cream the perfect ending, and the staff made our dinner memorable in all the best ways. Shoutout to Dante/Donut for taking care of us!

Incredibly fresh and delicious ribeye made the meal fantastic!

Authentic flavors with high quality home made japanese shabu sauce and really friendly and attentive service. I enjoyed my visit and will be back.

Nothing like getting some prime shabu at cal shabu. Staff is very attentive, nothing was missing. Pork bone broth is the move.
