Shabuya in Alhambra

One of the good deal spot for hot pot. 💯Eat all you can: SEA FOOD - EGG ROLL- NOODLES- Soup base of your choice.Just need to keep the cleanliness of the whole restaurant including bathroom.“There’s always room for improvement” ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The broth and food is always clean and consistent. Very fresh love it! We have been coming here for a long time, but my recent visit (9/5/23) we noticed that the slices if meat got very thin. Its not a bad thing, for shabu should be eaten with thin slices.As for the service, the lady at the front (long blond hair) never really smiles. Yesterday we got there around 11:57 and the door was opened. There was a group already waiting inside. The hostess comes rushing in at 11:58 and informs us that its not 12:00 yet and that we need to step outside. We all sort of stared at her, and she said we have 2 more mins, please wait outside. REALLY?!?!?!? But shes the hostess, should always be smiling. Never seen such.Im dont know the servers name, but shes the young Asian lady that always wears her hair in a bun.. shes thr BEST!!! Thank you for your great service!!! Always attentive, never have to haul her down because shes ALWAYS on top of it!!The rest of the servers, Ive seen fool around, chit chat with other workers, and Ive even seen the meat cutters on their phones! Youre touching meat and on your phone, and then BACK to cutting meat?!Ps. When its hot, the AC doesnt really work and they have the fans on. Be ready to SWEAT!Pps. Please clean the restrooms. VERY dirty, especially the handicap ladies room..

Cool place with over all good service. My only gripe with them is they look for any excuse to cancel the weekday lunch special by claiming its a holiday. This has happened to me 3 times and the final time I went to an alternate place that didnt pull this card. Like I said its a cool place with good service and youll probably like it but if you have any intentions of going for the weekday lunch special which is a difference of $7, give them a call first. Who knows what holiday they will claiming that day like, Star Wars or 420 day. So, give them a call first otherwise if you dont mind paying the dinner rate, go for it, its a cool place minus 2 stars for the non official holiday thing of coarse.

Looking for a new shabu spot in my area. Tried the premium AYCE lunch ($32.99) with a coke ($3)These were the meats I tried:1. Chuck Tender - was kind of chewy, skip2. Ribeye - tender, decent marbling, ordered a 2nd roundWaitress suggested the 6. Top Blade which is very popular but I didn’t have the room and didn’t want to waste!Solid selection of veggies, appetizers, sauces. Friendly attentive service, and tons of space in the restaurant so it didn’t feel crowded. Their goma sauce was good - essential to a great shabu experience.Will definitely come back with friends so I can try ALL the meats.

All you can eat shabu shabu place. Soup stock is always important at these types of restaurants. Im going to compare Shabuya with HaiDiLao. HaiDiLao is a la carte so its going to be more expensive (and depending on the number of wagyu beef dishes you get, a whole lot more expensive) at the end of the meal than AYCE at Shabuya. The choices for the thinly sliced meats (beef, pork, chicken, lamb) are sufficient, with 6 plates to start and brought to your table and you can keep asking for more as you finish them. There is the central buffet location where various seafood, meatballs, vegetables, sauces and condiments are. There is a definite lack of fruits and desserts vs regular buffets such as Kami and Shiki. $33 dinner here vs $36 at Shiki. I would go Shiki for the much larger variety of food. However, the younger crowd will prefer Shabuya as it is set up as a modern cafe with neon lights and non-stop attractive K-pop videos on many screens.

We went for lunch and had a big party. Once our party arrived we got seated right away. Everything tasted pretty great. I really liked the drink specials they have. A lot of buy 2 get one or buy one get one for a dollar. Good place to eat and drink. Only negative thing is the bathroom is filthy. The changing station is HORRIBLE. You are better off changing your kids in the car

This is a new one that I visited. WOW - its literally all you can eat in there. Just be wary of their busy time that you might have to wait in the heat. They offer meat and seafood options at a one-priced. If you are a lover lover and you can eat, this place is definitely for you.

A favorite hot pot restaurant of mine, Shabuya offers a very good variety in all categories. From prime cuts to seafood, and all the accompaniments Shabuya is popular among seasoned and new fans.The Alhambra location is well organized and oftentimes less crowded than their K-Town location with the exception of Friday and Saturday evenings. The service also is a bit more attentive from the many recent times I have visited for this review.

My family and I love this place for lunch or dinner. 🫶🏼😊The staff is always great very friendlyWe decided to have dinner last night for my brothers birthday I gotta say they loved it. was my brother’s family’s first time in their It amazing experience. Thank you so much staff’s For having patience with us, and it was a party of 10. definitely going back to making more memories and wonderful experience.🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼

This is a fantastic place for AYCE Shabu Shabu! You choose your soup broth and meats from the servers then add the fixings, noodles, seafood, veggies, sides and sauces from their huge buffet table. All the servers were polite and theres a 90 minute limit per table. Reservations are recommended during peak times.
