Shinobu Japanese BBQ in Westminster

First time coming this Japanese BBQ and won’t be best the last. Great selection of high quality of beef and Pork, the side were great too. Customer services was also really good. I highly recommend this restaurant.

You get more value if you have a good appetite and choose the AYCE option.The meat quality is nice and fresh.There are way more options for sides, appetizers, and Ice-cream compared to other similar establishments.

I was very impressed. First things first. The service wowed me. I felt like we were the center of attention with the whole team focusing on us. Like little worker bees 🐝. The food was awesome, but thats only cause my girlfriend cooked it haha. My kids really enjoyed the food as well. The bacon fried rice was amazing. So we went exactly at 5pm when they opened and were the only ones there. After about an hour or so people did start making their way in. But I dont think the service dropped one bit. This team was on top of it. Great job. Place was clean and so were the dishes. I didnt use the bathroom so no comment there. I highly recommend Shinobu Japanese BBQ.

Was definitely worth the hour drive. I look forward to the next time I’m able to go. The quality of the meat was fantastic. Great place for families and groups. They have something for everyone. Would have liked my table to cleaned a little better, there was food on the edge of the table that got on my clothes as I first sat down.

Dinner and a show as one of the tables got completely engulfed in flames, but that was rad as heck! Food was great and we definitely got our moneys worth in the 90 minute time limit.

Summary: mediocre food, outstanding service, reasonable price, but will not come backWe visited this place on a Saturday evening around 5:30 PM without a reservation, and there was no wait. The host kindly directed us to scan the menu using the QR code on the table, which was quite convenient. Throughout our dining experience, we had several servers attending to our needs, providing prompt and exceptional service.While I was initially expecting a Japanese BBQ experience, this place leaned more towards a Korean BBQ vibe, even in its food selection. The banchan dishes, in particular, had a distinct Korean style. The marinated meat arrived generously coated in a flavorful sauce, as opposed to the simpler salt and pepper, tare, or miso-style marinades commonly associated with Japanese cuisine. However, there were also Japanese-inspired dishes on the menu, like the sweet soy shrimp.The standout dishes of our meal were undeniably the miso soup and the hanger steak. The miso soup was delightfully rich, with a generous amount of miso, and the hanger steak was expertly cut into bite-sized pieces, marinated to perfection, and ready for grilling. The meat turned out juicy and tender, making these two items my top recommendations from the menu.This place doesnt stand out much from the other Korean and Japanese BBQ options in the area due to its food selection. Yet, their price is reasonable for what they have to offer.

Had the dinner with a business friend, three of us.I was blown away. Had the Kobe Trio, beef belly and The Wagyu beef! It was one of the best, no question!It’s a place I’ll come back again.

The food quality here is absolutely delicious! The A5 Wagyu beef just melts in your mouth! If you havent tried it before I highly recommend you order it at least once. I love that there are multiple ice cream and sorbet options and I especially love the yuzu flavor.

Appreciated the quick and polite service as well as the quality meats available. We went with the AYCE platinum choice for $55 and did the $8 upgrade for the A5 wagyu. I would say that in tasting the menu if you are going to do AYCE it’s best to go with at least the gold since this category as well as the platinum had our favorite cuts of meat. Although this price point is a bit more than other places you are getting hugger quality meats and a bigger variety of nice appetizers/sides. For example we got a nice spinach salad, beef carpaccio, and brussel sprouts with bacon included as part of your meal. It was a bit of a trek but worth the time for a pre-valentine’s day dinner.

Japanese bbq > KbbqIt is a bit pricier, but the quality of meats is definitely worth it. There are limits on the better items even though it is AYCE.Kobe zabuton was my favorite.Honestly prefer this over Anjin since it’s a great price for decent quality meat + appetizers + sides
