Great hot-pot experience with solid meats and great broths. I got the pork broth because I love savory foods, and it definitely added flavor to the vegetables. Marinated meats are superb to have, and the portion sizes were average. After, there is an additional cost option of using the broth to eat rice porridge, if you have room.

My favorite shabu in Irvine. They have lunch specials. Unlimited veggies. Quality meat options. I usually try the miso broth but recently tried the pork broth. So flavorful

One of the best shabu places in Irvine, love the combination of food and broth options. I always get the sukiyaki broth! You can also get unlimited refills on rice and vegetables. I recommend going during weekday lunches to avoid the wait, which can get pretty long on weekends/nights.

One of the tastiest spot for Sukiyaki. I always have their spicy sukiyaki soup base with otoro fat belly meat. The meat is dipped with garlic, onions and sauce which makes it more tasteful. I also love their peanut and raw egg dipping sauces.

The restaurant is a bit small for party more than 4; therefore, reservation is helpful. Try to avoid peak times as this place is popular in Irvine.

I always walk away feeling really pleased with this place. The meat portion is just right for me, but if you are a true carnivore, there are bigger portion you can order. The vegetables are always so fresh and plentiful. The service is great, every time a server walks by, he/she always asks if I need more of anything. Very attentive.
