Okay I will be coming here again to get a much more detailed picture of the location so sorry if I honed in on the delicious veggies and food. But this place was def amazing to come! Limitless veggies to put in your hotpot, you get your own portion and the shrimp I ordered were def amazing! The price is reasonable for both lunch and dinner and very relaxing place to be. Our server was very attentive but overall me and my date had a phenomenal time there and we both agreed we'd be coming back soon for a round 2 hotpot! read more

9292 Shabu - Everything delicious - Korean Near Me - Annandale, Virginia

It's hot pot so service is quick and self serving ! The staff didn't really seem to know much about the cuts of meat though or share recommendations. There was slight differences in the meat like we ordered two portions of lamb and the cut of meat was different - I preferred one over the other. The pork neck was good as well! They have lots of sauce options and add ins. It's set up a little like a cafeteria, but clean ! read more

It's one of my family's favorite restaurants. Veggies are fresh and plenty. We've never tried the AYCE meats, because we're too full. I bring all of my house guests here, because the server is the best! I highly recommend it. read more

Love this shabu spot. 9292 has great quality for AYCE. I love you can pick your own veggies and noodles from the bar. They have a great selection of greens. Servers are very attentive. It is clean and it's casual enough to bring your family. They have larger tables or booths. read more

Good food, fresh vegetables. Fresh shrimps..... Service is good, waiter is polite and efficient read more

A couple of friends and I stopped by 9292 Shabu (not to be confused with 9292 KBBQ or 9292 Pocha) for some hot pot. It was a Wednesday night so it was pretty quiet- which was to our benefit! It allowed us to own the sauce bar and own the very extensive buffet bar which is full of noodles, fish balls, dumplings, vegetables, and other amazing add-ons to your meal (hot dogs anyone?) Honestly was impressed with the wide selection of food- which is a must for any hot pot experience. I was very happy with the entire experience, you'll catch me there again! read more

9292 Shabu - Korean Near Me - Annandale, Virginia

This place is ok, very small in space and selection. Sauce bar is pretty weak, the food bar itself looks clean. The meat selection is also limited, we got the prime beef and the fatty rib eye. You would think they roll out with smaller portion for the meats but this place packed it sky high. I was wanting to try their other meats but our family couldn't finish the 2 stack of meats. Not sure if it's because no one was there and they were trying to get rid of it or they were trying to make us full so we wont order anything else. I probably won't be back, there are other hot pot in the area that offers more selection for the same price. read more

Went here on a weeknight on a Thursday. It was relatively empty overall and we were perhaps the third table in the entire restaurant at prime dinner time of 7pm. However, server was pretty attentive when we were there. The only thing we had to order through the were drinks, the meat, and the broth. Everything else, you do it self-serve which is pretty convenient and makes it fast. The selection was pretty good so I had no complaints. However, one thing we did not like was the inconsistency in meat quality each time we ordered it. The same fatty beef brisket came out in different ways on 3 different occasions. All in all, it's pretty good but many better ones available in the area. read more

Great fresh meat and seafood for the hotpot. The veggies, sides, and sauces are in a buffet style, so you may go up and get as much or little as you'd like. There are 2 prices tiers clearly shown on their menu: $30 for no ribeye and crab, and $40 with. A bit higher than other hotpots, due to the rising costs for ribeye, and the outlandish costs of blue crab. Therefore I prefer the $30 option, as I'm not big on blue crabs in soups. The service is fantastic with friendly and attentive staff. And if needed, there is a button you can ring to get the attention of the server. But that's common for Korean owned hotpot, which I love. I've been there 3 times, and the only options were Dashi, spicy Dashi, bone broth, and spicy Mara. The veggie and spicy veggie broth weren't available. Tl;dr Overall, a clean and fresh selection of meat and seafood, great veggies and sauces (mostly Korean style). Slightly higher cost due to a $10 upcharge for the ribeye, but if you stick with the $30 option, the Prime Brisket will do, although noticeably tougher meat compared with ribeye. 8.5/10 would recommend. read more

Overall, my boyfriend and I enjoyed this place, but wouldn't be our top choice to come back for hot pot. Even though the quality of their meat and veggies was excellent, 40 dollars for all you can eat from a very limited menu, with limited broth choices, is pricey compared to the other hot pot places in the area. The service started off well but as the place got busy (there was one waiter for like seven tables) we hardly got to see our server due to the fact that he was busy with other customers. We ended up with the bone broth for our individual pots and it was flavorful, especially with the fresh vegetables buffet that was the highlight of this place. We tried most of their meat choices which we both agreed was great quality! The place is also very quiet; we came early during 5 PM but as dinner time came around it got quite busy; although it was not noticeably loud. Good for families and overall casual. read more

Nice sides, meats come out very fast. Good service. They play late 90's Korean music. Ambiance is great.

Can't really go wrong with Shabu Shabu and 9292 is a good place for it. Meat quality is fine and lots of veges and other foods for Shabu Shabu. read more

Greeted with a friendly smile upon arrival . our waitress was tentative and helpful. Came here on a Saturday lunch. You get to pick your hot pot broth base and pick out your meat to cook in hot pot. Amount is generous . Sides , sauce and veggies are attainable at the buffet bar. Huge variety of everything for the hot pot. For the amount we ate it was worth every dollar. I highly recommend. read more

This is a somewhat small but new and clean looking hotpot conveniently located in Annandale. For $29.99/person as the basic option, this beats the price at a lot of other local AYCE hot pot restaurants in the area. There's also a $39.99/person option but we decided against it, because we weren't interested in the few items that were additionally included at the higher tier (crab & ribeye). What's fun about this place is that you're only ordering broth, raw meat and seafood from the waiter. The remainder of the items such as veggies, appetizers (kimchi), and the more "processed" meat items (ex. fish balls, dumplings), are all located on a self serve buffet display along with the dipping sauce bar. Strangely I also saw Vietnamese rice paper in the buffet display, in case anyone wants to make their own summer rolls (I thought it was a hassle so I didn't take any). The meat here may not be of the highest quality, but they taste quite good for the price and selection. I also really enjoyed the dumplings & meatballs / fishballs here. The cons: there are a few missing items on the menu here, such as fish, which is common at a lot of other hotpot places. Dessert items here are lacking, the one dessert option we saw was grapes in the buffet area. It's nice that this place takes reservations, even if you have a party of just 4, which isn't allowed at some other hotpot restaurants. Given the price and the convenience of this place (especially with the self serve buffet items), I'd come back again to take care of my hotpot cravings! read more

Clean and convenient! All you can eat for $30 a person. The vegetables and sides were buffet style which I preferred so I can try a little bit of everything and get a whole plate of dumplings. Rice is free too, but as an expert at all you can eat, it's a cardinal sin to eat more sides than meat. Worth a try! read more

9292 Shabu - Flank, dumplings, toppings, etc. - Korean Near Me - Annandale, Virginia

Meet is tougher than a F150 truck. Prime rib (from premium menu $39.99) is beyond horrible. Worst cut ever in the dmv area. Seafood doesn't look and taste fresh. Shrooms are smelly and disgusting. A year ago, I gave it a 5 star on my main account when it first opened. Back then, Prime rib was equivalent to/or better than spots like California Shabu Shabu (non Ayce). Everything was fresh back then. This spot is definitely on my Do Not Go list. A total waste of my time eating there. read more

Great Korean style shabu shabu offering, restaurant was clean and well stocked. One of the better shabu shabu options in the area, and it is all you can eat. read more

The service and food were fantastic. The restaurant only had one single server for over 15 tables. The owner sat behind the register (that you don't even pay at) and was on his phone and watched while his sole server literally ran around the entire restaurant helping guests. We ended up paying and left a generous tip and the owner had the audacity to come out and say we tipped the server too much. The server was working completely alone without any help. I sincerely hope the server got the tip and the manager didn't pocket it. read more

Was very impressed after we were done. Prior to this, I think urban hotpot was my favorite. We enjoyed that you can get your own veggies, noodles, tofu and sauces. You don't feel obligated to waste food or get more of a particular veggie you enjoy. The only thing you can't get is the meat but they brought out huge and high quality portions. It is by far the more expensive AYCE but I think it's worth the admission. read more

Tried 9292 Shabu, not the Korean BBQ, and it was fantastic! It was my first time at a shabu style restaurant in years and the waiter was very helpful and attentive. All of the meat was freshly sliced and tasted fresh. The sauce and veggie bar was super clean as well and had a great variety. I was surprised it was fairly empty... I think most people were over at the 9292 Korean BBQ side. It was honestly so much fun; we definitely will be back! read more

A great new spot for some delicious Hot Pot. We all thought the meat was good quality and liked having a buffet bar for veggies, side dishes, noodles, and sauces. Really liked their house 9292 sauce and something I've never seen before is the black sesame sauce. Highly recommend giving them both a try. Service was also excellent! read more

Situated beside 9292 Korean BBQ, Cafe Vi and plenty of free parking. Excellent service from Mr. Kim & Jung! Everything was fresh, meat, seafood and vegetables. Their sauce bar and noodles selection were vast. If I were to critique 9292 Shabu is that they lack udon noodle and their soup selection is lacking flavor. Hope they add a few more soup option, such as Tom yum and herbal flavors. They have a large alcoholic beverages selection and many imported beers. Adult price for all you can eat (Dinner & weekend) is $39 and lunch $29 (bit pricey). Overall, we had a great meal and will definitely return soon. read more

Our first time trying a new hotpot place in the area- and we absolutely loved it! If you haven't been, definitely worth a visit and judge for yourself. Their meat is very fresh, I love their choices of broth (more Korean-style options, e.g. their bone broth is so good, reminds me of 설렁탕 국물), I love their buffet style Veggie stand so you don't have to wait for refills, and on top of everything, service was top notch. I almost don't want this place to become popular with insane weekend wait times but it def deserves some foot traffic. read more

New place in Annandale and the food is really good. But it always seems to be really crowded.

Awesome food! Pricey, but worth every penny. Not too bus, good service, it's basically build your own soup with unlimited meat and ingredients. Definitely be back! read more

It's getting hard to pick which hot pot place to go to in Annandale now, but I like this one. I love that the veggies and sides are at a bar to get yourself because I feel like I waste less that way; I'm taking exactly what I want. The broth is just okay, but there are plenty of additional elements at the sauce bar to add to the broth base to Jazz it up. I go with the dashi broth and add 9292 sauce, vinegar, and garlic. read more

Awesome shabu shabu there house sauce was great Would definitely come backs Awesome read more

It is an all-you-can-eat hot pot for $40 per person. The price is too high for the food. There are only about 6 types of meat and only 5 types of seafood. It seems like there are many types of vegetables, but in fact, there are almost none to eat. There are tomatoes, blackwood mushrooms, red potatoes, taro roots, and purple cabbages. Who the hell actually wants these when you eat hot pot? It's definitely not worth it for $40 per person. Urban hot pot has enoki mushrooms and blue crabs for dinner, and it's $35 per person for dinner. Just go to another hot pot restaurant. Not coming back here. The service was good though. read more

Went for lunch here this week. It was great! Loved that we could help ourselves to the veggies, noodles, and other ingredients. Everything was very fresh and they kept the self serve area very clean. The mala broth had a nice heat to it. Service was friendly and quick! Compared to some other places in the area, it is a little bit more expensive, but I would definitely come back again. read more

both foods and service are A+++. Definitely will come back for more. the place is nice, great quality, comfortable.

This was my first time trying Korean hot pot and definitely won't be my last. This location was SO clean and organized you could have eaten off the floor lol. I was very pleased with the selection of vegetables, noodles, sauces, and other sides. The meats and seafood were also great quality. We had a great experience I will be back read more

Good flavor and good service. This place is small and straight forward. The only hot pot place that doesn't allow a table to order separate items. One person at the table wanted seafood and the rest meat so we were told either we all had to pay an upgrade for seafood even if two people at the table didn't want seafood or we all had to pay a lower price and the one person who wanted seafood would not get seafood, so it was not enjoyable for everyone at the table. I recommend the flavor but there are many other hot pot places that provide a better pay by order system. read more

The hotpot was good but the reason for the two stars was their customer service! We enjoyed the food but the service was not great at all compared to their service at 9292kbbq. I felt like they could do better. They were not enthusiastic and did not explain things clearly although it wasnt really busy. read more
