This was my first time going to an AYCE Shabu Shabu restaurant and I must say, it was a good experience! They take good COVID precautions, they take your temperature upon entering the restaurant and then seat you in booths away from other customers. The only thing that bothered me was when our server gave us dirty plates. She was wearing gloves that had sauce on them and it stained our plates. It was highly unprofessional and I'm not sure if she realized if it was dirty or not but she just walked away. Hopefully, servers can be more attentive next time. Thankfully, the food was amazing!! For the broth, I ordered the Spicy Vegetable but it didn't really have much taste. I think the flavors come mainly from the sauces so you can't go wrong with any broth. They have an unlimited self-serve buffet of traditional shabu items such as noodles, vegetables, fishcakes, mushrooms, etc. There's also a section in the buffet where you can get side dishes, such as marinara spaghetti, cream pasta, japchae, fried rice, etc. Moreover, there are 2 sauce stations, and you can customize your sauce however you like! If you want to order meat or seafood, that's an extra change and the servers bring it to your tables instead of getting it at the buffet. I got Brisket, but honestly, even without the meat, I think the buffet items were good enough! You get full pretty fast. Everything was affordable and a good buck for the quality of food we got. read more

The food was absolutely fantastic, and as a first timer they explained extremely well. So many different options and different foods to try. Definitely worth a visit, especially for your birthday! read more

amazing food and customer service! the meat is great quality and the manager is amazing also. We love coming here!!

I been looking for an alternative to 89 Hot Pot and a nice hot pot buffet. And this is the place. I hate having to bother the waiter every few minutes for more food. This place is actually very big and buffet style food area where you grab your own veggies, shrimp, balls, imitation crab meat, noodles, and some hot Korean sides as rice cake, fried rice, noodles, and spaghetti. This is the first place that I been to where you can get your own hot pot food and cook it yourself. The normal places, are brought out to you like 89 Hot Pot. I love the sauce bar as well. The enoki mushroom is awesome. I really love this place and your into vegetables, this is the place for you. They also have some kinda low grade sausage hot dogs. I love the small cut corn as I got so much. The lunch is like $9.99 and dinner is $12.99. If you want stuff like beef brisket, you have to pay $29.99 and $34.99 with shrimp. I do wish they included the meats and seafood for a tad bit lower. I didn't get this option as the buffet bar already had more than enough foods for me to cook and eat. I highly recommend this place if your a hot pot nut. The waiter service is decent but they normally are super busy and you have to speak up. I was told that this place has only opened for 1 month and they are still working out the kinks. This is also the first non-Taiwanese/Chinese hot pot restaurant that I been to as well. Hopefully, these buffet style hot pot places will start to pop up more as I believe these places should do very well. read more

Under the new management it was really clean and tasty. Every side dish was also very tasty. Definitely going to come back soon. They have a promotion right now as well. read more

I've had a lot of AYCE hot pot in my life, but I was extremely impressed with the selection of non meat items that they had. They had a lot of carbs like noodles, vegetables, seafood balls, and Korean side dishes. There was a mix of uncooked and cooked foods so it's a total complete meal. They also had an extremely large sauce bar to get your own sauces from. The one thing I wasn't as impressed was their meat selection was pretty small and they didn't have much on the fatty side (most of their meats are lean). But I focused more on their seafood like mussels, clams, shrimp and octopus which was actually pretty fresh! Soup wasn't anything to note but that's what the sauces are for. read more

They are reopening their buffet starting October 2, 2020. Masks and 6 feet social distancing will be required at the buffet lines. $24.99 for the buffet, it used to be $29.99. They checked my temperature when I entered and they have hand sanitizers all over the restaurant. The staff are attentive and helpful. read more

9292 Shabu - Broth choice - Korean Near Me - Duluth, Georgia

This place is really good! Went in and got the unlimited option for $40 per person. . You get separate small pots filled with broth, the broths are okay, they're not the most flavorful. . The cuts of meat are spectacular, very good looking cuts. And they come quick, so when you order the meats, they'll be at your table a minute later. Great service! . The sides they have are awesome, tons of sides and it's a self serve side bar, so you can get as much or as little as you want. . The sauce bar is good, they have a different variety of things to mix and make your own sauce. SOLID 4/5!!! I wish the broth was tastier, pretty plain. read more

This is definitely one of my top spots for hot pot. Within the same company as 9292 KKBQ and 9292 Gopchang. Upon entering, they check everyone's temp, seating between parties are spaced out, the buffet line is closed. There are bottles of hand sanitizer placed throughout the restaurant. View my picture for the limited dine-in options for COVID. Our party ordered the 9292 Shabu Prime Beef. They will make the sauce for you. Choices are either mild or spicy. Generous portions for your vegetable platter. Unlimited vegetables upon request. read more

Unfortunately, I can never come back to 9292 Shabu again. I really wanted to like them and gave them another chance since people have raved about how good they are but no. Just no! Don't advertise all those broths if you're not going to have it. So apparently prices have gone up according to what I read on Yelp. AYCE is $30++ My friend and I went on a Sunday afternoon around 4 pm and they only had two broths available - veggie or seafood. I rather have spicy veggie and my friend only gets chicken or beef. I took veggie and my friend took seafood. It's yuck. The sauces aren't even good. No amount of sauce was able to make our broth taste good. I wish there were mung bean noodles on the "buffet" though. There was a lot of items to choose from on the "buffet" I did like there were hot, cooked food for you to eat like fried rice (I liked), japchae (too sweet), tteokbokki (my friend liked, I didn't try), spaghetti (my friend liked, I didn't try). I like the variety of veggies on the buffet. Good to see the different varieties of mushrooms too, only wish there were enoki mushrooms though. There were also hot dog and fish cakes too. I didn't eat any of that since I have plant based lifestyle. My friend ordered the pork so it's $3.99 extra on top of the $13.99 soup base. No more. I cannot. Service is decent. There is a button for you to push to get attention and service. I got a huge headache after eating too. When I got home, I had to sleep it off for several hours then take a hot shower. Then it finally went away never had that happened to me before. 80/2020 read more

What more can you ask for, but all you can eat meat (which, of what we tried, we all high quality), noodles (ramen, udon, and hand cut noodles), more carbs (rice cake and dumplings), plenty of fresh veggies, and a variety of sauces you can use to make your own custom dipping sauce (or two). This is the first buffet I've been to since the world changes and I only realized it when they told us to put gloves on before putting food on our plates. Felt safe. They do have pasta on the side, which is probably mostly for kids, but I tried the spaghetti and the cream pasta and regretted wasting my belly space when there was so much better food (it wasn't that bad). We had the two types of beef, shrimp, clam, and lamb. Very tasty. The only thing was I had a 5 year old but I had to pay the full $17.99 for dinner for ages 4 through 10. Adults were $27.99 at the time of this writing. I don't think it's fair to lump in a 4 year old with a 10 year old. If I brought a 10 year old son with me, we'd do some damage. My 5 year old ate like 6 chunks of ramen noodles. But alas, I'd still come back given the ultimatum. :D read more

Been eyeing to go here ever since I heard about this place and the hype about it. I haven't been to a buffet in a while and today I over splurged. 9292 Shabu is hidden on the right side of Kroger on Satellite Blvd. This place is gigantic, with bright lights, modern decor, and wide open space, it looked fancy for a shabu joint. Once you get seated, they ask you what broth you want and we went with the most popular, dashi, based off of korean anchovies. While the broth has a clean taste, not overly salty or bland to feel bloated afterwards, I did feel that the broth was 2% inadequate from being perfect, as the korean saying. Will probably try another broth, such as the veggie broth or the beef bone broth next time. Otherwise, everything was great. For $11.99(M-F lunch), you can access stations and stations of toppings of different shrooms, fish cakes, noodles, roots, and veggies; As well as some hot dishes including fried rice, ttukboki, japchae, and both marinara and alfredo pasta; And most importantly the sauce station. Side note, I didn't have enough patience to look at the instructions on making the perfect sauce at the station, so I winged it and it wasn't perfect. Sauce definitely makes a difference so may want to take your time. On top of the lunch special, we did order 2 plates of meat as a side, brisket and ribeye. Brisket was just whatever, but ribeye was super super good that I would recommend for those that are carnivores. Overall, with the dashi sauce, I felt like I was eating a deconstructed mille-feuille nabe and some of the sides that went well with the shabu broth here was the hotdog, corn, rice noodles, cabbage, fish cakes, and mandu. Pretty fun and interactive meal for family and group gatherings. read more

Coming here thru covid season- they will nicely check your temperature at the door once you enter. And when you sit down the waiter will let you know that you need to put on gloves before you grab your food. And to be sure to wear your mask while you are out of your seats. Like every Korean place, they have set out a jar of cold water for you already so you won't need to ask for refills on water as often. Aside from ordering your meat and broth, there isn't much contact with the server. I came here on a Tuesday afternoon and there seems to be quite a lot of people more than a typical place on Tuesday. I think this place has a great value deal with the 11 dollar lunch. All you have to do is pay extra for some prime beef and it goes to 15 dollars a person for ayce sides from japchae (which are real good), spaghetti, cream sauce noodles, ttoekbokki, etc. And ayce vegetables, raw noodles and additional items for your hotpot like crabsticks to fish ball. Their sauce station has plenty to offer too. I love everything about this place for its value. The only thing lacking for me is the flavor of the actual broth. I find that the broths are rather plain and doesn't have that deep flavor compared to other hotpot places I've tried. But if your willing to sacrifice the broth flavor for the amount of ingredients and the value for your buck, I would highly recommend this place. read more

So bad. So not worth my 50 freaking dollars. I thought that because the price was so steep that I would at least get mediocre food. Not the case at all. Show up and you can find yourself eating ingredients boiled in plain water. No flavor. Staff is also not very helpful and their rules are so weird. I ended up painfully swallowing boiled meat just to feel like I got my moneys worth, which to reiterate, I did not. Don't come. Or do, you'll regret it. read more

This was my first time eating hot pot at a restaurant so I'm honestly not sure what to expect. I've had it a lot at home and never liked it, so I definitely didn't consider myself a hot pot fan, but it was different eating at a restaurant. We went during lunch so there was hardly anyone there and we didn't have to worry too much about getting too close to other people. They give each person their own individual hot pot where you can have your own flavored broth and control the heat the broth is at. I chose the dashi broth, although it didn't have much flavor at all until you start adding stuff to it. What I really liked was their huge variety of ingredients, from veggies to fish cakes to cooked Korean dishes. We did not do the all you can eat with meat included, so we just ordered meat on the side. The thinly sliced shabu meat is sooo good, especially when dipped into their house sauce. You can make your own sauce and their house ingredient is DELICIOUS, but also super spicy. I got tons of different fish cakes, napa cabbage, shitake mushrooms, frozen rice cake, frozen dumplings, and more. I also had a few plates of their tteokboki and japchae. The food was good and it definitely leaves you feeling stuffed. There is so much variety that you could never get tired of it. Great place for hot pot. read more

Really outstanding, huge variety of options and very clean/modern location. Kindly open on Thanksgiving for us. Thanks so much.

The food was fresh and delicious. The ambiance is v welcoming, will come again. Service was excellent !

Decent menu! Great service excellent food was very fresh I liked the fresh menu such as the vegetables. lots of different Korean foods.

we love the 9292 sauce we come almost every week good food good service best shabu shabu in Duluth

So many options of food and broth the best hot pot im duluth! The service is fast and very kind!

I have been to this 9292 Shabu several times before and I heard about recent ownership change of the restaurant. Not to mention about quality of beef they are serving and its hot food station where I can find my favorite Korean rice cake (ddukbokki), Korean pancakes (kimchee jeon) & cold noodles, I was able to find newly added Rice Wrap station to its menu. Using the wrap stand on your table, it is easy to make healthy rice wraps by adding ingredients of your choice at NO additional cost. I put sliced lettuce, sliced, bean sprout, pineapple and beef & shrimps from shabu. My first rice wrap came out perfect and I could not help saying "D...a...m...n" (in a good way). I was also told that the new owner will add some more shocking items to its menu in near future (next month or so). I can not wait to see what they are. read more

This is the ultimate hot pot/ Shabu place. The selections are very abundant, fresh and generous. You can either have just buffet or add protein for a la car. The place is spacious with many seats that are usually available even during weekend peek hours. The wait stuffs' services are very polite and swift. I like to bring my own Chinese hot pot BBQ sauce because that is how I grew up eating with. But otherwise, they have a selection of sauces as well. read more

This AYCE shabu hot pot place has always been on our list to try out. We stopped by recently on a cold day. Their prices went up by a lot, especially on the weekends. They only have lunch specials on weekdays (probably better cost wise). For AYCE (no meat) is $25.99 and AYCE (with meat) is $39.99. It is a hefty price and I would say only worth it if you can eat A LOT. We did love our experience there, and there was definitely a ton of vegetables. There were a variety of things we could get and the bone broth was great. They had an area with all types of balls (meat ball, fish ball, etc) and all sorts of mushrooms. I liked their sauce bar as well! They also have an area with all types of noodles (rice cake, udon, etc). We left very very full and happy. We would return, but probably for the weekday lunch prices. read more

A good selection of shabu ingredients and a mini hot buffet. We liked that there were also menu items included in the basic dinner buffet such as soba and nengmyun.

Incredible options, fantastic service and super clean. Would totally come back! The hot bar had great options, everything was super fresh. !

Came by on Feb 14th for a late valentines dinner. We walked in at 9:23pm (Yelp said they closed at 11pm) so we figured we'd have enough time to order. However, the woman at the front said they're kitchen was closed. I would appreciate it if they updated their hours. read more

This was a nice experience. For $39.99, it was AYCE off the regular menu and then meat options. Meat options included ribeye, brisket, non-fatty beef, lamb, chicken, shrimp, squid, clams, mussels, baby octopus. On the regular AYCE menu, there was a healthy, fresh offering of lots of tasty items. For veggies, you can choose from Napa cabbage, bean sprouts, spinach, watercress, kale, lettuce, tomatoes, zucchini, broccoli, a few different squashes, lotus root. There were more but I can't remember all of it. There were 2 different types of mushrooms offered along with Woodard ears. Fish cakes were plentiful and imitation crab. Please be aware the imitation crab is wrapped with plastic. Don't try to boil it. There were 3 different offerings of dumplings, a variety of noodles, and there were also noodles for cold noodle soup! The cold soup was available nearby for those noodles. My favorite part: banchan! There was a very wide variety of offerings: kimchi, spicy cucumbers, japchae, fried rice, kimchi fried rice, veggie pancakes, fruit salad, steamed egg, corn, tteok-bokki to name a few! All the items were fresh and plentiful. The sauce bar was a bit limited to what I was expecting but it did have garlic, spicy peppers, ponzu sauce, 9292 sauce (spicy-sour sauce), sambal, green onions, peanut sauce, sesame sauce. There were a few more sauce offerings but I couldn't even tell you what it is. There were the basic salt, pepper, sesame oil, soy sauce, etc. The most boring part of the meal: the broth. the 9292 broth was TASTELESS. There was no broth taste to it whatsoever. We didn't try any other broth because this was the one recommended by the server. The meats were fresh and the shrimp were a good size. Will definitely be back. read more

First off the place looks great. Very very clean and well managed overall. Which is a plus these days with the bar being set so high for places. I loved seeing staff constantly checking the self-serve bar and ensuring everything is on point and replenished. Our waitress was also very friendly and attentive. Now as for the food. I ordered the spicy dashi soup and unlimited meat. While the soup wasn't the most tasty it is mainly in my mind part of the cooking process. There are plenty of sauces to choose from. I am not Japanese so I'm unsure I am able to correctly describe shabu shabu. But I have heard from some people that the soup base isnt the same as you would expect from Taiwanese or Chinese hot pot where the broth is rich in taste from the get go. Shabu has a blander broth that just improved as the night goes on and you are cooking various vegetables and meats. While I may be completely wrong that was my understanding so I never expected a broth that would blow my mind from the get go. Overall this place was awesome. I thought the options at the bar were great and the sauces also great. The ready hot food were also not the worst and happy that option was even there. I will be back soon. read more

I really enjoyed this HotPot place! 2022 has been about exploring different HotPot places for me. I went a couple times in 2021, but just now trying the different styles. 9292 Shabu is a little less expensive than other places in the area, but only if you don't get any meat. However, they do have so many vegetarian options (plus some processed meats) in their buffet. They have 6 different broths to choose from and my favorite was the daishu. In the buffet, they have all sorts of varieties to add to your hotpot that you don't even need to order meats. I did order the brisket though and it was excellent! The service was almost a 5/5, but they were a little busy at the time too. The servers are super sweet though. I would definitely come back! read more

How am I just now discovering this restaurant?? I love the concept of having all sorts of items as AYCE. I mean, there was so much to choose from: assortment of noodles, Korean side dishes, hot dog, fish balls, sauce bar, variety of dumplings, tons of veggies, etc. I can't exactly remember the price. It doesn't come with any of the meats from the menu, but honestly I was pretty satisfied with whatever was on the buffet bar because there was such a variety. There's also an AYCE option that includes meat which is the option I opted for this time (I think $40 pp). We ordered 4 orders of meat and left insanely full. I would say if you don't eat that much meat then maybe get an order or two to share between two people. I think anything after 2 orders of meat for 2 people, then the AYCE option with meats is probably priced better. The soup base I tried was a spicy one. It wasn't bad. I definitely added heaps of garlic and sauces to it to make it tasty, but next time I'll go with the bone broth. I absolutely can't wait to return. read more

I recently visited 9292 shabu again since their opening!! After one bad experience I had with them, I never returned until recently. We've been their twice in two weeks and I have to say this place changed a lot. Our server was amazing and they have varieties of toppings to vegetables. Our server make sure our meat never empty and he's super funny as well. After the first fun experience we decided to go back the following week to my surprise was the same server. He didn't recognize us but we did!! He was as fun as always and running when we press the bell. For the price, no one should be complaining about the place. The only reason they didn't get 5 stars from me is because of their sauce bar. They do have varieties but it's still lacking. Until next time!!! Peace read more
