This my new favorite hot pot place! Love the buffet style! It's super convenient especially for those who don't like all the veggies they give you jn a platter. You can pick out anything you want from veggies, noodles, dumplings, fish cakes etc., unlimited for only $10 during lunch. Meat would be separate but the buffet is good enough for me. They also have hot food like japchae, fried rice, noodles available. read more

Fresh vegetables and pretty good service. We have to wait in line but get a table quick though. I think their vegetable is more fresh than other hot pot places around even though it is kinda all you can eat style. read more

I really was surprised by how good this place is. It's all you can eat for all the veggies and fish balls and fish cakes. There's also noodles bar and a hot bar with pastas and fried rice. I ordered a lamb and a prime beef between 2 people and it was a lot. Next time I may just order 1 meat to share between two. The price is really good too. $12.99/pp all you can eat minus meat. I love this place. Perfect place to take a big group. read more

9292 Shabu is one of my go to places for shabu. It's the best value, great quality buffet style veggies, fish cakes, mushrooms, etc. and the broths and meat quality does not disappoint. The servers are attentive as well. Even if you are doing the choosing for your sauces and food items to put into your hot pot, the servers are quick at taking care of your empty plates, replacing your waters, and giving you more broth or whatever you may need. The most memorable server was Kue Min. He was a quick man who could crack up simple quick jokes and keep the atmosphere going nicely. Thank you 9292 Shabu and Kue for never disappointing. read more

I am in between 3-4 star. Food: Pretty Decent since it's only Hot Pot meaning you pretty much cook everything on your own. The broth I got was Dashi which is commonly used at most hot pots. They do have a vegetable broth which is also super good. The benefits here is you can get all the veggies and extras ( crab meat, fish cake, noodles, kimchi, sausage, rice cake etc) you want. It's buffet style so it's self served. They do have a hot bar with fried rice, spaghetti, cream pasta, and spicy rice cakes called Tteokpokki. All mediocre and what's to expect at a buffet Service: The front/host service was good they sat me down pretty quick (2pm) they had a promotion and it ended so it was pretty slow. They girls were super nice and asked me how I was doing. Now the waiters.... I guess in the beginning when we ordered our food it was okay. He came greeted us and got our meet types, after that we never saw him again. I use the button to call the server 3 times ( water, chopsticks & our check) I understand it's a buffet but if you want the full 20%+ tip I need the restaurant service. The waiter was non-existence during our visit and when I clicked the button that called the waiter they just all stared at me. A manager came up and asked what I needed. PRICE: Please come before 2PM if you don't want to be charged dinner price. It's not big of a difference but at least you know. Also they have an unlimited option or you can do no meat. I think I was super excited about the hype about the place. I was wowed by the veggie selection but over all it's just another hot pot place. read more

The servers were really nice. The vegetables and sides are on a buffet and then they bring the meats out as you order them. A little pricy but lots of options and everything tasted really good. My only negative is that they stop making the side items at least 4 hours (when we got there) before closing and 3 hrs before the kitchen closes (because the kitchen closes an hour early). There was very little rice and sides left so we did not get to eat much of that and it was old and cold but the hot pot was really good and I love the buffet style read more

I LOVE this place. I went to many different shabu Shabu before, but this place bet's all. This Shabu place is buffet style. All you can eat different types of vegetable, dumplings, hotdogs, fish cake, different types of noodles, and some hot foods like Fried rice, spaghetti, Teokbokki(Korean Stir-fry spicy rice cake). Price is very reasonable. All the meat or seafood is extra charge. They're all the vegetables and meats are very fresh. I'm going back soon, I'll upload pictures then. read more

Came here twice and wasn't impressed with the service. Even though it is buffet, you still need someone to clean up the empty plates. They raised the price to 14.99 for weekend lunch. With this price I would go somewhere else with better service. read more

They changed their prices completely, and you don't even have the option of not getting meat. $25 pp is a rip-off. Not going there again.

It was a great experience for me and my church to go here. They had so much ingredients to add to the broth. For the broth you get 2 to choose from and each broths you have a choice to get them spicier or regular. 1 is daichi (not sure am I saying it correctly) that's the seaweed broth which you can get it regular or spicier, then there's the beef bone and this too has option of the spicy or regular. I've chosen the daichi and went with the regular. For the spicy version they're adding a spicy reddish side dish type to the broth. You also have a choice to either just get what's on the line or you can order more meats or seafoods. I've just stuck with what was on the line because I didn't wanted to over spend and it was my first time so I just kept it that way. You're to make your own dipping sauce and if you're unsure what to add peanut sauce is a safe bet. You can do a lot with it. You can make it spicy but that peanut sauce will stand out and make it nuttier. Well if you have but allergies then stay away from them. And it's fun to share with others as you eat with them on which sauces were good so others can try them (don't hug it all)! Jk lol One of the ingredients which I fell in love was the cheese filled Tteokbokki. Each rice cakes was filled with mozzarella cheese which burst with excitement on each bite. Like I've said it was a great experience for us! read more

A bunch of great Korean restaurants around this area so I'm shocked this was not as good as I thought it would be. It was ok but not great. It didn't "wow" me. It is $30 for unlimited meats. Many reviews have said it's overpriced for what you get and I agree. read more

Best Shabushabu in town! Unlimited vegetables & sides for a good price. Taste is very fresh. We also had the beef brisket which was tender & cooks in seconds. Kue was our server & he has phenomenal. Definitely recommend him read more

Me and my husband went to this place for this first time . It was packed. Price is too good to be true ($12.99 for diner, includes all the veggies , broth , fish cake etc... ). All the veggies are fresh , clean . You have many selections.if you like meat which they charge you separately, quantity is bit small . The only complaint is they short on stuff , it take forever wait stuff add broth for ya . Still , Highly recommended this place ! read more

Very disappointed only vegetable in the bar and the service was poor too! Not satisfied with everything

Amazing food. It is worth to try. So healthy as well. I enjoyed a lot. Vegetable broth and all the vegetables in it was very delicious.

Food is good for the price but watch out for the automated tip, it's based on total, not subtotal. This means you are paying tip on the sales tax. I wish the state taxing department would audit the restaurants that do this. read more

Broth is bland. Spicy broth was given to put some side dish into the bland regular broth. Price is good if you don't order meat. Sauce option is limited compared to other hotpot places in town. I would go again just to eat vege hotpot. read more

Very reasonable price and the amount of food you can get is amazing. You'll leave full and feeling healthy!

this restaurant only serves veggies and frozen hot pot food, A order of beef is expensive and only a thin four pieces, this is my last regret to have dinner. I can spend more money to make me feel like a meat and seafood buffet. read more

This restaurant has a lot of choices which has plenty of veggies and hot foods and special sources. And also the pricing is reasonable for everyone, especially I like the wonderful space inside with nice and wide interior. I would recommend this restaurant to everyone who wants to get all kind of healthy foods with your family,friends and neighborhoods. read more

This restaurant is the greatest restaurant I've been to in a while. I'm currently on a traveling business trip, and I MUST SAY.....Exquisite!!! Service,atmosphere, crispness of vegetables...wonderful. My only qualm is that I didn't order more. read more

Very fresh, clean, all you can eat shabushabu, must try! Just opened for business Jan 2019

Our family really loved going here. It's one of our go-to spots. I would take out of town visitors here, and overall, it was just a place we enjoyed frequenting. My Mom's birthday is this week, so we wanted to do a birthday lunch at 9292 Shabu. Knowing July 5th is considered a holiday by many businesses, we called ahead last week and asked if in fact July 5th would be Monday prices or holiday prices (weekends and holidays cost more). The girl who picked up the phone assured us that it would be normal week day prices. We were seated today and were immediately told that today is considered holiday pricing. This obviously went against what we were told and considering we had a party of 8 people, we would not have chosen 9292 Shabu had we not been told what we were told. It was a complete bait and switch, BUT it also would have involved a very simple solution if 9292 Shabu believed in good customer service. All they had to do was, you know, honor their word from last week (what a concept). Nope. They held steadfast. They wouldn't budge. They said the girl who picked up the phone shouldn't have said what she said... instead of just doing the right thing. I love being Asian, but Asian owned businesses are notorious for caring more about making a buck vs offering good customer service. I think 9292 Shabu lost my business for good, and they're getting a one star review. It was such a simple decision to make, and they chose to take the path of least resistance. I'm sure they don't care. The restaurant was very busy, so they're just going to shrug it off. The sad thing is, they don't care that they lost our business because they know can just replace us. Whenever you have a business that's in high demand, customers (even loyal ones) end up being expendable. read more

We tried this place because we saw that it had a buffet of vegetables and noodles. The buffet selection was good, but missing a few items I like with hotpot. The fish cakes were a little gamey, but the main let down was the flavorless broth. I still prefer to go to Juicy and Tasty for hotpot. It's worth a try, but I don't think I'll be coming back. read more

food and service was good, however towards the end of our meal a friend noticed a bunch of mosquitoes in her broth! not sure if it was from the broth or vegetables, but she found a good 7 or 8 of them. the manager comped one meal out of the 4. the place really is good but it doesn't appear they check/wash their vegetables, or their broth. so if you go, triple check all your food! read more

Favorite place for hot pot! I don't love buffets but I love the unlimited veggies and fixings. Been several times and just can't say enough good things about this place. read more

For me and my partner, this is one of our favorite places to go for dinner. We love hot pot, and this buffet style of this place allows us to each tailor our meal to exactly what we want. As if wonderful food at a very reasonable price weren't enough of a draw, the staff at this restaurant is wonderful. We are always treated with absolute respect and courtesy. There are a few of the wait staff who recognize us and know what sort of broth and drinks we want, so we don't even have to ask. As long as this place is open, we will be their customers. read more

Ok let's just say that it is awesome there. The veggies are fresh, meat is good and the side dishes are yummy. I love the variety of ingredients you can make for our own sauce.the fresh noodles are delish. Will.be going back next week. I hope they dont raise the prices. read more

Due to luke warm reviews, I didn't expect much. My wife and I went this place today for lunch after 1pm. The place was still packed and we had to wait for 15mins. When we mentioned this was our first visit, the waiter suggested to go with the lunch special ($10) without ordering any meat which would be extra. But then the lunch special included so much more than just veggies. They had delicious dumplings, various fish cakes, noodles, and soup. I ate so much more than usual and enjoyed through the last bite. This will be our go-to place twice a week at least for a while. It's much cheaper to eat here than preparing the same at home. read more

This is a really good all you can eat hotpot because there are lots of veggies and items to choose from including premaid items like tteokbokki and pasta. Although I do wish they had more sauce variation. read more

Ordered meat which was not part of buffet, which is understandable, but was so poor for the money I paid for quality and quantity. Will not order next time just stay with basic items which are plenty to eat... read more

The concept of buffet + shabu is interesting and although 9292 Shabu isn't the first to do it in Duluth (Gom Shabu in Suwanee does too), this place takes the cake for implementation and presentation. Lunch is $9.99 and dinner is $12.99 and it gives you access to all of the vegetables and the hot bar (everything except the meat and seafood). You can order meat/seafood in individual servings or as unlimited, both of which are fair prices. Design: The interior itself is very sleek and modern. There are 2, 4, and 6 person tables to the right and back and more private rooms curtained off to the left. Bathrooms are separated; the men's were near the back left and I believe the women's were to the back right. The buffet itself is in the middle. The layout is...unique? Unlike most buffet places, there isn't a flow or path to follow. You just kinda have to go around everything. Sauce bar is in the middle. Food: One word: AMAZING! You have your standard vegetables that come in all shabu plates (cabbage, broccoli, sweet potato noodles, mushrooms, tofu, sausages, fish cakes etc.) in addition to many other foods (cauliflower, lettuce, imitation crab meat). What's unique is that they have different varieties of the same food. Pork vs. Beef sausage, different types of fish cakes, different types (colors) of noodles, and even different types of ddeok (roll vs. flat)! If you have any picky eaters or children in your group and still want to eat shabu, this place would be great choice. There's also an additional hot bar at the end/beginning with pasta choices, tteokbokki, fried rice, and japchae. Though it seems out of place, I think it compliments the shabu nicely as an appetizer and to differentiate them from their competition. Broth options are aplenty with traditional and spicy versions. Example: Spicy vegetable is regular vegetable broth with spicy pickled radish provided on a small dish. Service: Hit or miss. I went two times, once for a weekday lunch and again for a Friday dinner. Both times, our young hostess was sweet and conversed with our group in Korean and English. Though she seemed swamped, she was able to prioritize her tasks between assisting customers inside the store and picking up the phone. Our server during lunch was amazing too. He was quick to come when we called and checked up on us just enough. Service during dinner was...questionable. Our group came at a busy time so for the first hour, I just let it go. Our group of 7 was split into 2 tables with 2 different servers. The server for our table forgot our silverware and we had to flag her down for it. The other table's server didn't come back to take their order after handing them a menu. Our menu was taken away after ordering our broth without asking us if we wanted to order meat. The tables have a call button but I don't think it works because for our entire meal, we would press it multiple times and in the end, just flag a server who happened to be walking by. When we finished, it had died down a lot but both servers in our section were busy cleaning tables that we had to get up and ask for the check. I think you pay at the front? Our table waited for about 10-15 minutes and then just went up to pay because no one was coming. Overall, a good experience. I think I'll be visiting often from now on, but during lunch or weekday dinner. read more
