    All That Shabu ALWAYS hits the spot. For comforting, filling, quality shabu..look no further cuz this is your place! My fam & I always love coming here when we crave meat and fresh veggies. For the $39.99 AYCE dinner price, you really can't go wrong. My fav lately is mixing the spicy beef broth & miso. #trust It's not uber spicy & super flavorful. Everything is fresh and plentiful. The atmosphere is chill. And service is great! Still our fav, go-to Shabu in Irvine!!! RxFoodie recommend!

    Sunday lunch. No wait. Our server, Tay, was very friendly and attentive. Fantastic experience as usual. Love how consistent it is every single time we stop by. Left very satisfied. Til next time!

    TLDR: You're paying about $40 for 11 meat options, a fully loaded buffet table, decent cooked foods, all you can drink soda, and ice cream. I'd say it's a hard deal to beat, given the current shabu landscape. I just felt that the meats weren't good enough to merit a 5-star rating. Soup: I'd stay away from the Original House broth because that's the blandest. Yes, the meats would flavor it up, but I prefer to have an already good broth that the meat will improve. I'll list the meats that I liked, so I ordered these multiple times. - 8. Filet Mignon - 9. All that Shabu: Ribeye - 10: Angus Choice: Beef Chuck Flap - 11: Lamb shoulder These are the ones that are okay. Stuff I won't eat too much of - 1. Angus Beef Brisket - 3. Angus Flat Iron Steak - 4. Angus Chuck Eye Steak One and dones - 2. Wagyu style beef belly - 7. Free range chicken breast Fried Rice: I thought it was fine. Adding some meat to it, soup, or other viands would help spice things up. Bulgogi: Good enough to get as a chaser. Better than the one and done meats, but not better than the rest of the pack. Chicken wings: Cold, used to be crispy, it's how they get people to stop eating the meats. Good enough to try, but I'd refrain from eating too much of this. Buffet section: Good amount of vegetables, classic shabu balls (squid ball, lobster ball, fish ball, etc), some seafood options (white fish, clams, frozen baby scallops), and some noodle options. I would say that I kinda wished they had Goma (sauce), because they didn't. Service: Solid. They make sure you're topped up all the time, and the food arrives relatively quickly. Although, I came here during a slow night. Ambiance: Classic shabu vibe. A bunch of tables for 8s that have an option to be split between parties if needed. The buffet area is in the center of everything, and there's a good amount of space between tables and within the buffet section.

    Didn't I mention we love Shabu Shabu and come here about once a month? Yes, our recent visit was as great as usual.

    Food Menu & spicy broth
    Ta'Hari J.

    What a cool dining experience. Multiple broth selections, good cuts of meat(wagyu options), along with a plethora of veggies, sides, and sauces. The spicy broth is soooo good! They have a huge open dining area that seats a ton of people. Great for big parties! Some of the hot sides: vegetable white rice, Chowmein "like" noodles, spicy sweet koju Jang fried chicken similar to orange chicken. Some cold veggie options I remember seeing : Corn, bok Choi, clams, mussels, scallions, Kimchi etc. Overall $40 a person is totally feasible. Considering it's all you can eat and you can have up to 4 meats at a time at your table. Staff are extremely friendly and attentive. They dont always offer more meat if there is still trays on the table so be sure to speak up so you can always have 4 trays of meats.

    All That Shabu really lives up to the name - the experience is all that. The restaurant itself is huge with plenty of seating, but even then it can still rack up a long wait, which honestly just says a lot about how popular (and good) it is. It's an all-you-can-eat shabu shabu concept. There's a separate buffet-style area with a really wide selection of appetizers, fresh vegetables, seafood, sauces, and other condiments. The meat quality is solid for AYCE, definitely above average, and the pricing feels fair for what you get. Between the variety, quality, and setup, it feels like good value overall. Service was also great. Staff were attentive, helpful, and kept things moving smoothly even when it was busy. What I appreciated most is that it never felt repetitive. Between the different sauces, sides, and combinations you can create, every bite can taste a little different, which keeps the experience from ever getting boring.

    Fresh, thinly sliced meats - perfect for shabu! Great variety of meat choices.
    Thao Cindy T.

    Our fav AYCE shabu spot, and we've tried many! Food is fresh, consistent and lots of variety. Great value! It's often packed so recommend arriving early before 5:30pm if you have large parties. The parking lot is large but area is always packed so might have to drive around a few times if you come by during peak hours. They have a large variety of cooked dishes, fresh seafood, thinly sliced (one of the top reasons we come here) fresh variety of shabu meat choices, kim chi, noodle options, tofu, fresh veggies option and other topping varieties to choose from. They have ice cream and sesame balls as dessert options. We like their spicy beef broth and the kids enjoy their miso broth. You can make your own dipping sauce - several options to pick from at their sauce bar. I prefer sesame or peanut dipping sauce. I add vinegar, garlic, green onions, Serrano chili, chili oil, sesame oil to mine. Kids like their ponzu sauce. Service is always great and they are always packed!

    Huge plus-each person had their own pot to add their preferred broth and ingredients! You start by selecting your broth and meat options with your server. For the broth, I opted for half beef bone and the original house. For the meats, I ordered lamb, ribeye, brisket, filet mignon, and beef belly. Then head to the self-serve bar to for appetizers and ingredients. The self serve bar offered a wide range of options, including leafy greens, vegetables, noodles, dumplings seafood, rice cakes, and fish cakes for your hot pot. They also had stations for appetizers, sides, sauces, desserts, and drinks. Not only did they have soft drinks, but also had green tea and sikhye (Korean rice drink), which was all included in the price of $38.99 for dinner. This spacious restaurant can accommodate large parties (we had a party of 10) and provided great service.

    My favorite shabu shabu spot ever. Their selection of meats and vegetables are plentiful, and they also have a hot bar. I like the original broth, which is a little plain, but that's good because they have a large sauce bar, so I could make my own broth. Service is fast and the meats are really good.

    Lucky P.

    Great place for a vast amount of food selection. As a food connoisseur I can stay the price point to quality and quantity this place has it right. You can indulge yourself with all the premium meat seafood and veggies, plus included drinks and dessert. On stop shop. Place is clean and good service response. The staff was helpful with giving their recommendations than just let you pick. Overall, you can't go wrong at this place. The wait is abit long when it's meal time but that can give an advantage that you can get an appetite and enjoy your meal. Only bad part is you need to cook your own meal and add the sauce or flavoring. So it's an opportunity for folks who can't cook, but for the rest this is one of the best spots for all shabu.

    Being a shabu shabu fanatic, All That Shabu had to be on my hit list to try in OC. Parking usually isn't too bad as the parking lot is large. Wait time can get long depending if you go during peak time, but they do a good job of managing tables and getting the wait list to move quickly. The restaurant inside is nice and spacious. The meat was fresh, sliced well, and cooked perfectly in the broth. Nothing tasted frozen or low quality, which makes a big difference for shabu. Broth was flavorful without being heavy, however we all agreed in our party that it could use some improvement as it could have been more tasty. The sauce bar had plenty of options to mix things how you like. Service was quick and attentive, and the place felt clean and well-run even when it was busy. Pricing is around $30 on weekdays and up to $39 on weekends/evenings. Note that they do include gratuity automatically for big parties. Overall, solid quality and a spot I'd happily come back to.

    Meats galore! Eat to your heart's content!
    Tim L.

    I've been coming to this location for the past three years and I'm finally getting around to writing because it's probably one of the best shabu restaurants I've been to. The meat and seafood quality consistently triumphs over most spots in the area. Their other selection of other proteins, fresh veggies, buffet items, and noodles is also generous, making the experience memorable. A perk for me is their unlimited refills on drinks: not just soda but other refreshments such as green tea, iced tea, and shikhye (Korean rice punch). Additionally, they have some dessert items such as sesame covered glutinous rice donuts (찹쌀도넛) and some froyo. It's just an all-around experience when it comes to pleasing your palate. The ambience is loud and lively, as you have booths on the side, individual tables in the back and other side, with some communal tables (for larger parties) towards the center of the restaurant. When it's busy, it will get loud. However, the service is always on point. The servers are always alert and moving around, checking whether your need more soup base or meats. They make sure your tables are always full of meat plates. Such a rarity these days. As for prices, it is very reasonable for OC, especially given the quality and quantity you can consume. Parking is also ample, since it is part of a pretty large plaza. During holidays and peak times, you may have to wait for hours. So, if you want to avoid the lines, make sure to come during the weekdays or as soon as it opens (and off-peak hours). Note: lunch service restricts a few meat options. If you want a dependable shabu place with ample options and great quality, make sure you stop by. You won't regret it! A++

    They offer a wide selection of broths, with the spicy one being my personal favorite. Meats are ordered à la carte, while the buffet section includes a variety of vegetables, noodles, and seafood. There's also a ready to eat section with items like japchae and fried chicken. In addition, they have a large selection of beverages and desserts, so there's something for everyone. One thing to note is that the quality of the meat seems to decline with each additional order. We visited around 7:30 PM on a Saturday and waited about 30 minutes. Overall, it's a solid spot for ayce shabu!

    Hot bar selections: edamame, Korean fried chicken, tempura

Wait…read moretypically isn't too long and although it seems like they tend to be understaffed, you can tell the workers are working hard to accommodate all the customers. They start off by giving us cups with a jug of water and thermos that has broth from gomtang inside. The menu is pretty extensive a good variety of cold and hot soups and entrees. After you order, they give you a variety of sides to complement the meal which is great to snack on while waiting for the meal. If you have a bigger group, the kalbijjim is perfect to share as it is huge and comes with a lot of braised short rib, veggies, and noodles that have soaked up the sauce. The short rib is so tender and is very rich in flavor. The naengmyeon is cool and refreshing especially on a hot day. The seolleongtang is warm and soothing with salt to adjust to your liking and the purple rice to soak up the depth of the soup broth.

If you're going with a few people, the Braised Spicy Premium Beef Ribs with the flat glass noodles is definitely the move. The portion easily feeds two to three. The meat is super tender and just falls off the bone, covered in a rich, spicy sauce that has a nice kick to it. The flat glass noodles soak up all that sauce, and the chunks of kabocha squash add a slight sweetness that balances out the spicy, heavy beef. Service is super fast.

If you're looking for a quick group lunch spot where you can split something huge and spicy, it's definitely worth coming here.

Unfortunately, instead of feeling welcomed, we were made to feel like an inconvenience. There were still approximately 45 minutes before closing, yet the staff repeatedly rushed us as if they were trying to get us out of the restaurant as quickly as possible. What was even more frustrating was when our bills were brought to us. We had literally only had the checks for about two minutes, yet we were already being rushed and expected to pay immediately. We were still trying to finish our experience, and there was absolutely no reason to make customers feel pressured when the restaurant was still open. I understand that employees have a closing time and may need to prepare the restaurant, but that does not justify rushing paying customers out while the business is still officially open. The entire interaction felt extremely unprofessional, dismissive, and disrespectful. We came in with the intention of supporting a local business, but after this experience, we will not be returning and will not be recommending this restaurant to others. It is disappointing to spend our money somewhere and leave feeling like we were an inconvenience rather than valued customers. I sincerely hope management takes this feedback seriously and addresses the way customers are being treated, because this kind of service can easily turn a first-time customer into someone who never comes back.
