    I'm always excited for shabu shabu and was excited to try this place. This is an all you can eat shabu spot in Mira Mesa. The restaurant is very spacious. You select your broth, meats, and help yourself to the bar. I selected the beef bone and my partner got the sukiyaki. The broths were good but the sukiyaki had a ton more flavor and overpowered the bone broth. For the meats we got Angus beef brisket, beef short plate, and angus flat iron steak. You can only order items at a time as a table. The meats were thinly sliced and cooked very fast. As far as the self serve bar, there are seafood, noodles, and a bunch of veggies. Sadly, they did not have milk tea. They only had soft serve for dessert. Overall it was a good experience and would come back.

    Pretty solid for an ayce hot pot. The restaurant itself is clean and tidy. The staff is attentive and friendly. The meats they provide are good quality. I wish they had more food items such as fried bean curd, fish cake, and fish cake mochi. Prices are typical.

    I was in Mira Mesa at H Mart and when I came out of the store these ladies were handing out coupons for the new restaurant All That Shabu. So we all decided to go on New Year's day. We sat down and they brought the broth and meat to us. For everything else we went to the bar. I loved the fact that they had a great selection of food. They are probably the only hot pot location that has crab. I loved everything, but felt the sauces had too much sweetness too them. Next time I will create a different mix.

    First time here for girls outing and was pleasantly surprised with how spacious it was, their service, and the food/bar offerings for the individual Shabu experience. I love how there were two sides for everything to keep people from waiting on the same thing. The meats were delicious. We tried all and our faves was 1,4,5 - beef brisket, chuck eye, and pork belly. They came out fast and fresh (not frozen) The only thing I think can improve is the broth umami. It was lacking flavor, but we saved it by added our own seasoning. Overall, I'd come back again!

    My family and I came here for dinner and had quite a feast! This is a Korean all you can eat hot pot. You pay one price and eat as much as you want for 90 minutes, drinks and dessert desserts included. They had a nice selection of meats. My personal favorites were numbers 2 and 10. At the buffet counter, there was one section dedicated to hot cooked food. The selections were a bit limited compared to their Irvine location, but it was still relatively good. I love the huge selection of fresh vegetables, seafood, noodles, etc. I like how each person has their own pot and not have to share. My choice of broth was the spicy beef broth. I didn't think it was spicy at all though. On a scale of 1 to 10, with 10 being the spiciest, I would say it was a 2 at most. There was only a slight hint of spicy flavor. We had really great service. The wait staff visited our table often and made sure we always had enough meat. I can see our family making this restaurant a regular place to eat. What's so great about this restaurant is that you don't leave smelling like hot pot. At some of the other restaurants where the exhaust fan is old or bad, you smell like food when you leave.

    During the cold winter months, who doesn't love some warm shabu shabu? This is a AYCE shabu restaurant that took over the old Souplantation location in Mira Mesa. Its a Korean shabu restaurant so a lot of the side dishes are Korean inspired. It's very spacious inside and can hold around 200 people. They only take reservations for parties of 6 or more. At the table, each person gets their own pot but you only get one flavor. The menu includes various soup bases, meat cuts, an assortment of vegetables, noodles, seafoods, appetizers (Korean rice cake, japchae, sesame balls, and fried chicken), self serve ice cream, unlimited soft drinks, and side sauces/kimchee. I appreciated all the workers were hustling and doing their best to serve all the customers as fast as they could while being friendly and professional. All the food was tasty and fresh. Just a few things they can work on to make it a 5 star experience: - they need an online reservation system. When you get there, they use the old school pencil on a paper system. - they need to be better about refilling the food and drinks. We were there during peak dinner time (630-8pm) and a lot of item were low and specialty teas were out but not being replenished. - wish they cut the meat slices a little thicker. It's so thin it falls apart when you put it in your hot pot.

    First time here. We watched as The Soup Plantation was converted to All That Shabu. We were the first cut this Monday and were greeted and seated immediately. The server described the broth option and asked my wife is she wanted the sukiyaki broth. She said yes and selected it. I chose the Miso. My wife selected 3 meat trays, while I selected a variety of seafood from the self serve section. All the food was delicious and worth the price. The ambiance was modern and friendly. We will definitely be back. Oh yes they have a nice selection of large Japanese Beers in Bottles.

    Came to this place on a week night, it was pretty empty, but i think it used to be a Soup plantation so it HUGE, i mean HUGE! I don't think they could fill the place if they tried! I liked that you had your own burner so theres no fear cross contamination if you're a germaphobe. I also liked that the control for the burner was on the table top so you could turn it up or down on your own It's all you can eat weekdays from 11:30 - 3 $28.99 and weeknights, weekends and holidays $37.99 which isn't too bad considering it's AYCE. You can choose from the following sauces Original, Miso, Vegetarian, Beef Bone, Spicy Beef, and sukiyaki. We tried all 11 meat selections (4 of them only avaliable when you pay the full price $37.99.) the selections were 1. Prime angus brisket, 2.Short Plate (beef belly), 3. Prime Flat iron steak, 4. Prime angus chuck eye, 5. Pork belly, 6.pork butt, 7. Free range chicken. The 4 extra meats offered at dinner and weekends are 8. Fillet Mignon, 9.Rib Eye, 10.Angus chuck flap, and 11.lamb shoulder. I chose the spicy beef broth, i didnt find it very spicy, and as usual i added a bunch of garlic and chili sauce to spice it up. My favorite meats were 1.angus beef brisket, 2. Short Plate, 9.Rib eye, and the 10. Chuck flap. The servers know the meats by the numbers, so it's easier if you order by the number on the menu. I liked all the pork selections. The Lamb was a bit too gamey for me. Both the flat iron steak and the fillet were not fatty enough for me. There were a lot of veggies, seafood and appetizers to choose from. There's a definite Korean influence in the Kim chee, jap Che, bulgogi, and spicy rice cakes. I really liked the jap che, and fried gyoza. The steamed gyoza that you put into the hot pot wasn't as good, same product but the crispy fried texture adds a lot. The veggies were fresh and i liked the variety. I also liked that there were many different types of noodles. As always i eat the noodles last after the broth is flavored from cooking all the stuff thru the night. i chose the fresh ramen noodles which was a nice way to finish out the hot pot portion of the meal. There was a soft serve as well as soft drinks and tea which was a nice way to end on a sweet note. Over all i liked the selection. Service was attentive and friendly, they came around often and asked if we wanted more meats. You are allowed 3 selections at a time, there is a 90 minute time limit and $5 will be charged if there is an excessive amount of left over food. The place is huge! I think they could wall off 1/3 of the dining area and rent it out as another business!

    All That Shabu opened fairly recently in SD and we tried it early on! This location used to be Souplantation, so the restaurant is huge. We made a reservation because we had a big group and we were seated right away. They have individual pots which is probably my favorite thing about this place! I got the bone broth which I really enjoyed, but my friends got their house broth or something and felt like it was really bland. Outside of that, the meats are good, the self serve bar is filled with so many options, and includes drinks and ice cream. I would definitely go back and especially recommend it for big groups!

    There has been a switcheroo on this block of Mira Mesa Blvd with the closing of a hot pot restaurant on the north side of the street while All That Shabu recently opened on the south side. It took over a long vacant structure where a soup and salad buffet restaurant used to reside. The inside was massive with sufficient seating for at least 200 customers. I don't know if they will ever completely fill the dining area. The menu sheet was as small and simple as I have seen for an AYCE hot pot place. The adult price was $28.99 for adults during weekday lunch and then $37.99 for all other times. Children were priced based on their height. All soft drinks and sauces were included in the price. The time limit for a dining session was 90 minutes, and a five dollar surcharge would be added for excessive wasted food. The style was individual pots for each diner so there was a burner at each setting. SIx different broths were available, and I chose the Beef Bone variety which was non-spicy. Eleven types of meat were offered, however each table could only select three at a time. The two of us ordered four rounds of three meats each to complete the entire set of eleven with one duplicate included. The portion size of each meat slice was as thin and light as I have seen. That allowed for a quicker cooking time, but it also left us less satiated. We made multiple trips to the buffet and beverage stations to get drinks and various raw and cooked items. I particularly like the japchae because the cooked glass noodles had a strong peppery flavor. The tofu skin was also nice because they placed several pieces on a skewer. Other than that, the remaining raw seafood and vegetables were ordinary. The items available at the condiments bar weren't as diverse as I have seen elsewhere. Noticeably absent were dry spices and seasonings. The Lamb Shoulder, Pork Belly and Signature Beef Ribeye were my favorite meats. The last one was the meat that we ordered twice because of the marbling in the cut. The time it took for each round to arrive at our table was not long so that was positive. For the price and quality of the items at All That Shabu, I thought it was a fairly average AYCE dining experience, hence the three star rating.

    Don't let the IG videos lie to you. It looks great but in reality, it's ok. The meats are cut very thin (see pics) and they do not have a buzzer so you have to get the waiter's attention. They are also committed to their time limit. It is nice that the seafood, vegetables and cooked options like fried chicken, fried rice, etc are self serve but if you are looking for quality beef/meats, this is not the place. The soda machine served Pepsi products and they have soft serve as the free dessert. The restaurant is new and spacious. I like that everyone gets individual pots but it would be nice if we had an option to get more than one broth flavor. You could if you don't mind them refilling your original flavor with another flavor. Like I ordered the spicy broth and could've had them refill it with their classic broth. The spicy broth wasn't that spicy either. So if you want real spice, it's not the one to get. Parking is easy since there's a huge parking lot but I prefer other shabu/hot pot restaurants.

    Came here on a Friday for a late dinner with a party of 3. There was a bit of a wait but it wasn't too long. This used to be a Souplantation (RIP ) so it's pretty spacious inside with tons of seating. I ordered the sukiyaki broth, which I thought was pretty tasty. They did mention the spicy beef is their most popular broth. We ordered a range of meats. The cuts were pretty small and also thin, so if you put one piece in your broth it almost disappears. You kind of have to grab three pieces at once. There are lots of options at the self serve area, including tons of veggies, tofu, kimchi, seafood, noodles, fish balls, etc. There's a hot foods section but they were all empty when we looked. The sauce bar is pretty standard, not a ton of extras to add to your sauces. There is a rice cooker, drink machine and an ice cream machine in the self serve area as well. Service was good. They were pretty quick with bringing out our meats and refilling our broths. Overall I had a good first time here. I think they just need to improve on how they cut their meat. They had just opened for a month so hoping they improve!

    Came here for lunch and it was not busy at all. They had everyone sitting in section towards the front and the rest of the place was empty. Super clean, even the bathroom looked brand new. Huge selection of hot food items to eat, lots of veggies and seafood items to choose from. For the most part, service was really good. The first hour everything was going great, towards the last 30 minutes, the servers were gone. Our broths weren't refilled, we had to track down people to order more meats. You only get 90 minutes. Overall, we did have a great time, love the individual hot pot idea, but the last 20 minutes kind of killed it for us. I do like the concept, and it definitely has a lot more hot dishes to choose from than other places. Hopefully the service will get better.

    Brisket. The broth spicy beef and beef bone.

As I get older & really start to appreciate the value of a dollar & the importance of choices, having Snow Crab legs (sweeter than the larger King Crab & not nearly as difficult to crack as Dungeness) is fast becoming a "non-negotiable" for me. Also, it always helps when a restaurant -buffet or not- is great with large parties. Coming with a group of 11, 100s Seafood Grill Buffet handled our group well. Spoiler alert, the place didn't even hesitate when we had 100+ guests come for a reception for a beloved one's passing a few years ago. Was it a chaotic? Sure. Did they handle as swimming as possible! Absolutely. Their sushi is fresh - especially for a buffet. My niece appreciated their "Make Your Own Poké" station. Also, don't knock them for having a pro serve ice cream. (Too many customers don't know how to properly scoop -Hint: Dip the scoop in the water & move to the scoop as a spherical ball). Don't sleep on the lime, melon, & grapefruit ice cream flavors as well. The great thing about this place (like any decent buffet) is that there is something for everyone & the quality is above what other places serve. There is a 2 hour limit - just remember to be reasonable. This place has to make a profit to stay in business.

While the menu suggested small or medium they were bigger, flavorful and fresh west coasts you'd pay triple for. Discounted California wines didn't hurt either. Then there was poorly described "herbed gnocchi in cheese sauce with bread crumbs". The author of the menu should be disciplined. This is the equivalent of describing the Sistine Chapel as "colored painting on wall, some nudes". This dish was so much more than that. Sliced Serrano peppers and greens topped off one of the best gnocchi dishes i may have ever had stateside or in Italy. Really. Rewrite that. Consider starting with the statement "this small dish may sexually arouse you". All for a happy hour in desperation of a good nights sleep, red-eyed rise and a longing to return. Then there's the service. Eduardo. Perfectly responsive, friendly as all get out and whatever his base salary is he deserves more. But maybe the place is dirty. Or boring. Or not worth looking at.

In the self serve counters there are some warm foods, salads and sides, hot pot veggies and add ins, and some ice cream. I was a little disappointed there were no radishes. The waiter said they stopped stocking the radishes because they were loosing too much money on them. The kbbq alone was $40 ayce which is on the higher priced side. To me the meat quality was a little better but I don't know if it was that much better than other $30-35 kbbqs. They advertise a lot of the meats as Wagyu but they're not the best Wagyu quality. The sides you can order are pretty good. They have a variety of karaage that are crispy and delicious and they also have corn cheese that can be melted on the grill. The ice cream at the end is the cherry on top. Based on the price and food, I would give this place 3.5 stars. But the service was really good so I'm giving it an extra half star for that. Our server was super nice and personable. He made sure we were doing okay throughout the night. The other servers also came by to check on us and once near the end of the night we got a really fatty plate of brisket and he swapped it out for a less fatty cut which I've never experienced at a kbbq place. I don't know if I'll come back to this kbbq but it was a nice dinner with some friends and great service.

I can't say that I'd personally recommend the seafood or sushi. Honey Chicken was also not great. But their rice was moist and perfect, their char siu and chicken teriyaki were inspired, and their fried foods were satisfying and filling without being greasy. Overall, it was a positive experience that does the job!
