    As always it was an amazing experience beginning was a bit rocky with the host but when I was sat down with my son my server was amazing he ended up leaving me and son with a great experience, fast service , refills without asking and when the meat came out incorrectly he seen it before we had a chance to say anything came and changed it for the correct one. Big shout out to ( RANDY ) Mr. Imsosleepy this is one of my favorite place , food tasted amazing , And always a great vibe to to mention the play list Made me wanna stay there all day lol !!! Great experience overall

    Great food, great service, great vibes

    FINALLY went to Broth, on a 90 degree day, lmao! Had this place bookmarked for years. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Good thing they had ac running.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Was able to get on the waitlist from home and by the time we arrived, we were seated immediately. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It was surprisingly very busy and they are firm on the 90-minute rule, with a last call and all.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Great service all-around. Donnie was awesome. So nice, so attentive, so friendly. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Great vibes. Music was on point. We was movin' and groovin' while cookin' and eatin'.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Great food options at the buffet counter with delicious broth and meats delivered by Donnie. And you know the best part? It was hella cheaper than Shibuya in La Mirada. 5 stars, definitely coming back.

    Haven't been here in over 3 years (according to my last Yelp review) only because we moved two years ago. I miss this place! Got here at 5:45pm which was perfect, no wait. By the time we left there was a crowd waiting outside. Love the variety of vegetables and add-ons here, especially the Napa cabbage, corn, mussels, and lobster balls. Our server Mark was very attentive. Our favorite meat was the pork belly and pork shoulder but there were so many more to choose from. Definitely had all I could eat here!

    Nice place for all you can eat hot pot, from appetizer to main dish. The staff are nice and attentive. This place has wide variation of vegetables and the open bar is always replenished with fresh food. Great place to hang out with friends and family. Parking is ways to find

    For 30 dollars. It's amazing meat quality and options. I will say you do get flavor fatigue because there's only one broth you can choose from but if you go with other people than you can share each others broth! Great attentive service as well. The waiters would make sure the fire was on, that we wanted another round, and our broth was full. Great quality beef! Would 100% come back

    Amazing as always. Our server Randy was exceptional. Always checked up on us, made sure our broth and drinks were refilled, and had a good friendly professionalism. This place continues to be our go-to for shabu. And Randy definitely set the standard for next time! Sukiyaki my favorite but my family loves Spicy Miso! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Crazy busy weekend nights but empty during the day on Monday[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    This place's greatest strength is definitely its affordability. Compared to other hotpot restaurants, it is much more budget-friendly, and unlike many places that charge separately for broth, meat, vegetables, and extras, this spot is all-you-can-eat, which makes it a great value. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There is plenty of seating available, including indoor tables, booth seating, and outdoor seating options.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]On weekends, it can get quite busy and can get loud so be prepared to sit wherever space is available rather than waiting for a preferred table.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] However, this is also where my experience became a bit mixed. The broth lacked flavor, which was disappointing. I ordered the Sukiyaki broth since it is usually my go-to at other hotpot restaurants, but I could barely taste it here. The meat quality also felt a bit off. Instead of neatly separated slices, the meat often felt clumped together. When trying to grab a single piece to share with my group, we would often end up lifting an entire portion because the slices stuck together. I would recommend this place for its affordability and AYCE selection of meats and vegetables. If value is your priority, it is worth considering, though the flavor and meat quality may not compare to other hotpot spots.

    A good Shabu Shabu for a budget friendly! Honestly driving for bout 30-50 mins just go eat here is always a worth of drive. Meat options are delicious and their broth is tasty! The only downside is the buffet area has not a lot of options but it still gets through it. The Sesame/Peanut/Goma Sauce delicious! Compare to other shabu shabu places. My to go meats are beef toro, pork belly, prime cross rib can eat about 2x plate each lol!

    Decided to take one of my girl friend out for a late birthday celebration last night since she was craving hot pot. We ended up getting seated about 30 minutes or so after making a reservation. You get 90 minutes to chow down. You start off by ordering a soup base you like followed by appetizers and of course the meats. They have a self serve bar with vegetables, a variety of noodles, and seafood items as well as a sauce bar. To start off we ordered two appetizers: one regular chicken karaage and soy glazed chicken karaage although only one came out. We followed up with our server before she had to take her "break" but it never came out. Once she came back from her break, she apologized and ended up making it herself since the kitchen was backed up!? In addition, it took some time to order our meats and get them to the table. ** I would probably suggest placing 2 orders in a row so they come out in a timely manner. In addition, when I went over to the sauce bar some of their sauces and condiments were missing since they had to refill the empty containers. I was told it would only take a few minutes so I decided to patiently wait. After 5-7 minutes, the sauce/condiment refills weren't done yet so I just decided to sit back down and eat until I saw the workers place them back. Overall, the place is decent. AYCE shabu is $29.99 for dinner. Although, I wish they would train their staff a bit more so they can efficiently work well and tag team whenever it is busy or just be proactive checking on their tables more!

    Seafood and veggie station
    Audrey E.

    Was craving some Shabu so decided to go here for dinner and this place definitely satisfied my cravings. I usually order the spicy miso soup broth. Once you place your soup base and meat order in with your server you go grab your seafood, veggies, noodles, and sauces from the self serve section. You can also order appetizers that are included. The veggies and seafood are fresh. Meats are tender and unlimited. Our server was friendly, attentive, efficient. He came to check on us periodically to replenish meat orders or add more broth to our pot. Ambiance is nice. Lots of seating. You get a 90 minute time limit for the AYCE session,

    Chicken karaage
    Viviana C.

    I always come to this place and the broth never fails me. I usually go for the spicy miso, and for meats, the pork belly and beef toro are my absolute favorites. If you've never been, it's basically like an all-you-can-eat, build-your-own ramen situation -- which is already a win. There's a buffet-style area where you pick your noodles and extras, plus a whole section of veggies like bok choy (my personal fave), spinach, cilantro, onions... you name it. There's also a smaller bar with sauces and add-ons like chili oil, jalapeños, and this mystery tan sauce that's sweet and sooo good (I don't know what it is, but I trust it with my life at this point). And don't even get me started on the all-you-can-eat appetizers -- my go-to is the chicken karaage. So good every time. The vibes are super chill, the music is good, and they even have a little bar with drinks like soju, draft beer, and my personal favorite... the party cocktail lol. Overall, 10/10. I love this place and will absolutely keep coming back. + the service is always great. Very attentive.

    Lunch special
    Victoria S.

    This review has been looooooong overdue! Broth has seen me way too many times for me not to have written a review by now. 100/10! I love this place! I even have friends/family wanting to eat here whenever they come to visit. Yes, on occasion, you might have to wait, but I love how they have a live queue on yelp. You can definitely join the waitlist in advance if needed but I don't think I've ever waited more than 30 minutes. As of April 2026, lunch is $20.99 and dinner/weekends is $29.99 Honestly, you cannot beat their lunch special! However, they are missing some good things that the dinner option has. In addition to the cost, some things I noticed is that dinner includes more cuts of meats, quail eggs, crab pieces, and breech mushroom. It doesn't matter the time or day, this place is normally busy but they are very organized and efficient. Servers are constantly checking up on you to put in more orders, refill your pot, and etc. Even the self-serve bar is constantly being restocked, so you're never waiting too long for an item. Love this place! Service and atmosphere is great! Food is amazing! They definitely need a reward program for loyal customers like me hahaha!

    Sauce, broth, and greater view of the beef options (#1 and #2)
    Ashley V.

    AYCE shabu-shabu-- count me in! I have been going to this place since it opened, and it never fails. Their lunch special, on Mon-Fri until 3pm, is $20.99 per person, which is a good deal for AYCE these days. I always opt for the sukiyaki base because it has a great balance of sweet and savory. I have also tried the original house and the spicy miso, but I always fall back to the sukiyaki. For appetizers, I try not to focus on them as much, but I like their gyoza as it has a nice and crisp crunch to it. As for the meats, I prefer the beef options (#1 prime blade meat and #2 beef toro). Between the two, I like the prime blade meat cause it's not as fatty as the other beef option. I like how their self service bar has so many options of seafood, noodles, and vegetables. Also, their sauce options for the self service bar are great too. Most especially their spicy ponzu, asian chili, and goma sauces. Service was great the last time I came, but can be variable dependent on who the server is and how busy it is. Although, I don't recall having a bad experience yet. So that's a plus. I continue to recommend this place to so many of my friends and can't wait to come back soon!

    Both are spicy miso. Super bland, not spicy. Tastes like regular miso. Gyozas were cold.

    Ask the Community - Broth Shabu-Shabu

    How much the dinner?

    $29.99...it's market, but considering the quality of the meat, it's well worth it.

    Are the broths gluten free?

    Every when is lunch price ? Is it everyday or only weekdays?

    Monday to Friday until 3pm excluding holidays. Children lunch special pricing also available

    Is it 20-30 dollars for everything? Like meat included and soups and everything? Obviously drinks would be apart from that but I was just wondering how the pricing worked and what the charges were.

    The pricing is inclusive of all-you-can-eat meat for the soup, soup, veggies, sauce, and appetizers. You order the meats with the server and they have a veggie bar and a sauce bar. Drinks are additional but the price includes everything else.

    How much is it per person for lunch time?

    $20 per person plus any drinks tax tip etc

    How spicy is the spicy miso, say for example compared to Sriracha is it spicier or less?

    It has a nice spiciness but I always add some hot drops to kick it up a notch.

    How can reservations for more 4 pp?

    Make your reservation on Yelp!

    I'm allergic to peanuts - is there anything with peanuts?

    Yeah just avoid the Goma Sauce. It's literally made out of peanuts

    Planning to go around 7:30- 8pm on a Monday. How long is the wait around that time for a large party (12 people)? What time is last call?

    Recommend calling for a reservation for a large party.

    Do they do single pots or only one for everyone?

    Each person gets their own pot... thank goodness!

    What time you open?

    I believe it opens at 11:30 AM

    Does broth take reservation?

    via Yelp yes!

    When are you going to serve octopus again? 😭😭?

    Haven't seen octopus recently... But they did add pineapple squid 🤷‍♀️

    This place is listed today as having outdoor seating. Is it still available? If it is, is it covered or heated? How many people can sit there? / April 8, 2023

    I was literally just there and yes, they have outdoor seating. It's covered with a canopy but I don't know how many people can fit there. It looked like a decent size

    Do you serve salmon?

    No did you not have salmon but they have a variety of other fish like shrimp, mussels, crab, and I want to say maybe tilapia?

    Open on Super Bowl Sunday?

    Yes, they'll be open.

    Are they open today New Year's Eve?

    Probably, always opened lol

    Are pets allowed?

    No. It's very busy and you get up to go to the buffet etc so I small animal would get trampled and panicked, likely. There is a sign on the front like most restaurants that says no pets allowed since it's the law but here especially would not be a… 

    What is the maximum number of people that can be seated at a table?

    I have seen up to 20. But I would call I'm sire they can do more.

    Is there wifi there?

    No. There isn't for guests

Unfortunately, we were placed at a small corner table where several mosquitoes were flying around, and both of us were bitten multiple times during our meal. We originally ordered the butter scallops and the hamachi kama (yellowtail collar), but were told they were sold out, so we had to order something else instead. The food quality was good, and the appetizers came out promptly. However, my chicken teriyaki never arrived while we were eating. After we had finished our meal, I flagged down another waitress to cancel the order and ask for the check. A few minutes later, I noticed my chicken teriyaki had been delivered to the wrong table before it was eventually brought to ours. The biggest issue was the service. Our original waitress never checked on us, asked how everything was, or offered drink refills. I had to flag down another waitress for drink refills, and she was the only one who was attentive. I still left a tip because of the other waitress who helped us, but overall the poor service overshadowed the good food. Sadly, I won't be coming back.
