I've been going to Gom Shabu Shabu for over five years now, and the quality of the food has been consistently excellent from the beginning until now. Honestly, there's nothing more I could ask for. The pricing is very reasonable, and the freshness of the ingredients has always been top-notch. I also really enjoy being able to go to the sauce bar and create my own dipping sauces--it adds a fun and personal touch to the experience. The servers are always friendly and attentive as well. This place has become one of my longtime go-to spots, and I hope they continue serving fresh, high-quality food for many years to come. read more

This was one of the most horrible dining experiences I have ever had. The seafood for their hot pot is apparently sourced from a third party, and it did not seem fresh. After eating there, I felt sick to my stomach and had to take medication. The kitchen also appeared to be unsanitary. To make matters worse, I found a hair in the broth. When I complained to the waitress, she did not even apologize. Instead, she responded in a very dismissive manner, as if simply replacing the broth would solve the problem. Finding a hair in the broth, questionable seafood freshness, and such poor customer service is completely unacceptable. I have never experienced such unsanitary food conditions and such a careless attitude toward a customer's concerns. Absolutely disgusting and unacceptable. I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone. read more

This all-you-can-eat in Centreville is pretty good. I like that everyone gets their own hot pot so you don't have to share, especially for those with food allergies. This place is $40/person for AYCE. I've learned that hot pot is actually cheaper to eat in a restaurant than to buy ingredients in HMart or Lotte. It's certainly true for Gom Shabu Shabu. When they say AYCE, they really keep the ingredients flowing. The vegetables are fresh. And I find the meat to be better quality than the Shabu Shabu meat you can buy in the supermarkets. The service is quick and the staff is friendly. I've never had to wait too long for a table, even though there are always a lot of customers in the restaurant. read more

Loved the experience! Their quality of the food was outstanding and the restaurant is always so clean and nice vibe in there. My favorite is the basic soup & getting bunch of different vegetables and meat! Its all you can eat and there is so many options. I love to make: Ponzu, garlic, otster, sugar and chili sauce. Their service is always great even if its older Korean women in the hall! They are always so friendly. My biggest go to is Lamb, cabbage and fishballs! read more

My group of 4 came for Monday night dinner. The restaurant was pretty quiet and service was quick! The quality of ingredients (produce and meat) was great although I wish there was more of a selection. Soup bases offered and sauce bar was standard. Overall this was a solid shabu shabu experience and I would come back. read more

Haven't been here in years and this place still delivers a quality shabu hot pot experience. They still have their all you can eat menu and I highly recommend this one. The preset hot pot experience is also worth it too. Options still include nicely thin cut meats such as angus beef, brisket, pork, chicken, lamb, and premium beef with my favorite being the brisket, a variety of noodles, and an assortment of vegetables, roots, and seafood that I love in hot pot. I don't think they have changed the recipe for their fixes broth. And as always, once all the food is cooked, that broth just becomes more flavorful. Also, there are different spice level sauces to dip your food in for extra flavor. Service is still attentive and delivering. I can tell the hot pot stations are aging. I could barely see the up and down buttons to control the temperature of our broths. But this establishment is still surviving and I can see why. read more

Gom Shabu Shabu - all you can eat - Korean Near Me - Centreville, Virginia

First time here. It was a clean restauran. We were immediately seated which was good. Selection of hot pit items was good, especially the meats. You have to order items via a check sheet. There was 3 of us so we ordered 3 orders scallops. We got 3 scallops. I miss places where you can grab what you want instead of ordering like this place. Overall it was good place for AYCE hotpot. read more

Food options aren't that big compared to other shabu like urban for an example. You cannot change your broth even though you're paying for all you can eat. I will say, the meat quality looked amazing compared to other places. But their overall menu and veggie and soup options aren't great. I do not think I will be returning anytime soon. Service was alright, kind of felt rushed even with 1.5 hours to go before they closed.... Ambiance is clean and typical Korean place but the service was blah. Veggies were limited..... everything was blah Besides the quality of their meat. That I have to give 4/4. read more

My favorite spot for hot pot. The meat is always delicious and everything is served timely to you. The wait is never bad and the staff are all super sweet. The sauce bar is clean and has a lot of options. As soon as it's chilly outside, this is the first spot I am craving! read more

Good spot and would come back here if I'm in the area craving hotpot, but I wouldn't go out of the way for this. Broth was fine, but didn't stand out. They have the staple ingredients which is perfect to satisfy a hotpot craving, but there isn't a lot of ingredient options compared to other hotpot spots in the DMV area. So if you want something in particular, make sure to check if they serve it first. Price is comparable, standard to the area. Couple of things that was really nice about this spot is that when you order meat, they give you a decent amount to start already. Some hotpot spots give you so little each round and then randomly give you a lot when you only want a little lol. They also have sauce options that they'll make for you. Which I think is great for folks who don't know what sauce to make or don't enjoy making their own sauce. It's in a shopping center, so plenty of parking and service was good. It's a big space inside as well so if you have a big group, they can probably accommodate. They would randomly check in on you to see if you need anything else or more food :) Solid no frills hotpot spot! read more

Went on a whim to gom shabu shabu since it was 15min away from me and it was delicious. Thankfully I had been to a hot pot place recently and realized that they have all the broth spices and meat dipping sauces on a island buffet in the middle, so I didn't miss out on that this time! The waitress came by to take our order almost immediately and everything came out right quick after we would ask for something. She even filled our broth without asking. Would definitely come again read more

Great quality great food nice servers good price with plenty of options clean restaurant bathrooms and chill decor.

This is a review for the centreville location. Located in the same shopping center as H mart but this is near the corner of the mall closer to Braddock road. It is an all you can eat shabu shabu or hot pot. You get a paper and a pencil to mark the meats, veggies, other misc that you want to put in your hot pot. I thought the service here was prompt and they give you a large portion every time you place an order. I like how they have the call buttons to let wait staff know you need something. The sauce bar was clean but had some missing trays. I told the staff there and they refilled the trays. In terms of cleanliness, I think it could be better. I would recommend coming to Gom Shabu for a good quality all you can eat experience. read more

Amazing House Sauce! Servers can be a little hard to flag down so make use of the call button at your table :)

They have a menu, but unless you don't plan on eating much, all you can eat is the way to go. That way you can sample a variety of meats, vegetables, seafood, and more. Great place to eat like no tomorrow with friends/family. Keep the temperature setting in mind as the pot can overflow if you boil it too much. Set the temperature somewhere between 500 and 1200 depending on if you are waiting or actively cooking food and give it one or a few minutes to cook. Service is fairly fast. Ambience is good - it can get crowded during dinner hours though. read more

Currently it's $35 for all you can eat. While this isn't a bad AYCE price, I'd expect to have more options for the dishes. The pickings are on the slimmer side compared to other AYCE hot pot/shabu shabu but enough to still leave you full and satisfied. One thing I haven't seen at other places is the option to order a house sauce. I personally loved the Less Spicy one but the Non-Spicy and Spicy we're also good. I did not like the Medium Spicy and didn't try the Very Spicy. I like how the side dishes come out in small servings so you can figure out what you like. The meat comes out in larger serving sizes which, in my opinion, is phenomenal. Overall I'm glad I tried it but it doesn't make my favourite list. read more

Our favorite spot in Northern Virginia for hot pot! Gom Shabu Shabu never fails to satisfy our soup craving. We always go to all-you-can-eat which is reasonably-priced for that many options. My favorite is the fatty brisket, fish cake, chicken hotdog, beef dumplings, ramen, and lots and lots of veggies. The service is impeccable. Everyone is accommodating. We will keep coming back! read more

Stopped here for our Wednesday night meal after setup. For those of you who are fans of my Yelp - usually setup day at conventions are Thursday. So we were a day early. This is Vog's favorite hot pot place, and I had been here several years ago with our buds. On that trip I was a little in over my head and didn't know really how to negotiate it all and just threw in the towel - but this time I decided to lock in. For first-timers this is an AYCE where you pick meats and vegetables and they bring them to you raw and you cook them in your pot making different foods. You are able to pick the spice level of the sauce they bring you or you can go to the sauce bar and make your own. We had several items - lamb, brisket, beef, corn, zucchini, carrots, lettuce wraps, ramen, rice, etc. we made lettuce wraps with the meats and sauce, ramen dishes with the noodles- and the rice they bring out is already cooked. I almost forgot - you can also order dumplings as part of the AYCE and drop them in your hot pot to cook them - as they come precooked but flash frozen. This trip was way better - they handled us way better, Vog was in his element holding court and making sure we all were dialed in and kept it going to insure a good meal. Overall I really liked this place - and just as a recommendation - when you're cooking - keep your pot at 1000 - when waiting for refills drop it to 500. Good meal - would come back. read more

I've been here 3 times now and it's been fantastic every time. My kids really like coming here as well! All the ingredients are fresh and the service is great. Will definitely be back anytime we're in the mood for hotpot! read more

Always a great experience at this location. Service is much better than Annandale. The food is so good and always hits the spot! Good place for date night but they also accommodate larger crowds with ease too! I recommended using extra bowls/plate to dump your food on so it doesn't overcook and so you don't burn your mouth. Ask for a few papers when you sit and just press the button when you need something from the servers read more

COVID - they have plastic shields up between booths We went for the AYCE option and albeit sortof expensive ($27 per person), i think it's completely worth! The meat (amongst other things) is extremely fresh and high-quality; definitely try with the udon noodles, cabbage, and enoki mushrooms if you're unsure :) The service was extremely fast and efficient; felt very satisfied with my lunch here! read more

Gom Shabu Shabu - Fresh ingredients for the AYCE option! - Korean Near Me - Centreville, Virginia

Haven't been here for many years and much has changed. Everyone gets the same base broth now loaded at their seat, and you choose a flavor which is brought to you and dumped in. We chose tonkatsu and this slightly purple colored clumpy looking bowl of mystery came out. The taste was very artificial and not pleasant. The meat and vegetable quality is decent, better than a couple of the other local spots. Options are limited however, especially at $35 a person. Service is also good though the staff is not proactive with new menus, you have to ask. The broth is important for hot pot though, and this would not be a choice based on that. read more

Relatively quiet place to eat! Wouldn't say it's anything special in particular but has most of the things you'd need and want! Everyone gets their own individual pot, you control the temperature, you can put whatever for your sauce, and you choose all the meats, veggies, and items to put in your pot! The foods aren't super in particular special but the meats are nicely thinly cut, the scallops are good, and the rice cakes are super chewy! Service is also simple and sweet; speaking Korean to the ajummas is always a plus! You have your own medium sized jug to pour out water when needed too. Overall, 6.5/10 recommend! Nothing to brag about but also nothing really to complain about. Simple, quiet, place to enjoy with family and friends or alone as well! read more

Came in for dinner after shopping at Hmart, we were really spread out until people started coming in. Luckily we were done by the time the other family sat next to our table. I guess it's a risk when we eat out but there were other section of the place where they could have sat that family. That was kind of annoying. Because of covid, the sauce bar is closed, they bring you your sauce, the down fall of it is u can't spicy it up the way you want it. The soup/broth, there's only one kind and it tasted like mushroom broth. It wasn't bad, just wish we had options. The selection they have there are not as many compared to other places. Love the korean noodles they offered , that's different compared to other places, but their meatballs gotta go. That thing is flavorless, has the texture of a meatloaf but softer, brings apart when u put it in your pot. Overall it's ok, i would dine again. read more

We were craving hot pot for dinner and quickly realized that there weren't too many options in the area until we came across this gem. I've had hot pot at a few spots throughout NOVA including hot spot, oh my, honey pig, urban hot pot and California Shabu and I think this is right there with them and may even have them beat. First when you walk in, the restaurant is super clean and the staff is very friendly. That makes the experience so much better. This place didn't have as much of a variety when it came to broth options but then again sometimes simple is better because how often do you do with a more "exotic flavor" when the house broth, spicy, or Tom yum are on the menu. The variety of meat and veggies always makes or breaks it for me. This place offers thinly sliced brisket, ribeye, pork belly, and all the seafood you need. They also offer chicken but who eats chicken at an AYCE place. The veggies are very delicious and crisp and are just as much of the star as the meats. You should definitely get the watercress, enoki mushroom, king mushroom, taro, and corn. They even offer seasonal veggies like pumpkin. Finally you cannot forget about the sauce bar. More and more places are offering a recommended sauce combination for those who cannot decide on flavors but you can always make your own (which is what I recommend because you get to pick the perfect balance for your palette). Overall we are super happy we found this place and will be regulars in the future. read more

New favorite AYCE hot pot place. All the different meats that we ordered weren't has frozen together like some other places, which sometimes makes it harder to grab what you want, if you know you know. Loved the variety of fresh ingredients to make your own sauces. Over all everything was super delicious. read more

A simple and quick spot my husband and I like to go if we are craving Hot Pot. The menu is basic and has your typical veggies, carbs, meats and miscellaneous items. Nothing strikes me as unique or different in comparison to other places. I enjoy the broth and the different sauces they have to to complement your spice pallet. It's nice that you can create your own at the sauce station they have in the middle/back of the room. Surprisingly, this place hasn't been crazy busy every time we went, whether it is the weekend or during the week. It's possible that the time you go matters. We usually go around lunch between 12-3, and it's not busy. There are many many open tables. Price-wise... it's the usual. Not dirt cheap nor overly expensive. And their customer service is about average. So if you want something quick and easy, check this place out. However there are other Hot Pot places I could probably recommend. read more

I'd rate this place 3.5/5. It wasn't bad but it wasn't anything mind blowing either. When I first received the broth I was initially shook because it was purple..? I have never seen that before but I also didn't bother to look into what the broth was made out of. Pros: - spacious seating - individual pots - decent sauce bar - good quality beef for AYCE - decent price for AYCE (23.99 i think) - fast service Cons: - only 1 type of broth, which didn't taste like anything imo so I dumped all of my sauce into it - pretty weak selection of non meat items - the spoons smelled like bleach - not a fan of the filling out a paper method of ordering the items (I prefer buffet style or conveyer belt where we actually grab our own food) - server forgot to bring out some of the items we ordered I felt like the pros and cons weighed each other out, which is why I ended up giving it a 3 stars. I'd definitely say it's still worth checking out, but I've also had better hot pot before. read more

Gom Shabu Shabu is a good place for hot pot. There is plenty of parking in the adjacent lot. The sauce bar here is great, similar to some of the other hot pot places in Northern Virginia. I would recommend coming to this restaurant on the earlier side because it may get very busy later in the evening. Standouts included the fish balls and the scallops. The service was good too. read more

Guess we got lucky as we got sat right away. If we had arrived any later, we probably would've waited longer as it seemed like a never ending crowd started trickling in for dinner. Place was clean and the service was nice and friendly. The food, I suppose for the price and the amount was reasonably priced. We didn't try the AYCE as we want to make sure we didn't waste anything so we only ordered ala carte. The house broth was ok and only got to try the medium spicy House sauce, which was needed because otherwise food was ok and more on the bland side. Might consider trying it again sometime. read more

AYCE EAT-ERTAINMENT! What's more fun than eating? Interactive eating. I've only been here twice but found the food and service to both be good. During peak hours, you might have to flag down a server, but that's what the "call button" is for. This is one of those places people describe as, "everyone has their own way of eating." There really is no wrong way. If you struggle with chopsticks, grab a scooper or mini tongs by the sauce area. Some people plunge everything into their boiling pot at once and slowly eat, while others do a little at a time. You can make your own sauce/ try the viral tiktok recipe, but their house made sauces are good. I prefer their sauce (mostly because I made the tiktok version incorrectly and it turned out to be cilantro salad oops). Their house sauce comes with varying heat levels (1-5) and for someone who can't handle anything spicy, level 4 isn't spicy. It was almost $40 per person (including 20% tip), which is pretty steep ($30.99 before tax/tip per AYCE person), but I will be back! read more

Love it here great food good service always leave here satisfied. Definitely a great place to eat.

Shabu Shabu or Hot Pot as it is also known...so many to choose from these days and Gom has been here for years and I've been told it is really good but we haven't been. Finally with the kids going to Fright Night nearby we have our chance. Prices seem to have gone up to $28 for AYCE but we had a light lunch so time to chow down! Ordering is easy enough with a ticket listing all items - select your broth base, proteins, veggies, seafood, dumplings, fish balls, and noodles. Everything is super fresh and top notch...the ribeye and angus beef are of good quality. The seafood is on the smaller side so you may need to order more. They give you a choice of spicyness on the dipping sauce and best of all the waitress does a great job of mixing the various dip ingredients...very pleased with their concoction. Must say Gom Shabu Shabu is one of the better hot pot/shabu shabu joints in the area and we've been to Hot Spot, California Shabu, kPot and others. Will definitely be back when we are in the mood for Hot pot! read more

Probably one of the best hot pot spots (try to say that 3x fast) that I've been to! One of my best friends recommended this place and I loved the broth that was used! It was so flavorful! Gom is Korean-styled hot pot so it makes sense why it's different from some of the other popular places around the DMV. If you've been to a hot pot place before, Gom is fairly similar in how you pick what you want to order on a sheet of paper and they have a sauce bar. You can have your server create a concoction for you based on your spice level or feel free to go experiment and make your own! I can't wait to go back! read more

So good!! Went with friends after talking about it for so long. I like that the pots are individual and they bring you the mix in for your broth choice. They were out of a few things we ordered and didn't tell us so that stunk but what we did get was super fresh and tasty read more

WHOA!! Needed a spot to nosh prior to SPA World adventure and was so impressed. Place was clean, they were helpful in explaining how it works, even though we were clearly the ONLY newbies there... super organized , VERY fresh and for us was flavorful- I enjoyed the dipping sauce and felt like I got a lot of seafood for $17 lunch special. Yes there are other "cheaper" places with more bells and whistles- but this was a GREAT spot next to SPA World and felt really solid... We'll be back ! read more

Worth it? Yes Repeat? Always for Hot Pot cravings I've probably come here too many times to count. It's a Korean style Hot Pot and a solid choice as making homemade hot pot just isn't worth the cost. Come here, eat until your pant buttons pop and don't forget to make the end meal "porridge" Ask for the egg, rice and sesame oil. You simmer down the broth or take out most of the liquid. Once you do that, add in the rice, egg on low heat and keep stirring. Add in some of the leftover greens and you got yourself a nice porridge to end the night ! read more
