A new hot pot place has opened up in New Haven!…read more As a native Californian, I am truly blessed with good Chinese food and unfortunately, this place is not up to par... and not even good for CT. The meat was frozen and defrosted, the broths tasted like water, and it was pretty expensive for the quality you get. The broths looked very flavorful, but it truly tasted like water... No amount of sauce was able to save it. You also can't even make your own sauce, they come to your table with a sauce cart and make it for you... The service was meh as well. Overall very disappointing.

They gave my group a discount for ordering 2 platters of meat and got 1 free veggie platter. Not sure if this is their soft opening deal. The mushroom soup and beef soup were a bit bland. The meat platter was plated nicely but they definitely used frozen meat. I would say a bit pricey... Overall, not bad. Soup taste healthy which I don't mind. Definitely on the pricey end but there's not many hotpot places in New Haven so happy they opened!

This was my second experience recently at a Hot Pot, but it felt incredibly different. This was somewhere that feels more intimate and private, it's honestly a quiet place. Your server will hand you a paper to mark down the broths, meats, veggies, appetizers and main dishes to order. You have the option to choose "All You Can Eat" for $31.99 or choose individually. Note *If someone orders the "All You Can Eat," everyone at the table has to as well. Please do be mindful that this is a 2 hr limit (to order) if you decide to choose this. I ordered the Beef Brisket Radish, and it was incredibly delicious. My friend had ordered the Oxtail w. Wolfberry, and that one was tasty too! Between meats, we had ordered sliced beef, swai fish, & shrimp balls. Now with veggies, the enoki, fresh corn, bok choy, n bean sprouts were great. Finally, for main dishes I had ordered some vermicelli, rice, an egg, and rice cake. Anytime you are interested in something additional, you can press the call button to the side. You can walk to the back to get sauces (mix to make your own concoction) to dip your meats or veggies in. I'd recommend to add a bit of sugar to your sauce. The whole experience was great, our waitress was incredibly kind and gave me some pointers to the stove. It functions through a button feature on a remote to the side of the stove. I would most definitely come to eat again sometime in the future!

If you decide to not get any meat and just get the broth, it's even MORE bang for your buck. The service is great as well. You just pay for the broth and meat (if you decide to get some), and then you're free to get anything you want from the buffet, as much as you want. The veggies are delicious, all the different meats are amazing, and all the little things you can add to your broth just make the whole experience so enjoyable! To top it off, as you leave, you're allowed to help yourself to some free frozen yogurt. This place truly covers all the bases you could think of. I would recommend ShabuRo to literally everyone.

We don't know their names, but their familiar faces always greet us so kindly when we walk in. It feels like they've even watched our kids grow in the last 6 years we've been going.

The menu is online, viewable by scanning the QR code in your booth, and at the end then you pay at the cashier not through the website. We each ordered the mini hotpot with two broths and got a table full of meats and veggies and even ordered a second round of meat (in hindsight, that was too much and we weren't able to finish it all). The sauce bar was fully stocked, and the ingredients were fresh. The bowls and spoons were a bit hard to find though and I had to ask for a staff member for help. The fruit bar was a bit empty, but there was enough for a dessert. The wait staff was very friendly, though they kept forgetting to refill our water, and we kept asking them about it. Overall, a great experience!

My fave things to dip are the waffle pieces, strawberries and cream puffs. The atmosphere is kinda dark but intimate and they have little private booths.

If it's your first time they take their time explaining each part of the menu and don't rush you on your choices. I think it's a cute, fun experience to enjoy with a loved one, partner or a group of friends!

For some people who may not know this is a "Japanese" BBQ & Shabu Shabu. For some of you that may not know what Shabu Shabu. Basically, you get to cook variety of meats and vegetables in a pot of broth, and you can create your own dipping sauce for additional flavors. First off... I'm sorry I don't really see any "Japanese" influences in their selection of foods. Definitely more so on their Korean, Chinese more so. But that's just my opinion. These days BBQ & Hot Pot is the new rave. It's a thriving all you can eat kind of business. Only difference is who has better selections? If I say Commack vs Flushing. Flushing wins hands down all the time. BUT! For where they are no real competitors, I'd say they have a fair selection of choices. Service was spectacular, food was fresh, sauces were your typical selections depending on how you like it and free little ice creams at the end of it all! Overall, it's enjoyable if you like to cook with friends. Definitely a group hangout kind of spot. I would suggest coming a little earlier to beat the rush!
