This was my second time dining here but this is my first review. First time here was with out-of-town friends and we only had cocktails and didn't dine. We talked about returning to dine but time passed and my guests were no longer in the US. Last week we returned for the first time and we had a fantastic meal. My favorite dish was the wagyu beef fried rice. It was fantastic, perfectly prepared and wonderfully seasoned. Without a doubt a complete and filling meal. We also shared the garlic seafood noodles, another fantastic dish with an abundant portion seafood. The shrimp was very flavorful and made the dish very special. Parking is easy in their private lot. I really appreciated their service, the cleanliness of the restaurant and the reasonable prices. They definitely have my recommendation. read more

We comeback again today. And was disappointed at the new upgrade. The servers are still attentive and I appreciate the extra meat. The extra charge on noodles and udon was a bit unnecessary but ok. What I notice was the change in food quality, broth was not flavorful, both tomyum and the regular sukiyaki. Sauce was very loose. Table set up also missing utensil. Menu was dirty which is surprising. For the past 3 years I always think this place is the best one in term of quality and cleanliness. On top of that the menu is AI and super confusing. It's like I have to turn 5 pages to get to where I want to look at. Lowkey a disappointment of whoever taking care of this restaurant. Definitely a loss in credibility and class. Wonder if I would comeback read more

I've been here about 9x now. This was definitely one of the better places in the southbay. HOWEVER, I will NEVER return again!!!! Upon arriving I felt like I was negotiated whether or not my reservation could be honored. Stood there for 10 min being asked if we would be able to leave by a certain time. We said yes, no problem, we came to eat and go not drink and hang out. The place was nearly empty at our time of arrival. Once the remainder of my party arrived, 3 adults and 5yr old, we were told next time to add her to the reservation. Like she was a paying adult ready to boil and cook her own food Apparently it was a big deal. Mind you, this isn't a full fledged all you can eat establishment. We sat, reviewed the new TERRIBLE menu options. No more "let us chose for you", prefix meals. Thats now reserved for lunch and weekends now. Not directed on what was the mist similar to that. Put our orders in. Waited a while. Broth came drinks came then some appetizers. Finally after about 20 min veggies and meats started to arrive. Started cooking our soups. Had to waive down the servers several times for napkins, refills, and our rice came 30 min later after we reminded them it didnt come out yet. It took way too much time and effort to get their attention. Midway through our meal, a worker came to the table with HOT WATER to add to our broth. HO5 WATER!!?? Why would I want to dilute my soup with WATER??? We collectively decided our meals were ruined and wanted to just pay the check and go. Even THAT took too long. We were a party of 5 adults and a child who drank water. We were charged an automatically included gratuity for the "big party" of $79. For the awful services, diluted food and added small child!!!! We were never given this info before hand and this is when we understood why they were adamant about us counting her as a 6th person. I'm so angry. I do not recommend this place, especially not for the awful service, diluted food and forceful added tax. read more

We initially came to King Plus Shabu Shabu for the $2 oyster happy hour, but ended up having such a great experience exploring the izakaya menu that we'll definitely be back. The oysters were extremely fresh, and we tried them both raw and freshly fried. We were told shipments from Japan typically arrive Wednesday or Thursday. We also had the scallops, shrimp, and wagyu beef skewers, but the surprise standout was the seared mackerel with ponzu and lemon sauce. Incredible. It was easily one of our favorite dishes of the night. The sake selection was another highlight. We got a preview of Moonbloom, which they're planning to add to the menu soon. It was clean, floral, smooth, and paired beautifully with the food. What really elevated the experience, though, was the hospitality. Owners Michelle, Ben, and David were all there and couldn't have been friendlier. You can tell they genuinely care about the food, the restaurant, and making sure everyone has a great time. It gave the whole place such good energy. We came for $2 oysters and left already talking about coming back. Shabu shabu next time! read more

We had such a great experience at king plus Shabu Shabu ! We were served by a nice sweet girl server I wish I got her name but she has blonde hair. She was so nice and explained the whole experience to us and told us recommendations and we ended up with the beef experience ! It was really good ! It came with a bowl of veggies and we both got udon. My bf got the tom yum flavor and I got the Sichuan flavor! I love the broth with the meal and the ponzu sauce and sesame sauce it came with! Each bowl came with veggies such as Napa cabbage, spinach, mushrooms, pumpkin, broccoli, tofu and noodles. She kept checking on us to make sure we were doing ok and refilling our drinks and everything tasted so good! I loved the whole experience the meat was fresh they cut it right in front of us too ! read more

Had a solid first experience here a few weeks ago when we decided on a whim to go and celebrate my brother's birthday. At first, I had my doubts as coming in as we had a reservation for 5 but took us awhile to get seated even though the restaurant was quite empty. But then things warmed up;I appreciated that the staff seemed to really collaborate and sure we had to ask for things multiple times but requests were always fulfilled with a smile. Shout out to Eric who helped amplify the experience as we moved through our dinner. He brought a joy to our table, and kept us in positive spirits. Love the "Let Us Choose For You" option which allows you to experience 3 meats (ribeye, chuck, beef belly) as well as appetizer and a drink. A great deal and quality of food. Spacious, comfortable establishment, and easy parking. I'll definitely be back. read more

What an amazing experience here from beginning to end! Loved the staff here. David and everyone else were amazing and really made it feel like home. There is a nice outdoor patio space to enjoy a breezy evening and cocktails, and there is plenty of seating inside for Shabu Shabu as well. They have happy hour specials and an impressive selection of cocktails! They also have a wide variety of sake and you can even choose a sake flight (highly recommended). We did get some yakitori to enjoy as an appetizer before getting to the main course. We did course A and course B because it was hard to choose between seafood or meat! Everything was so fresh and flavorful. Nothing felt rushed and the flavors were all great! This is a fun spot for a date night or a large family gathering. I could not recommend them enough!!! Give it a try, you won't regret it!! read more

First time going there and enjoyed it. Fresh ingredient including vegetables and the meat. We had the udon noodles with Chuck roll.

A great quality shabu spot in an area of Torrance that doesn't have too many shabu options. Love that parking is a plentiful and free. You can't miss it, just look for the giant inflatable duck. They have a Happy Hour menu with $2 oysters, yakitori and apps 4-6:30pm on weekdays and 3-6:30pm on weekends. I enjoyed the yakitori skewers, spicy miso broth, tonkotsu broth and the Course A combo. read more

Started the evening with happy hour on the patio, which was the perfect way to ease into dinner. We ordered the Shrimp Skewers, Wagyu Ribeye Yakitori, Pork Belly Yakitori, spicy edamame, the Yuzu Shochu Highball, and the Matcha Green Dragon. Everything was flavorful and paired perfectly with the drinks. The pork belly was rich and tender, while the Wagyu yakitori had a great smoky char from the grill. After happy hour, we moved inside for the shabu shabu experience. We ordered Course A with the Tonkotsu soup base, which included ribeye, chuck roll, and beef belly. We also ordered Course B with the spicy miso soup base featuring jumbo shrimp, Japanese scallops, Atlantic salmon, and fish balls. The broths were , rich, and packed with flavor, especially the spicy miso with its nice kick. The quality of the meats and seafood really stood out, and everything tasted fresh. We also tried the Japanese A5 Miyazaki beef, which completely melted in our mouths and was easily one of the highlights of the night. To finish the experience, we sampled a few premium sake selections from their massive sake menu, and each one paired beautifully with the meal. The staff were super attentive and friendly throughout the entire experience. The ambiance and overall environment truly felt like being transported to Japan, making the whole dining experience even more memorable. read more

Loved the vibe of this place! It feels modern, clean and upscale yet also relaxed, warm and inviting. Easy parking in their own lot Great shabu shabu, Japanese bbq, and other specials! - the broth choices are delicious and the meats and veggies are high quality! My favorite broth is the sukiyaki which is a little sweeter and the Tonkatsu which was creamy. The Sea kelp is great for those who need a lighter broth. We got Set A and B for the beef and seafood options. The combo comes with protein, a bowl of veggies, noodles or rice, a listed appetizer and a drink. All was so satisfying. We also tried some Wagyu and it melts in your mouth! We also loved their sake menu which had so many options to start learning about it. The grilled Saba mackerel fish was also AMAZING and my favorite bite. Service - amazing, they checked in often and brought our food quickly, out servers and management were also so kind and helpful! Tip: check out their special events, lunch and happy hour deals! Thanks to Wing, Brian and Paloma who were so wonderful and added to the great experience! read more

Honestly feel like I've been going through a bit of a divide in terms of AYCE shabu shabu. Either it's all you can eat at a reasonable price and you exchange quality for quantity/value, or you pay a lot extra for quality. King Plus Shabu Shabu appears to be a rare place that strikes the right balance, get the basic AYCE menu for regular occasions (and a balance tiled more towards affordability), get the premium menu that includes ribeye and brisket for when quality is on your mind (and stomach). They are plenty large enough inside, have ample parking, and the additional portions of noodles/veggies are quite generous as well. We love going here, although they're a bit out of the way for us-- always fun to watch us all roll in from directions all across the map because some of us love the place that much. Last tidbit: regrettably have not come here for the oyster special. read more

Drove all the way from East LA to give this place a chance since their Best AYCE in South Bay ad caught our attention. Price was fair at 49/head for the offer in the image so we went. Guess what, we got there, sat down, and the menu they gave us was nothing like the ad. So we asked about the ad and they said it was an error, a mistake. Talk about false advertising, bait and switch, they wanted 89/head for the menu in the ad. That was extremely deceptive, in the end they said they could honor it, but we left instead for momo paradise and had an amazing AYCE for 35/head instead. Momo paradise was the best AYCE in the area, high quality meat, soda bar, ice cream... perfection. Responding to the owner comment below, please post your current menu for 49. I know the current 49 menu I saw in the restaurant that day only included beef belly, pork belly, chicken... not salmon, not shrimp, not scallop, not ribeye, not takoyaki, not calamari, pretty much nothing on that ad. Please explain how that ad matches the basic menu and post a new image of the basic menu. read more

Had a reservation, arrived to a restaurant with only 3 parties, we waited about 10 minutes before being seated. Party of 4 on small table that quickly be came crowded with all the bowls and plates. We started with calamari, spring rolls and cucumber salad, then 4 orders of All you can eat. Service was ok, food was ok, but we expected a lot more based on the reviews. Price was $40 per person for AYCE which is reasonable, but just not something that we would do again anytime soon as it was just ok. read more

Modern spot with great shabu-shabu! I went for a sake-tasting event and everything exceeded expectations! The food quality was excellent, and you can actually see them slicing the meat at the cutting station in the middle of the restaurant, which was really cool. I tried both the sukiyaki and the bone broth, both were rich and flavorful. The appetizers and sake pairings were spot on and really elevated the meal. The space is clean, the staff are super friendly, and there's plenty of parking since it's in a plaza. I'll definitely be back for that wagyu!!! It was so tender it melted in my mouth!! read more

We went back to one of our favorite shabu shabu spots over the weekend, and as always, it didn't disappoint! We love coming here because the place is super nice, clean, and comfortable. One of the things I appreciate most is that they allow our fur baby, Louie, to join us -- that's a big plus and one of the main reasons this spot is one of our favorites. It's never too crowded, which I love because I prefer a calm, relaxed dining atmosphere. The food is always consistently great -- the broth is flavorful, and the beef is always fresh and sliced perfectly. Another bonus is that there's a car wash nearby, so it's perfect to get your car cleaned while enjoying a delicious hot pot meal. Highly recommend this place for good food, good vibes, and pet-friendly dining! read more

King Plus Shabu Shabu is so much more than just a hot pot restaurant. We started our evening on the outdoor patio with their bar menu, and it was the perfect way to kick off the meal. The house poke salad was fresh and flavorful, the pan-fried pork gyoza had a crispy exterior with a juicy filling, and the grilled jumbo scallop and shrimp skewers were cooked perfectly. The Wagyu ribeye yakitori was incredibly tender and full of smoky flavor. We also enjoyed the Lychee Mocktail and the 5 Sake Flight, which was a fun way to sample different styles of Japanese sake. After that, we headed inside for the hot pot experience. We tried four broths--Kombu, Tonkotsu, Spicy Miso, and Sukiyaki--and each one brought something different to the table. My favorite was the rich Tonkotsu, while the Kombu was perfect for letting the quality of the ingredients shine. For the meats, we ordered the Royal Beef Experience with ribeye, chuck roll, and beef belly, along with the Royal Seafood Set featuring shrimp, Atlantic salmon, fresh scallops, fish balls, and the chef's curated seafood selection. Everything was fresh and high quality. The standout of the night was the Japanese A5 Miyazaki Wagyu. The marbling was incredible, and after just a few seconds in the broth, it practically melted in my mouth. It was easily one of the best Wagyu experiences I've had. To finish the meal, we shared the matcha cheesecake and matcha ice cream, which were the perfect ending. The service was friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable, and the atmosphere was welcoming from start to finish. I also love that they offer both an outdoor patio with a full bar menu and a premium hot pot experience inside, making it a great spot whether you're looking for drinks and appetizers or a full dinner. I'll definitely be coming back and highly recommend King Plus Shabu Shabu if you're looking for quality Japanese food and premium hot pot in the South Bay. read more

Full transparency we only selected this please because of the Resy credit thing but I was pretty impressed. The place was really clean and modern. I love the single serve pots which felt clean. The selection of veggies and noodles from the selection was great. Only one bad thing was we had to wait a while for the meat to be cut. Only because there was one guy cutting the meat and honestly I kinda felt bad. However once we got the meat there was a lot and the quality was great! I would definitely come again! Really enjoyed the food and vibe overall. Healthy, clean food with great vibes, what's not to love! read more

Came to King Plus Shabu Shabu and left completely satisfied. The AYCE menu has a great variety -- thin sliced beef, pork belly, seafood, veggies, noodles, and so many add ons. The meat quality really stood out, and the broth options had so much flavor. Service was quick and friendly, and they were great about explaining how everything works. The restaurant itself is spacious and clean with a lively but comfortable atmosphere. If you're craving hot pot in the South Bay area, this is a spot worth checking out. Great value for what you get. read more

My wife and I had a great time at this Yakitori and Sake cocktail event. The quality of food and service was outstanding. The vibe was great, the people who run this Restaurant really made an effort to ensure that everyone was having a good time. We found this advertised on social media and then realized they have so many good deals throughout the week from all-you-can-eat to Oyster weekends. We're definitely gonna come back and try this Sunday Oyster happy hour. I'd recommend anyone locally to try it. read more

I love the set menu options here, King Plus Shabu Shabu has it listed as courses. My friend and I tried Course A and B for a mixture of beef and seafood. Each course came with broth, veggies, rice or noodles, a choice of one of the listed starters and soft drink. The sukiyaki and tonkatsu soup base was really good, really flavorful! The interior is well light, spacious and clean! The meat is cut fresh in the middle of the restaurant which is nice to see. My friend and I both enjoyed the meal! read more

Fantastic shabu shabu. We used to live in Redondo Beach and frequented this restaurant when they first opened. 11 years later or so and it's still phenomenal. Went on a Sunday for 5 pm early shabu dinner and I ordered seafood, scallops and shrimp without fish balls, gluten free / rice noodles, and it was all very yummy. My hubby ordered seafood shabu and enjoyed it all. Sister in law enjoyed seafood and only had shrimp. We celebrated our belated birthdays. There was also another family celebrating their little daughter's birthday. I noticed there were large tables which mean it is inviting for large groups. read more

This place is a gem. The moment we walked in, we were greeted with warmth, not just from the simmering broth but from the owner and staff, who are incredibly attentive without hovering. The kind of service that makes you feel genuinely taken care of. We sat at the high table (highly recommend!), and it was such a cool experience watching them slice the wagyu right in front of us. And that beef. Melt. In. Your. Mouth. It paired so perfectly with the tonkotsu broth and thick, chewy udon noodles. it was next-level comforting and flavorful. The space itself is super clean with plenty of seating, which makes it perfect whether you're coming solo, with a date, or in a group. For a group, get the seafood sampler to share. The quality was so fresh, and it's the perfect appetizer to kick off the meal. Definitely a crowd-pleaser. And don't sleep on the sake menu! It's one of the most thoughtfully designed ones I've seen: complete with a dryness/sweetness legend that actually makes choosing fun and stress-free. Everything was top shelf and complemented the meal beautifully. Can't wait to come back. read more

1. Shabu Shabu: Great quality meat -- they cut the meat with a machine right in front of you by the bar section. Great service as well. The staff is quick to respond and get what you need even though they are overwhelmed and super busy. Nice and clean environment. Highly recommend trying the sake flight if you're interested in tasting different kinds of sake. Two that stood out to me were the plum green tea sake and the yuzu one -- so good. They also serve ice cream at the end with the combo. I thought they would simply serve a scoop, but it actually comes with cream and syrup -- the whole deal. 2. Sake & Yakitori Night: They also host a Sake and Yakitori night as an event. It's a ticketed event, so check out their posters. About the event: you get 7 courses of yakitori and try different sake pairings with each. The flavors are awesome, and there is a sake expert explaining every bottle and the story behind it. You get to try each type for a few shots, or more if you'd like to drink. They are not stingy about it -- very welcoming hospitality. Have fun and get drunk! read more

I've been coming here for close to a decade, through different owners and different versions of the place. There was a stretch after the main ownership changed where I came back once and thought, absolutely not. It had fallen off hard. Recently I gave it another shot and it feels restored. The food is solid again and the meat is the reason to come. Whoever was cutting the meat on my last visit deserves credit because that part felt dialed in. Good quality, good cuts and the kind of meal that reminded me why I used to come here in the first place. Service was friendly, but a little slow and not always attentive. We had to keep asking for small things like napkins instead of someone noticing the table needed them. Not a disaster, just something that could be tighter. The room is still odd. There's a bar nobody seems to sit at, an awkward waiting area and an entrance setup that makes no sense when the door everyone naturally wants to use is blocked. The layout feels like it was designed by committee and then abandoned halfway through. But the food works. The meat is good, the experience is back on track and I'll keep coming back. read more

Absolutely FANTASTIC! The restaurant doesn't show well in some of the pictures on Yelp to me, but do know, it's an excellent and wonderful setting indeed! The meat was super fresh, amazing, and delicious. The restaurant was spotless clean, the staff exceptionally friendly. I think the owner was actually slicing some of the meats, and he was incredibly accommodating, engaging and attentive. It seems more and more these days that places don't care whether you give them business or not, but he was genuine in greeting, and valuing, all the diners that came in. And it was a ton of really good food, and we were stuffed! Highly recommended!!! read more

King Plus Shabu Shabu - Shabu Shabu: ribeye steak, highly marbled wagyu-styled beef, pork. Ramen noodles, hot sake, two different cooking broths. Bounty! - Hot Pot Near Me - Redondo Beach, California

A lovely shabu shabu place in a quiet shopping mall. I tried a set menu here which sometimes they call it omakase but it's basically set menu. I sat at the bar so it feels somewhat like course by course meal. The portion is definitely worth it for the price. Each set has seafood, meat and veggies, which can be combined together. A wonderful thing is that they have A5 wagyu, but I don't think it's the highest grade of A5 since I've seen finer marbling of A5 in a more expensive restaurant, but for the price and the texture, this is a good one. They will slice each piece before serving, making it very fresh cut. Sake flight is also worth a try! read more

This is our favorite Shabu restaurant, we highly recommend it! We always eat here when we're in the south bay

This place was great. We were literally the only customers there which made it even better because we didn't have to wait for anything. Food came out very quickly and our pots heated up quickly. The food was yummy, definitely hit the spot for the cold weather. The veggies are all preset, so you don't really get to choose, but after we wanted more, we were able to choose which veggies we wanted so that was nice. It sucks though that we wasted some of the other veggies that we didn't want. Inside was nice, and it was clean. Bathrooms too were clean. Would come here again. read more

We came in on a Tuesday night with a reservation of 4 at 7:00 pm, they unfortunately weren't ready for us and took about 25 minutes to get our table. It wasn't anyone's fault as it looked like they only had 2 people working the tables. The restaurant is quite big and clean! As we finally got our table, we opted for the AYCE option as we were celebrating a birthday. It is definitely on the higher end for pricing that i've paid for AYCE shabu. Our orders and drinks were placed, however, we didn't start enjoying anything until about 8:15. The quality of meats was definitely on the higher side of quality, we enjoyed everything on the premium AYCE menu! I feel if they had additional staffing our visit would have been more pleasurable. We observed other tables they were attentive towards. It was even difficult getting a drink refill. Nonetheless, we still enjoyed the food, the spicy miso would have to be my favorite base. read more

The dining experience felt fun and interactive -- you cook your own items in a steaming individual pot, which adds that little bit of "event" to the meal. The sukiyaki broth stood out for me: rich depth, subtle sweetness, and the pork bone added a full-bodied flavor that lingered pleasantly. The beef slices melted in your mouth, and the fish balls added a playful texture. For our son, seeing the shrimp pop into the pot and then pulling out perfectly cooked pieces was pure joy. My husband appreciated the crisp vegetables and fresh seafood, which balanced out the richness of the broths. Service was friendly and attentive. The setting is modern yet cozy, making it perfect for families or groups. read more

Pretty good shabu shabu place in the plaza with South Play. Place is pretty big and seems very clean. Each person gets their own bowl and I love their sukiyaki broth. They offer AYCE M-R and lunch times on weekend. Their set menu includes a lot - appetizer, veggies, noodles, rice and a fountain drink. The meat quality is usually very good and I love how their fish balls have fish eggs in them. I took a star off because one of the scallops they gave me today was all mangled up. Besides that, a very solid spot. read more
