PARKING: decent parking, it's around other places so it is in a lot but if it is a busy time it would be pretty hard to try and get a space. PLACE: fairly big, but not too big, would have to combine a few chairs and tables to accommodate to bigger parties, the sauces and everything are already on the table, so are the dishes as well. FOOD: We got the ultra, Tom Yum Tonkotsu & Shiro Miso Soymilk - Tom Yum tasted really good and it paired well with the meat, the Shiro Miso just tasted more like miso soup than actual soy milk mixed in. American Wagyu & Black Angus Beef Toro - I feel like the American Wagyu was a little too fatty for my liking, or it could be the other way around lol, I kind of don't remember which one was which but one had amazing marbling that melted in your mouth. We also got lychee beer, which was super good, didn't even taste like beer. We had like 3 glasses which is funny because we aren't drinkers but it was so delicious. I recommend any of their fruity beers. Edamame - don't really recommend, comes cold and some pieces were not really good.

I've been to this location a few times and it's usually a pretty pleasant time but recently the…read moreservice and broth quality has taken a bit of a turn. We came in with a party of six for dinner on a Monday evening when the restaurant was relatively quiet, with only a few other tables occupied. We asked if it would be possible to combine tables so our group could order multiple broths and enjoy the meal together because sharing one pot for a party of 6 gets a little crowded, but the request was denied despite there appearing to be plenty of available space. As the meal progressed, our broth became extremely cloudy and thick from cooking. We politely asked if we could receive a fresh pot of the same broth--not a different broth, just a new pot so we could continue enjoying our meal. Unfortunately, this request was also denied. The broth flavoring was also underwhelming and started to taste the same after our first refill. What made the experience disappointing was the lack of flexibility and willingness to accommodate reasonable requests, especially during a slow service period. Customer service and hospitality are an important part of the dining experience, and we left feeling that our concerns were dismissed rather than addressed.

We went straight for the Signature Herbal Chicken Broth: Five-Finger Fig Root & Fig and honestly, that thing is dangerous... in a good way. Super gentle herbal aroma, a little natural sweetness from the figs, and they actually tell you to sip a cup first before using it for hot pot - do it. It's light and soothing but still flavorful, such a nice break from the usual spicy broth that wrecks your stomach. Beef and other basics were solid, clean, easy to cook, and everything just tasted better in that broth. Staff was chill and efficient, helped adjust the heat, refilled broth without making a big deal, then let us linger and talk. Cozy, easy place to hang out and slowly eat your way through the table :)

The one thing I dislike here is the inaccurate waitlist time; expect to be waiting much longer than estimated, as we've been here over 10 times and not once the waiting list estimated time was accurate. The most recent time we went, we waited over an hour past the expected seating time. I highly recommend putting yourself on the waitlist well before you arrive, especially if going during the weekend. Aside from that, the food and service is excellent and worth the wait! We haven't found anywhere else that makes broth as flavorful as here. We always get the house special broth - it's seriously so good. They recently updated to a tablet ordering system for the AYCE, which makes it easier to place orders - but occasionally orders get missed or forgotten. We found that if it's been over 10 mins, it's usually a good idea to check in with the server - they usually bring it out right away. Service is always friendly. Their sauce bar is unparalleled - assorted sides, fruits, sauces, ice jelly station, ice cream machine, and cotton candy machine! They have a lot of variety with their hotpot ingredients (meats, noodles, veggies, seafood) and everything is good quality.

I've been on a…read morehot pot kick recently, and I would say Shabu Time is one of the top places for me to go to for a hearty meal, good drinks, and good vibes. - I tried the Tonkotsu non spicy, Miso spicy broth and they are not too salty at all! My taste buds loved it! What's really great is that if you mix the broths together.. you have your own unique broth! Perfection! - The veggies and rice/ noodles come with the meat and broth that you order! Veggies come with cabbage, spinach, squash, and carrots, and tofu. Their menu has additional add ons! I typically go for the fish balls, tofu, and quail eggs! I didn't think it would be a large amount but it sure was! -THE MEAT!! OH! you can tell the quality of this meat is up there! it's not underwhelming thin- in fact you taste that meaty fatty flavor! I go for the Toro belly and the kobe beef! I have yet to come back and try other meats tho. And i definitely will be back ;) - Drink vibes? oooh i love me some Yuzu! The server even mentioned a Yuzumosa which I will definitely come back again for - The service was really friendly and attended to us throughout our lunch/ dinner. Customer service is A1! Overall, despite this place not being AYCE- this will fill you up! My partner and coworker got 2 large size meat and it rounded to a total of $85. Not too shabby, or I should say- "It's Shabu Time!"

We ordered a lot to share and honestly enjoyed everything we got. Some favorites included the lamb and chicken skewers which were really tender and flavorful. The lobster tail was favorite among our whole table. I also really liked the potato skewers because the seasoning had a really good spicy kick. The cabbage was another favorite of mine. It was crunchy and a little spicy, which I really liked. We also got the fried rice and it was really good with everything else. I would definitely come back to Friendship BBQ. There were still so many things I wanted to try!

It feels smaller compared to other places, but well designed so as not to feel too cramped. I also like that the stove controls are more modern.

They have a pretty good selection of meat The pork and beef belly were both good and fresh. There are 5 choices of soup. Their house broth was good, almost like a light tonkotsu broth.

It's a quaint little restaurant so keep in mind there's mostly only tables for 2 or 4. Our table of 2 were sat on a high top table so it may not be as suitable for small children. The plaza does get busy so leave time for parking if you're in a rush!

What really ruined the experience was the cost! They charged for every single aspect of the hotpot--broth, meat, veggies, rice, and even the dipping sauces.
