It was amazing! I loved it all, the ribeye was my favorite, and everything went smooth. Our waitress was so nice! And the place was really peaceful too! I would give it 10 stars if possible. read more

Wow this place is so cool!!! I am so impressed! First of all it's like hot pot and kbbq all in one, and right in front of you! The cooking thing is so unique - half and half. So you can pick your soup base and then you basically get unlimited meat options for the table. All the sides are unlimited and they are on a conveyer belt that just goes around and you just grab what you want. It's awesome!!! The TVs show what the different sides are. But they are all great. Also you have to visit the sauce bar to make your own sauce!! That was so delicious. The house sauce is amazing and a must!!! At the end you also get a little complementary ice cream! It's a decent size too! The staff is so nice too, we accidentally arrived way too close to closing and didn't realize it but they still served us and let us stay after. So nice!!! read more

Really neat experience that was a little different than the hotpot I've had before. At Shabu everyone gets their own hot pot / hot plate. Other places I've been it was one main pot. You can choose your broth and then what to put in it. You can mix it up with spices and sauces. They bring the meat selections and the veggies and noodles go by on a constantly moving conveyer belt. And it's all you can eat! Everything was really good and I would definitely recommend trying it. The only thing missing was a glass of wine or sake. There were no alcohol choices for drinks. But you do get free ice cream at the end so save a little room for dessert. read more

What a fun new place, an unexpected wonderful find during our visit to Springfield. It's a fun concept: each person has their own soup and warmer spot with unlimited items on conveyor belt, which includes various noodles, mushrooms, veggies, seafood (fresh and frozen shrimp, oyster, muscles, fresh calamari), dumplings, egg rolls, and sweet sesame balls. Lunch price ($20) includes 5 meat items and dinner price ($30) has more premium items plates that servers will bring over upon request. There's a limit of 4 meat plates per table. They also have a serve it yourself condiments station. I had a pork base soup and my husband had chicken and herb base soup. I like to put all the tough food in first that will take awhile to cook or won't get soft if it's in there for a long time, i.e. quail eggs, tofu, bak choy; then cook & eat the pork belly and other meats. Because more meat in soup = more flavorful! I love the ability to personalize my soup. When we're in Springfield, we'll definitely be visiting again! read more

Absolutely delicious. There's so many options for the conveyor belt for appetizers and things to add to your soup. Let alone the sauce buffet and meat options. Come hungry!! read more

This was my first time at a hotpot and I absolutely loved the whole experience. Lots of different food items on the conveyer belt to choose from. The meat options were delicious. You have 90 minutes to eat as much as you want and though the water takes a while to boil initially, it's still way more than enough time to enjoy a meal and get very full. They also offer ice cream at the end as desert which is a nice touch. Our waitress was very nice. Did not have high expectations going in if I'm being completely honest, but I was very pleasantly surprised! I would definitely come back in the future! read more

Hot pot is finally in Springfield! We came on a Wednesday night around 7 pm. It was fairly busy, but there were lots of employees walking around and helping. We were seated for 10 people quite quickly. Service was fast with drinks and getting our soups! Step one: we ordered individual broths. I had the #1 where they crossed out the "spicy". It tasted reminiscent of tom yum. Step two: all you can eat meat. We ordered beef brisket, toro, and rib eye. They're very thinly sliced and we could order as many as we wanted. There were lots of options. Step three: the conveyor belt was such a cool idea that I haven't seen done for hot pot (and I've had lots of hot pot across the country!). I liked the variety and the ease of access in picking whatever you wanted. We also had the option of mixing our own sauces. Best part was the free ice cream after! read more

Very different atmosphere than the website portrays. Not well represented. Service was good. Experience unique. Food ok. The conveyor belt is neat BUT, I found no cooling mechanism. Greens wilted before our eyes and seeing all the seafood in that environment.... I stuck my hand inside and it was basically room temperature. Touched the belt...not icy cool either. Price was extreme. Two bowls of "make your own soup" and two iced teas cost was over $80 and additional tip. Try if you like. Glad I did. Probably won't return. read more

A fantastic dinning experience. Went on a weekday around 1 pm . Host and waitress were very accommodating. Had Beef n Prawn ( large shrimps) had spicy broth. Excellent would certainly go back again. Even got a Military Discount on the bill. read more

Interesting but neat way to present and serve food. Very delicious and you cook your own food

Been here three times now. Food is amazing. Great options. The conveyor belt is a really cool touch. The wait is always a little long, but that's not their fault. It's not a very big restaurant. The sauce bar is a pretty cool touch. read more

Amazing!! First order a broth, then a main meat (up to 4 per person), then pick off the conveyor belt to your heart's content.

Soup was ok but, seriously, over $70 for two bowls of soup??? We got there at 7:00, they close at 8:00. They stopped loading the conveyor shortly after we got our hot pot. Our waiter was busy cleaning so our service spotty at best. Restaurant was a little crowded but not terribly noisy except for the screaming kid on the other side of the restaurant. read more

My niece was in town visiting from California and she wanted to try hot pot which neither of us had tried before and this place did not disappoint! The ambience was great, there were so many options to choose from, and the service was spectacular! Our waitress was Christiana and she was friendly, very attentive, and gave us thorough instructions on how everything works and where everything is. We had our fill of food and will definitely come back to try out all the other options we didn't get to try! The conveyor belt had many options that a tv monitor will explain what it is and there are 'extras' that are not displayed in the slideshow and change often and you can always ask wait staff about. read more

The fresh veggies and noodles on a conveyor belt are fresh. The meats are thin and plentiful. Hands down one of the best new places in Springfield. My only suggestion would be to ask to taste the broths if it's your first time there. The beef broth is a sweet, which I wasn't expecting. On my second visit, I went with chicken, which was rather good. read more

This place is so amazing. Best time is to come right as soon as they open. The service is great~ everyone is so friendly and they explain everything to do so simple. I recommend this place so much!!! read more

If you like hot pot you will like This place. Good selection on the conveyor belt and the meat choices are good also. Service is good too.

It's good but a bit pricey for lunch. So if you don't mind a $20 each for lunch you will be fine

Outstanding service (Thank you, Taylar!). The food was super tasty. The ribeye was so tender, the conveyor was so much fun! Good shrimp, egg rolls, sesame balls, mushrooms, EVERYTHING! We had SO MUCH FUN! AND it was very reasonable. KUDOS! read more

Shabu Hotpot - Asian Fusion Near Me - Springfield, Missouri

Food was great and tons of variety. We didn't need or really even want the meats they brought, although they were good. There was plenty of great meat options on the conveyor. Our server did a great job. Only drawback it was hot in there. It was a very hot day outside and the ac was obviously struggling and then add sitting over the hot pot was uncomfortable. The food made up for it though. read more

We love this place and have now eaten here 5 times. Everything is fresh, there are a ton of different choices, and everyone working there is very nice. The review below where the guy gave two stars for "$70 for two soups" clearly doesn't get how any of this works. Personally, I find the cost cheap compared to the amount of food I am able to put away. read more

Can't say anything bad about this restaurant. Easy check-in process on their iPad when you walk-in. Staff were very friendly and always checking on you and making sure everything was going well and if there were any needs. Food was absolutely delicious. read more

Incredibly good experience and food! At first the price may seem a little steep, but for the amount of food that is available to you, I believe it is reasonable. Go with friends, take your time and enjoy! read more

Make sure you make a reservation. It's was great food and friendly staff. The place is cozy and busy, I love the conveyor belt with items coming through, it's definitely great for the experience as well. read more

I'm not a big glutton who could go to an all you can eat place like this and get my money's worth. The slow service wouldn't allow it if I were. For the money you could go to a great high end restaurant and enjoy a great meal at your leisure. It's a fun concept, just not a good value. read more
