    Veggie and fruit selection
    Alexa L.

    Came in on a weekend and we were seated right away. They are family friendly as they entice parents with 1/2 price for kids under a certain height and 2 is free. We opted for the unltd AYCE with meat (I don't think we were hungry enough with the meats so if we come back I may opt for w/o meat. Their clams and shrimp were HUGE and fresh so that's a big plus and a major reason why we chose to come here. The place is also clean and brightly lit, staff refilled selections in the veggie/fruit section when deemed necessary. Mango sorbet was a hit with everyone and yes, if paying with cash, you get a slight discount.

    Went to a different hot pot place tonight and what a good experience at Shabu House. Viewing from their broth options to the buffet options you browse after leaving the table. There are familiar ingredients we all see in usual hot pot places. At Shabu House, some ingredients went above and beyond on different items and were delicious to try or go back to get another plate. There is a fresh juice bar when you enter and view your options on the menu. Our waiter/different servers were all attentive and polite. Mango sorbet is free at the end of your meal. When you pay, there is a 5% discount if you use cash. We didn't have enough, next time we will know. Thank you for our good dinner experience.

    Absolutely love this place! It was my first time here brought by friends who frequent the restaurant. The selection of meats, veggies, seafood & carbs were great. I tried their suyaki broth and it was so good and clean. The service was fast and very sweet! We stayed a bit past their closing and they didn't rush us out. The place is also huge so plenty of seating as well. The prices were reasonable and I would definitely come again & recommend it to others!

    There's usually a wait of 20-30 min at peak dinner time on weekends but it's so worth it. Very clean, spacious, and attentive service. Our server noticed our broth getting low and refilled them ASAP and was always on top of refilling our water and clearing away dirty plates. The self serve area is always well stocked and fresh with lots of variety!

    This is the second time I've made the hour drive to Shabu Shabu House! This restaurant is definitely in my top three for hot pot. The space is large, so I was able to get seated right away. It's also very clean inside, with many staff members clearing tables promptly as each plate is emptied. The mala and miso broths are very flavorful! I wish I could mix the two in one pot. I like to order every meat except for lamb and tripe. All the meats are of great quality and incredibly tender--truly the freshest I've ever had at a hot pot restaurant. Their sauce bar also has many great options. There's a huge selection of fresh veggies, seafood, noodles, and more to choose from in their cold area. The veggies are particularly fresh, and there's always someone checking them for quality and making sure everything is well stocked. The mango dessert at the end is a perfect, refreshing treat to lighten up the meal. Our server had a big section and didn't come around often to check if we needed more broth, but it wasn't an issue because you can always ask a passing employee. I'm already looking forward to the next time I get to eat here!

    great selection of meats

    Just landed in new york after a red eye flight and decided to try this place. I love hot pot and i love all you can eat so what better way to start the vacation than a place like this. Staff was prompt and friendly and they had a wide selection of toppings to choose from for your hotpot. I loved the various meatballs they had to offer. wide variety of bases - ordered their hottest one on the menu and it was very good - perfect level of hot and doesn't have that MSG after taste. price for all you can eat is also fair for the quality of food you get.

    Came here to celebrate my bestie's birthday. I've been to a few of these AYCE shabu places (Spring being my favorite) and this one was a bit different! They have an AYCE option with the meat and also an option without the meat. We opted for the AYCE with meat. When I started to get my shabu veggies, etc. I noticed this place has a much larger variety of dumplings, fish cakes and they even had seafood (clams, calamari etc) and a fried food section included! (This is when I realized many could do with just the base price) They also had interesting broths. The only thing I will note- is that for whatever reason when making my sauces, it came out sweeter than usual and I tried 3 times. Not sure what was making it sweet. I called ahead and they let me bring a cake and the service was good. We even lingered for a bit past the time and they didn't kick us out. Btw- note this is a BYOB joint! They don't have a liquor license, but will let you bring it in. Also, to finish they gave us this mango sorbet. It was really good and had real mango on top. This place would've gotten 5 stars if it wasn't so dang warm in there! They should make it cooler during the summertime. We were all sweating.

    All you can eat hot pot is ALWAYS going to be a good idea. Every hot pot place does it a little differently and Shabu House really hit the nail on the head. It's located in a strip mall, down a couple flights of stairs. All of the food to put into the broth is lined up against the back wall and let me tell you it looks like the produce section of a grocery store. BRIGHT and options galore. Ordering the broth and meat was a breeze through our waiter and came out very fast. The whole experience was amazing and I will definitely be coming back!

    I came here because a friend's recommendation and to celebrate our wedding anniversary. This is my second time in a K-pot restaurant. --Customer service was more than excellent !!! Cheers -- you can find a humongous variety of vegetables, dumplings with any meat, noodles , etc. Our food was delicious. The pork and beef meats were super fresh; the vegetables and dumplings were, also.High quality on noodles and ramen.... --- the place is so big so the average noise still be ok! Our server explained patiently the way this type of korean restaurants works. She was very attentive to us all the time. The place is very clean! recommended Thank you and God bless you!!!

    You cannot leave Fort Lee without a visit to Shabu House. With its everlasting "Grand Opening" sign, Shabu house is a hallmark destination for AYCE hotpot in the area. The quality and quantity of selection is amazing that leaves little to be desired. There is a wide range of broth selections ranging from tomato to miso to sukiyaki and more. The inside is wide open and high ceilinged--enough to keep a faint hotpot smell that doesn't stick too much to your hair and clothes. Servers come around regularly to fill up your water and broth so you'll never feel thirsty or hungry for more.

    Shabu House is absolutely my favorite Shabu place in the area. They offer unlimited meat and you can't complain about the quality. Location: Shabu House is located in Fort Lee or just a short drive away from Edgewater and Port Imperial. Food: As you likely guessed from the name, Shabu House specializes in all things Shabu Shabu. They offer a meat buffet option which includes unlimited meat and access to the buffet, which is well stocked with an assortment of vegetables, small side dishes (tteok-bokki), and sauces to go with your Shabu Shabu. Service: We have been well taken care of every time we've visited. Price: At $37.99 for the unlimited meat buffet, Shabu House's price just can't be beat. Takeaway: A sure place to get your meat or Shabu Shabu fix.

First time for me, and hopefully not the last. Unfortunately, I live in DC but this will definitely be on the list of favorite restaurants to return to. FOOD: Holy Shabu-moly! The fish cake, veggie, noodle, dumpling, sauce selection was too much. Seriously, I mean that literally. Patrons are paralyzed by the paradox of choice. Fewer options would help me focus on the essentials and allow me more time eating than deciding. Lol. Honestly I wish I would have just focused on ordering the meats. SERVICE: We had a young waiter who was very attentive, professional, accommodating, and understanding. Also, an older gentleman who I can only imagine was a manager, stopped by to fill our water glasses and ensure we were happy with everything. FACILITY: Not exactly what I would call spacious, especially if this restaurant was packed, but it was very comfortable, especially since we had a large wheelchair. The bathrooms were immaculate.

One that serves vanilla and green tea ice cream and the other that serves vanilla and mango sorbet. And alll of the ice cream and sorbet were SUPER refreshing. THE SERVICE ------------------- + Friendly and cordial waiters. + Waiters consistently visited us to see how we were doing and to check on if we needed more meat or seafood. THE SURROUNDINGS ------------------------------- + Spacious interior with lots of tables. + Private parking lot in the front and to the side. RANDOM OBSERVATIONS ------------------------------------- + Even on a Monday late morning to early afternoon, there were 4-5 tables occupied, including us. Considering how good the food is here, I can totally see this spot getting very busy on weekends. + As of April 2026, the all you can eat pricing is very reasonable with it ranging from $18.95 - $35.95, depending on the time of day (lunch or dinner), day of the week (weekday or weekend/holiday) and whether you want to include meats and seafood (which I TOTALLY recommend).

Basically you pick your fillings and put it in a basket. Then they weigh it and you can either get it in a soup or stir fried. They cook the food pretty quickly so it's not a bad choice for a quick meal. You tell them what level of spice you want and I always go for medium or lower. When they say it's spicy, it's SPICY. The medium can have me sweating a little bit it's still flavorful. They have a good variety of vegetables, noodles, fish balls, and meats to choose from. Though I think I like some of the variety at other places better. Overall it's a fun experience. During my last visit they were running an anniversary special for Hot Pot at $9.99/lb rather than the usual $14.99/lb. I decided to give it a shot for the first time. I wasn't much of a fan of the broth. It had a tanginess that I didn't really appreciate. I much prefer the dry pot. The service is friendly and the place is clean. They don't have a parking (though that's pretty standard in the area) so sometimes it gets annoying. I know I'll end up back at Work Bar in the future, but next time I'll stick to the dry pot (stir fry).

The fish balls, fish cakes, fish tofu, and bean curd rolls also tasted of freezer burn, which was nasty. The fact that these items tasted "old" says a lot about the low quality and food safety at a restaurant that's been running for years. The sushi also tasted like it sat out for a long time with its extra firm rice grains. We had two Koreans within our group and one of them flagged down a Korean server to request tongs. She responded abruptly in English as she pointed to the sauce area, "You get up." Mind you, the restaurant was not busy, and we saw her later walk towards other tables full of older Koreans and talking to them politely in Korean. We don't mind getting items ourselves but the ahjummas spoke condescendingly and brushed us off as if we were bothering her.

For meat, the waitress suggested the brisket and top blade (which are non-fatty), and it didn't disappoint. We also ordered fatty beef and lamb, which were good as well. The beef wasn't overly fatty, and the lamb didn't have that gamey taste that it can sometimes have. As for all the non-meat/seafood items, they are all self-serve. They've got a good selection of veggies, fish balls, and noodles. The sauce station was also good, and had everything you might want. For dessert, they have melona bars. Could have been nice if they had a soft serve machine. I wouldn't mind coming back during a dinner service to see if they have any expanded menu items available.

Kimchi sides were a mix of aged deep/sour kind (right up my alley).
