I always pass by this place and decided to come here with my family. We arrived around 5 pm for dinner and were seated after our whole party had arrived. Note that they don't seat parties that are not fully present, even when the restaurant is empty. I was impressed with the AYCE price, $28.99 per person. Everyone gets their own broth and we ordered all the beef proteins. The slices are nice and thin to cook in the broth. Our server rarely checked on us, but the salad bar was pretty stocked. I feel like its a solid hot pot spot, I would def come back for the pricing! read more

Shabu Lin - chuck eye with sukiyaki broth - Hot Pot Near Me - Arcadia, California

Shabu Lin is an AYCE hot pot place that's a bit off the beaten path from the usual hot pot spots in the SGV. The place is clean, has a large self service bar of food (everything but the meats) and the AYCE price is good at $28.99. They also have long tables so this place is good for large parties. Everyone gets their own pot of soup so this is good for the germophobes too. Service was slow as they had more customers than staff on the Friday night that l was last here. And, the freezer was broken so no ice cream for dessert = ( The good thing about them being busy is that is they didn't really enforce the time limit but we had our fill and was just sitting around to chit chat. But, I really did want ice cream though... Check out my pics and videos. read more

Food: 4.5/5 Service: 4/5 Ambiance: 4/5 This is my go to all you can eat shabu restaurant. Every time I come here, I'm usually starving and it's super packed, so I never had a chance to take good photos or write a proper review until now. I came during an off hour this time, and it was much quieter. I've tried several of their soup bases, and my favorite is definitely the mala flavor it's packed with just the right amount of heat and flavor. As for the beef selections, you really can't go wrong, but my personal favorites are cuts #2 and #3. Cut #1 is a bit too lean for my taste, and #4 is a little too fatty. They also have a solid self serve area with plenty of items to choose from. The pricing here is very reasonable, especially considering the quality of the meat. Highly recommended if you're looking for a satisfying and affordable shabu experience. read more

Stopped by on Saturday, 02/01/25 for the first time. AYCE hot pot ($28.99 per person). You first choose your soup base flavor. Both of my parents got the House Shrimp Special Broth and I got the Vegetarian Broth. There is a menu where you can ask for unlimited seafood/meat; we got the beef wagyu, beef prime top blade, beef chuck eye steak, and basa fish 2x). Then there is a buffet-style bar where you can grab veggies, seafood (shrimp, fish balls, squid, clams), fruits, sauces, and sushi. There is also ice cream! Overall I enjoyed this place - worth my money! read more

Cousins night out! It's finally raining in Cali, so we decided to eat shabu to warm up. Parking: This spot is located in downtown Arcadia, so finding a parking spot can be a hit or miss. Free parking spots and parking garage. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Ambiance/Environment: They have a large space with plenty of indoor seating! No outdoor seating. It's sooo clean inside![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The soups are individually served in front of you. The heat level can be easily adjusted. Service: There were a few servers that assisted us. We didn't catch anyone's names except Charles. Everyone was attentive, quick, & efficient tho! Soups, meats, & toppings: We ate AYCE for $28.99 pp! What a deal! Be mindful they have a strict no left overs policy. Their meat selection is really easy to choose from; it's between a spectrum from fatty to lean. They also have lots of flavorful soups to choose from. Our favorites were the Sukiyaki and House Special Shrimp! They have a large self serve toppings & sauce bar. Everything is labeled and clean! The vegetables, fruits, & seafood were fresh as they were kept cold and frozen. Don't forget complimentary ice cream dessert! Pricing: Definitely worth its price! [[HIGHLIGHT]]We appreciated how clean everything was.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The soups were absolutely flavorful. Highly recommend their AYCE option! read more

Shabu Lin's $19.99 lunch special is the unique hybrid of AYCE hot pot items with only one plate of protein of your choice. BF and I stopped by for a weekday lunch and we both chose the beef wagyu for our individual plate, while I picked the savory pork bone broth and he got the house shrimp special broth. After our protein and broth selection, we were free to fill our plates with as much veggies and sides and other hot pot ingredients as our hearts desired. Shabu Lin has a good selection of seafood and fish/meat balls than what I expected. I thought I'd have trouble getting full off one plate of meat and hot pot sides, but I was wrong! I only had one full plate from their hot pot bar and was so so full. Only improvements I can see if making sure to clearly mark what's in each container. The dumpling that day was full of kimchi, which I would've skipped so that it doesn't affect my broth, but I found out too late after getting two pieces. They also have Thirfty ice cream for dessert, but only had sherbert the day I was there (sherbert is not my fave). All in all, a pretty pleasant hot pot experience! Our server was pretty awesome and friendly. Parking is pretty easy, lots of spots if you enter off of Alta Street. read more

Shabu Lin - Hot Pot Near Me - Arcadia, California

The price point here is a good deal for $28.99 for an AYCE experience, [[HIGHLIGHT]]the interior is spacious and perfect for larger groups[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I like the wide variety of veggies they had here, some unique items from the self-serve bar included pineapples and tea eggs. I ordered the pork bone broth and the mala which had a nice kick to it -- I like that this place does individual pots so you can eat at your own place! You order meat through the waiters -- they arrive in a timely order I thought the meat menu showing the cuts of meat was a nice touch. Parking is available via street! read more

The service is good! The food is good! The place is.. okay! Not the most fancy place but honestly the meats are good! Their salad bar area is not bad. I didn't really like the fishballs they had but their kimchi and pickled jalapeños are good! I took off a star because the sauce bar wasn't that great. Any combination of sauce was way too salty. Maybe it was my fault but I never really made a bad combination sauce at any other places. But honestly the meats are kind of good without the sauce! Also not really a fan of their dessert area. The ice cream scoop sits in a container with stagnant water and who knows how long that's been sitting there. But I still ate it and I didn't get any type of food poisoning! Overall, my experience here was good. I would definitely come back! read more

Shabu Lin - meat choice - Hot Pot Near Me - Arcadia, California

OVERALL : This is a great spot for shabu, especially if you like having your own individual soup pot and being able to self-serve the sauces and veggies/sides. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The casual yet friendly vibe makes it good for lunch or dinner -- very family friendly.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] A lot of diff options so there's something for everyone. PARKING : Located on a street with a lot of restaurants and shops -- there is a parking lot in the back and also street parking available! FOOD/DRINKS : I like that everyone gets their own individual soup pot here so you don't need to compromise on which soup base to get! I tried the House Special Shrimp and my sister tried the Pork Bone Broth. They also had a Mala Spicy and Korean Army Soup base along with the typical sukiyaki and miso ones. Both were great soups w flavors that complimented the meats and veggies well. We added some spicy sauce too. You order meat at the table w the server and then go to their self-serve station for seafood, veggies, noodles, and other sides + a DIY sauce bar. They also have self-serve ice cream for dessert. They offer AYCE or a-la-carte lunch/dinner and have solid choices like USDA Wagyu Eye of Round, Prime Top Blade, Premium Short Plate, Pork Belly, and Lamb, to name a few. I don't think the meat is the most premium top quality, but it is sufficient for AYCE and for this price. You can def get a good protein fix here if that is your priority! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Service was friendly, and the store itself was simple but clean.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Def planning on coming back here again for lunch sometime if I'm looking for a fast no-frills typa spot! read more

We had dinner there this past Friday. There is a decent amount of parking along the street and we lucked out with a spot in front of the restaurant. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Inside the place is warm and inviting.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The service is top notch and really on top of things. We did the AYCE option which is only $28.99 and I think that is a really great value. The seafood, vegetables, noodles and other options that are part of the food bar are extensive. You get a lot of sauce options as well. The meat that they bring out to you is all freshly cut in the back. Thin, flavorful and delicious is how I would describe the beef, pork and fish option. You never see fish as an option and I highly recommend you try it. It absorbs the broth quite nicely and is light and flakes. The broths we got were the Korean Army Stew and the Ginseng Chicken. Both were flavorful and unique to this place. I highly recommend both of them. If you still have room they have Thifty's ice cream that you serve yourself. All in all a wonderful restaurant, with great service and even better food. We cannot wait to come back again. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]So this place is in a cute neighborhood section of Arcadia! It's one of those places that feels like either a small town or right by a campus.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Parking might be a bit on the trickier side if it's busy, but trust this place is worth it! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The interior is clean. Feels welcoming and warm.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I got the Ginseng Chicken broth, it's very comforting and feels like a warm hug. My friend got the Korean Army Stew. We got to order one of each protein in the menu, the one that was surprisingly great, was the Basa fish. It was decent thick slices so it absorbs any flavor you cook it in! The self serve bar has lots of options on it. Like some seafood, veggies, plus things like seasoned hardboiled egg and California rolls! Don't forget the sauce station! Also, end the meal with the self serve Thrifty's Ice Cream! I had to get my rainbow sherbet! Check this place out if you're in Arcadia! read more

Shabu Lin is a premium all-you-can-eat hotpot spot known for their wagyu offerings and huge salad bar. Admittedly, I am not the biggest fan of hotpot, but my sister (once again) convinced me to give this spot a try as they slice their meats fresh and each slice is thin to my liking. We got to try all of their premium meats with our favorite being the #3 chuck eye steak! So good! As for the soup bases, we tried Ginseng Chicken, Miso, and Mala. All were on the mellower side but had good flavor. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I appreciate how our table allowed us to individually enjoy our own boiling pot of soup. Very convenient![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Please check them out they next time you're in the SGV! read more

Great option for AYCE hot pot! My friend had her birthday here and they were able to make reservations and reserve three tables in advance. Each person gets their own individual pot and is able to choose the soup base. I usually get the house special shrimp base and it compliments all the flavors of meat and toppings. My favorite cuts of meat are always the fattier ones (Chuck eye steak, Angus Chuck Roll, Pork Collar, Pork Belly) and these do not disappoint. All the veggies, mushrooms, noodles, and fish balls are centralized so you can easily grab as much as you want. Service can sometimes be slow because there's only so many servers, but we know they're always trying their best to accommodate. Parking is easy as there is a lot of street parking. read more

We came in there was a little wait. Service was a little slow but it's acceptable. The food is ok, there is selection of meat and seafood and there is sorbet when were there. Ample parking in the street. read more

First things first, the value. With prices ranging from a $20 lunch for 2 meat plates and a $29 price tag for AYCE, it's definitely the main draw of this place. It's pretty much impossible to find any AYCE under $30 anymore. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We got seated on a Thursday afternoon around 5pm and there was ample seating.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]A small nitpick, but I think the music should be a little louder we were the only party there at the beginning, but was definitely a bit quiet.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] This place also has a decent selection at the salad bar with your veggies, fish balls, shrimp at the sort with a mini sauce bar as well. The sauce bar was pretty compact and missing some of the usual add ons, and I thought the ponzu was a slight miss for my taste but it gets the job done. Now onto the main point, the meats. First of all, I chose the Mala broth - standard Mala broth, rich and oily and definitely what I wanted to pair my meat with. Onto the meat selection, there are around 8 choices. I'd definitely suggest going more for the fatty meats like Chuck and the Short plate. The leaner meats definitely did not do it for me. The fish though works especially well with Mala and was really good in general. But overall, I think the lower quality of the meat is a little apparent. Although, I enjoyed some of the fattier meats it still left me wanting more with every bite. The color before and after cooking, as well as a slight toughness to everything cooked as I tried to leave it in the broth for less and less time, was a slight disappointment. Overall, if you're just looking to get a high volume of meat for your money's worth this place could do it for you. Personally, I think shelling out a little more cash for some of the other great spots in the area would be more worth it. read more

I have not been here in a while because they provided me bad service last time I was here. But I came again because my brother wanted to try. It seems this place is under new management.

[[HIGHLIGHT]]The place is very clean and relaxing.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I will be coming back and more often. read more

Shabu Lin - Vegetable Bar with seafood - Hot Pot Near Me - Arcadia, California

The restaurant has street parking and a lot in the back. It's indoor seating. Quite spacious and clean. Came on a weekend and no wait. Because it's a weekend it's all you can eat. They have a salad bar and bar where you can choose your unlimited seafood and veggies. From their menu you can choose your meats that they bring to you (various beef, pork, lamb, fish) but our table just ordered beef. The wagyu was the leanest which none of us really cared for...fattier the yummier lol. On the side they have a variety of dipping sauces for you to choose from. The broth like many reviewers said weren't too flavorful. I would say they are healthier to taste. The house broth had the most flavor. At the end of the meal we were told of ice cream in the corner self serve. They have a good amount of food choices. Pretty tasty. The staff are nice and helpful. We each paid about $38 for lunch which compared with other meals nowadays is average so not too bad. read more

I normally get the ginseng chicken broth and load up on the bok choy, spinach, and scatter some shrooms to enhance the the soup base. As for the meat, I like to load up on the leanest meat (wagyu eye of round) and not the leanest, premium short plate. If you're all about the sauce life, I like to mix some daikon and mixed garlic into the the sesame sauce! Shabu Lin For Thought: I wouldn't mind coming back if I have a ayce shabu crave. read more

For $30 this is lowkey a bang for your buck. They offer some decent quality meat here, and its ayce so you can eat as much as you want. They also have different sides here that you can grab such as California roll and tteok bokki. I chose the pork bone broth which lacked flavors. I could barely taste anything if i dont dip the meat into the sauces. I think if they can fix this part, this place would definitely be a 5 star. Service here is also pretty fast, and no limit on how many meats you can order at once. Decent experience here and ill be back, i just hope they improve the broth. read more

Came to eat at Shabu Lin for a friend's birthday dinner. We came for an early Sunday dinner (5PM) and when you first step into the restaurant you will notice how clean the interior is. The salad bar is located in the middle of the restaurant which a huge selections of sauces, vegetables, seafood, and some hot foods. Dinner pricing was about $28/person and I believe Lunch was $18/person AYCE. I got the sukiyaki, and it was a bit underwhelming, I felt like the soup based was too watered down in my opinion. Around the table we also tried the Mala Pork/Ginseng Chicken/Pork Bone soup and all were a bit too light in my opinion. If the soup flavor was a bit stronger they could easily become a popular hotpot spot. The meat/seafood selection was pretty good for the price, I recommend getting the Short Rib cut. It's the fattiest beef cut they have on the menu and I could easily eat 5-10 plates of just that. As for service, our server was attentive and nice to start, however after starting us off with our soups/drinks he never came back to check on the table. This might be a plus for some customers, but I was personally a little sad. Overall, the restaurant is decent for the price, but I wouldn't come back unless invited to come back by a friend. If they change up their soup/sauce selection and make them a bit more flavorful then I would be willing to give them another chance! read more

Pretty good hot pot place and it's away from the hustle and bustle of the Westfield Arcadia Mall. We went for lunch on a Friday so the lunch prices were reasonable. If you've never been to a hot pot place this is how this one works. They seat you at your table and you have individual soup burners at the table. Once the waitress or waiter come to your table you pick the broth and pick your protein. I initially I thought you could only pick one protein but the waiter explained that you can order all of them on their list depending on lunch or dinner. Then head over to the buffet table of vegetables, noodles, all the items to toss in your broth. The steam rice and sauce station are also self serve. Go back for more if needed since it's AYCE. I ordered the miso broth and it was delicious. Great place! read more

We will not gate-keep these new prices - new management equals new prices. $17.99 for lunch and $27.99 for dinner and weekends. Sounded like a good deal and we're glad we went.

Service was a little downer though, took about 10min to get is seated on an almost empty room but there were only two servers for the whole place so understandable.

This restaurant has an all you can eat menu. The rice, sauce, fruits, veggies, ice cream and frozen seafood (i.e. octopus, shrimp, fish balls, etc.) were all self serve. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant is pretty spacious and there are tables that can fit large groups.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I went with a group of 5 and they had a large enough table to fit all of us. There were a few broth selection such as miso, chicken and ginseng, house special (shrimp), bone broth, kimchi, veggie, and mala spicy. And there 8 protein options to order from-4 beef options, 2 pork 1 lamb, and 1 fish option. The staff was very attentive and nice. The only reason why I docked several stars is because of their self serve bar. They have a great variety of options at the self serve bar, however some of the mushrooms and frozen seafood had a bit of an odd taste. Some servings of seafood and mushrooms were fine and others had a bit of a funky taste. Perhaps some had been thawed and refrozen or maybe sat at the bar a little too long. But I quickly spat out the ones that tasted off and I did not get sick. But I would advise the restaurant to perhaps change out some of the self-serve bar items a little more frequently. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Overall, this restaurant was nice and it's great for a group to catch up.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant was not overtly noisy so my party and I had no problem hearing one another.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

I'm quite appalled at how bad the service here was today. The restaurant was pretty full, and I think the ownership just way under staffs this restaurant. I personally needed to walk up to the weight staff for my own water, every meat refill, napkins, tongs, And soup refill. It wasn't just me because every table around us you need to do the same thing. It's unacceptable to have a restaurant require their patrons to walk up and request for items especially when there is a minimum gratuity added on. The main station in the middle was not properly managed where some of the sauce or the green onions were all empty. They didn't have serving plates and they were constantly trying to wash them and put them there. I don't know if I came on off night, but this restaurant seems to need a lot of help figuring out how to properly run it smoothly. read more

I finally was able to try this place out after years of it sitting on my bookmarks. I have to say I was utterly disappointed. I should've known when the AYCE pricing was $10 cheaper than the other AYCE spots in the area. The 2 stars is mainly for the quality of the meat. It was just not good at all. The meat was WAY too lean to the point that it was rough and chewy and the fattier meats just had WAY too much fat. It was not enjoyable or edible. I love goma sauce and even their sauce couldn't save them. It was just too watery. I had their pork bone soup and it also was not good. I will say that they had a nice and fresh selection of veggies and carbs and the area was clean... until it got busy. There were literally two people serving the entire restaurant so service was basic to none. And the cherry on top was that when we were leaving I felt like we were chased down by the owner or manager because he thought we were going to leave without paying. We had already paid the bill and were just sitting and resting before ultimately leaving to brace the cold weather. We got up to walk towards to exit and here he comes running to the front and when he went to check his iPad thing, he realized the bill was settled and did a weird turn around to try to play it off.... It was just a weird and he assumed that we would dine and dash. Not that I've ever done it or condone it, we wouldn't be walking ever so slowly to leave if we wanted to dine and dash. Unfortunately, will never be coming back again. I'll just shell out an extra $10 for momo paradise instead where at least I know everything is good quality. read more

We decided to go here on a weekday for dinner, and walked into a completely empty, quiet restaurant! Not sure if there was something going on that day, but needless to say, it meant more attention toward us for sure. The meat and toppings still seemed pretty fresh though, just a few of the items were still frozen at the bar (but I guess on the bright side, that meant we could be confident that stuff would still be fresh. Our broths were all pretty standard -- nothing mindblowing -- but tasted good. Our server was really attentive, and helped us out super fast whenever we needed extra napkins or utensils. While I wouldn't put this place at the very top of my hot pot rankings, this was fairly solid and I'd come back if I needed a place in the area. read more
