Food was a bit bland, service was actually about as bad as the roaches sitting on top of the vegetable bar... the ambiance wasn't terrible... I didn't ask for a refund only because we noticed after we ate while we were getting rushed out. read more

After we started eating the literal roaches came out of the wall to join us for dinner totally gross never ever eat anything from this place we were given a 20% discount read more

Been here several times, and has become busier now with new owners. you begin with a choice of broth, my favorite has been sukiyaki and miso, but there are 5 more choices like spicy thai and vegetable based. Then opt for angus beef, pork, lamb or chicken slices. And then there is a buffet of vegetables and seafood. It's a healthy meal overall and why I keep coming back. read more

Didn't expect much but I was pleasantly surprised. The place is big, clean, and staffs were friendly. What surprised me the most was how much options they had sauce and vegetable. They have pre-made house sauces for you in case you don't want to make your own sauce. There were some things that even Shabu Zone doesn't have, like a wide variety of mushrooms, lotus roots, kombu seaweed, and zucchini. The vegetables were a mix of what Happy Lamb and Shabu Zone so it was kind of best of both worlds for me. Lastly and most importantly, the meats were all fresh and delicious. I think they can improve on making the base broth more flavorful, but I'm so happy we finally have a shabu place in Katy. I really hope more people give it a try. read more

Terrible service. Waited for 10 minutes to be seated only for them to tell me that they are closed and no longer accepting. Granted I came in at 2:35 but they close at 3. What a joke read more

Fantastic option the AYCE BBQ wasn't available but but the hot pot option was great can't wait for it to be ready so we can return for that.

This place seems to be the 2nd location of Shabu Zone on Bellaire/Chinatown. We found this place while searching for a hot pot place in Katy area. The outside doesn't look that appealing but we were very impressed after walking inside. The place is very spacious & I love how they arrange the tables to be far away from each other so you can comfortably eat within a safe social distancing. There's also a separate room for large parties so you can have your privacy. The meats, seafood, and vegetables come with a wide variety of options for you to choose and they do a very decent job to keep everything fresh. The staff was very friendly & attentive to us all the time. Also don't forget to ask for your complimentary ice cream after your meal. I love their coffee ice cream. ^_^ As they're large with a lot of tables, there was no line even during the busy dinner time. I prefer this place so much better than the Bellaire location. Will definitely come back next time! read more

Came to dinner to try this place for the first town. It was a little hidden and hard to get to. It is a bit of a distance from I-10 freeway. The server was not able to explain the broths well, which left us confused. We decided on the Sukiyaki and Beef broths. Both were clear broths. Sukiyaki was ok. Beef broth was bland. It was hard to flag down a waiter for refills of water and meats since they seemed to be short staffed on a Friday dinner, which was surprising. The meat slices were thin and yummy. The variety of sauces were great. They had an array of the typical buffet selections of noodles, seafood and vegetables. I also liked their multiple flavors of ice cream available. The restaurant itself was average looking. It did not look nicely decorated or clean looking. I likely will not return because the dinner price is too high for me. Also unfortunately, they do not offer a lot of good red meats selection for lunch. read more

We went to Shabu Town thinking it would be similar to Shabu Zone in bellaire, however it was far inferior. The broth we got was the bone broth and it tasted like pepper water. The meat quality is pretty good and the selection of seafood and vegetables were also wide. The service was pretty lacking as there were only a couple of servers for the whole place. read more

If you are into this crazy trend called Shabu, then come check out Shabu Town located in West Houston/Katy! Shabu is like fondue, which you basically have a stovetop on your table and a huge pot for you to cook your unlimited protein, veggies, toppings in a variety of broth soup base. This place is an all you can eat style and there is even Quality meats. With weather changing cooler, this is an absolute must try. You will love it! ChowChow Time!! read more

it was really good selection of things to pick from. The service was great too only thing that was cumbersome was the space in the table.

Okay okay, how come no one told me this place existed in Katy?! I was craving hot pot so stopped by here for lunch and it was a great one indeed. The concept is very similar to Shabu Zone on Bellaire but I would say this location is way better in my opinion. Prices per person is decent. Not too shabby. $16.99 for lunch on Mon-Fri. For AYCE, I'll take it. The place upon entrance was very spacious! Modern and bright, very well lit inside. It's extremely cleaned, even the restrooms! Hand sanitizers were provided at each table so that was a plus. Gloves & napkins provided at the buffet lines. Very efficient and clean. Food was abundance. Plentiful of varieties, ranging from fresh seafood, vegetables, and noodles. Meats are to be ordered with your server and it comes out relatively quick. I chose the original house broth since it was my first time, think it's a little bit on the bland side but now I know. Spicy is the way to go. Their sauce stations is awesome. So much different combinations to chose from. But my favorite was the mushrooms. So many varieties! All of my favorite shrooms! Definitely went for 2 plates of those. I loved how big the shrimp were, very meaty and fresh tasting. Overall, it's a great find. I enjoyed it a lot. Would totally come back. I can eat hot pot or shabu any given day! Even if it's 100 degrees outside! Haha worth it. Service was amazing. The 3 waitresses that took care of me were super attentive and friendly. Never left my drink empty and gave me plenty of napkins and collected my empty plates in a timely manner. Just found my new favorite spot for lunch y'all! read more

Shabu Town - Korean style hotpot - Korean Near Me - Katy, Texas

First time to try Shabu Shabu and it was fantastic! Our server did a great job of explaining the process. We ordered the Beef Bone Broth and the new Thai one. Ordered them both spicy but the Thai one was the favorite. Perfect flavor with plenty of spice. We ordered the different beefs they offer at lunch, as well as pork belly, pork shank and leg of lamb. I definitely preferred the beefs over the others but all were tasty. I read on another review to add your veggies, garlic, onion, greens, etc first to develop some deeper flavors in the broth. There were so many veggies, noodles, seafood options to pick from on the buffet line. It is a bit overwhelming! But I was most excited about the variety of mushrooms! Don't think I've ever eaten so many at one sitting! And they have an entire bar dedicated to just sauces! Faves were #1 & #3, both have a touch a peanut. I love Ramen eggs and they have raw eggs that you can crack right into your pot and cook to your liking! Sooo good! The place was very clean. Gloves and sanitizer everywhere. Staff was hustling the entire time! You cannot beat the lunch price of $16.99! And they offer ice cream to top off your meal! Fabulous experience! At dinner, they offer different cuts of beef so will want to try dinner next. read more

Went here to try a different AYCE hotpot besides Shabu zone. We came in Monday morning for lunch. The waiters were very nice! My girlfriend and i got the spicy original broth and spicy beef bone broth. We looked around and we saw so much topping and were amazed at what we were looking at. They have a cooked section at the end near the dessert bar, there were fried rice, spicy tteokbokki, noodles, and potstickers but all of them were cold and bland. Both broths were very bland I had to add some more seasonings from the sauce bar. Their sauce bar was lacking as well. We saw some a fly in the fried rice, a red plastic wrap on the fish ball, and there were hair in the ice cream. I pulled the hair out and it was deep within the ice cream, (long hair) and then I found another one... read more

Shabu Town - Hair in ice cream - Korean Near Me - Katy, Texas

I hate to say that this place was a huge disappointment. I absolutely love hot pot and have been to several places but this one is the worst hot pot ever experience, mostly due to their cleanliness. As I was eating, a roach literally fell from the ceiling on to my table.. it missed the food but doesn't take away from how it ruins your appetite to see that. There was also a dead fly by the self serve food, almost as if someone killed it and left it there. I went back to the self-serve several times and it was still there. It's clear that the staff doesn't go around, inspecting their food and cleaning the self-serve area. The food, itself, was not the greatest either. They did not have much variety. Not retuning. read more

Pretty similar to Shabu Zone located in the HK4 Bellaire plaza. Quality wise I would say this place is slightly cleaner and fresher but not that indistinguishable all of the meats were tender and fresh. No gaminess or pungency to the seafood bar. Sadly they were out of the beef gravy broth but the standard house broth was good too. They had a sauce bar as well. Main difference is the ice cream is ordered and not self serve. All in all good place to try if you live far from bellaire. Price points are pretty similar as well. I do favor bellaire tonkotsu broth more though. But I have yet to try Shabu towns bone broth read more

The options are plentiful in terms of meat choice, and the soup bases are very delicious. I've been here twice now and every dish I've had still tastes amazing. I recommend this place to anyone who wants a "tasty" hotpot place. Pros: Staff is very friendly, and the food is awesome. Cons: You'll get full quick and won't have enough room to try everything here. read more

Oh my. Definitely coming back. Recommended by a coworker and it did not fail. Worth every penny.

Excellent. Very clean and excellent service. A Japanese style Hot Pot restaurant. Great thin sliced meats large selection of seafood. Wait staff excellent. Over all quality of food - excellent. Will be back soon with friends. read more

I'd hate to do this but Shabu Town today was a 2/5 tonight. During my first order of meat, I happened to find some hair on my plate and I've alerted the staff there to tell them. She looked and said "oh I'm sorry" and that was it. There was really no way in trying to compensate for that.. I did finish eating there still but I will not be coming back.. *Now they automatically add a 15% tip and 18% for 6+ parties... I understand it for bigger parties, but for small tables....really? (Regardless of how bad service might be that day, 15% would be the minimum...) Warning: look at your food/plate before you eat! read more

Food they offer is great and a variety of different soups makes each experience different. All you can eat in two hours and was checked on a good amount of times that didn't seem too bothersome. Was always helped and questions answered in a polite manner. The place is filled with kpop music with projectors and the area where they keep the buffet food is clean and presented so nicely. A great place to chill and enjoy some hotpot. read more

I love Shabu town. I have eaten here several times before and it is always delicious. The vegetable and noodle bars are good. They have a decent selection. Not too many things but all of the staples you would want. The sauce bar has some great premade options so if you don't know what exactly you'd want. Just try out on of the sauces they've already made. The meat options are good. For lunch you can only choice from like 5 different meat cuts but they're good. And for $20 it's not bad at all. The first round of meat was much thicker sliced than the other orders we got. But all of the meat was fresh and you can order as much as you want. I went with my friend and we both were able to order 2 plates of meat at a time. This is a great spot to check out. read more

Shabu town is a hidden gem in Katy! Very clean and servers are extremely attentive. I stumbled upon here because I was on a shabu phase for the longest and even though my husband doesn't like shabu shabu (all you can eat hot pot), he came here with me and he really enjoyed it. Like reallllyyyyy enjoyed it. Shabu town has changed the game for him! Great experience and we live close by so we will be coming often. read more

The food was amazing but the meat was small and thin. The waiter served us the wrong order but the meat was still good. The restaurant was very clean and I could hardly see any food on the ground. They had a ton of food Everything else was amazing! First time coming and left a good impression. read more

I absolutely believe that this is the best Shabu in all of Houston. Don't waste your time at Shabu Zone. Shabu Town is less crowded, fresher ingredients, and better quality meat. I recommend getting Nhi as your server. She will take care of you! read more

Went on a Saturday had the $29.99 AYCE It was empty. We were only ones there. The ambience was low lit. Plenty sections of seafood, veggies, etc There must be a limit on time, because when we (2) ate there, the server stood by and kept looking at us. We were there for 2 hours. Okay experience but still does the job and fill you up! read more

Kicked us out at 9:04 because they closed at 9:30 . Never returning again ! And we drove over 25min to get here

Great customer service but the soup base was horrible The meat was okay but nut worth the price read more

This is my go to Hot Pot place. Love it here. Wait staff always super friendly. Good selection.

I have been missing out. First time here and I was totally impressed by everything . If you are a fan of hotpot, do yourself a favor and come try this place out. This place is clean with amazing service and fresh delicious food. It is ayce $20 for lunch and $30 for dinner. read more

The first batch of meat is good quality after that when you reorder some more all I got was pretty much beef fat. Veggies are fresh, a bit weak on dipping sauce options. But really the meat quality goes downhill when you order 2nd 3rd time. read more

My very first time eating shabu here was a wonderful experience here w/ all the good stuff to choose from! It's almost like Shabu Zone in Bellaire and they also have some side foods like tteokbokki (my favorite!) and japchae too! Sucks that they'll charge you for any leftover meat you order but will definitely go back again! :) read more

My husband and I had a late lunch here on a Saturday. Like many other restaurants in the area, you are asked to wear a mask when you are not at your table. Additionally, there are bottles of hand sanitizer everywhere. My husband and I both got the spicy original broth. The waitress explained to us that the broth was vegetarian so I'm assuming it's a kombu based broth. I highly recommend using the variety of vegetables and buffet items to season your broth. I made a broth inspired by a Korean jjamppong with lots of shrimp, scallops, green onion, white onion, garlic, jalapeño, sesame oil, red pepper flakes, and salt. I also added a TON of mushrooms. The variety of mushrooms is pretty impressive. The broth was perfect for me. Finally, we ordered pork belly and pork sirloin as our meats. I recommend starting with veggies, fish cake, and meats first. Those season the broth. Then, add noodles. The last thing I do when I get to the end of the pot is strain out the veggies and crack an egg. Then, I add rice and cook it into the broth. It's a fantastic way to end the meal. The quality of the food was great. The service was expedient. And most importantly, the variety of items on the bar was perfect. I'll be going again for sure! read more

Came here for dinner Sunday night, and was excited to check them out. Looking over menu photos and food pics on Yelp - it looked pretty decent to try for AYCE. Parking is plentiful here since they are located in a strip. Right when you come in, you're hit with a smell that's quite fishy..... I think this is maybe the seafood they have out? But I've been to other places with similar set up and the smell here definitely stands out. We were seated and ordered our individual broths. My sister and I got the Thai Spicy broth and my boyfriend got the original broth - spicy. Thai Spicy broth was decent & had good flavor to it, just not as spicy as I was hoping it would be. We did try to ask for it extra spicy, but was told we can add items from the sauce bar to make it more spicy. I personally didn't not do that, because I did not want to end up with something I didn't like at all. I tried the original spicy broth and it kind of reminded me of shin ramen noodle broth. Just a hint of spiciness there - good for folks who don't like too much heat. The sauce bar had a lot of sauces - with premade sauces and individual ingredients to make your own sauce. Food bar had a decent selection of items to include frozen oysters, mussels, clams, noodles/udon, oyster mushrooms, veggies, etc. You order the meat directly with the servers and they were pretty consistent about asking if we wanted more - which I like. Meat quality was decent as well, it's not frozen meat as far as I could tell and it's a decent amount of meat per serving. I think overall, it's an okay spot for AYCE hot pot. I personally don't see myself returning again because although decent, the broths could have been better and I just really wasn't a fan. If you're reading this, they are worth giving a shot if you're curious. I think it's really up to personal preference to determine if this spot is for you or not. read more

Service is excellent! The restaurant is clean. The soup is ok ... needs more option for the sauce. They have lots of seafood options.
