THE FOOD ---------------- + Great variety of hot pot foods to select from! + Excellent food quality - ALLLL of the meats (e.g., pork belly, pork shoulder, rib eye, prime fatty beef, etc.) and seafood (e.g., clams, shrimp, octopus, etc.) that we ordered were verrrrrry fresh and delicious. + All of the non-meat/seafood items to choose from (e.g., green veggies, fish balls, dumplings, corn, etc.) were also very good. + Everything that you can select from the self-serve refrigerated area to cook was well-organized, maintained and replenished when low. + The number of sauces to choose from will make your head spin ... which is a good thing! + They have 2 self-serve ice cream machines. 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).
Individual hot pot with many many soup options! Meat was quite good and i loved the selection of toppings that you go ip to get urself ESPECIALLY the cheese filled rice cake :D i do personally like chinese hot pot broth better bc i feel like it's a lot more flavorful... immediately clocked that this place was a korean-catered hot pot place bc the broth tasted like a little too clean and too healthy LMFAO, the mala wasn't actually mala (tho it was still good i'd want to try it). pork bone broth was the korean clear soup type (think 돼지곰탕 soup), not the milky white chinese one that i really like. this is most definitely personal preference tho bc i know my mom would love this place as someone who hates typical chinese hot pot. i hear my friends raving ab the sukiyaki so i am determined to go back and try it. Also this place had so many lil perks that made hot pot easy, like a little strainer u can clip into ur bowl to not lose noodles and smaller toppings in the depths of ur broth. also the soft serve was great lol idc what anyone else says
- Not too busy for a Monday lunch--we were the first seated at 11:30a, with a few more parties arriving gradually during the meal - Pull-in angle parking available right out front, though spots are somewhat limited - Clean, bright space with large windows that let in plenty of natural light, creating an inviting daytime atmosphere - Very spacious hot pot spot with well-spaced tables, adding to a comfortable dining experience; while the selection is a bit smaller than some competitors, there's still a solid variety, especially with broths and sauces - Service was excellent--staff were warm, friendly, efficient, and attentive throughout the meal - Menu pricing is straightforward with tiered AYCE options: basic (standard items), regular (includes meats), and premium (includes meats and seafood); we opted for the premium tier at $31.95 - Food quality was a strong point overall: meats--especially the ribeye and fatty beef--were thinly sliced and tender; seafood like shrimp and octopus were notably large and fresh-tasting--clams were huge and succulent; veggies, fish balls, noodles, and dumplings were neatly organized in the self-service refrigerators - The green tea/vanilla swirl ice cream was slightly runny and on the sweeter side, but the mango sorbet/frozen yogurt swirl was refreshing and made for a great palate cleanser - A well-rounded AYCE hot pot experience with a comfortable setting, attentive service, and quality ingredients, even if the selection isn't the most extensive - Bonus: they do not use MSG in their cooking!
TLDR: It's a treat when establishments can match the standards that are set for big cities. ShabuRo might look like just another hotpot spot along a street, but I think it can compete with the other hotpot places that I frequent. Pork Bone Soup: I think most hotpots rely a lot on the meat to its flavor. Their soup is no different, as the broth is generally flat before anything is cooked in it. X rounds of mushroom, vegetables, and meat later, the broth will have a significatly meatier taste, and is enjoyable. You will feel thirsty later on though. Beef: Keep it simple. Fatty = more flavor, lean = easier to eat. All the beef options that I tried cooked easily, tasted good, and was consistent throughout the meal. Lamb: Similar to the beef in nature but managed to feel unique. You can taste the lamb, and the texture is a touch different. Chicken: Chicken's chicken. It loses a lot of its flavor when you boil it in meat. Buffet spread: It's good. The sides were okay and the rest of the ensemble was built to help augment the flavor of the broth and improve the hotpot experience. Ambiance: It's spatious and seats a good amount of people. It can handle parties of 10 rather comfortably, and feels new. Service: We went during a non-busy time, and they made sure our table was always clear of empty plates, waters refilled, and made sure we had everything we needed.
Smaller than other AYCE hotpot restaurants in the area, but they offer more broth and sauce options than I've ever seen - the shallot sauce is a must! You can order meats à la carte and it is reasonably priced ($5-7/serving). Make sure to leave room for their desserts - Matcha or Vanilla ice cream, Mango sorbet or frozen yogurt.
Ordered: Regular All You Can Eat Weekend (~$34/person): kimchi & sukiyaki broths; fatty beef, non-fatty beef, chicken, lamb, & full buffet; matcha, vanilla, & mango ice cream for dessert Aya's take: Nothing like some shabu after a much needed spa day! The location is clean and I like that everyone gets their own personal bowl of broth. It would be great if they can do a split bowl with 2 broths but that's not an option here. Both the kimchi & sukiyaki broths were super tasty and aromatic; I particularly enjoyed the sukiyaki broth as it has some sweetness which goes well with the beef but the kimchi broth gave us a mild spicy option too. The buffet is super clean and offers everything from vegetables to dumplings to fish cakes to noodles to tofu and more! It's not as extensive as other shabu places I've been to but it's enough to satisfy you. The meats were all fresh; I particularly enjoyed the non-fatty beef and lamb. The chicken is a definite miss - the texture and color gets weird as you're essentially boiling slices of chicken. The real creativity comes at the sauce bar where you craft your own sauce for dipping into the meats. This was a pretty comprehensive selection; at least they had my favorites which were sesame sauce, hoisin, chili oil, soy sauce, and even fresh herbs like garlic, onion, cilantro. On the end other hand, the dessert options are pretty minimal. I tried the matcha/vanilla swirl and the mango sorbet. It was more of a palate cleanser to end on a sweet note. Overall, it was super filling, satisfying, and fairly healthy. Worth a visit if you're in the area!
First time experiencing hot pot. This place did not disappoint. Very clean. Very organized. Wait staff are attentive and come around to make sure you weren't In need of more broth. This place is also a byob. Plan ahead. Reasonably priced.
The pictures of the food look at little crazy, but that's entirely my fault. ShabuRo is my go-to hot pot restaurant, the options of food is diverse and fresh. The meat is high quality! The service is so sweet and attentive! My favorite place to go to!!
ShabuRo is honestly just the perfect all you can eat hot pot place. A huge selection of fresh veggies, quality meats, many different broths and sauces to choose from, and even soft serve ice cream. The all you can eat including meat costs around $30 and it's a couple bucks extra for the premium meats / seafood, which is a fair price if you are hungry and considering the quality of the ingredients. Plus, the all you can eat experience and picking all your favorite veggies yourself is a fun experience. The place itself is spacious with lively upbeat music for good vibes. The staff are friendly and attentive. There is also a decent sized parking lot outside, which is convenient. Overall, I really don't have any complaints about this place. It's not often you find hot pot that is this good and fun, not to mention an all you can eat place. If you are a hot pot fan in the area, ShabuRo is a must visit!
Great selection of vegetables, sauces, noodles and dumplings to cook! There was an array of broths to choose from for cooking, but the bowls are small to cook in. I would have liked if there were more premium meat options and if they can offer a separate bowl to cook the fish in so it isn't mixed w the meat water. The froyo station for dessert was a nice touch to end with.
Out favorite shabu place in Bergen county. Something so basically such as the sauce is better than anywhere else. Choice of the hot food isn't that great but I'm there to enjoy those. Just Great broth with lots of fish cakes and veggies. I love their tofu skin. I don't think anyone else has those
This shabu restaurant was my first hotpot try in NJ since I moved here. The waitress was nice and the crazy tomato broth was good. The reason for the 4 stars is because they didn't have certain sauces (chili oil/ponzu) and items (quail egg/lotus root) that I would normally get at other hotpot spots. Nevertheless, still a great spot to eat at and definitely worth a try.
This hot pot restaurant offers a fantastic family-style dining experience. Despite being busy at times, the wait to be seated is usually short. The food is consistently delicious and fresh, making it a top choice for hot pot enthusiasts You make a choice of the broth you want and then the meat with a HUGE selection of fresh veggies noodles and so much more. There's also a section to create your own sauces, which is abundant in selection. Then you end it with some yogurt or ice cream. Free parking I believe it's BYOB.

Stopped by ShabuRo for a quick dinner due to the high reviews and found it to be quite disappointing. We got a table fairly quickly but after ordering the first round of meats, our waiter went MIA. Plates were also brought out while I was getting veggies so I also did not know which plate was which. I also could not get the waiters attention to ask. They have a great selection of noodles, veggies and fishballs. Also a great sauce bar with ramen seasoning and an ice cream machine that had matcha flavor as an option. I spent extra to get the seafood and better meats but found selection and quality to be mediocre. Note that the clams are the giant ones which are a bit chewier. Some of mine had dirt inside so I ended up not eating it. Some of our meats had holes in them which seemed unusual and slices were pretty thin compared to other places we've been. Would most likely try another hot pot place in the are next time as we passed by several. Parking AYCE Sauce station Ice cream station Shared table Unattentive staff Bland broth Poor quality of meat Poor quality of seafood read more

We love hot pot and eat here once or twice a week. What keeps us coming back is knowing there's no MSG in the broth, which is crucial for me since I'm allergic and have an adverse reaction to it. The ingredients are always incredibly fresh, and the owner is consistently attentive to every detail. Recently, he even added a new sign to confirm that everything served here is of the highest quality. This level of care and commitment makes this our go-to spot for hot pot. read more

Really great hot pot place! Tons of meat veggie and side options available along with good selection of broths (my favorite is Chinese Mala). On top of standard hot pot, they offer drinks like bubble tea and smoothies (extra cost) + two different soft serve ice cream machines (included in AYCE). Highly recommend trying the vanilla and green tea swirl! Service was fast and efficient. Small restaurant but good for group of people. TIP: There's parking in the front and on the side. read more

Clean environment, with a large variety of food. The mala hot pot was not very spicy and our pots weren't refilled unless we asked. Food was good, though we both had stomach issues afterwards, so most likely won't be coming back. read more

ShabuRo hits the spot every time. I've been here 5-6 times and will keep coming back for the delicious soup bases and AYCE hot pot selection. The staff is very friendly and attentive, but most of the items you just get for yourself. I typically order the spicy mala base, which packs a good amount of heat along with incredible flavor. The ingredients are reliably fresh, with the basic hot pot including all vegetables, noodles, fish balls, fried foods, and more. You can pay extra for AYCE meat and seafood or order them a la carte too. There is also a large sauce bar where you make your own hot pot dipping sauces. The soft serve ice cream is always a nice touch after a meal! read more

I can't say I'm a fan of the broth. Spicy pork broth was lacking in flavor. The Mala is the best on the table yet it lacks spice. It was too salty not enough peppercorn and no sense of that tingly sensation we all come to know was sichuan flavor. Because the broth is such a main component the overall meal was average. However I do appreciate the veggie selection. You get to go up and serve yourself. A wide variety of fish balls, vegetables, tofu, noodles which I appreciate. If you have a sweet tooth theres soft serve ice cream of vanilla, green tea or mixed too! Yet all this does not bump up the experience to amazing. The time limit is enforced. By enforced I mean they'll give you a reminder 2-3x. If I were to eat hot pot again I would opt for a different establishment as I had better. read more
Shaburo never fails to fill you up with goodness. Be wary you'll prolly spend about 3 hours without even noticing. This place has always had full house before the pandemic. I'm glad to see this place is still popular than ever. Upon seating, order soup base and the prime fatty beef. I've tried almost all the soups; you can't go wrong with any of them. Head to the buffet of ingrediants. Afterward, head to the sauce bar. Their boba tea and smoothie menu has interesting selections. Mango ade 4/5 Peach ade 5/5 Don't forget dessert! There's soft serve ice cream on the way out. Parking may seem limited but there is a parking lot nearby. read more
A decent hot pot location, seems newly renovated, everything is shiny and closely. Plenty of seating available, didn't have to wait during Saturday lunch hours. Lots of parking around the restaurant too. They provide gloves and recommend wearing mask when picking ingredients from common area. They also have 90 minutes seating rule. The dine option is fixed price that includes all vegetables, fish balls and other common items. Meat/poultry/seafood need to be ordered separately, which are about $6-$10 per plate. They offer 8 different kind of broth. I was happy with items they had for unlimited option, plenty of vegetables, variety of fish balls, eggs, noodles and rice cakes. They also had vanilla and macha ice cream. The sauce station also has plenty of choices. I liked my spicy Dashi broth too. Compared to few other hot pot places I have been to, it felt smaller with less number of ingredients. I don't remember seeing any fruits for dessert. Not having unlimited meat option is another miss compared to my experience in other places. Overall a good hot pot location, service is excellent, plenty to eat. read more
Rating: 4.5/5 The host was incredibly accommodating for our group of 9 at 7 pm. At first, he said he could only do 6 + 3 at slightly diagonal tables, but my friends wanted to do 5 + 4 instead. He found tables for 5 + 4 far apart, as he "can't kick any customers out," but we got lucky, because a few minutes later, the table behind mine cleared, and our group was united. Parking spots in the back say "15 minute limit," but my friend asked the host, who told him that we could just park anyway. No idea why it's not anywhere on the menu but they DO have AYCE that includes meat. On a Friday night: Blue color is $29.99 Red + Blue color $32.99 The selection of stuff is great here--lots of choices for fish/meat balls, veggies and noodles including pumpkin noodles. The meats tasted delicious, though I'm not typically picky when it comes to meat. They have matcha and vanilla soft serve ice cream! For additional cost, there are other drinks, such as boba, available. Some cons: You have to be proactive, asking for waters and soup refills. Some of the meats also took a long time to come initially. Surprisingly, we were not asked for vaccination info. People also didn't wear masks when not seated at their table. There were table dividers, but pretty sure those don't do anything to combat COVID... read more
I crowdsourced on Reddit for a place to take my husband for his Birthday. We ended up coming here on a random Saturday night since it was so highly recommended. We arrived at 730, and waited about 40 minutes to sit. The manager was very friendly and the staff explained how to do everything since we had never been to a restaurant like this. We ordered ribeye, fatty beef, pork belly, shrimp, baby octopus, tripe and tendons. It was nice being able to go to the buffet and pick the veggies and sauces that we liked. Everything was super fresh and organized, and their kimchi was amazing! We gorged ourselves using the pork bone sauce which was recommended by the waiter. I should just taken my husband here on his birthday because he said it was one of the best meals he's ever eaten. Also the ice cream at the front was a nice touch. read more
ShabuRo is a small, Shabu place packed with fresh ingredients and enough space with convenience for everyone. If you love hot pot, enjoy fresh ingredients between the meats, vegetables and more in a small, quaint space- check this restaurant here. I have gone here a few times, this past Tuesday we went here after not coming for about two years ( between covid restrictions and then forgetting how much we were craving shabu until recently). It is as great and delicious as we have always remembered. The service was good and friendly, customers wear masks when getting the ingredients by the buffet and you have the option to use the disposable gloves from the box to pick the ingredients or use the tongs available at each section. Sauces selection ate closer to the front, even wider selection to add to your meal. The meats are thinly sliced, cooked quickly in the chosen stew you order. I had a vegetable broth. I'm a big fan of a variety of vegetables and noodles, it's great to know ShabuRo has a good selection. Parking is available in the front, the restaurant is located in small shopping center and parking is available out back too. Looking forward to being back next time! read more
I visited ShabuRo with a large group of people for dinner on a Friday night. The staff were very strict about when we could be seated and for how long as there is a 90 minute period. For many of us, this was our first hot pot experience, so it was definitely fun getting to cook our food at the table. There is a wall of add-ons for your pot which includes a vast amount of veggies, dumplings, noodles, and more. It was a vegetarian's dream given how many items there were to choose from and more importantly, tofu options. On the other hand, this is probably a Celiac's worst nightmare. Each selection of food has no designated tongs, many items were smooshed next to each other, so cross-contamination is highly probable. All of the tongs are hanging on a bar at the base of the stations, so you have no idea what it was used on. Not only is this applicable for things like noodles, but also for meat. If you would prefer separation, this is not the place to dine--it would be nice if things were spaced a bit more instead. They have a variety of broths available, including veggie. I added a significant amount of seasoning to mine, yet the blandness still lingered in the base. Overall, I'm glad I got to experience a new form of dining, but there's some room for improvement. read more
This is my first time having hot pot at ShabuRo. The all you can eat option is definitely worth it. There are different broths to choose from. You can also choose to order meats or upgrade to meats & seafood. In addition to the main, you can help yourself to unlimited veggies, noodles, etc. They have many sauces for you to choose from as well to add flavor to your meal. The only downfall is no one checked in on us and we wanted to order more food so we had to flag a worker down in order to put in more dishes. read more

Food: 5/5 Service: 5/5 Ambiance: 4/5 My favorite hot pot spot in jersey! They recently rolled out AYCE (including their premium options of protein). This place is always busy regardless what time it is, especially during winter times, expect to wait a little. They always have fresh selections of vegetables, fish balls, noodles! They have huge selections of condiments, you can mix and match however you'd like. It's fast paced, but somehow they manage to run this place smoothly. If you're in jersey, give this place a try read more

Is there seating for a party of 1?
Yes, absolutely. They have tables for groups of all sizes.
Is there private parking or is it street parking?
There's parking along the front of the restaurant and off to either side of the strip of stores next to it.
What is the largest group size that can be seated together? And do you accept reservations? Thanks!
10 people and no reservations. thanks.
What time is the change over from lunch to dinner?
Lunch ends at 3pm on weekdays. Thanks
If 1-2 people in a party of 4 order meat AYCE, does that mean everyone has to do the same or can certain people do meat a la carte still?
Hi. Thanks for your question. If there is a specific reason why some in your party cannot eat meats or seafood, then we can make exceptions. But I’m sure you can understand why we cannot normally allow AYCE to be mixed with a la carte orders. Hope…
I have a really weird question lol - how much would it be if I only want to come in for the soft serve ice cream (the matcha flavor in particular) ? I know it's a strange question but I'm asking in all seriousness!
We are so happy that you enjoy our homemade matcha flavor ice cream! However our ShabuRo ice cream is something we like to offer to our customers. A little cold deliciousness after enjoying our hot broth really completes the meal! We welcome you…
How does pricing work, is it all you can eat?
Yes. There are three options starting from $14.95 (weekday lunch) , $18.95 (weekday dinner , weekend). Call us whenever you need more details.
Do they do reservations or is it first come first serve?
We don't accept reservations. Thank you.
Are they back to ayce meat? Or still just ayce veggies and rice noodles/dumplings?
Meat is ala carte. With what is going on with cost of goods and wages, I highly doubt they will go back to AYCE everything. Still a great deal!
Did they open the buffet for you to get your own? Or they still give a sheet of paper and they bring the food ingredients on your table?
You can finally get whatever you want. Buffet restaurants operate as before as directed by the state.
How is delivery handled and how what?
How are they operating during covid?
Yes, they have been open during COVID for several months. They accommodate less people overall but the crowds are not there either. The bad thing is that you can't go up to get food and sauces anymore - you need to order from the table and mark…
How advisable is it to take children? Not infants, but elementary school age kids. Are there non hotpot options available?
Unfortunately, hotpot is the only choice on the menu. As long as children enjoy selecting their own choices of vegetable, meat, and sauce from the whole variety, it is a great fun place to take children. If you are are concerned about the "hotpot"…
How's the sushi?
I don't think there's sushi there. They have a seafood plate you can put in your soup though.
I have a question, you only pay 20.00 o you have to pay for the wroth?
Price of $12.95 (lunch), $16.95 (dinner) includes broth and all you can eat veggies, noodles and dumplings. Unlimited beef and seafood is $16.95 to $24.95. Hope to see you soon!
Do they still have the vegetables only price option for dinner? Or are the 20-ish options the only options now?
Yes we still offer the vegetable only option

Yes it is... liquor stores surround the restaurant... pretty convenient.
