    Just Us @ ShabuRo
    Chris E.

    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).

    toppings
    Michelle Y.

    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.

    AYCE options
    Yuna C.

    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.

    Kimchi & Sukiyaki broths with beef, lamb, & chicken (included in AYCE ~$34/person)
    Aya E.

    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.

    Amanda G.

    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!!

    All you can eat premium hot pot
    Stephen L.

    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!

    Vegetable station
    Tanya A.

    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.

    Jane M.

    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

    Shaburo first spread
    Jennie H.

    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.

    Stephanie F.

    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.

    Ask the Community - ShabuRo

    Do you have gluten free options?

    Yes

    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!

    Which north's are vegan?

    We have VEGETABLE broth

    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

    Is it byob?

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

    How much is per head lunch dinner? Wkday ,wken?

I found out much later that the owner was the one actually serving and cooking for us. We were able to walk in with a party of ten on labor day. Super accommodating staff, owner knows what he's doing. Never caught his name unfortunately We ordered 4 different combos and dude was able to cook for all of us at the same time. Everyone left stuffed and I even had leftovers for the next day. I didn't get to eat everything but here's what I tried. The duck combo, pork combo, nayengmen (cold noodle I butchered the spelling I know sorry) and corn cheese. They don't do the brisket sauce like they do in la. Instead I think it was a mixture of miso and vinegar? With onions soaking in it. Paired perfectly with the pork. I've never had anything like it before. The thin cut pork belly was probably my favorite out of all the pork. The marinated duck combo was pretty interesting. It kinda felt like a ttkekbokki dish? But a little light on the rice cakes. The duck itself tasted like some really good charcuterie. It was a little too spicy for me but super good. We ended up opting to throw everything into the fried rice at the end and it made for some perfect late night leftovers that I'm enjoying as I write this review. Lovely place, hope they do well.

We got seated right away with reservation on Friday night. Very nice and generous spread of banchan. Ordered short ribs noodle soup, hot stone rice with bulgogi, braised short ribs and seafood pancake. Everything was delicious! When we were just wondering if we had ordered kimchi fried rice when it was brought to our table, the waitress found out that it was a mistake and decided to give it to us for free. Great service! Staff was friendly, service was quick and prices were comparable to other restaurants in the area. Would definitely come back to try its BBQ!

    The day of the visit to Q Grill was for a solemn reason as we were gathered for repass. It was my…read morefirst visit with my family, and we were welcomed in an usher to a special section towards the back with pre-determined menu to choose from. There as one older waitresses in particular, whose name I did not catch, but she was exceptional in her service -- to not just our section, but to everyone. She seemed to understand well how to cater to the restaurant patrons, taking into consideration that we were grieving a loss of a family member/friend. The food was excellent. The "banchan" side dishes were fresh and savory with continuous refills. They provided us with appetizer of the two types of "jeon"s - when was seafood and one was kimchi. I ordered the super sized "galbi tang" (갈비탕 - Short Rib Soup). I say "super sized" as it's quite larger in quantity than any I have ever had in any restaurant! . They had already pre-sorted the meat from the bones which usually are included in this particular dish. The amount of meat was incredibly abundant and absolutely savory and soft to chew. The meal was so big that I packed most of it to go and it sealed up almost to the top of a quart container! Other guests tried the "oohguhgi galbi tang" (Short Rib Cabbage Soup - 우거지 갈비탕) and "bibimbap" (Mixed Rice with root vegetables - 비빔밥) which looked delicious and ample in quantity as well. The restaurant is located off-shot from Lemoine Avenue In Fort Lee (soon after you cross Main Street) and turn into their driveway right before Charim Restaurant/Paris Baguette Cafe. Parking is plenty for free and the entrance has stairs and ramps for wheelchair/walkers. The bathroom is to your left as soon as you enter the restaurant. The ambiance is elegant and clean. Service is prompt and courteous (with exception to one younger waitress who was a bit curt and ignore requests but the older waitress I mentioned prior really saved the day! ). The managers were professional and helpful in directing the guests to the right places. Overall experience in food and service was 4.8/5.0. Q Grill was recently named top 10 KBBQ spots in NJ/NY. Will definitely visit and enjoy their other menu selections!

It's a small shop with few seatings and tables. It's street parking for the most part. Once inside i can tell that it was authentic Korean restaurant as there were other korean customers and all the signs and decorations were in Korean language. The owner came out and took our order We got a spicy octopus plate, soy marinated crabs, and scallion pancakes. They offer side dishes first which is a common practice in Korean restaurants. The side dishes were all flavorful and looked like home made pickled veggies and kimchis. Scallion pancakes had lots of seafood and was tasty. Spicy octopus plate was ok a stone plate and its got nice char and crispy rice at the bottom with spicy and sweet octopus. The soy marinated crabs were flavorful but was difficult and messy to eat because the you have to de shell the crab and doesn't have a lot of meat. The owner also gave us egg dish complimentary which was a nice gesture. It was kind of like an omelet. Service was good and owner was nice. Overall it seems like a good authentic Korean restaurant in the area. Was not too crazy about the soy marinated crabs but i'm sure it's of standard. I'm glad i got to try the dish though. Good place to go if you like soy marinated crabs.
