Amazing Hot Pot Experience! Absolutely loved this hot pot spot in LA! The food was fresh, flavorful, and there were so many great options to choose from. The broth was delicious, the ingredients were high quality, and everything came out fresh and perfectly portioned. The staff was also super friendly and attentive, which made the whole experience even better. It's the perfect place to come with friends or family, especially if you're looking for a fun meal where everyone can customize their own pot. Definitely one of the better hot pot experiences I've had in LA. Great food, great service, and a great atmosphere. Highly recommend checking this place out! you won't be disappointed! The owner is from Thailand and man the hospitality was superb. They even gave us to try so bomb crispy rice. Will be coming back asap! read more

If you're looking for the perfect late-night spot, this is it. This place only opens at night, offering a unique "Lounge" concept that sets a fantastic vibe for a relaxing meal. The sushi and rolls are absolutely incredible--not only are they beautifully presented like works of art, but the flavors are also spot-on with fresh, high-quality ingredients. It's the perfect place to unwind with great food in a cool, sophisticated setting. Highly recommended if you're out and about in Hollywood at night! #HollywoodEats #LateNightDining #SushiLounge #HiddenGem #HollywoodNightlife read more

Amazing food and great service here! Came for the soft opening tonight, was super impressed with the meat quality, the soup was flavorful, and the chef treated us to a complementary dish, such a warm welcome! If you're hungry and in the area, stop by Shabushi, it's really great! read more

I love it here. The food is delicious, and the prices are reasonable. The murals on the walls are so cute! Restaurant service across Thai Town is generally acceptable. I come for the food and don't expect to be wowed by service. Not many shabu places offer the variety or quality of broth that suits my palate like this one does. I've tried four different broths so far and liked them all. Their coconut ice cream and green tea are made in-house -- you can really taste the freshness. My friend is head over heels for their waffle and ice cream. The waffles are served warm, with a texture that's not too hard or too soft -- just the right crunch, balanced with a smattering of sliced strawberries. Presentation is A+, and the portion is generous enough to be a full meal, so don't forget to save room for dessert! read more

Guys, don't be fooled. It's bad. Really bad. The rating fooled me into coming here. Meat quality is terrible - there are a few premium options, and they are just as bad. The sauces are bad. The soda machine doesn't work. (Soda cans are there for show, they don't actually sell them.) I think they used to have sushi, but I didn't see any on the menu - which makes the name misleading. It's not cheap either, so I don't understand the draw. The only thing I enjoyed was the painting of this cat on the wall. Pros: good place to have hot pot for the first time if you want to start at the absolute bottom of the spectrum and work your way up from there. Cons: everything is bad here. Everything is bad. read more

Such a fabulous deal! Have been here a few times now and I absolutely love the Thai soup broths... the Spicy Tom Yum broth. And wow- what a deal for both lunch and dinner. The All You Can Eat is fantastic. You also get fountain drinks and dessert! We definitely had to save room for the waffle and got to get two ice creams flavors. read more

Update: went back after two years as it was a rainy day and have to say... it was definitely my last time. The server was nice this time but everything looks so sloppy. The biggest problem: everything tasted and smelled like soap. At first I thought it was my spoon, but then I tried different spoons and bowl. I don't think they rinse their dishes. The metal utensils they brought out in a metal jar with water at the bottom smaller like it. Also both broths: miso and Thai. They don't have bone broth today. My did the right thing by staying at home. She just wanted tomato soup with grilled cheese. She was not gonna give these guys another chance. I'm so bummed read more

Truly horrible. Shabu Shabu is one of our favorite meals and to go to one that is so wildly awful was disappointing to say the least. The decent meats are all additions that cost 5.00 on top of the menu base rate. The back of house was a disaster, piles of dirty dishes, rotting vegetables and toilet paper stored on top of condiments. Joon in Glendale still reigns supreme. Avoid this place if you can read more

There was a roach on our table!!! After notifying the staff they didn't do anything about it just said they just sprayed the restaurant so they must be swarming out. At this point appetite was gone. read more

Peculiar place. Lots of things were unavailable from the menu, could not get any seafood because we were only two people (that isn't how ayce is supposed to work). I don't think I'll be back. read more

The meat quality is fine. The self service bar was horrendous. All the vegetables had gone bad. I even saw mold on the raw onions. And the vegetables were not getting stocked and most were more than half empty. We asked for rice and our server told us they had none. Instead they had to cook it from scratch. 40 minutes later, it was never ready for us! Our server was really nice though. By the way, they don't serve sushi anymore, despite how it advertised. read more

OMG! Was this place was a phenomenal last minute find! We all couldn't stop talking about how good the food was! Super fresh, delish and all you can eat for $35 (heck of a deal)! We've never been to such a place, so at first we were a bit lost on how it all worked, but the servers were very helpful, with genuine smiles and kindness; plus, they were very attentive to our needs and requests! I'd recommend that if you're a party of 4+ like we were, to ask to sit in the middle section, as there was lots of space, and each person has their own burner to cook their veggies and meats as they see fit! My daughter and her husband kept talking about how they're definitely going back, making a staple of theirs to go to! Next time my wife and I fly in, we'll be right there with them! Cheers! read more

I love this place! Service is amazing, food quality is great, and it was such a lovely experience. I had the SHABU SHABU but everything looked so delicious! I'd definitely come back again. ENJOY! PS: Parking lot is not big, but it can get crowded! read more

food is good, the soup base tastes very special, it would be so great if they have more options on vegetable. service is super nice, everyone has bright smile. the ambiance was quite quiet, only few ppl there, maybe we were a little bit late for dinner.^_^ read more

First I'd like to start by saying I've been a local regular for years. Hotpot is such a delight and joy. I'm happy to confirm their price for dinner is back to $28 which is fantastic value. However, the service and experience was not what it used to be. I've been a waiter and manager of restaurants in my younger years, so I understand to an extent. I'll just lay the facts for you. My party of 4 sat at 8:30, we were not pre warned that the kitchen closes at 9:10. The establishment closes at 10pm. The bulk of our first order arrives at the table around 8:50. The check was dropped at 9:30 and told we needed to settle immediately, we were literally only half way through our meal. At 9:45 we were sternly reminded that they close in 10mins... check the math on that. We were not able to finish our meal. There was 1 waiter and 1 kitchen staff. We were 1 of 2 tables during the entire meal. Which the second table sat down just shortly after us. It was evident we all had the same experience. I would very much love to see this place bounce back as I have seen it do before. I understand needing to find the balance of profit and sustainability. But I fear that we may be in Shabushi's final days. read more

we were so excited to try this place after hearing that they offer ayce sushi and shabu but left very disappointed. we ordered from the premium menu and tried almost everything but nothing stood out in a positive way for us to come back.. + extensive menu from rolls, raw meat and lava cake desserts + most of the shabu meats were good + delicious matcha lava cake -everything else besides shabu meat was mediocre -nigiri was all fishy -veggie section is so unsanitary and not kept clean (there were only two rings to pick from the veggie cart and all the veggies were mixed in containers) ~Service: ok service, nothing too special ~Cost: $28/pp for basic or $35/pp for premium ~Parking: limited plaza parking read more

It's our second time at ShaBuShi and this time we brought more family. They just opened on a weekend morning and not all the broths were available (half star off). Our fave broth tasted like Tom yum soup! The all you can eat Shabu Shabu with sushi was a great deal for the money! There were so many meats, toppings, sauces, etc to choose from. For the entry price point, there's limited sushi selection if you like to order more sushi, choose the higher price point. The waiters checked often to see if we want more meats or if the soup gets too hot. The place is tiny so go during off peak hours. There's parking at the strip mall it's on. read more

came here right when it opened at 5pm on a sunday because we wanted to beat the rush and we were the first ones in. after a while, it started getting busy so imagine there would be a wait on fri/sat nights. the shabu shabu is definitely the star of the show compared to the sushi. while the meat quality is a bit subpar, you can't beat the variety here when you include the sushi. the shabu shabu $35 option also gives you seafood which would cost $35 alone at non-ayce places. the sushi is overall pretty mid - we ordered a few pieces and decided to stop ordering sushi since it wasn't worth filling our stomachs with. some other things i did like were the chawanmushi (steamed egg) and crispy tuna rice. the sauces were also delicious and i love how they provide a bunch of minced garlic. my absolute favorite thing here was the brownie and vanilla ice cream you get to choose at the end. i was so full but devoured the whole thing. read more

I've never had thai hot pot before and I think this was such a treat! I came with 2 other people so we got to get 4 different flavors of broth. ended up getting pork bone, tom yum, truffle and cheese, and the asian chim chum. My two favorites was the asian chim chum and the tom yum. Those both had the most flavor, the truffle and pork bone was "bland" which isn't bad at all, because you add the sauce for more flavor! We ended up doing premium, which adds on premium meats, as well as premium add-ons like the egg (AMAZING) and the tartare and carpaccio. Both were excellent! You also can get the seafood which was yummy. They have less amount of self-serve items, but I think they make it up for the quality of the meats. Plus, there wasn't anything that I wanted and wish they had. I'm sad that this place is so out of the way in hollywood, but if i'm ever even remotely in the area, id recommend it! read more

If price is important to you then this is one of the most affordable AYCE shabu places to my knowledge. Quality of meat is okay; soups tasted like artificial flavors. Vegetable selections were good; spices/sauces were just okay. Small place and not so clean. Only one server was working when we were there on a Saturday lunch. She worked her best but it seems she was a bit overwhelmed. Again, great value, but you get what you pay for. read more

You guys, how come no one told me about Shabu! I feel like I've been missing out for years. Honestly we were in Thai Town for some Thai food but ended up coming here when our regular place was closed. Best decision ever! We tried the all you can eat menu and let me tell you hunny, we ate! Everything was delicious, and this is coming from a girly who doesn't regular enjoy soup. The ingredients where fresh, the variety was vast, and the combination endless. The staff is friendly and they explained to our group how to the menu and cooking worked. The place was quiet and relaxed, just people eating and enjoying each others company. I can't wait to return! read more

I'm a shabu-shabu FIEND and I do not discriminate against AYCE shabu. ShaBuShi has been on my bookmarks since I moved to Los Feliz because I needed something to fill the hole that was left when I moved away from Orange County. I tried Shabuya in Ktown, which was delicious, but it was pricey. Finally tried ShaBuShi and I had no regrets! It was so good I had it two days in a row hahaha. The veggie bar is slim, but it has all of the necessities (broccoli, carrots, bok choy, chrysanthemum leaves, and button mushrooms. The only thing I wish they had was enoki mushrooms! The meats were plentiful and I really love the cuts they use. The slices range from thin to medium thickness, but all of the slices have been really tender. Their sushi is also really fresh! The spicy tuna roll is hand chopped - Crazy for an AYCE spot. What stands out to me is the option for both Japanese or Thai style broths and sauces. I love sukiyaki and tom yum so I'm glad I got to satisfy both of those cravings. And then they have these really yummy sukiyaki and seafood sauces at the sauce bar. Their goma is okay, but I'm pretty picky about my goma. This is a great AYCE hot pot place if you're not looking for anything too fancy, but it gets the job done. One of my favorite places to eat now! read more

Small, no frills ayce spot that had the core meats and sides options plus decent sushi options. If you're picky about your meats, sides, or sushi rolls this probably isn't the place for you but if you're ready to enjoy good broths and efficient service and decent meat options for a low aye price then this is your place! Always enjoy a good small business and definitely will continue to support!! read more

Menu completely different Then what's online. No sushi at all which is crazy since it's on the front window. Still gave it a chance sadly. The waiter gave use wrong meats, seafood, and pork we didn't want. Simple rice and forks requests took 60 minutes while asking for it over 6 times. It smelled pretty bad, also the "veggie and sauces you can get by yourself" was 80 percent empty the whole time we were there. Will never be back, and let the family know to never come here. read more

Would def go back! Loved how the veggies were self serve along with sauces. Meat came quickly. Service was slightly slow but not horribly.

The price is amazing for what you get. $22 for 3 courses! It's so much food, and it's amazing! Love that you get to choose your own veggies and sauces! They have Thai chili's!!!! Love it Highly recommend this. read more

We were in the area for an event, and decided to have hotpot afterwards! This is a buffet style AYCE hotpot-- you choose your broth and place meat orders with the staff. The sushi, veggies, toppings, noodles, sauces, etc. are at the buffet and you can grab them as needed. It's a pretty small restaurant, but their broths are super flavourful and the pricing is incredibly affordable!!! Will definitely come back if I'm in the area again and am craving hot pot. read more

Service was fine the only thing that made this place a once star was the food for me and the options. There was a self serving bar however the options are extremely limited. Also before visiting this place we reviewed the menu online and it definitely needs updating there are several things that they no longer serve like the sushi. Also ordering mechanism is confusing, when we ordered we were asked if we wanted grill and hot pot or just hot pot and although we agreed to both upon serving the hot pot we asked about the grill portion and we were denied for that option after. read more

I was beyond thrilled with this Shabu place! All you can eat, everything was delicious, it was clean, staff were so polite, I loved it! Prices are SO low compared to most shabu places, especially since it's all you can eat! 100% will be back! Oh ya, $10 beer pitcher during happy hour!!!! read more

Service: We ordered some gyozas and it took a while for it to come and when it did, they gave us the wrong quantity even after confirming how many pieces we wanted. Towards the end of the night, the server told us to sign the bill and add gratuity. We asked the server if the gratuity was already included and they told her no but as she looked at the bill again, it was already included. Food: There was no ice for the day. All the broths that we tried were very bland and the food was low quality. The sushi rice was not great and the quality of the fish was bad. The seafood platter came in frozen and we can only ordered ONE for table. read more

No longer AYCE. Only one person was waiting tables and one cook when I went. It was not too busy, so I guess it was alright. Still our food took some time. They didn't have some items on their menu. The various food items the people around me had seemed yummy. No one seemed to be complaining about the service, so perhaps this is normal. It's a small place in a small shopping center. Parking is limited. My son and "comadre" ordered juices. They seem yummy. The ShabuShabu smelled good. They messed up my order. Big sigh. I had been working on giving them 4 stars. I then brought them down to two. I ended up giving them 3, because there is no 2.5. Bottom line, if you come here and there are only two people, be ready to wait for your food and expect them to get it wrong. read more

It is a nice place for lunch or dinner, meat quality is ok, not the best not the worst. The vegetable bar was very limited, no lemon or lime, and many other vegetables. Sauces bar was very limited too. Customer service was good and fast. The place was clean and organized. Parking was free and kind of easy. I would go back again. Thank you so much. read more

My family and I are fond of hotpot/shabu-shabu and KBBQs and a friend of my daughter suggested this place. Glad we tried this place! We asked Pan (the waitress) on what broth we should try aside from spicy tom yum amd we followed her other suggestions. There are choices for the AYCE (like $28, $35, and $50 per person). Aside from the hotpot, there is also sushi offerings. Additionally, oolong and milk tea is just $2.55 and there a lot of other choices for drinks. There is a buffet table where you get vegetables like cabbage, bok choy, tofu, fish and lobster balls and a lot more plus sushi. Customer service is good! Pan is friendly and attentive to our needs. We will definitely come back. Parking can be a hassle since it is a strip mall. read more

The staff used to be so good here, not anymore. The service was horrible and the waiter that served us incredibly rude. They also tried to deny my service animal. Food quality is sub par, you can go down the street and get much better Shabu with way friendlier service for less. Save yourself the headache read more

1st time here at almost 9pm i and my bf choose the highest price for all you can eat. I walk to the sushi bar and the food is almost nothing on the cool bar and look a little but messy. Good point is the broth is good and variety choices to choose. Sushi set was just ok but i wanna say that the squid in the set is not fresh and i have to cook it instead of eating it raw. Meat quality is not special if i compare to Korean bbq meat. I like Thai seafood dipping sauce so much and sesame sauce is good too. I wish they have more varieties of vegetable since i like it in the broth. Service is great but seems like workers are always busy with limited employee per shift. read more

As someone who's been to many shabu shabu restaurants, I have to say Shabushi did not meet my expectations. I ordered the premium all you can eat for $35, which sounded reasonable looking at the offerings on the menu. However, ordering the premium items such as Wagyu yukke and wagyu tataki, was surprisingly bad. Meat did not seem fresh (which is a must when offering raw) and there was no flavor. We had to cook it like shabu shabu. The quality was also far from the real wagyu. Just stick with the $29 lunch if you decide to come. read more

First time customers. We came here with no expectations. Service was prompt and courteous and the server we had was informative and polite. He gave us the run down on how to read the menu/ order and informed us what the kitchen was out of. Meat quality was great; and we tried 4 different broths and all were phenomenal. Self serve bar with beverages and veggies was fully stocked and the sushi and other delectable bites were delicious! Our server informed us about last call and double checked if we wanted more meat as we had forgotten to include that on the last order. Overall I would recommend this place and will definitely return here for a date night or birthday! read more
