    My friends and I were craving hotpot and decided to stop by Shabuya. The experience was fine, the staff was nice and attentive. I did notice that it felt like they had a smaller variety of options at the self service stations. I recall them having a lot more before and even appetizers... other than that, it was still a good experience for the price we paid. They are also running a special discount for after 8pm.

    Went to Shabuya for dinner. We were greeted at the door by a rude waitress. After standing for 5 minutes for unknown reason, she took us to a table that was not clean while there were many open tables. We ask "Can you please clean the table?", she replied with rude attitude and say someone will come clean it and just walked away. Maybe we were the one that shouldn't expect service from a bad managed restaurant. Will not go back anytime soon.

    First time here at Shabuya in Alhambra and this place was super fun. It is a hot pot all-you-can-eat spot which gives you 90 mins of dining. You first pick your broth and I had picked miso and then you go off to get your vegetables and seafood options. The beef and lamb you have to order from your server. But overall I liked it and it was a fun experience. Also celebrated my birthday here and it was nice. It was slightly busy but so tasty.

    Chicken karaage...ish

    Been coming to this Shabuya for years, even before the renovation. I finally noticed it had reopened after the remodel (which finished around November last year), so I stopped by today to see how everything turned out Overall, the layout and setup feel very familiar, which is a good thing. The selection is mostly the same, although I did notice a few side items are missing--sadly including some of my favorite noodles. The chicken karaage looks quite different from before, but it still tastes okay. Gyoza is now ordered directly through your server instead of being self-serve, which is a small change but worth noting As always, the meat remains the star of the show. The quality is consistently good, and that's really what keeps me coming back. The menu options have changed a bit, and they no longer separate certain items into dinner- or weekend-only menus. Prices have also gone up about $8 compared to before, but the quality has stayed consistent. The soup base selection is still solid, and you can even mix broths if you want to customize your hot pot experience The center island offers plenty of seafood options, including crab, squid, and shrimp, along with a good variety of vegetables and mushrooms. There were also orange slices available for a refreshing finish. Most items looked fresh, though a few seemed like they had been sitting out a little longer than others. Overall, everything was clean, well-maintained, and still good quality You can grab rice on the side and create your own sauce combinations at the sauce bar, which is always one of my favorite parts of hot pot Service can be a little slow at times, but whenever we needed something and flagged someone down, the staff was friendly and quick to help. The atmosphere is relaxed, with regular music playing rather than a themed soundtrack, making it easy to hold a conversation. The TVs were showing NBA games with subtitles, which was a nice touch for sports fans. And also it has free parking in the plaza Overall, it's great to see this location back in action. While a few things have changed, the quality meat, customizable broths, and wide selection still make it a solid spot for hot pot. Definitely a good place to stop by with friends or family when you're looking for a filling meal nearby!

    We came to Shabuya on a Friday late afternoon for an early dinner. It's an affordable AYCE shabu spot with a decent meat selection and a bar where you can plate additional seafood, veggies, and sauces. It was pretty empty at the time and service was pretty quick so no complaints on getting started with the meal. Ordering was pretty easy and the staff came by often to check on us in case we wanted to place more meat orders (our favorites were the beef belly and Wagyu!) Personally I really liked the sauce selection where there's plenty of options to mix and match to pair with different meats and veggies. Overall had a decent time here and may be back in the future!

    I was meeting up with my buddy and fellow Yelper Ryan L. and Shabuya was a spot where he could eat well and I can eat healthy. Regular Pricing after 3pm, weekends, and holidays are $33.99/person. For all of those who are not familiar with Shabuya. This is an all you can eat shabu restaurant. Each diner gets an individual hot pot with a soup base of their choice between original house soup, miso soup, tonkotsu pork soup, huo guo soup, sukiyaki soup, and vegetarian soup. You are able to order meats from the staff, including prime chuck tender, angus beef brisket, prime beef belly, us wagyu sirloin tip, angus top blade, natural pork belly, natural pork collar, free range chicken, and lamb. They have a buffet area that is self-serve with plenty of vegetables, seafood, noodles, popular accompaniments of hot pot, and a sauce bar. Staff was really friendly and attentive. They came throughout the night to ask us if we wanted more meats. They also have a great layout where even though it was busy, it didn't feel crowded. There was even TVs throughout the restaurants for the sports fans. I really enjoyed my meal here and wouldn't mind coming back.

    Solid spot for AYCE hotpot, been coming here on occasions here n there over the years. It's now $32.99 for AYCE dinner on weekdays and weekends which is decently affordable. Restaurant is pretty clean and very spacious. Tables are pretty big on the side and in the middle are table and chair type seating while the sides are one big table and sofa type seats. The meat selection for AYCE is sizeable, you can order 4 plates at a time, and they come out pretty quick. Soup base options are plentiful as well, but I opted for the original house special, but there are plenty of options as well. Since each person has their own pot, the options are endless. I particularly enjoy the fact that you can pace yourself as you go. Love the ramen noodle options here, fish balls, and veggies as well. Everything else is pretty standard compared to other AYCE hotpot spots. Overall, a pretty standard hotpot restaurant, pretty standard in food selections, price, and vibe overall. I'd say this is a decent spot for group hangouts, nothing stands out but also nothing to complain. Decent price for decent food.

    Stopped by on Friday, 01/16/26 to celebrate my boyfriend's early birthday and before my Asia Vacation trip the next day! This is my second time trying out Shabuya and my first time at this particular location. My boyfriend has been here numerous times and told me that this place was closed for a while and now they are back in business! $32.99 per person (after 3pm, weekends, and holidays). Also got one fountain drink for $2.99 and a draft beer (Modelo) for $8.99 with tax and $10 tip, the total cost was $92.85. I personally feel like this is worth the money because there are tons and tons of seafood options and mushrooms too! Next time, I would definitely take advantage by stopping by Monday-Friday from 11:30am-3pm for just $25.99 per person!

    Half and half broth we asked for less spicy but boy was it spicy

    We haven't been to this location in a couple years but finally came back last night. We were seated immediately which was nice, looked over the menu server was already asking what meats we wanted (felt very rushed) floors were extremely sticky which was a bit of a red flag since other reviews stated the same. The bar was filled with a lot of options I just wish they had more veggies like broccoli or carrots etc. the bathrooms needed some attention badly as well. once we slowed down on eating we had to find a server for our check (they had been coming every few minutes asking if we wanted more meat then once we said we were done after the last round no one came back) this place is really good but I'm not sure if we will be back anytime soon.

    I stopped by Shabuya for a late night dinner and was able to waitlist on Yelp easily. The menu is individual pot AYCE - you're able to mix broths or just choose a single one. Ordering was a little confusing. For my visit it appeared that you order everything but meat with the staff (no dedicated staff for your table) and order on your phone through a QR code for the meat. Meat came out relatively quickly and was good quality. There was a self serve area for veggies, sauces, and seafood. The appetizers were also pretty good.

    This place will hit the spot for your soup / meat cravings. Pick your broth soup base, choose your appetizers, then order your meat selection 4 at a time. Then grab a plate and load it up with the tons of selections to cook in your broth! Don't forget to make your sauce at the sauce station and if you want rice they have it there too. Drinks are separate from AYCE price. They have a young staff and they are quick with their service and the place has tvs when we went they were playing College Football Playoffs. They play good music so the vibes are flowing while having a good meal.

    Shabuya Alhambra was a great experience! The space is huge and has tons of seating and tables inside. I would say it's 2-3 times bigger than the OG location in k-town, and the wait is much shorter. Staff is quick and efficient here. We didn't wait very long for anything and were also allowed to order many meats up front. The induction stoves here are individual vs the shared split pot you get at the older location. I prefer this because the soup seems to heat up faster w a personal bowl. Overall we loved our dining experience and will choose this location over the Ktown location any day!

    The meat was so perfect, we came here for my daughter's birthday and the entire family ended up loving it!!! The employees were very helpful and patient. The restaurant itself is surprisingly big inside, and they have a large selection of items you can put in your hot pot, my dad especially is looking forward to going back! (Sorry only got 1 picture cause we were so busy chowing down!)

    First time at Boston Lobster on Lower Azusa Road and I was impressed!…read more I went with my son for a one-year-old's birthday party and somehow managed to arrive an HOUR late ‍. Thankfully, they were incredibly gracious and accommodating when we showed up. The food is served family style, so we got to sample a little bit of everything. The filet mignon medallions were delectable--tender, flavorful, and perfectly marinated. And the Lobster Noodles! This was my first time trying them and they absolutely delivered. The lobster was cut and fried in a way that made the meat tucked inside the shell really easy to get to, which made the whole experience so enjoyable. And that gravy... I was literally sucking on the lobster shell trying to get every last bit. So, so good. We also had a stir-fried green vegetable--possibly watercress--and it was delicious. Simple, savory, and cooked just right. I loved having something fresh and green alongside all the richer dishes. Great food, warm service, and such a fun meal to share with a group. I'll definitely be back.

The service is still great, the restaurant itself is decently clean and spacious. Sadly, the food just wasn't up to the standards I remember. Salt & Pepper Shrimp 3/10 - Poorly seasoned and lacking the crispiness I was expecting. The shrimp just didn't have much going for it. Mongolian Beef 4/10 - This was basically steamed beef with green onions. The dish lacked the caramelized, savory flavor I typically associate with Mongolian beef. Clams with Basil 5/10 - The flavor was decent, but the clams did not taste particularly fresh, which really took away from the dish. Pan-Fried Pork 2/10 - Unfortunately, this was my least favorite. The pork didn't taste fresh, and the texture made it feel like it had been fried twice. The normally flavorful sauce it came with was also extremely bland. I'm actually very glad I came during lunch and paid lunch prices for these dishes. If I had paid dinner prices, I would have been extremely disappointed. The food from my previous visits weren't extraordinary, but at least it was "okay". However, after this visit, I have officially taken this restaurant off my rotation. I won't be returning.

The place was fairly quiet when I arrived, but it picked up as my meal went on. The space is really well put together: nautical theme, interesting art, and lots of natural light from the windows balanced by dark wood furniture. You can watch the chefs cook from the dining area, and the long full bar has a great layout. They also had Sunday football on two TVs, which was a nice touch. It kept things casual without feeling too fancy or too much like a sports bar, just a great vibe for an afternoon of football and a good meal at the bar. The bartender made the experience even better. She was attentive, friendly, easy-going, and engaging, and she was quick, too. You can tell she genuinely likes her job. I'd checked the menu beforehand and spotted the mussels and fries. I love both, so I had to try it. The portion is big enough to share, but it works as an entrée if you're hungry. The fries come topped with a truffle garlic mayo, and the mussels arrive steaming hot in a delicious broth. You choose your spice level, and I went spicy. It was perfect, with plenty of heat that never buried the flavor of the broth. I usually only trust mussels near the ocean, but these were cooked perfectly and won me over. The pairing with fries is one I never would have imagined, and it works. If you like garlic, you'll love the broth. As the mayo melts in, it turns creamy and almost looks like a tomato bisque, seasoned to perfection with a flavor I've never had before. Even soaked in broth, the fries stayed crispy. One tip: I finished everything and still had a lot of broth left. My bartender offered bread for dipping, but I was too full and didn't know it was an option. Next time I'll save room or ask for bread right away. I also tried the seasonal spiked apple pie cocktail, with a cinnamon-sugar rim and a cinnamon stick garnish. It was flavorful without being overpowering, the kind of drink you could easily have more than one of. I'll be thinking about this dish until I'm back, which will probably be soon. I'm dying to try the mac & cheese topped with hot Cheetos, plus a few other things on the menu. Highly recommend!

They are known for: Special Lobster (A+) Beef Loc Lac (A) Clams with spicy sauce (A+) Chinese broccoli (B+) - depends on how thick or thin it is Pea shoots with garlic (A) Eggplant (A) Yang Chow fried rice (A) Reservations are highly recommended either by calling or thru Yelp. There are private rooms in the back on request if you have a larger party and seafood is always fresh as they have an aquarium with lobsters, crab, geoduck, and fish. The decor is charming with vintage trinkets along the side of the wall. There is a waiting area by the lobby and restrooms in the back of the restaurant. Since it gets so crowded and busy the restrooms could be tended better. Parking is available on the street otherwise you have to valet on the lot.

    Honestly, what's great about coming here is their set menu, which is very helpful if you have…read moredecision paralysis and come with a big group. But as for the food itself, the standouts would be the fried shrimp and the lobster. The shrimp is perfectly fried and I enjoy how soft the shell is. I like the lobster alot too. I personally prefer the way it's prepared at Henry's, but Newport's is still pretty decent. For the most part, the food is overloaded with MSG. Each time I've gone or taken food to go, I feel massively dehydrated after that I get a headache if I don't drink enough water. Luckily the staff was pretty on top of refilling our waters, and they often switched out our plates for clean ones. We've been going for years, and they used to allow substitutions for the set menu. But on a recent visit, this didn't seem like it was a thing anymore.

    One of my favorite Vietnamese food places. Sometimes I come here for the coconut snails, sometimes…read moreI come here for the soup, sometimes I come here for the beer with some shrimp, most times, I get everything all at once. Of all the Vietnamese sour soups we've had, this place was the best. It is like a savory version of a lemonade, where the sourness and sweetness is extremely intense, but perfectly balanced. I've tasted all sort items from this restaurant, from quail, to frogs, to snails, to cat fish, and everything has been executed to maximize the taste of the ingredient and sauce. Fish dishes would first be soft, flakely, moist, buttery, and then after the textures, you get hit with the intensities of the sauces. In French cuisine, sauce is king, and Vietnamese food is often times a blend of native and French techniques. This place's food quality punches well beyond it's patronage. I'm frankly surprised how empty this place is, and often times, I avoid writing reviews for my FAVORITE places, because after a review from me, the place gets crazy crowded and the prices go up. Unfortunately, this review is written post mortem. I do hope that this place can re-open someday. Until then, this place has set the bar for me, for all Vietnamese restaurants going forward. Will miss this place.

    Sáu Can Tho is honestly such a gem. Truly sad to see it close its doors. I feel like Vietnamese…read morerestaurants like these are difficult to find in the SGV. We ordered the clams, baked catfish, lotus root salad and the goat tenderloin. All the food here is absolutely delicious. The baked catfish is tender, buttery and flavorful. The baked catfish came with rice paper and veggies to wrap the fish in. The clams and lotus root salad were well seasoned and tasted fresh. The goat tenderloin was super tender and flavorful. Not too gamey either. Service was excellent. Our servers were extremely attentive and always made sure we had everything we needed. There is plenty of seating in the restaurant but we made a reservation for the catfish to make sure that we had the chance to try it before they sold out. Going to miss this place!
