Today after the rain was a good time for some hot pot! Shabuya never disappoints. They keep the buffet area very tidy and the servers were constantly checking on us asking if we wanted more meat. They were always very courteous. But times must be rough for some people because the table next to us finished their meal (judging by the stacks of empty plates and a few untouched ones) because they started telling a server that they were not served real beef. They demanded to speak to a supervisor and declared that they were going to write a bad review and never coming back again. Were they looking for a free meal? Because clearly they had no problem with the meat during the meal. But the staff managed to de-escalate the situation. I hope these people don't come back. Who needs customers like these? So after the dinner and show, we warmed our bellies and headed home. Until next time, Shabuya. read more

This is shabu shabu done right! There are several broths you can choose from but I opted to go for miso. It was so rich, comforting and savory and after I was done with the majority of the toppings I got, my broth thickened into a delicious miso paste that was SO! GOOD!!! I've been craving it since I last visited Shabuya has a lot of toppings to choose from. There's a fair variety of meats, seafood, noodles and plenty of veggies to choose from. There's also plain white rice you can indulge in that's included in the price you pay (the rice cooker is on the righthand side of the restaurant) I recommend it for sure. It's good comfort food, especially on a chilly day read more

Pretty good!! Was here when it first opened. Returned a few times after. The most recent visit was nice. The wait wasn't long on the weekend. Dinner/weekend price was decent for the quality. They even included one Wagyu in the meat selections. We ordered a variety of meats. They allowed up to 5 orders each time. The seafoods, veggies, and sauces were self serve. The buffet area could be a bit more organized and clean. It was also difficult to reach for some of the items. I haven't had Sukiyaki broth in a while. It was so good lol I like how the meats here were thinly sliced. Did I mention that they even offered lamb. Yum! Soft drinks not included in the price. They do offer free barley tea =] Service to place orders was a bit slow. Meats were delivered quickly. Will be back =] read more

Came here late at night as a party of 3! **ATMOSPHERE** I appreciate that they have plenty of tables and stay open super late, making this a convenient spot for late-night hot pot cravings. My biggest complaint was the ventilation. It was HOT inside! I'm used to hot pot restaurants being practically ice-cold to compensate for the heat from the boiling pots, so this was a bit uncomfortable. **FOOD ** The hot pot was solid! Nothing particularly stood out, but they had all the popular vegetables, carbs, and meats you'd expect. I especially love a self-serve sauce bar, and having one is always a plus. **OVERALL** I'd come back because it's a solid hot pot spot, especially for late-night dining. However, I did deduct a star because it was uncomfortably hot inside. Better ventilation would make a big difference! read more

I have heard good things about Shabuya for a while and have been curious. I finally stopped by with my family here for dinner recently. Ordered -Soup Base: original house soup, miso soup, tonkatsu pork soup, and huo guo soup. -Meat: prime chuck tender, angus beef brisket, prime beef belly, US wagyu sirloin tip, and angus top blade. My favorite was the angus top blade. It was the best in terms of softness and not super fatty. -Starter comes with the AYCE and I only tried the chicken karaage. It does not come out fresh, as it's not hot/warm, there are sections of the chicken karaage that are a bit on the chewier side. Overall, staff came by frequently to ask if you wanted to order more meat and to clear the empty plates of meat. You are allowed to order 4 plates of meat each time. The food bar area where you go and grab all your veggies, noodles, rice, etc. I felt like it was small and the options were not as much as All that shabu. They have ice cream cups from Ace Creamery but you have to pay extra for it. Fountain drinks are also an additional charge. I feel like although my overall experience was good, it was not enough to wow me for me to come back. I would say it's worth a try if you have not been before and like to try new spots. Tips: *Shared parking lot with other businesses (Baskin Robbins, Dollar Tree, etc.) *Credit card accepted. *Restroom available. *Casual attire. *Alcohol served. *They have multiple locations. *AYCE is limited to 90 mins. *Kids price for 4-10years old, anything after that age threshold is considered adult price. *Indoor seating only read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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! read more

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! read more

My family ate here a couple months ago and the price is pretty expensive for what you get. The quality of the beef isn't the best I've had for the price. Service wise, the servers weren't too professional with their commentary, but they did their jobs. They also didn't check on our table very much. We still tipped 15%. Not too bad overall, but I don't think this is better than Haidilao or Yintang. I really loved the wide selection of veggies. The broth was pretty good too. Probably won't come back, but it was nice when this place first opened. The restaurant is pretty spacious. The vibe is similar to most Korean bbq restaurants. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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! read more

Birthday celebration with a 4:30 pm reservation on Thursday, October 22. Half of the restaurant's tables were uncleared from earlier diners with no one even attempting clean the tables. The food at the buffet was picked over with no one replenishing the containers that were half empty. The huge rice cooker had but a thin layer of dried out rice. After an hour, at 5:30, a crew appeared to bus dishes, clean the tables, and restock food items at the food bar. But by that time, we were about done with our meal. Then, to add insult to injury, the women's bathroom was filthy and in shambles. Toilet paper strewn on the floor. Two of the toilets were not flushed. So much for a happy birthday celebration-- more like a very unhappy birthday dinner. What an embarrassment for the guest of honor. read more

Shabuya is easily one of my go-to spots in the SGV when I'm craving hot pot. They never miss. From the moment you walk in, the space feels clean, modern, and perfect for group dinners or casual catch-ups. Their AYCE menu is stacked with rich, flavorful broths, self serve bar with fresh veggies and other seafood along with their high-quality meats. The beef options are always tender, and everything cooks perfectly in your own pot, which Love tor customizing every bite.

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. read more

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. read more

The renovations didn't make a difference and they clearly are understaffed at this location. The place is pretty filthy with the floors being sticky and the restrooms are dirty as well. The price for a Friday-Sunday meal is around $35 ayce. The service is not good at all. I've been here twice and they always forget your requests for simple things such as napkins and water. The food quality is just alright, nothing special. Overall: I wouldn't recommend coming here to eat at this location specifically. read more

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. read more

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! read more

FYI they are reopen now and 25% off till Friday, with free soft drinks. It's their soft opening so things were a little bit figuring stuff out but overall a solid AYCE place.

Check it out this week! read more

Great AYCE Hotpot Spot! Has a self-service vegetable, seafood, fish ball, multiple types of noodles to choose. Great selection, the only thing you'd wish for is a bigger plate to keep stacking more toppings to add in the hotpot! Only downside was when attempting to grab from the buffet bar, some items in the farther back were hard to reach even with the tongs . I didn't feel like pressing my face against the glass, so I opted for another topping instead ): Other than that, vegetables were very fresh and a great addition to my flavorful pot! Large selection of sauces too & the buffet area was very spacious. This place has plenty of seating and a clean interior. Seems like a good place for larger parties too! Meat quality was decent. Note you can only order 4 meats at a time in every order for a party of 2! Each plate comes thinly sliced pieces of meat, it was very quick to grab and because it came out 6 pieces of meat at a time I wasn't worried about it spoiling either! Parking Details: Plaza parking available! Plenty of spots but I anticipate the lot to be quite busy on weekends I read more

Came here with family since they remodel it, didn't anything different. We got sat down right away, they weren't busy. Food here is very good and vegetables and seafood and meat looks fresh. The only down side is the guy we had he pour broth in the bowl of soup, he pour it and it splash all over the place, unprofessional and not good experience with pouring broth in the bowl, common sense and thats bad. This place you choose your broth and they bring out for you and you cook it yourself in your own bowl, you would have to get your veggie, seafood, and your sauce you can added to your dipping. There's so many to choose from. Will be back when im in town. Its all you can eat. Ambience here has alot of both tables and it can get really crowded after 7pm and its a long wait. read more

Lunch price (11:30am-3pm) was $25.99. Dinner price was 32.99. Came Friday night for the soft opening (20% off) at 7pm. Put our party of 3 on their Yelp waiting list at 7:03pm. The estimated wait time was 107-137 minutes. Instructed to return at 8:55pm. Walked around the plaza before returning to restaurant at 8:30pm. FYI US Supermarket closed at 8pm. The host said he thinks they close at 10:30pm. We were thinking that works out since they limit 90minutes of eating and were estimated to be seated at 9pm. A new host arrived around 8:45pm. Took her a minute to figure out what's going on. We never got the text at 8:55pm so we asked her what's going on at 9:05pm. She said we should've checked in at 8:55pm... We hung around until we finally got the text and got seated at 9:15pm. We wait 2 hours and 15 minutes to get seated. It was hard to get service. When we did, were allocated 4 meat order per table. We were informed last call was 9:30pm. Are you fking kidding! We were allowed to ordered as many meat as we wanted so that's what we did. They didn't announce what meat was what so we're not sure what's good. We kept asking for water, but it never came. We had to ask multiple waiters for more napkins and soup. The "salad" bar was not good. They had basic vegetables like corn, bok choy, mushrooms, and lettuce. They also had chicken eggs, small clams, small mussels, shrimp, and tofu. Some of the trays were empty. We were sad there was no quail eggs. They allowed us to eat until 11:15pm before kicking us out. We did get the 20% off but would not return again. The wait was horrible. The service was horrible. The "salad" bar was weak. The soup was too salty at the end. read more

Shoutout to our server, Derick! It was his first day on the job and he did amazing! Super attentive and made sure we enjoyed our experience to the fullest. He constantly checked in to make sure we had enough meat and broth -- we never even had to flag him down. Keep up the great work, Derick! It did take a little while to get seated even with the Yelp Check-In on a Thursday, but that's understandable since it's their soft opening week and everyone's still getting into the rhythm. (Just be patient -- it's worth it!) I ordered the original broth and it was really tasty. I loved that everyone got their own bowl, so we could all customize our meals just the way we liked. The meat quality was excellent -- not too thin -- and the veggie & add-on bar had a huge variety of veggies, seafood, noodles, and sauces! I did notice a few items that I've seen at other locations were missing, but overall the selection was still great. Definitely would come back again! read more

Shabuya - Alhambra - Finally back open! - Hot Pot Near Me - Alhambra, California

I want to preface this, if it was just the food I would give it 3 stars. Mid ayce hot pot. Not that many selections and the meat didn't taste very high quality. We also got the karaage and sesame balls. Karaage definitely tasted frozen. Meat was tough. Sesame balls were actually pretty good. Filled with red bean.We went during soft opening for the deal so price wasn't too bad. The reason it is one star is purely base off of service. We knew it would probably be busy so we got a reservation for 7:15 pm the day before. On the day, we arrived a little early to check in around 7:05 just to give the host a heads up. He said they were cleaning some table so it'll be a little wait. We let the host know and went to wait for our time. 7:15 comes around and nothing. Host completely ignores us. We watch him sit 10 tables ahead of us until we ask what happened to our reservation. He looks down and I see he was using receipts to keep track of waiting parties... he did not write our names down... he says sorry and say us right away. After we got sat down, it took 10 minutes for a waiter to walk up. This guy walks up and ask what we want without even giving us a menu. If he looked at our table he'd be able to see... After that we got our first order and went to the bar. Our waiter never came back to ask us what we needed after that. After 30 minutes I see him walk by and he was about to walk past us until I call out. We then finally get our second round of meat... Honestly ridiculous service. We see him help other tables like 3 times before even walking by our table. thank goodness another waiter picked up our table for him, bless his soul. Overall, I understand they are still in soft opening, but this is probably some of the worst service I've ever experience. Host honestly just needs a clipboard or use yelp. That server though definitely needs better training or work in another field. read more

Shabuya - Alhambra - Hot Pot Near Me - Alhambra, California

One thing to keep in mind is the restaurant doesn't seem ready for their opening as some issues arose with their restaurant. I understand that they just had their reopening and many of us came for the discount, but the host at the time didn't even write our name down. We made a reservation for 7:15 PM and the host mentioned that they were waiting for the tables to be cleaned. Yet, the host sat TEN tables ahead of us. Only when I had mentioned after 10-15 minutes that we were waiting, then the host apologized and sat us down. In addition, when we sat down, no menu was given to us, so my partner and I had to wait for a server to come and help us with our order. But even when a waiter came to us, he asked us to know our order before even looking at our menu. In addition, our server didn't check in on us after THIRTY minutes of waiting! We had to flag down another server in order to get another round of meat. For the chicken karaage, the pieces are HUGE but there was no flavor in the chicken. The yuzu/spicy mayo carried all the flavor. I got the sukiyaki soup, and you can choose your variety for meats, veggies and carbs. ALSO make sure you ASK for the free soft drinks. I only knew about the free soft drinks because I saw another review on the free soft drinks compared to the server letting me know. The ambiance of the restaurant was a bit loud. Overall experience, be prepared to wait, check with the host constantly and make sure to flag the waiters in order to get the meals. TIP for the restaurant: PLEASE have the host write the names on a clipboard and keep in mind of reservations as well. I understand that the restaurant is crazy during this reopening but keep in mind and track of parties is a KEY to great business. A host should not be writing down names on RECEIPT paper which can easily be lost. In addition, PLEASE make sure your servers keep track of their guests' table and check in every once in a while. Not getting a check in after 30 minutes is a bit ABSURD seeing that they would check in and offer other tables the meat and WALK RIGHT PAST US when my hand was being raised. I recommend maybe having a call waiter or staff button if possible in order to have customers' needs to be met. TIP for CUSTOMERS: They're restrooms in the back for males and females.Check in with the host if their booking system isn't updated yet. Flag down servers if you need something. There is a lot of parking spots since this place is in a plaza. read more

Used the Yelp wait list to hold my seats in advance... The area is open and fairly large. The walk ways are not so roomy. The bins to clean tables were in the way and elders in walkers or wheelchairs had difficulty maneuvering the area. I was in a booth seating to the side. People were standing way too close to my personal space while I ate and felt a little uncomfortable. The selection of veggies and other stuff here are okay. The broth is pork, no beef. The spicy was only mala which I can't handle. Also, I'm not a fan of the numbing spice. The veggies are ample, but you can only order 4 orders of meat per table. Wish I could order more the 1st time as it disappeared so quick and we had a little bit of a wait to order more. They were busy and hard to flag down. Don't get me wrong, staff are all friendly and working hard. It's just Ironic that they would come by when we didn't need anything... read more

Glad to see they're finally reopened. Can't say it changed much except you have to place the order for the hot appetizers now instead of grabbing it yourself. Service wasn't that great. Seems like they were short staffed or so. There were a lot of dirty plates piled up and no one to take them away. Meats arrived pretty quickly tho. The broth weren't as good. This was sorta disappointing for us. read more

This is our second time visiting Shabuya since they reopened and we are happy that Shabuya is back! I made reservations on Yelp since we had a larger party, but given it was a weekday and an early dinner, the reservation wasn't necessary. However, it was noticeable that they were out of key items that should have been available for an AYCE shabu shabu - some sauces and a hot food item we tried to order (chicken karaage). The staff was attentive, friendly and most importantly, fast to refill our meat options. Since we were a larger party, they accommodated us by providing additional plates of meat. The meat and veggie options were all fresh. Overall - still a decent value. read more

I'm baaaaaack. This shabuya is baaack. Haven't been here since they closed about 2 years ago. I don't really see much of a difference. Slight change in menu and about 2 additions. Service is great. Still love the vibes here very welcoming. The side dishes/pieces and sauce have additions. I'll have to take a picture next time. Lunch price is 25.99 ends at 3pm. 2 of us with 2 drinks was 64.00. My favorite location is open again so I'll be back ! read more

Solid choice for shabu shabu. Shabuya is a chain but a reliable one at that. They weren't that crowded for lunch so we were seated right away. Even when it does get crowded, the bar Each person has their own soup base but you also have the option to choose 2. My favorites are the sukiyaki and a tonkotsu especially after a long inebriated night. You get to choose all the fixin's you want to put in your soup from noodles, vegetables, and even seafood. I suggest going for unusual items to get your fill but still maximizing on all the meat they offer. All the meat selections are wonderful! Plenty of guides online on how to make the perfect sauce from the sauce bar. If not, you can also ask the servers for what they think. Personally I think a sesame base is the best for hotpot. Meat quality is great, veggies are fresh. Seafood I think isn't exactly the best for whatever reason I can't quite describe. They all look good though. read more

First time at Shabuya and it was pretty good! We came on a Sunday around 12:30 and there was no wait but they don't seat you until your entire party is here. It's a little pricey for hotpot but it is AYCE. They have a pretty big selection of seafood so if you love seafood you'll definitely make your moneys worth. They also have a pretty large selection of veggies for you to choose from. And the sauces! I definitely enjoyed trying each one. My table each ordered the original house soup base. It was not too salty which I really appreciated. We were able to order 5 plates of meat each time. The servers come by frequently to ask if you want to make another order. Most of the cuts we tried were pretty good. There's a time limit of 90 min but they didn't really seem to enforce that with us. We did leave around 90 min later but at no point in time did they tell us or rush us that our time was almost up. Overall, pretty good experience! read more
