    Very fast with the meat, had myself on a time limit smaller than the one set by the restaurant (restaurant gives 1:30, I had maybe an hour) and I still got full til I felt sick Good choice in music, place felt open to have good laughs, while eating good food

    Meat, broth and appetizers

    I ate so much Wagyu at Shabuya at Ala Moana Center for lunch on Father's Day that I had to walk it off. The alternative would have been me just falling asleep in my car. Excellent service that was quick to bring out more orders and they took away used dishes right away. The servers were always around to fill a glass of water or to ask if we needed more broth. At $30.99 I would definitely come back.

    The rating would have been a two but our waiter was great! We had a party of 16 and waited two hour for our table after they had given half of our tables to another family. After complete chaos with straightening out the seating we went to get our food and it was a mess. One side did not have any plates, there was sauces all over the counter and the staff refilling the vegetables were rude. Thankfully our waiter made the rest of our experience better.

    Came here for lunch as it was a good deal. Server was fast and took drink, broth, and meat orders. Meat came out fast and then waited for the broth. Server came often to check up on us. Lots of self-serve veggies and other options to choose from. A good selection of meat as well. Definitely worth the price for lunch! Highly recommend!

    Friday February 27, 2026 first time, coming here. Plenty parking. Wait time 5 minutes. AYCE lunch is $22.99. You have 90 minutes from start to finish. Broth 5 to choose from. Appetizers 4 to choose from. Protein 6 to choose from. Not too many different choices to choose from. But, still good. Easier to make your choices. Plenty different vegetables and other things to choose from. Service is fast. Food is good. Ambiance is casual and comfortable inside. We will come back again. When the weather is cold is perfect to come here. To warm you up and to fill you up at the same time.

    We signed in at the front and waited for approximately 2 minutes for a table of two to open up. Service is quick, Items are fresh, Beers come out quick, Personal pots for eating. You order the meats to the table, everything else like noodles, vegetables and sauces are all up at the buffet. We were helped by "Anna" today, who was very helpful with us as first timers. All items are fresh and lunch special was great. Wifey got an adult capri sun drink with alcohol, and she raved about it. Will definitely be back.

    While I was on vacation, I came here for dinner with some friends. Our server, Soju Bomb, brought us our soups and the first round of meats quickly, which allowed us to start eating pretty fast. I really liked the variety of items you could choose from the self-serve bar. The rest of our meal went well, thanks to our server checking in on us and taking our new orders of meat often. Highly recommend and would come back again!

    Good Oahu spot for premium Shabu Shabu. $30.99 per person gets you unlimited portions of everything! There is a solid meat selection, comprised of various beef cuts, as well as some pork and chicken. I personally went with different types of beef and it was great. It's so thin-sliced, that you throw it into your boiling broth and it's ready for you within a minute. You could tell by the taste that the meat was high quality. Most beef cuts were melting in my mouth, especially when dipped in the wild, elaborate sauce combination that I created at the sauce station. To accompany the meat that's being brought to your table, there is a huge self-serve bar that offers a rich variety of veggies and a solid selection of raw seafood with the likes of blue crab, shrimp, baby octopus, mussels and swai fish. I personally loaded up on bok choy -- a huge a fan of its texture and taste once boiled. The sauce station consists of around 8 kinds of dipping sauces, different in taste and its thickness. A few dudes in front of me operated like pros, so I got an advice for some good sauce combinations and it was great! After I fully set myself up at the table with all the veggies,the meats and those dipping sauces, everything else was a breeze. The broths by the way, were outstanding and rich in flavor. My wife went with the original and I tried the spicy miso. Overall, a very good experience. The food was very tasty, the place was modern and clean and the customer service from our waitress was phenomenal. I will definitely take note and will come back here when I'm in Oahu again!

    I come to Shabuya at least once a week because it never disappoints. The ingredients are always fresh, the meat quality is great, and even though the place is always busy, it's spacious enough that it doesn't feel overwhelming. My favorite parts are the little touches -- the chewy Korean-style corn, the pumpkin, and especially the way you can finish your meal with a bubbling pot of kimchi, glass noodles, and half a pack of ramen. It's absolute comfort food and tastes amazing every single time. The only downside? You definitely leave with the smell of hotpot on your clothes But honestly, it's worth it. Highly recommend if you love shabu shabu and want a satisfying, consistent meal every time!

    This was my first time here and it was great. The workers are very accommodating and helpful. We were seated at a wobbly table so the server helped us move. 8 meats are allowed per round so that was helpful. The server explained appetizers, drinks and rice would all be served through him and the seafood, noodles and veggies are a help yourself buffet spread. The 90 min time allowance was perfect for my group of 3 and everyone was really happy with their choices. Gratuity is added for groups of 6 or more and I would definitely return!

    This is definitely worth a 4.5/5. We recommend getting on the wait, right here on Yelp before arriving! It'll definitely be busy but once you're in the speed of service is amazing! The vibes range from casual to a little dressy depending on the occasion you're celebrating. The food was so good and you get appetizers included in all you can eat. The portions you get are great and would recommend. The price is good for all that you get and emphasis and what you CAN eat!

    This review is for the service. The food was great, fresh and lots of seafood to choose from. I arrived half an hour before the dinner rush, which was nice. We got seated right away. The gentleman assigned to our table didn't seem too enthused so we made our order and never asked for anything more. He never came around to refill the broth, water, nor asked if we were doing ok. We felt like he was rushing us to leave. The restaurant wasn't full so it's not because people were waiting on our table. I used my debit card to pay for the bill on the handheld machine. It was defaulted to 20% tip. I was like seriously? I decided to be nice and do my part and give him the 20% tip. Lawd knows he really didn't deserve it with us.

    Gabriel E.

    Tonight was disappointing. To start, the server rushed our order for broth and meat, and said that we'd get waters shortly and another would come to take drink orders, which never happened. One of the burners wasn't working at our table, but to their credit they provided a portable burner shortly after I told them. We received our rounds of meat in decent time, but towards the end we had to wait quite a while with empty trays for the server to take another meat order. This was also my mother's birthday, which I let the server know in the beginning. Later, he did bring it up along with the bill to discreetly ask for her name, but to my surprise, after paying the bill and finishing up, no birthday cheer. To rub salt in the wound, they cheered for another table's birthday while our table was getting cleared out by another worker. Can't even remember their name because the nametags have some hashtag and phrase. Good job guys, ruined my parent's birthday dinner. Thanks!

    Right next to H-Mart is Seoul Cook in Kaka'ako. I was starving after taking two back-to-back…read moreworkout classes nearby and my friend recommended we get food here and I'm so glad we did. First off, all the complimentary banchan (Korean side dishes). From the classic kimchi, fishcake, cucumber kimchi, and radish. And if you're dining in, just ask and you can get refills of whatever you want more of. If you're doing take out, they still give you all of the banchan!v We did dine-in but take out / online orders seemed popular. But I loved dining in because of the Ajumma here! She was so sweet and funny, and even made the perfect bite (radish kimchi on top of the meat jun, so the acid offsets the oily fried jun) and fed it to my boyfriend LOL. We got a ton of food! The seafood soondabu soup, seafood korean pancake, seafood bibimbap, meat jun, and zucchini jun. We had a lot of leftovers that we took home. The food was good but it's really the service and love that makes this a 5-star experience.

The tofu was silky soft and fresh, soaking up all the flavor from the broth. The lunch set is a great value--you get soondubu bubbling hot, rice, and banchan that were all solid and well-seasoned. Portions were filling without being heavy, which makes it an ideal lunch option. Service was friendly and efficient, and the food came out fast even during lunch hours. This is definitely one of those places you crave when you want something warm, satisfying, and comforting. I'll absolutely be back for this again.

The brisket and beef belly (toro) were my favorites, super flavorful and cooked perfectly.

    Sorry, but this place feels like a tourist trap. They're clearly benefiting from being in a prime…read morelocation with very few Korean BBQ options nearby. The premium AYCE option is around $60 per person, which would be reasonable if the quality matched the price. Unfortunately, it doesn't. We're from the Bay Area and have been to countless Korean BBQ restaurants with significantly better meat quality for the same price or less. To make matters worse, even at the highest-priced AYCE tier, fountain drinks aren't included. What really left a bad impression was the automatic 20% gratuity. Our group consisted of two separate parties of three people each. We were seated together at one large table with two grills, but we had separate bills, ordered different AYCE meats option, didn't share food, and made that CLEAR before ordering. The menu states that automatic gratuity applies to parties of five or more, yet we were still charged because we happened to sit together. Had we known this was their policy, we would have chosen another restaurant or sat at different areas of the restaurant. The reason I'm giving two stars instead of one is because our servers were friendly, patient, and knowledgeable. They answered all of our questions about the menu and provided excellent service throughout the meal. Unfortunately, when we brought the gratuity issue to the manager, he insisted we were one large party despite us being separate parties with separate orders and separate checks. At the end of the day, the only difference was that we happened to be sitting at the same table. Overall, the service from the staff was great, but the overpriced food, disappointing meat quality, and questionable gratuity policy make it hard for me to recommend this place.
