Joleena A.

Can't go wrong with Shabuya, it's always a solid spot for shabu! We went on a Sunday night for dinner and had to wait 50 minutes before getting seated. Their online check-in and waitlist system is a lifesaver, though, since we were able to join the waitlist ahead of time instead of waiting around in person. FOOD: Giving the food a 4/5 because, in my opinion, their broth could use more flavor. It doesn't really add much flavor to the meat as it cooks, and I wish they offered more options for soup bases and marinated meats. I was looking for something like a spicy pork broth, but ended up getting the Original House Soup and adding some hot drops/paste for extra kick. My boyfriend got the Tonkotsu Pork Soup, which we both found to be lacking in flavor as well. He has a higher spice tolerance, so he had to add a good amount of the hot drops to get the heat he wanted. That being said, I do like that their buffet has a decent variety of options, so there's plenty to choose from when building your meal. SERVICE: We did have to ask for water because our server forgot to bring it, but honestly, it happens especially when the restaurant is busy. They were pretty quick about clearing empty plates. Overall, Shabuya is still a reliable shabu spot for us. I just wish the broth had more flavor and that there were more soup base and meat options!

This is a regular spot for my family. Food is always amazing. Service even better. Some of the freshest vegetables you'll find at a salad bar, meats are fantastic quality, and broths are the perfect compliment to the meal. My usual is the spicy broth, my wife's go to is the sukiyaki. I highly recommend the number 2 and number 5 meats. What's even better is recently they added some items they haven't had since before the pandemic like their chicken karaage and veggie eggrolls which were both great with the meal. They have plenty of tvs for you to watch a game while enjoying your dinner. It's a great restaurant for a large party and I've always seen them accommodate any size easily. It's great for a casual date spot with great food, but be careful it's not a first date because stuffing yourself with delicious food may not be the best look to some!

Food 4/5 Veggies and sides were fresh and delicious. Great selection of soups and meats. Beef belly was super tasty and soft, ordered around 28 rounds of meat for 7 people. Only suggestion is to have labels on the food selection. Service 4/5 We were seated pretty quickly, hosts and servers were very kind and accommodating. Every time we finished a tray or plate they would take it away almost immediately. Only complaint was it took a while to get water. Ambiance 5/5 Restaurant was very spacious and the buffet area was clean and well stocked and organized. Overall great dinner experience! would come back

We wanted to try some hotpot after we got out of church, and we came to Shibuya, which has always been great. We visited their La Mirada location at 11 am; it wasn't busy, and we were seated as soon as we came in. Their veggies, noodles, and seafood selections were good. We had a great time, and their service was good. Overall, if you're in the area and want to try an AYCE hotpot spot, go and give them a try, as they did not disappoint!

Brandy R.

Not the best place for a hot pot, but the best one for the price around that area. Got seated fast, but once seated, to get help was difficult. Most of the ingredients looked fresh, so that was nice . The flavors were not a stand out. Simple and something you can definitively at home. The utensils and plates, not so nice.

Been coming to Shabuya in La Mirada for years for that AYCE shabu goodness. And it never fails to hit the spot. The meat quality and selection is solid, and the veggies and the sauces are all on point. Service is always good too. If you're a spice lover like me, make sure to ask for the spicy hot sauce to add to your broth as well as your goma sauce. It elevates everything! Another pro tip is to add green onions, minced radish, and minced garlic to your ponzu sauce. So bomb. Dinner is $32.99 a person which is very reasonable but if you wanna save a little more, come during lunch when it's $25.99 a person. It's worth every penny.

I visited this place again after a long time for a company dinner. There haven't been many changes, but that's not a bad thing. Even with a lot of customers, the restaurant was clean and the service was fairly quick. For the price, the quality of the meat was acceptable, and the included vegetables and seafood were satisfactory. Dining out isn't cheap these days, so this felt like a reasonable option without high expectations. On a chilly day, it was a decent and practical choice.

Priscilla R.

As soon as you walk in, you notice how clean and well-maintained everything is -- even the vents -- which is so important for food quality. For large parties, everyone must be present before seating, even if just one person is missing, which happened to us. You get five soup base options to choose from, which is a big plus. The bar is beautifully set up with a great selection of veggies, noodles, fish balls, and shrimp. The meat was fresh, and I truly had no complaints. Overall, you'll definitely want to give this place a try!

***New management with updates!*** It's been about a month since we came to this restaurant. We immediately noticed the updated menu prices, timing of eating changed to 100 minutes, and children's pricing is now based on height. They removed the table buttons to notify your servers. Overall, the servers were somewhat attentive. Regular menu price now come with appetizers. The appetizers were actually really good. My 7 YO enjoyed the chicken. Although he was bummed that there was no ketchup to go with it, lol. There was a slight price increase, but overall, the experience is pretty much the same as the previous visits.

Went to Shabuya recently with old friends. Great KBBQ spot! Buffet-style, so you go pick what you want and cook it. Plenty of banchan. And it HUGE inside! Ordinarily, in most Korean BBQ soots I have been to all the tables, buffet, and servers are smashed together and one trips over the other. Here, plenty of seating, room to spread out, and lots of groups. Would definitely return. Enjoy!

I love shabu shabu. We liked the broth, meat, veggies and sauces. It was enough to satisfy our cravings.

Surprisingly, this place has stepped up in the last few months. They do have some sort of hotpot…read moreoption going on, but the bigger improvement was the selection of food. Yes, the price has gone up as a result, but they have way more options on par with more expensive places. On the weekend/dinner, they now have a chilled seafood section with items that aren't covered in any type of sauce including, but not limited to; raw oysters, crab legs, abalone, crawfish. They still have their steamed dungeness crab, fried crab, and craw fish boils. I don't think these updates have caught on yet because those premium items aren't attacked like donuts at a police department. At most buffets, you see people walking away with stacked plates with none left for you when you're third in line. This place usually keeps a steady supply. The only thing that sucks is the single serve ice cream. I know it's more sanitary, but soft serve and scooped ice cream would really put that place in the next tier up for Asian buffets.

The food is all okay at best with the fresh fruit actually being tasty and refreshing, although it could be chilled a little more.

The servers are all very friendly and don't seem to forget about clearing plates or taking drink orders which I did really appreciate so I hope they never change that and thank you for providing great service. The ambiance is decent as well. Clean with a nice mural of the Great Wall in the back where larger parties are sat. The bathroom doors also have cool murals on them of a samurai for men and a lovely painting of a woman at a temple.

Since this is an all-you-can-eat restaurant, I initially expected someone to seat me, but I was simply told to find any available table and start eating. That was perfectly fine with me. The food selection included several salads, meats, and other dishes, but unfortunately, nothing really stood out. Overall, I found the food fairly average. The main reason for my two-star rating, however, was what happened when I paid. My bill was around $36.50. I paid cash with one $20 bill and four $5 bills, for a total of $40, and told the cashier to keep the change. What made me uncomfortable was that almost immediately after I handed her the money--while she was still saying "Have a good day"--she pulled out a counterfeit-detection pen and started checking my bills right in front of me. I understand that businesses may have policies for checking cash, and I have no problem with a restaurant protecting itself against counterfeit money. However, the way this was handled felt unnecessarily uncomfortable and somewhat insulting. She could easily have waited until I had stepped away before checking the bills instead of immediately testing them in front of me as soon as I handed them over. I was not rushing out of the restaurant or behaving suspiciously in any way. Of course, I have never knowingly used counterfeit money. The whole interaction simply left me feeling as though I was being treated with suspicion for no apparent reason. If checking cash is standard procedure, I can understand that. But customer service also matters, and there are more discreet ways to handle it without making a paying customer feel accused or embarrassed. Between the average food and this unpleasant experience at checkout, I can only give this restaurant two stars.

In an era of "what cuisine can we next turn into a trendy AYCE concept", Asia buffet stands the…read moretest of time. If you're familiar with the meme, "XYZ is the game of all time", then yes, this place is the Asian buffet of all OC, and not in a bad way. It's the classic affordable buffet experience standing tall amidst an otherwise declining Buena Park mall, and honestly these classic buffets are starting to get rare these days, as more stores lean towards trendy or premium themes like AYCE wagyu or AYCE premium seafood that will run you $50+ a head. And despite this place for intents and purposes checking off everything standard you can expect from an Asian buffet, there are still a couple of standouts that separate this from others around its price/quality level: - Mostly-fresh and easy to peel rock crab (especially if you get lucky with a new batch). I could do 3 plates of these by themselves - Other seafood offerings decently fresh as well (big fan of the white fish and cajun shrimp) - Multiple sashimi offerings - Plentiful AND fresh fruit options - Strangely specific but they had marinated pig ear here, yummy! - Actual ice cream as opposed to the watery soft serve machines you typically see Sure there may be some misses, but the food that's good is pretty dang good. If you're looking for the highest quality buffet food ever, you won't find it here, but if you crave the classic affordable Asian buffet experience near Knotts or Disney, this place is it.

Came here for dinner…read more Asia Buffet was very good. Many buffet stations and foods were refilled constantly so everything was very fresh. Lots of seafood if you like seafood. Many types of shrimp to choose from. No steamed crab legs but they have the fried salt & pepper crab, which was good. However, they only refilled it once every 30 mins and there was always a long line already waiting in front of the crab station. The kitchen only put out one tray each time so good luck in getting some because the first four (4) people in line pretty much took them all. LoL I was the fourth one in line and just took whatever was left on the tray, which wasn't much! But there were plenty of other choices and there's something for everyone. Restaurant was super crowded but service was good since there were many employees. Someone's review here on Yelp says it's $12.5 for lunch & couple dollars more for dinner. That's incorrect. It's $25 for weekends. Dinner price all day on the weekends, including Fridays, after 3:30 pm. Enjoy!

We went with the Regular AYCE option at $23.99 per person, and honestly, I think this is one of the most affordable Korean BBQ experiences for the quality of meat and overall selection you get. It's a great option for anyone who loves Korean BBQ but doesn't necessarily want to pay premium prices. My favorite cuts were the beef belly, brisket, and beef jowl. They were delicious and definitely the highlights of our meal. I also appreciated the variety beyond the meats. Their buffet-style selection includes an assortment of sauces, sides, cold noodles, and even vegetable tempura, giving you plenty of options to complement your barbecue. And here's a little personal favorite: the pumpkin porridge! I love mixing in a little sugar toward the end of the meal for that extra touch of sweetness. It's such a comforting way to finish a savory, meat-filled feast. The service was excellent, too, which made the overall dining experience even better. Good food and attentive service always make a difference, especially at an all-you-can-eat restaurant. What I loved most: * Excellent value at $23.99 for the Regular AYCE option * Delicious beef belly, brisket, and jowl * A generous selection of sauces, sides, cold noodles, and vegetable tempura * Pumpkin porridge that makes a lovely sweet finish * Excellent service Overall, Top BBQ Grill is a great choice if you want a satisfying Korean BBQ experience without breaking the bank. With its combination of meat quality, variety, and service, it's an easy spot to recommend for a casual meal with family or friends. Would I come back? Absolutely! For the price, quality, and selection, this place offers excellent value. If you're a KBBQ lover who appreciates getting more for your money, give Top BBQ Grill a try!
