One of the places I go with my close friends and family during lunchtime when I'm craving a warm soup or just simple Shabu. A place is near many plazas, so it has great parking spots. While the place can get packed, the waitlist helps know when to be called, and the host is skilled. Additionally, the place is quite big, making it ideal for large groups. While I never have to wait to be seated since my visits were during weekday lunches, if I were to visit on a weekend, I would need to plan. The quality of meat and veggies is decent. The meat is quite thinly sliced, so you may need to have a few more slices to chew or enjoy the flavor. Overall, it is an outstanding place for its value and services. read more

Come April-30-3026. store increase price to $23.00 dollars/person. one man doesn't know is manager or owner. with mean face and attitude like a jerk to customers... Never want to come to this store again. read more

Probably nothing much to say that hasn't been said in most reviews. Just want to add that this spot is consistent. Been going for years and can't really disappoint. Something there for everyone. Utilize the yelp waitlist if possible! read more

This spot has become a favorite of mine when I'm craving shabu. First of all, it's all-you-can-eat. I love me an AYCE spot. The price, in comparison to other AYCE hot pot, is a good price point. I love that you can get your veg from the salad bar-type area. No waiting. I do wish that there were a couple of other items available for the sauce bar, but they do have a good selection available. The service tends to be attentive more often than not and they are always friendly. I will say though, it does get super busy during dinner service even during the week. We rarely have to wait for more than 15 minutes to get seated, but the servers are definitely working for their tips. I love that this spot is casual, good eats. I definitely prefer to dress down than dress up when it comes to going out. If you like casual shabu nights, check them out. read more

Came here for lunch. Join the online waitlist so your wait is not long. The service is fast, friendly and efficient. There are 5 choices of meat which were pretty good at lunch. I prefer the toro the most but all of the meats were good quality. The selection of ingredients were plenty & fresh. You will not leave hungry! The appetizers were not bad too but we limited it one order of gyoza and karaage so that we could save room for our shabu shabu. The restaurant is hip hopping and clean. The clientale is all walks of life. This place is great for all you can eat shabu shabu at lunch. Since I live in SoCal, Shabuya in SoCal will be my next location to try! My son eats at this location for dinner quite often and says the selection of ingredients are more. Lunch was his first time and he was not disappointed! read more

This is one of my fave hot pot spots if you're looking for variety, abundant toppings, and easy dining! They have a buffet style for all of the toppings that makes it so fun to self-serve, and they have SO MANY toppings to choose from it's amazing! The broth selections are also delicious, spicy miso is my go-to. It's a really big and well ventilated space, so you don't feel cramped and it's good for couples or groups. The servers are friendly and attentive. The AYCE is reasonably priced. Also love the additional items on their menu, like the chicken gyoza and fried chicken! Can't wait to come back and dine again read more

This AYCE place can definitely get busy so you might wait a while before you get seated. I would definitely recommend adding yourself to the waitlist. There is plenty of parking inside and seats inside. Customer service was good and the workers were friendly. For the broths, you can mix them. I like the spicy miso and the tonkatsu combo as well as the sukiyaki and the spicy miso combo. The meats were decent quality and we didn't have to wait too long for the meats to come out. I like the variety of sauce options they provided. The self-serve area can be cleaner. The vegetables and the seafood at the self-serve bar were okay. The chicken karaage was average as well. Their capril sojus are refreshing. Given it's price point, it's a solid AYCE spot. read more

We had a lot of beef and we ordered mango cart beer which is nice. The server is busy most of the time. Not so easy to get them order the second or third round. They are playing edm in the restaurant and the music is really loud that we can barely talk to each other. We had to ask them to turn down the music. All over the food is okay. Can be better but the for the price I understand. read more

Pretty difficult to give an extra star. Ambiance is like an old style hotpot place. Service was quick but almost never refill my pot. While meat seems to be well prepared the small pot is probably the prime reason it has to be very thinly sliced; varieties are again almost only the meat (10 items are pretty good though), the cold food station was not delightful. read more

There are so many hot pot/shabu places in the Bay Area, but Shabuya is hands down the best value for the variety of items you get. Needless to say, I've been a regular for a while but wasn't motivated to write a review until now. Recently this location implemented new POS software and tablet ordering at the table. This didn't affect my visit yesterday much at all - our server Matthew was incredibly attentive and came by to check on us and refill drinks without being prompted. Because of his service, our visit was easily a 5/5. I really hope the service sustains despite (or because of?) the new tablet system! read more

This has been our fave hotpot place for a long time. My daughter and I go atleast once a month for our little mom-daughther lunch date. We always enjoy the food, but what keeps us coming back is the amazing service. Matthew is our fave server!He always makes sure we have everything we need.He checks on us regularly,mindful about refills. Rare to find someone who consistently gives excellent service, truly makes our experience even better every visit. Great food great service-always worth coming back. Kudos to Matthew and the whole team! read more

Shabuya - Soup Near Me - Milpitas, California

Holy cow. This was the fastest serving experience I've had in my life. LOLLLL Any moment we placed an order of meat with our server, our meat would be on our table within the next 3 minutes. LOL?? And it was packed that night!! We had to wait for entry. My friends and I were all so amazed because they even gave us our meat before our soup at one point. Our server came around very often too. Perfect speed to maximize your AYCE grind. As for the food, it's all decent stuff. I loved the bar of sauces, noodles, fishcakes, etc. They had SUCH a wide variety!!! And it was restocked/filled quite decently. I never had to wait. The spicy miso broth is very yummy, and I usually am not a fan of that flavor! The tonkotsu is alright. I'm pretty picky about my tonkotsu because I want it to taste a particularly creamy porky way. However, I really didn't care about that in this instance LOL. Because of the wide variety of sides and sauces along with the speedy service, I was completely 100% satisfied. I would definitely come back to chow down! read more

After several months we decided to eat here again and I'm glad they took my suggestion with the rice and it just completed my meal which made it 5 stars. The meat and seafood choices are plenty. can't go wrong with coming here especially if you are hungry. Looking forward to coming back again. Just wish the hostess was nicer. There was no one there and plenty of seats and the lady made us go outside and registered on the waitlist. What if it was an elderly person and they don't know how to do that. My elderly father was asking me what's going on. I get the use of waitlist but there was no one there waiting to be seated. Not everyone has smartphones or knows how to use a tablet. read more

Alex H. Was fantastic and was very kind. Everything came out in a timely manner and food was delicious as always.

Had a great time getting the spicy miso and the selection of beef. Our server was polite and always showed up when we needed a new set of meats. The food came out immediately after ordering and the table setup was prepared for instant dining. The cool interior and music was fitting for the hot pot vibe. The true MVP is the sauce bar. read more

I love Shabuya, it's always well worth the price and hits the hotpot spot. Being able to join the waitlist online is so convenient. I recommend getting half house/sukiyaki broth, then add hella garlic to it. Also love adding lemons from the sauce bar to my sprite or cola. It's been a while since I've been back, but I was very surprised by the improvement in customer service. The hostess was friendly and communicative. David was the best server, he held down two entire sections by himself, taking orders, bussing tables, bringing ppl napkins drinks etc on a busy Saturday night. This meal really cheered me and my brother up since a family pet passed away today. Thank you staff for finding my wallet, and letting me come back after hours to pick it up. Have a wonderful 2026 and enjoy the chocolates!! read more

I love shabuya sm I forgot to post this review but me and my significant other go pretty often, and I promise you the service from matthew is insane!! He is the best server ever! The area is nice and I like that they added tablets. And the food is amazing!!!!!! The sauce bar is the best and there are soo many options. Best AYCE hotpot place out there! read more

My friend and I always go here when we don't know what to eat. The service is always splendid, the seating are always clean, and the environment (music/lighting/etc.) always exceeds expectations. While all the staff contribute to the lively experience, one in particular stands out: Matthew. We've had Matthew as our server twice now, and they've always been a delight and extremely accommodating. Matthew constantly checks up on us and makes sure all our needs or wants are met. I'm not usually one to comment reviews, but I had to make an exception for this superb waiter. Whether Matthew is your server or not, you will not regret having a meal at this establishment! read more

Solid place for AYCE hot pot! I had a party of 7 on a Friday night around 6pm and we got sat fairly quickly. I ordered the original house broth. You order the meat but everything else is self serve at the food bar in the middle of the restaurant! Lots of different options for vegetables, mushrooms, noodles, seafood and tofu. There's also a sauce bar at no extra cost! The meat came out pretty quick and they check in often to see if you want to order more. read more

Now that the temperatures outside have dropped, the frequency of eating hot pots has risen. After searching on Yelp, my friend and I decided to try Sahbuya in Milpitas. We were surprised to find a line ahead of us before their 11:30 opening. As soon as I arrived, I added our name to the kiosk outside-gotta love the text updates thanks to Yelp! We only had to wait about 10 minutes before being seated. We asked the host if the 90-minute time limit started after our first batch of appetizers and meats were brought out, but she told us that our time started when we checked in at the front desk. Yikes! That seemed a bit extreme since we had to wait for a waiter to come take our order. As soon as our waiter came over, we placed our order and then hit the buffet area to grab our additional ingredients and sauces. I ordered the Tonkotsu broth and my friend asked for the Spicy Miso broth. We asked to try their gyoza, chicken karaage, & soy glazed karaage chicken appetizers. We ended up sampling all of the premium meat options available at lunch (they have more available at dinner). The super thin layers of pork shoulder, beef toro, prime blade meat, pork belly, & chicken thighs were waiting for us when we returned from the buffet table, so that was nice to see. We didn't need to order more meats because we really filled up on assorted seafood, tofu, and veggies. Oh, I am a big fan of salt, but I found my broth on the salty side. I used it to cook everything, but I wasn't drinking it up for the broth itself. Personally, I prefer AYCE places where the food is brought out to you from the kitchen instead of this type of free-for-all (germs and pushy people). The assortment of ingredients was okay. They didn't have as wide of a variety as other hot pot places but it wasn't like there wasn't enough food. We were both pleased with the fish-I think we each got three helpings of that). I was disappointed with the lack of sauce options though. I was especially surprised not to see a container with salt & pepper. #ProTip: Know what type of broth & meats you want to get started with since the clock starts ticking before you order. #ProTip: Don't be startled as you enter a stall in the restroom--they have a long strip of toilet paper hanging from the top since there is a big gap between the stall & door (surprised me). read more

Still one of my favorite hot pot places! I'm starting to think I like shabu shabu the most, which is the Japanese version, as opposed to Korean or Chinese. The karagi appetizer is the best. The gyoza is so-so; not enough meat. But the self serve food bar is the best of anywhere! Fish, fish cakes, shrimp, mussels, clams, seafood balls, several kinds of noodles, and lots of veggies. The service is really fast! You order the appetizers and cuts of meat, and before you know it, they're sitting on your table. It's relatively spacious inside and you can access the food bar from both sides. read more

My first time at Shabuya was in 2024 when I celebrated my birthday with my family, and it instantly became a favorite. I've gone back several times since, and the experience has been consistently excellent. The broth selection is deeply satisfying. I've tried the miso, spicy miso, and tonkotsu broths, and each one delivers rich flavor without being overwhelming. The quality of the meat is where Shabuya really shines. Everything is sliced fresh and comes out incredibly fast, so the table never stalls. The beef toro is especially indulgent, buttery, and rich, and it cooks in seconds. One of the best parts of the experience is how quickly everything comes together. The salad bar station is well stocked with noodles, crisp vegetables, eggs, fish cake, and seafood, making it easy to build a perfectly balanced bowl every round. The sauce bar is another highlight. My usual combo is cilantro, green onion, garlic, citrus ponzu, and sesame, but I always end up switching it up depending on my mood. Service has been consistently great, and on my most recent visit our server Sally was especially attentive and thoughtful. She made sure everything ran smoothly and really elevated the experience for me and my friends. It can get busy, but it is absolutely worth the wait. If you love customizable hot pot, high quality meats, and bold flavors, Shabuya is an easy go to. I will definitely be back. read more

Waited 1 hour in line during Saturday are understandably. What's unacceptable is, after we finally got seated the "server" disappeared. We asked 3 different server to help us order and only got reply as "I will get your server" We waited 10 mins and "my server" still disappeared! read more

We went to shabuya and took advantage kf their lunch special for 20.99 We got 24 trays of meats, plenty of mussels, clams and veggies. The broths are always top tier and the meats are delicious. The seafood quality was not the best but this place's meats, broths and service are top tier! The meats are ready within a few minutes after you order and these people know how to run this place. read more

Shabuya Milpitas has been our go to for hot pot within the Milpitas, CA area. It's consistent, clean, and excellent quality for what you pay for. Staff is attentive and continuously checks on our table. The meats were delicious and tender with a decent variety options of broth. I recommend spicy miso mix with sukiyaki. One staff to kudos is Matthew (with the ear gauges)! He was super attentive and nice. He gave our group recommendations and was always there when we needed something. He made our group of 8 dining experience awesome! read more

I've gone here basically since they've opened and it's a decent shabu place to go to. The prices are definitely the best around the area for AYCE. It is a casual restaurant, so no need to dress up. They don't take reservations and you have to join their yelp waitlist to get seated (even if they're empty). Service has always been good. Nothing stand out good or bad. I typically only get the toro (it's personally the best meat IMO). The cuts have been very inconsistent even in one sitting, which can be frustrating. I also mainly get the tonkatsu broth and that is also very inconsistent. The broth can be a bit bland at times which effects the rest of the experience. read more

My friend and I came here on the week of Christmas and it was pretty busy. We waited in line for about 20min so the wait wasn't too bad. We ordered our soup bases and meats and received them pretty quickly. This is an AYCE hotpot restaurant. There is a self service sauce, veggies, and other extras bar. They were stocked pretty full each time I went up to get my sides. There's a small selection of seafood, veggies and carbs. You also get 8 options of meats. There's no tier levels for this AYCE hot pot place. Quality of the meats and the sides are alright, you get what you pay for! It was pretty busy the night we went and loud, but overall a decent experience! read more

Mai was incredible. She was fast, attentive, and kind. By far one of the better experiences I have had at Shabuya after being a patron for over 7 years. As per usual, the food was incredible, but having a personable waiteress/waiter always makes the experience better and more comfortable. read more

The offerings are limited, but the soup is spicy, and the service was great this time. I ordered the spicy miso, and it was spicy enough for me without the need for sauce. The service was observant and intuitive; when the server saw that my gf was using the sauce from the Volcano Chicken Karaage as a dip, he asked if she wanted him to bring some volcano sauce for her. The ambiance was simple and clean. read more

3.5/5 Been to Shabuya a couple times and it's pretty good AYCE option. Sometimes it can get busy but having the waitlist open is super convenient. Last couple times, it was not that busy thankfully so we were seated pretty quickly. Sometimes bigger parties might be a bit uncomfortable due to seating arrangements since they usually have one side booth and one side with chairs. Might be annoying if you're sitting in the middle. Favorite soup base is the Bone Broth or Sukiyaki. Their karage is pretty solid but only when it's fried fresh. For meats, I avoid getting chicken and just ordering the other beef or pork meats over and over again. They put a few pieces of meat per plate which i understand but the plates do take up a lot of space on the table. The buffet bar has a pretty good selection but just be aware if you're allergic to certain foods since there's no separate tongs for every item. Some are shared. There's also no labels for things which isn't a big deal but would be helpful to know. Service is ok. Sometimes they're a bit hard to get a hold of and they're not always checking up to see when you're ready for another round. Overall, decent price for AYCE but I believe there's better out there. read more

The first time I tried Shabuya was during 2021 when COVID was still active. Therefore, the open bar for veggies and sauce was still closed. My experience at that time was also mediocre and I couldn't see the hype about shabu shabu. We recently came back here for a birthday celebration last month and it was amazing. The open bar has reopened since then and the options are just to my needs. There's plenty of vegetables, dumplings, seafood and noodles. The sauce bar is also available! I personally enjoyed the Sukiyaki broth for my choice of dipping broth. We also really missed their soy glazed chicken karaage so of course we ordered some! It was just as delicious. Now I can confidently say that Shabuya is one of my favorite places to go! read more

Can't believe I haven't tried this place sooner! Very impressive selection of meats and also lots of great add ons that you can put in your hot pot including a variety of sea food options, different kinds of noodles, fish cakes, veggies, tofu, mushrooms etc. what's even more awesome is that it is self serve style for everything except the meats and all you can eat. Decent selection of sauces and sauce enhancers! Staff really hustles over there. Went on a busy day. Even though busy, The restaurant has plenty of seating so it says something seeing how they fill that place up and often have people waiting outside to be seated! The meats were delicious! And the amount of food we ate for the price, you just can't beat it. Definitely worth trying. read more

There's plenty of ayce bbq or both ayce bbq AND hot pot but I noticed there's not as many ayce hot pot only options around the area. I think Shabuya - Milpitas is good enough to get your hot pot fix for quantity and quality. The options for meats is minimal but for the quality (+ price!) it's good just keeping a few items on rotation throughout your whole meal. When restaurants have too many options, you might not enjoy every selection/cut and end up getting full from that or the ones with a good amount of options with good quality could be not the typical budget friendly lunch/dinner. Broth: Miso/Spicy Miso has been the go to. I think it tastes better than most of the ayce spots and not bland. Appetizer: Gyoza (lightly fried chicken dumplings) these were okay. It's an easy pass. It tastes like it's been sitting out/room temp. Premium meat: all beef options were so good ribeye, flat iron, blade, cross rib, and my absolute favorite toro! ribeye is my second favorite. The other cuts are great too if you want a break from the fatty meats. They also have an island for toppings, veggies, seafood, noodles, sauces etc.. the ayce "rule" is always "don't get too full off carbs" but I get the udon noodles every time, it compliments my meal! Ofcourse with veggies and sauces too! The seafood selection is an option if you don't want to indulge too much meat. Don't expect fresh, it's more like toppings for your HP but it's nice that it's available. Dining in has been smooth each visit and service has a great each time. I'm craving hp now. read more

We came here on Saturday for dinner and it was pretty packed with people waiting outside. Luckily we joined the waitlist when we were 10 mins away and our table was ready as we were looking for parking. The lot is really not that big because some spots are specifically marked for certain stores. I suggest parking in the lot across the street from behind the restaurant. The price is pretty decent for dinner, although a very limited selection of meat. Sauce bar was also lacking in options in my opinion. The pork was better quality than the beef. Some of the beef were tough to chew. I loved how the vegetables were buffet style and it was nicely stocked. One of the hot pots at our table boiled really slowly throughout our meal too. Customer service was pretty good. Our server stopped by pretty often to see if we wanted to order more. read more

Review for 9/36 My experience here was always okay! The service for me is a hit or miss because the staff is very busy with all the parties they have to accommodate to. I didn't have such a good experience because everyone in my party had good stoves, but mine was weak. It took about 15 minutes for my broth to boil in order for me to start cooking without anything added into it. We'd also have to request the same thing twice multiple times since some of the servers would forget. Also, I wish Shabuya didn't cheap out on the meat, it was so thin that we'd have to keep ordering and waving down the server, which felt like an inconvenience. The table for our party was also small compared to other restaurants so we'd have to put some of our plates on our booth to make room for the plates coming in. read more
