I've never had a bad experience a Spring ShabuShabu in Westbury. I first learned of this chain at their Flushing location and was so happy to see it opened closer to home. The Westbury location is much easier to find parking, staff are super nice and attentive, a clean bathroom, the selection of foods is great, the sauce bar is well stocked, and there are multiple flavors of soft serve and dole whip for dessert. It's always a challenge to find places that my parents are willing to go to for dinner, so it is a huge blessing that Spring open just 20 minutes away so we can add an additional restaurant to our family's list! It's also great to see such diverse patrons at this location. read more

If you need a high vegetable diet, this is the place to be. The buffet bar was very clean and there was a lot of vegetarian options. Meat plates were a separate additional cost. I went with a bunch of carnivores so our bill stacked up quite quickly. I would go elsewhere if you intend to eat a good amount of seafood or meat. The pineapple soft serve though, that's the whole reason I'm here! I ordered a bunch of seafood and the clams were so sandy and gross, one of them was even dead. When the waiter saw that, he replaced all my clams.. and my soup! I didn't have to ask, that was pretty cool of him. read more

Been wanting to go to this place for awhile now. Finally got the chance to this weekend. Was not disappointed! I enjoy hot pot in general but it's even better with the freezing weather we've been having. Drinking the broth just really hits the spot as well as eating all the piping hot foods that come fresh and steaming out of the boiling pot. The all-you-can-eat buffet setup is incredible. Endless fresh veggies, noodles, tofu, and extras that make customizing your pot a delight. They have like 37 different types of noodles to try. There are also so many different types of veggies which are a delight when it's bathed in the hot pot broth. My favorite is watercress The sauce bar is a highlight with a great mix of Chinese and japanese options that elevate every bite. Customize your saucepan because as you know, hot pot is only as good as your sauce game To top it off, the green tea/vanilla soft-serve ice cream at the end is a game-changer. It was creamy and refreshing! My kids and I went in for seconds and thirds. Service was attentive and friendly. The guy really went the extra mile to make sure everything was taken care of. He also helped my son work the ice cream machine when I thought it was broken. I didnt get a chance to snap much photos. Next time tho. If you're in the area, give this shabu shabu place a try! read more

I'm the one that makes the joke about having to pay to make my own food, but this place was fine. It's the only buffet-style restaurant I will eat at and it is nice and clean. Both times I have gone they have been busy, but you don't feel crowded. The options are plentiful as well. I got what I liked and then got some stuff to try out. The only recommendation I would have would be some guidance and the sauces. Everyone seems to have their own little mixes they were making and I'm just totally clueless. I do recommend and this place is fun and filling. read more

Spring Shabu Shabu - Hot Pot Near Me - Westbury, New York

My new favorite hot pot location! I love hotpot and usually go when I want to splurge a bit. With spring shabu shabu you have a more approachable price point with great quality and the unlimited option of choice. I've been here twice so far and the restaurant is clean, the food is fresh, and the service is quick. You pay a standard price to eat and that allows you to select what you want from the buffet which has noodles, rice cakes, leafy greens, root vegetables, and so much more! However this is an additional but very reasonable charge for meats. I wish the staff would label the meats or tell you what's what because both times I went I ordered a good range of meat and had no way to decipher my favorites. I've had better meats at other locations but they were still good and they offer a nice quantity. I love the fact that you can select what you want from the buffet, as it reduces food waste and you can really customize your experience. One of the best parts is after you eat your (possibly spicy) food you can cool down and get some ice cream - which is included! As this restaurant recently opened, it's quite promising and I hope its prices, cleanliness, and quality are here to stay. read more

My family and I came here on Sunday at 5:30pm and it was already pretty busy. They don't take reservations so we wanted to get there early. We luckily were able to get a table right away. They offered us water or barley tea to drink since we didn't order any other drinks. We also immediately ordered our soup bases and the proteins we wanted. We chose... Soup bases: Dashix2 Mushroom Pork bone (They were out of Miso) Proteins: Ribeyex2 Beef belly Pork belly Seafood combo (included crab, white fish, clams, mussels, squid/octopus) Clams Lamb (we ordered later) Reminder- proteins are additional costs. We went and made our sauces and by the time we had finish making our sauces they had already put our soup bases down and our proteins down. They are very efficient. I the sauce area, they even have some premixed sauces like sesame oil and scallion or ponzu and garlic which were good. Definitely try them! One note: the clams are raw but the mussels are pre-cooked. Three of our mussels looked barely opened and then cracked so we asked to please get them replaced because we didn't want to risk it. They kept saying it was precooked but still replaced them. They have every possible vegetable, fish balls, and even fresh noodles that I was excited to try. You don't even really need to get that much protein, the buffet will fill you up plenty. When I went up for round 2, it even looked like they had rotated out some of the fish balls with different ones. They also filled up our soups a few times which was nice. They are pretty strict about the 90 minutes but we were so full, so we paid, got an ice cream cone to go and left. Very clean and spacious. They have so many tables I would be interested in going back read more

Love it here, every time! The food is always fresh- with a ton of options to add into your broth. Veggies upon veggies, noodles upon noodles and lots of extras to add. The sauces--- chefs kiss! And the green tea ice cream at the end is a real treat! We've never felt the need to buy extra protein, because there's so much already to choose from, but the options sound delicious. Service is always super quick and the waitstaff's is friendly and helpful to set up your soup, if you've never been there. They have some pretty good drink options too with a full bar. It's never boring going back to this place! read more

Great place to eat. Suzi was our waitress and she went above and beyond to provide excellent service. Thank you!

Just not what I'm interested in when going out to eat. You put everything into a pot of soup so it all tastes the same.

Never tried shabu shabu where the base price did not include meats but I was pleasantly surprised by what was included in that rate and I usually do not need much meat to be full. Variety of greens, root veggies, mushrooms, tofu skins, fish cakes, and noodles. The sauce bar also had some nice additions such as a ginger sauce which I haven't seen at other places. I have heard the Flushing location offers more (like dumplings) in their base options but this was a solid spot in the area! This location is busy and I wish the staff did a better job of replenishing broth when it got low. It became difficult to cook the food without it being replenished. read more

Update: Price per person increased compared to 3 months ago. I went to Spring Shabu Shabu recently on a Saturday at 1:30PM and it was BUSY. The last time I came was a Saturday also around 2PM and it wasn't busy. I also noticed that the price per person went up a dollar compared to 3 months ago although still a reasonable price. Everything was still the same compared to my previous first visit: clean, brightly lit interior and food areas that was fully stocked. Our waitress was very nice and attentive. P.S. They do not have coffee and for children, just OJ, no apple juice. read more

I love coming here for dinner! The service is always great, and it's perfect for large groups. The selection of vegetables, meats, and broths is excellent. The soft serve (pineapple, vanilla, or green tea) is my favorite sweet treat to finish the meal. Sometimes there can be a wait since they don't take reservations, but it's totally worth it. read more

An unexpected, truly delightful surprise. We were headed to the Asian market around the corner for Christmas eve and most of stalls were closing up. Luckily, Lee accepted my suggestion to have a peek at Spring ShabuShabu and it was absolutely perfect. Clean, clean, sparkling clean. Well stocked & displayed greens, fish cakes, veggies & mushrooms galore! We chose our broths, ordered some additional seafood and had a blast. This is a great place for those who are vegan/vegetarians or have food allergies as the ingredients are fresh and unseasoned. You pay one price, which was extremely reasonable. Service was exceptional. Best of all, the Dole Whip soft serve at the end...self serve, non dairy..my favorite ! Go here..you will not be disappointed. It is a bright, beautiful, spacious restaurant. read more

Today I had the pork bone broth which was rich in flavor. We asked for mala sauce on the side so that we could add the preferred amount of heat to our soup. Love the large selection of vegetables, tofu, fish cakes and noodles to choose from. We ordered some lamb and pork belly on the side which was delicious too. I had some barley tea to drink and had both the green tea and vanilla swirl as well as the pineapple dole whip which I liked because it tasted like a refreshing sorbet at the end of a satisfying meal. read more

I thoroughly enjoy coming here every time. I used to go all the way to the Flushing NY location and am so happy they opened one closer. I loveee the way they set everything up inside- the decor and layout is very welcoming and open. It's well lighted as well and large. Their prices for the hot pot are not bad at all. Service is great always. The servers I have gotten are attentive. Food wise- I usually go with their kimchi broth. It is delicious- although I sometimes find myself adding salt and red pepper flakes. You can order meats from the menu which are extra charge, however there is a large self serve area for anything like fish cakes, noodles, and veggies. I ordered their beef belly from the menu which is delicious and you can tell it's fresh. The options in the self serve area expansive. Pictured are some of the picks I had: cheese fish cakes, shrimp filled fish cake, house made ramen noodles, mung bean noodles, wood ear mushrooms, enoki mushrooms, broccoli, bean sprouts, etc. There is also a make-your-own sauce bar. I will be back as always! read more

We love this place! We used to go to their flushing location, and were very happy once they opened on Long Island. Both locations are so clean, and the buffet items are SO fresh! They offer a ton of variety in the buffet, the most I've seen at hot pot. read more

I love spring shabu! I've been a fan since they opened in Boston many years ago. Since then, they've expanded into flushing and Long Island as well. I really love this location because it's located near Roosevelt Field Mall and very spacious. It has its own parking lot so it's super convenient. It is similar to their other 2 locations in that you get your own individual soup and can control the settings on how hot you want it on your own. There are unlimited vegetables, fish ball, sauces, and ice cream. You just have to pay for the meat and seafood you want. I loved that this location was so spacious. There is so much seating and I never felt claustrophobic while getting my vegetables. The servers were friendly and would check up on us to clear our plates, refill water, and refill our soup broth. I got my usual, which is the pork bone broth and the fatty beef. I absolutely love their peanut sauce and would recommend it!! read more

Spring Shabu Shabu - Hot Pot Near Me - Westbury, New York

Amazing experience and great food! Our server Alan H was phenomenal! Will definitely come back!

I remember seeing a sign at the original Flushing location before the pandemic announcing a new spot in Mineola, and I was eagerly awaiting the opening. Though the Mineola location never came to be, likely due to the pandemic, I'm glad to see they've now opened in Westbury. The Westbury space impressed me right away. The layout feels open and airy, with large tables that are perfect for groups. The buffet area is well-lit and clean, with a team constantly restocking, maintaining the ice, and ensuring everything looks fresh. I also appreciated the two fully-stocked sauce stations at the front--there wasn't a condiment or sauce I felt was missing, plus there were extras like kimchi and lemons. I like that most of the offerings are all-you-can-eat, including vegetables, noodles, and various types of fish balls. While the meats are priced per plate, they've recently cut those prices in half, which makes the experience even more appealing. All the ingredients were fresh and high-quality, and I enjoyed everything I selected. I did notice they've stopped their weekday lunch service, but along with the reduced meat prices, it seems they're still navigating the Long Island market. I'm hopeful the Westbury location sticks around because, even though the Downtown Flushing spot is closer for me, I find myself preferring this location. It has plenty of parking, and the overall vibe in the suburbs is just more relaxed. read more

This is our go to spot my kids love the ice cream and the variety we like it because it's close by inconvenient no real complaints other than wishing the pots were a little bit bigger, but otherwise the place is very clean and food is very fresh. My wife orders, the virgin piña colada, which tastes pretty good and usually two or three orders of meat does the job read more

4.5 If you're on the fence about shabu shabu or hot pot, maybe you should give this place a shot. I'm not the biggest fan of it, but my wife is, so I go with her every now and then. Although there are plenty of other places a lot closer to me (even another Spring), this one checks a lot of boxes for me. The place is pretty large, clean, and modern, has a lot of fresh ingredients, and, my favorite part, plenty of parking! The staff and servers are friendly, observant, and happy to assist. The last time we went, there were two incidents that highlighted the staff's great service. First, I totally overfilled my broth, and when it started to boil, it overflowed a bit. I got up and asked for some more napkins, and guessing this happens a lot, they gave me some. One of them even brought larger paper towels and said, "It's okay, it happens all the time." Later, when one of the clams didn't open, I brought it to the attention of the server. He immediately apologized, took it back, and a few minutes later returned with two new clams and apologized again. My personal favorite part about coming here is the opportunity to fill up on sujebi, which are hand-torn pieces of dough. Other items I love to stock up on include fresh ramen noodles, cheese fishcakes, jalapeño fishcakes, corn, spinach, and bok choy. If you're wondering about it or curious, check it out! read more

Always wanted to try this spot and was so excited to go. I wasn't sure if they would have enough options for my vegetarian husband but there was more than enough. Also it is not mentioned on the menu but they have a second vegetarian base made of tomato which is very good. The space was very clean and well maintained by staff. The server was very nice & polite but I wish he had a better knowledge of the ingredients in the bases & sauces since we had dietary restrictions. There was awesome green tea, dole whip & dairy free soft serve! The soft drinks are a Iocal Long Island company We arrive an hour before closing but no one rushed us even though we were the last ones there which I didn't realize until we got up. Also who ever was controlling the playlist playing throwbacks all night!! That made my experience wonderful although not sure how others felt about my singing read more

Food is always great here. Very fresh. Tables and food areas are kept clean. Figured I'll post up the current prices since the other ones posted here are a bit outdated. The service is a hit or miss. There have been times when some of the waiters aren't as attentive as they should be (asking if you want your pot of broth need to refilled, drinks refilled, etc.). read more

I recently visited Spring Shabu Shabu for the first time, and it was such a treat! Having only tried shabu shabu in Japan before, I was curious how this spot would compare - and it absolutely impressed me. Each person gets their own individual hot pot, which adds a fun and personalized touch to the meal. While meat isn't included, it wasn't necessary with all the fish balls, tofu, and veggie options at the buffet. The variety in the buffet made it easy to create a flavorful, filling meal. One of the highlights for me was the selection of noodles and the make-your-own-sauce station - so many choices! For an all-you-can-eat experience, the price is very reasonable, and the quality of food and the overall experience is totally worth it. I'm visiting from Canada and only wish we had a restaurant like this back home. The restaurant does close relatively early as we had arrived on a Friday night however the service was really good and they did not make us feel like we were forced out at all. Restaurant also looks really clean, especially the white counter tops in the buffet area. To top it all off, they have matcha ice cream soft serve included, which was a perfect way to end the meal. Can't wait to come back next time I'm in town! read more

Really enjoyed this unlimited shabu shabu spot (everything is unlimited except meat, seafood, and drinks). read more

Great Shabu Shabu place near the Westbury shopping centers! I have been to the flushing location several times and it's awesome to see that one has opened up in Long island near where I live. Each person gets their own pot and chooses a broth (Dashi, Kimchi, pork bone, spicy pork born, or vegetarian). You can order additional meat, seafood, and beverages or just focus on the buffet. I decided to order the fatty beef and pork belly and both tasted really good with the pork bone broth, which is my go to. The pork bone broth is hearty and savory, I recommend it for your first time so you can really enjoy the flavors of all the food items. There are also 2 sets of sauce stations. I like to create this concoction: 1 tb scallion, 1 ts cilantro, 1 ts minced garlic, 1 tb regular soy sauce, 1 ts dark soy sauce, 1 tb sesame oil, and fill the rest of the sauce bowl with sacha sauce. It's a very addicting flavor and makes everything taste 5 times better in my opinion. The buffet contains an assortment of vegetables, fishcakes, and noodles. There was more options than I expected. My favorite is the Napa cabbage, fried tofu strips, and tofu skin. These really soak up the flavors of the pork bone and sauce. For the price, this place is truly a bargain. The service was great too. Our server made out experience very seamless. Planning on bringing my parents here soon so they can enjoy as well. read more

My boyfriend and I are regulars here since it's close to our house. We loved the Flushing location and were excited when they opened a Long Island branch. Normally, the food is consistent, service is decent, and even on weekends we don't usually have to wait. We've recommended this place to friends many times. Unfortunately, during our most recent visit, I found a spider/bug in my soup. I calmly removed it with my spoon and let the waitress know without making a scene. She brought over the manager, who apologized and said it may have fallen from the ceiling, then replaced the soup. By that point, I had completely lost my appetite and felt uncomfortable continuing to eat, though I tried. What was more disappointing was the lack of follow-up: no comp, no discount, and the manager never checked back in afterward. As regular customers, that felt careless and dismissive. Mistakes happen, but how they're handled defines a restaurant. A small gesture or even a sincere follow-up would have made a big difference. This experience definitely changed how we feel about coming back. Food: 3/5 - usually solid, but finding a bug in food is a major issue Service: 2/5 - acknowledged the problem but poorly handled by management Atmosphere: 4/5 - comfortable space and convenient location Overall, very disappointing given how often we come here. read more

My family loves Spring in Flushing but I always dread going. The LIE traffic that seems to be in perpetual rush hour now matter the time of day, crawling through Flushing, and paying for parking (and rushing the family out when we near the two hour mark because they don't validate anymore)! And can the valets move any slower!?!? But now I received one of the best birthday gifts ever! They opened up a Spring less than 15 minutes away! The bad news, I will probably gain 15 pounds because I will be coming here a lot!! This Spring has everything we love about the Flushing spot with none of the hassles! And the acoustics are so much better because you can actually have a conversation whereas the Flushing spot is so noisy. If you want rice, you have to order (no charge) but we never get rice so no big deal. Daniel, the manager also said the ice cream is better here and he was absolutely right. The temp at the Flushing spot seems colder than Westbury so some of it is almost crystallized, whereas Westbury seems a little creamier. And they will have two ice cream machines at Westbury! And unlike McDonald's, they were never broken at the Flushing spot. Hopefully Westbury is able to keep up with that record. I will admit that I am afraid of extolling the virtues of this place too much because I am afraid that this place will be impossible to get into soon, but I cannot lie to the Yelp community. read more

Let me start by saying I am a true critic at heart and I could not find one bad thing to say about this place. My family and I had an amazing experience. We arrived on a Saturday at 12:15 pm and were seated immediately. The hosts were so warm and welcoming! We met our server, Jay, who was incredibly accommodating! He explained everything to us without us asking, made us the most delicious dipping sauces and always predicted our needs. The minute I looked for him, he was there and knew what I wanted! The entire restaurant was spotless! I'm a germaphobe and I ate off the table! All of the vegetables were clean, crisp and fresh. The variety was vast! I was impressed at every turn! We had the pork bone broth and the Chinese mala broth (we had our own individual hot pots). Both very delicious. The Chinese mala is mildly spicy in my opinion. We ordered the seafood combo, dumplings, ribeye, pork belly and sausage. Too much food for the 3 of us! We found the pricing to be so good compared to some other ayce hot pot restaurants. We paid about $120 for 2 adults and a very hungry preteen including drinks (even alcohol). All this to say, we will be back! read more

A friend had mentioned seeing a sign that this place was opening up in Westbury. I was so excited to hear. We have been twice already and planning to go again tonight. Summary review: I love it! It is smaller than the Flushing location but obviously it is brand new so very clean, acoustics are not as horrible, parking is plentiful and free (Flushing no longer validates) and best part, it doesn't take 15 minutes to go a block. Westbury has almost everything that Flushing does and if anything is missing, I didn't notice. The one thing is they have less choices at weekday lunch vs dinner/weekends. You start with ordering from a selection of broths (I always get the pork bone broth but may try vegetable/mushroom tonight) and proteins (I usually get rib eye) then you head over to pile your plate(s) with vegetables, noodles, fish cakes...they have so many choices of everything. One difference with Flushing is if you want rice, you need to order it with the waiter rather than self serve. The AYCE price includes the broth, all of the self serve items and the rice. Proteins are extra. We always had a hard time hearing ourselves in Flushing because of the acoustics. It is much better here although if there is a particularly loud person, you will hear them from the other side of the restaurant. I always love ending my meal at Spring with a green tea/vanilla twist ice cream on a cone (often two!). This is what makes me love Spring even more than the many other hot pot places. Our first time there we met the manager Daniel. Daniel I hope you keep this place golden because I love not driving to Flushing... read more

A newly opened offshoot from the Flushing Location, this Spring Shabu Shabu is located in a large shopping center in Westbury. Ambience - large and spacious. Each person has their own personal pot and can go to the buffet area to get vegetables, frozen fish cakes and noodles. Food: the vegetables, fish cakes and noodles are AYCE, but they charge for small plates of proteins. I was a little disappointed in the limited selection of meats and seafood as compared to the more extensive hotpot menus in Flushing, but then again, we need to keep the location in mind... the local demographic would probably not be ordering intestines and surf clams. TL/DR: a nice modern family friendly hotpot that is a great introduction to people not familiar with this cuisine. read more

This is a long overdue review for one of my family's favorite places to eat! Spring Shabu Shabu is our favorite spot in the area for Shabu / hot pot. FOOD: The ingredients are always fresh and well prepared. With hot pot, you really just want a wide selection of fresh ingredients and sauce options, which they deliver on! They do not have any wagyu or "special" meats, however. It would also be nice if they had an herbal broth option, but the pork bone is a good substitute. To end your meal, they have delicious soft serve ice cream (in matcha, vanilla, or swirl), as well as a non-dairy option of pineapple dole whip! SERVICE: The service has always been great, and as we're somewhat regular customers, they always remember us and the table we like to sit at. The manager here is very nice and always checking in to make sure things are going well. VIBE: I like the music playlist here, which is probably just the Spotify list of someone who works here. It's a mix of current hits as well as some 90s and 2000s R&B / pop / dance / hip hop. The restaurant itself is spacious enough and tables are not too crowded, which I appreciate. My only wish is that they had an online wait list like Kura Sushi has, or that they took reservations. Because sometimes that peak wait time is insane. This is why we usually go early or on off-peak days. Thanks for all the great meals, Spring Shabu Shabu! read more
