    Beef toro
    Charlie L.

    I would classify Square Shabu as an upscale hotpot restaurant. Everything was very clean and well organized. The portions were also good sized allowing you to try a lot of different items. You have three menu choices: $27.99 for lunch; $32.99 deluxe; $42.99 premium. We tried the lunch menu and were very happy. I got the Sukiyaki soup base and my wife got the House Miso. We had plenty of portions of the beef toro and beef shoulder clod. Because they were out of round, they substituted brisket. We also tried the shrimp, clams and mussels. The vegetable bar was self serve and well stocked. The side bar had a lot of choices, too. This is definitely a place you should try.

    Taro balls.....so good. Could use a little more condensed milk

    Found a nice hot pot near Summerlin. The service was a bit slow. But, our server was so nice and stayed calm. It was just him And the owner. It's a very simple menu. All you can eat and u get ur own personal pot for ur broth. Can't wait to go back again. If you like whiskey they got a nice variety. They have a pretty decent noodle selection and sides.

    We were in the mood for hot pot on a Monday afternoon and searched for somewhere different. Square Shabu did not disappoint at all! There are two menu options, one for $32, and the other for $42 which also comes with a signature side and upgraded meat options. We opted for the $42 offering and boy howdy, we threw down hard! Great meat options, and all the self serve noodles and vegetables you can stuff into your body. We loved it here! We came around 3pm so not busy which allows us to see how clean this Shabu spot is. Very impressive, and the owner of this restaurant, Zheng Ji, was our server and such a nice, genuine person! We have a new favorite hot pot place here in Vegas, this is a must visit!

    Found Square shabu because we wanted to go to a hot pot place with separate pots for each person. Square shabu is nestled in a quiet plaza in Summerlin. They had some deals on alcohol going on, $3 whiskey shots (1 per person) going on. There are 2 tiers of AYCE and the difference is 3 better beef options, a special dish (one of the beef tataki, or bone marrow, wasabi octopus etc). The vegetable and hot pot items are self-serve. We got the more expensive option to try it out and the meat were pretty good. I got the beef tataki and it was quite tender and delicious. The bone marrow took an hour but my friend enjoyed it, it was pretty big, with lots of bone marrow. I think what stands out for Square shabu is their sides, they had the potato tornado, and many other sides that were not as common in other ayce places. Overall, not bad, I think next time, if we do come back, we will get the standard option. I feel that the expensive option needs to have like a soft drink station too otherwise felt like the difference did not justify the premium price.

    This was my first time at Square Shabu, and I had a nice experience overall. I went with the $32.99 menu and tried the tonkatsu broth, which was good, though I had to add some chili oil to get more flavor. My bf got the spicy broth, which I actually preferred. I tried all the meats on the menu and my favorites were definitely the beef brisket and toro -- both were tender. For appetizers, I didn't try much but had the tornado potato and Cajun fries, and both were really good. The service was nice, and our server was friendly and attentive. The restaurant felt clean and comfortable, and had good options for sauces and vegetables. Overall, a solid first visit!

    We came here to celebrate on my birthday and were not disappointed. We had to make a reservation to ensure that our party could be accommodated. Unfortunately we had to change that # (increase) and ended up being able to switch to a bigger party for a 7pm reservation. The server was pretty patient since there were 11 of us and had not yet been to this AYCE spot. She was explaining about the different soup bases and meal options (upgrade to seafood or premium or meats or the regular meats). One person opted for the seafood which came with a nice presentation. While the rest of us got our trays of thinly sliced meats. We got it all: Beef, Lamb, Pork, Chicken Breast, veggies, some appetizers and different noodles. I opted for Miso broth and Dashi mushroom. Honestly I feel like it was all pretty tasty. The server came to check in on us regularly but we were in the zone with all the cooking and eating. They had at least 10 other tables aside from where we sat and during busier times I cs an see how a 90 minute time limit would be necessary. For dessert we mostly opted for the ice cream-- green tea was pretty hard but the other flavors were fine. The tarot ball took a bit of time too bring out because of the prep time. Unfortunately we were all too full to take advantage of their extensive whiskey and pours they had to offer. They even had some $4 featured whiskey and scotch pours at the front of the restaurant. I will definitely come back and visit again. I had a blast and the service was amazing!

    We tried Square Shabu for the first time and opted for the highest tier. Our waitress seated us right away and took our order. It wasn't busy when we arrived, but it started filling up as we were leaving. We really enjoyed the premium options. I liked the premium seafood platter the most, and my husband said the meat quality was better than other places he's tried. I liked that I could make and mix my own sauce to my taste. You also grab your own veggies and noodles, which is great because you can take exactly what you want. Our waitress was super nice and gave great recommendations. The inside is clean, has a good amount of space, and we'll definitely be back.

    Fish Tofu and Fish Ball, after these, I ordered 2 more each, really good

    I went to the Dim Sum Cafe next door multiple times, I didn't even realize this place was here. I spoke to the sever she told me they been there since Dec, 2024, seriously? To me this spot consider a corner store, this is actually the 2nd times I seen a corner stores that haven't been discover. So if you just drove by, you will never see this place, unless you like me you found this on Yelp, and you go directly there. It was 1pm in the afternoon on a Monday, the place is pretty empty, only have another 2 tables The place is really nice, decor is awesome, and is clean. Lunch special was $27.99, dinner have 2 options $34.99 and $42.99 Please don't follow the pricing I wrote on here, go check out the menu page on here, I know I'm close to the price, but maybe couple dollars off. I can't remember is $32.99 or $34.99 But you can see the menu on here, is pretty current Service is really nice, the server is friendly, and when my glass is empty, she refill right the way. The buffet table mainly vegetables, all you can eat, meats, depending on which options you chose, also all you can eat, base soup. I do have 2 things I'm not a fan 1. The heater took awhile to heat up, like almost 8-10 mins The server came back and check on me. Is everything okay? I'm like I dunno, I'm still waiting for my soup to heat up. lol 2. The sauce section, you push open the sliding door, but is directly below your waist, so if you look down and talking at the same time, all people spits will be in the sauce. Overall, great place, good food

    Chinese fusion...Shabu Shabu!!! Yes, yes and thank you!!! Really clean cute space!!! Staff were amazing, friendly and super helpful!! AYCE with three price points but went with lighter lunch menu option and only $27.99!!! Spicy soup base dialed down to Medium heat was delicious and perfection with all the mushroom veggies added with Napa cabbage!! Toro beef, Beef round and Beef shoulder plus some lamb was more than enough beef options for me and was pretty good!! Pleasantly surprised and definitely overate but highly recommended!!! FYI....Daily drink specials to boot, especially if your a whiskey, bourbon or scotch drinker? This spot has a great variety to choose from!!

    I really enjoyed this place. We were a party of 3 and arrived for late lunch around 2:30pm. I think like most AYCE, everyone has to order from the same AYCE menu. We decided to go with the lunch AYCE for $27.99. This is a smaller menu than regular AYCE for dinner, but I thought this menu was fantastic and still included a great variety of food! The lunch menu includes a variety of beef, pork, and lamb. They have a wonderful bar with plenty of vegetables and mushrooms as well as a great variety of sauces and noodles on the other side. Now I've been to other shabu / hot pot places. I think some of the other places are a bit excessive with the amount of offerings, and I think this place had the perfect amount of offerings. I got the tonkatsu broth, which was very flavorful and creamy. From the appetizers, the mushroom skewers were my favorite. It's lightly battered with tempura (I think) and has a sweet and salty taste to it. I can't remember how many I ordered because it was so good. We tried all the meats and all were delicious, except the pork. The pork was just okay. I think it's because it was very lean. The beef and lamb were fantastic though. For dessert, we had mini fried buns, which came with two per person. You can also get other desserts that are not included such as ice cream for $1.99. I thought the mini buns were okay. It comes drizzled with condensed milk. It was a bit too sweet in my opinion. For the sauces, I had the peanut, chili oil, and their house special soy sauce. Service was fast and friendly. It was hardly busy when we arrived for late lunch. I would love to come back again for their dinner menu.

    Found this new restaurant near a dim sum place we frequented before. I don't do hot pots very often other than at a home setting. This restaurant is a good way to do hot pot without all the work a prep. What's most important for a good hotpot is having lamb, it's the perfect meat because lamb is fatty er than other meats due to the other meats seem to have a dryer texture when used in hotpot. This restaurant is reasonably priced and the ingredients are pretty top notch. They don't have a huge variety of vegetables but napa cabbage is sufficient enough.

    Seafood mix!

    Went in for lunch with a party of 6 on Saturday afternoon and had an amazing experience. Let me just say this, it is so nice to have this gem of AYCE hotpot in Summerlin! The location is easy to find with ample parking up front. My friend made our reservation for 1pm, however we were running a little behind (shocker lol), the team was understanding and still held our table for us. As we were seated, we noticed that each person would get their own individual burner + pot! A total win for convenience instead of needing to split a pot and potentially spilling your soup as you transfer your food. The variety of broths were amazing, something on the list for everyone! I opted for the Specialty Spicy and my boyfriend opted for Sukiyaki, he said it was one of the best sukiyaki broth's he's ever had! The spicy for me was perfect, the right amount of heat without feeling sweat beads rolling down your head or tongue going numb, mixed with the perfect flavor. There are two menu options, deluxe or premium, of course our party opted for the premium, especially after seeing the seafood option! Meat selection was nice and fresh, and was even cut to order! You order your meats and select appetizers from the servers, but they have their veggie, sauce and noodle bar off to the side for your own DIY enjoyment. It started to get a little busy as we were leaving a couple of hours later, with happy tummies and the excitement to recommend Square Shabu to everyone!

    Came here with my girlfriend and was not disappointed! Really enjoyed the clean minimalistic decor, great service, and high quality selection of meats, appetizers, and skewers! We tried the tonkotsu and house spicy soup and thought both were delicious! We also tried the chicken, eggplant, mushrooms, and tofu skewers and all of them were bomb. They were lightly fried and drizzled with a nice glaze. The meats were all tasty, vegetables were fresh, and all of the staff were extremely friendly and helpful with explaining the menu. Would definitely recommend checking this place out if you're craving some bomb Shabu!

    What broth options are vegan friendly?

    I believe they only have one vegetable stock option? Otherwise it's typically pork, chicken or fish stock? But you can always spice up the veggie stock with Chinese spice

    Are any of the broths gluten free?

    Do they take reservations?

    I checked their website and they do take reservations.

    Can someone provide price and menu?

I've also gotten their seafood mix katsu set before which comes with five different pieces of fried seafood. Out of the five my favorites were the shrimp, salmon, and cod! Each set comes with fluffy Japanese rice, miso soup, a mountain of freshly shredded cabbage salad, and a small side of Japanese pickles. Overall, hands down one of the BEST Japanese restaurants in the city. They are a small restaurant and don't take reservations so come early to avoid having to wait.

    I've been to all the famous Japanese ramen shops in LA, but they were always a disappointment…read morebecause they were just way too salty. My boyfriend is a huge ramen lover, so after moving to Vegas, we decided to give this place a try without expecting much--but it completely blew us away. It's now our absolute favorite weekly spot! It's owned by an authentic Japanese chef, and the difference is clear from the very first sip of the broth. The meat-based broths are not salty at all, just incredibly savory and clean. They use all-natural ingredients, so unlike other places, I never feel bloated or sluggish after eating here. As someone who is extremely particular about food ingredients, I was deeply impressed by their Veggie Ramen--it is the definition of pure, clean flavor. With 9 different types of ramen on the menu, there's something for everyone. The side menu and desserts are just as spectacular: Chicken Karaage: Incredibly moist on the inside, with a subtle hint of curry flavor that makes it the absolute perfect pairing with a cold beer. Hand Rolls ($3.99-$4.99): If you want something refreshing on a hot day, I highly recommend these. They are packed to the brim with incredibly fresh ingredients and offer amazing value. Traditional Japanese Butter Corn: You also have to try this--it is cooked to a beautiful, smoky char. Pure perfection! Shaved Ice: They even have shaved ice for dessert, which is the perfect sweet and refreshing way to wrap up the meal. Eating here always leaves my stomach feeling clean and satisfied, which is why we keep coming back every single week. If you're looking for high-quality, authentic, and clean Japanese food in Las Vegas, this place is a must-visit. Highly recommended! Love this place

Great, if you're dining by yourself at one of the bar seating or if you're with a group of friends, they have tables in the back and then I believe they also have outdoor seating from what it looked like. (I was there at night.) I am so grateful for our server. He really was a trooper, we were trying to figure out some of my allergies, and he really went above and beyond to doublecheck things. I got an iced Matcha, and my friend got a non-alcoholic Sapporo. And we both enjoyed our beverages. Prices were pretty reasonable and they do have happy hour and deals throughout the week. For a starter, we ordered the Marufuku bites: Pirikara Chicken. It was the perfect level of spice. The ratio of bun to vegetable to sauce, was really great and we quite enjoyed it. It was a perfect little starter snack while we were waiting for our food. I ordered the Chicken Paitan with spinach noodles and my friend ordered the Hakata Tonkotsu DX ramen. There was a mixup with my noodles and they quickly remade my Ramen with the correct noodles and I really appreciated how swift they were able to do that. From the outside, the bowl looks like it isn't holding that much when in reality when you start eating, you realize that there is a lot in there! My only complaint is that I wish there would've been more chicken. The egg was fantastic and I absolutely loved the spinach noodles. They gave a really good amount of noodles! The broth was fantastic! It was the perfect comfort food. We sat there in complete silence as we happily ate our food. I finished the bowl clean! Overall, it was really great experience and I'm excited to go there again in the future. Especially more in the winter! Sometimes parking can be a little difficult because it does get really packed in that area, so just keep that in mind, especially on weekends at night, you might need to park farther down closer to mothership.
