    OMG... I don't know what happened here. This used to be my favorite spot during the cold season for hot pot. The last time I came was back in January, and even though I live on the other side of town, I was excited to bring my family this past weekend (party of 7). Right away things were off. Our food came out first but the broth took forever. I could tell they were understaffed but on a Saturday? They also discontinued the hot station. Apparently it's still "available" but you have to order through them now. They removed items from the menu and added more sushi and a bunch of fried food instead. Now the food... * The meat was okay, but it seemed like it had been sitting out. It was stuck to the plate and we had to scrape it off. * The seaweed was so slimy and foul-tasting. I've never had seaweed taste like that in my life. Just thinking about it makes me want to vomit--and this was four days ago. * The fried food (broccoli tempura, shrimp tempura) was undercooked, mushy, and honestly gross. You can tell they rushed it. * My miso broth tasted fishy, which has NEVER happened before. If this is under new management, y'all seriously need to do better. This was disappointing and borderline disgusting. The only thing good I can say the bathroom was clean. :/ Man..I had family coming down for the holidays and was telling my husband I couldn't wait to bring them here because they would love it like I've done with friends before. Yeah... definitely changing those plans now.

    Not too Shabu. See what I did there lol. Located in the plaza that houses Pierre 88 and several other restaurants, there is plenty of parking here. It was noon when we arrived and surprisingly very quiet. Greeted as we walked in and we're told to choose a table. Hungry Monster of course choose the one closest to the food bar. It's clean here, I mean, eat of the floor type of clean. You know we love clean. In fact there is sanitizer at every table. Our server was very attentive to us. She knew exactly what each meat was even after Monster accidently spread them on the table for photos. LOL, all good. Today was Holiday special do lunch and dinner was included in our AYCE price. The menu is really simple. Choose your broth, 2 if you want. What ordered Tonkotsu/House broth All beef meat Lamb Shrimp Bacon wrap Gyoza Shrimp tempura Conclusion Hungry Monster is happy. We have no complaints. Rating of 4 stars is for now. We want to see the whole experience with a full bar. But for what we experienced for a quick lunch and my last review for the year, it was really worth it. We will be back next year. Thank you Sarah for your dope customer service. Happy New Year UShabu!!

    $25 for dinner or $20 for lunch is a crazy deal for AYCE Shabu. They also have a grilling option for Korean BBQ but we didn't try that part. So this place has all your typical accompaniments when it comes to AYCE Shabu plenty of choices for seafood, vegetables, and the must have sauce bar. They also have choices of sush rolls and various hot items that are ordered from the server, although I didn't order any of those. Service was fine and pleasant, plus the place was clean. Definitely will be back for that deal again.

    Hot pot
    Monica S.

    It's a hot pot and also Korean BBQ YOU CAN DO BOTH! Buffet style you can pick out your own veggies for the hot pot and all the sides you want self serve

    Other than hot pot or grill, they also got to-go bento boxes.
    Helen V.

    Under new owner and new menu where you can grill and/or hot pot. There's also small sushi options included for $25.99 for dinner. Service is not bad for one server running around. He's very sweet and calls everyone aunty and uncle lol.

    seafood

    It's been a month since the new mgmt took over and they had a promotion that was $15.99 for lunch till 3/19. After that, it will be $19.99 every day for lunch. The hot items are not available at lunch time, only at dinner time. The place is huge, has plenty of tables and the buffet has good options, ranging from different types of noodles, greens, salad, and seafood. The lunch option gives you about 6 diff cuts of protein (pork shoulder, pork belly, beef round, beef chuck, briskets and belly). The seafood items like octopus, shrimp, clams, mussels, fish balls, square fish pieces, dried fish pieces, etc, are all at the buffet, no need to order thru the waitstaff. They have quite a few diff types of noodles: rice (small and fat ones), rice cakes, udon, yellow noodles. The salad items has some westerns types (potato, macs), seaweed, edamame etc. The sushi bar has about 4 diff rolls (I didn't try any). The greens had zuchini, cabbage, bokchoy, cilantro etc. The sauce bar has various sauces, chopped garlic and scallions, etc. There were 2 types of mushrooms, raw eggs, peppers of diff kinds etc. The dessert section is limited and lacking to only jellos, orange slices, and cut up apples. After you are seated and have selected your choices of broth, you can roam free to select you buffet items. I like that it has a lot off items for you but everything seemed quite sparse. Maybe don't want to waste food by putting too much out since the turnover seems low. There were only about 4 other parties when we were there at lunch time (between 12noon to 2-ish). 3 things I noticed though that could work against them: 1) The hotpots are very shallow and small, making it challenging to put much in there. 2) the bathroom smells bad, not because it isn't clean but more from the sewer. 3) lots of selections but they are all quite sparse in the buffet areas, making it unappealing BUT I get why they can't put too much out for fear of not being able to "sell out" fast enough and may end up tossing everything out. Give them a try so they can sustain the business!

    Sukiyaki, House special
    Robin V.

    My boyfriend and I tried U Shabu Hot Pot recently, and overall it was a decent spot for a hot pot dinner. We had both the house special and the sukiyaki broths. The house special has a very subtle flavor--great if you're after something light--while the sukiyaki broth really stood out with its rich, sweet taste. The meats cooked well and complemented the meal, and I really appreciated the variety of veggies, noodles, and sauces available to mix and match. The service was friendly and made us feel welcome. One small drawback was the hot bar--it didn't seem as fresh as I expected, which was a bit surprising since we arrived right when they opened. Still, it's a good choice if you're in the mood for a comforting hot pot dinner

    How long is usually the wait to get a table on weekends?

    Saturday was no wait! I was surprised

    Is there still some type of per person or table limit when you order meat items or has this changed? Will not return if this still exsists.

    I think it has changed. I went last week and no one said anything about limits.

    This is a solid spot if you love sour flavors and hot, comforting soup…read more The kimchi was properly sour -- not slightly fermented, but genuinely tangy and sharp. Even the vegetables had that strong sour punch, which I really liked with the steaming hot soup. I'm not big on a table full of side dishes, so I actually appreciated that they kept it simple. Not too many extras, just the essentials. The soup itself wasn't overly salty, which I liked. You can season it to your preference since they provide extra salt on the side. The gomtang stood out -- the beef was very tender, soft, and clearly simmered well. And honestly, the slightly indifferent service made it feel authentic. Not overly polite or trying too hard -- just straightforward and focused on the food. If you enjoy sour notes and comforting Korean soups, this place does it well.

TBH, we…read morewalked out the first time because it didn't look open, a bit sloppy and not really our "type" of place, but based on other food reviews decided to just give it a try. The taste and value is really great, actually. If you are looking for your "halmoni's" (grandma in Korean) authentic, homemade, caring, handmade flavors and can ignore the no-frills, don't -care, terrible location and zero curbside appeal, this is your place. Imagine going to an old neighborhood Korean home where the kimchee to the broths and banchan are made with love. The scissors are sharp so you can easily cut the perfectly fermented, primly pickled kimchee and the cucumbers (oi kimchee) are fresh and the beef broth deeply steeped and rich with flavor. Plus it's an absolute bargain for what you get. I think we ordered almost one of everything (for just the three of us) just to taste it. The naengmyun (cold noodles) were fine. Not exceptional, but decent. The saam and chive pancake was very good. Value is high, taste is high; authenticity very high. Huge portions in today's world of cutting back. But I feel fortunate to find a "go-to" for my korean cravings. Like walking into my auntie's house for some warm, deeply comforting, home-cooked k-meal. Craving the dogani bone broth soup now!! (Would have taken photos but it would have hard to judge based on photos alone. This is a place you have to go to just to taste it, not look at it).

Step inside, though, and suddenly you are transported somewhere that feels straight out of the Euljiro district in downtown Seoul. The welcome sets the tone. The mostly non-Korean staff greet you by shouting something in Korean. I had to ask my Chinese server what it meant. He laughed and said, "Hobak imnida" which translates to "We are Hobak." Kind of silly, but honestly part of the charm. What we did not realize is that Hobak is celebrating its tenth year in business. In Las Vegas, that is no small feat. Restaurants here disappear faster than a weekend bankroll, so a decade says a lot. Also worth noting, Hobak is not AYCE. They offer set menus and à la carte options. We went with the set menu for two, and it was more than enough food. That said, if you are strictly a meat-only person, this might not be your ideal spot. The seafood pancake and kimchi stew deserve just as much attention as the meat! The real surprise though: while it is not AYCE, they quietly rolled out AYCD all you can drink for $14 back in November. Yes, you read that right. So plan accordingly. Bring a DD or call a Lyft because things can escalate quickly. We ended up with two bottles of soju and two large Cass beers, which would have easily been double the AYCD price. Sodas are also included. One of the better deals you will find in this city. Service was excellent across the board. Tyler, who is half Japanese and half White, handled the brisket and short ribs like a pro. Our tattooed Chinese server, who looked intimidating at first glance, turned out to be incredibly friendly and grilled the pork jowl perfectly. Everyone else kept the banchan coming with a smile. By the time we finished, we had to walk laps around the shopping center just to recover. We left full, slightly buzzed, and, fittingly, feeling like a couple of very giant hobaks.
