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!!

Kbbq grill and hot pot

They charged us a 26% tip with no fore warning‼ The server was not great -- the building is big and they had one server and one bus boy. Could never find him but he was nice when we found him. They were nice for letting us switch tables though. There is a buffet style place for you to order non-meat items for the hot pot. Lots of seafood and vegetable options. Good pre-cooked food options too! There was bulgogi with carmelized onion to order, gyoza was yummy and crispy! The best meat was the beef belly--we cooked it on the kbbq grill with sukiyaki broth. Additionally we cooked the shrimps with heads on the side of the kbbq grill and it was yummy. Got the vegetarian broth on one half of the hot pot where we cooked veggies to keep the soup clear.

$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.

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

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.

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

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!

Our party of 6 came in on a Friday night for a birthday dinner around 6:30p. Despite not making a reservation, we were seated right away. The place was not overcrowded. We've been here multiple times on Friday nights. The excellent food quality and service have remained consistent. :)

Do they have alcohol yet?

waiting for the liquor license, will be here soon!

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.

I've been wanting to try Mikiya Wagyu Shabu House after seeing it on Instagram. The restaurant…read morelooked really nice, and my son had been craving shabu-shabu, so I thought it would be a great place to take him after one of his birthday activities. Unfortunately, what was supposed to be a nice birthday lunch turned into a pretty disappointing experience. We visited on October 12, Columbus Day, and I specifically checked their website beforehand, which states last seating is at 2:30 PM and last call for food is at 3 PM (picture attached). We arrived at 2:20 PM, but instead of being welcomed, the first thing the host/server said was, "Just so you know, last call is in 10 minutes," followed by, "And it's only all you can eat." It immediately felt like he was trying to discourage us from dining there. He handed us a menu showing only the meat selections, with no sides listed, and immediately asked which set we wanted without explaining anything. Since my son doesn't eat meat, I had to ask if they offered tofu before we settled on the Basic Wagyu Set since we apparently only had 8 minutes to order. And yes, I know paying for Wagyu for someone who doesn't eat meat might seem like a waste, but as long as there were options he'd enjoy, like tofu, noodles, and ice cream, I didn't mind. We came for the ambiance and experience, especially for his birthday, and I was happy to pay for that. Unfortunately, the service was already disappointing. I asked to order from the tablet so I could actually see the options, but felt pressured to select everything within those few minutes because of the 2:30 PM deadline he gave us. What really irritated me was that around 2:40 PM, I watched the same waiter approach the table next to us and ask if they wanted to order anything else because it was last call. Seriously? We were rushed through our entire order, yet another table that had already been there was given additional time? Especially when their website clearly states last call is at 3 PM. Throughout our meal, he barely checked on us other than refilling our water once, refilling out broth, and closing out our bill. He never asked how we were doing or whether we needed anything else. Thankfully, the food runner was incredibly kind and accommodating. When I asked him if he'd wait to bring out our ice cream that I was about to order before 2:30pm, he told me I could simply let him know when we were ready for him to bring it out so it doesn't just sit and melt. He seemed a bit surprised at the last call deadline our server gave us as well. His kindness was honestly the highlight of the service. I really wish he was the server rather than that other guy. As for the food, the Wagyu brisket and chuck ribeye were tasty and melted in my mouth. My son really enjoyed the ube ice cream and the tofu. We also tried items like shrimp tempura, Wagyu curry rice, ramen, tofu, and fried buns, but most of the sides were pretty average. For approximately $40 per person ($45 without membership), I found the overall selection underwhelming. Personally, I'd rather spend my money at Chubby Cattle or another restaurant with more variety. Our dining experience lasted approximately 45 minutes, and our total came out to $72.38 after my Chubby Plus membership discount, tax, and $14.40 gratuity. Despite the disappointing service, I still tipped over 20% of the original subtotal. Honestly, I wish that tip could have gone directly to the food runner instead. I understand restaurants have closing times, but if customers arriving at 2:20 PM are going to be made to feel rushed or unwelcome, maybe they should change their last seating to 2 PM instead of advertising 2:30 PM. Otherwise, management and staff need better communication about their policies. My phone was dying, so I couldn't pull up the website to address the discrepancy at the time, but customers shouldn't have to question posted hours to receive the experience they're paying for. The only reason I'm giving two stars instead of one is because of the wonderful food runner. I had high hopes for this place, but the service overshadowed what should have been a nice birthday lunch. Unfortunately, I will not be returning.

When in Vegas if your planned restaurant does not work out for whatever reason, there are do many…read moreAsian restaurants in the Chinatown area, you'll always have one nearby to be able to go to. So that's what happened to us when we were supposed to try a popular Japanese BBQ spot nearby, but with a two hour wait, it would not work out for us. So, we fell in to this AYCE Hot Pot place which turned out to be an excellent surprise. Staff here from the host to the ones that take your orders and especially the food runners are very much on top of their game. Anything ordered from the kitchen came out within minutes. You are never without any meats to cook or sushi to eat. The self serve vegetable bar, sauce bar, and other accompaniments are up to you. Such a large variety of options. The hotpot burner is so fast, it reaches a boil quickly and you're on to preparing your creation of soup with noodles, seafood, vegetables, and meats that it's endless, or all you can handle. Definitely worth it and it was good we discovered it.

We had a really good lunch at Nabe Hotpot, which is in Chinatown, Las Vegas. The weekend price was…read more$33.95 and includes all-you-can-eat hot pot and sushi. The restaurant provided a 2-sided pot and we chose tonkotsu and seafood broth. They have a buffet area, where you can grab from a huge variety of hotpot items - noodles - ramen, udon, many veggies, sauces, and best of all, seafood - crab, shrimp, mussels, clams, squid, and octopus. For the meats and sushi, we had to order it from our waitress and we could only order three meats at a time. They don't have a lot of of choices for meats, but we tried the pork belly and premium rib eye. We ended up just ordering more and more premium rib eye and no other meats. For sushi, we tried variations of salmon and yellowtail - plain, yuzu, truffle, and carpaccio. The sushi was good, but not exceptional. They don't offer sashimi so nigiri was the best they could do. Sometimes it was too much rice. We tried the lemon salmon roll, salmon roll, and yellowtail roll. They were all good, but not outstanding. We tried the bulgogi and spicy garlic edamame, which were okay. For dessert, we had little ice cream cups, which were good. Service was good. Sometimes it took awhile to find our waitress to order, however, the staff was very quick to remove used plates from the table. Probably the fastest I have ever seen at an AYCE restaurant. The restaurant was large with many tables. Very good hot pot experience at Nabe Hotpot.

My 11-year-old granddaughter took me to Mala Town for my 70th birthday. I had seen a lot of ads on…read moreYouTube for Mala Town and it looked good. I asked her if that would be ok and she told me she had been wanting hot pot for a few days. We entered and the place was super clean. It wasn't a typical shabu shabu restaurant, since it reminded me of Mongolian BBQ where you pick from over 50 items, from mushrooms and tofu, to meats. Everything was fresh. When your bowl is filled, they weigh it and pay by the pound. They let you pick from one of more than 10 broths, and the level of spiciness. They bring the finished product in brass bowls. Both my granddaughter and I enjoyed our bowls. I had mentioned to Paul (who took excellent care of us) that it was my birthday. He wished me Happy Birthday several times. He made us feel special. We will definitely put Mala Town on our list of places to make a regular visit and where to take people when they visit Las Vegas.

I was…read morecurious about the tomato sweet and sour sauce, since I'm looking for the same broth flavor I had back in Oregon. Sadly to say it was nothing similar. When you first enter this place you come up to a bowl and some tongs, it's basically self-serve, and you weigh what you have at the end. They did have a pretty impressive selection of things, but at $15.99 lb I started to limit my options of what I could have. At the end I paid for both bowls for me and my son, I'd say about $40 which was surprising to me since I didn't add much in it lol. I had a few slices of meat, 2 fish balls, 1 packet of noodles, some jelly noodles, and some bok Choy the total for my bowl came out to $20 lol. I wonder, does the bowl itself get tarred out since it carries weight? I should've asked since most of the things to me felt like it shouldn't have weighed a lb. I opted for the sweet and sour tomato, and waited for my bowl to be cooked, which took about 10-15 mins. I also made my own sauce at their sauce bar, with a little selection but made due with what they had. Flavors were ok, and the amount of food I had was tiny. I don't think I'll be coming back. For that price I could've gotten lunch special at an ayce establishment. But it was good to experience it to know what it was about.
