Is This a Hot Pot Spot or Fine Dining? And Itβs All-You-Can-Eat? π²β¨
I had a shoot in Laguna Beach today from 3 PMβ7 PM β a solid 4 hours that left both me and the photographer completely drained. Checking the route home showed either a 2-hour or 1-hour drive, so we decided to grab dinner nearby and refuel first. And refueling means one thing: MEAT! Wagyu! π₯© I searched Google Maps and the closest spot was Wagyu Factory β letβs go! Honest review (not sponsored!): π½οΈ Food Experience: Wagyu Factory in Tustin is an AYCE Wagyu hot pot spot. Besides the buffet-style wagyu, seafood, and veggies, they also have special hot dishes and desserts β something I havenβt seen at other hot pot places! π Service: So fancy, honestly π They had a new item β Crispy Fried Chicken Wings β and the server in a suit came over with a tray and tongs: βMa'am, would you like to try some of our fresh fried chicken?β Very fine dining vibes, and it was delicious! Crispy skin, juicy inside. π π Vibe: Soft, comfortable lighting, and filled with locals. Even when we left, it was still busy β feels great for dates or family gatherings, definitely doesnβt feel cheap. π° Cost: Overall, I enjoyed it so much I signed up for their membership β only $28, not bad at all. Two people can enjoy member pricing, and the Premium Upgrade Menu includes A5 Wagyu Brisket and A5 Signature Cuts. Plus, the membership works at Wagyu Samurai, Happy Skewer, Wagyu Factory, and Niku X β pretty good deal! π ΏοΈ Parking: Plenty of spots β a big free parking lot right next to the restaurant, less than a minute walk. π Wagyu Factory Tustin | Limitless Shabu 2415 Park Ave, Tustin, CA 92782 #FirstTimeExperience #LAHotPot #Wagyu #JapaneseWagyu #LAAllYouCanEat #LAFoodPhotos
