LA | Bon Shabu – $24 Lunch AYCE Japanese Hot Pot 🍲💚

📍 3454 Wilshire Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90005 Went with friends to try Bon Shabu — and their all‑you‑can‑eat hot pot setup is a true food lover’s paradise! • Meat selection is plentiful: thinly sliced beef, lamb, and pork belly that cooks in seconds. Next time I might even go vegetarian‑only for just $24 — the spread is that good! • Self‑serve bar includes shrimp, mussels, crawfish, fish fillets, veggies, mushrooms, tofu, and assorted meatballs — take as much as you want. • Broth options range from spicy to light. I went with mushroom and mild spicy — clean, Japanese‑style broths that feel light yet flavorful. • Snacks & desserts are also part of the buffet. The fried sweet‑and‑sour pork comes in a few varieties — some were chewy, but a couple were perfectly crispy (likely fresh out of the fryer!). 💰 Price: Lunch is cheaper than dinner, and going veg‑only makes it an even better deal. Overall — fresh ingredients, endless choices, and a fun group‑dining vibe. Just be careful not to overdo it (it’s too easy to eat way too much here 😅). P.S. The neighboring jjajangmyeon spot is also worth a try! #LAHotPot #AYCELunch #JapaneseHotPot #KtownLA #LAEats #BudgetEats #HealthyFeast #GroupDining #FoodieHeaven #SelfServeJoy #EatAllYouCan #LunchDeal
