Palm Springs Food | Shabu Shabu Review 🍲

I tried this Japanese hot pot spot in the desert a while back and finally sharing my experience! No ads – just honest thoughts for those planning a trip to Palm Springs. 📍 Address: F, 71680 CA-111, Rancho Mirage, CA 92270 💰 Price: $60-80 per person (without A5 wagyu), $100+ with A5 Ratings: 🏞️ Environment: 8/10 – Classic shabu shabu setup with both tables and bar seating. 👨🍳 Service: 7/10 – Waitstaff were friendly, but the owner seemed a bit cold. 🍲 Food: 8/10 – Above average for shabu shabu, but bonus points for being in Palm Springs! What we ordered: 🍤 Cracker Shrimp – Lightly fried, crispy, and not greasy. Served with fresh veggies – a nice starter! 🥩 Beef Platters – Tried three types: Washu American Wagyu USDA Prime Ribeye Premium Ribeye of Washu The Premium Ribeye was the best 🥇 (and most expensive). The other two were also good though – great alternatives if you don’t need super high-end wagyu. 🥬 Veggie Platter – Complimentary (as with most shabu shabu places). 🐖 Pork Belly – Pretty standard. Stick with the beef if you can! Final thoughts: It’s not easy finding a shabu shabu place in the desert! While it wasn’t mind-blowing, it’s definitely a solid choice in the area. Despite the owner’s meh vibe 😬, the servers were kind and attentive. Worth trying if you’re craving hot pot in Palm Springs! #CaliforniaEats #PalmSprings #ShabuShabu #JapaneseHotPot #FoodReview #PalmSpringsFood
