🤯 nothing short of a shabu haven. 👏 👏 👏 walked in with my wife… no reservation. They received us warmly and assigned a server. 👍
Let’s start: One of the best shabu experience from start to finish. The highlight of the meal was undoubtedly the beef, which was sliced so thinly it practically melted in the mouth. The quality of the meat was superb, rich in flavor, and tender—perfectly complemented by the savory broth. 😋
The noodles were another standout component. They were delicate yet robust, soaking up the rich flavors of the broth beautifully. Every bite was a delightful blend of textures and tastes, making them the perfect addition to the shabu experience.
The assortment of vegetables provided was incredibly fresh, adding a wonderful balance to the meal. The crispness of the vegetables and their vibrant colors added both a visual and gustatory appeal. It was clear that great care was taken in selecting only the best quality produce. 👏 👏
The ambiance of the restaurant was cozy and inviting, perfect for a relaxing meal. The staff were attentive and knowledgeable, offering helpful suggestions and ensuring that everything was to our satisfaction.
The meal ended perfectly with two exquisite desserts: matcha affogato and green tea bingsu. A rich matcha flavor poured over creamy ice cream. fluffy shaved ice topped with sweet red beans and condensed milk, was refreshing and light. Both desserts were beautifully presented and provided a satisfying, palate-cleansing finish to an unforgettable meal.
Overall, I must say, outstanding shabu experience. From the melt-in-your-mouth beef to the flavorful noodles and fresh vegetables, every aspect of the meal was expertly crafted. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for an upscale memorable dining...

Dessert tastes nice but as can be seen from the photo, the plate was quite greasy and even the tea was served with floating grease.
I had a really had time in the bathroom 4 hours after eating and it never happened to me before. It was so painful that I was almost a bit scared of what to come. My friend (who went with me to dine) also felt the stomach pain but she didn’t have diarrhoea.
The service was also just average - one waiter looked a bit fresh and nervous. It’s open kitchen and we saw the waiter putting noodle back into the bowl (needed to be boiled in the pot in front of you) before serving customers on the other side of the table.
Overall the beef was good, but I wouldn’t risk returning to the restaurant and I don’t want any of my friends or families going through...
Read moreIf you've ever wanted to experience nonsensical Japanese rules for the sake of rules, this restaurant is perfect for you. My family and I visited because our original Shabu-Shabu spot was full. At first, we were pleased there was no wait here, although I was a bit suspicious, but that quickly changed.
We were told by the waitress that all three of us had to order the same menu item. Despite our confusion, she confirmed it multiple times. It didn’t matter that we wanted different portion sizes or to spend more money trying different dishes—apparently, this bizarre rule took precedence.
When I told her to cancel our drinks, she seemed genuinely surprised. It left me wondering if most customers just go along with these ridiculous rules. If we had arrived separately, this wouldn't have been an issue. But as a group? Nope, impossible. And so is giving this place more than a...
