I wish I had pictures, but also look doesn't matter much here. This place is Top Tier!!! Always a pleasure, always a treat, always insanely delicious!!! This is the best AYCE in Orange County and beyond. The meat is so full of taste that it doesn't even need any seasoning, I usually just "rinse" it in the simmering broth, so it's nice and medium rare, and then enjoy the flavorful piece (talking about flat iron here). Greens, veggies, mushrooms, see food are high quality!!! Always! And their sauces are genuinely the best!!! Service is exceptional! You can feel the team is tight, supportive, and having fun, which is why they are enjoying themselves and you enjoy them! Honestly, hat down to management of this place! Never saw anything similar to the friendly and joyful atmosphere this place has! Drinks are unique and very tasty. Because the place is so great there is a wait for walk ins. There's no reservation. But you can put your party on the wait list through Yelp remotely (you have to be not too far though to be able to do that, not sure exactly, but something like in a 20 miles radius), but then you have to come by and check in with a host in the next 15-20 min. Then you have to wait, depending on the line (nights and weekend days - usually minimum 40 min to 2 hours, Friday, Saturday night - 2-3 hours; but the actual time is usually less), when your table is ready you'll get a text and automatic call. There's a lot of stores around the area so there's options to kill time:) But trust me, it's totally worth it! I almost don't want to share this place as it soooo good!!!

UPDATE: 5/24/22 So in this near post pandemic restaurants seem to have challenges hiring people to work. Broth Shabu Shabu seems to be a hustling and bustling place. But as with multiple other establishments, once popularity seems to rise, quality seems to take a dive. As is with, portions here at Broth. As customers, we are now down to 3 slices of paper thin meat for our broth, limited veggies, and the service was lackluster. That's not even the kicker though. SOMEONE AT BROTH NEEDS TO be a QA manager, because giving out crumbs when to pass as Chicken Karage is no Bueno. I was actually, embarrassed to receive it and i would be embarrassed to even let that out of my kitchen. After this incident, not sure if I'll be returning. PREVIOUS: Lots of meat, lots of veggies, lots of broth. Service was....fair. I'm starting to notice a trend with some places and the waiters attempting to memorize every single order for multiple tables in one section. I'm not saying it cannot be done, but it would be much easier to write it down and everything correctly the first time. That way, customers won't have to ask multiple times for, let's say, rice or beer. I like the fact that here at Broth, the broths are split. Being able to have a variety is always better. The all you can eat salad bar is a nice touch as well. The star of the show though, the meats. Ranging from a variety of seafood, swai fish and shrimp to thinly sliced beef. It's all you can eat. Unfortunately, there is no longer chicken on the menu. Inside, there are lots of space and seating between tables and booths. However the tables are a little cramped with the broth bowls, veggie bowls, meat, beer, appetizers and REGULAR eating bowls. I will return to Broth again. Hopefully the wait will be shorter and our next waiter/waitress will write down the items ordered.

The concept is similar to all you can eat Korean BBQ. You select your broth and you select your non meat condiments from a buffet style setting. The restaurant gives you up to 8 red meat options that you must choose from their menu. They are part of your fee so choose as many as you want. There is an electric burner for each pot on a booth. So your broth is making your soup as you are at the table. I went for the spicy broth and filled it with vegetables and squid. I added some garlic chili and jalapeños… oh man, it hit the spot . Heads up, don’t fill up on the chicken appetizers… they are breaded and they will fill you up fast leaving little room for the meats. Overall, a great place to chill with friends and family. The only gripe I have is with the hostess. We checked in and patiently waited for our turn. She called us up and made us stand on the side while our table was as being “cleaned”. 20 minutes later we were still standing in the same spot while 5 people who arrived after us got seated.

Came here for lunch on St Patty's weekend and we left completely stuffed. This place offers all types of broths, meats, appetizers and veggies. My friends and I had the spicy miso, kombu, tonkutsu and sukiyaki. The Suki and spicy miso were our favorite because they were rich in flavor and added some heat. The lamb, rib eye, pork belly and beef Toro are a must try. The meats are thinly sliced and take very little time to cook. Meats are tender and soak up all the delicious broth. As for the apps the cheese tonkatsu it's delicious and so is the shishito peppers. We loved our experience. Customer service was amazing. Even with a busy crowd we we're well taken care of. The veggies we're constantly getting refilled. Fresh meats come out quickly and the place is spotless. Everything from the sauce bar, veggie station to the bathroom is spotless. Highly recommend this spot for hot pot. Bring all your friends and family for a great dining experience!

Excellent experience. Went lunch on a weekday. It was around 20 usd per person. Not bad. Menu is accessible through a qr code. Different menu for weekday lunch vs weekend / dinner You have 5 choices of meat for lunch. The cuts were pretty good. Thin. Service was good as well. Went with a suggestion of mixing tonkontsu and spicy miso for broth. It was amazing. Not to spicy but had a kick. There's a bar to get your veggies and balls and seafood. Clams, shrimp, fish. There's also a sauce bar . Get your goma here. Mix and match. :) Kudos to our wait staff (i think his name is joey). He suggested the soup mix and even gave me a takeaway drink. It just gets busy, so we went before they opened at 1130. There were single eaters present so that's a plus. No judgement there. Worth the visit. And there were cooked appetizers and rice as well.
