Hawaii Pot Shabu Shabu House — Restaurant in Oʻahu

UPDATED as of 12/19/22: Prices went up tremendously while service quality went way down. It is now whopping $34.99 AYCE for dinner and $26.99 for lunch. Meat choices remains the same and veggie/miscellaneous items are reduced. Qualify of foods is about the same I'll say. Only three occupied table when I went in for an early dinner. Three servers available. All extremely quiet and like to do their own thing and be on their phone while not talking or checking on the customers. Empty plates and empty water cups left on table for a long time before getting some attention. Though it's not at all busy, none of the servers like to look for things to do. Very disappointing considering you charge so much more now. I expect the same if not better services back. Taking my business elsewhere.

Old review: $28.99 AYCE for dinner, $19.99 for lunch 11am-3pm. It's BYOB cause they don't serve alcohol. The AYCE comes with 2 soft drinks, 50% off appetizers, most of the protein and everything in the fridge. The soup base can be individual pots or 1 pot all together. I ordered hot and spicy soup base and it came out looking like they just put chilly pepper in hot water. It looked very very plain. There's a lot of selections in the fridge so that was a plus. There were 3 servers working that night and 2 of them barely speak English. Communication was kind of hard. Other than that, everything was okay....

I don't ever write reviews, but this place is awesome. Just don't come during rush hour, which I'm sure is from 6-8pm.

We came at 4pm, and it was empty, but as soon as we sat down, more people started showing up.

By the time we left around 5ish, it was pretty busy already.

Great service when no one is there, super attentive.

Food was real great too, ordered kimchee broth and they gave us a split it since two different people were going to use the same broth. That was awesome.

It's all you can eat, so come hungry.

Food was really good, they keep the buffet veggies well stocked. They have their own sauce bar, where you can make your own sauces, while providing the normal ones, while giving you the option of using their special made sauces with a menu of sauces on the wall above. (Didn't get a pic of that)...

They bring the meats straight to your table, and I've never seen chicken sliced so thin, but it was awesome, easy to cook, and easy to eat.

the burners are electric so you don't run out of gas mid way cooking, they offer single serving soup or a pot.

We don't live in Kapolei, but this place is definitely...

Lunch time AYCE was pretty reasonable at 22.99 per person for adults. The price is 2 dollars higher than their site so just be aware.

Service wasn't the greatest but adequate.

You can either have a split pot or your own personal pot. I liked getting my own pot and it was more than big enough to cook all my food.

Selection available at the self serve veggie bar is quite extensive along with a small refrigerator that had a bunch of seafood options like squid, baby octopus, fish, clams, mussels, oysters and shrimp.

Lots of different sauces to try along with toppings.

Meats are ordered via the wait help and include ribeye, pork belly, chicken and lamb. I ordered 4 trays for 2 of us and they were pretty generous so don't order too much.

Also comes with soda so that's a nice touch.

Lots of free parking outside.

If you've ever been to Shabuya in ALA Moana it's a similar experience but I'd say the seafood options are...
