Highly recommend this place for an authentic Japanese hot pot experience. This is not the same as shabu shabu. It is infinitely better. I recommend the warishita broth with lots of veggies and meat.

The sukiyaki is totally enough for 2 people, which makes ordering it a great value for the price. And make sure you save some broth at the end for the japanese style congee they make for you!

Beef Sukiyaki $22. Wagyu beef and shirataki in Warishita broth. Set included assorted vegetables and a bowl rice. Meal finished with a complimentary Zosui rice soup for your party.

We tried the Kimchi + Pork Belly, Sukiyaki Beef, Shabu Shabu w/ Pork, & Kinoke Nabe. Best ranked in that order - Sukiyaki Beef best before zosui porridge, & kimchi + pork belly BEST after porridge.

~* Great Shabu and Great Service...perfect for a cold winter day~! Save some room for the Zosui at the end (they cook rice for you w/an egg, green onion, and seaweed flakes) *~

Save a little room for the made to order rice porridge (congee) at the end. Possibly it’s the best part of the meal.

If you go with the Sukiyaki soup, crack the egg into the broth and it'll hover on the top so you can dip your food in it... Read more

Save room for the end of the meal where they fill your pot with the most savory broth, nori, green onions and rice!

Delicious shabu shabu!! The one with duck was so yum, broth for tastier and tastier the longer it cooked for.
c bFebruary 14, 2013
really fun and tasty. they will try to upsell you to a whole soup each, but for us 1 large pot + 2 appetizers was a perfect meal for 2.

Make a reservation beforehand as it gets busy. Love that they make the rice porridge from your leftover soup.

Kimchi broth was good and everything was clean, but you can definitely get more bang for your buck at other hotpot places.
Onur ErbilginAugust 1, 2016
Easy to order too much, especially since they turn your left over soup into rice porridge (also delicious)
DaveMarch 13, 2013
Duck breast, leek, soba, and dashi broth is a different option than most Shabu spots. The zoshui finisher is a nice capper.
AdamJuly 22, 2013

Hands down my favorite restaurant for shabu shabu. The after-meal porridge is the perfect touch!

The kimchi + kurobuta pork belly comes with a side of ramen and an egg. Very tasty broth!

Call ahead to reserve your spot! People tend to spend a long time eating, which translates to long waits.

Sukiyaki tastes right. Making rice into sukiyaki porridge is totally new but we loved it
Matt LewMarch 21, 2018
Their pop-up does Taiwanese-American style crepes. Get the tuna flavor.
Alex Choi ❄️December 11, 2017
Love the porridge made at the end from the broth
Lauren HJanuary 22, 2013
buy a bottle of sake that matches one of the empty boxes on the wall. drink it, sign it, and it's immortalized!
Brian TranJune 5, 2016
Make sure to save some broth at the end which they'll use to make congee!
Tim DupreMay 5, 2013
Great new Shabu place in San Francisco. Save room for the rice desert
Philip GarciaApril 28, 2015

Seafood Shabu Shabu and mushroom side dish.

Place is awesome. Get the finisher at the end with egg. YUM
Long Duk DongSeptember 22, 2014
My favorite shabu in SF. Not too crowded.
Justin LeuAugust 28, 2014
Large Sukiyaki plus a few add-ons was enough or two
Jonathan ChenAugust 11, 2014
Sukiyaki shabu shabu (large, $24) is enough food for two.
JennyDecember 8, 2014
Be sure to save room for the congee at the end.
Cheryl MacDonaldDecember 29, 2012
Seafood allergy alert: the only non-dashi based broth is the konbu. D'oh.
Charles BrièreMay 7, 2018
The duck is amazing
Kristina SchneiderSeptember 30, 2014
Shabu Shabu with spicy Miso broth. Oh yeah.
