    Great for groups! Can get prime rib for $27/person for dinner which includes salad, rice, vegetables, and ice cream. Def make a reservation - even with one you might have to wait for a lil.

    For an amazing authentic experience, come here and don't hold back. The wait staff is willing to help and explain the process, and the food is incredible. Great ambiance, too.

    If you've never had shabu, this is yet another interesting E 10th Japanese spot to check. Shabu shabu = thin sliced meat cooked in boiling water, sukiyaki = thin...cooked in soy base, yakiniku = grill

    The best time to go eat in this place is during the lunch special. No reservation needed, no crowds, pretty quiet and relaxing while enjoying $16.00 shabu shabu for each. No rush in finishing!!!

    Love this spot! Been here several times and the food is always on point. Just a warning though the place is not very big so might be tough to fit a big group in.

    Traditional Japanese setting. Very good food. Lunch special is only $24 for two, coming with the best green tea ice cream ever

    The prime rib eye for shabu shabu is an extra $2/person (for lunch, at least), but it's so worth it! Meat is a lot more tender than the regular rib eye that you could get.

    prime ribeye shabu shabu is a must. swirl it in the pot for about 2-3 seconds for the most perfect, medium rare, melt-in-your-mouth bite of meat. oh! and add extra scallions and radish to the ponzu sa

    Prime rib shabu shabu is delicious. If you don't feel like going through the whole hot pot thing, the pork kimchee bibimbap: holy smokes. So good.

    Can't go wrong w the prime rib eye shabu shabu. Add a side of beef tongue (sliced thin for a meaty lettuce crisp) and the snow crab too if it's still in season.

    Legit Japanese Shabu-Shabu, sukiyaki, Nabe place -- coming from someone that grew up in Japan. The bar next door is also owned by the same owner!

    The shabu-shabu is terrific, but the real star here is the bibimbap. I'm Korean, and they have one of THE BEST bibimbaps around. Intensely flavorful, it's hard to share.

    All 6 of us got the prime beef shabu shabu. It's clean, healthy, tasty, and comforting, but a wee pricey

    Prime rib eye shabu is good, but you have to do the pork belly appetizer (pictured) and the bibimbap.

    There's usually an hour wait before 9:30pm but when you get in, shabu shabu with prime rib-eye is the way to go. Don't throw it all in at once, half the beauty is having everything freshly hot.
