Mr. Shabu

I LOVE this place. Haven’t tried the sushi though my husband has and he loves the all you can eat sushi. For me, I’m all about the hot pot and oh my goodness, it’s food heaven. Everything is just all good, the environment is great, the service is great, and their appetizer platter is so delicious and it comes with the order which is the best part. Honestly, one of my favorites places to done in, absolutely recommend it!!

I recently dined at this lovely place, that offers an all-you-can-eat experience. You start by choosing your own soup base, and then you get a personal pot to cook in. The restaurant has a variety of meats and a salad bar with plenty of vegetables and other items to choose from. Overall, the price is quite reasonable, and the atmosphere is nice. The servers were very friendly, constantly checking in on us to see if we needed anything. The food was of good quality, and we had a great time! Will return and recommend others to try out.

Mr. Shabu is a must visit when in SLC downtown. Our visit was during lunchtime. Joon (치 훈) was our waiter, and he did a great job explaining everything. Start with the salad bar and get a variety of mix ins for your hot pot. There's also a wall of ramen if you're looking for flavors other than the broths on the menu. The Gyoza (fried dumplings) and Tonkatsu (fried pork cutlet) are great appetizers to start with. Appetizers are included in the all-you-can eat price. For two adults and one beer, $61 is well worth it. Next time we will have an appetite for sushi.

Excited for some soup in the Winter! We got here on a cold Saturday night, and it was packed! 30 minute wait for us, and we got seated a bit early. The all you can eat seafood and veggies are easily accessible, and the quality was good. I loaded up on Shrimp and crab, so that was worth it. The soup base were great. I really enjoyed the sukiyaki and the galbi bone broth. Although, too much seafood can change the flavor of your soup. So be wary of doing too much with seafood. The meat options sounded great, but we didn’t get to try much of them. Most of the beef items were out of stock, so we ate mainly pork slices. We got tired of the pork eventually, so it was a bit of a let down. I would recommend their signature sushi dish and the cheese corn. I would avoid the Korean Fried Chicken. It was cold when we got it. The servers were really kind and nice. I can see they were overwhelmed with the crowd, however they were doing their best and being attentive.

First Hot Pot 🍲 ever and it was simply fantastic. Everything tasted so yummy and there were a great selection of meats/broths. Tables could be a little lower to the ground. (The reason for 4 stars atmosphere)

The server was friendly. But my husband and I ordered all you can eat sushi, and it took quite a long time for the first helping. In fact, I had to ask at the front desk where our food was. The sushi itself was good, though it seemed room temperature, neither cold nor hot (for the "seared" pieces). My daughter and her friends thoroughly enjoyed their hot pot meals. But it continued to take quite long for our sushi orders to appear, and there was a 2-hour limit on sushi orders. Is it on purpose that it takes forever to be served sushi orders, so that one cannot eat much sushi in that time frame? Also, our drink refills tended to take a long time as well. I want to give this place a good rating...it's hot pot feature seems very well run, but the sushi side needs work. Also, offering more gluten-free and dairy-free options would be nice.

Great service. Our servers name was June and they were amazing answered all our questions. I have allergies and they were knowledgeable The food was also really good, great selection for appetizers, broth and meat. The only thing I'd say is I'm allergic to peppers and someone got the spicy broth near me so towards the end I started to not feel well because of that, next time we go I'd like to see if I can sit a little further away because it was amazing other than that.

This place feels brand new. Fast service. We ordered all you can eat sushi for $29 or dinner buffet for shabu. Very fresh! Our favorite sushi place downtown at the gateway.

Was not expecting much since it was at the gateway & seemed maybe a bit Americanized but I think it's the best hot pot experience I've tried anywhere. Most hot pot places I've tried is 1 pot&broth for the table, but here each person gets their own broth from a choice of 4-5. They have a few other types of nontraditional/uncommon broths too like tonkotsu & galbi bone broth. & it's all you can eat too (which i haven't seen before) so if u finish it all, u can try a different broth. The selection of veggies/seafood from the bar is vast & fresh. This is the most impressive part of the place to me. You can also choose from 9 different cuts of meat. I love meat but the huge variety of other ingredients was what made the soup great for me. Bc of this seems more Chinese style than Japanese, & the only Korean thing I could notice about is the free yakult (yogurt drink) at the end (& kimchi). If ur new to Shabu, the menu is very clear & helpful, even for me whose had it several times (even have pics & diagrams lol). For the meats, you order in rounds from the server and they bring small portions of it which I appreciate as you can try more. For the buffet bar, they used to have u go grab what u want but during COVID the servers would grab it for you so I'm not sure how it is now.

One of the cleanest and nicest hot pot restaurants we have been to! The meats were nice and fresh. They are not sitting out in the open at a buffet like how other hot pots have theirs. I like how we have to order the meat directly from the server. This prevents the meat from being in a frozen form. There was a huge selection of vegetables, seafood and other ingredients. There is a large ramen noodle wall where customers can pick their noodles. The broths were really tasty. We will definitely be back when we are in town again. Parking was easy for us because there is free street parking on Saturdays.

Love this place. For a non-fish eater like myself, their wagyu steak roll is the bomb and I love the appetizers!!! Such a great spot to go with friends. Service is always incredible and you cannot beat the price!

We went for sushi and waited so long that they brought us free appetizers. The problem was after eating the apps by the time the sushi came we didn't have a lot of room left for sushi. The problem then being that they don't let you take food to go. So it was really a night of appetizers.

An amazing place for sushi ayce! I loved that they have sashimi options (many sushi ayce only have rolls or a few nigiri options to fill you up with rice). My favorite was probably the salmon sashimi with jalapeno and ponzu sauce. The salmon was SO fresh, and I loved eating it with the condiments and sauce. There were a lot of people there on a Friday night. We had to wait for like 30 minutes before we got seated. The place was pretty new and clean -- the bathroom, too! Moreover, I have to mention their outstanding service. The manager was very friendly and checked on us every so often - and even though sometimes we had to wait a long time for the food to arrive, the manager came and apologized, and let us order more than three items so that we didn't have to wait as long.

We had such a fun dinner here! The service was good, food was fresh and plentiful. I recommended it to one of my friends.

This was our first meal right after we landed at SLC. Dinner AYCE was 30$. Ive been to a lot of hot pot AYCE and I like their food quality. There is not a lot of meat/appetizer choices but whatever they have are of good quality. I like the service as it was prompt and friendly. Our server was attentive and kept checking on us. I like the area as it wa s spacious and they have a nice music playing in the background. I think we got our money's worth. Good thing we gave it a try

Came here during happy hour (past 8pm on a weekday) with my family, and we were pleasantly surprised that this meant all rolls were $5. Originally, we were going to go for the AYCE hot pot option, but there's no way that we can pass up a deal like this...and we are so grateful that we didn't. Absolutely *insane* value--for every single roll on the menu. We arrived right at 8pm with no wait and were immediately seated There were so many options to choose from--everything from tuna, salmon, tempura, and wagyu. I'd say expect to order at least 2 rolls per person to feel satisfied, but we averaged 3-4 rolls per person because we were on the hungrier side As a whole, the rolls were generally quite high quality (especially heeding the price). While they were on the smaller side, I'd say all of the ingredients were quite fresh. Apparently, the sizes are the same, regardless of it being happy hour. The sashimi was not fishy at all and all the rolls were plated so well. My one piece of feedback is to use less sauce, as sometimes I had to scrape it away because it was too overpowering. Highlights included the Titanic (salmon, cream cheese, jalapeno), Call 911 (in the aluminum foil and lit on fire...reminiscent of a baked Lion King roll), and the Seattle roll The staff were so attentive and food came out in less than 15 mins. Great spacious eating area, lighting, and decor

We did the all-you-can-eat sushi instead of the hot pot and we probably should have done hot pot instead. All of the sushi items taste the same-- like mayo. Everything was doused in mayo and a sweet sauce that ruined the sushi. We felt heavy and weighed down after eating. However, when we looked at other patrons' food, we drooled a bit over their hot pot. Next time, I'll skip the sushi and do hot pot instead.

All you can eat shabu shabu with a buffet style ingredient bar! I love these types of places and this one did not disappoint! I got the Korean spicy broth which wasn't that spicy in my opinion. We also got some sides, chicken and fries, which are also unlimited! Great selection of fresh ingredients and delicious food! Definitely recommend this place if you like hotpot!

I am a dedicated Ombu hotpot customer, so that is my baseline for reviews. This place... is not good nor bad but I wouldn't replace my weekly visits to Ombu for this. What's better about Mr. Shabu compared to Ombu: - Broth flavor - Utensils to cook and fish the food out of the pot - Korean side dishes - pickled radish, kimchi What's disliked about Mr. Shabu compared to Ombu: - Pricing. It's a big $$$ difference - Parking - I hate paying for parking garages and it's required to get to this restaurant inside Gateway Mall - Lack of variety to pick up and cook (mostly just vegetables and cheap shrimp or fish balls... no fried bean curd, no lotus root, no other seafood) - Sauce station: Why is there no oyster sauce? Why is there no cilantro (they had cilantro in the self-serve section for food that needs to be cooked and it was near raw ingredients). Those two are essential for my hotpot dipping sauce of choice. The peanut sauce I tried was gag-inducing... - One of the entrance doors is locked but the other isn't. Save the embarrassment and pick the right door.

We came here because a friend recommended this place and it was amazing! Never been to an Asian restaurant where you have the opportunity to cook your own buffet. You get unlimited appetizers, you choose your broth and meat with your server then go to the buffet to get everything else you want. Whether it's seafood, tofu, noodles, veggies, etc. The food was full of flavor , the options where incredible, our experience overall was amazing! We did show up close to the restaurant closing but the server never made us feel like it was a burden. His service was outstanding! Friendly, attentive and provided us great recommendations. To top it off the restaurant was really clean. It was incredible to see how clean a buffet style restaurant was. Gratuity was added to our party of 5 but I didn't hesitate to tip extra , it was that good!

Loved the broth choices. Never seen any place that had Galbi broth like this one - very good flavor. Their veggie/noodle/seafood/sauce bar is very clean, and they have the coolest top ramen "convenience store display" if you want to add any of their selection to your broth. Price point is good in my opinion. Especially coming from California, I'm not complaining about an under $30 AYCE hotpot meal. If you want AYCE sushi to top it off, it's just an extra $10 more per person. I liked their sushi rolls for the most part. The sushi wasn't overly wrapped with rice, and the size was good to eat in one bite! Lion King Roll wasn't baked though, so that was weird. During lunch, sushi isn't AYCE, but they discount their sushi 30% off if you order any rolls. Service wasn't bad. Our server was friendly, but a little forgetful at times. I wouldn't recommend their Korean fried chicken - it was super dry and tough to eat even though it was saucy af. Enjoyed the fries that came with it though. Their meats get served on small stackable trays, which they only give you maybe about 4-7 sliced per tray. I liked how thinly sliced the meats were, and I guess I'm not mad that they serve you that much meat at a time - helped me portion better, even though I overate with the sushi.. My suggestion is to forgo the corn cheese. That was pretty disappointing. Give this place a try though! For an AYCE shabu/sushi spot, I'd say this is the spot to go to. :)

Mr. Shabu is a great place to visit, the food there was great. The ramen shelf is so cool, I would recommend getting hot water instead of the soup choices because you can flavor it with the ramen spices or with meat and veggies. The people there is very nice and the place is big and has a whole seafood bar and noodle bar. But the tables there are very for me but overall the place is very nice

Good service The food was good. I had a lot of beef. The place is nice. One thing I didn't like is that the whole party must be present before they sit you. I don't get it. Other than that the restaurant is good.

Terrific food, great environment, helpful staff. This was our first time to Nr. Shabu and the staff was great talking about the history of the restaurant and exploring how to order and create our plates. The food was fantastic.

Yelpers YELP! In Utah visiting family, of course I have a LIST of spots to hit while I'm here 'cause I'm a foodie. This gem was NOT on my radar but my daughter in love suggested it. Where do I begin? Service: shout out to our guy Ji-hoon who gave us the ins and outs of HotPot and provided impeccable service! There were seven in our party so we had two tables of hungry folks plus an infant. He kept us all completely covered. My son ( who's a Chef...Iykyk) commented on his abilities and told him so! Ambiance: Awesome, clean, inviting. Located in The Gateway, which is awesome in itself. We actually walked because my family lives across the street. Friday night crowd wasn't too bad but we did wait for seating for about 10 minutes. Food: WoW! Awesome menu. We all got the "all you can eat" which included "all you can eat" appetizers for $30 a head. For another $10 you can add sushi...Incredible! Every item on the salad bar which included fresh mussels, shrimp and blue crab, even tofu, shrimp balls, fish balls...All the vegetables, sauces, noodles and ramen you could ever want, fresh and well stocked. Listen, there's nothing I can write here that would do this place justice. Absolutely put this place on your list if you're ever in Salt Lake City and if you live nearby and you HAVE NOT been here? You need to be good to yourself and experience Mr Shabu

My friend spoke highly of this place for their hotpot, but I wanted to try their sushi so that's what this is gonna be about lol Their hotpot is cool too. I noticed there's more than one hot plates on the table, and the server said each person gets their own bowl so that's a huge plus!! The veggies and other stuff for the hotpot is buffet style and you get to choose what goes in your bowl. The sushi is only $29, but this place gives me a $$$ vibe. Servers are dressed and trained well. Sushi was good and we had a great time dining here P.s.: salmon sashimi was a little fishy

My group and I had an amazing experience during our visit, even though it was cut short because of the restaurant closing time. We arrived after 8pm but had a long wait time because of a viewing event for Sundance at a nearby theater. The location was very busy and we did not get seated until close 9pm. It was many of our groups first time experiencing Hot Pot so we were unsure of what to expect from this concept. Once we were seated and able to select our broth for our pot, it was go time. I really like how each person gets there own pot, compared to other concepts that may have a shared or split cauldron of soup. The food bar was excellent. Very well organized and stocked with a wide variety of vegetables, seafood, noodles, and sauces. When our server returned we just had her bring stacks of trays of sliced meats so we could try them all. We also had them bring app sampler trays and some sushi rolls for the table to share. We had a larger group so we ordered what we knew we could eat so we would not waste any food. We were kind of bummed that our experience was cut short due to the restaurant closing at 10pm. Unfortunately this area was busy on this day so next time we will make a reservation and arrive early to fully experience our meal. I can't wait to go back! Enjoy!!!

Love this place. Always delicious with great service. Salad bar is always well stocked and they bring out the meat quickly. I'm a little addicted.

Came here after checking in to hotel and was immediately greeted upon arrival. Our server was friendly and explained the experience since it was our first time. There are a lot of food options for everyone vegetables, seafood and 4 steak options during lunch. The experience and food were tasty and definitely an experience to try. The inside of the restaurant is welcoming and nice music playing at an appropriate level. If every in the Salt Lake City downtown area recommend coming as its a great all you can for the price.

$31 all you can you eat shabu shabu?! Wow we had a very pleasant dining experience for that price. Meat was fresh and great (No. 1, 3, 5, 6 and 7) ; salad and ingredients bar was big and pretty much covered all the normal shabu ingredients; service was friendly... I mean if it wasn't the AC issue in our dining area (it was 100 degrees outside), we could have stayed longer and eaten more plates of beef. Soup base wise - we tried 4 different options and agreed the beef bone was the best flavor wise. Don't forget to make a reservation. I did that the night before our Sunday night visit and got seated right away.

One of the best experiences I had, also great for first date. Service was excellent and the choices of food: protein, broth, etc did not disappoint.

It's about time I update my review here. Since covid, I've come back a couple of times and my experience is much better. The food and service are great! My last dining experience here, I came with 4 other hungry people and we ATE! I felt like we asked our server to get so much stuff for us and even suggested other plates that we may like. With our AYCE dinner, for an extra $10 AYCE sushi was included for the entire table. So worth it! I loved their nigiri! Their rolls are wet from being drowned in their sweet sauce. Our rice would fall apart from the dish to our mouth so I didn't care for the rolls. Our server recommended their "Call 911" roll which is wrapped in foil and torched. Cool experience, but again, it was really wet and sweet. The beef is thinly sliced so you can dip it in your broth a few times or let it overcook and eat it immediately. Very high quality cuts of meat. They also have lamb and wagyu if you like those options. It's best to call and make reservations. No sane day reservations though I tried emailing them as stated on their phone recording and have yet to hear back. They say you can also make reservations on their Instagram page, but since their emails didn't work, I just figured calling them worked best.

Went again recently with a friend from work. I've been trying to learn Korean and wrote Thank You in Korean on my receipt. It was fun to see how excited our server was. I didn't know how to respond and it made me smile. The food was great as normal. I had to wait a bit for some ingredients because it was a popular item among the diners that day. I did have a little issue with the hostess when I walked in, but our server cleared that all up. The restaurant was busy, but it was fun that day.

Very delicious! The soup mix combo is tonkastu and spicy! The freaking best! We got the sampler which was a very yummy starter! The service was amazing. We weren't sure what meats to pick and all the meat suggested were perfect! Ambiance was very welcoming and helpful. Will definitely return!

Visiting SLC and looking for a good place to eat. I love shabu so when I Yelped "dinner" and saw Mr. Shabu, I was all for it! The Gateway is a beautiful little shopping area for a restaurant to be in. When I walked in I was kindly greeted and seated. They have an all you can eat menu including appetizers. So I ordered gyoza and cucumber/seaweed salad. Then went to the salad bar that you can get all your veggies, sauces, and bases (except they don't have rice at the salad bar so I had to ask for it. They have a great assortment of sauces and veggies. I asked for rib eye beef, waygu beef, and short rib beef. The short rib and the rib eye is the best that they have. Their service was great, checking in regularly. Food was great, everything tasted good (except the cucumber/seaweed salad was a bit weird for me from what I'm used to. This is a spot I would definitely recommend. If you're in town and around, you'll totally enjoy your experience!

Great price for what you get. Fantastic selection of items to choose from and just an overall fun experience.

I really like this place. I've been here multiple times and I've never had any problems. I HIGHLY suggest calling and setting a reservation unless you don't mind sitting at a bar table. We showed up on a Prom night or something like that so it was very busy. I recommend their cream cheese wontons and they had very crispy sprite

This was certainly an interesting experience. My wife and I came here with virtually no knowledge of what a "hot pot" is. We were happily surprised to find out that it's an all you can eat environment. The cost is about $30 a person, which isn't bad considering how much steak you can get. Because this was my first time, I made a few mistakes, so hopefully you can learn from them: I got too many things from the salad and seafood table. I had thought that you just filled the broth with all the ingredients and then dumped it all out into a bowl and ate it all like a soup. This isn't really the case. You're really supposed to just use the broth to cook the meat and other ingredients, and then pull them out to dip in all the sauces available. So I ended up with a bowl of soup and ingredients that was absolutely ginormous . Next time I go, I'll get minimal things to add, and then be able to get more meat.

Let's start with the music...ON POINT! When you can jam and sing at diner it's an added benefit. The sushi was very fresh and the portions were perfect. I had the Titanic and Black Dragon and they were popping with flavor. The rest of the table did hot pot and it got lent from singing as everyone was chowing down. Considering we had a week of kisses with food this was the perfect ending to a great vacation in Salt Lake City.

We came for an early dinner around 6 pm and parked in the garage which is located conveniently next to the entrance. We were able to get seated right away, but by 7pm the restaurant was pretty full. I got the spicy soup, they come out with the meats pretty quickly, the meats are really thickly sliced, which I did not really like that much. The meat does come out quickly, but there is no button to call for a server so you have to wave them down every time you want to order meat. It is not that convenient. The interior of this restaurant is really nice and clean, the vegetables / seafood / sauce section is also really clean and nice. The seats are super low, which make it really difficult to eat because your elbows are really high up on the table. It was not that comfortable eating here. The food is good but the dining experience was not that great, I probably will not be coming again even though I enjoyed the food.

I love visiting Mr. Shabu at Gateway with friends--it's always a fun and delicious experience! The food is tasty, and the service is very welcoming. A big thanks to one of the staff members (unfortunately, I didn't catch the name) who recommended adding green onion to the sesame sauce--it made such a difference and really complemented both the meat and veggies! Also, I have to mention the cream cheese wontons appetizer (honestly, it feels more like a dessert for me )--they are so yummy! If you're looking for a great hot pot spot, Mr. Shabu is definitely worth a visit.

Having tried all of the AYCE hot pot/shabu shabu in the valley, Mr. Shabu remains my favorite. The quality, freshness of their food, and service just can't be beat. I would much rather wait for an hour to eat here versus going anywhere else. On top of that, I just really love the communal experience, everyone has their own way of cooking things and concocting some unique sauce pairings. Came by for lunch today, and everything was great as usual. Granted I don't typically eat the appetizers and just tend to stick with the meats and veggies. My go to is the karubi eye and the pork belly with either the sukiyaki or the bone broth. I also really enjoy eating my weight in cabbage, bok choy, and all the different types of mushrooms and noodles (the potato pasta is surprisingly good but you can never go wrong with udon). What elevates all the things that you cook is the sauce, my favorite is sacha (Chinese bbq sauce) mixed with a little soy sauce with garlic and green onions, it's so delicious on meats/seafood. Even my extremely picky, "nothing is ever up to her standards" aunt commented about the freshness/quality of items and asked to be brought back next week IYKYK

I was craving hot pot so decided to give this place a try! We started with the sampler for appetizer, which is included in the AYCE, and the standout for me was the corn cheese. The sweetness of the corn went well with the rich cheese! I opted for the tomato broth. Each person gets to order three meats at a time. And you can get veggies, seafood, and sauces at the bar. The service was excellent! I will probably pick a different flavor of broth next time since it wasn't as tasty as I would've liked. The choice of music was very interesting tho...very sad boy music that day. Overall a great experience!

Gateway mall by megaplex. -I guess it's fine if I'm stuck at gateway -has an all you can eat sushi option for $32. But only for dinner. -Korean fried chicken- 4. Taste good. But seemed like it's been sitting under a warmer all day. -911 roll-6. I didn't like the crab inside -sunset roll-6. Same. Didn't like the crab -salmon carpaccio- 2. Salmon was tough.

Stopped by during lunchtime after wandering around SLC for most of the morning. Wide selection of items from the cold bar. Lunch options for the meat are limited, but cuts are still good. Condiment selection was also excellent (recommend the spicy ponzu and sesame sauce).

This is well worth the value for AYCE. There's a huge veggie and seafood bar in the middle of the restaurant that included crab, shrimp, mussels, clams, fish balls, octopus, and more. It was always stocked. There's also a good sauce bar as well. In addition, there are appetizers included to order. The meat was well worth the value. Each order came with 4-5 thinly sliced meat. It included waygu which was a huge win. I recommend the waygu and the pork belly. Service could have been better. It was sometimes tough to wave down the waiter to reorder meats. Aside from that, it was a good experience and I would come back for this.

We were out to celebrate with family and friends. We had reservations for ten of us and they were able to accommodate our large party. This restaurant is very clean and the selection of items can't be beat. All the veggies are fresh. They keep the seafood properly chilled. They even have wagyu thinly sliced as an option. The toppings or dipping sauces are quite tasty too. Their appetizers were great! We really enjoyed the different broths available. For the veggie lovers, there is a veggie broth available too. It was very tasty, not too salty either. This restaurant has fun K-Pop music to listen to while you're enjoying your delicious meal. The customer service was top notch too. Really glad we came here to celebrate!

Will always recommend! Love the all you can eat and the regular menu! Great price for all you ge

I think this was an amazing hotpot place. It was a very nice set up as well with rhe salad and veggies bar and the sauce bar. The staff was very welcoming and helpful when guiding is what is are good portion sizes and suggestions iteams. We went for the shabu shabu/hotpot and it was great. We each ordered around 8 platea of meat and had at least one full plate of veggies from the salad bar. They also provided a complete appetizer sampler with the all you can eat. And the total for dinner was about 30$ a person which was honestly pretty good for the amount we ate. I enjoyed the process and being able to pick and choose how much to eat to still get a super filling meal without having to pay alot and choosing just what you like so you arent left with lots of leftovers. Would definitely come again if I am in the salt lake area.

Very good sushi!! They have all you can eat sushi for $30 as well as after 8pm (not sure the exact days) but the entire sushi menu is $5 per item. It's a really good deal and the food is great. The restaurant is clean and a good environment.

Hands down my fave hot pot place in Utah! Excellent service, clean and great vibes, and amazing food. The appetizer sampler is great and the beef is high quality - especially the dinner menu. Love coming here for the fresh food!

We had a great experience. Reservations recommended. We didn't have reservations, so the wait for the shabu area was 45 minutes, but they ran out of sushi for the sushi side of the restaurant. This is all you can eat, and the price was great, $30 for adults and $15 for 10 and under.The meat and vegetables were fresh with a good variety of ramen to choose from. The restaurant is pretty loud, so perfect for kids.

That's Hot. I have been to many hot pot spots in Utah and none of them compare to the one and only Mr. Shabu. After tonight's experience I was compelled to write a review despite being here so many times I asked myself why haven't I done so ? The atmosphere is very modern laid back and cozy. All their appetizers are great and their hot pot ingredients are extensive. Do yourself a favor for you first timers try the tonkotsu. Great broth to go with anything you throw at it. Meat selection is amazing and never disappoints. Lastly the main reason I am writing this review is we were surprised by the manager with a flaming baked sushi roll on the house ! This has never happened before and it made me love restaurant even more. The roll was called 911 roll and not only is it served flaming it has an amazing smoky taste and aroma. Highly recommend it !! Enjoy !

Nice dining room but for a la carte shushi server would not ask to remove cucumber from the roll... he said that was customization ... so I guess food allergies don't count at Mr Shabu!!! We left

This review update is very overdue. I have been to Mr. Shabu a few more times since their soft opening and it is a good option for Hot Pot, specifically if you're in the downtown area, but also if you want the most upscale feel. My biggest complaint about Mr. Shabu and why I would typically pick a different option these days is that their sauce bar is both quite limited in options and is prone to congestion. It makes it even worse that for an average height male you have to lean over to get to the ingredients in the back but for a shorter person and many women you are going to really have to strain to reach the items in the back. Like you're gonna have to put your chest in the soy sauce if you want to get some peanuts from the back type of situation. I mentioned the limited options for the sauce bar and the most glaring for me, at least on my last visit, was that there was very little to spice up your sauce. No crushed chilis, no chopped Thai chilies, no chili oil. That's a pretty huge bummer for me. Just like the sauce bar I'd say they have one of the more limited ingredient bars in town. They do keep a few items like halved crabs and whole shrimp, at least the times I've been there, but overall I think they have the least variety of any of the hot pot places I've been to lately. If you are downtown I think this is the spot, so if you are visiting the area don't let me scare you away unless the idea of a crowded sauce bar and lack of spicy options is as much a deal breaker for you as it is for me. If you go down State St to just past 35th South there are a couple of options that I like better. OMBU Hot Pot and Top Pot are both a better choice, if not quite as upscale in ambiance they are far more upscale in options.

I went here for the all you can eat sushi with my husband. We tried all different t kinds of rolls. My husbands favorite was the Philadelphia roll and I enjoyed the Call 911 roll that came in ti foil and was lit on fire. I also like the volcano roll. I know this is a hot pot restaurant so I'll need to come back to eat the hot pot. We weren't very impressed with the sushi unfortunately. The service was also not great and we didn't think we got our rolls very quickly. I did love the set up of the restaurant though it was nice and open and modern.
