To begin...their signage out front is small and vague. Perhaps they should indicate that there are two restaurants within its one suite?!
The meat selection was decent but I have an issue with imitation scallops being labeled and sold as the real deal....disappointing. Everything here is "a la carte." And they definitely over charge for less than ordinary vegetables and meat.
Shabu is Japanese...the restaurant in itself is Thai...it's definitely confusing as their most basic Thai dish, papaya salad was below average...actually it was simply gross. Shabu broth selection was numerous but it was simply flavorless and temperature heat hot...too hot.
Overall it was less than average and the service was mediocre at best. Considering the price that they charge....eating a bowl of Tom Tom soup elsewhere or a bowl of pho (Vietnamese) or even Ramen (anywhere but here) would have been more satisfying than this place.
