| - Located in Chinatown, in the same plaza as Veggie House and other restaurants. This restaurant is located on the 1st floor and parking can be a challenge on a busy weekend.
My husband and I came by here for lunch the day after Christmas because we wanted something warm on that chilly day. As soon as we walked in (around 12:45 pm), we were greeted by a male employee (whom I think was the manager or possibly the owner). He seated us at a table and handed up menus. We ended up getting:
Edamame- Normally $3.45 prior to tax, but we scored an order of this for free with Yelp check in (it pays to check in people!). They salted these and provided a bowl to dump the shell. I think I would prefer these to not be salted but I have never been to a restaurant that does not salt these prior to serving. Anyways, they were standard, but pretty good.
Chicken Sukiyaki (4 oz, lunch portion), $8.95 prior to tax- I wasn't too hungry so I opted for the lunch portion. And I thought the 4 oz portion was more than enough for me and my husband actually had 1/2 of it (since I wasn't that hungry). All of the shabu menu items come with a plate of raw vegetables (cabbage, broccoli, carrots, a few small cubes of tofu), udon and rice. This is definitely plenty of food for lunch and a good price. The sukiyaki in general was good, but a little on the salty side. I had to add water to my bowl to dilute it a bit.
Prime Rib Eye (6 oz, healthy portion), $14.95 prior to tax- My husband decided to order the smaller portion (8 oz, hungry portion is $18.95 prior to tax by the way) for lunch. Just like my lunch, his came with a plate of vegetables, udon and rice. He liked his prime rib eye.
Herbal Tea, $2.45 prior to tax- Because I was still cold and also I had a scratchy throat (The cold just doesn't agree with me) I decided to order a tea. However, this tea is just from the can and so it is served cold. But the employee who seated us said he could heat it up for me (they do serve green tea that is heated but I don't like green tea). And so he brought out my tea in a teacup, wrapped in a napkin so that I would not burn my hand when holding it. This tea tasted really good and wished I had more (I used to drink this tea when I was kid). This type of tea can be purchased at any Chinese market (probably could get some at the market that is in this plaza).
----------------------
(Total= $28.29 after tax, prior to tip)
When we first made our lunch order, we had requested for hot water. Our hot water was brought out in plastic cups. You shouldn't put hot food or beverages in plastic. So we didn't bother to drink it. This is why I decided to order some tea to warm up (even though I had shabu, I wasn't getting warm enough).
Service was friendly and quite attentive. This other server who was also waiting on us got my husband another bowl of rice (free of charge) and also refilled my husband's ice water beverage.
Food was good and wait time for all that we needed to have shabu was not long.
The ladies' restroom was clean upon this visit.
Would come back here again (just don't order the hot water and don't forget to check in for your free order of edamame).
By the way, there is free WiFi here (fast too). Just ask for the password.
