| - My first shabu shabu experience was at the Yojie Artesia location while visiting Cali cousins and it was AMAAAAZING. I had such a wonderful dining experience and when I heard they were opening a Las Vegas location, I freaked out from excitement!
The overall experience was the same-- a U-shaped bar if you're trying shabu shabu or sukiyaki and some non-bar tables for other food items. The menu looked slightly different. There were some new items (Wagyu, Pork Belly, Swisher sauce, etc) that I didn't see at the Artesia location and also, the prices were higher. Then again, Vegas is always expensive so I wasn't entirely shocked.
I always opt for Samurai Yojie's Cut Shabu Shabu. 7 oz. of delicious meat, although I think I could still kill the Sumo (10 oz.) if I'm a hungry hippo. It comes with the sliced meat, brown or white rice, assorted fresh vegetables, broth, tofu, noodles & 2 sauces (Goma is life!). Swish swish and cook that meat, dip them in your sauces & devour them along with your veggies as you wish. Service is excellent so make sure to ask to customize your overall meal with various seasonings if you love it spicy.
Even with all the food, my friend & I had room for dessert & we ordered the Green Tea White Chocolate with Strawberries and Banana. I almost licked the bowl clean; it was that good. My palate was as happy as my belly. It was a good ending to a yummy meal.
Yojie is a little pricey but the excellent customer service, friendly ambiance, delicious food are worth it. This place is all in all just good vibes! And you never know, you might be able to meet the co-owner, the ever hilarious comedian Jo Koy while dining there. ;)
