| - This place just needs more customers - they do things right, the restaurant is clean, the food tasty, the prices reasonable. I went with friends for the first time a year ago -- and honestly forgot about it. They returned a few months later, and the owner remembered them, and also asked them how I was doing...pretty incredible.
There aren't that many shabu-shabu places in the valley -- sometimes I think their marketing tagline "Japense fondue" confuses folks -- most folks think cheese -- not broth when they think of fondue, and unless you're a foodie, you've probably not been exposed to it.
It couldn't be healthier -- for folks who don't know what shabu shabu is. It's simply broth-based fondue -- you choose your protein (shrimp, scallops, beef, chicken, tofu or any combination), and fire up your hot pot. Then, they bring you an abundance of salads and sauces, a perfectly acceptable miso soup, and you "cook"... It's fun, interactive -- they have wine, beer and a decent sake list (yes, they have unfiltered...) so it makes for a completely lovely evening.
