| - Another bold statement - I think Vegas has way better Japanese food options than SF/Bay area... except when it comes to shabu-shabu. Other categories like ramen, sushi, curry, tonkatsu, etc. I think LV wins for convenience, ease of getting to and most importantly, quality. But I think Vegas is a bit lacking in the shabu-shabu department. Maybe it's because I haven't ventured off yet into what Henderson has to offer, but so far Swish Shabu Shabu on Spring Mountain did not impress. However "Swish" on Sahara does the job for me a little better (one of the servers told me they are connected, but "not really", whatever that means). I personally like the set up of the Swish on Sahara more. I normally go for the Prime Rib Eye "healthy" size option in Sukiyaki with tons of garlic, but still ask for the sides of ponzu and sesame sauce. I do wish this place had fresher looking veggies and higher quality beef (comparing this to the likes of Shabu House in SF/Burlingame), but again, it's the best option I've found so far. The AYCE options are definitely cheaper out in LV and this place even allows you to get multiple meat options. If you're looking to save a few bucks, go between 4-6pm and you get 20% off the regular menu. Last time I went in at about 5:50pm and didn't finish eating until 7pm and our server still gave us the 20% discount without having to remind them. If anyone else has any good shabu-shabu recommendations, please send them my way!
