| - I've never had shabu shabu before, but our meal at Yojie was such a memorable experience! My husband and I went out to eat with a friend who will be moving out of town soon, and I'm so glad that we went to this restaurant because it was such a fun meal that we will remember.
The decor is very nice, and it's obvious that everything about this restaurant was well thought out. The napkins and chopsticks were set out in such a cute way, the bar looked so nice, it was very appealing. I'm glad that we came with a small group because it is a very intimate restaurant with two counters. They were playing hilarious Japanese game shows on the television screens and we enjoyed them.
The food itself was great! Having never tried japanese fondue before I feel uncomfortable giving it a five star rating, but it was probably a 4.5! My husband and I split the largest portion of the house beef, and it was a filling meal. He has tried a lot of subiyaki during a time that he lived in Korea, and insisted that the meal was traditional and great. They do charge 5$ to split an order, but you also get an extra portion of rice, your own pot (so you can choose different broths if you would like) and your own sauces. My husband tried subiyaki and I tried the spicy miso. The miso tasted wonderful but was not as spicy as I would have liked (and I am not very tolerant of hot food)! I added chili sauce, though, and it was just fine. My husband loved the subiyaki, so if you would like a sweet broth, that's the one to pick!
We didn't order any dessert because the meal was so filling, but if we return I would try the white chocolate and green tea fondue.
Overall, I'm really happy that we ate here. This would be a wonderful date night restaurant, we will be back!
