Went here with my family a few weeks ago. The restaurant is divided into 2 main areas. Half of it is for regular table dining and the other half is for shabu shabu. My family and I opted for the latter.
The menu shows you how to order with steps 1-4.
Step 1: You choose your broth. I decided to go for the spicy miso. I loved this broth. It has the right amount of spice and the flavors were just right!
Step 2: you choose 2 dipping sauces. I went with ponzu and goma. I liked the ponzu way more than the goma sauce. Ponzu had a strong lemon flavor which I liked. Goma tasted more on the bland side.
Step 3: Choose a main entree. So there was a miscommunication with us and the waitress here. My dad got the large order of the beef sampler and I was going to share it with him since I wasn't super hungry that night. Waitress informed us that we cannot share entrees which I thought was odd (I can understand from a business standpoint though). To make a long story short, EVERYONE needs to order an entree. You can share the entrees as long as EVERYBODY orders one, but you can't order just the soup base and share 1 entree btwn your group/date/significant other.
Step 4: Add on/extra. I didn't add anything extra since we had plenty of food already.
So would I come back? Yes I would. I did enjoy the broth and I feel like you get a huge amount of food for the price you pay. I do think the staff needs a bit more training because service was kind of sl
