| - Not the typical Japanese Shabu. This is Chinese owned and prepared hot pot with the sesame (Goma) sauce. Instead of ponzu sauce they had soy sauce, which I didn't use at all. It doesn't come out with a set of different veggies and noodles. You have to choose from a list. Plus side was there was a good selection of protein (meats, fish, seafood), veggies, and noodles to choose from. The food was good. The downfall is that it is expensive! They need a plate with mixed veggies, proteins, noodles, and combination of all. Otherwise, it gets too expensive to want to try everything. We ended up ordering about 16 items and bill came to be about $87 + tip for 2 people!!!!
Taste: 4 stars (need ponzu sauce. Who dips with soy sauce? Need more than 1 sauce for variety of dipping sauces)
Service: 4 stars (server checked on us but pot and set up was a little slow to start)
Price: 2.5 stars (Need combo selections as indicated above instead of one item each as it quickly adds up. Also, could lower cost or option of smaller portion for less price)
Variety of food: 4 (should have more fish options such as salmon instead of just 1 - white fish)
Sauces: 3 starts. (Goma was good but need GF sauces. Also, get rid of soy sauce. Need ponzu/GF ponzu instead if you call it Shabu. Other sauce options would be nice too)
Overall: 3.5 - Need some work to get 5 stars
