Stopped here with my wife and 3yr old boy right after the lunch crowd-1:30ish. Place was clean and the staff was friendly (albeit small). We had the lunch special which is basically less meat and veg. -9.95ish
Spicy broth tasted good, but not necessarily spicy..more like flavorful.
Good for us to get our jones for shabu, shabu,... But does not compare to Boston area etc.
