If you are looking for the perfect first date restaurant or just a new place for you and your friends to try, Ushabu is the place! Its small, chic and cozy. I never tried Shabu Shabu but it was a great experience. I loved the hands- on interaction with the food with the raw meats, broth and vegetables. (Think fondue mixed with Mongolian grill mixed with hibachi). We got to talk with the owner and the employees and they were very nice and knowledgeable. The atmosphere is not loud which was great. They currently dont have a liquor license, so bring your own bottle of wine and enjoy a great shabu experience.
