Unfortunately I didn't enjoy YOBO shabu as much as I hoped. I would rate this place 3.5 stars.. almost a 4 if a few things are fixed.
I ordered the prime rib beef platter and my boyfriend got the beef sampler platter. I chose the tomato beef broth and my boyfriend got the sukiyaki. Both broths were good and flavorful. Sukiyaki was sweet almost like teriyaki and my was tart sweet and savory. No complaints with broth.
The veggies that came with it were awesome as well. I loved the spinach and cabbage and tofu. They paired well with the Goma sauce, which was delicious. Don't bother ordering the YOBO special spicy sauce. It's like regular hot sauce and there is already hot sauce on the table.
My prime rib was sliced nicely but the meat took a long time to come. Way after my veggies so I just was eating rice and vegetables for a while. That puzzled me because I thought all they had to do was cut it but maybe that takes a while. Also there was a piece of bone in almost every piece of meat that I had to spit out. I bit on it a couple times.
That was the main reason why I ranked it 3 stars instead of 4. However I would definitely come back again because everything else was good. Maybe next time I'll have a better experience.
