| - I've been to this place before and enjoyed the experience. Last night was an exception.
The meat that came out was all fat. That's not exaggerated at all. It was all fat.
I spoke to the waiter who apologized and then brought out more meat. This meat was better.
Then, I noticed the udon. The udon with the broth at the end of the meal is the best part of shabu for me. Yobo served just scraps of freezer-burned udon. Not even enough for a bowl. I asked if this was the correct amount that comes with an order and the waiter stated that it was.
That's bull of course. You can look at the pictures on yelp and my udon order was half that. Not just freezer burnt scraps which were served to us.
Also, looking through the pictures I noticed that we were served less cabbage and tofu then the pictures posted lead you to believe comes with an order.
I will add that we did not come in for lunch. We paid full price and arrived at 8:30 to a mostly dead restaurant.
I love shabu. Eat it all the time in Cali, Vegas, and I even have it at home on an induction cooker.
This was the worst experience I ever had at a Shabu restaurant. And the only reason for the extra star was because I've had good experiences there before, and the broth was fantastic as always.
I will not be back to this restaurant and will drive farther to other Shabu spots for better experiences.
One final thing, if the lack of vegetables, fatty meat, and lack of udon was because their business is struggling, then I feel sympathy. Maybe though, if the food was consistent, then you would not be in this predicament.
Will not return.
