New review--
So I decided to give this place a try after my first time. It's under new management. I really liked it! Still AYCE and seafood is part of it! You still have to make your own sauces but they have some pre-made ones that worked for me this time. The beef and crab legs were my fav. Def a must try. The price for dinner is $19 and you get 3 appetizers included. No 5 stars cause it took about 5 min for someone to notice us standing at the door and forever to get the check.
I think the dipping sauce is important to enjoy shabu. The meat and veggies aren't marinated so the broth and sauce is where you get the flavor. With that said, this place didn't have any good sauces. There was an assortment but nothing like the ponzu or peanut sauce you normally get. Additionally, we couldn't build our own sauce..no garlic, raddish, green onions, chili oil , pepper, nothing.... And they have their meat pre cut and stored in the fridge that you can help yourself too. No freshly cuts meat. the experience was different but not enough to get me back in those doors. The chicken was extra frozen granted the host waived the charge for the rice to compensate for that. Thanks but not coming back.
