" This is my second time at Aki Shabu, and it was just as enjoyable as the first. The spicy creamy broth remains my favorite, and the quantity of food is very generous for the price. The staff remains attentive and genuinely nice. I can appreciate when cooks and servers take pride in their work. My only suggestion would be to improve the dessert options, as the strawberry ice cream is good but limited. Overall, I’ll keep recommending this place! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a wonderful dining experience at Aki Shabu. The broth was flavorful, and I appreciated the fresh selection of ingredients in the self-serve bar. The staff were friendly and patient as I navigated my first shabu shabu experience. If you're looking for a place that offers both good food and a relaxed environment, this is the spot for you. A little pricey, but totally worth it for the quality of the food. " (*Curated Review*)

" After hearing so much about Aki Shabu, I finally decided to visit, and I was not disappointed! The quality of the meat was top-notch, especially the lamb and wagyu. The self-serve vegetable bar was a game changer for me, allowing me to pick exactly what I wanted to complement my hot pot. The only downside was the wait time, which was longer than anticipated, but the friendly staff made the wait more bearable. Would definitely come back for more! " (*Curated Review*)

I particularly loved the spicy broth as it added an exquisite taste to each bite. Service was friendly and quick, making the dining experience all the more enjoyable. It’s a bit on the pricy side, but you get what you pay for! " (*Curated Review*)

" Aki Shabu is a lovely spot for shabu shabu! I took my family here for dinner, and everyone was delighted with the all-you-can-eat options. The meat was fresh, especially the wagyu, and the staff was incredibly helpful in guiding us through the menu. The ambiance is nice, though a bit basic, but it certainly didn't distract from our wonderful meal. Highly recommend this place! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had an average experience honestly. The food was decent but didn't blow me away like I expected. The waitstaff were friendly, but they seemed a bit overwhelmed on the weekend. Aki Shabu has a cozy environment, but it felt a bit noisy when busy, which might not be the best for an intimate dinner. I might return if I'm craving hot pot, but I'm not sure this will be my go-to place. " (*Curated Review*)
