" An absolute delight! We visited with a group and indulged in different dishes. The shabu shabu and sushi were divine. The server was cheerful and never let our glasses run empty. Highly recommend for a celebratory dinner! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was a bit disappointed with my visit to California Shabu Shabu. While the sushi was incredibly fresh, the hotpot options were somewhat limited. I would have liked to see more variety in the meats. The staff was nice, but the wait was longer than expected. Not sure if I’d come back soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" A great choice for hotpot lovers, but they can work on improving their menu clarity. I enjoyed the food overall, but the pricing felt a bit confusing. I will return because the food is genuinely delicious. " (*Curated Review*)

" After hearing wonderful things, I finally visited California Shabu Shabu. The atmosphere was lively. We had the seafood platter and found everything to be fresh and delightful. Just a hint: the spicy miso broth is a must try! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a lovely dinner here last week! The server guided us through the menu and was super polite. The atmosphere was calming, perfect for a dinner out with friends. I enjoyed the tonkotsu broth; it was hearty! Everyone around me seemed pleased as well. " (*Curated Review*)

" Disappointed with how things went. The braised beef I ordered was overcooked, and many of the offerings felt lackluster. It wasn't quite what I expected given the hype. Service was decent, but the food did not meet my standards. Impossible to share at such prices. " (*Curated Review*)

" Not my best dining experience. The food was decent but didn’t blow me away. The hotpot was okay, but the portion sizes left me a bit hungry. The place looks lovely but it didn’t reflect in the cuisine. Probably won’t return soon. " (*Curated Review*)
