" This place is fantastic for a casual dining experience! The staff were helpful and explained the shabu shabu process since it was our first time. We tried the spicy miso broth and it was flavorful. The decor is warm and welcoming. I’ll surely be back next month for my birthday! " (*Curated Review*)

" This has become one of my go-to places for hotpot! Whenever I’m in the mood for a spicy broth, this place hits the spot. I appreciate the little touches like complimentary tea and a warm atmosphere. Can’t wait to come back soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a delightful evening at California Shabu Shabu with my friends! The food was incredibly fresh, particularly the beef and vegetables. The interactive dining experience was so fun, and our server explained everything very well. I recommend the spicy miso broth for a kick! Will definitely return! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was skeptical when trying shabu shabu for the first time, but this restaurant blew me away! The concept of cooking your own meal was so interactive, and there's nothing quite like it. We'll be coming back for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" I loved the cozy atmosphere and friendly service. However, I was left wanting more from the food. The quality was good but didn't quite justify the pricing. Would come back for the ambiance and service, though! " (*Curated Review*)

Archived Reviews (1154)

" 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*)
