Shabu Plus Rotary Hot Pot Chinatown

Beoordelingen
This hotpot experience was fantastic! The meat quality was great for the price, particularly the ribeyes and briskets, which I absolutely loved. The pork was decent, and I didn’t try the chicken. They had a great variety of green vegetable options, although adding some lemon grass would have really enhanced the flavors. The sides were incredible; they even tasted better than the main course meat and vegetables. It’s a good idea to create your own sets of two sauces: one with green chilies, cilantro, and their house sauce, and the other with sweet tones. These sauces complemented the tonkatsu broth perfectly. Highly recommended!
Kimchi broth is fire 🔥 so good & comforting! if you love spicy & tangy literally always go back to it over other broths but sukiyaki also flavorful. Favorite part is throwing all the different textures of bean curds so they soak up the broth with every bite oh my…. Always yummy! always clean! always top tier service. we cant wait to go back soon!
This restaurant was a super cool experience! I've been to a hot pot restaurant before but not one with a rotary/conveyor belt. The rotary addition added a refeshing aspect to the whole experience. We went with the hot pot experience although there was sushi as well. There were 5 broths to chose from and one was a kimchi broth. My party enjoyed the tomato and kimchi broths the most. All of the ingredients were fresh and there were a variety of items to pick from like leafy greens, noodles, proteins, rice cakes, fish cakes, etc. And because you're able to make a well balanced meal with all the ingredients provided, you just feel so full and fulfilled after. The staff were nice, attentive, and explained the entire process well for my fellow first-time hot potters. The atmosphere of the place was also very enjoyable. They played a lot of kpop music which I enjoy so it was pleasant to have it playing in the background. Overall, loved this place and am happy we were able to stop by, highly recommend!
Experienced the ‘adventure’ menu! It’s fun getting food from the rotating conveyor belt—a lot of side dishes to choose from. You can also choose from the available broths. I chose Tonkatsu -so good. You can also try the Kimchi Jjigae. The crew assigned to us always makes sure we have all our orders right away. The desserts are a plus, too!!
The experience was positive because the food was something new for me. While I appreciated the atmosphere, I found the service to be lacking. None of the staff offered assistance or explained the operation of the hot pot heat until my soup began to burn. Someone arrived with an less than ideal attitude and asked us to turn it off. If you enjoy eating a lot, the "all you can eat" option may be a good value. However, I think paying almost $60 per person is expensive for those who don't eat a lot.
