Step 1: Make Sure Boiler is On
Careful! It's hot once it's on! Please ask for assistance if unsure
Step 2: Wait for Broth to Boil
Please wait for pot to begin boiling (you may put vegetables in at this time)
Step 3: Enjoy! You Have 90 Mins of Ayce!
Once broth is boiling, you may add meats and other items. We recommend adding one serving at a time to maintain cooking temperature. Please follow the recommended cooking time for all items
Step 4: If Your Pot Begins to Run Low on Broth, Ask for a Refill!

Shabu Shabu

Most items are raw. Please cook thoroughly

Played about 6 songs, all by The Weeknd, on a loop continuously, sometimes playing the same song back to back. Understaffed, and we sat at our table for 15 minutes before anyone checked on us and we got to begin our 90 minute session—even though it wasn’t particularly busy. Tip automatically added without telling us. Food was good and we got refills at a good pace once we began, but our broths were refilled with very bland broth, possibly just water, instead of the soy broth I chose or the Thai broth my gf got. The menu was recently changed mostly for the positive with new broths and more types of beef included at the same price points as previously middle levels.

Hello and thank you for dining with us. We love to hear that we are taking a step in the right direction, but understand we still have a bit more to go! We'll bring your comments regarding playlist to our staff and ensure you don't have to re-listen to the thing on repeat. While we were indeed understaffed this week, this does not give us an excuse for poor service; thank you for your patience! Our new broths are made to be very mild, but we've sent a note to our back of house to ensure we get the seasoning right for both the soy and thai broth. if you have any additional feedback please email us within the email provided in our private reply.

We came here for Shabu Shabu. The ambience and location are amazing. They have a good selection of broths and very nicely valued AYCE amd rotary menu. We loved the flavor of broths as well as the selection offered in rotary for noodles, vegetables, and dumplings. The sauce station is also nice. The meats however are not cut in bite size portions and are hard to manage without knife or scissors. The menu is also different from the one shown on the website. Otherwise great place !

I made a reservation for 2 pm through OpenTable. They contacted me twice saying my reservation was coming up. When we got to the restaurant, it did not open until 4 PM very disappointed This restaurant needs to coordinate with OpenTable so you can’t make a reservation when the restaurant is not even open. The sign on the door of the restaurant said it opened on Sundays at 11:30.

Very disappointed. Made a reservation for 6/26/24 via OpenDoor and the establishment was closed. I have eaten here before and it was delicious but slightly expensive. I’m not sure what happened but it was a huge disappointment and true inconvenience.

Hello Angela and we truly apologize for the inconvenience. We're working internally with our staff to understand what happened and ensure we don't accept reservations when we are closed.

I've been to this place before, and I'm liking the new menu! It was nice to have the split bowl with both broths, and the new instant ramen additions were awesome! Can't wait to return for another visit!

This is a great place for AYCE hotpot. A nice setting, the staff is very friendly and attentive. The quality of the protein is excellent. Good selection, not overwhelming. Individual hotplates for your hotpot.

I went for my daughter’s birthday and had the most amazing time. It wasn’t my first hot pot but it’s was my first rotary one and we really enjoyed ourselves. I really enjoyed my waitress/waiter because they all helped, made sure to remove used plates and made sure we were ok at all times, the customer service was top notch! Now the food was top level fresh, soo many options to add to your noodles, vegetables and meat, plus the wagyu was excellent and all the things meat, I forgot to get my garlic rice and ice cream but I’m going back in like a week so I’ll remember then lol I was sooo full anyways lol GREAT EXPERIENCE 10 out of 10
