Broth and food are extremely fresh and high quality! Kind and friendly staff. Can’t wait to come back! Only thing I’d say is I wish there was a sauce bar. You’re provided soy sauce with a side of garlic and scallions. It is a very good base but I like how other places let you customize your sauce. Thanks for the great food!

This was our first hot pot experience, and it was awesome. Definitely recommend Shabu Zen as they walked us through the process and made suggestions. If you haven’t gone to a hot pot, do it! Food was delicious! Experience was awesome. Can’t wait to go back!

This place is in china town. It was really good. I ordered beef. My husband ordered seafood for his shabu shabu. But I personally prefer beef. After I was done eating beef , I boiled the noddle it was delicious. I highly recommend it.

Me, my wife and kids love this hot pot . I’ve been coming here for 10 years plus and it’s always on point. Everything is always on point and the Wagyu beef is to die for. Some of my favorite things on the menu are the sautéed baby clams and their watermelon smoothie. I also can’t forget to mention the service, it is fast and always good. If you’re looking for good hot pot in China Town you must go here.

Shabu Zen IS THE place to go to in the city for hot pot. The quality is good and so are the flavors. Been going here for over 10 years. Picture is to capture the vibe. Will get more when I return. Be prepared, this is first come & first served. You won’t be seated until your entire party has arrived. It doesn’t appear to be wheelchair friendly. You need to go up stairs to get into the building, didn’t see a ramp option. Salmon sashimi is really good quality!

Decent spot for hot pot in Chinatown, they offer various combo options including surf and turf. The kimchi broth was a bit of a letdown but their Tonkotsu broth is great!

An all-around great place to enjoy a filling meal! I don’t live anywhere near a hot pot place, so I might be a little biased. But the sashimi and the fancy beef were so good! I would definitely come back. Also loved the atmosphere!
