Shabuway is a great and comfortable place to dine. The service is very attentive and the gentleman working the slicer is very kind, respectful, and knowledgeable. Enjoy your time at this establishment and you will not be disappointed.

I love hot pot and probably can eat it once a week everywhere, especially of the weather is cold outside. I love AYCE Chinese style hot pots with all types of meats, vegetables and bunch of stuff you would not think taste good being boiled!

This is my favorite restaurant for healthy lunch. If I don’t ask too many bowls of white rice, Shabu-shabu hot pot is low-carb, high-protein meal with good amount of dietary fiber, therefore I go to Shabuway at least once a week. The owner always carefully purchases the quality meats. When he could receive a good quality of beef blocks, he recommends Angus beef, for example, with confidence even I was about to ask Kobe beef which is higher priced. The owner is such a honest guy yet low-key usually.

Liked it~ the quantity was generous and for lunch (even on weekends) you just pay around $11.50 per person. As we were 2, we chose 1 plate of beef and 1 pork and both were delicious.

This is so sad!!!! Is it so hard to open a hotpot restaurant and you do your job to make sure your soup base is good? You have nothing to do but make sure your soup is good right?! But no sorry, this place is awful experience!!! So I had spicy miso, taste like water. I’m not even joking!!! And I asked them “can this be more flavorful? “ I mean add more miso into it. But they said no can do. They gave me more soup base but still taste the same. The quality of meat is so bad too. Kobe beef and angus beef. Taste like cardboard box. This is so sad. I love hot pot. But this place you can skip for sure.

Good food and now available for delivery on Doordash. How wonderful is that! However, can’t help but notice the meat portion is smaller (first pic) compare to last time I ordered (second pic).

Delicious meals. New way to try a soup, you can choose what to put in it, which sauces, meat and veggies. There are also dessert options. Typical Chinese restaurant with very good service and environment.

The food is awesome but they’ve gotten a cheap on the vegetables I got one little piece of broccoli and two shoots of asparagus that they chopped in it 1inch pieces and they used a lot of cabbage as a filler to make it look like you got a bunch of vegetables they didn’t used to be like that not with the last owners little disappointing but it’s still one of my favorite places but I always feel like I’m settling when I go there

We came here on a weekday night and it wasn’t too busy. Got the miso broth and combo of beef and lamb with regular vegetables. It was all good, just enough food for me (a little too much, I didn’t finish everything), but my friend got the same thing then ordered an extra plate of beef. There’s a ponzu and a peanut sauce to dip and those are both good. Casual, easy going place.
