For those who appreciate getting their money's worth, I brought a scale on my last visit and weighed each meat plate. On average, they weighed about 190 grams, but they ranged from 110 to 250 grams depending on how many slices were included. The original broth is vegetable-based and doesn't add much flavor to the meats and vegetables, making it ideal for anyone who wants to preserve the true taste of their ingredients or let their dipping sauce take center stage. The sukiyaki broth, on the other hand, imparted a noticeable sweetness to everything. Personally, I enjoy cooking my vegetables in that broth since I usually don’t dip them in sauce, and the contrast of savory and sweet is quite enj...
This is forever my go to place for Shabu! The workers are the sweetest! They consistantly check your table to see if your group is doing okay and if anything was needed. This is my 4th time coming here and it never disappoints. (Photos taken were from at the restaurant few months ago) I came here last night dor a birthday and I normally get the sukiyaki and the house spicy broth! It's so good! Even better when you combine both! Great quality of meat(s)! When I ordered the meat, instead of giving one of each on the beef side of the menu, they gave 2 each of the meat. Which was a but to much since there were 5 of us. But that was my fault, I should have said 1 of each for both sides of the tab...
This was my first visit to the restaurant, and it happened to be a Saturday night. It was quite busy, but we only had to wait about 5 minutes. There were only two servers working at the time. An older busser noticed us waiting after setting a table and called over one of the servers. The male server promptly seated us. The service was decent, but with only two staff members, we occasionally had to ask for things more than once. However, they were polite and accommodating. Additionally, we appreciated being able to help ourselves to sides like veggies, noodles, and mushrooms. For a $30 all-you-can-eat dinner on a weekend, we were very satisfied. They even offered us probiotic drinks at the en...
I would say more like a 4.5 but it quite a 5 First of all, there was no wait and the food was great. All the meat tasted like good quality. Veggies fresh. Broth good. Service was great. They actually give you a lot of meat in your first round. There was nothing necessarily wrong with this place, but I just feel like at the price that it was, I have had much better at a similar price point for AYCE. I would say yes, if you're in the area and craving shabu, then definitely go. But If you're not, I don't think you have to go out of your way to go out there.

Was debating between two other AYCE shabu places in the area but ended up here! Shabu 88 is a solid AYCE shabu spot within the area and I'd say it's just as good as the more expensive ones. There is a self-serve veggie and sauce bar and they also provide gloves to keep everything a bit more hygienic. Lots of options to choose from and they definitely offer a good variety, which is really important! The meat quality was good and the broth itself was also pretty standard. Overall would recommend this to anyone in the area!
Love this place. We got here on a Thursday night and it's not busy, giving out very chill vibes with great playlist and excellent service. On top of it all, meat quality was superb get the shoulder top blade if you like fatty meat, and the boneless brisket for the lean type. We had the sukiyaki and original broth and I combined them both, soooo good! Will definitely come back!
Good selection of meats and flavorful soup base. Where it lacks is in the sauce and vegetables department. Limited options, but at least what's available is fresh. No hot food at this time, probably because of Covid precautions. Service is fast including delivery of meats and clean up of empty plates. A party of 4 would use one split pot.
The service was outstanding—definitely a 5-star experience! However, I would rate the meat quality at 3 stars. I plan to return at least once more to give the meat another chance and reassess its quality.

One of the best shabu-shabu spot I've been to. Will be back again The outside of this place isn't that appealing but don't let that deter you because the inside is well maintained and clean.
Came here on a Tuesday night, not busy at all. Good quality meat and broth. Portions were good. Service was great. Would definitely come back.
