    I came to Tabu Shabu on a Friday right before happy hour ended, and they were kind enough to still honor it—great service! This spot has been hyped a lot, and I’d say it’s worth the visit, especially with the happy hour discount. Without it, the prices are a bit on the higher side, but the quality makes up for it.I ordered the lamb and beef, both of which were flavorful and satisfying. The highlight was definitely the service of turning my leftover hot pot into porridge—it made for a delicious and hearty late-night meal. It’s a lot of food, so you definitely get your fill.Overall, a solid spot for hot pot if you’re looking for good quality and unique offerings. Definitely recommend catching happy hour if you can!

    I had a wonderful experience at this establishment. The wait time for one person was minimal, so no complaints there, but be cognizant of the fact that a larger group may have to wait a bit as the place is bustling. There is a wide array of menu options in regard to broth, beef selection, and other options some may be receptive to in trying out. The service and staff were extraordinary and made me feel truly welcome and were dutiful in the way they attended to their costumers. I am highly suggesting this place to try out the food and to have a great place to hang out with friends and family. Will be coming back again.

    Service is always on point. They have the best service out of any restaurant in Orange County hands down. Pro tip ask for Michelle her warm smile and friendly attitude will make you feel like your dining at home. Limited seating so bake sure to write your name down on the iPad to the right when you walk in. Wait times are fast they have a good turn over. Great place to take a date. The food quality is a step above other Shabu places I’ve eaten. The meat quality is amazing. So much flavor from just the meat it’s insane. They also have delicious sashimi grade salmon that’s very fresh. The quality of the food speaks for itself.
