Not only is the shabu shabu awesome, but I just tried their mixed seafood soup (lunch special) and I can't stop thinking about it! The leftovers taste great at home too!

I like this place because it's big and clean. But they always have a long wait. You get a number and wait. The staff is okay. They'll help you when you ask for it. They give you lots of condiments here. You'll enjoy yourself!

This place is not the most romantic, nor the does it have the best decor or service, but if you are looking for the BEST food in town and at a great price, THIS IS THE PLACE! ...

I've been to this place several times now. Hands down, the best place for shabu shabu in LA. They offer so much more than a typical or even upscale Japanese-style shabu shabu restaurant. The style they serve here is more of the traditional Mongolian style, which is the original style developed for the Mongolian soldiers in the 13th century.

The service is great even though they get so insanely busy. If you're a first timer to this place, I seriously recommend you go during an off hour. That way you can take your time to really check out the menu and ask any questions.

Pros:
1. Far better than any Japanese style shabu shabu place in LA, and I've been to most all in Little Tokyo and the Westside, and yes, even better than Shabu Shabu House in J-town.
2. The vegetables served for the shabu shabu are long cut greens, not awkward pieces of cabbage you see so often. They even have a sign that tells you not to cook the greens too long so you can more of the nutritious goodness :-)
3. The portions are larger than most other shabu shabu places.
4. You get a good assortment of Korean appetizers as a part of the meal.
5. They do NOT offer Kobe beef which is just ridiculous for a shabu shabu place. Kobe steak or burger fine, but for shabu shabu? What's the point?
6. At the end they make a special rice treat for you which is excellent.

Cons:
1. Can be very crowded during peak eating hours.
2. Not located in the trendiest area.

Get your eat on!
