Kanpai BBQ and Shabu, located in the heart of Convoy District, offers an affordable, quality All-You-Can-Eat Dining experience featuring Hot pot/Shabu and Korean BBQ, with the option to enjoy both. For their KBBQ meats, the M-8 Wagyu Steak, Wagyu Brisket, and Chuck Eye were worth mentioning as they were high-quality and had a nice, juicy flavor. For the Hotpot, 2 broths could be chosen from their selection of 8 broth bases. Additionally, the meal also includes bottomless sodas/fruit tea, endless appetizers (e.g., Fries, Beef Curry, Miso Soup, Rice), alongside access to their sauce and salad bar. For dessert, try their Crispy Golden Buns with Condensed Milk or their Ice Cream bar, in which your sweet cravings won’t be disappointed. The staff was very accommodating and attentive during our

I can't say enough good things about this place. The quality, taste and variety of hot pot food was out of this world, and the service was amazing because our server is not only warm and friendly but highly informative and helped us decide from so many tempting choices with his expert description of everything. and there's no complicated pricing. One price for everything. That's it. Simple! His recommendations were perfect. We will definitely be back!

Tried this place for my wife’s 40th birthday for 35 people! Ronnie the Manager is exceptional. He set everything up and really helped ensure the celebration was amazing! And our servers Ben and Kelvin were extremely attentive, kept the beats coming, and forced us to eat ice cream! 🤷🏽‍♂️ Between the quality of the meats and outstanding service this place has my vote for San Diego’s best Japanese BBQ!

My kids took my husband and I here for a weekend lunch celebration. The restaurant was separated into hot pot section and BBQ section. They wanted BBQ so we all have to have it unless we want to split up and eat separately. It's nice they include lunch pricing on the weekend. The buffet area was clean and kept stocked. The meats we had to order from the server. Service was courteous but nobody was clearing our used plates so we had to move them ourselves. There were nice variety of veggies, noodles, and seafood options. My kids will probably want to go back to try the new menu with wagyu BBQ

We came here at 4 PM on a Sunday and found plenty of parking. Last time we tried coming here, we could not find any parking spot that we left after circling a few times. We were seated right away. At this time, we only had the option to either do BBQ or Shabu shabu. One table cant have 1 bbq and 1 shabu. Our first order, we had the pork belly, brisket, wagyu rib fingers, and spicy baby octopus. The restaurant had a veggie bar, sauce bar, soups, & drinks area that is included with the AYCE. While we waited for our meat, we got some sauce, veggies, & drinks. After we devoured our first order, which were very good. We ordered the beef tongue and the wagyu steak. All I can say is, just the wagyu steak alone makes this dinner very worth it. It had the perfect marbling and it just melte
