Mikiya Wagyu Shabu House | Irvine

Top notch food, service, and ambience. The a5 wagyu was so soft and buttery, sushi and sashimi are actually quite good (better than a lot of the sushi restaurants), drink options are great (calpico, milk tea, grapefruit green tea), self serve station is awesome though I didn’t try any of the raw seafood stuff, broth options are nice, and we didn’t even get to the fried stuff because it was too much food. Soft serve is pretty meh, I’d rather have something tarty than vanilla or chocolate to refresh my taste buds. All in all, absolutely would come back. Not cheap but definitely very high quality!

I recently visited the newly opened Mikiya Wagyu Shabu Shabu in Irvine and it immediately set a new standard for premium hot pot in Orange County. The restaurant is elegant and comfortable, with attentive, professional service throughout the meal. We opted for the Diamond tier set for two, and it was absolutely worth every penny. The A5 Wagyu was exceptional — richly marbled, buttery, and undeniably some of the finest beef I’ve ever tasted. Paired with pristine fresh sashimi and a generous seafood platter featuring plump prawns, scallops, and abalone, every element of the set felt thoughtfully curated and of the highest quality. The broths were perfectly balanced, the vegetables crisp and fresh, and the selection of dipping sauces elevated the entire experience. From start to finish, the

This place is incredible. We just happened to notice it was open today (it's their first day) so we came in. We will definitely be back. The quality of the meat and vegetables was excellent. The sukiyaki and house broth are must-try. The staff was super friendly and attentive. Everyone took the time to explain the menu/concept. They keep everything clean and clear empty plates quickly. They have a milk tea bar and soft serve, as well as the veggie and sauce bar. They also have curry and a fancy rice dispenser. The bathrooms were clean and the open kitchen looked very clean too, even though it was busy.

Ok so you have to come here hungry. This is an awesome AYCE shabu shabu place from the Chubby Group. We got the silver and the meat quality and variety was already great.You can certainly get the higher tiers but I found the Silver had the best bang for your buck. The meat was tender and flavorful and the unlimited tea and sashimi were also good. This is definitely a must try if you like hotpot/shabu shabu! It can get busy so I would get a reservation.

Not cheap, but we had a great team-building event at Mikiya. When we arrived at 5 PM on a Wednesday, I was a bit worried because there was no line and only two tables were occupied. However, by 6 PM the place was completely full. We were glad we arrived early since our orders came out very quickly. All the food was delicious, and our server was kind and efficient.
