Mr. Shabu

Wow, I don't normally like hot pot restaurants, but this one is the exception. Exception. The staff was extremely helpful and made sure our food and glasses were always full. The selection of soups and broth typic from is what made the difference in this experience. They were all extremely good. The selection of appetizers in itself is worth coming for. This is a must if you're looking for a good experience and great food!

Love this place! Especially late night $5 sushi, make sure to get here early it’s only for the first 30 people. Favorite rolls are Call 911, Titanic, Rainbow. The staff is great, please be nice to them!!

I usually don’t write reviews, but the service we received today was so bad that I felt I had to leave one. Around 7 p.m. today, five of us went together, and our server’s name was Edward. Even though we arrived, it took about around 10 minutes before he took our order. The restaurant was not busy at all. After that, he never came back—not even once—to clear empty plates or refill our water. When we asked to clean plates, he told us to wait for a moment, but only came back much later. This was the worst service I’ve ever experienced at any restaurant. I didn’t want to leave a tip, but since we were a party of five, an 18% gratuity was automatically added, so I had no choice but to pay it. If the restaurant owner sees this review, they seriously need to retrain this server. I have attached

This was our first time ever going to a Japanese hot pot restaurant, and Mr. Shabu absolutely blew us away. I took my family and everyone loved it. The staff was incredibly friendly and took the time to explain how everything worked and what they recommended, which made the experience fun and stress-free. The food was amazing, fresh, and flavorful, and the whole tableside cooking experience was something we really enjoyed. From start to finish, it was a wonderful experience. We had a great time, left very full and happy, and we will definitely be coming back. Highly recommend!

Full 5 stars for me. I didn’t expect to find such fine Shabu place in Salt Lake City. Mr Shabu rivals some of great shabu places I’ve been to in LA and Vegas. My favorite broth is the Spicy Tonkatsu. It’s not on the menu, but you can ask the server to make it spicy. Going with appetizer sampler as suggested by server was a great choice. We got to try out all of them without overloading and still got to focus on the some good protein. Great meat and sauce selection. Beef was slice very thinly, perfect for shabu while remaining tender. Definitely a place worth revisiting.
