RAKU Shabu Shabu House

Absolutely love this hotpot spot! The meats are incredibly fresh, and the veggie bar offers a wide variety of high-quality options. The soup bases are delicious, and I didn’t feel thirsty afterward—so it seems they’re MSG-free. I really enjoy that it’s individual pots, so everyone can pick their own soup base and customize their meal. To top it off, they serve creamy vanilla soft-serve ice cream at the end—perfect way to finish. The service is excellent too — special shoutout to the manager, Vanessa, for being so attentive and friendly!

It was great quality food, the freshest meat for hot pot! Also the greatest soup based we ever have! The greatest tomato soup, chicken soup! No msg at all compared to other hot pot places! Great quality of the veggies bar as well! The best thing is soft serve after hot pot! Great cocktail and sake as well!!

Fantastic meal for three! We had the beef, pork belly, and lamb with the Mala, Chicken, and Sukiyaki broths. Everything was incredibly fresh, especially the high-quality vegetable bar. Only two minor critiques: the experience feels more Chinese than Japanese (especially the rice, which tasted like a different variety). Also, rice isn't included with the meats and is a bit pricey as a separate item. Overall, very high-quality ingredients and highly recommended!

This is my first time having hotpot when I visiting Seattle, especially in raining season, chill weather is great for having hotpot. My friend suggest Raku to me and taste like Taiwanese hotpot, I would say this place reminds me of hotpot place in Taiwan, soup base is favourable and self-serve veggies and ingredients bar. Servers are very friendly and explain the process of ordering, what type of meats suitable which soup base and they will keep asking if you want to add more soup base. I like to their spicy mala soup base, not super spicy but it will get spicier after a while of boiling it. When it gets spicier, it blends in with the veggies that they provide. At the of the hotpot, server will ask if we want free dessert, ice cream!!!! I would definitely visit this place again when I d

Came with my family and we had a really great experience. The interior is very tastefully decorated and comfortable. Each person gets their own pot and I had the tomato broth which was perfect and tasted very fresh. Meat was also incredibly fresh and the bar for all the veggies was incredibly clean. Would highly recommend! Service, ambiance and food were 10/10
