Shabuway

This place has gone downhill. It’s in need of at least a deep clean. The meat was mediocre. Service was friendly but they need more training, for example to remove dishes as people are finished with them. Also beware, they attempt to get a tip on the taxes. Their receipt shows suggested tips based on the total amount after tax, not the actual amount. Would not return.

I really wanted to like this place, but just not a great experience. The guy behind the counter kept on taking my plate away before I was done, and they don’t even give you a plate or bowl unless you ask. AYCE is pricy, and the meat is average quality. Was here on a rainy day and almost slipped on the wet floor because the staff didn’t think to mop the wet floor. I like supporting small local restaurants, but I don’t know if I will be back.

Great quality of meat. The ventilation needs to be improved. Service is good. Overall needs to be remodeled.

This is my favorite restaurant for healthy lunch. If I don't ask too many bowls of white rice, Shabu-shabu hot pot is low-carb, high-protein meal with good amount of dietary fiber, therefore I go to Shabuway at least once a week. The owner always carefully purchases the quality meats. When he could receive a good quality of beef blocks, he recommends Angus beef, for example, with confidence even I was about to ask Kobe beef which is higher priced. The owner is such a honest guy yet low-key usually. The meats are such carefully chosen, and the sesame souse is the best part of this hot pot. I can buy several Shabu-shabu sauces from Japanese supermarkets but no one can beat Shabuway’s rich and flavorful sesame sauce. Because Shabu-shabu is a self-service cooking, you have to careful heating t

Service is average but the food is just so bad given the ayce price. The meat is not tender at all and doesn’t taste fresh.
