y shabu shabu

Their tonkotsu broth was good, but the authentic japanese broth they had just wasn’t it for me. The meats were all really good selections, but I learned that day that I do not ever want to eat cow throat ever again. Karaage was soooo good, wish it had came with like spicy mayo or something. I also ended up getting a stomachache which I’m not sure if it was eating too much or eating something bad.

Surprised my daughter by taking her here for lunch and she loved it! Hotpot was great and the service was even better! Zack was the goat! He was very kind, attentive, and such a hard worker. Thank you Zack for taking great care of us today!

I don’t usually leave reviews but I really wanted to highlight our server Kat (Cat?). She was attentive but not overbearing, accommodating, super helpful and knowledgeable, and on top of that had a great attitude and pleasant personality without seeming fake! Please be kind to her when you go! The whole staff worked well together actually, but this is about Kat! Food was great, the music made me feel like I was in Heated Rivalry but maybe that depends on who was on Aux. This has been my second time in, my first time I sadly only gave myself 1 hour, so this time after 3 hours we developed a great strategy for next time and how to optimize our food consumption (with help from Kat).

Used to love coming here. The server we had, a guy in a suit, barely greeted us, never smiled, looked annoyed that we were there. Realistically we should’ve just went somewhere else as the hot pot scene in Rhode Island has expanded. We asked 4 times for more water, and never got our actual drinks refilled. The broths also weren’t as flavorful. The overall experience wasn’t something I’d want to repeat, unfortunate since it’s in my neighborhood.

The shabu shabu is AYCE and it is worth it! It includes appetizers and dessert. We were two of us and including tips it set us back ~$130 w/o alcohol. You get to chose from about 6 broths. The soups are heated on induction stoves and they heat up.pretty quick. Service is great! Seems like there were only 2 servers on a Wednesday night. There weren't many patrons and they handled the few with ease. The serve the food pretty creatively. I really liked the way they served the shrimp paste. The seafood seemed really fresh as opposed to the meats which are obviously frozen. If you are craving shabu shabu this place will not disappoint.
