Yasaiya

For dinner is 25$ AYCE, but only vegetables, any proteins are additional upcharge depending on whether meat or seafood. The variety of vegetables is very large, almost all variety of greens you can think of, and multiple mushroom options. If you are strictly a veggie person, the deal is a good one for shabu, but if you are a protein eater, it would probably work out more cost effective to go a place, and pay 30$ + that would have a much smaller veggie options, but you get to have as much protein as you like, if you're a meat eater, it works out more cost effective if you go to a traditional spot. Yasaiya is a popular Japanese shabu-shabu (hot pot) restaurant located in the Little Neck area of Flushing, Queens. It is known for its "all-you-can-eat" (AYCE) vegetable buffet and individual ho

We’ve been to Yasaiya Shabu Shabu a few times now. It’s an all-you-can-eat individual hot pot, but the meat is ordered separately. All the veggies, mushrooms, tofu, fish balls, and desserts are included in the buffet part, and everyone picks their own broth. The flavors are just okay — nothing amazing, nothing terrible — pretty average overall. And even though the place focuses on vegetables, it’s actually not that cheap. Maybe just slightly cheaper than other hot pot spots, but not by much. Still, it’s a decent place to go when you want something warm and simple, and since we’ve already gone a few times, I’d say it’s good enough for a casual meal.

I really enjoy this place. The seating is comfortable and unlike most buffet restaurants this is not cramped. Service is superb, they will fill your soup for you when it is running low. Very clean and spacious. The meat costs extra but veggies, mushrooms, fishballs, meatballs, and noodles are all unlimited. The only thing is the broth isn't too flavorful, so you definitely need to make some sauces to make up the flavor. However, for the price you are definitely getting your value. Good selection of veggies.

Great AYCE hot pot buffet in Little Neck. The buffet covers your choice of broth and includes a wide assortment of vegetables, tofu, fish ball type foods, and noodles. Meat and seafood selections are available as a per-order add-on. I will probably come here again since it seems like a better price than my previous go-to...as long as I don't have a hankering for a lot of meat/seafood.

The broth was very flavorful and the individual pots were a great experience. The food was amazing. You have to go!
