This was my first hot pot experience and it did not disappoint. The staff were extremely helpful and cheerful. They cared to come by the table multiple times. Refilled out pots with broth and more meat. The meat and veggie selection were superb! It was a bit overwhelming with all the selection you could add to your hot pot. From seafood, veggies, and sauces. But everything was fresh! The industrial neon esthetics are pleasing to the eye. I absolutely love the lighting of this restaurant. Definitely will be coming to this place again!

Shabuya is an outstanding destination for hot pot lovers, offering an unlimited selection of fresh meats and an open bar brimming with sauces, and toppings to customize your perfect meal. It's the ideal spot to gather with friends and family, whether you're celebrating an occasion or just enjoying a cozy dinner together. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, making the experience even more enjoyable. The staff truly stands out with their exceptional service--waiters are always attentive, ensuring your plates are full, drinks are refilled, and you have everything you need throughout your dining experience. Overall, Shabuya delivers a well-worth-it dining experience that combines quality food, a great ambiance, and impeccable service. Highly recommend it for a fun and delicious outing!

Decided to hit up Shabuya during this fridge weather, i remembering when this used to be a Korean buffet while back. Still has that garden look outside, pretty nice touch. Street parking was easy, and I checked in on yelp, waited about 20 mins on a busy Saturday night. Picked the Chinese and original broths...super rich and flavorful. Meat came out steady, although a bit tougher than I remember. Not a ton of sides like their Vegas spot, but enough to keep it solid. Loved grabbing my sauces and veggies, plus those lobster balls hit the spot. Price? Totally fair for the spread. Worth it.

My friend and I, have been craving hot pot because of the cold weather; we stumbled across this business and had to see what it was all about. Straight off the bat I really liked the vibes, and decor. It was busy, but we didn't wait long to be seated, since you can use the yelp waitlist feature. I opted for the spicy broth, which was super flavorful and delicious! I was impressed with the quality of the meat, and by far the best part of this establishment. I will say it was lacking choices with the vegetables+ other options. I was hoping for enoki mushrooms, among other things that were not there.

Unlimited shabu shabu is yummy for 30 bucks.. always full so I suggest having a reservation. Outside dining only. Free bottled water. Both self parking and valet is available. The soup has msg. I am sensitive to msg so I can tell. Unless the owner say that there isn't then I will agree. Yummy! I highly suggest Still my favorite shabu place.

First time at Shabuya. Loved it! Parking can be a little confusing at first. They have their own parking lot behind the restaurant where only Valet parking is available for $2. They have a sign on about their parking on one of the gates and you'll see a lit sign for it if you drive down the street a little. Street parking is scarce but sometimes you can get lucky. The entrance to the restaurant is from the parking lot. No way to enter from the front. No idea what this place used to be. Looks like it was a Japanese restaurant with koi ponds and gardens. The courtyard still exists but is not filled nor maintained. There is a blocked off area that looked like it might have been an outdoor bar or club area. It would be nice if they ever to bring that front courtyard back to life. The wait was a little long but Shabuya seems to be very popular. You add your name to a waiting list as soon as you get there. There are long benches along the wall for seating while you wait. There are several rooms/areas for dining. Hadn't realized how big this space really was until I walked in. The placed was bustling with business but somehow still felt like there was plenty of space even while walking back and forth from the self-serve bar. Higher quality meats, veggies, and seafood that other hot pot restaurants I've been to. I also enjoyed having more options for soup bases than I'm used to. Amongst my friends, we all tried something different: original, miso, pork, and sukiyaki broth. Something for everyone in the taste bud range. The self-serve bar was clean and constantly refilled. I saw someone come and wipe down the area several times as well. Some AYCE places just let the mess pile up and get gross. Service was great. We had one particular server that was extremely friendly and helpful. Even offered to switch out our bowl for new ones when it looked like we were low on broth. We left full and happy! Would come back again.

First time at Shabuya! Never had hot pot before and this place made a good impression for me. Parking won't be hard since there's valet. Seating is spacious and everything is like a typical buffet style with a wide variety of vegetables, meats, seafood for your soup. The service is pretty fast and attentive. You can press a button if you require assistance which I loved. The broths were pretty good though I wasn't a fan of the spicy. The meats are really good quality but I'd say skip the shrimp as they were not that fresh. Overall, a veryy solid hot pot place and would come back.

With the cold weather, Shabuya was a great dinner option. I went with a party of 8 and found the best way to get seated was to join the waitlist via Yelp. When you arrive, make sure to check in with the staff and expect to wait to be seated. I went on a Sunday at around 7:30 pm and there was still a long wait. For parking, you can try to find street parking right off of Westlake Ave. However, I opted to do valet at parking, which was about $2. Once seated, I got the Sukiyaki soup base for my hotpot. My group also tried all cuts of meat, which were all delicious. Then I made it over to the self serve bar to get a variety of things. Service was also very great! Our server stopped by frequently to refill our soup, place new meat orders, and take empty places.

If you're craving AYCE shabu in LA, this place won't disappoint despite not being the best in quality. Don't think the Wagyu is really Wagyu, but it's still good. They have all the toppings, noodles, sides, and sauces you can ask for, buffet-style (i.e. you get it yourself). I love that their sesame balls are always so fresh and warm as well. Spacious interior, good for larger parties to eat but not to impress.
