Great food and really good service, given that it was Valentine’s Day and very crowded. We weren’t seated in the dining room; it’s much nicer than where we’re seated—kind of a bar area. TV’s—ugh.

Valentine's Day. Arrived early and accommodated promptly. Cold water, warm bread. Prompt greeting and placed wine order. Waiter promptly placed meal order, attentive busing. Salads and soup comfortable , main course shortly thereafter. Filled the plate, nice presentation and hot. nice portions-no room for dessert. Second great experience in as many months.

These days, with inflation driving up the cost of everything, it’s hard to find a good deal. But at Shabu-Yo, you get unlimited fresh vegetables, beef, pork, and seafood—plus a great selection of ready-made dishes and desserts. On top of that, the staff are always friendly and welcoming. The overall value you get is well worth the price. Highly recommended!
