In Short – Walking into this bustling corner restaurant on Sawtelle is like experiencing a little slice of Tokyo by way of L.A. Japanese patrons from 18 to 80 sit atop bar stools lining the enormous circular countertop, while small bubbling pots of water percolate invitingly. The shabu-shabu menu features noodles, meat, seafood and vegetables (all available in higher priced organic varieties)that guests can cook in the simmering pots of broth that are customized with spicy oil, tangy ponzu or sesame sauce. – –

Great Shabu Shabu
by violet101 at Citysearch
We went there for a lunch and had a good time and a great meal. Have the person behind the counter create the dipping sauce for you. It made the food so much more tastier!
- Pros: Fun Shabu Shabu Experience
Care for some $20 cabbage???
by marpop at Citysearch
After realizing Asahi Ramen was closed, we decided to give this cool-looking corner shabu-shabu a try. The ambiance is great -- the wraparound counter-seating (each equipped with its own boiler) allows for great people-watching. But a fun setting only goes so far. I eat at a lot of pricey restaurants, but looking at the menu, I could not believe the prices. I mean, $18 for a plate of uncooked veggies and tofu??! Give me a break!! Even worse, the so-called veggies were actually a handful of cabbage leaves and a single SMALL piece of squash !! What a freakin' joke! Oh, and if you want meat or seafood? Expect the price to double! Everything is presented to you raw and uncooked (that's what the boiling pots of water are for) and while that is a fun way to actually participate in your meal, it really is not worth the price. My advice: wait for Asahi on a day it's open and save your cash. This is the last time I spend almost a hundred bucks on cabbage!
- Pros: Great setting, nice service
- Cons: Prices are ridiculous for what you get
Best Shabu Shabu in LA
by mechemist at Citysearch
This is the absolutely best Shabu Shabu in LA! The food is fresh, the sauces are absolutely addicting, and the service is great. We have been going nearly every week for quite a while and have never had a bad meal. The servers are very friendly and will make your sauce for you if you ask. If you go for the first time, don't be shy and ask them the best way to do everything. We always see them helping newcomers. Have some dessert also - quite a treat!
- Pros: Great food, friendly service
Not overly pricy.
by loftyjoy at Citysearch
Good place for a nice hot shabu shabu without breaking the bank!
Service is so-so, but not a bad place to bring a date!
- Pros: good place for shabu, not overly pricy. valet parking in the back.
- Cons: service is just ok.. not a place to bring a big party or kids.
Standard shabu shabu
by cartrinh at Citysearch
I eat here all the time because I love shabu shabu and because it is close to my place. It's expensive so I only come during lunch. Dinner is a rip off. It's just your typical shabu shabu. Nothing fancy.
