If you're looking for delicious, authentic hot pot , go to Chinatown. Try the Takoyaki appetizer and a side of mushrooms and fish paste . My favorite trick - ask for a raw egg to cook in the broth.

Cameron Ryan

The Thom Yum & Kimchi broths are my favorites. Adding the fish paste & frozen pork dumplings are highly recommend. All the staff members are so helpful and friendly ♥️

Brian Erickson

This is literally the best meal I have ever eaten. And I have eaten a lot of meals. The meat is incredibly fresh. You make your own broth and it just gets better and better as the meal goes on.

Jason Porter

This is the best of the best when it comes to hotpot ! Don't be afraid to try the beef tongue appetizer . So damn good.

Jordi Llobet

Quick and good service , quicker than others hotpots places I've been. The hotpot was so tasty (the meat was awesome!). Also, they've got alcohol so that was music for my ears.

Cameron Ryan

Delicious every time! I usually sit at the bar & get the A10 Meat Combo or A11 Surf&Turf. The Sapporo Silver is always cold. Get the chocolate truffle ice cream for dessert - so good!!

Ann-Marie Tang

Had the spicy Mongolian broth which was a good amount of spice yum! The premium meat is expensive with not a lot of meat - would go for the regular meat dishes.

John Sims

My first time at a hotpot place. Don't freak out, the staff are very helpful. For a first time try the herbal chicken broth and the pork broth with the beef . Best of luck!

A hands-on approach to dining, Shabu-Zen lets you cook your own food at your table in a piping hot broth. Not sure if you want beef or pork ? You can cook up both, with your choice of veggies . Read more
