Came here again with my roommate this past week and Ayame was as delectable as ever. & as always, impeccable service!

I was on my hot pot/shabu run and I decided to check this place out thanks to yelp!

Solid 4.5 stars for me!
I was enticed by the buy 1 get 1 50% off deal (Daily Yelp Promotions - explained in detail below!)
This place is pretty damn good. It gives Ayame a run in my shabu world.
But, I think what makes them stand out is their sauces.…More »
I don't know when my hot pot obsession began. Ask any of my friends, I was the blasphemous asian girl who hated hot pot (I mean who hates hot pot right? haha).
I've been to this location several times. Their stinky tofu isn't' stinky enough but…More »
What an awesome experience! I've never had Korean-style Shabu Shabu. Started our meal out with 4 dishes of banchan (potato salad, kimchi, fish cake and some other pickled cucumber-esque thing).
I had the seafood which came with scallops, fish,…More »
Chinese owned Japanese establishment = Cheap prices. Well, I mean it can go either way but in this case, it's a WIN!

5 stars for service
3.5 for food/price
= 3 stars? Yep, 'cause it's A-OK.
I like that California Shabu is a little different. For broth, you start with a traditional kombu (seaweed). You get a plate of vegetables…More »
Reservations recommended! Parking diagonally across the street - free with validation.
But, this place is super purple-y, I love it! Came here for dinner on Friday night with Nicole L. They have the option of traditional shabu shabu or sukiyaki.…More »
Came here to try it out! I got the half sukiyaki & half shabu. Sukiyaki is a sweet mixture of soy sauce, miring and sugar & you dip your meat in raw egg.
*The sukiyaki was way too sweet for me.
*The jidori chicken was little chunks as opposed to…More »
I definitely prefer this place over Happy Sheep in terms of general cleanliness and sanitary practices. They have their sauces in the corner for you to ladle yourself (as opposed to dirty looking containers).
It can definitely get pricey, depending…More »
