The price is average ayce. I went to both noho and ktown location. The lunch is $30. Which I think it's alright. Food is great like most ayce shabu. Their tomyum was a refreshing change

This place is like a testing of your boundaries. First when we arrive there is absolutely no one no customer in the restaurant. That was terrifying we thought it was closed, but then when we open the door, there’s a girl coming to the door saying that it is still open. We feel weird that there’s absolutely zero people in the restaurant but We decided to give it a try and just sit at a table. Then the girl gave us one piece of menu only called menu B which is the most expensive menu set. When we asked her for the menu A, she said, menu B is the only menu they served. We think she was trying to deceive us for the most expensive menu set forcing us to to choose the most expensive sad meal. This kind of behavior is the number one rat flag of a shop with no integrity . However, since we have already sat down and this place is not expensive anyway even for the more expensive menu, we just go ahead and order even their manner shows deceiving customers treating them as fools already spoke a lot about the restaurant. Then we were told if we have any leftover from the food that we ordered, we will have to pay for the leftover That was the first time we ever heard about something like that anyway we ordered some meat and when the girl served us meat, she did not put the dishes in proper order. It was like just dumping them on stacks at the corner of the table letting us to serve ourselves and we have to be the one to unstuck and arrange all the plates for ourselves. When we asked the girl for recommendation, she has zero recommendation her attitude was just not friendly no hospitality at all. Then when we were eating, she suddenly came to us and tell us that the kitchen is gonna closed so we have to order right now if we need a refill . It feels like that is their tactic to stop us from ordering free refill limited to only one time though their menu clearly says unlimited refill. So we have only ordered one refill since we were not given much time to order and eat. So while we were eating she came to us again and asked us to pay for the bill first while we were eating. So rude, but we said nothing. And she came back again and asked us to pay for the bill. We thought the heck just wanna quickly get out of that place so we just stop eating suddenly and just go to the counter and pay for the bill and return to our table and continue to eat. That’s the first time ever we have experienced something like that. After we paid the bill in the middle of our meal, we thought that’s it, she can leave us alone and we can finally eat at peace. But then later on the music was turned off and AC seems to be have turned off too. It felt like they were trying to rush us to leave since we were the only customer there for the night. Awkward enough we just quickly rush to eat the rest of our order. Then the girl showed up again coming to our table and telling us that we have to finish eating in five minutes and then we remembered very clearly what she said to us - She told us that we have to finish up in five minutes, so “finish it up” that’s what she said to us as straight out ordering us. Quite a disturbing and disappointing and very surprisingly terribly rude experience but interestingly enough to have experienced something with poor service in that extent, it’s the first time we ever experience such a lot of rudeness within one meal experience. This is like a testing of customers’ boundaries. And now we finally understand why the restaurant was totally zero customer when we entered.

Haven’t been here in a while but it’s AYCE shabu shabu with lots of different soup bases. I liked the mala soup base. It was empty so service was good and meat came out quickly. They give you free ice cream after which was great.

Atmosphere is not great, and we were forced to order a hotpot portion each (which is quite expensive $30+) even though we were not too hungry. I don’t recommend this place

Hands down best Shabu spot in Koreatown. I come here every month to eat. Their food is so fresh, high quality, and delicious. They have just started an unlimited shabu shabu menu. All of their meats and vegetables are premium. Their soups and sauce options are also perfection. I highly recommend everyone to try this out. I love the vibe too!
