Kokumi - Arcadia

The shabu shabu is excellent! Quantity and quality of the meat and seafood can't be beat. Veggies are plentiful. The broth is the best especially the crab broth with real crab. Knocking off a star for service, which could be more attentive.

Great shabu place with a delicious variety of broths and appetizers. Their marinade in their Kokumi meat platter is really unique and a must try. Their Goma sauce is also one of the best I’ve had. This restaurant is all outdoor underneath a tent so the ambiance isn’t that of a fancy restaurant or date night place but it is a good casual dining place and they do keep it comfortable with heaters.

Used to be a crowded restaurant. 3 waiters wording right now. At least one of them is a new trainee that doesn't know what's going on. No problem for new staff, which I understand he's learning. The sweet shrimp sushi was worse than mediocre. The popular Kokumi tofu was missing. I'm not sure if they have a new owner or not, but this place is going downhill for sure.

KOKUMI is a great restaurant for quality shabu-shabu. First time eating here last night, and was impressed by the broth options they offer. The Fire Crab broth was delicious and unique, with a spicy and sweet flavor that really enhanced my meal. I ordered the large wagyu toro, and the quality was excellent. Portions were great with veggies, rice, and ramen included with the meat. Minh was a great server, definitely will be back.

Open 5 to 10 daily Outdoor seatings only We got the special and it was pretty good. Upgrade the soup base for $4. Worth it. I tried the tomato soup base and it has some salmon, a shrimp, and mussel added in. Very flavorful. The crab soup base was spicy and added additional 1/2 crab. Service good. Outdoor seatings ok on a cool night. Very decent Shabu for this price. We will come back!
