Shabu House - San Francisco

The house sauce and spicy mala is amazing. Service has gotten faster and the ice cream is a nice finish to the meal.

Absolutely me and my wife’s favorite Shabu spot in the bay for AYCE Shabu Shabu. We’ve been coming here since prepandemic and the server Teresa would always take care of us and offer friendly service. It’s easy to make a reservation through Yelp. The interior feels cozy and has stuff animals on the bench seating with pictures and details of the broths they offer on the right wall. The numerous broths they offer are all flavorful and unique which you can’t find at most shabu/hot pot places. Our personal favorites are: 1) Szechuan spicy pickled cabbage which is peppery and sour with a bit of a kick. 2) Sukiyaki broth which is savory and sweet that compliments and enhances the sweetness of the nicely marbled wagyu beef they offer. This is the broth we miss from Japan that this place satisfies our craving for. 3) Spicy miso which is common amongst shabu restaurants but they add more miso in theirs which taste more flavorful and is actually spicy. We always order the wagyu beef which they slice thinly and the meat is well marbled so it melts in your mouth, our second favorite is the New Zealand lamb which always taste fresh and not gamey at all. Here are our favorites from the menu that’s included in the AYCE: Vegetable platter Can’t decide? It comes with a variety of their veggies Tsumire Bamboo Rolls minced wagyu beef w/ negi(green onion) or corn Chicken Kara age nice and crispy to get the appetite going. Takoyaki fries comes with the sweet and slightly tangy Takoyaki sauce topped w/ bonito flakes. Cilantro Wagyu dumplings flavorful dumpling to go with their broth and not overpowered by cilantro. House sake check in and you get a bottle for 50 cents Lastly they offer you a complimentary dessert at the end of your meal which is a bowl of vanilla ice cream with a brown sugar syrup and kinako powder and it is SO addictive and delicious.

A great shabu shabu experience! They had a good variety of soup bases and an excellent quality meat and veggie selection. They also didn't skimp on the amount each order like some places. We went with option A (unlimited) and didn't regret it. Also the ice cream at the end was a lovely way to end the meal!

Really nice Shabi place in SF. Atmosphere felt warm and cozy. Value is also good as it was 40$ all you can eat and included Wagyu beef. The beef was super tender and definitely one of the better ones for the price! The cocktail was also super good and they have flavoured soju pitcher and sake.

Fresh ingredients, delicious broth, friendly service. Went here for dinner with my mom and partner recently. Got kimchi broth and mushroom broth, along with fish, beef, shrimp, king oyster mushrooms, noodles, seaweed, pumpkin, and the veggie combo. Everything was super delicious. Also ordered takoyaki fries, which were awesome. Definitely coming back.
