Ten Shabu - West Covina

I still love this place. I have been coming here for around a year. Back in February I introduced my sister and niece to this place and they love it too. Now it is July 2018 and we brought my nephew who is a very choosy eater. It took a while but once he decided to try he loved it as well. The thing I love most is that not only is the food great but so is the service.

It's a nice restaurant, but it's definitely not inexpensive. However, the ambiance is pleasant, and the meats are served on demand. You have about an hour and a half to enjoy the buffet.

If you prefer larger portions, you'll definitely get your money's worth with the premium All You Can Eat options. The food quality is consistently good. However, if the restaurant is busy, you might find that you receive a bit more attention at the bar for refills and new orders.

1. We found a lot of sand in the clams. It was quite off-putting, so we decided not to order any more clams after the first round. 2. There seemed to be some confusion regarding the meat we were served. The staff told us that the meat in the first photo was "premium beef" and that the second one was "Wagyu," but that doesn't add up! Are you serious? 3. The calamari was okay, but it had a thin yet overpowering film on the surface. You can see it in the third picture—it was quite amusing! Overall, there's potential here, but a few adjustments could make it even better.
