Shabu Plus Rotary Hot Pot Chinatown — one of Chinatown's strongest japanese spots. The kitchen isn't playing it safe, and easy on the wallet. Jasmine Coleman: "All of the food was fresh, with eating + common areas being CLEAN, including the bathrooms"

“Loved the incredible variety of fresh meats, fresh vegetables, noodle varieties, sauces (recommend the sukiyaki) handmade appetizers, desserts, fruit, drinks and the to-go fresh fruit smoothie to end the meal -WOW”
The quality has been slowing dropping. Which... I suppose every business does.
I had high expectations going into this place but the food was a let down.

This was honestly such an awesome experience you can grab whatever you want from the conveyor belt. I’ve never been to any place like it before they had so many different options and the experience was just a 1010 definitely recommend recommend.

“Kind + hospitable staff make the experience worth everything + more.”
Kind + hospitable staff make the experience worth everything + more! All of the food was fresh, with eating + common areas being CLEAN, including the bathrooms. Complimentary to go smoothies, but you’ll honestly be too full at the end to want to take them. So many food options, including a sauce bar with fruit and salad as well. The convenience of ordering through a tablet was relieving and the speed of service was prompt.

“Experienced the ‘adventure’ menu.”
Experienced the ‘adventure’ menu! It’s fun getting food from the rotating conveyor belt—a lot of side dishes to choose from. You can also choose from the available broths. I chose Tonkatsu -so good. You can also try the Kimchi Jjigae. The crew assigned to us always makes sure we have all our orders right away. The desserts are a plus, too!!

“The mochi ice cream was 🤌🤌 I could eat it all day.”
The mochi ice cream was 🤌🤌 I could eat it all day. You get a free smoothie! The broths were phenomenal..my only problem was the small bowl and the spoon in the broth, I made an unbelievable mess trying to get food from the broth to my bowl

“The experience was positive because the food was something new for me.”
The experience was positive because the food was something new for me. While I appreciated the atmosphere, I found the service to be lacking. None of the staff offered assistance or explained the operation of the hot pot heat until my soup began to burn. Someone arrived with an less than ideal attitude and asked us to turn it off. If you enjoy eating a lot, the "all you can eat" option may be a good value. However, I think paying almost $60 per person is expensive for those who don't eat a lot.

They have the best rewards, food and service! I enjoyed coming in a few times during my birthday month and eating for free.

They were busy so I’ll admit I had to ask a few times for things like silverware and refills on broth before they brought, but the food was so amazing I could care less. It was amazing and easy enough even a kid could figure out how to drop their own ramen. Was so fun, can’t wait to go again!
