Reviews for Nabemono Shabu Shabu in Alhambra, CA
We were die hard for Tokyo Shabu Shabu and had to find a new place post pandemic. We tried this place and love it. Their broths... are delicious. Meat is always fresh and all you can eat veggies. I usually get their fresh ramen as my carb and it neverdisappoints. The only thing is don't get the A5 waygu, the beef belly is better Read more
Awesome Japanese Shabu Shabu!! Their top notch service is even better than their top notch quality meat. Order and pay directly... from your phone. A little pricy but it's totally worth it. Free veggie refills! I'll be back! Read more
To be fair I knew coming here was going to be pricey but I was still curious how good is the ingredient. I got the Angus steak... cut which was the cheapest among their choices of beef cuts that still rounded off about $29 for medium sized plate. TBHcompared to other hotpot restaurants in the 626 area, we can do better. Quality didn't stand out as the cut I got had mostlyfats. But why 1 star? The place was pretty filled when we were there, but the restaurant didn't even have their AC on. Theserver puts down the plate of ingredients and ask us to pass 'em down like he's too lazy to serve each person individually. SoI'd say the only fancy thing here is the price and the restaurant name. Disppointing. Read more
We were able to get a seat quickly when we went there after 8pm on a Saturday evening. It was quick to order on their app... through QR code. Each meat dish comes with broth and a side of veggies and carb options (noodles or rice). We got 3 meat platesand 1 mixed seafood plates for 4 people and it was enough. Everything arrived pretty quickly. The quality of meats and seafoodwere great and fresh. We didn't mind paying a bit more for the quality. ???????????? Read more
We ordered large chuck roll and lamb. The veggies bowl is unlimited. Very fulfilling.
Nice little shabu shabu restaurant in downtown Alhambra. They were still practicing social distancing, but was able to be... seated within 5 minutes. Overall, about 15 tables and about 10 seats at the center bar. Was immediately greeted and placed onthe short waitlist. Ordered several appetizers from the edamame, karaage, curry fries, squid leg karaage, and garlic wings. Took a little longer than expected to place my order, but once ordered, the appetizes arrived pretty quickly. All theappetizers were good, but my favorites were the squid leg karaage and curry fries. Gyoza, karaage, and garlic wings were good,but what you would expect from an authentic Japanese restaurant. For the shabu shabu, it is a 3 step process of choosing yourprotein, choosing your broth, and choosing your carbs. The proteins were a nice mix of beef, pork, chicken, lamb, duck, andseafood. They allowed you to do a combination of 2 different proteins. The broths were a variety of soy based, miso, andtomato types. The carbs were choices between types of rice and noodles. I opted for the beef & seafood protein, creamy porkbone broth, and udon noodles. All the ingredients were fresh and plentiful. I cooked the food, so won't criticize thecooking... Overall, nice authentic shabu shabu restaurant. Service and food were good with a nice variety of options. Read more
Great spot for date night, families or a big group! I ordered sukiyaki broth with beef chuck, mixed tempura and spicy edamame.... It all tasted very flavorful and I could tell very fresh ingredients. I plan to come back and try the spicy pork bone broth! Thefresh ramen noodles were amazing with the sesame sauce! Read more
