No surprise, regular shabu. Our friends found a piece of nail from her soup, they reduce only $8 bucks out of $170 for food quality... Just average...

We've been coming here for years (yes we miss Jose ;) and have never had any meal or experience that wasn't top notch! Great food, great service and vibe. Healthy delicious eats.

This is a really awesome shabu shabu restaurant! They have the most friendly and attentive staff and the vibe inside is relaxed and modern. It’s a little pricey but the meat is very high quality. The ribeye and chicken are my favorite. I love that they give you a ton of veggies and you can customize more or less of whatever veggies you want. They also include noodles which I haven’t seen offered at other shabu shabu restaurants. The tonkatsu broth is very flavorful and so are the dipping sauces. I’m so glad to work so close by to this spot!

This is one of my favorite restaurants in Costa Mesa. If you have not been here yet you need to go immediately. My favorite is the spicy miso broth with chicken & all the veggies. If you like spicy make sure to ask the waitress for the spicy drops (beware they are spicy.) This restaurant is a great date spot.

First time here and i do t know why. We enjoyed the service very much. The food was so good, i probably overate. 100% recommend this place. I also recommend the capsaicin drops in the sauce. Harley and Daniel were super helpful.

I had a wonderful experience at this establishment. The wait time for one person was minimal, so no complaints there, but be cognizant of the fact that a larger group may have to wait a bit as the place is bustling. There is a wide array of menu options in regard to broth, beef selection, and other options some may be receptive to in trying out. The service and staff were extraordinary and made me feel truly welcome and were dutiful in the way they attended to their costumers. I am highly suggesting this place to try out the food and to have a great place to hang out with friends and family. Will be coming back again.

First time there with the family and loved it! Very healthy, great service from the pit bosses behind the counter. The restaurant fills up fast so get there early for a spot. The place runs like a well oiled machine….in a good way! We will be going back.

Had lunch for the first time at Tabu a few days ago and it was awesome. A friend suggested that I try it and I had no idea what to expect. It was great, unique experience and the food was delicious! Will definitely visit again.

Came here for a company lunch. It was overall a pretty good shabu place. The meat quality here is pretty good and they give you a decent plate of veggies to go with your meal. The service was ok, I can tell they were short staffed when I visited. However all the staffs are very friendly. Would recommend.

You get your own hot stove and ingredient selection I love this place. Staff were polite and helpful, make sure to pick large portion meats if you are hungry. You prepare your own food here but they provide the raw ingredients and give you instruction. Lots of fun with friends and family.
