First time here and loved it! It can be a bit daunting if you don’t understand the process of cooking and menu but the staff at very helpful and it’s really hard to get it too wrong. A bit messy, but the food is delicious!! Highly recommend trying out Tabu Shabu!

The waitress was very nice and kind to explain us how Shabu worked, we also followed her recommendation on food choices and our meal was delicious. Meat and veggies were fresh. We will go back soon.

Best bang for your buck in the harbor. Service is great..food is great! It's not the place for a quiet romantic dinner. But it's a great place for a fun party! And if you like salmon sashimi, they have some of the best salmon!

Fun experience cooking your own meat and veggies at your seat. Our enthusiastic server, Kevin, walked us through it all since we were newbies. Just get the regular size, it is very filling with all the broth and veggies!

Fantastic. Exactly what you are looking for in Shabu. Small Saki selection but they have all the bangers. Food was fresh and delicious. Staff are on point from front to kitchen. 11/10 shabu experience.

Service is top notch. Food is very good. I've been to all the local shabu places and this is my favorite by far. Hole in the wall vibe but modern clean place. They remember my family when we come in, and treat us like Kings. Keep this place going guys it's a hidden treasure!

It was my first time here, and all I can say that it’s amazing! The food and the customer service were, hands down, the best! We had the pleasure of Brian assisting us today, and he did such a great job. Rather than feeling like a stranger, Brian made us feel like we were at home with all his suggestions and aid! It is bar seating only, but even if you don’t like that you’ll have a good time. Not a huge fan of bar seating, so when I came in and saw that I was like “uh-oh!”, but it did not bother me at ALL! long story shot, I LOVE THIS PLACE! 10 out of 10, I would come here again!

I was obsessed with Tabu Shabu when i discovered it in Carlsbad, went back 3x on that mini getaway. There’s something about the freshness of eating shabu shabu (hot pot) that is so satisfying. Then Tabu Shabu takes it an extra step, they transform your leftovers into an Asian Risotto... creamy, delicious, and mouth-wateringly good. Service was great at this Huntington Harbour location in an outdoor mall by Trader Joe’s. They play upbeat music, keep the space sanitized and comfortable, they seat parties in pods, constant attention given with extra condiments, serving utensils, monitoring your broth, super hot sauce drops in your dipping sauce upon request, etc. We got the grass fed prime beef regular size and tonkotsu broth or spicy miso / tonkotsu mix. Bountiful set of fresh veggies that you can choose to customise, my daughter only got broccoli, spinach and tofu. My teenage nephew inhaled his first round of beef, so we got him another set of beef.. It’s a lot of food, so i always have a lot of leftovers. They take your leftover broth, add rice, add more broth over and over until it thickens. Then add an egg and chilli garlic sauce and other yummy stuff, and sesame seeds.. omg.. it’s so good that i dream about eating it. Highly recommend!

Great service. Great 90s hip hop music playing the background. Food was solid. If I'm in area and craving shabu I'd go again.
