Amazing food, enjoyed it, tasty. Great service. Will be back. Thank You!
The quality of the meat is great and the dipping sauces were also good. I wish there were more broth paste options since the broth itself is somewhat boring. When it gets busy, it's not ideal since everyone is crowding the buffet area. The buffet has a good selection of vegetables and sides like japchae and rice cake. I think it's still one of the better shabu places in Irvine and wouldn't mind coming here again
This place is so delicious. We crave it at least twice a month and we are there at least that often. The staff is so friendly and helpful. We love that there are so many seafood and vegetable options. We do not eat pork or beef and we still feel like we get an incredible value and so many options. If you ever want to try shabu/ hot pot, this is a great place to try it out. Easily our favorite in all of the places we’ve tried.

Love this place. Food is so good. I like the brisket and definitely recommend trying the fish. I like that they have a wide assortment of foods. Decent price and not packed on weekdays ( in my experience ). Only gripe is I don't like the shaved ice
I was amazed by the quality of the food, the fact you could have all the meats and seafood as part of the all you can eat buffet. Servers were so attentive, quick, and kind. I don’t know how their rating is not 5/5. Definitely try them out :)
